You are allowed to ramble any time through the videos as you are fulfilling a bucket list. This is a once in a lifetime adventure and I am so thankful you are sharing this with us.😍
Being a Hunter, Fisher, born and raised in the mountains of British Columbia, no way I could do what your doing in Ontario. There is something about living in the mountains that blow the mind, and it never gets old!
Thank you for walking in Dick Proenneke’s footsteps and keeping his spirit Alone in the Wilderness alive for most of us who will never be able to travel there. Beautiful...
Very humbling and heartfelt words spoken from a true outdoorsman. Great self-reflection in which we could all learn to appreciate this space we all share. Our earthly home. Thanks for setting the example for us Shawn, just like Proenneke did all those years ago. Respect to you good sir 👏🏼
Alaska, a place I've wanted to visit for years. Enjoy your trip Shawn, and treasure each memory for they are made from each experience. UK. Rewatching ☺
I enjoyed this video to the max! I have experienced that indescribable feeling. When I was younger, after my divorce in the early eighties, I went camping a lot. One of those memorable feelings happened when I awoke one morning and my van was surrounded by a huge herd of elk headed for the lake south of William's, AZ. I just sat there in silent awe. Then the biggest bull of the herd came out of the woods and stared at me for a long time. What a magnificent creature! He was in his prime, and buffed, with huge antlers! And every muscle rippled when he moved. Think my little dog sensed my feelings, she never made a sound either, just looked. One of my best memories.
The look back to the shore when departing brought a tear to my eyes. New, yet familiar, intensely beautiful, absolutely soul stirring. Shawn, thank you.
Alaska, my homeland, and the homeland of my ancestors for thousands of years. There is no where else in the world I'd want to live. From the harshest weather to the sunniest day, it's all good. What you felt sitting on the mountain side looking at God's creation, I feel that everyday. Great job in putting together this awesome video. One day you'll be sitting back and reliving the experience. It was a pleasure seeing what I love from your eyes. I look forward to watching you work on your beautiful creation as well. Take care, God bless.
Sharon Kay Alaska is my home also. Four generations. People in the lower 48 talk about their mountains. They don’t have mountains, theirs are hills, we have mountains. Where do you live? I am in Anchorage now but raised in Fairbanks, way out on the Steese Hwy. Camai.
Watching this has left me feeling overwhelmed too, Shawn. I felt a little of what you felt on that mountain and I had tears in the back of my throat too. Thank you for taking me "with" you to your dream. Merry Ann from Minnesota
Same here, growing up in the woods, we had built so many different "forts" over the years. Didn't think of it as making a shelter, but they were...thanks for bringing that memory back, love you man.
As an Australian, I struggle to get my head around the fact that all that water is fresh and it's not the sea. Wonderful video and a wonderful part of the planet that I hope one day I too will be able to see for real.
🌲🍁🌿I’ve just watched Dick Proenneke cabin alone in the wilderness after watching your video. So beautiful to see things haven’t changed and it looks as though he just popped out. It’s a shame technology back then couldn’t pick up the vibrant colours on film like we have today. The wildlife he saw and the trust they had in him hand feeding them is so beautiful. I’m glad you got to experience this first hand and your reaction to being there was lovely and you can treasure these memories forever.
Shawn, I am sooo happy for you. I hope this experience gave you more inspiration to follow and continue your wilderness dream. Not that you need any the way we know you. May you be blessed in ALL your endeavours and keep sharing it with us. Great series on both channels.Thank you so much.
I think that it is the feeling of returning to the world around us, not just being a spectator. What you are doing is trying to be part of the beauty we are surrounded by, and trusting yourself to be "self reliant". After spending all those years part of the corporate machine, you can return to being an individual. It is what I want to return to and eventually will once I've gotten a few more details worked out. We all have our vision of the perfect life, and I am glad to see you living yours!!! I think that is your channel's success.
Yes, Thank You Shawn for the footsteps that you are taking allowing us to see visage and sounds some of us may never see nor hear! My Best Regards to You! Waiting for tomorrows new adventure! TY
This will undoubtedly be the trip of a lifetime.. for so many reasons.. not to say you won’t return, but to experience this for the first time has to be incredibly inspiring and satisfying. Incredible video and narration, as always. I feel like you let us peer into a very personal journey, and I for one, am grateful. Your channel has taken on a whole new meaning for me.🌲💚
What a wonderful way these videos are of memorializing this trip to Alaska and what may have been the top of your bucket list. Thanks for taking us along.
Shawn. I have always loved the outdoors. I did a lot of backpacking in the mountains of New Hampshire and Maine years ago. In fact I am retiring in the spring to Maine. Dicks documentary was incredible. I have watched them a couple of times, but I have as much respect for you and what your doing and with technology today we watch daily. Thank you for wanting to share your life with us. I look forward to watching you for as long as you let us. Love your adventures totally enjoy! 👍👍 awesome series. Real glad you got to take this trip Shawn!
Beautiful surroundings. Picturesque sceneries. You lived a dream Shawn. I can't believe such place existed today. Untouched and so quiet. Thanks for taking us there. It's an lifetime achievement of yours. Congrats.
Having seen many places that I had grown to love, in my rear view mirror - I had a lump in my throat and a bit of a tear in my eye, as I watched your departure from a place you spent a short time in physically, but spent years getting to know and prepare. For me, the last place I had to leave was supposed to be my forever home .... but life intervened and broke my spirit for all intent and purposes. You are a lucky man in many senses of the word, but I also realized that you fought hard and won over diversity and have come out of it even stronger. Be proud of what you've accomplished, for you have paved the road for your future and your family ...... I admire your ethics. I can only hope that I live long enough to experience some of my "bucket list". I will have to be happy with my dreams for now. Take care ... all the best for you and your family .... they are cut from the same stout stock.
Good morning Shawn , I cant think of a better way to start my birthday, I woke up 2 hours later than I regularly do and made a nice fresh coffee while watching the finale of your amazing adventure in Alaska . Thank you for sharing your experiences while away from the cabin , looking forward to seeing you back here in Ontario uploading more videos . Best regards from Lloyd.
So glad to see you fulfill your dream to visit Dick Proennke's cabin and camping out for 2 days ! Really enjoyed watching your videos about your trip ! Thanks Shawn !
Beautiful and emotional video, Shawn. ♥️ I live in a concrete jungle and to see all so much of nature’s glory in this series in Alaska is overwhelming for me, too. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙏♥️
Beautiful scenery. Love the mountains, the lakes, the trees. Love your talk about Dick Proenneke. Didn't know about him interesting. So are you. You have accomplished a great deal. Thanks again for taking us with you.
Thanks for all the great content. We had the pleasure of hiking the Olympic Mountains and camping a few weeks ago. This lifestyle never gets old, always busy doing something in the wilderness to sustain ourselves.
This was a dream for you! I know the bittersweet departure of leaving. I know family and home is where we want to be so the experience is the momentum pleasure you carry with you! The beauty you capture is amazing but the beauty, the emotions, the pleasure of being is incredible and cant be captured to share, but only to make memories. Returning to loved ones after a experience like this sinks in that this is home and that was a magnificent experience!
Nature brings us back to our inner being and the simplicity of life, though we tend to make life terribly difficult when we shouldn’t. The solitude of nature, and the change of seasons is really all there is. Great video and I enjoyed your thoughts as you sat to relax.
What an amazing place and awesome experience. I too have wondered why this lifestyle has such a draw for some people and now that I am unable, I wish it didn't for me. But I thank you for taking us there and allowing us to live through you on your journey. May you never feel unappreciated brother.
Yes! Hiking up & down hills strengthen heart & lungs in ways other activities do not. Plus I believe that a view you've "earned" is better than any other. Shawn, your photography and narration illustrate your admiration for Dick P & for his landscape as well as life's work. It is a fitting homage.
Beautiful simply beautiful. Shawn I think alot of people only can dream of doing what you are doing, Building a cabin, but for one reason or another they can't. So they, like me, live their dreams through your vidos, of your experiences in the wilderness. God bless and keep your vidos coming.
There's a reason for the word 'awe'. How could anyone in that setting not be awed on an emotional level. The spirit sings! So glad you were able to have that experience. Double glad you shared it with us. Blessings ~
thanks again for bringing us along , it really is an overwhelming sight The views are like a post card, But your cabin and what you have accomplished in the bush as well as your property are also beautiful
After watching the original 'Alone in the Wilderness' films numerous times, I'm so impressed with the new photo/imagery quality of today's technology. I bet Dick would agree. The place looks so much greener and so lush. Great job sir, and so sorry your camera was stolen.
Days of Silence & solitude along with simple basic living have a way of just stopping us in our tracks now and then. Doesn't make sense but then it does. Thanks Shawn.
So amazing to read Dick Proenneke's journal and look around at the same setting and kinds of wild life he saw 50 years ago. Glad this opportunity came your way and you could fully enjoy your time in Alaska. :)
Dude! You're WINNING at life! I look forward to your videos on both channels. Congratulations on carving out the life you want to live your story is inspiring. Thank you for what you and your family share with us subscriber's.
So much of life has been taken from mankind mr James living close to nature and being able to build a home. Grow food etc. That many of us love to see your ability to do just that. One day humans will be able to do these things so keep showing us your skills. Thank you so much. Carol and Bob
Wonderful visit you have shared. Thanks Shawn for the extra effort to take all the different views and angels you added to make it creative too. I really enjoyed it.😊
Gosh ☹️ someone's at my blooming door, just as I was settling down to 👀 this video! 😢... OK, its 11.28pm, UK time, and my guest's have all gone home so I'm back to finish watching. Awesome trip, Shawn, happy for you, that you got to fulfill your dream. A dream that clearly had been a cherished one. Thank you for sharing this awesome bit of our earth home. Alaska surely is beautiful.
Another great heartfelt video, Shawn! So happy for you to have been on this inspirational trip. A memory you will never forget! God bless you abundantly
Loved this Sean!! Thank you so much for creating and sharing your bucklet list journey with us. So happy you were able to do this as I for one will never be able to do what you did. Again thank you from this 61 year old g'ma!!!!
As i sit here and listen to you talk about Dick and all the beautiful scenery it inspires me even more. Years before i subscribed to your channel, I was reading up on Dick and twin lakes and all the beauty it has to offer. I absorbed it all like a sponge and continue to learn more about it. I admire you in so many wany sir and thank you for documenting your trip to Alaska. I learn alot from you. Looking forward to seeing you up at the cabin again soon. Take care sir....
Thank you for sharing your travels in Alaska visiting Dick Proenneke's place. It is a wonderful gift. You have a lot of courage camping where the bears are so close. I would have been tempted to get into the metal food storage containers to sleep.:)
Forest fire spread in the area where you were and is being evacuated right now, Sunday 18th, Sterling Hwy and Cooper Landing area. We've been having high winds coming out of the North. You came to Alaska at the right time.
I can totally relate to what you says about being overwhelmed by the scenery, nature and the mountains. When i go to our mountains (that is not near as high as these in Alaska) i feel kind of the same thing. The solitude, the feeling of actually being at the mercy of the land. All small human in the realm of Mother Nature where she rules and decides your faith. Sarek and Padjelanta National park in my country makes you feel humble and in awe. Great video and videography as always.
It is beautiful up there. I am glad you got to stay where your idol Proenneke lived. I can think of so many other places in this world that people have scratched out a living in the same manner but with different elements around them. Ego is the thing that drives some men more than others. It must have cost a fortune to make this trip. This trip will give you dreams for a lifetime.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the side of that mountain. You are authentic and real. Not sure I have ever seen videos of a place I wanted to go so badly... that have given me such satisfaction.... of feeling like I was actually along with you. Thanks so much.
That was awesome up at the cabin with all of the quiet only broken by the sound of birds, waves, wind, or other sounds of nature. This was in direct contrast to the village with all of the sounds of people. I would so love to make that trip. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Hi Shawn! You have to go to twin lakes in the winter/spring too! Because places like these are totaly different places in the summer! I live in a similar place like this. And the whole land and its "spirit" transforms totaly with the seasons! 👍
Shawn absolutely amazing footage of such a beautiful country. I am truly hooked and look forward to your new adventures and experiences when you get home. Excellent channels. I watch every evening here in the Uk. You have given me a new outlook to what is important in life. Thank you so much......
I am truly enjoying these videos! I can’t imagine the real beauty of Alaska, as I’m sure these videos and pictures don’t do it justice. Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
Excellent video Shawn, you were the closest to meeting your outdoor self reliant legend you experienced a part of his life experiences. What a bucket list experience. It's probably just below the meeting of your wife and the birth of your daughter's. I think this will create a clearer vision of what you want at your property. Thanks
Thank you Shawn for taking us on this spectacular journey with you! Omg, I was mesmerized! I’m so happy your back at your cabin safe ! Looking forward to your videos to come! 🌟🏔🐻🦅🐟🌲🛶🏕🙌❣️
omg!! thanks for sharing all this with us, shawn. was sad to see that plane come in to pick you (us!) up. ha! but gorgeous footage of the plane and flying over the lake. stunning. good to see you had your bear spray handy and for all the back-packing i did, never have i shouldered two packs! LOL. thank you, thank you, thank you.
Amazing Alaska!! I found Dick Proennke's films and book a few years ago. So intrigued with the life style its a natural life style I believe we were meant to live instead of so much hustle and bustle!! Peaceful living!
Fantastic videos off your Alaska trip Shawn loved watching them, such a beautiful place. Congrats on a job well done, and look forward to the work in progress and plans you have for your own place. Like most I live and work in a city so it’s great to watch your adventure...you live the dream for me, that’s for sure.
You are allowed to ramble any time through the videos as you are fulfilling a bucket list. This is a once in a lifetime adventure and I am so thankful you are sharing this with us.😍

Congratulations on getting this accomplished.. we can all tell how important it was for you to go to his cabin.. glad your back home safe now

That was a beautiful adventure. Well worth the knee aches I'm sure of it. Can't believe he did that till 80. Amazing.
Very moving. Thank God there are still places like this. Quiet. Dramatic. I crave it.
I appreciate the time you dedicate to camera angles and shots,can't be easy.
Thank you for showing us this and the work you put in. Your honesty and integrity are why I keep watching. Again, thank you.

Retracing Dick Proeneeke's footsteps was fascinating Shawn....thanks....his cabin in on my bucket list.
Another great heartfelt video, Shawn! So happy for you to have been on this inspirational trip. A memory you will never forget! God bless you abundantly
"only 19 winters", what a slacker :-) thanks for sharing all the great scenery with us, thanks.
Loved this Sean!! Thank you so much for creating and sharing your bucklet list journey with us. So happy you were able to do this as I for one will never be able to do what you did. Again thank you from this 61 year old g'ma!!!!
*Shawn* sorry😟
Great video. Twin lakes is indeed a great place. I can appreciate it being a very spiritual journey. I think there is alot of positive energy there.
As i sit here and listen to you talk about Dick and all the beautiful scenery it inspires me even more. Years before i subscribed to your channel, I was reading up on Dick and twin lakes and all the beauty it has to offer. I absorbed it all like a sponge and continue to learn more about it. I admire you in so many wany sir and thank you for documenting your trip to Alaska. I learn alot from you. Looking forward to seeing you up at the cabin again soon. Take care sir....
I love Shawn! ❤️
I’ve been wanting to get to Alaska all my life. Thanks for making the videos so I can see it through you.
and so good man, when you are close to nature, you are close to God. I am from the Pacific NW/never been to Alaska, just awesome ...
Thank you for sharing your travels in Alaska visiting Dick Proenneke's place. It is a wonderful gift. You have a lot of courage camping where the bears are so close. I would have been tempted to get into the metal food storage containers to sleep.:)
Love this video. Thank-you for bringing us all along. Awesome
Thank you for the beautiful scenery. Loved the video.
Very nice , thanks for taking us along !
Forest fire spread in the area where you were and is being evacuated right now, Sunday 18th, Sterling Hwy and Cooper Landing area. We've been having high winds coming out of the North. You came to Alaska at the right time.
Thank you for sharing. Having been to Alaska and experiencing the overwhelming wilderness and beauty, I too was emotional just watching your video.
I can totally relate to what you says about being overwhelmed by the scenery, nature and the mountains.

Great and thank you, it is clear to see that this trip meant a lot to you. You are a talented chap that is for sure. Such a great end product.Jim
Hi Shawn! You have to go to twin lakes in the winter/spring too! Because places like these are totaly different places in the summer! I live in a similar place like this. And the whole land and its "spirit" transforms totaly with the seasons! 👍
Awesome beauty. What an experience. Thank you for sharing...
A marvellous hommage to DP, what a great pilgrimage.
Shawn absolutely amazing footage of such a beautiful country. I am truly hooked and look forward to your new adventures and experiences when you get home. Excellent channels. I watch every evening here in the Uk. You have given me a new outlook to what is important in life. Thank you so much......
thanks for all shawn
I am truly enjoying these videos! I can’t imagine the real beauty of Alaska, as I’m sure these videos and pictures don’t do it justice. Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
Excellent video Shawn, you were the closest to meeting your outdoor self reliant legend you experienced a part of his life experiences. What a bucket list experience. It's probably just below the meeting of your wife and the birth of your daughter's. I think this will create a clearer vision of what you want at your property. Thanks
Beautiful scenery between the lake and the mountains!!!
I live here in the lower 48 and have never been to Alaska. Visiting Dick's cabin is definitely worthy of a bucket list . Thanks for sharing it Shawn.
Thank you Shawn for taking us on this spectacular journey with you! Omg, I was mesmerized! I’m so happy your back at your cabin safe ! Looking forward to your videos to come! 🌟🏔🐻🦅🐟🌲🛶🏕🙌❣️
omg!! thanks for sharing all this with us, shawn. was sad to see that plane come in to pick you (us!) up. ha! but gorgeous footage of the plane and flying over the lake. stunning. good to see you had your bear spray handy and for all the back-packing i did, never have i shouldered two packs! LOL. thank you, thank you, thank you.
Amazing Alaska!! I found Dick Proennke's films and book a few years ago. So intrigued with the life style its a natural life style I believe we were meant to live instead of so much hustle and bustle!! Peaceful living!
Thank you. It's good for you that you could do this. It's nice to go away but it's always good to be home. 👍
25:46 I saw that cave entrance again... Doesn't that make you want to explore it? I do! Great nature footage again Shawn! Thank you. 👍😁
the plane really puts the mountains in perspective
Fantastic videos off your Alaska trip Shawn loved watching them, such a beautiful place. Congrats on a job well done, and look forward to the work in progress and plans you have for your own place. Like most I live and work in a city so it’s great to watch your adventure...you live the dream for me, that’s for sure.
great, more can not say, I will never be able to fulfill this dream. Thank you for being there for me.
