It's a lot easier and faster to set up than a "Super Shelter", more efficient at trapping heat, and very roomy inside. It's also very easy to make. There's no sewing required, it's taped together, and it cost less than $35 for all the materials.

It's also pretty durable. I've tested this one pretty extensively over two years and made a few repairs with duct tape but it's still holding up and will be used again this coming season.

Here's a link to the discussion we had when I decided to make it, here are some more photos, and here's a very short video of it in use:
