It said we need the stove oil to heat up the cabin but we didn't know what stove oil was. Luckily the coleman camp fuel works also. The stove oil is #1 diesel. We were at Haines the night before and I asked 5+ people and only 2 of them could tell me it is #1 diesel and we should be able to buy it from gas station. Unfortunately the gas stations were already closed and we ends up getting the coleman camp fuel from Outfitter Sporting Goods. I still don't know what is #1 diesel as the gas station sells #2 diesel for car and truck.

The cabin is maintain by camper like us and it is clean. There is a stove inside (where you use it for heating also), so you could bring pan and pot to cook. There are instruction for the stove and visitor log books from previous campers. They provide useful information.

There is a maul to split wood for the fireplaces outside. There is another fireplace near the river so that you could keep yourself warm sitting near the river. There are firewood near the cabin but it is getting less and less. We couldn't find the wooden box for food storage so you might want to use an alternative solution like hanging your food high using a rope or something. There are small streams nearby so if you have water filtering equipment, you don't have to bring that much water.

We didn't see any bear near it when we were there but we saw a porcupine in the morning. The glacier is nice and there is enough time to hike up to the base and stand at the bottom of the glacier, just make sure you pick a safe path to do so.

The bugs doesn't bite us, I guess there isn't enough human around as their food source so they don't even bother trying to bite us.

Like they said in Alaska, make sure you come prepared. There is no cell phone signal and no one will be around at night to help you out.

Other than that, it is a nice experience in wilderness and we really enjoy it
