Brian improves his shelter by reinforcing its walls with logs, building a door, and creating a better roof using tree branches and twigs. To protect his food from animals, he constructs a small storehouse by burying it in a hole in the ground and covering it with rocks and logs.
Brian built his shelter under a rock overhang to protect himself from the elements in the book "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen.
It took 4 days to build it
Brian makes a shelter out of trees in the book "Hatchet" on pages 52-54.

Brian made his shelter safer in "Hatchet" by reinforcing it with additional branches and logs to better protect it from the elements and wild animals, and by adding a windbreak to shield it from strong winds. He also built a raised sleeping platform to keep him off the ground and away from potential predators.
Brian is devastated when he returns to the shelter and sees the destruction caused by the tornado in "Hatchet." He is overwhelmed by the loss of his shelter and supplies, and feels defeated by the setback in his struggle to survive in the wilderness.
