Movie Review :Alone in the Wilderness the story of Dick Proenneke















I've seen this documentary in bits pieces over the past few years on PBS, but finally after years I broke down and rented it from the library. It's about a man named  Dick Proenneke who move to the Alaskan wilderness and hand built his home and everything else he need. He built every with just a few hand tools. It is a unique look into the life of a truly free individual. So if  you get a chance rent it.

Cheap tent stakes!

I saw these tent stakes at a flea market and thought what a simple yet ingenious design. I just had to share I'm thinking of making a few.
