The photos on this page were taken at various places.
The deep snowfall of this winter sometimes created
interesting shapes as it piled up on objects such as stumps
and small trees. |

A frozen "waterfall" -

If you find yourself in a
survival situation sometimes a fallen tree can form part of
an excellent shelter. Provided it's in a dry area, you can
clear out the bottom using your snowshoe as a shovel and
then place the ends of trees and branches on the high part
to form a simple lean-to shelter. This one looks ideal; the
only drawback I can see is that it might be a bit too high.
You want it low and as small as practical, in order to have
less air to heat. |

A beaver lodge in winter.
PLEASE NOTE it is dangerous to walk close to a beaver
lodge, because the beaver stays active in the winter, and
the movement of the water caused by the beaver entering and
exiting its lodge can weaken the ice surrounding the lodge. |
