Let’s see photos of your hunting cabin

Here’s ours in south central Alaska (Kenai Peninsula), although we don’t do a whole lot of hunting out of it.

Here’s mine, off the grid, in Upper Michigan.

Just a thought for you: I got tired of waiting until I could afford to build the cabin so I took a different approach. Year 1, I cut down the trees for logs (got interrupted by a job change and had to move out of the area for a year). Year 2, came home every other weekend to peel the bark (peeling bark off dry logs sucks). Year 3, built the floor deck and put up the walls then ran out of expendable cash. Year 4, built the gable ends and roof then ran out of expendable cash. Year 5, chinked in the log gaps, bought the wood stove, and moved in for the hunt.

This was a drawn out process, but if I had waited until “I could afford it.” It likely would have been another 10 years before the project was completed. As it is, I’ve now had it for 30 years.

Now that’s a hunting cabin. Pretty sure you didn’t shoot that moose there. Lol

Thanks. No, although we do have moose in the area, we don’t yet have a hunting season.

The moose was shot on a bucket list DIY fly-in hunt with friends on the north slope of the Alaska range.

Awesome! Love a UP hunting camp. And my story is not nearly as cool, as it was bought not built but keeping with the theme. Bought it 15 years ago and was built in the 60's by a mason, but been hunting the area for over 40 years. Poured concrete walls. No place I'd rather be!

You need some bigger walls, place looks great.

The front of your camp looks familiar to me. Is it visible from the county road?

Off-grid MT. I don’t hunt out of it too often but real nice when I can.

Nice. I’ve always been partial to the secluded feeling of being in an off-grid cabin during the winter.
