"Hi! Today I am going to talk to you about how to find proper shelter. Now if you are really stuck and you've decided to stay put, you are going to want a place to stay. So if you are really lost, try to find a good spot off the trail that will be visible to people if they come by but also sheltered enough so you can get out of the wind and rain. A good spot that I see here is maybe just inside here. It's kind of really covered by all these leaves. It will keep a lot of the rain out. The tallest trees up there will keep most of the water and the wind out and these low bushes will keep some of the wind out. Put on your shell. You can maybe build yourself a small shelter or something but just remember if you do have to build your shelter, make sure that you can still hear and see if people are coming by to rescue you. So make sure your shelter is in a good spot to stay warm and dry. "
