Thanks for all of the info and the link!
I’ll check it out… but it might be a minute. I only have 6 billion more videos to go through until I find the right one.
think he means Dick Preonekke
Several trailers with limited info but this one has no ads and showcases his cabin and surroundings from a more modern day perspective...
From one youtube clip...
Richard Louis Proenneke (May 4, 1916 – April 20, 2003) was an American self-educated naturalist, conservationist, writer, and wildlife photographer who, from the age of about 51, lived alone for nearly thirty years (1969–1999) in the mountains of Alaska in a log cabin that he constructed by hand near the shore of Twin Lakes. Proenneke hunted, fished, raised and gathered his own food, and also had supplies flown in occasionally. He documented his activities in journals and on film, and also recorded valuable meteorological and natural data. Proenneke bequeathed his cabin to the National Park Service upon his death and it was included in the National Register of Historic Places four years later. The cabin is a popular attraction of Lake Clark National Park
