Story
Wit’s End isn’t just a state of mind. It’s the name of a gravel road, the address of a rundown, 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.

Living with ADHD is about so much more than struggling to pay attention from time to time. The way in which your brain is wired internally is different, meaning you will always struggle with things so many others out there take for granted. But rather than let this get the measure of you, turn it into the making of you!

A whole new type of freedom
Chris Harer gives us a glimpse into a whole new type of freedom–the type of freedom that can be gained through locking in a ton of off the grid systems. The kind of autonomy here is a huge reward for some clever planning and putting in the time to develop a little know-how. Some key takeaways here are the systematic methods you can put in place to become self-sufficient, even in a totally rural setting. If you’re like us and want to get out of big city living and spend your days in more natural locations while freeing yourself of burdensome utilities hanging over your head, then I’d definitely recommend checking out Harer’s work. There are some pretty interesting self-sustainable hacks you might want to try, not to mention some clever money-saving tactics for the more budget-conscious among us.
