had such dreams,
but Dick Proenneke lived them.
He found a place, built a cabin, and
stayed to become part of the country."

Alone in the Wilderness on DVD
Dick Proenneke retired at age 50
in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin on
the shore of Twin Lakes. The first summer he scouted
for the best cabin site, and cut and peeled the
logs he would need for his cabin. Dick Proenneke
returned the next summer to finish the cabin where
he lived for over 30 years. Dick filmed his adventures,
and Bob Swerer later turned the film into a video
so we can all watch this amazing man build his
cabin by hand.

The Frozen North on DVD
For more than 30 years a man by the name of Dick Proenneke lived alone in the Alaskan Bush. His only neighbors were the wolves and grizzly bears and his only transportation was his canoe and a good set of legs.

The Frozen North is Dick's own filmed account of his life alone in this "One Man's Wilderness", produced from original footage not included in "Alone in the Wilderness" or "Alaska Silence & Solitude".
