Alone in the Wilderness
Filed under
Survival, Wilderness
Forget Man Vs Wild, when it comes survival nothing can beat Alone in the Wilderness.
Alone in the Wilderness is probably one of the best outdoors /survivalist documentary’s ever made.The movie is a documentary about Richard Louis “Dick” Proenneke, a naturalist and survivalist who lived alone high in the mountains of Alaska at a place called Twin Lakes.
The Video spotlights his adventure and shows him living and surviving in a log cabin that he built by hand.
If you haven’t seen this movie you absolutely have to buy it. Here is a brief clip from Alone in the Wilderness
This Video is only a small part of the movie. I Highly recommend the full movie to anyone who is interested in living off the land.
Check out the DVD
Amazing story.
i love this movie!
theres a Survivalchick out there? I want to meet her so bad……
I’ve read the book and have it in the home library! Have yet to see the movie….
The movie is great, it’s old but the stuff he does is really amazing.
I’ve seen the movie on PBS, and I’ve read the book. Either one is sufficient to reduce me to tears of lost opportunity. Augh.
They play this on public broadcasting all the time. Good movie and the book is awesome.
He really did do a lot with only a little, and all independently too.
Thank you Dick Proenneke for sharing your wonderful wisdom and restoring my faith in human life.
This post inspired me to watch the full movie and buy the book!
Very cool! This is an all time favorite of mine.
This and “My Side of the Mountain” made me want to run away when I was a kid. lol
Hmmm, why the heck am I still working for a living?
Bear Grylls is a moron.Im surprised that people havnt died trying to emulate him.The idea of survival is just that.
This was very interesting to watch, would love to get out and do this myself one day. Would like to see a list of all his gear he took with him. Richard I admire you for getting out there and showing the world how hard this really is to do with so liitle avalable to you. It show that just being in one place does not make it a good place to be at any one time. And it also shows how much the waether and seasons will affect anyone. Highly recommend anyone to watch the movie.
