The true story of Dick Proenneke

Yep, Dick was 51 years old when he decided to go off into the wilderness of Alaska and build himself, by hand (and leg) with hand tools only, a nice sturdy log cabin! Oooh, man, fuggetabout that Christopher McCandless guy (the subject of Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild") THIS guy, Dick Proenneke, is the REAL item. He hand built this lil sturdy cabin, then moved in, and lived there for about thirty years - AND he DOCUMENTED the whole thing via film and copious notes!!! Wow. I just saw this today on WVIZ and I kept saying to myself (as I watched the documentary) who is this guy??? Well, I found out - here is part of the doc.
