I saw that documentary. Unfortunately he died in 2003.

He was something, alright.
What balls of bronze, to do it that way, alone, starting with just a backpack full of survival gear and temporary use of a friend's cabin until he finished building his own.

Saw where he shot a sheep the last day of hunting season and said “opened and closed hunting season with one shot”.
