Alone in the Wilderness

[mhambi]

I've seen DP mentioned here a couple of times, thought a few here might enjoy this. I figure this should go here, because it does show him building a hearth/fireplace/chimney. :lol:

I wish I had a 1/4 of his skillset.


If you like these youtube vids, I highly recommend buying the DVD/book... well worth it!

Thanks for the link as I had never heard of him before. A very talented and hardworking man for sure.

I enjoy Ray Mears. Very skilled individual.

I have it on DVD and watch it every now and then.

Read his book. There are so many more details than the video. His cabin was a warm 42 degrees in the winter.

 

[Pagey]

Just now making the time to watch some of this. Amazing man. Clearly intelligent and passionate about his work ethic and doing the job right. Thanks for linking!

thanks for that. I've never heard of him before but I like it. Reminds me a lot of the kind of stuff I used to watch on broadcast TV in the 70's.

The poor man never gets to watch the news and discuss politics?
I wish that lifestyle for all of you.

I enjoyed watching that, every time he left that cabin he had a mission and walked with such intensity,

I like the part when he said the Caribou would be a easy shot but I like Ram meat better! And he spent 35 years in solitude but who filmed him?

 

[fishingpol]

He had a camera tripod for some shots. He had his bush-pilot friend visit him every few weeks with supplies brought in on a float plane.

VHS tapes are those things that I copied all my older BETA tapes to...

 

[albertj03]

Which video is it that he makes the hearth?

 

[Pagey]

Which video is it that he makes the hearth?

It's towards the end of the Disc 1 series. I can't get over the man's skill level. He makes it look almost easy!

 

[madrone]

That's the best thing about it. He does everything with such confidence and ease.

 

[Chargerman]

I don't know his previous experience but starting to build the fireplace that late in the year in Alaska would have freaked me out. I know it took him time to collect the rock, etc. but he must have done that actual building of one a time or two before this....otherwise he is just one of those guys that does everything right on the first try.

 

[logger]

He's a robot.. no one talks like that.

 

[ROYJ24]

I saw this on PBS once. Great program.

 

[SKIN052]

Just starting watching this, I am hooked! He is quite the handy fellow. Who prefers Goat over Moose?

 

[marreque]

just got done watching.
WOW!!
UFB!
i wish i had his skills and patients, not to mention his resistance to the cold.
