Shelter & Home Hardening

This guide is currently in production. It will cover emergency shelter construction, residential hardening against natural and human threats, and permanent alternative building methods for off-grid living.

Planned chapters include:

• Threat triage and shelter priority assessment
• Warmth systems and thermal envelope management — sleeping system R-values, VBL usage, thermal layering for field shelters (source: Insulation)
• Emergency shelters: tarp, debris hut, snow, vehicle
• Intermediate options: cabins, yurts, wall tents
• Home hardening: fire, flood, storm, intrusion
• Infrastructure: water, power, sanitation integration
• Permanent alternatives: cob, earthbag, timber frame, containers
• Decision matrix: which shelter for which scenario

For immediate shelter guidance, see the Shelter Foundation pages.
