Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin on the shore of Twin Lakes.
The first summer he scouted for the best cabin site, and cut and peeled the logs he would need for his
cabin. Dick Proenneke returned the next summer to finish the cabin where he lived for over 30 years.
Dick filmed his adventures, and Bob Swerer later turned the film into a video so we can all watch this
amazing man build his cabin by hand.

For more than 30 years a man by the name of Dick Proenneke lived alone in the Alaskan Bush. His only
neighbors were the wolves and grizzly bears and his only transportation was his canoe and a good set
of legs. Through the years, Dick kept written journals of daily life at Twin Lakes but would also
document much of his adventure on film with his 16 mms Bolex camera. The Frozen North is Dick's own
filmed account of his life alone in this "One Man's Wilderness", produced from original footage not
included in "Alone in the Wilderness" or "Alaska Silence & Solitude".
