Let’s trade some ideas on cooking and shelter equipment.
I say that a tarp can do the best shelter for all four seasons. A square tarp, centre pole chimney, pegged down with 2 pegs on each corner about 12” apart 3” in from edge, side strings attached 3” in from edge. To make blizzard tight bottom edge put a strip of Velcro on tarp edge to attach an inside ground edge piece.
No sewed in doors just lift any side for entry. Prop sides open to cool off when the sun or the stove is to hot. If the centre of the tarp is low enough the sides can be lifted to the same level to get hot air out.
Any shelter needs an eye level vent to see what the neighbours and bears are doing.
2 sticks in each corner to keep tarp above persons head.
Burn gas or wood on an inside cook stove. I like to burn wood even if I have to carry it in. A wood burning stove needs a baffle to make the cook top hottest part of stove and stop sparks coming from the chimney.
If you cook inside or camp in summer all sides have to open if you want most comfort.
i Got some pictures on.
