I'm re-watching "Alone in the Wilderness" and I am continue to be amazed at Dick Proenneke's skills and accomplishments. I don't think there's a better example of practical, primitive living skills, and by extension bushcrafting skills (which I mention since all the cool kids are into bushcrafting now). A strong will, determination, hard work, magnificent skills with (minimal) tools, creativity and ingenuity all combined yielded amazing results.
I know we've discussed him and the film in the past, but I think his name should arise on conversations about primitive living, bushcraft, and survival more often!
THE MAN CARVED A WORKING LOCK AND KEY FROM WOOD. FROM WOOD.
