The strangest thing I have found was a log tree house that an outlaw had been living in for several years in a wilderness area outside of Missoula. It was about 20' up in a cluster of large firs. Underneath it he had a dozen drums filled with oatmeal, flour, rice, ect. The tree house was insulated with tarps and blankets and had two small rooms. He had an exercise bike rigged up with magnets to generate electricity to charge his collection of car batteries. There was a small tv and radio rigged up to an antenna he had way up one of the trees. By the time we found it, he had already fled after some of his friends in town that he had pissed off reported him to the police. The forest service was planning to haul his stuff out and burn the tree house so they told us we could have whatever we wanted. We went back and grabbed a couple of his drums and the wood stove. I don't have any pics of it on this computer but I will try and find them when I get home.
Found a few sheds too

My boys and I spent many a weekend on foot checking for trails through the old growth that we could access with the horses to get into new area's. All this stuff was miles from any usable trails. Came across an old woodpecker stump about 10 foot tall. Found an old insulator nailed about 7 ft up the side of it.

Also funny cuts on an old deadfall. A saw cut then chipped out bottom cut with small notches chopped about every foot of the length of the tree.
I found a dead woman hunting bear one year.
