Anyone heard of Dick Proenneke?

Yes, I own and have watched his self-documentary several times, they don't make them like him anymore. Really a wonderful story of self-determination and know how.
 
Long before YouTube there was this VLOGer who went to Alaska.....

Highly, highly recommended on “Alone in the Wilderness”.
 
Years ago after seeing that film, I had two grandsons go to the woods with a couple of hatchets and tried to build a playhouse. Stimulated their creativity far beyond what any video game could have.
 
Dick Proenneke caught my interest as he did it alone with no help except a bush pilot who would bring him mail and supplies..
 
He was a wilderness survivalist WAY before it got popular..... I have always been amazed as his wide range of skills.
 
I've seen his story a few times. To me the fact that he continued to live that way for years, into his 80's is the most amazing part. Some have done similar things for a year or 2.
