  • Real life survival skills

    Kate R. - 4 years 7 months ago

    One Man's Wilderness - an Alaskan classic. Dick Proenneke, after years of living in 'civilized' Alaska, tackles his dream of living alone in the wilderness. This book chronicles his first year, making tools, preparing logs, building a cabin, encountering and filming wildlife. The solitude, especially during that first winter, reveals a man content with his lot in life and his ability to "make-do" in a variety of circumstances. Required reading for: - people who might get stranded alone in nature - people planning a trip to Alaska - people who want to live "off the grid" and want to know what that might entail. Can be followed up with: "Alone in the Wilderness," a PBS documentary about Dick Proenneke, using much of his original footage. "More Readings from One Man's Wilderness" journal entries from later years.

  • Great to know people like Dick exist, and to read of his exploits is wonderful.

    Just good, simple reading which takes one to a different place in time.
