But my particular idea was to keep it fairly simple, improve it with time, but spend most of my energy. You know, the shelter you really need to think about, it can't be smoky because that'll be miserable. But it is nice to have a fire inside. So you need to have a fire inside that's not going to be dangerous and smoke-free.

And then also airtight because you're never going to have a warm shelter out there because you don't have seals and things like that. But as long as the air is not moving through it, you can have a warm enough shelter. With a fire. With a fire and dryer socks and stuff. Yeah. How do you get the smoke out of the shelter?

If you have good clay and mud and rock, you can build yourself a fireplace, which is surprisingly not that hard. Oh, really? Yeah, it's a fun thing to do. It works well. Take a little hole, start stacking rocks around it, make sure it's opening.

and it actually works you know um so that's not as hard as you might think um for me where i was i i kind of came up with it as i was there with my a-frame you know i hadn't built an a-frame shelter like that before and so when i built it and then i had put a bunch of tin cans in the ground so that air would get the fire so it was fed by air which helps create a draft um but

But I realized in an A-frame, the smoke doesn't go out very well. Even if you leave a hole at the top, it collects and billows back down. So then I cut some of my tarp and made this and cut a hole in the A-frame. And then I made like a hood vent that I could pull down and catch the smoke with. And so while the fire was going, it would just billow out the hood vent. And then when it was...
