He DIED Here l A Tragic Look Inside Gerry's Abandoned Cabin In The Woods! EVERYTHING LEFT BEHIND

Welcome to Gerry's home, a small secluded log cabin in the middle of nowhere. Gerry lived here alone after being kicked out by his family for his drinking problem. They thought that being secluded would give him time to think and hopefully beat his addiction. He spent his time tinkering with his snowmobiles, reading from his collection of novels, and fishing. His Cabin sits on a gorgeous piece of property with two outbuildings and a pool. The property proved challenging to maintain, and Gerry found himself unable to upkeep it while dealing with his addiction and worsening health. The roof of the cabin started to fail and the attempt to tarp the roof was mostly unsuccessful. His outbuildings started to crumble under the harsh weather as well. Unable to cope and with his mental state worsening, Gerry unfortunately took his own life sometime in 2018. Since then his property has sat. Many of his possessions remain in the home to this day. It's unclear what will happen to his cabin but one thing is clear. If you are struggling with your mental health, addiction, or any other reason that making you think about taking your life seek help, you are worth it.

Young people also have to realize that rual farm / houses like this were actually out in the middle of nowhere back then. It was common for people to just dump stuff and collect stuff over decades on their properties. They didn't have regular garbage pick up or recycling coming around. If you could burn it you would or just dump it in a pile and let it rot on one's property. I see many old abandoned homes like this. I actually have an old 1920s refrigerator and old bottles and gas cans on my property. Makes it fun to dig and get out your metal detectors. A different time from now indeed 😂

[@janeblake5083]

These old farms have a long history, and one thing you might find interesting - so much of these things are considered "trash" to most, but treasures to others! Some of the medicine bottles sell at flea markets for $12 -$15. Unbelievable, right?

[@jennfaire8726]

Young people need to realize? What.

[@sandrapayne9833]

Are you going to show inside of the or just show all that junk

[@derekpam7149]

As a fellow older Canadian I can assure you many people live in cabins to have peace and quiet. Thankfully in Canada we have so much land we can. Not always alcoholics not forced by families but usually someone with cptsd will live like this till death. I myself have cptsd and lived no problem in a cabin for over 10 yrs it is amazing. And yes most collect so they can reuse parts as you do not have delivery for things out in the country lol So sad young Canadians have no clue

[@susanmiller4159]

Had similar thoughts. This is a typical type house in Alaska. They use what they can find and plywood walls, that semi finished look serves their purposes. I think this man (or someone before him) had a full and even happy life. The pool, the guesthouse, the outbuildings. All pretty decent in their time.

[@natewrites7803]

I get the vibe that this was a man's place of solitude, tinkering on old rigs and reading before the fire. Until some jerks came thru and ransacked it, throwing his books about and outside, my guess. The kitchen was once cute with items he used often pegged on the walls. The 2 lone wine glasses and 2 silver chalices make me think he had a loved one lost. That he read a lot says he probably liked his being alone. Had a sense of humor and was a gearhead, hence the auto part nailed on the wall but whimsical mirrors nailed below show another side. Nevertheless, we shall never know the total picture. May he rest easy now.

[@kathy2214]

@natewrites7803, I thought the same thing about the 2 wine glasses and Chalices. This was a very sad explore. I hope this person is at peace now.

[@mimzyc9949]

Interesting find. Beautiful property. The backstory is sad. I hope he found peace in the end.

Beautiful location! Left me feeling sad for Gary who missed so much because of the addictions.

Hopefully he is at rest n now released from his pain mental jail n spiritual traps 🙏 emotional journey..... sad some of our humanity get this lost n don't know how to get back from the darkness 💔 being alone probably also didn't help ....depression is way to common these days i do hope we stand n fight forward to change the future generation n people won't stop caring! May he RIP ! 🙏

[@pfkat9749]

So sad a life gone bad like that. Alcohol is evil with what it can do to the body and mind. My son almost went that root but he sobered up and has been dry for 8 years now. So glad he saw the light.Too bad this person wasn't able to.

[@johntilson2535]

Someone was supporting 'Gary', the family I suppose. So, reading the comments, most pitying or sad, I beg to differ. Gary got to do what he wanted, when he wanted in a beautiful place in the woods. And when he was done, he checked out. Why does suicide have to be 100% negative? Sure, some folks decide to kill themselves before exploring any alternative or do it 'far too early'. Some have just had enough of this life and choose to go. On their own terms. Like Gary who, at long last, has the peaceful release he desired in the end.

[@PopCultureFan_]

I agree with everything you said, purhaps he liked being in the middle of nowhere, im not a fan of people either lol, i like my peace and quiet and i dont mind at all being a recluse. Hmm, the guy was an alhoholic tho, and ive had my fair share of them, the ones i know are middle aged and just get nasty when drunk, they dont realize that they alienate themselves, and this guys family didnt want anything to do with him cuz i guess he sounded like one of them. Suicide is sad tho, he obviously hurt a lot but at the same time just pushed his family away.

[@Poppagee69]

I don't think he was what they say , i have lived in the wilderness like that and it is very peacfull yet evry day has resposibilities city people have no idea and with the skidoos and other things , he would have been very busy and I am sure he had a dog !@@PopCultureFan_

It could have been the family hunting, vacation cabin. Unfinished, it was likely not meant to be a permanent residence. Poor guy, I can't imagine the lonely life he led, RIP.

[@cottoncandyog6106]

That's so sad that someone who is family and, that's supose to love you would desert you in your time of need..Love ❤

[@terri5624]

Yep it is. My family abandoned me in my darkest time. Every single one of them. Glad I found recovery. It was a very sad time. Support of total strangers and not one loved-one. What a mind duck for sure. I can relate with what Gerry was going through. Today, living sober, is very different for me, but unfortunately, Gerry did not come back from it. Most do not come back. Facts.

Hi Noah, A dwelling may deteriorate when its inhabitant is incapable of leading a customary lifestyle due to medical complications and chronic alcohol consumption.

[@ToiletTxtr]

I didn't see a whole lot of evidence of alcohol abuse. Usually there's empties all over the place on in piles.

[@rsuriyop]

Sounds to me like that guy needed to be put into a drug rehab program to keep his mind clear and away from addiction, not tossed into seclusion.

[@terri5624]

Ideally, yes. But he had to come to that conclusion himself. Sadly he did not. Deadly disease for sure.

The Family obviously owned this Property..... perhaps their sadness will Not allow them to deal with this place yet. Mourning can last a long time 😢

it looks like the remains of a camp, with just a few cabins left. It makes me think of a fishing camp.

[@cathyreardon8979]

[@retrobear9367]

For the most part. That cabin looks like it could be saved. The roof and some of the walls would need replaced of course.

[@karinmcdougall7066]

those weren't cheques sitting on the wood stove, they were hand written receipts given to him for something he bought. I'd almost bet he was making some extra money collecting scrap to go to the scrap yard. He definitely wasn't well judging by all the Ensure bottles and cartons. The "axe" is a splitting maul for splitting firewood. Odd place to have it but make a pretty good door stop!

What a sad story but WOW you do a fabulous job taking us through it. I can't say you missed anything!! So awesome. And yes, at the end of the day, that's all our lives end up as. Someone to clean up after we're gone to our eternal home, or not at all, in this case. His life seems to have ended in a very lonely and isolated state. That's what happens when you are an alcoholic. Isolation is the end result. Who knows, he may have lost a marriage, kids, employment as a result of his drinking. Just speculation, but that's usually what happens to an alcoholic. They call it "the alcohol remover" - takes everything from you. I'm speaking from experience, but i am sober today, but for the Grace of God ❤ 🙏. Rest in Peace Gerry! 🙏 ❤No more suffering buddy.

Noah go to explorer but a very sad explorer at the same time. Living a hermit lifestyle is rough you have no one to talk to or to help you with repairs. Looks like towards the end there the house was starting in all the outbuildings were starting to go probably didn't have the money or was getting too old to be climbing on roofs so we just let it go. He knew the end was near because as soon as that house fell apart he had no place just left so that's why he probably offed himself. What's with the dog barking you say you're out in the middle of nowhere you shouldn't hear a dog barking in the middle of nowhere there must be another house someplace around there.
