Over the years I have built a small type of cabin...more of a lean to...but I do not spend a lot of time in it. I also have a cave that I use more than I do the cabin. It is more secure and better hidden. If you don't know it is there you probably will never know that it is there. I have a small body type tent that I carry with me if I am going very far away from my immediate AO...just in case I get stuck out.
If you have an older VW Camper Van I suggest you put a winch on it...if you have not already done so. I used to have one of the older ones and went down a hill one time and did not have enough horse power to get back up the hill. With a winch I did not have to worry much about where I took it.
