 The Ultimate in Roughing It February 2, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I loved this book. I saw the documentary in PBS and was really amazed and inspired by Dick Proenecke. 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."

Buy the book. Read 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.. January 13, 2007

I saw the movie that accompanies this book on PBS. After seeing the film that Dick Proennecke made himself, I had to have this book. 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.
One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey January 9, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an account of a very ordinary man who accomplished extraordinary feats in the wilds and winter of Alaska. He did it alone, without communication with the outside world, save one friend who checked on him monthly and brought in supplies. It is a true story. The book includes color photos made by the author as he worked.
I loved it! January 5, 2007

I have watched this more times than I can remember. What a great way to destress after a hard day at work. I also recommend the book that goes along with this film. The book is a daily journal that takes you through the four seasons and goes into much more detail than the film. I enjoy them both and have given both as gifts to friends.
