No, not us, but Dick Proenneke. I don't watch PBS much, but this evening there was a documentary about bears on that I put on for the kids (and me) to watch. Afterwards, there was a show called "Alone In The Wilderness" about Dick's 1st year after moving to Alaska during which he established a base upon which he lived for the next 30+ years of his life. And he filmed, photographed and otherwise documented his time living alone in the Alaskan wilderness.

Alone In The Wilderness - building the cabin
I was absolutely fascinated by the capabilities of Proenneke to build his own log cabin by hand, including roofing it with moss and building a fireplace, and the scenery within which he lived. Next Sunday PBS is showing the 2nd film about this man, 30 years after he moved there. I've already set the DVR to record that film, and I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to record tonight's show so I could watch it again.
