- "Alone in the Wilderness" is the story of Dick Proenneke living in the Alaska wilderness. Dick filmed his adventures so he could show his relatives in the lower 48 states what life was like in Alaska, building his cabin, hunting for food and exploring the area.

I dont know why they dont use an RV water pump system for their sink like they do for the shower. Both hot and cold easily available. Maybe they dont want to use propane? Or they could have solar water heater on roof for summer at least.
