(or more). Mister Survivor might then learn the value of parking his little structure within a treed area to serve as a windbreak. It would not take too many wind gusts to topple in the middle of that field. It might make his middle-of-the-night treks to the greater outdoor "toilet" a little easier as well.

Likewise, if this was meant to be a living structure in a wilderness area, he sure as hell should have included drop-down wood panels to cover and protect those windows.

'Guess I've lived out here too long to be less than practical and I have learned from the best how to survive the backcountry in really bad storms, avoid avalanches, and find cover when necessary--albeit I never pushed the envelope. I'm not convinced this guy has learned any of those lessons. But, it is a cute little house in a calm light snow.
