Oh Yeah - his setup, design, and use of materials is awesome ! Watch his youtube channel - seriously this guy has it going on ! I can only imagine how mentally taxing the ceiling insulation job was though...

I want to cross post this in community because this is my DREAM. Only mountains too maybe ?

It’s not cold - you just need better gear and a better attitude
