If it isn't damaged too badly by the amount of snow that fell this year, most likely. It's 8:20 and turning dark.. maybe I should go again.

This summer since I can only go to certain areas I'll be making a permanent camp including a natural shelter. It's going to be big and elaborate, because what else are you gonna do. I'll be sure to post pictures when I make it.

Cool stuff, Mystik Spiral
I bought some pieces of Cover-All material, I think I'll try to make one of those big wall tents with it

I started on a small half-dome shelter this weekend using only what I could find around me and my multitool.
Spruce roots would have been a major advantage, but the ridges around here were clear cut many years ago by the Forest Service. For me that means no spruce.  They grow down deep in the the hollers, but I didn't have time to go hunt for some. I only had a couple hours, so I didn't get very far.
I go back and finish it next chance I get.

In case anybody wants some closure on that shelter- R.I.P.. The roof partially caved in from the 3-4 feet deep snow melting towards spring. Another may be in the works and the key words are remote and structurally sound
If I woulda finished it before winter..
Laziness and inconsistencies make a shelter with potential a failure!

Too bad, OGTL.
Well, look on the bright side. You've got nothing but time to work on a new and better one.

That's a beautiful sunrise pic.
You should submit it to a photo contest or something. It would be a sure winner.

I heard photo contests online aren't good, because they just take the winning photo from you. It gets people to compete to get their images stolen.
