昨晚在PBS(美國國家電視網)看到一個很好看的節目.Alone in The Wildness.如有機會看別錯過. Dick Proenneke retired at age 50
in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin on
the shore of Twin Lakes. The first summer he scouted
for the best cabin site, and cut and peeled the
logs he would need for his cabin. Dick Proenneke
returned the next summer to finish the cabin where
he lived for over 30 years. Dick filmed his adventures,
and Bob Swerer later turned the film into a video
so we can all watch this amazing man build his
cabin by hand.
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.
