Outhouse
The Outhouse is located just NE of the hut.
Drinking Water
There are seasonal ponds E and W of the hut: please only get drinking water from the pond that is on the west side, since the outhouse is on the east side. The west pond also tends to hold its water later into the year because of a large snow drift above it. In heavy snow years, this snow drift can cover the pond completely well into late summer or fall. In winter please keep the snow on the west side clean for drinking water and dispose of grey water to the east side of the hut towards the outhouse. This will keep the drinking water supply as clean as possible for all guests year round.Note in early October 2011 the west pond was still frozen and had ~ 2m of snow atop the ice. But you can always find snow to melt for water.
Wood Stove
There is a wood stove provided, for winter use only. Please be conservative, as the supply must last the winter. In the summer, spring and fall, the Coleman lantern and cooking stoves provide more than enough heat, as the entire hut is insulated with R20 fiberglass. Firewood is stacked in the wood shed outside. Don't cut down any live trees for firewood; they are very slow growing and don't burn well either. Ashes from the stove go in the metal paint can with no label.
In high snow years the woodshed can be hard to find as it gets buried in a massive snow wall. Starting from the mid point between the two windows on your right as you enter the hut, take the perpendicular for ~4.5m (you can use your probe to measure). This should get you to the closest corner of the shed. Now use your probe to probe for the hut - try probing a bit farther than that so that you don't miss it. |
