We’re back in 2024 with a new hut each month. Join us as we showcase the making process and delve into the history of real backcountry huts.

Field Hut 

Tararua Forest Park, Ōtaki

Aotearoa’s oldest purpose built hut for tramping. Built in 1924 by the pioneering Tararua Tramping Club, largely due to avid tramper and Ōtaki MP Willie Field’s influence.

This Tararua icon is dear to many people, including ourselves, as it often serves at an introduction into tramping the gnarly, muddy tracks of Wellington’s closest ranges.


For the occasion of its 100 year anniversary we have created a double batch of Minis as well as a Bigature bringing the hut to life as it was mid century.

The Minis capture the hut as it is now in it’s full red paint job.

We have limited options for older paint jobs (either Cream & Red, or Green & Red) for an extra surcharge as these required individual masking to paint. 

Pre-orders only, all huts will be sent from 18th November
