    I can't remember the name of the book but I read it a couple of months ago. It was about this guy and his family being among a few of the last that lived there.
    Pretty amazing family
    The second guy has a documentary that comes on PBS every few months.

    I really like the Alone in the Wilderness book, badly made me want a 1903 and a cabin in Alaska.

    Oh the things I'd do for a piece of property and a life like that. My cousin and her husband live in Anchorage, have a hunting/SHTF cabin out in the wilderness... almost every day it crosses my mind that I should just drop everything, move up there, and offer to work as their "housekeeper" at the cabin.

    The bear scene should answer some questions for the "best gun/caliber for the back woods" hand wringers.

    Sadly, that kind of homesteading isn't allowed anymore.

    Most people in backwoods "West by God Virginia" still live like that.

    I watched the shorter video. That was pretty cool.

    I've watched both videos in full now. Thanks so much for posting this Ah Pook.

    Dick lived life to the fullest. great video. and he had the balls to start his adventure at 52 years old. sure he aquired a lot of his skills throughout his early years, but to just do what he did at his age is ,,well ,,something most men can't even dream about.
