Features:(13 x 7) Fully insulated and carpeted. Rafter framing-oak on 24" centers, sidewall framing-rough cut pine ($1-board at local mill) 16" centers, sleeper loft with skylights (2), RV items installed; sink(adding 12v water pump yet), 2-burner top stove with chrome cover, heater (propane not sure of btu's, woodstove-not installed, propane may be sufficient, 4" fiberglass batts in wall, foam sheets in ceiling, 12v flourescent light (installed), other 12 v applications to be added-currently using one 12 volt high amp Wal-mart acquired battery, has held up great since July-03. One sliding window 8" x 8" and one vertical crank out from trailer, to narrow to squeeze in...large doors with treated steel hasp, with garage door seal installed between them.
Inside I house traps, axe and other bug out items, sometimes the generator....hence the title Trapper Cabin.
State land and great hunting 4 miles away.
Transition from gray stained plywood to half inch cedar lap siding.
One trail to cabin, taken in summer, perhaps you can see why I chose gray to start....you can't see this cabin in the woods when it was gray ( the right hand door is open and you can see it better)..but I got the cedar siding free :) and could not bring myself to paint cedar gray :(
Cabin capable of housing either a full-size snowmobile or a 4-wheeler, trees cut for 16' addition on south side (see pic), that will make this a 13 x 23 and I will then be able to store wood for the house project :)
South side has a window that slides open as shooting hole for deer lane, no cedar as this wall will come out with the addition.
labeled with various items to note
East side, notice free packing foam (barrier/insulation) use.
Side and front (north side) stained and finished this fall (Ace natural cedar stain).
Future plans: water system, rainwater to filter to 12v pump...RV style, additional 12v lighting (again RV style). Hook up woodstove (piping), has propane heater from a pop-up already with a sink and two-burner stove. With insulation, propane may be adequate... Adding a 16 x 7 section on south side.
cleaning day early November
parking spot for Bug Out bike
