I hear you and I understand your meaning. I always accept help from folks unless I have a good reason not to. I dunno if I can really explain it better than saying that: By folks worrying about me it was causing me to worry about them worrying about me.
It was a bugger of a feedback loop that goes back over several months now and yeah I just want them to focus on the folks in the DZ. It is never going to make logical sense to you (or anyone else for that matter) because it is/was not logical... it is/was a feeling.
Like I keep saying, I am trying to sell this place and move on. Investing in a shed or any other building makes zero sense and would just be a waste of money. I am also totally fine in a tent and have things setup as well as I can to winter in it safely.
If I felt like I needed something more sturdy I would use the small amount of lumber and other materials that I have on hand to build a shack or something. I could have done that by now but it would just be more stuff to take apart when I do move.
I really do not get all that concerned about the cold weather until it hits single digits and is going to remain there for days. Even then I know exactly all the things that I need to do to survive because I have had to do it before.
I hope that helps.
