Bear Grylls would have you believe that finding shelter is the be-all and end-all of surviving in the wild. But, come on, are you really going to listen to a man who once slept inside the hollowed out carcass of a camel?

Don’t be a boy scout, be a man. Nobody is going to give you a certificate for your innovative use of conifers, so stop trying to impress people. You’re not Bob the Builder, and this isn’t Grand Designs.

Put the construction tools and the architectural blueprints down, and sleep beneath the stars instead.

Open yourself up to nature, and let nature open itself up to you.
