We sent love letters to the sea

Have you ever just wanted to take off into the woods for a simpler life? Maybe you built forts in the woods as a kid, and you want to get back to that innocence, before your friends got married and you had to pay taxes?  

Tacoma author Patrick Hutchison felt that. So, he bought a $7,500 cabin as a young man with little to no knowledge about how to restore it — the how was unimportant, honestly — and he documented his experience in his memoir, Cabin: Off the Grid Adventures with a Clueless Craftsman.

The KUOW Book Club read Patrick’s memoir in July. KUOW’s Katie Campbell sat down with him on July 16 in front of a live audience at the Seattle Central Library to talk about just how clueless he once was, and everything he learned as he restored his own piece of the world.
