If the conditions are favorable, one man may construct each of these shelters in about three hours at the most; favorable conditions meaning the type of weather and the availability of wood with which to make the shelter foundation.

The next stop on his schedule will be the University of California. He plans to spend the summer at Michigan university studying economics.
