Challenges and opportunities for NZ and its huts: observations and questions
Eight questions about the future of huts in New Zealand.
New Zealand Huts Country Study: introduction
The purpose of this series of web posts is to provide a substantive overview of the world’s largest hut system. Specifically, the aim is to provide — in one place, free of charge — a sense of the origins, purposes, operations, unique features, challenges, people who care about, and cultural meanings of this amazing, collectively owned system of approximately 962 huts. The hope is to create an efficient point of entry to serious study of NZ huts, with pointers for digging deeper.
Shaun Barnett: New Zealand Hut Hero
Profile of a leading photographer, tramper, writer and advocate. By far my best idea when planning a three month study tour of New Zealand huts was to read Shelter from the Storm and contact the authors. All three members of this Dream Team (Rob Brown, Robbie Burton, Geoff Spearpoint) were helpful, but Shaun’s thoughtful and generous email exchanges were spot-on in guiding me on who to talk with and where to go (i.e. what huts to visit!).
