Our type of shelter is a **Lean-to-Tent**.

You need...
 * a poncho
 * 2-3 meters of rope(or parachute suspention line)
 * three stackes about 30 meters long
 * two trees about 3 meters apart

Before strating to build you must check to see which way the wind is blowing and make sure the back of your poncho is facing towards the wind. 1. You tie off the hood of the poncho and pull the drawstring tight. 2. Roll the hood long ways, fold it into thirds, and tie it off with the draw string. 3. Next step is to cut the rope in half and tie it to the corner grommet on one long side of the ponch. 4. Do the same for the other side. 5. Attach a 10 centermeters long stick to each rope about 2.5 cm from the grommet. This will keep the rain out of the tent. 6. Tying the string 10 cm long to each gormmet along the ponch's top edge will also keep the water from getting in. 7. Tie the ropes about waist high on the trees. Use a round turn and a quick release knot. 8. Spread the poncho and anchor it to the ground, putting the sharpend sticks through the grommet and into the ground. 9. You now have your lean-to-tent, our shelter of choice.
