Cozy Woodland Cabin Retreat: Handcrafted Off-Grid Micro Shelter with Woodburning Stove, Rustic Kitchen, and Loyal Pup Companion Nestled Beside the Hearth.

This heartwarming scene captures the interior of a meticulously handcrafted tiny cabin deep in the forest, built with a harmonious blend of natural wood textures and thoughtful rustic design. The space features a compact but functional kitchen lined with shelves of jars and essentials, a charming copper kettle on a portable burner, and a beautifully detailed wall clad with cross-section wood slices. A woodburning stove stands ready to radiate warmth through the cozy room, with kindling and hand tools neatly stored nearby, suggesting a self-reliant and intentional lifestyle. At the center of this peaceful woodland sanctuary lies a soft dog bed occupied by a content, curly-haired pup—emphasizing the cabin’s lived-in comfort and companionship. A woven rug and s**ttered wood shavings on the floor speak to active craftsmanship and daily life within this idyllic off-grid haven.

Please leave the fort-building at home – take only photos, leave only footprints!

❗ Parks Canada has found instances of illegal fort construction in the mountain national parks. Under Section 10 of the National Parks General Regulations, removing or rearranging natural objects like logs, rocks, or branches is not allowed.

While these may seem harmless, building illegal forts can:
🔸 Damage sensitive ecosystems and vegetation.
🔸 Create safety hazards for staff, visitors, and wildlife.
🔸 Take up valuable staff time to safely dismantle and restore the area.

Be prepared and know what’s expected of you when you visit the national park.

They wanted a fun space for the grandkids to hang out and sleep. It’s strategically placed in their backyard, nestled against the stunning mountains.

Hey almost got the new backyard shack finished. Have a CDL 18”x60” evaporator going inside. Wondering what others have done for chimney install through roof (single wall or double after the single wall stainless) and head tank inside. Thanks.

Here are a few photos from our survival hike from the past few days, that kicks off the final challenge of our 50 Day Immersion Program. This three day trek marks the beginning of an eight day gauntlet that tests everything our students have learned.

We don’t give them a trail map with a clear path. They start the hike with a blank map and a set of coordinates. Their first task is to plot the points and figure out where the hell we’re going. They don’t get much help from me. I don’t lead. Their accuracy determines whether we get to camp or spend extra hours wandering the mountains. This alone is a test of leadership, communication, and trust.

They’re also given a short list of items they’re allowed to scavenge along the way. Survival isn’t about showing up with everything you need. It’s about using your surroundings. It’s about finding use in the discarded and overlooked. Whether it’s cordage on the trail or dry grass to use later, they’ve got to pay attention and think ahead.

We cover about 15 miles of rugged terrain. It’s not a death march but it’s not easy either. Packs are heavy. Elevation is real. Nights are cold. We sleep under the stars without tents or tarps. No sleeping bags. Just the warmth of a fire and the clothes on their backs. They have emergency gear if it really comes down to it, but they’re not allowed to use it unless they absolutely need it.

This isn’t just physical. It’s mental. It’s emotional. Every mile we hike they know I’m going to strip away the rest of their gear at the end and leave them with nothing but a knife and their brains for the next five days. That weight sits in the back of their minds the entire time.

And yet in the middle of all that pressure we still laugh. We crack jokes. We have powerful conversations. We talk about life and purpose and pain and strength. We watch hawks circle overhead and find bear s**t on the trail. We see mountain lion claw marks on trees and remind ourselves this land isn’t tame. This isn’t a guided tour through a city park. This is the real thing.

They’re learning how to be human again. How to rely on instinct and each other. How to make decisions when the stakes feel high.

And it all starts with a hike into the unknown.
