Lakeside or river existing cabins in Alaska are stopovers for sled dog rigs and pilots
if bad weather sets in unexpectedly. It is an unwritten rule to replace anything that is used
and to be careful with Yukon stoves with firewood. No locks needed on doors.
Sooner and later the bears visit near my homestead land. Black bears leave if a grizzly shows up.

Same with a cabin on the AZ-NM border in Greenlee County. This is literally
Ben Lilly country in the early 1900s. He hunted there with an 1886 Winchester in 33 WCF. There are old mine and prospectors cabins near Reserve and Mogollon across the line in N.M.
Back about 10 or 15 years ago the USFS found an 1873 Winchester stuck in or near the fork of a tree in NV or WY-MT. Snow storm or lost hunter.
It was placed in their museum.
