I purchased the recent anniversary edition of this book, and have read it cover to cover several times…..it’s as if one is walking right beside Mr. Proenneke through the whole process.

This is brilliant what a legend R.I.P much respect from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

My childhood was partly spent living pretty similarly to this in the Yukon Territory, at the time it didn’t seem to out of the ordinary to me it was just how we lived. We had a copy of One Mans Wilderness back then and I loved the pictures in that book as his cabin looked so cozy and I could look out our windows and see similar scenery and weather.

Dicks videos has shown me that life is a beautiful struggle that brings a quiet peace to soul.

God looked upon this man; he lived a wonderful life with the animals and serenity.

I remember seeing the pbs show one night with Mr Proenneke and you could tell his attention to detail with everything he did. I don't think he knew what the term "it's good enough' meant it had to be done right or not at all. As far as the isolation goes I worked on the American built cold war Dewline in the Canadian arctic sector for about 10 years doing tours of 5 to 9 months with as few as 12 people operating a radar station. Summer could be nice but winter with 24 darkness could be pretty bleak when the wind was blowing at 60 knots and it was minus 55 centigrade combined minus 80 with windchill. I worked at several stations and always remember being in the Yukon which was less than 20 miles from the Alaska border on the coast of the Beaufort sea we did not see the sun for 6 weeks because we had the brooks mountain range about 10 miles behind the station. I was only in my early twenties and was told its ok to talk to yourself as long as you don't start answering because then you have become bushy and time to go back to civilization for a vacation. Not sure if people read comments but an old English mechanic I worked with was in the tail end of WW2 would say sometimes you just have to watch and take in the scenery because life is unpredictable.

Dick's recordings should be made available to the public. The lessons of resolve and human spirit and coexistence with nature are too deep to keep hidden behind a paywall. There's so much potential here to reach and impact a larger audience.

Many viewers wish they could live like this. It may be better to try it more like in "Swiss Family Robinson" rather than in a place with such hostile weather conditions. Millions of people live and survive quite well in tropical or sub- tropical conditions. Few possess the skills needed to survive as this man did. My wife and I blew off city life to buy a small 13 acre hobby farm, built our infrastructure, out buildings, fences, barn and two houses all after our kids left the nest. We were 46 years old when we took this new lifestyle on. Prior to that change we lost everything we had twice including our homes. We lost one of our children (one of our twin daughters) unexpectedly at two years old. That was 38 years ago. We are nearly 65, married 46 years and retired now (finally). Never regretted any of it. We raised calves, milked cows, took care of more than two hundred chickens, grew corn, potatoes, peas, beans, blue berries, peaches, figs, apples, plums, tomatoes and other produce. We raised dogs to sell as pets, learned to raise rye grass and put up hay. We learned to can our own fig preserves and to make fantastic pickles from our cucumbers.. We learned to butcher and to heat with wood. Not much money now but we ended up with a simple and comfortable life style that is all paid for. It has always been very rewarding. We made our living online and doing many things on the side. Neither of us has had to work a 9 to 5 job since 1995. We have been free! God gets all the credit, especially for delivering us out of many hardships and close calls along the way. He provided the income and resources to buy and build out everything we own. We started with $1,600 cash and a dream. That is all we had. If you want change go for it and make the commitment. Expect a lot of new education earned the hard way because it is not as easy as it looks. Before jumping somewhere off the grid and out of the system you best try it our way. You probably will never graduate to off grid living, few succeed at that. Same takes even greater survival skills such as solar, wind and conservation measures not to mention austerity measures galore! Also if you have a spouse you better be Best friends as we are because you will be spending nearly every waking moment together! Best wishes to you as you discover your new adventure.

The Woods and the Mountains: The daughter we lost was one of our two year old twins. We miss her very much even 38 years after losing her, but she is with God and we will see her soon. We no longer grow our food, just the fruit orchard now and a little canning of preserves. Our milk cow died of old age so we no longer milk a cow or raise calves. I miss that but the work of that is huge. We still keep a few chickens for eggs only. They are all pets with names so no more butchering. My health is going downhill fast but my wife is very spry and youthful so I believe we can hang in there for a long while yet. It is wonderful to own so much land but couples wanting this lifestyle must be willing to work very hard and also be prepared for old age when infirmity sets in making the work much harder to manage.

Bob has done good work putting together these documentaries. I bought the two Alone in the Wilderness DVD. Well worth it. I watch them every once in a while. I don't tire of seeing what Dick was able to accomplish.

I made a comment over 3 years ago and got several responses plus lots of thumbs up 👍. Looking back I was told if you r always trying to get the perfect picture you end up missing a lot special moments. So true I have witnessed the porcupine Caribou herd over 2 seasons when stationed at Bar 1 or Komakuk Beach Dewline site along with Wolves, Grizzly Bears, Arctic Foxes, Wolverine Sandhill Cranes, Falcons, Beluga Whales and Ravens plus tons of migratory birds. Point is not a lot of pics but a lifetime of memories. Dick made movies but enjoyed priceless interactions with nature which he shared unknowingly with millions. A life well lived without worrying about 401 k, rrsp maple 🍁 beautiful scenery has no price.

They made a documentary about him from beginning to end of 40 years on Twin Lakes Alaska until he came back. A real adventure story. "Alone in the Wilderness".

This man is my Hero! Love Proennek a lot. God bless this soul!

I truly love this film. To see someone going thru this and living a dream that men who enjoy the out doors.

My papaw would have loved this. He loved shows like this. Unfortunately in his final years all he had was those huge mountain men shows that feel really fake. But he always enjoyed wilderness videos, hunting, survival, all of it. Also had a wood shop he would make chests and lock boxes all out of wood. My papaw and Dick were good ol souls that loved nature and good days hard work. May God bless their souls.

He's my hero. I have the VhS tapes from a PBS telethon 25 years ago. I will sell them for 1 million dollars. Almost priceless.

He was a amazing man. I think of him as others might think of Mr. Einstein

Apparently he lived this life when I was a kid dreaming about the wilds of Alaska. Now that I am over 60 I see this through different eyes. I have been alone in the rugged wilderness, far from any other living soul. It can be an eerie feeling being so isolated in such unforgiving country. I think I would want some company, for a few reasons. But this gentleman seemed right at home with only the wild creatures as his companions. Quite a unique story.
