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!

This movie is proof that no matter your age, you can change your life.
Awesome.

Albert Patty Actually more like 37 billion acres of land. That’s total land mass. That doesn’t mean all that land is habitable or arable.
He grew up in my area, his family had an estate auction a few years ago, I wish I would’ve went to it and bought some things of his.
Love this I’ve watched it 3 times on PBS
If I remember correctly he brought in modest provisions hand tools and only cheated a bit on the roof w tar paper
Solitude is different, most humans get cabin fever rather quickly, social interaction is a necessity for 99% of our society.staying 30 years in a forbearing climate -50 below for weeks, minimal interaction with his brother and the restocker plane pilot.
A great video of him Alone in the wilderness.
