Indianuity

This is a Doolan's fish camp in the Nisga'a valley in northern British Columbia, where I spent a week for work-related reasons this spring. If you look closely and have perfect eyesight (or click on the pic), you will see that the door is connected with a string through a pulley to a large shackle (in front of the blue plastic bottle). This way, the door, which opens inwards, closes automatically and as little precious heat as possible is wasted.
So much elegant technology to ape after, so little time.

So true.
