The Ultimate in Roughing It
I saw the documentary in PBS and was really amazed and inspired by Dick Proenecke. I loved this book. There's a part of me that would love to do what he did, but a part of me that couldn't. I'd get too lonely. In the book, you can see how he loves and enjoys nature, as well as his visits from the bush pilot. The book is a great addition to seeing the movie. It's a very different story about "nature. "

An amazing story about an amazing adventure
Read the book. Buy the book. Then see if you don't want to build your own cabin someplace. I think seeing the special on PBS really made the story special, but still, Dick Proenecke's ingenuity, resourcefulness and energy is hard to surpass. To think he lived for 30 years in that little cabin in the wilderness. . .
Some great photos in the book too. If you buy the book, please look for the DVD somewhere. You will enjoy the entire story that much more.

Best outdoor novel ever..
After seeing the film that Dick Proennecke made himself, I had to have this book. I saw the movie that accompanies this book on PBS. Dick has lived out the dream of living in the untamed wilderness of Alaska. The book is a collection of his journal entries that are wonderfully written.

This is a must-read for any person who has ever dreamed of the wilderness.
