Things You Need In A Mountain Cabin


There is nothing better than a getaway in a remote mountain cabin. If you’ve got a vehicle that can take the bumpy back roads, it’s even better. If you plan your trip right, all you have to do is get to the cabin and you’ll have all of nature to yourself.

It’s a little bit unrealistic to think that you’re going to catch enough fish to survive on for the length of your trip, so you’re going to have to think hard about what food supplies you want to take with you. If you have to drive 50 miles every day to pick up supplies, it can really ruin your trip.

Start with your basic necessities. If you are going to a cabin in the deep woods, don’t expect it to have electricity. Therefore, you will mostly need to take food that doesn’t have to be refrigerated. Take a variety of canned foods, but take other non-perishables like spaghetti, too. You’ll never get tired of pasta, especially if you take a variety of sauces, too.

As for comfort foods, you can get away with many types of cheeses and other semi-perishable foods, but instead of taking bread, take a variety of dry biscuits, instead. If you like to cook, you might even consider taking corn and wheat flour and making tortillas and chapatis.

There won’t be a TV in your remote getaway. If that makes you panic, going without the boob tube for awhile will do you good. Remember that dreadnought acoustic guitar you bought awhile ago and never used? This will be your chance to use it. You can while away the hours practicing and then have singalongs in front of the fire at night.

Don’t forget to take your poulan chainsaw with you, either. You can give it a good workout every day, cutting firewood from deadwood that will be lying around in the woods. You might even want to try your hand at chainsaw sculpture. Just be sure you are very careful and adhere to all rules of chainsaw safety.

Do you have a mountain bike? Be sure to take it with you, along with your bicycle helmet. When you go out riding, wear your helmet. It could save your life. If you don’t have a helmet, buy one. Instead of getting a black helmet, consider getting a high visibility helmet for that extra bit of safety.

If you plan it right in advance, you’ll have a fantastic time in your cabin in the woods. Make a checklist of everything you need, from your survival gear, to your recreational gear and for entertainment. If you’ve got those, you’ve got everything you need.
