Having camped with no tent, lean to, tee pee, wall tent in good and bad weather I have my camping refined to this. Dropped the logs and notched them to stack up a place to spend some time in. A buddy allowed me to build it on his land and use it as much as I want. I have no ownership so no worry’s on what becomes of it when I have no need of it.

Nice camp! I’ve been in all of the aforementioned camps as well and still do the horse with a small lean to. Don’t mine being cold but I don’t like being wet and it rains a lot in Alaska. Then there’s the bear factor. Sleep light and maintain a clean camp. Kind of like the mountain men back in the day. Stop before dark, build a small fire and cook dinner. Then move a couple miles to set up camp.
 
That's setting the bar pretty high. I'm presently scheming on recreating Thoreau's Walden cabin on a trailer frame, and figuring out what pond to park it by when I have the time to rusticate properly. The engineering puzzle is to build an open hearth that can survive a road trip. Right now a welded steel fire place that is filled with gravel as a removable thermal mass is winning.

I am quite envious. You're a lucky man.
