Average Rating: 
Rating: - Alone in the wilderness
This is an excellent documentary of one man building his own log cabin and tools and so much more. Very well done. It is just an amazing true life account of one man alone in the wilderness. I watch this film at least once a month, it's that good.
Rating: - BOOK AND MOVIE
THIS IS A SPECTACULAR BOOK MOVIE COMBO THAT ADDRESSES THE BREAKING AWAY NEEDS AND FANTASIES OF EVERYONE - FROM 60+ ADULTS TO 5-7 YEAR OLDS. WELL WRITTEN BOOK, AND INSPIRING MOVIE
Rating: - ATTN Carpenters
Anyone who would like to see the ways of a true craftsman and builder; buy this. The use of hand tools and techniques humble the most talented woodworkers, builders, and carpenters. Roy Underhill has met his match.
Rating:  - Incredible movie, every frame is interesting on many levels
This is a great and amazing story. Just the fact that Proenneke accompolished his goal of forging a life in the wilderness is amazing and fascinating. But watching him do it is really a treat. The cinematography is spectacular, and even more so when you think that he shot this by himself on cameras he back-packed in, in color, in 1968!! And to tell the truth, what we see him do would be hard to believe- if we weren't watching him do it.
Whether it's Alaska's vistas, Proenneke's series of astonishing accomplishments, the wildlife of Twin Lakes, or the fact that this was filmed in 68 and looks so good, Every frame is worth watching a few times. There's so much packed into this movie, that it's kind of amazing in itself.
Rating: - Incredible Story!
Alone in the Wilderness was a PBS special that won the hearts of our family. The story is an unbelievable one that had our jaws dropping most of the time. What this man accomplished by himself, building a log cabin by hand with no help and so precisely, was truly astonishing. This story is funny, heartwarming and a must have for anyone who loves the outdoors!
