Patrick Hutchison
THE NATIONAL BESTSELLERA memoir of the author's journey from an office job to restoring a cabin in the Pacific Northwest, based on his wildly popular Outside Magazine piece.Wit’s End isn’t just a state of mind. It’s the name of a gravel road, the address of a run-down off-the-grid cabin, 120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state.To say Hutchison didn’t know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say he’s a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Well, used to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. CABIN is the story of those renovations, but it's also a love story; of a place, of possibilities, and of the process of construction, of seeing what could be instead of what is. It is a book for those who know what it’s like to bite off more than you can chew, or who desperately wish to.

"One of my favorite books of the year. Like a good Bill Bryson book, the author immerses himself in a project to remodel a cabin (shack) and learns more about himself than he bargained for, in a good way. You’ll especially love if your from WA as the whole book takes place in the wilderness of WA state in Index. Just a great, light, fun read. "

"Cabin by Patrick Hutchison 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This has been one of the most relatable books of my life. Not just cause I'm a millennial but because of my childhood love of the woods and an adult need for a reconnection. To find my joy in building has been a parallel it seems to his journey. The trial of manuals and moving parts, vague YouTube videos, trial and error, and "just do it" attitudes. Rediscovering an old joy, an escape and a new skill all in one. "
