may have to try a long term multiple tarp teepee for the winter. Basically a few, probably 4 tarps set up in trapper lean to fashion. Gonna try to rig up wood stove or purchase a collapsible one my critter can haul. A 8x10 is quite ideal for room and storage when set up with good pitch too for throwing rain and snow. Anyone had much experience with tipis or heated shelters?

Rolling the tarp to a pole can help with heat retention. If you have a big enough roof tarp you can have a center poll, not really a teepee, rolled into the tarp. The design if often use in agricultural barn curtains, like for cows, but with massive vinyl.

Tee-pee's usually use 6 or more long poles to set up. My Cousin does fur trapping reenactment and has a tee-pee. The poles for his are about 16 to 20 feet long. But with your donkey, you could pull them as a Travois, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travois

no personal experience with them, I've read the Europeans used the term "hothouse" so i imagine you'll be plenty warm.

the only thing I've ever done was drape my tarp over my tent to hold in heat and lit a few candles. only bad thing about that setup is moisture builds up.

i assume you'll want to leave a small hole in the roof and a section of the floor open for the fire.
