Summary: Manual Download Link: http://jumbofiles.com/ozriszfxdji2 If you are not already familiar with the story of Dick Proennke and you're interested in Survival/Preparedness.... Well, you should be. :) Here's a little abstract about his story: "In 1967, Proenneke began building his cabin in Twin Lakes. He was 51 by then, says the Vancouver Sun, and the 150-square-foot one-room log house he designed would take a spring and summer to complete, for he worked alone. He felled trees and peeled logs, harvested and hauled several acres of moss for the roof, crafted a wood-burning chimney with lake stones, built a “picture window” framing the lake view and hand-chiselled everything from door hinges to soup ladles to chairs and even his bunk bed, all of it with nothing more than basic tools and an affinity for fine craftsmanship. Twin Lakes was Proenneke’s dream, and he would live it for the next three decades, turning to the land for inspiration and for sustenance, revelling in the splendour of the mountains and forests and lakes, growing vegetables, shooting game and gathering berries." On today's episode we discuss the life of this man, the film about his experiences and some lessons we can learn from his experiences. http://www.nps.gov/lacl/historyculture/proennekes-cabin.htm Excerpt from "Alone in the Wilderness": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJKd0rkKssfeature=player_embedded NOTE: Intro song from www.soundjay.co
