"Learn to use an axe and respect it, and you can't help but love it."- Dick Proenneke
For thirty years Dick Proenneke lived and thrived alone on the wild and remote shores of Twin Lakes, Alaska."To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin... to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available... to be not at odds with the world, but content with one's own thoughts and company...". With his 16mm wind-up Bolex camera, Proenneke documented this unorthodox and inspired life with the eye of a great documentarian while living the life of a true woodsman, craftsman, and naturalist. Alone in the Wilderness Part One was a catalyst for the founding of Best Made, and now we're thrilled to share the sequel.
