When SHTF, money is low, or you’re just looking to be really frugal and repurpose materials Pallets are a pretty cool solution for building things. We thought this collection of shelters and homes that used pallets or pallet wood might be good inspiration for your own project.

We’d also spray coat or seal them with either primer or a sealent.
