It's amazing to think that this guy, at age 51, left the "civilized world" for 35 years, and finally decided to leave when the "50 below winters were getting to be hard to take". How many of us had complained even once about 20 above?
What really makes this even more astounding was that he made almost everything from scratch. hand made log cabin, doors, chairs, door hinges, bowls and spoon. The segment building the cabin, with the exactness of the notches, the choice of logs, even the manufacturing of the hand tools he used were awe inspiring.
constructing a cold box below the frost line was ingenious, as was recycling old metal containers into kitchen storage utensils.
I first saw the show a few years back, and ever since I have kept my eyes out looking for any rebroadcast on the PBS stations.
I picked up the DVD last month for my brother, who fell in love with the show the first time he saw it.
I could watch it over and over again.
