On my last visit to the local library I was fortunate to find the DVD called "Alone in the Wilderness" this DVD is based on the adventure of Richard Proenneke that at the age of 51 decided to build his home (cabin) in the remote Alaskan wilderness.
Richard kept a journal and filmed much of his experiences (Great cabin building tips) he stayed up there for thirty years.
If your library does not have it you can also purchase the DVD and others at this web site: http://www.dickproenneke.com/

Here is what his good friend Sam Keith had to say about him.
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.
