Conestoga Huts are not designed to keep people as warm as one would experience in a conventional style dwelling, though they are warmer and more substantial than sleeping in a recreational tent or unprotected in the elements. CSS general philosophy is that we provide shelters that offer a basic level of security and relief to people, in a timely manner, that are cost-effective and durable. If a person sleeps outside in freezing weather without any protection they are at risk of frost bite and losing limbs, but within a sleeping bag within a Conestoga Hut one will be warm enough to avoid personal damage from inclement weather.
