One Man's Wilderness

In 1973 (long before YouTube and the current crop of imitators) Sam Keith wrote a tribute to Dick Proenneke using Dick's daily journals as source material. Proenneke was the original "back to the land" inspiration - he spent many years living on his own, forging his own path, and making his mark on the lands of Twin Lakes Alaska, and outdoor culture as a whole.

A dream had by many people, and too many YouTubers; to become self sufficient, out in the wilderness. This is something that Richard (Dick) Proenneke not only accomplished but documented in daily journals, and by use of a wind-up Bolex camera. Using Dick Proenneke's journals, Sam Keith, a long time friend of Dick's, writes a telling day to day account of Dick's adventures of building his home, his daily living routines, and becoming self-sufficient in the wild, unspoilt lands of Alaska.
