I am confused about the den and when it was made.
I assume that it was made by the whole group with a few of them going off when nearly finished to make a fire.
Then the obvious ,two stay there  (maybe injured) to keep the fire going. The den being finished and a good fire going four of them go off to collect more firewood whilst the other three decided to go back to the ruined tent for blankets and other stuff. excuseme excuseme excuseme .

GlennM:
The pallet of branches and clothing at the corners had got to figure in to the situation.

According to some theorists the tent was actually near the cedar, tied up between a healthy and a rotten tree ,just like the tent itself was rotten..Well now it is put to the test and after celebrating around a campfire under a Xmas like cedar tree, the group retire for the night. All is well until whilst settling down and an almighty crack pierces that Xmas like silent night. With an almighty thump the tree comes crashing down through the tent breaking it nearly in half.
Luckily a couple of the guys and Zina were outside relieving themselves ( I  cannot speculate about distances ). Zina just about out of sight watches in horror as the tree flattens the tent ,and then silence, and then slowly  the moaning and screaming fills the air as the part of the group outside zips up and races toward their friends. You need to make the rest of the story up yourselves.

What I would love to know is if this tree came crashing down, and the foundation for the tent was done correctly there should be about 6 or 7 pairs of mostly broken or smashed skis under or near this tree.
It wood (pun intended )need someone who has read Teodoras book to see what she may have said as regards this.

When camping in the forest , the skis were not needed for flooring. They used fir, spruce branches for insulation .

It is alleged that Dyatlov and other hikers pioneered the method of using skis as flooring on earlier hikes when pitching tents in open areas or where the snow couldn't be dug out to the ground level. Thus , providing insulation and a level surface .

Later in witness statements, it is reported that the tent found on the slope was installed to the correct standards and guidelines.

There are arguments given that the tent could not have been staged on the slope because it was only the Dyatlov group who knew how to install the tent on ski's. I think this was claimed by the hiker that got replaced by Zolo, I have forgotten his name. He claims it would be impossible for outsiders to know to place the skis under the tent.

Also alleged is that the tent was used as a storm shelter the winter before. Dyatlov on another hike got caught in a storm, they unpacked the tent and just crawled inside as the storm was too fierce to allow for the erection of the tent. The put the rucksacks on top of tent and held on for dear life. There is a photo.

It is also reported that Zolo had his level 3 and intact was trying to get his senior grade certificate and not master .

I only found this out yesterday although I don't know if I can trust anything on the internet.
