I remember as a little kid my dad cleaning out the tack room and found a box of old wet dynamite.
thankfully the local quarry made arrangements with him to demo it for us.

I'll bet you could methodically work your way through that to make it safe, usable, and still be very rustic. If I lived a little closer, I'd be happy to come through and help you assess it and work out a plan.
