WHEW! For a moment there, until I read the article, I thought this story was about that guy who lived for years in Alaska in a cabin he built back in the 60s. Remember that show?

I've seen it and it was a great show I've seen a couple times about Dick Proenneke. Two of the best DVDs you'll ever purchase:

Product Description
"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.

Other videos/books about Dick Proenneke:

One Man's Wilderness * An Alaskan Odyssey

More Readings From One Man's Wilderness: The Journals of Richard L. Proenneke, 1974-1980 (Paperback)

If you or people you know love the outdoors then the inspirational story of Dick Proenneke surviving the Alaskan wilderness is a must see.
