  • Dick Proenneke is famous for building a cabin out of handtools in Remote Alaska and documenting his whole journey through video and journals. His cabin was included in Lake Clark national park where dick was a park ranger at his own cabin once the park was constructed in 1980s. Our resort in Remote Alaska does tours to his cabin, and I got to tagalong for one of those tours.

    I've read every book on Dick Proenneke . There's a creek close by called Hope Creek. To me you are practically a relative to Dick Proenneke. Your great grandfather had a very big role in his life and his story intertwines with Mr. Proenneke. Your resort is important cause it helps people get to his cabin. Mr. Proenneke in his autobiography had really only one nasty bear problem. He tried to break down his door. Dick decided he had to track him down and kill him cause he knew the bear for some reason was after him and would never leave him alone. Thanks so much for this wonderful video.

    Small world. Way way back I think around 1969 I wrote a letter to Babe Alsworth and of course sent it to Port Alsworth. Post master returned my letter saying write to Glen VanValin. I never did as my dream was to live in Alaska. Well, I have been here since 1976 . Always wanted to meet Dick and see his cabin. Never got the opportunity but still admire his skills . Live in Delta Jct these days.

      Real story, my cousin in Fairbanks had her last baby at home. Her water broke and the little guy wasn’t waiting. It was -50 f and she knew she had no choice, she didn’t want to risk having him on the way to the hospital in that weather. She talked her husband through what to do. Big thing in her favor is she’s a nurse midwife. She said, obviously she knew what to do, but never imagined she’d have to teach her husband on the fly 😂.

      @@bearpawz_ She moved to Fairbanks after college because she was offered a position by one of the medical services. She gets flown out to several remote communities to provide services. She’s delivered several babies in remote locations. To be honest it’s only the last 100 years or so that most of us have been born in hospitals. Not that I’d want my wife or kids to have the extra risk.
