Default Cabins

Would love to see pics of trappers cabins. Dont need locations so as to keep them away fr the bad guys. I trap and hunt in the porcupine forest w/ my buddy at east central Sask.(also live their) Stuck on a drilling rig near Wabasca and will put up pics of our old, old cabin if and when i get outa here. If this has been done already sorry about wasting your time.

looking at other peoples trapping cabins is never a waste of time.


some pics of my line cabins, probably posted these before.






















going to rebuild another this summer, as some of them are getting pretty rotten. 30 plus years old.

Braggadoe I like the eighth pic you have posted. That would be an awesome peaceful view to enjoy a morning coffee or sunset.

Draft if you do a search for cabins in the trapping section I think there was a thread two years ago that was full of pictures of our cabins.

Default Time moves on.

Trapper with his catch and cabin 30 some years ago.

Now it looks very empty and quiet, can only imagine the wood stove in the corner, and an oil burning lamp on the shelf. The trees around the cabin are grown up, as the old cabin fade away....

I enjoy visiting with him, listening to the stories he has to share from the days gone by. He stayed there for weeks at a time, coming out for gas and supplies. All skinning and drying was done in the cabin, no job to worry about or schedule to follow.

Did things ever change around that cabin. Trees in the background for one way denser. Time sure does change things. Our time here as humans is just a blink of time
