A Harebrained Dream of Building a Cabin in the Woods
b'It sounds like a fantasy: join forces with a good friend to build a sweet little cabin in the woods. And for Bryan Schatz and Patrick Hutchison, that\\u2019s exactly how it felt. They took time away from promising careers to pursue a dream of crafting a base camp for adventures in an idyllic spot in Washington\\u2019s Cascade Range. There was just one problem: they had no idea what they were doing. Their planned summer project turned into a yearlong saga that drained their bank accounts and stressed their relationships with family, friends, and each other. But they stuck it out and ended up not only with a gorgeous cabin but a new perspective on what matters most in life.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThis episode of the Outside podcast is brought to you by\\xa0Whoop, the fitness tracker that gets you training smarter by giving you feedback on every moment of your day.
