Should i smash this pricks windscreen? “...’Give it the fucking beans’ mate...”
A fat man running to catch the bus, “...AY MATE, ‘Give it the fucking beans’...”
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.
