BearyManilowe Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I've walked into a handful of cabins in the Canadian wilderness at Mystery Lake and I've noticed that very few have fire places. I find it hard to believe that actual cabins in the frozen Tundra would only rely on microwaves, ovens (which we can't light) and insulation to keep you warm in -27 degree weather. I get that when we get in, we inherently warm up and it prevents freezing but I'd like to see some fireplaces in the smaller cabins. I've found several cabins that I'd like to stay in for a day or two, but I noticed that I have to cook my meat outside. It just seems strange that cabins wouldn't have a way of heating.

Gallowsknight Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 From a meta-pov it's probably to make it more challenging.I'd think in-game perhaps because mystery lake is more popular during the summer months. That time they'd have outside fires and sleep in the cabins reasonably comfortably. That doesn't explain the large number of ice fishing huts. But perhaps during winter people stay mostly at the camp office or drive back to a town at night.Edit: Some building have evidence of gas heating. Like the logging buildings.

BearyManilowe Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 That's true. I just find myself wandering into some of the smaller cabins, and I see an oven, a refrigerator/freezer, and a flat screen TV, but no fireplace? I just always shake my head. The larger cabins usually within walking distance have fireplaces though, so maybe the fireplaces are in the centralized hub cabins. It just feels strange to me that the ice fishing huts have fireplaces, but not the buildings in which the people sleep.Perhaps it's gas heating like you said, and it's more passive. I'm not sure, figured I'd bring it up for discussion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majales Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 These are summer cabins, so there isn't need for a heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovehandel Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I agree the cabins should have some type of heater. I only use my cottage (just south of Timmins Ont) in the summer and I would not consider being without heat in spring or late fall.Having said that, they spoil you in the fish huts with the pot belly stoves. Most I have seen have drip heaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
