Modular Hunting Cabin on the cheap. Looking to make my own.

My dad used to fly parties of goose hunters into camps on James Bay. The indian guides there made huts, with a plank floor, a 2"x4" frame on it, including a door & door frame. They would arrive with rolls of poly and staple the poly onto the frame, walls and roof. Then they'd just slash a hole in the roof, where the stove pipe went through. They'd fire up the wood stove, and it would just burn the poly back as far as the heat took it.

Dad said those were awesome to stay in, dry, warm, snug.

At the end of the hunt the indians would just rip the poly off and feed it into the stove; burn it all up.

Something like that requires a lot of work ahead of time, but once you have a frame and floor built like that, it is quick to setup and very cozy...
