hundreds of different shelters but the main thing is to at least get a mental image of as many as possible to copy.
people get confused as to the role of shelter and fire, in such a situation what counts is it adding together to keep you alive till morning, ranger ricks method of wrapping a tarp/foil blanket around you and crouching over a night light being a rather desperate but effective way of doing so.
the sleeping between two long fires method is also strange but quick an effective. even just grabbing a few armfulls of bushy branches and throwing them on top of you is better than nothing.
for the novice though the debris hut heated by hot rocks is one of the best ways of staying warm I reckon.
