Trapped in an icy wasteland


Dear Pedro, Have you ever been trapped in an icy wasteland before? If so, how would you find shelter with barely any trees or any methods of survival? This summer, I was working on my Wilderness Survival merit badge, and I found many ways for finding shelter for frigid weather — too bad it was 90 degrees outside. I guess it will be a long time before I can make a shelter for frigid weather.
– Matthew S., Wylie, Tex.

Once an ice storm shut down the cantina here, Matthew — no tumbleweed tacos, no alfalfa milkshakes; only cold hay and really cold water. It was terrible. Oh … The Boss says that’s not what you’re asking about. So, ummm, gee, I guess not.
