It is always wonderful hearing stories about men who are survivalists, having gone out for weeks into the unknown. They prove that their tips and hacks work well enough as they camped out in a tent or their bug-out shack.
But, for a survivalist, the true fun and challenge comes in listening to men and women who have actually lived the archetype.
We are talking about those brave souls that have decided to really live hard, moving into the wilderness for a year or more. This shows it isn’t just an ideal but a sincere way of life for them and for our future selves when the SHTF!
On the next page, we have a wonderful film “Alone In the Wilderness” that follows survivalist Dick Proenneke, as he lives in an Alaska wasteland.
His is an amazing chronicle and we get to watch him build a cabin, hunt, and explore its beauty!

Awesome DVD i own it, amazing how he uses all his resources around him.
saw the documentary a few years back,, recorded it,, it would kill most men today…..
Awesome documentary. I would encourage everyone to watch all of it. Our local PBS channel ran it and I was enthralled. This man has so many ingenious methods of survival and makes his owns tools. He stayed there into his eighties, then finally agreed to leave at his family’s request. A must -see!
I made it a point to get the DVD after watching it on pbs. One of the best docs ever made!
I was there a year after he left the Alaskan Bush in 98

Saw it. But River mine in Fairbanks. Has been LIVING in tent for 20 yrs and just moved in a town this past yr
The first survival man…built cabin with bare gand and basic tools
Someday I will live like that…peace and quite
I have the book about his first year building and living in his cabin, it’s a fantastic read! I think it’s called one mans wilderness, but it’s amazing to read how competent this man was at living and thriving alone in the wilderness.
Watch his documentories every time it comes on PBS.
This is awesome.
I have the video! He was from right here in Iowa!
My dad got me his movie for my birthday. Leaves me speechless everytime. The man and situation is mind blowing
Awesome, awesome documentary. Loved every minute of it
I bought the video and book and I really watch him the dvd a couple times each year. So cool
Couldn’t agree more. It is a great book
I’ve watched this show dozens of times on the PBS channel.
I love it!
He was 51 when he did that, most people are so fat and out of shape they cannot even walk a mile.
That was awesome. Watched it a few times.
I own the movie…..very simple humble man….can’t wait to live like that too
What the title of the DVD if I may ask?
“Alone in the Wilderness”
I have the DVD of the documentary, best thing to watch during the summer and autumn
I also watch the entire video on my PBS station. I couldn’t stop watching it. It’s amazing and at 51. The end is the best.
I love this series. I own them all!
I wanna see more ! Gonna have to check this guy out , thanks for the share.
An amazing man. I saw this on PBS many years ago.
Watch it every time PBS airs it!
Surviving in the wild is a bit misleading about$#%&!@*Proeneke. This man thrived in the Alaskan wilderness!
Why am I the only one posting that this video is full of… well.. whatever… oh never mind.
So let’s all 7.5 Billion people living on Earth move to the Alaska wilderness and cut down the trees and build our own little cabin for our own little piece of paradise.

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE STORY ! SHARE THE S !
That’s not the point. If we all did what this guy did, how much wilderness would there be left?
Ralph Krough Don’t worry. The people in the cities are to engrossed with the me me me me syndrome and will die when the$#%&!@*does hit the fan.
