What to Bring
Cabins - All cabins have sleeping platforms or mattresses, some dishes, and a wood stove for heat. You will need to bring your own bedding, light (candles or kerosene lamps), cooking fuel, food, and all other supplies you would need to a camping trip - except the tent. All cabins are also provided with firewood for the wood stoves.
Soap - Since we strive to keep the environment as pristine as possible, we highly recommend Dr. Bonners soap for all bathing, teeth brushing, and dishwashing needs. It is biodegradable and works well in cold water (if bathing in the lake, etc). Disposal of grey water should be away from the springs, trails, and waterways.
Water - Spring water is available a short walk from all cabins. In the winter, snow buildup makes it hard to access the springs, so plan on melting snow water on the wood stoves. Choose a designated location for harvesting clean snow for water production and a separate location for depositing grey water.
Composting Toilet - We have a brand new composting toilet that can be moved to any of the cabins, eliminating any outhouse needs for the pampered client. Therefore, bathroom needs will be available right inside the cabins. Aloet, Tokosha, and Denali cabins also have an outdoors 'chamber pot' type facility available, due to a high water table.
Trash - At Denali Earth, we practice "Leave No Trace" philosophy and try to remain as green as possible. We ask that you carry out all your own trash. Please keep garbage compact and double bagged for the trip out (flying, rafing, dog sledding, etc). Careful packing can reduce garbage. This is also bear country, so practicing standard bear-country camping techniques keeps both bears and humans happy and healthy. You are welcome to bring bear mace, but no firearms are permitted.
Fuel - Bring your own fuel for stoves, snowmobiles, or any other mechanized gear.
Batteries - We have 2 solar panels that charge 12V batteries. We can charge anything with a 12V hookup (car cigarette lighter adapter). If you need to charge a phone, etc, we can charge it for a small fee depending on our energy output (for a couple of months in winter, the sun is too low to the horizen to get much of an energy charge).
Emergencies - We welcome all average outdoor enthusiasts. However, medical treatment is many miles away. Please come prepared to take care (this is a remote wilderness location). You are responsible for any of your medical needs. In the event of a true emergency, we are able to contact emergency medical and rescue services.
