    Just a note the shelter is located in a pine plantation with numerous small swamps and a mix of oak maple birch and poplar in thick heavy cover you must get within about ten yds to see it because of the lay of the land. And once we get snow well that will just blend it in more lol

    Looks pretty cozy to me.

    Have you tried it for a nite out?
    Similar shelters were explaned in the Sword of Truth series of novels made under a "wayward pine".
    As near as I can figure, this means a pine on a down ward slope, out of the wind.
    Bend down bows and brush in the out side.
