Ha..
I came here just to read the thread.. I ended up shutting the tv off and watching the whole video in my phone.
That is an inspiring life he had lived. And what he accomplished alone.
Anyone wanna go built a bush craft cabin with me?
Hah

He was definaetely a different breed of man to do what he did at age 55. Guy had energy that wouldn’t stop nothing but muscle. To cut your own boards by hand like they came from a saw mill was amazing to watch.

One of my all time favorites. Discovered this while in a flea bag motel pipelining a few yeas back and watch it again and again. That was one tough guy.

Great movie, there is another movie called Alaska Silence & Solitude, Dick is in that movie also when he is older. The wife bought me both, sometimes you think what a simple life like that would be like.

walt disney
A walt disney fantasy and a good one.maybe one in a thousand could survive.Cabin fever is real,and can drive one insane.Takes a powerful set of negative events to drive one to such extremes.a great story to watch from the comforts of modern life,never even had a dog or two,no way. I made it 6 years alone in a cabin,but i had my best friend dogs.when there luck ran out i had to again join the human race.

Watched this show a long time ago,I built a cabin in the bush years ago, small logs and a dirt floor, I didn't spend a lot of time there maybe a week or so at a time ,but it was a whole lot better than tenting it's been many years ago now fallen down for sure.It wouldn't take a whole lot of prodding to get me to build another one though lol.
