CABIN

Off the Grid Adventures with a Clueless Craftsman

By: Patrick Hutchison
Narrated by: Patrick Hutchison
Length: 8 hours 31 minutes

What both men share is their passionate love of nature and for experiences that can only be found away from a busy urban life. This book is about taking risks, learning, and savoring. I loved it.
