My family & I own a unquestionably large piece of land in & around the foothills.
This area has been a hot spot for campers, hunters, hikers, & fishermen for decades. While sometimes these visitors will trespass, or even cause damage to our property, for the most area people are unquestionably respectful, & only come here to experience nature. Come the beginning of winter, I take our sons out with me to check on the safety cabins we have throughout this area of the forest. This is something we do to help out the idiots who come out in the dead of Wintertide & get lost. Without a heater, it is almost impossible to withstand the largest ice storms we have every year; Even if you are inside a cabin, if there is no source of heating in that lake house the tempts will drop below chilly. It’s easy to dismiss these people as dumb because they don’t consider the dangers of coming out here with no form of heating, but instead our family tries to look out for them. In each of the cabins there is a fireplace, with matches & enough firewood to keep someone hot for a full day. I believe there are kinds of space furnaces out there that don’t require electricity, & you can power them with a hand crank. Those space furnaces are pretty expensive, & although we want to help we aren’t rich, so instead we make sure the fireplace is laboring & has enough wood. It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing.
