Glass & StayOut
Glass
I was thinking about how we could design a lightweight, durable shelter that blends into the landscape—any ideas from your field?
StayOut
Keep it low profile, use stuff you already have in nature – bark, moss, that big flat stone you found on a ridge. Stack the bark like a teepee, tuck the moss in between, then throw a tarp over the top and secure it with a stake. It’s light, holds rain, and the moss masks it. When the wind comes, the stone block on one side keeps it from blowing away, and you can still see the sky from the back. It’s quick to set up and you can pack it all back in a backpack for the next hike.

That sounds practical, and it keeps the structure minimal and portable. I’ll sketch a quick layout—just the stone, bark teepee, and a secure tarp. We can tweak the angles so the wind doesn’t lift the bark. Let’s test it on the next trail.
StayOut
Sounds solid—just make sure the stake goes deep enough or the bark can’t just flip over. Keep an eye on the angles so the wind’s not pointing straight at the teepee, and test it in a few light gusts before you head up the trail. No fancy tricks, just a sturdy little shelter that disappears when you’re done. Good luck.

Sounds solid, and the deep stake will keep the bark from flipping. I’ll double‑check the angles before we go up, so the wind hits the stone side. Thanks for the heads‑up—will bring a spare stake just in case. Good luck to us both.
StayOut
Sounds good. Stick to the basics and keep the plan simple. We’ll be fine. Good luck on the trail.
