I have even thought about the same thing....BUT....BUGS!
so I was thinking it would be nice inside the outhouse.
I think you would be happier on those rainny snowy
mornings to have dry paper in the house...lol! I'll try add a pic
of my out house... took a couple of evenings in my back yard
and just tacked it together. I took it apart and hauled it flat
to deercamp. Set it on a 4x4 frame, in a couple of hours we
had a little slice of heaven in the big woods....

thats 5 4x8sheats of 7/16osb, 16-1x2's, 4-2x4's8'
and 3-4x4's for the base....

I think I'd want a "Little Shack Out Back" in those cold Wisconsin woods Cabelas sells a Fire Service type grate, not cheap but looks very well built. Might want too cement ANY nice firegrate in, seems like thieves will steal just about anything for scrap nowadays (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

Dont forget the pieces of broken para cord and rope in the trees! I suppose that might happen in time with the deer success

I hadn't thought of that. Embarrassed

Maybe I will go with the BWCA from the 80's. I could skip most of the things you mentioned but I would still have to peel all the birch bark off the trees around the shack Roll Eyes

Would the backyard then have 75 people per day driving /walking past too? Would you have to go 200 yards into the woods to find firewood? Will he cut his trees down to 3 foot stumps and erode the root systems? Maybe scatter little peices of colored plastic food wrappers all over? May as well go as authentic BWCA as possible. Wink

Nah, just own some land in Wisconsin and was putting a deer shack on it. Though I might make it feel a little more like home (BWCA).

Thanks, I will give her a call. Appreciate the tip, Gijikiki Puckster wrote on Jul 8^th, 2009 at 1:03am: The Superior National Forest administers the BWCA. Their headquarters is in Duluth. Phone: 218-626-4300. Ask for engineering or recreation. If Barb Soderberg is still working, ask for her. She's the public service team leader. prouboy
