  • I was lucky enough to hear about this secret cabin from Way of the Roads, you can check out their Channel here: @wayoftheroads
    It took a total of 8 hours of driving, much of it on remote mountain logging roads, then a final hike out to the most remote secret cabin I've ever seen. It was a cozy night with a wood stove, waves crashing on the beach and some delicious food.

    WOW, that was a blast from the past. My husband was one of three who lived in Holberg and built that shack approximately 25 years ago. They hauled some of the materials in, but by the beach, not the pathway through the forest. All of the wood used was washed up. The shakes were cut by my husband. It's very weathered now and looked pretty awesome when it was new. If you'd like more information, we'd love to tell you the story. You may already know it. I didn't read all 2783 comments.

      Wow, what purpose was the cabin originally built for? Personally, i'd absolutely love to hear the whole story of this place, as i am now absolutely amazed by it. Even though i live in a rather rural part of Germany, i don't think that cabin would've lasted nearly this long in our region, because 1. some bureaucrat would declare it as illegal and 2. even in the countryside, almost everything as remote and unsupervised as this gets vandalized nowadays if it isn't fenced off :(

      This is something Ive done from time to time in various places since I was a teenager. I know a couple are still standing and get used a lot others had been torn down by authorities or burned down by people. Ive shown my kids a couple and have stayed in one multiple times throughout the years. My dad did the same thing Ive been to some of the sites one was collapsed another has been rebuilt by various people throughout the years.

I haven’t been able to walk since about mid October, but your videos makes it feel like I am right there with you. I can’t tell you how much better my days get after watching your videos.

    The idea of a communal cabin where people only add things and keep it in working condition is really cool, not worrying about theft is amazing, those Bushnell's aren't cheap. I also love the idea of the log book, each new user can see what came before them and leave their own story. The table bed is just fantastic....what a great place for an overnighter. Great episode.

    But watching this video helped me a lot, especially the part about saying your wife is with you in spirit - which is something the family and I believe with our dog. Even my father was like "Oh you're watching Steve?" in a way that sounded like approval. I believe your videos help him out as well. So, as a whole family, we thank you, Steve.

    This episode brought back a lot of fond memories of primitive camping along the Applachian Trail. The Potomac Trail Club in Virginia manages a string of 'cabins' along the trail in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania that had the guest books, an iron stove, outhouse and spring water. Of course, these were not as primitive as this one, each one looked after by a volunteer. My favorites were the log bunk houses that housed the workers who built the parkway that ran through Shenandoah National Park. In addition to the woodstove in each cabin, there was a covered porch with a cooking fireplace, complete with iron cooking cranes.
    The rules were simple: No graffiti, write something about your stay in the guest log, don't leave any trash, and replenish the firewood you used. I always bought something to add to the cabin kitchen supplies, usually a set of new dish cloths and towels, and toilet paper for the privy. (The TP was kept in coffee tins to keep it away from the mice.) I just loved it!

      anxiety is a debilitating disorder. I hope you can overcome the limitations it imposes on you. learn to meditate and use it to ignore the silly voice in your head when you step outside in nature. easier said than done perhaps, but there are ways of re-establishing the trust of your instincts, your own judgement and your knowledge about the world. You can do it... one trip at a time. You can do it... anyone can. Steve is proof that the most arduous missions will most likely work out just fine if you apply your sense of environmental and self awareness. Good luck.

    Loved this one Steve!! 😊The cabin reminded me of the Bothies that we have in the UK, they are mostly just basic shelter's available for anyone to use free of charge. There's also a Bothy Code which to be honest you adhered to by cleaning when you left and replenished the firewood The ones in the UK are Maintained by the Mountain Bothy Association who are volunteers and do it for free. There's also normally a Bothy Book for visitors which I was hoping that there would be one there. "Leave no Trace"

    Steve, I love what you do. Specifically because you live probably hundreds or thousands of miles away from me and you go to places that I will probably never go. And you do stuff that I can’t do. When I was in my teens on into my 20s, I lived in the mountains in northern California, and got to go all kinds of deep mountainous areas, both in the summertime, and in the winter, after high school, in the summertime, I was on a fire crew. In the winners, I worked at a ski resort on Donner Summit not too many miles from Lake Tahoe.
    One thing that I know of was all over the mountains there in Tahoe, national Forest there are buildings, structures, or houses that are built out in the middle of nowhere and people can go and stay at them, year-round. And this building that you’re at reminds me of some of those buildings. So thank you Steve for all that you do, going on adventures so that your viewers can be on those adventures with you. Thank you bro.
