The "Alone in the Wilderness" videos by Dick Proenekke. Middle-aged guy gives up on the rat race and heads to a remote spot in Alaska, builds a cabin, chills there for 30-years.

The man is amazing. Using hand tools he packed in by himself, he builds a nice cabin, hunts and fishes, all that. Dick needs a spoon or a table or a shelf? He makes one. He makes everything he needs.

No video has ever brought me such peace as listening to the narrator.

I started watching it because the guy was making a spoon for himself and I thought it was so cool that he was so self sufficient

Then I turned on one of the episodes and we was going into his HOUSE that he made for himself, mucking around with the door and trying to make a good way of doing the hinges

He's my hero but have you seen the one's he narrated himself? His voice is a little funny

This started my love for watching folk build cabins by themselves, I must have seen a hundred by now!
