“Alone in the Wilderness” is the story of Dick Proenneke.
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.

This is a very interesting and entertaining DVD. The only drawback is that the quality of the picture is poor…you can tell it’s an old film.

This is an amazing story about a man named Dick Proenneke who retired and decided to leave the civilized world and live in the harshes climate of the Alaskan Twin Lakes area. I have read the book and the DVD shows you movies that Dick took himself. Very motivational film. It is fascinating to read and watch the adventures of this man’s life story and wonder if you could do the same. Highly recommend this DVD as a companion to the book. He sure knew how to survive in the cold. The man built a log cabin in about two weeks, it would probably take me two weeks to cut down one tree ! got to see this DVD.

This is defiantly not for everyone, but I consider it to be the most amazing film. This guy is so skilled it’s unbelievable, a real man’s man, but with a very Bob Ross kind of demeanor. He is one of those kinda’ guys that you just want to be.
