Designed by<a href="http://www.lab-zero.com/lzhome.asp?LINGUA=EN"> Lab Zero</a>, the Yeta Log Cabin is a portable, multi-purpose dwelling that can be set up in any area to provide an extra bit of shelter. Not only does this compact space provide a place of refuge with a rustic aesthetic, but the interior of its small and sustainably-built frame doesn't skimp on the basic modern conveniences -- the Yeta comes complete with a kitchen, bathroom, shower, solar panels and more.1
