Summary: Great gift for the person who has everything
Comment: I bought the DVD's as a gift for a friend who is hard to buy for. He loved them and has shared them with several other people. This makes a great gift for people who love Alaska or for people who love the outdoors. I could watch them over and over.
Customer Rating:
Summary: excellent entertainment for all ages
Comment: Have you seen it on PBS yet?
What a neat story of a 50 year old who pretty much leaves society and makes a life for himself in Alaska, living in peace and taking in the extreme seasonal changes that only Alaska can provide, building a cabin with his own hands using only simple hand tools. At 39 I have been inspired a number off times to get off my soft side and get somthing done.
Great price for a product that will give the family entertainment unlike anything else available today. This is "REAL" reality programming.
We pop this in and revisit it every few months or so.

Summary: Amazing story -- a must see for anyone interested in the outdoors
Comment: Dick Proenecke lived alone for 20+ years in the Alaskan wilderness. This is his story, beginning with movies of him building his log cabin by hand, alone, with no help! It is amazing. If you like the outdoors and/or if you like to build things you must see this! His story is so incredible that you would not believe it if it were not captured on film and in his hand-written journals. Proenecke loved nature and his story includes detailed descriptions of the weather, wildlife and his survival methods. He actually lived quite well, considering he had NO modern conveniences of any kind. He even constructed many of his own tools.

Summary: 5 Stars is Not Enough
Comment: Mr Pronnecke died in 2003 at the age of 87 and mankind and Alaska lost a great, gentle man. His 30 plus years of living in isolation at Twin Lakes was a quest rivaling no other, and we should all read the pages of his book One Man's Wilderness and, even then we could not begin to appreciate what he went through. He was a master carpenter of the first order, a very good photographer and a person who loved the great outdoors and gave thanks each and every day of his life to the Man Upstairs who made it all possible.

Summary: The Answer.
Comment: This DVD follows the daily life of Dick Proeneke as he builds his log cabin in the Alaska Bush. Dick takes his time and does an amazing job on the cabin and is a master craftsman in working with wood,making spoons ,door joints, window frames, etc. He lives delibertly in the moment and enjoys life and his manual labor. He is a gentle man who loves nature and is very spiritual without being religeous, to me he is the essence of Zen ,but he probably has no idea what Zen is. Something in this short little series of clips on this DVD,is almost like medicine. Something that we desparately need in this society of fame chasers,greedy sychophants,capitalist consumers, a quiet little message ,powerful and direct. Dick Proeneke got one up on us...
