Cabin looks to be as snug as a bug in a rug . Interesting thread .
That was nice to see the little guy there, brings back memories. Years ago my 2 boys (10 ish) would go with me up to our camp near North Bay in the winter. (The cabin is a bit more rustic than yours but still nice)
I asked them if they thought we should get a generator and they asked what we needed a generator for. I said “electricity, to run stuff like your games”. They both looked at me & said they did NOT want a generator, they liked it as is. (Nice). Later they wanted to practice throwing knives, so I gave them a Swiss Army and awhile later they retuned and said sorry, they broke the side plate off. I said it didn’t matter, I can glue it back on. I never did glue it but keep it in a box as a great memory of a nice time out.

Personally, I’d love to see more trapping and trapline pictures on cgn. Interesting stuff.

Thanks reb. Keep them coming.
When I was bear hunting last spring I came across a box on a tree and asked my buddy what it was. Being from SW Ontario I’ve seen a few “bat boxes” and it sort of looked like one of those but this was in the middle of no-where; around these parts bat boxes are generally placed in backyards because the bats help with the bugs. My buddy said, “that’s a marten box, don’t put your hand in it”. I didn’t need to be told not to put my hand in it - the prospect of bats, or a marten, or a trap inside was enough. But I had to chuckle knowing he was telling me because you just never know what some dummy from SW Ontario might decide to do. It was empty anyhow
