Customer Reviews

A must, for the would-be Backcountry pioneer.
OK, the title is a bit of a misnomer, it is so much more. For anyone thinking seriously about having a retreat tucked from the hussle and bussle of the rat race, then this book is for you. Prior to reading this book I would of thought that you build a cabin and move in, not so. The author has a wealth of knowledge that covers all the aspects that you'll need to have that dream cabin in the woods. From the type of cabin that you might want, to how to heat the cabin efficiently. Every idea and thought are clear and easy to understand, there is no over complicated technical information that the reader will not comprehend. The book also lists a great deal of organisations out there that can help you with all aspects of living in a Backcountry getaway, use them. This is also not a book adverising certain products. All the information is stated objectivly. The author informs the reader what he used and why he used a certain product, whether it be a outside toilet or a propane gas lamp. What you get from the book is the feeling that the author loves heading for Cross Creek Hollow at the weekend, to spend quality time with his family. Enjoy.
Kind Regards
