For those interested in cabins, this website Cabin ****™ has an incredible variety of cabins from around the world. Don't be fooled by the website name.

While I am not there it is a kubota b7100 garage. When I weekend there it is a cabin complete with air mattress and propane heater in cold weather. And if I spend a week it is a tool shed.

I found the four plate set of pics of the cabin we built in AK. View attachment 462441View attachment 462442View attachment 462443View attachment 462444

The cabin was built by my wife, son & myself in 1976. Also, see post #5.

If it wasn't for the some of the modern items this looks like it could be a 100 or more years ago.

What to you figure is took you time wise from felling the first tree after the site was clear to having it ready for the first winter.

The only thing I know that is similar is my friends in the Santa Cruz mountains.... they built cabins and to this day their kids still live off grid in redwood homes... spring water etc...

We started in mid-May and it was completed by mid-October. We worked each weekend and stayed at the cabin site for a ten day period in the middle of the summer. As you would expect the mosquitos were horrible and we had a constant visitor - a black bear - that was always looking for food. He became more than a visitor after the cabin was finished. We would leave non-perishable food in the cabin and we could tell by the claw marks on the door that he wanted his share.

I ended up putting a "bear board" on the porch and that ended his visits. Bear board= sheet of plywood with many, many screws drilled thru it, laid temporarily on the porch - screw side up, right in front of the door. When the snow is a foot deep, or so, you only forget about this deterrent ONCE.

I vividly remember the first winter at the cabin. We would get there Friday evening, fire up the wood stove and by morning it was like a sauna inside the cabin. It was a full year before all the moisture in the logs stabilized.

The cabin is twenty mile NW of Anchorage - as the crow flies - to drive there is 72 miles. Because of Cook Inlet - the road goes north, up and around the tip of the Inlet and then back down south on the west side of the inlet.

Not where I am from. we have wood stoves, often warmer then our houses.

Personally I think it is joke calling this a hunting cabin if you can see the house. It is an outbuilding or shed. Guest house. I hope OP is using the term in jest.

That being said have fun in your fort, until the wife flashes the porch light for dinner.

Since my post about how I really feel about you was deleted, I'll try and say it nicer. Take your sarcasm elsewhere as its not needed here. A little snip is one thing but you made several digs in this thread. Enough
