Camel cricket
by: Moni

Karl
Your photo is of a camel cricket also sometimes called cave crickets, probably the greenhouse camel cricket but not sure without checking it first-hand.
They are light tan to dark brown in color...yours may have been near something more yellow or it could be what it was feeding on.
These are found in cool moist dark places such as piles of logs or boards in basements. They feed on leaf debris or if in a house on paper products or fabric.
They can be a nuisance in basements, but if your cabin is not too moist then it should not be problem.
