how many hours until you get off work and on to your busy day

Right now here it's just after 0400. I get off at 0800 and then don't come back until Tuesday night at Midnight.

And I'm not sure about a busy day, but a long one. USUALLY on Sundays, I don't go back to bed until around 10-11 pm Sunday night, after getting up at 2230 Saturday night. Just what I am used to, I've tried to "nap" but haven't been very successful. Best I've been able to accomplish is just "Resting my eyes" every once in a while for 10-15 minutes at a time.

Yeah that sounds about right. Guess I'm just to old and stupid to realize it should hurt not sleeping for about 24 hours.

That Dick was a real craftsman, when you watch him hand build the cabin

just watching alone in the wilderness 2

Never heard of those. What's it about?
Randy
If you get the chance you need to watch Alone in the wilderness and Alone in the wilderness 2
Dick Proenneke was a guy that retired to Alaska and lived alone for 29 years and documented a lot of it with a diary and movie camera

Now that you mentioned his name, I've heard about him some. I THINK I saw as short blurb about him once. Is he the guy that built a cabin all alone using only hand tools. I remember he carried in his wood drill bits and axe(s) without any handles on them to save packing weight and made the handles when he got there.

That is him
iirc his book was called One man's wilderness

The short part I was about him I found very interesting.

One side effect of being on here is that every time we go "Out and about" I am always looking around determining how this place, or that place would do for a "Get outta Dodge" site. I am always evaluating the amount of downed trees for building materials/firewood and areas prone to flooding and availability to a food and water source. Kinda fun.

he also did a film himself that was about an hour long, it is on youtube
it is good but no where near as good as Alone in the Wilderness is.
The guy that made Alone finished it just before Dick died.
iirc he showed Dick the film a week before his passing
