In reading over a proposal in here for apartment sharing that included
a list of other tourism keys relating to lodging or accommodation that
included, among other remotely located shelters, the value
wilderness_hut. We have 60 such wilderness cabins and 4 ice huts in
Alaska managed by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources. They are
scattered here and there in the wilds, have wood or oil heat, pit
toilets, bunks for up to 8 people, and are unreachable by the highway
system. Access is by hiking, or by boat or small plane.

I am proposing adding the words "typically not accessible from the
highway system" to the definition for wilderness_hut in the Map
Features; Tourism section. Currently it says: "A remote building with
fireplace intended to provide shelter and sleeping accommodation."
Also I think the term fireplace is too restrictive. I would propose
"usually equipped with a heat source of some type"
The complete definition might read:
"A remote building usually equipped with a heat source of some type
and typically not accessible from the highway system intended to
provide shelter and sleeping accommodation."
I use the words "typically" and "usually" because there are 722
instances of such huts and I do not know if those other places have
road access or not. The ones in Alaska do not.
What do you think?
