Shelter Ideas Using Tarps

I found this on Pinterest on this Board and just had to share it. There are so many great ideas on Pinterest for prepping and food storage. I have found so many great ideas and tips on there. This one for various shelters using a tarp I really love. We have 6 of the huge tarps that you could cover a whole house with, I know because I had to use one when we lost our roof during the wind storm of 2008! I could make some really awesome shelters with them. The only con about them though is that they are so heavy! LOL
