Cool Shipping Container Cabins for Hunting, Fishing and Adventure
Wood-burning stove, exposed beam ceiling, loft bunk. It sounds like the perfect home-away-from home, but it isn’t a cabin. It’s the new version of the old-school hunting shack — a shipping container cabin. Today, outdoorsmen and women are converting shipping containers into custom tiny homes for adventure and recreation in the wild.
“Converting a shipping container into a tiny home is perfect for outdoor sports because you have access to off-the grid places ideal for hunting and fishing,” said Nick Papke, Sales Director at Citi-Cargo & Storage in Minneapolis. “But it protects you from the elements like a cabin, and can still be as mobile as a camper.”
Many outdoorsmen and women keep their tiny hunting cabins simple, designing them with a small kitchen, bed and bathroom, in addition to proper insulation against the elements. Others add important features like a built-in gun safe, hoist and wood-burning stove.
Here are a few cool shipping container cabins perfect for people who want more of the great outdoors with the comfort of a cabin with optional mobility.
Cabin Feel … But More Mobile
Kristopher Angstadt, CEO of Hunting Shacks told GrandViewOutdoors.com, “I’ve been a hunter for many, many years. I wanted something that was well-insulated… something that felt like a cabin [and] would fit in well in the woods.” He had this tiny home built with materials meant to last up to 30 years, with pine walls, a full bedroom, a kitchen with a butcher-block counter top, and a living area. And it’s mobile.
