Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin on the shore of Twin Lakes. The first summer he scouted for the best cabin site, and cut and peeled the logs he would need for his cabin. Dick Proenneke returned the next summer to finish the cabin where he lived for over 30 years. Dick filmed his adventures, and Bob Swerer later turned the film into a video so we can all watch this amazing man build his cabin by hand.

For more than 30 years a man by the name of Dick Proenneke lived alone in the Alaskan Bush. His only neighbors were the wolves and grizzly bears and his only transportation was his canoe and a good set of legs. Through the years, Dick kept written journals of daily life at Twin Lakes but would also document much of his adventure on film with his 16 mms Bolex camera. The Frozen North is Dick's own
filmed account of his life alone in this "One Man's Wilderness", produced from original footage not included in "Alone in the Wilderness" or "Alaska Silence & Solitude".

Comments

Far too many people are failing to seed after they get to 100%. I and the few who are still seeding need help. If people fail to help, I will need to take this down, as it is not fair for only a small handful of people continue seeding despite the several dozens of people leeching.
true that k3nd00d; will seed..

this collection needs to be shared; alone in the wilderness is one of those unknown films everyone falls in love with the first time they see it. dick proenneke's hard work and craftiness, and his appreciation for the beauty of nature, are so inspirational!

thanks so much for making this available!
IS THIS THING CURRUPT I CANT GET IT TO WORK. I MOUNT IT IN POWER ISO AND NO PLAY. WHAT GIVES? dOES IT NEED TO BE BURNED TO FUNCTION OR SHOULD I BE ABLE TO PLAY IT FROM MY VIRTUAL DRIVE LIKE NORMAL?
never mind it seems to play in micro shaft media player. not ideal but it'll do fornow. thanks anyway
This is fine. Nobody else has had any problem. BTW, I consider burning to and playing from DVD to be more "normal" than using a virtual drive emulator.
This has AC3 audio, as shown in description. Any DVD player can play this. When playing on an OS from 2003 (XP), you may not have AC3 audio driver/codec installed. I suggest you find and install that. Try http://ac3filter.net/projects/ac3filter
What a hero, this guy is an idol.

I shall seed if i ever get to download it.

Q. does this have frozen north within the ISO because this is all I'm after?
Umm, why not?
I sure hope this is ntsc and will burn ok, I am planning to burn it just as a regular Iso as I see no other instructions. Will continue to seed and report back after done dl.
Thanks alot k3nd00d! Burned fine with great menus!
excelent movies! very inspiring!
Great rip! Thank you!
I will be seeding...
I will seed for a long time. Thank you very much for this DVD collection
10/10

great torrent!! I will seed for weeks. Thank you so much!!

If you could add "Alone 2" to this it would be awesome.
Thanks, will re-seed >1 [currently at 0.64]. Unfortunately, not quite what I wanted. After reading the nicely detailed Description, I believed the 4 files were 3 MPEG2 and a PDF. Only after downloading did I discover the 3 films in a single 4.3GB ISO. To better plan, leechers should notice the summary at the beginning of TPB listing where it says "Files: 4". Carefully see that the single digit "4" is hyperlinked. Onlly if you click this "4" AND scroll down towards the Comments will you find a new box that lists the true contents of the download. Whew ;^)
Thanks for forcing me to learn how to burn an .iso to DVD.
I've now re-seeded 3.80X
Hi, new to this. I take it I need to wait until people are online seeding? When I first opened BT there were three seeders but they immediately stopped. Do I need to wait until 100% to seed? Thanks for the UL k3ndood.
@YardBoy:
Apparently you missed the fact this is in the "Movies DVDR" category and the statement at the top of the detailed description that states "DVD collection of all 3 Dick Proenneke related documentary videos. With working DVD menus."

And about forcing you to learn how to burn ISO files, I did not force you to do anything, but I am glad you learned something new.

@AngerBot:
Typically a person is referred to as a seeder if they continue to allow people to download from them after they get 100% of the torrent downloaded. The truth is that normally you are also seeding while you are leeching (downloading) prior to getting 100% of the torrent, as well. I do hope you got the files downloaded, it may take a bit of time for you to get more acquainted with torrent. Good luck!
@BRIAN_1: What is "Alone 2"? Do you have a link to a torrent or a wiki entry or anything to show me? I thought these 3 videos were all there was from Proenneke.
Kendood, thank you. I managed to get Alone in the WIlderness 2. I just left it in BT at 100% to reseed for others. There doesn't seem to be any upload activity though. Not sure if I need to do something else.

Still waiting to complete this file. I only have a tiny %. Getting a seed for this seems to be hit and miss. Thanks for providing though much appreciated.
Ah, I see "Alone in the Wilderness 2" was released fairly recently. I may go back and look at making a DVD with all 4 videos, some day. Not sure. As for getting this torrent completely downloaded, there are plenty of seeders now...so, it shouldn't be a problem.

:D again, thanks for the awesome DVD
Putting this in an ISO is just stupid.
could you re-upload this with seperate mpegs or avi or whatever files for the people who dont want physical copies/take the extra time to burn a disc
you need to add "Alone in the Wilderness part 2" the web sight says its a new release =D
k3nd00d , very nice i see you beat me to it, great job man i love this guys vids
Thank you so much for the upload! I will seed for a long time at 40 mbps.
