Dick was a hero for all those who long for peace in the wilderness. He was really the first vlogger. Dick's final request was that the park rangers would rake his beach. The park rangers to this day meticulously will rake his beach in honor of his last request. He actually would rake the beach in front of his cabin because he wanted it to look great and didnt' want any garbage on it. He could tell you what animals would walk on it and if people had walked on it. His videos and notes were priceless to those studying the animals and the area. Because of him, twin Lakes is one of the most popular and sought out places in Alaska. It's the mecca for campers, hikers and outdoorsmen. Whenever I get really stressed I love watching the dvd's and rereading his books. Thanks Dick; we will never forget you.

This should at all times be prevented, whether these radicals are communists, or dirtbags like Pinochet himself (let's be honest). So that we can continue to enjoy the benefits of liberal democracy as we have it in the West. Which still is the most inclusive system to date in which everyones opinion is heard, taken in consideration and can be realized provided there is enough support. But before we elaborate on this it is quite important to make the following notice: You can see that I said 'the West’, but considering that the economic and social situation is very different between western European countries (reciprocally) and the United States, it should be noted that my observations are coming from me as a citizen of a European country in which very robust social services are in place. We are doing extremely well in terms of securing shelter, food, work, benefits etc. to the less fortunate, even though a *classically liberal* party is in power!

This narrator’s voice, is absolutely the best for these episodes along with the tone and timbre for Mr. Proenneke’s filming and adventures while living alone in Alaska. I learned about Mr. Proenneke over 14 years ago when I was living in Montana. This series was on PBS one evening and I just happened to catch it one night and have been heavily influenced and inspired by his self reliance and self confidence, knowing that he could survive and not just survive but thrive, living on his own, literally in the middle of nowhere!!! Just so freakin amazing and a great way to learn about how someone can live on his own in Alaska. Lots and lots of lessons can be learned from this series and I sure have learned a lot. I could never get tired of watching these episodes! I especially love the little vermin’s sound of him trying to tear of the meat!! Just fantastic sound and growl coming from that little ferocious critter!! You can feel the isolation that exists up there. Anyway that’s all I’ll say, this is just awesome and awesome that he had the fortitude to film and document all of his adventures..👏🏻 😎🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@neildillon4177 One would like to think so but you are mistaken. Dick Proenneke was many things but a professional narrator was not one of them. Proennekes own voice can be heard in Alone in the wilderness: silence and solitude.

@@meepmeepziptang nope the narration is done by Bob Swerer.

I watched this program on PBS and was enthralled and amazed that this man did all this work alone. He built his cabin alone as far as I can tell and that seems impossible. But he has good carpentry skills. The last I heard he had to abandon the cabin because he’s told old to hunt or fish anymore. The film is still inspiring and fascinating to watch. He built his own root cellar.

Saw this many years ago on PBS, it actually brings a tear to my eye knowing what an amazing man Dick was, I wish PBS would play it again...

And this all took place AFTER his 51st birthday. He stayed at Twin Lakes up until his 80's, if I recall correctly.

I feel so at peace when I watch this.

Blew my mind 20 or 30 years ago, great to see it again.

My dad used to force me to watch this every so often as a kid lol. This man was insanely knowledgeable

The narrator couldn't have been better. What a great voice for this!

This man was vlogging even before vlogging had any existence... without kidding, besides his wonderful life style, he also knew very well how to write and thus create this voice over in a way that is close to be very poetic and rather novelistic, all in all his story is told in very lovely style and language use. Thanks for uploading this amazing footage, am very grateful for seeing this and other related videos. Thanks! Be safe and be with nature!

I could watch this guy everyday

Mr. Pronneke was a man's man - in the best sense of the phrase.

Jaw dropping when he made the hinges! 😊 Legend!

This is how all society should live. Pure and honest. Fresh air hard work clear and clean water 🚱 💧 nature under Gods big sky
