I have used a small garden shed before as a bivvy, collapsed into panels can be a bitch to get to the location though.

dont be a girl,,working in only shorts yesterday as it was 20 degrees

My mate (in the pic) built this one about half way up Takapari Ridge (Pohangina) in the late 50s - but after the road went in we just camped beside the car a bit further up in the leatherwood

Made a giant bivy with a truck curtain main log through the middle high up an ropes of that fire place with mesh grill corogted iron for a chimney/trout smoker
Went wth ropes so I can lower it down to prevent snow build up
