A shelter-half, also known as a "dog-tent" or "pup-tent", is a simple kind of tent designed to provide temporary shelter and/or concealment. Two sheets of canvas or a similar material (the halves) are fastened together with snaps or straps to form a larger surface. The shelter-half is then erected using poles, ropes, pegs, and whatever tools are on hand, forming an inverted V structure.
It is sometimes used for concealment by snipers.
