    Alaska - Dick Proenneke Alone in the wilderness.

    This video popped up on Facebook on one of the Axe pages I follow. I thought the video clip was pretty cool enough to share. Anyone else heard of this guy? Or got a copy of the DVD?

    I stumbled across this today whilst ‘supposedly’ doing paper work and home with a sick child. Thought it was worthy of a post. Pretty simple and concise information. Some people might find it useful.
