To be stopped and talked to by a weirdo, who for some strange reason keeps referring to you as their friend; to listen to stories at 4 am about how this guy was just trying to go to bed when a girl called him and kept him up for hours.
I was going to bed at about midnight, when all of a sudden I got pigotti'd and was found dead by boredom at 5 o'clock in the morning.
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
