Great Stuff, JJ! I lived in Alaska for 5 years. Left there 10 years ago to live in Europe. Watching that clip makes me wonder if I made the right choice.

Oh Sorry, I liked the video and for me it ended way to early. Kinda reminded me of the Stoufer (?) wildlife videos from Wild America I think it was called that came on every once in a while. Now THOSE videos I would like to have, but PRICEY!!!

I took something away from even that little 10 minute clip, you can't rush life in the wilderness. Too bad I can't just pick a place in the Rockies to live eh?

It would be to crowded! I think a lot of us here would want to do the same thing! Hey we could start our own community, call it the "Rocky Mountain Yard"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The DVD and the Book are both great! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> The book tells more than the DVD as usual, I'm glad I decided to get the book after seeing the DVD. And there's another DVD on Mr. Proenneke that's great too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I can't think of the name of it ATM though...

I think that would work, a group of likeminded individuals setting up shop. And, if there is a problem, somebody is bound to have a solution for it

That was 10 minuets well spent. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Made me want the whole story. Thanks for sharing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Peace.

Just ordered the DVD. I'm not much of a reader, so I didn't get the book. I know, it is odd for a journalist not to enjoy reading. But, if they have an audiobook version ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
