Maybe old news,but I have never seen this set...
Nice collection of photos, and really nice looking shelters with classic lines.
Here is a link to Dan Beard's book on shelters, with some examples of some classic types...
Adirondack Lean-To
New Brunswick
North Woods

Log Tents

Going to spend some time poking around this site. Thanks....
Would really like to hear some first hand accounts and stories from folks that built,spent time around, etc...these old shelters from back in the day...
Here's a compendium of info about the Earl Shaffer built Peters Mountain shelter in PA, built between 1959 and 1961, dismantled and stored in 2008: http://luxenberg.info/shaffer-shelter/shaffer-shelter-scrapbook-directory.html
