Best long term shelters?

Next year I plan to live permanently in the forest. Right now I am looking at getting a kodiak 10ft x 10ft canvas cabin hot tent as seen in pic. Curious if these things would last being setup for 10 years straight and if anyone knows much about them? It's a heavy canvas and it will take me 2 days to hike with it into my spot but I know that once setup it will never be found.

Some anons might suggest building my own shelter but because of the area that isn't really viable.

        jerking off while fantasizing about escaping isn't escaping, in fact actual slave masters would prefer you do that, but then you can't be slave, slaves produce more than they consume, you are a parasite leaching off everyone around you.

        "work harder" means investing in yourself to be able to have something more valuable to offer, that you've missed the point this bad means you should probably just invest in a helium tank and a plastic bag.

    Go to a marine supply shop and get some UV canvas treatment. It'll come in cans, like paint, and you brush it on once every year to waterproof and UV protect the fabric.

    It will rot eventually depending on humidity. Could take only 1 year if you dont clean and dry it regularly. Maybe it will keep for 3-5 years. Most likely you'll get holes in the canvas from chimney sparks and the tieout seems will rip.
    All things you can repair potentially but a storm will porbably end your adventure anyways.

      So just carry steel and concrete in and basically build a small shed home? I've thought about it and that seems like the easiest way because the wood isn't of even size it would be a massive frick around to build a cabin. Exactly how thick does the canvas have to be to survive that long how do military canvas setups last so long?

          I'd use steel for the structure it's stronger and lighter and clad it with sheet. Only Concreting the main posts. That was the original plan but someone linked me to those kodiak tents a couple weeks ago and I thought canvas would be a much easier way to do it.

            Definitely start out with a tent but transition to a solid shelter. If you can the foundation of the ground with concrete pillars you are pretty much set for life.

              I just called the retailer and they said they don't recommend these kodiak tents be used for longer than 10 days. That's pretty surprising to me.
              I'll get another cheap larger tent and use that as temp base while I build it.

              I got my hopes up high for those canvas tents now I've got to have a friend or two help me carry the cladding in. Not a huge deal but I wanted to do it alone.

                The cheapest tiny shitty cabins on acrage in my country cost 280k minimum. That's a 10 year mortgage for me for a place I can't live in because I work in town. I could easily take my 40k deposit and spend 20k getting like 5 other guys to build my cabin illegally in the middle of fricking no where nearby a river even if I get caught they won't be able to get in there to knock it down because the materials were carried in by hand a fricking digger isn't going to make it, and this way I would be able to move my livestock and live off them easily.

                It's a genuine plan. It isn't running away like your homosexualy fantasy.

                That's a big no no. If you want to live in the woods and not be found, then you need to understand what lines of drift are and how to avoid them. Go read Eric Rudolph memoir, he hid from the FBI in the mountains of North Carolina for 5 years, all while being number one on the FBI's most wanted list.

                They do well in storms due to the guy lines. Hell, even a normal Coleman tent will do fine in storms if you use your guy lines. I was getting hammered in a Coleman tent with 40mph guys just a few days ago.

    These canvas tents will last for years if you take care of them. Do the following
    >Setup on a south facing slope to increase sunlight on your spot
    >Install a rainfly over the top of your tent (blocks UV, prevents condensation buildup and protects your roof)
    >Dig a drainage trench around your tent so water has a place to go
    >Keep food away from your tent (mice)
    >Make sure your stove pipe has a spark arrestor

    Thats it

      Listen to this guy. Also consider that even if you had to replace your tent every year for about $800-$1k, that would still be a cost orders of magnitude less than any other shelter option.

      I think the real mistake is adopting the mindset that shelter should be permanent. No tribal society had this assumption, aside perhaps from those that lived in caves. Indeed there are plenty of advantages to working with new material vs constantly trying to maintain a failing structure. The Japanese do it right and consider houses to be depreciating consumer goods, to be torn down and replaced every 30 years or so.

    I can't workout how I should fix the corrugated steel cladding to the steel structure. Should I build it in my backyard first and pre-drill all the holes so I only have to bolt everything together or is there a better way? If I bolt it I will use silicone to water proof the holes.

      OP here. I'm going with the steel and concrete route. It's too complicated for me to figure out a way to do this without first building it on my backyard so im going with a basic triangle shape A-frame which is easy as frick to design and build.

      No point messing around with bell shapes and finding out that I fricked it up after carrying it all in like I was thinking about here

      I can build the entire thing with concrete, galvanised square steel tubing, corrugated iron, bolts and a couple hinges for the door. Simple and easy no fricking around with bending.

      Not him, but Eric Rudolph survived through a combination of food caches, acorns, hunting, dumpster diving and stealing from people's gardens. OP could run a trap line as well, but his primary food source is going to be caches. The amount of animals OP would have to hunt to survive year round would decimate the local population, forcing him to become nomadic. You can buy several years worth of beans and rice for under $1,000.

    Probably going to lose my job here pretty soon. Not sure how I will pay rent. I really don't want to sell my crypto. So I think I'm gonna take the tent pill for a year or so until the job market gets better. I live next to millions of acres of public land, so finding a spot to pitch my tent should be easy, also I can move around if need be.
