Trench and wall bivouacs.—By shoveling a trench or building walls of snow blocks, using skis or field-cut poles for rafters, and a waterproof sheet or fir boughs for a roof, a satisfactory shelter can be produced. There are many designs, each with its vociferous advocates. Some prefer a lean-to, others a flat roof; some prefer a rectangular shape, others a hallway with alcoves accommodating two skiers each; some prefer complete enclosure, others insist on an opening with a fire in front. Whatever the design or method of construction, these points should be borne in mind:
1) Provide adequate rafter strength to support a snow
load should a snowstorm arise during the night.
2) If a waterproof sheet is used, be sure it slopes for
drainage and is well anchored with snow blocks or other
means to prevent the wind's ripping it away.
3) If a brush roof is used, cover it with snow if the
weather is cold to keep in the warm air; but if the air
temperature is near or above freezing do not do this as
otherwise melting snow will drip, drip, drip.
4) If an open-front shelter is used be sure an all-night
supply of wood has been gathered. And just in case you
get tired of stoking the fire, or a storm douses it, have
enough brush or snow blocks handy to close the entrance
completely.
5) Trench bivouacs can be constructed in any size.
The simplest is the one-man type, 31/2 by 21/2 by 7 feet,
which can be stamped or kicked into the snow and lined
and covered with fir boughs in about half an hour.
