This entire series is absolutely the best. Every single book and dvd meet all of my expectations and more. What a fanstastic story about a marvelous adventurer.
I continue to go back and read the books again and again, and watch the dvd's repeatedly as well.

I've read Alone in the Wilderness along with this journal and the review I wrote for 'Alone' could probably be placed here word for word. It's plainly a fantastic account of an extraordinary man living life day to day in the wilderness. The message of the journal is also simple: don't be wasteful, be resourceful, use your God-given wits to be a productive and decent person. Again I can go on and on about the values this book projects without even trying.
This is a much longer read than 'Alone' that could go from days to a few weeks. Read it and savor it. You may just be inspired to do something extraordinary.
Richard Proenneke's Journals September 2, 2008

Richard Proenneke's journals from 1974 - 1980 detail everyday life at Twin Lakes Alaska. From the daily adventures of hiking and filming wildlife to the more mundane chores of chopping firewood, and making sourdough pancakes, Dick reveals his everyday life in the wilderness. Dick's prose is surprisingly easy to read for a daily journal, and entertaining. He easily transports the reader to the wilderness, and all its beauty, danger, and tranquility. A more sanguine aspect as the journal unfolds is the eventual encroachment by Man, stayed somewhat by the National Park status of the region. Dick's writings are unassuming, and yet very powerful in their simplicity, and the pictures they paint. A rare man, that I wish I could have met. I highly recommend this book for those that love the outdoors, and seek a captivating story of rugged, yet humble individualism.

I have not yet finished this book/journal but find myself trying to read a few pages daily. RLP (Richard L. Proenneke) took time from his daily chores to write thousands of pages, documenting his life in the Alaskan wilderness.I escape the daily grind of my 9 to 5 by living out in the wilderness with RLP. So far I have climbed mountains,made friends with various animals,hiked in sub zero temps,sewn buttons on and patched worn clothing,cleaned campsite liter left by hunters, and on and on I could go all done thanks to RLP sharing his life with me through his writings. I highly recommend this book to anyone who ever dreams of escaping into a less hectic life. Thanks RLP !!!
The service has been amazing. Thank you SO much!!! July 30, 2008
We are thrilled with this product! The service has also been wonderful. Thank you!!!!
