Alone in the wilderness

Quote:

To live in a pristine land unchanged by man...
to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed...
to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin...
to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available...
to be not at odds with the world, but content with one's own thoughts and company...
Thousands have had such dreams, but Dick Proenneke lived them. He found a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become part of the country. This video "Alone in the Wilderness" is a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, and the constant chain of nature's events that kept him company.

What a fella, goes out into the Alaskan wild at 51 in 1968, makes a great cabin and all kinds things from wood. And becomes like a nature documentary film and care taker of the land. Lived alone out there from '68 to '99, died 2003.

RIP.
