Not sure how many here have heard of Dick Proenneke, but if you have not, I can highly recommend reading his journals. Fascinating guy; a master builder, paddler, hiker, photographer, wildlife filmmaker and journaler. He built a cabin in Alaska using only hand-tools. PBS had a series of specials on his life in Alaska in the early 2000s. I’d start with the Early Years journal, but his 2nd journal is available for free to read at the NPS Lake Clark site:
