“We build an entire cabin for just $25, most of which was the cost of plastic wrap. We also used pallet wood, some screws, scrap lights, an old wood burning stove, and cedar poles we cut from the forest.”

I’ve seen some ski bums living in some ramshackle conditions but a cedar pole structure wrapped in that plastic stuff movers use is a new level of frugality.  You will need a spare wood stove to stay make a cabin that costs less than a full tune on your skis but here’s the blueprint if you’re still interested. If you decide to build this shelter, be sure to keep safety in mind and use a smoke detector.
