Have watched most of those over the last few years. He was amazing. Really like the wood hinges he made for the double doors.

I remember PBS used to show one of those every fund drive. I always enjoyed it.

 

I have the book and CD. The book is a good winter's night read.

 

One good thing about the PBS fund drive is Alone in the wilderness one and two!

 

X2 on watching on PBS, he had some great skills, I'd be a pile of bones.

 

I remember watching those with my dad. Really interesting and amazing

 

I've said that too. I'm in awe of what he did and that he could stay there in the isolation as long as he did. No way I could handle just that part, even when I was younger.

 

My wife and I watched both of them a couple years ago, and she bought me the book.

Agreed, amazing man, especially considering he did this all - basically an entire second lifetime, after retiring from a long career.

I also would have gone insane just from the isolation.

 

That guy was insane....a mans man...could do anything......i wanna grow up to be just like him
