Information

Subtitled Living Off-Grid with the Highland Hutter, Peter MacQueen’s wonderful book guides readers on how to build their own cosy hut in the wilds, disconnecting from whirlwind lifestyles as well as public utilities. Whether in the country or by the sea or near to home, huts are a glimpse into nature, encouraging us to slow down and enjoy the details of life’s little things and create time for self-care, good health and a sustainable way of living. With cover-to-cover guidance on everything from fabrication to food for free, Peter turns the dream of a rural hideaway into a practical reality.
