I’ve been sketching a simple shelter plan that uses the land itself for insulation and strength. It’s all about minimal cuts, local timber, and a good stone base—no fancy gear required. How do you like to map things out—grid‑by‑grid or more of a flexible outline?

Grid makes the math clear, that’s why I always mark every 10‑meter stretch with a stake. It lets me see exactly where a stone wall or a lean‑to should line up. When the ground throws a curve in, I just adjust the next line, not the whole layout. Keeps the plan tidy and the work steady.
