Alone in the Wilderness

If you've ever thought about what it might be like to build your own little cabin in the woods, you might want to check out this book and watch the video:

Alone in the Wilderness the story of Dick Proenneke.

We picked them up at our local library. The video is sort of a self-made documentary in which the author builds his cabin on a lake in a remote location in Alaska. It's fascinating from a wood-working and sort of precision wilderness cabin construction standpoint.

After building his cabin one summer, Dick Proenneke lived alone it for the next 30 years.
