Pretty cool OP. I know its still a work in progress, but Looks much more liveable from the inside than outside.

Do you actually “own” it though if its on crown land?

I'd love a cabin like that in the woods. Bigfoot could probably break in pretty easily though and rape your angus in the middle of the night though.

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

Strong 9.5/10 cabin. With a little TLC and once you complete installation of the wood-fire stove, you'll be set for the end of the world.

What's your plumbing situation like re: bathrooms.
None of the above constitutes legal advice nor should be interpreted as such.

I thought about putting the composting toilet inside, but the whole cabin is only 24x14 so opted for outhouse with composting toilet

Ya, weathertight, but I can finish siding at my leisure.


I own the cabin, not the land. Work permit for as long as I have the trapline.

When I quit for whatever reason, ie I am 90 yes old, I can sell the cabin to another trapper. Or I can slide it out with an excavator and barge it away

Nearest "town" is a 15 min boat ride. But that's only 250 ppl. Lol. Next biggest is a half hr by car. Lots of seasonal cottages around tho . Closest is a kilometer or so away

Mirin bro srs, love the finished hue of the wood in the interior walls and ceiling. Also props for putting that window right where you have the table, now you can mire the woods while having breakfast. I havent seen before the water tanks located in the inside but I guess that's due to the feezing weather right?

What kind of finishing are you thinking for the exterior walls?

Also if you put a nice rug/carpet or something like that inside it's going to give it a lot of warmth
