Richard Proenneke
I got hooked watching that and couldn't turn it off. The man new his business.
Well he better, his life depended on it....And there was very little to no backup
I don’t know that man. But I did use to know a mathematics professor that lived in a hand made cabin that use to mail packages out of his cabin to people.
I don't know but I know that the show that he made was a pretty good long time ago. But that guy had a MacGyver type gift. Everything he did he did with a knife or an ax. It was simply amazing to watch that guy go day through day and seeing how he came up with a remedy to solve every problem. Quite astonishing if you really sat down and think about it.
He upgraded. Now he has 24/7 security and 3 hots and a cot.
At age 83, 1999, he left his cabin and went and lived with his brother in Calf. He donated his cabin to the park service. They said he could come visit anytime he wanted. Proenneke left his cabin completely intact as he lived there including leaving his 44 Ruger Blackhawk hanging in it's holster in the cabin. He never returned. He died of a stroke in April 2003 aged 86.
Sorry....
