Movie Reviews of Alone in the Wilderness
Movie Review: 'Alone in the Wilderness' is the Most Fascinating Learning Tool Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
'Alone n the Wilderness' is a memorable experience you will never forget. Watching the solace of a humble man choosing to survive in the Alaskan wilderness; building his log cabin, all his necessities, digging a fridge and freezer underground, hanging his meat in the trees, passively teaching you everything it takes for survival. The movie earns its worth by just watching him carve with his axe - unbelievably skillful. Sharing his relationship and respect for nature is an amazing gift and a beautiful experience for anyone. I was so pleased when my 24 year old son was blown away by it. I am so honored to have a copy of this fantastic toolMovie Review: This IS the PBS run show you've seen...
Summary: 5 Stars
Just as I remembered it, this is THE show I'd seen on PBS and was mesmerized by each time I was able to catch parts and pieces on TV. The only thing you don't get with it are the breaks where you might get little bits of conversation and little known details or stories that Mr. Proenneke told over the years to his family & friends.
But, this is totally worth the price of this DVD. It's good quality, although the colors are muted just as they were from the original old film shot in Alaska. In my opinion, it adds to the charm of the whole thing. I just wish I was sturdy enough to try to live this life for myself!
Movie Review: Awesome Video!
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally watched this video on PBS and decided I needed to get it. Dick Proenneke was the original survivor man. He self-filmed his activities building his own log cabin and life in Alaska. This DVD is really neat, fused with Proenneke's original self-footage and some updated wildlife footage to bring the viewer about a year (4 seasons) of life at his cabin. It's every outdoorsy hermit's dream! The DVD is great and the book that is also available is really good too. I recommend the video if you want some good entertainment or some encouragement to get "off the grid" and build your own cabin. (All by hand!)Movie Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this after hearing a friend talking about seeing it on PBS. I have watched this video countless times (probably close to 100 times). If it were on VHS, it probably would have worn through by now. I find it to be very invigorating, that this man left civilization as he knew it to live in the wilds of Alaska for one year. Of course he stayed a lot longer. His details of what and how he did them, make you want to be there too. After watching the video several times, I was curious about all of the details they don't show, so I bought and read it as well. I highly recommend both.Movie Review: It answers your question"can I survive in the Wild"
Summary: 5 Stars
We saw this video several years ago with my young grandchildren, 6 and 8 yrs old. They loved it, so when I found it on Amazon I could not wait to share with my same grandchildren, now 9 and 11. They camp with thier parents and still loved the " how to" part of the story.
The wild life is fun and believable, the geography and views are challenging.
So if you wonder what it is like surviving in the Alaskan wild here is the answer. It will leave you wanting more and you will be pleased to find there is more about this man and his adventures.
