- 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. 
Interested in checking out the cabin yourself, check out a Lake Clark Resort at www.lakeclarkair.com and click on tours and lodging

I was lucky enough to finally visit in 2015 after seeing the documentary on PBS years ago. Absolutely breathtaking place!
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.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the tour 🥰
Dick Proenneke’s cabin. Now that is way too cool. I read his books and watched a documentary about his cabin and how he built it. They were really good.
AWESOME, you went!!! So wild your grandpa is the one that brought supplies to him. Your family’s compassion and friendship is in that cabin, too. The metal cans he used. That’s from your family bringing him supplies!
The scenery is amazing what a beautiful place to live.
Yet another wonderful video…. You ate a great tour guide… stay safe😊😊😊
Lol
This video is so special as was Dick. I love that your family is so connected to him. I feel so blessed to be able to watch this.Thank you for your videos❤❤❤
Wonderful! Thank you for taking your viewers on this trip:)
Fun getting to see inside! The door is smaller than I thought and so cute.
Thank you for this video. Watched the pbs show and have read the book. What an amazing man he was!!!
They have clips on RUclips of him
How the door was made is a work of art.
You are so lucky to live in a place like this. From what I’ve seen in that video, I think I could live like Dick Proenneke. Living like this would be awesome and I am sure the rewards would outweigh the challenges.
I'm not into word working and camping or anything like that, but I watched an old documentary about Proenneke and i loved it!
Thank you for showing us this beautiful site!! ❤️ Absolutely breathtaking!
Thank you for the visit to his cabin, I read the book and loved it, and for you to share it with us makes it so very special
Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you Salina alworth for the videos, I love this kind of living also, you're a sweetheart 👍
Thanks for posting this! Saw his story on PBS years ago. What a guy!
What an incredible story! I am so happy you shared this! How interesting and the scenery is stunning. This is the type of cabin I want to live in forever xoxo
Beautiful cabin .❤
What a beautiful place.
Thank you so much for showing the little cabin. I watched a couple videos of him building and living there. I think that started my interest in moving to Alaska one day. Wish I could get the asap!! Thanks for all your hard work on the other videos and sharing the Alaskan life with us :)
Always loved when PBS showed his story, still hoping that with all his footage taken, someone would do an even better, longer film about him. Also, you need a better mic. Couldn't hear you most of the time, but I still loved seeing his site. Thank You
I could DEFINITELY live there! ❤
Lol
I hope to visit there one day !
Amazing, I have watched documentaries about him and actually never knew where those twin lakes were.
Would really like to visit that cabin one day.
After you posted subscribers were falling..had to hit that button.Absolutely love your videos..especially enjoyed this one!
Did anyone else notice the heart shape on the corner of tettering rock? A sweet coincidence for a young married couple!♡
Your life is utterly beautiful
I have his book right here on my desk!
Ohhhh, for the memories
Alaska is beautiful, wow like a dream❤️❤️😍
I love the show on PBS.
I'm David Fefelov and I would like to visit your cabin some day. I like to live in cabins and hang out nature also. Love you 💕
Love your videos , I lived in ft.wainwright Alaska for 3 years, its beautiful , but I'm a city girl , with the cold weather , I was happy to go home to RI yes we have the cold and snow here but not -60 degrees, lol , watching your videos has me surprisingly missing Alaska 😁 , again love your work very interesting
Fairbanks (aka Ft. Wainwright) is famous for its cold winters 🥶and warm summers 🥵
❤🎉🙏🏻🙌
Turn down the music or wear a lapel mic, great video though. Thanks!
The music could be softer, it’s hard to hear what you’re saying.
Might want to invest in a mic. I'm on my phone and couldn't hear you when you were in the cabin.
I think its because the music was too loud at that point
I also couldn't hear her. Very interesting video, though. Beautiful area. It's so neat that her great grandpa flew there as well. ❤
How about you just watch the video and don’t worry about audio…goon
@@jaredpeterson9552 I'm sorry you took offense. I love her videos. I just had trouble hearing a lot of this one.
How far away is twin lakes from your resort?
Absolutely awesome and so cool you connection’s to him……🫶💜🫶
I could kind of hear your whispering under the music
I love your videos but the music was a bit loud at first and was hard to hear you🙃
I found it difficult to hear you over the loud music, but love your videos.
What happens when a women goes into labor? Is there a small medical unit there or you have to get flown?
She has mentioned before that pregnant women have to actually move to Fairbanks a month before their due date and live there until the baby is born.
@@cl5470 Fairbanks !?!? NoOOoo. There's a reason they shop at Costco in Anchorage. To go to Fairbanks, you'd have to add on another 360 car miles or about a 45 minute flight on Alaska Airlines from Anchorage. I think you meant Anchorage. ✈
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 😂.
@@JS-Outdoors Wow! Kudos to your sweet cousin! That's pretty cool (and super handy) that she's a midwife!! Kudos to her husband for doing a good job and following her instructions too!! 🥰👶💕
@@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.
Your music is just a little loud . We want to hear you talking .
What year and type of Cessna is that and how did Proenneke get money to pay for food, supplies and medical care?
Can I get your Aunt's Blueberry Pie recipe please?
People don't click on videos like this to see face, face & more face.
Hang out with nature . "Correction" sorry about that.
Looks like there might be snakes.
No snakes in Alaska.. 👍
@@bearpawz_ Really? Neither in Hawaii.
@@rohashimoto2774 Oh wow. I didn't know that... Good to know!! 🥰
If you were to damage the "tettering rock" it would be a criminal offense because it is in a National Park. There have been so many people who have done damage in our Parks 😢.
This gal was born and raised here..do you really think she would be that careless and disrespectful of her environment.. especially having a literal connection to this man and his surroundings 😮
@@ambergibson1930 DID YOU WATCH THE VIDEO? I WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT OUR DEAR CONTENT CREATOR! OMG!
Live in that cabin to lose weight
I had to stop watching bc I can barely make out what ur saying
U need to talk louder especially with background music
