if you get a chance watch this and you will be hooked.
i have seen this show like 100 times and it still gives me peace everytime i watch it.
i just ordered the DVD and cant wait to watch it again and again.
One of the best stories i have ever seen.

It's on the public TV station here in Seattle occasionally.  I have seen it at least 5 times now myself and will watch it every chance I get.  It is truly amazing how he built that cabin by himself with all traditional hand tools.

The guy saws lumber with a hand saw the long way...  Doesn't that get tiring?  I get blisters just doing that to a 2x4.

"One Man's Wilderness".  It's great, a nice addition to the documentary.  It gets a little more in depth and has some good pictures.
