Very inspiring. Roy Underhill approves!

If you want to see something even more inspriring, take a look at what Dick Proenneke did in Alaska - alone - over 40 years ago:

He not only build his house out of all native materials, but he filmed and photographed himself doing it, so these movies could be made. And he had to take time to feed himself and prepare for winter too.

Dick Proenneke was an amazing man. Had his movie on VHS, like to find a new CD copy.

Just watched it. Pretty amazing. I doubt I could do it. I'd go stir crazy.

Proenneke was a legend. No equal.
