Description

A **National Bestseller**, this compelling memoir traces the author’s transformation from a conventional office worker to a determined restorer of a secluded cabin in the Pacific Northwest—an adventure first shared in his widely acclaimed *Outside Magazine* article.

Wit’s End is more than just a figure of speech; it’s a gravel road leading to a neglected off-the-grid cabin—120 square feet of weathered wood and unrealized potential—tucked deep within the mossy forests of Washington’s Cascade Mountains. On impulse, Patrick Hutchison purchased the dilapidated structure, with little idea of what he was getting himself into. Calling his carpentry skills rudimentary would be generous—but six years of painstaking renovations have a way of teaching a person.

More than a renovation story, **CABIN** is a testament to discovery: of a place, of new skills, and of what’s possible when we throw ourselves into the unknown. It’s a book for anyone who has ever found themselves overwhelmed by ambition—or longs to be.
