    We don't use plywood in Maine. Our specialty used to be baseball bat floors. Now we use milled lumber.

    A great place to leave food for lost and hungry hikers that may venture that way after you. Of course, they have to beat the bears, mice, racoons, and skunks to it, since they have learned to hang around the shelter for their next free meal. If they're too late, at least they get to see the bears, mice, racoons, and skunks when they come looking for their next handout.

    A way to make sure the light doesn't shine in your eyes and keep you awake on starry nights.

    also good for burning all your trash, and every piece of dead wood that can be found in a 2 mile radius.
