Leslie Conrad: This book could relax the most stressed person simply by putting yourself in the moment as he builds and survives the Alaskan wilderness. Given it happened in the 70's makes it that more impressive. You'll likely not watch any of the Alaska reality shows again the same way.

Amazon Kunde: Für jemanden, der mit diesem Thema etwas anfangen kann, sehr lesenswert.
Die im Tagebuch geschriebene, wahre Geschichte eines außergewöhnlichen Mannes,
führt einem in eine vollkommend andere Welt mit ausreichend Platz für seine eigene Vorstellungskraft und kommt ohne jegliche reißerische Elemente aus. Für jemanden der die wirkliche Natur liebt absolut empfehlenswert.

Eduardo Amil T. Alves: Great read. Dick Proenneke's life in the wilderness is full of poetry, respect for nature and lessons of master carpentry. His reflections about the needs of men and the speed of information and it's consequences were the wake up call we did not hear, and whose price we pay now.

G: The book has literally transported me halfway across the globe and also in time. I so enjoyed every word of it. I was a pleasure to understand Dick Proenneke and realise how simple and beautiful person he was. How he built the cabin, his attention to details despite no one was going to inspect his cabin, his views about hunting unnecessarily and how he lived like he was part of the twin lakes ecosystem than an outsider, everything makes him special. A great great read.
