My Hunting Cabin
It finally came!
The Amish guys delivered our soon to be cabin yesterday afternoon to my grandparents property. It is just the basic structure right now, we are going to finish it this summer and be hunting out of it this fall! I'm so excited, instead of driving out to our spot at 4am, we can just go the night before and sleep there. We are going to leave it pretty basic and rustic...no electricity or water, just the insulated building with a wood burner, plus a few cots, tables and chairs. We are also adding a deck.
Now I just need to put on my boots and gain access to all of the land surrounding our 20 acres....theres a ton a land out there......should be fun!

That's really cool although I think you'll regret not having water of some sorts even if it's only a hand pump for washing up esp if you kill something and need to clean it. We had anold hand pump at the cabin I grew up using...sadly the paper company sold the land and the cabin is gone[>:]

RE: My Hunting Cabin
Thats a nice looking cabin, those amish people do some good work.
I would reconsider about the water like the other guy said even if its just hand pump outside.
I know drilling a well can be costly but everbody needs water.

RE: My Hunting Cabin
Very cool.I used to have a hunting cabin with no water or toilet. We removed the seat webbing and mounted a toilet seat on a lawn chair. Even had a toilet paper roll mounted on it. When we had to go we just grabbed the chair and headed for the woods. Folded it up and put in the corner when done. A 5 gallon bucket under it was the initial plan but this way the mess and smell was outside. You know how us guys can get after a hard night of drinking. We were going to get a porta john and cut a hole in the bottom and did a hole under it but I ended up selling the place.

Nice , When I hunt I dont shower anyway,want to smell like a stinky doe in heat. Couple jugs of water will do. Heat and a fry pan full of grease and meat and potatoes is all you need. just crap in the woods
