Dick Proenneke – the star of PBS’s program “Alone in the Wilderness” – built a meaningful life in the Alaskan wilderness with a small set of hand tools and astonishing amount of resourcefulness. This new book – written by the caretaker of Dick’s cabin and his personal effects – weaves vintage photos with entries from Dick’s journals to paint a portrait of a man fully engaged in life and the natural world around him. A fantastic book for the fireside on winter nights. | Lost Art Press

Thousands have had such dreams, but Dick Proenneke lived them. He found a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become part of the country. This video “Alone in the Wilderness” is a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, and the constant chain of nature’s events that kept him company. To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin
