Like the idea of getting out into the wild but don't know where to start? Packed with tips and advice from the author and leading survivalists, this approachable introductory guide takes you on a step-by-step journey through the basics of what you need to go exploring. There aren't many of us who crave the extreme tests of endurance that would mean having to truly survive in the wild. However, the sense of adventure that comes with setting out into the unknown, be that a camping trip, a hike or even a night camping in a field, can set the heart racing. Can I build a shelter? Can I get a fire started? Even these relatively small challenges can seem daunting when stepping out of the 21st-century comfort zone. But a little survivalist know-how can go a long way to making the difference between success and failure on even the shortest trip. That is what this book provides. It includes no-nonsense instructions on most things that you might want to know (although heaven forbid you actually have to catch a squirrel for dinner). You'll find a wealth of practical advice on all things outdoors: where to go, what to expect and the equipment that you'll need, as well as historic and modern techniques for fire lighting, shelter building, hunting and foraging. Most importantly, it overflows with reasons to get outside and enjoy the natural world.

This is the story of how he created the ultimate hideaway, inspired by cabin-building practices around the world. Throughout history, people around the world have built cabins as homes, naturewatching huts and even follies. In recent times, many have been drawn to cabinbuilding by a yearning to connect with nature and spend time in the wilderness.

In this book, Will Jones explores the history and romance of cabin building and delves into the architectural styles, vernacular idiosyncrasies and tools and techniques of historical and modern builders. Weaving the personal story of his cabin build with illustrated practical know-how on everything from deciding on site and orientation, to foundations and interior design, Jones’s essential book is full of inspirational ideas. The urge to escape the city and live in nature has never been stronger. Part story, part history and part practical guide, this is the ultimate read for anyone dreaming of building a cabin of their own.
