I built a small shelter that resembles a lean-to at the Lower Reservoir several months ago. I might as well show that one too. So here are some pictures of it.

An A-Frame over a horizontal tree. Sticks on each

side with pine boughs covering the top.

Another amazing 12p Hd Pic

Good job!

A little spooked all alone. I haven't seen anyone for 

several hours.

Inside the shelter looking up. A simple frame.

Will later use pine boughs for a cover.

The front of the shack. Just a simple frame 

right now.

Another frontal pic for size comparison.

I went up to the lake pictured below (Upper Bell Canyon Reservoir) and started building a small shelter. The hike up is rigorous and very time consuming, about 7 hours round trip if you take breaks and build shelters of course. Here are some pictures of the early stages of the shelter. I will probably come back up at a later time with more supplies and add to the shelter.
