Literal tape with staples in it. Does it make it better? According to the propaganda! (Staple Tape is not available in any stores and must be made by the user. Schools offer the supplies for free if the teachers aren’t looking.)

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.
