Lean To or Shelter

A “Lean To” or “Shelter” is a 3 walled structure generally made of logs with a metal roof.
They are usually built near reliable water sources and have privy’s as well. Most hikers camp in these.
I think they are pretty disgusting. They are known to have rodent problems. Thrill Billy said he woke up with a mouse running across his face and into his sleeping bag the other night in one.
I do not camp in them but have Hung out in them once or twice seeking temporary shelter from the rain. Even if I camp near one I hammock.
