   The amount of work that went into this and the beauty of it all being done bare handed is incredible!! Proennke is an inspiration and a legend!

   "I cut and hauled 75 trees to camp, carved a bowl and spoon from scratch, made an in-ground fridge, and made hinges for my door before breakfast."

   Exactly it’s like every scene he uses a tool to make another tool he doesn’t have and then that tool he made he uses to make another. What a lost art and skill set this man had.

   Check out Alone on the History channel. Reality show about 10 people put into the Wild with just a few items. Amazing how they survive and what all they make!!
