That was such a good documentary series. Dude went out in the absolute wilderness with tools and built a homestead from absolutely only what was around.

I've just seen the first one. Didn't even know there were more til your comment. Gonna try to track down the other three.

Yeah. Doug Pereneke or something like that. He ventured into the Alaskan wilderness. Just brought tools and used nearby trees and rocks to build his cabin. Was completely isolated. Only saw another human every 4 or so months from a bush pontoon plane that would bring him some things. This guy did this in his late 40s pr older i think. Truly amazing. First saw it on PBS years ago.

Close, Dick Proenneke. Here's the Imdb page for the first one. Click on 'connections' and it shows the three 'sequels' that I wasn't aware of until you said there was a series

It's not that bad. really inconvenient though... Overstock is barely a half of what Amazon has.
