Adobe blocks. I don't know
if you've seen them.

Jordan's shelter can do that.

Hmm.
368

Can your shelter do that?

First off,
adobe bricks all around

dug into the earth

Almost a 20-degree difference.

Another fine feature
of this shelter
383
00:18:03,182 --> 00:18:06,719
is that fireplace draws
it perfectly up and out.
384

Also pretty clutch comes
this stovepipe.

First off, Jordan.
394
00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:39,385
He used his tarp
as the primary shelter
395
00:18:39,518 --> 00:18:41,220
and built upon that.
396
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:43,889
I really loved his hood vent.
397
00:18:44,023 --> 00:18:46,459
That was using a method
that I haven't seen before.
398
00:18:46,592 --> 00:18:48,260
In a true survival setting,
399
00:18:48,394 --> 00:18:50,196
he did exactly
what you should do,
400
00:18:50,329 --> 00:18:53,065
which is look
for the easiest way out.
401
00:18:53,199 --> 00:18:55,534
But just choosing a spot
that was pretty much
402
00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:57,803
already dug out,
I felt like he could've gone
403
00:18:57,937 --> 00:18:59,505
a little bit further.
404
00:18:59,638 --> 00:19:01,841
Next up was Amós.

Amós to me really understood
the challenge.
406
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:10,516
He was able to incorporate
his hogan-style building
407
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:14,053
into the earth in a way
that was incredibly aesthetic,
408
00:19:14,186 --> 00:19:16,722
and I especially loved
his living roof.
409
00:19:16,856 --> 00:19:19,658
I felt like
it just blended in perfectly

00:19:19,792 --> 00:19:21,060
with the landscape,
411

like his fireplace
412
00:19:23,562 --> 00:19:26,899
was a bit smokey and didn't
have a super good draw.
413
00:19:27,033 --> 00:19:30,569
For Lucas, his adobe structure
414
00:19:30,703 --> 00:19:32,304
really blew me
out of the water.

I was incredibly impressed
by Lucas' bricks that he made.

The desert offers very little
in terms of resources.
