Walk around your new area and collect any materials you think suitable for the construction of the shelter. Wood, tree branches, any plastic sheeting or bricks are obviously very useful. You will need to protect yourself from rain, snow, wind and too much sunshine as well as extreme temperatures, both cold and hot.

But also keep in mind that the shelter might be your home for quite some time and try to make it your home. Decorative elements such as curtains, plants or similar objects can go a long way to make you feel settled.
