I took a class on this type of stuff in high school. Big rocks make a fast shelter make sure if it’s raining the water running down the rock has some were to go other then under you!! lean the wood against it to make a lean to. the best shelter is a fast one.. try to cover it with hemlock, pine branches, leaves, mud, dirt, grass, and even small sticks what ever is on hand at a moments notice. It’s Imperative to stay dry in any life threating wilderness emergence, do what ever is necessary to do so. small Fires help a lot.

You know one thing I learned in my years of scouts was always have a pocketknife and a roll of twine you never know what kind of situation you will find yourself in. Like the scout motto says “Be Prepared!”
