  2. That is an old fire lookout station used by the Forest Service. Most are no longer in use and I understand some have been sold. They use to be all over the mountains in Western United States.

      Two are near me, Calpine and Babbitt Peak.
      Two are near CW, Girard Ridge and Hirz Mountain.

    1. Near me was one with ots own landong strip. Just less than 900' but doable because it was on a slope.

    1. Absolutely. Fire lookouts were occupied only during fire season.

  6. Hang out yeah live I think not… talk about exposure. But like Anom said the radio reception should be outstanding.

  10. The bed is right next to the stove for a reason.

  11. That stove doesn’t look large enough to hold a banked up fire all night….have to wake up to stoke it two or three times during those 12-14 hour nights…

    Spent a winter in a converted shed in eastern Oregon that only had a wood burning cast iron cook stove that couldn’t hold a fire much past 4-5 hours .

    Had running water inside from 2” pipe in the creek necked down to 1” coming inside…had to leave it dripping all the time.

    Each morning I had to make a new fire and then bust up the 3-4 inch stalagmite in the bottom of the sink.

    Ahh, the joys of heating with wood. I've got a big Fisher Grandma Bear that needs to get tended to at least once a night. But I don't mind. It's completely organic and the fact that you're willing to tend the stove late at night just lets the Mrs. know how much you love her. Because sure as shootin', she ain't gonna get up and do it.

  13. I am sure he means organic as plain/simple. No fans .thermostats, woodpellet feed hoppers or catalytic device.
