DVD Reviews of Alone in the Wilderness

DVD Review: wood master
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm surprised Dick didn't make a wooden snowmobile! For a diesel mechanic he could work some wood. Trust me it's a lot harder then he makes it look.

DVD Review: An amazing DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an incredible documentary about one man's struggles against nature and how he overcame them. Once you start watching this, you can't stop. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a challenge.

DVD Review: We're all weaklings........
Summary: 5 Stars

Very interesting story, you are sitting there amazed with what this guy could do. Built a log cabin by hand? NO power tools? Gathered his own food? Made anything he needed! Dick makes "survivorman" or "man vs. wild" look silly. There is old footage mixed in with new footage. Some of the new footage is off topic, for example it will be showing Dick taking his canoe out and then switch to a higher quality shot of a moose. But it doesnt take away from the story one bit. A must see... and show the kids. People were made tough back then ;)

DVD Review: 'Alone in the Wilderness' is the Most Fascinating Learning Tool Ever
Summary: 5 Stars

'Alone n the Wilderness' is a memorable experience you will never forget. Watching the solace of a humble man choosing to survive in the Alaskan wilderness; building his log cabin, all his necessities, digging a fridge and freezer underground, hanging his meat in the trees, passively teaching you everything it takes for survival. The movie earns its worth by just watching him carve with his axe - unbelievably skillful. Sharing his relationship and respect for nature is an amazing gift and a beautiful experience for anyone. I was so pleased when my 24 year old son was blown away by it. I am so honored to have a copy of this fantastic tool

DVD Review: Alone in the Wilderness
Summary: 4 Stars

To be honest I have not opended the package. However I have seen this several times on PBS TV. This was purchased as a Christmas gift for a friend, and i know he will enjoy this. He is a jack of all trades, fixes and repairs all things around home. Has agreat shop of his own.

Description of Alone in the Wilderness

"Alone in the Wilderness" is the story of Dick Proenneke. To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin... to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available... to be not at odds with the world, but content with one's own thoughts and company... Thousands have had such dreams, but Dick Proenneke lived them. He found a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become part of the country. This video "Alone in the Wilderness" is a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, and the constant chain of nature's events that kept him company.
