Examples of Dubree Huts in 2 Different Climates

Example 1 – Here’s a Dubree hut in an area of Ponderosa Pine and grass (a little drier of an area). This student was a technical guy, and I think a computer programmer. Look at the precision of his framework (it doesn’t have to look that nice).

In this area, there weren’t a lot of pine bows, so he used bark mostly for the roofing. Usually, there’s a loss of bark in a place where’s there Ponderosa’s Pine. He saved what pine bows he could find, mostly for his bedding.

With more trees, this student used pine bows and pine needles for the roofing and bedding.

If you noticed, both shelters were built with an A-Frame design.

Note: Remember to look at the posts on “wilderness survival shelter criteria” and “3 components of a Dubree hut” to see all the steps and check if this student followed them.
