Firewood
Firewood is supplied at this hut, but it can run out. If there is no firewood, gather dead wood from surrounding forests. Do not fell or break branches off live trees.
Only use as much wood as is needed to keep the hut warm, to ensure there is enough for the next visitors.
Carry warm clothing and a good sleeping bag at all times of year.
