| User ReviewSarah FThis is one of the most engaging films I've ever seen. Dick Proenneke is a man. |
| User ReviewAdamONe man, decades in the wilderness. What else do you want! |
| User ReviewTom BA simple tv documentary (and not a new one) by feel, but the footage and the subject are amazing. The guy's a great carpenter, and very clear and organized about all the things he needs to do to survive. Watching the cabin go up is awesome. |
| User ReviewChristina EI own the book & have seen the film about 30 times now . . . |
