Huts are used by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepherd shepherds] when moving livestock between [[seasonal]] grazing areas such as [[mountain]]ous and lowland pastures (transhumance). Some displaced [[populations]] of people use huts throughout the world during a diaspora. For example; temporary collectors in the [[wilderness]] [[agricultural]] workers at plantations in the Amazon jungle. Huts have been built for [[purposes]] such as storage, workshops, and [[teaching]].

The term has also been [[adopted]] by climbers and backpackers to refer to a more solid and permanent [[structure]] offering refuge. These vary from simple [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bothy bothies] - which are little more than very basic [[shelters]]; to [[mountain]] huts which are far more luxurious and can even include facilities such as restaurants.
