Book Review : One Man's Wilderness

 I read this Book a few years ago after seeing the PBS Video about it. This book was written from the journals and Pictures that Dick Proenneke wrote in 1968. He was a 50 yr old retired Navy Carpenter who build a cabin in the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in Alaska. He went out into the middle of nowhere and built a cabin. He lived there for more than 30 years before giving his cabin to the National Park service. His story was made into a really good Documentary. The book covers the steps he takes to building the cabin. He used no power tools and made everything from hand. A true Survivor. This is a Classic for anyone who wants to live a simpler life or dream about just getting away.
