This is a survival shelter built to protect 1 person from below freezing conditions. There is space for 1 smaller sized adult to ootch in and lay flat--no provision for tossing and turning. The walls are 2-3 ft thick and supported by a central beam and numerous "Y" shaped branches. The beam alone can bear the weight on an adult jumping. Two branches bent into hoops form the "bread" for the leaf sandwich that is tied with wisteria vines to make a 1-1.5 ft thick disc-shaped door. Its rather claustrophic with or w/out the door, but I suppose it would be a welcome shelter if you were lost in a winter storm.
