So I camped in the woods again this past summer. I left in nov. but my buddies build a house out of tires that I wanted to share. I came back and lived in in for a month. Its pretty neat, about 18 feet in diameter with a loft that comfortably sleeps six. Its not totally done yet.

You also went out of your way to remain as ambiguous as possible in your other thread.
