Millions of PBS viewers first met Dick Proenneke through Alone in the Wilderness, which documents his 30-year adventure in the Alaskan wilderness. On the shores of Twin Lakes, Dick built his cabin and nearly all of the household objects he needed, from the ingenious wooden hinges on his front door to the metal ice creepers he strapped to his boots.
The Handcrafted Life of Dick Proenneke examines this adventure through the lens of Dick's tools and the objects he made. Written by Monroe Robinson, who with his wife K. Schubeck served as caretaker of the cabin for 19 summers, the book weaves together vintage photos, excerpts from more than 7,000 pages of Dick's journals, new drawings and Robinson's detailed commentary. It is nonfiction, how-to, adventure and memoir, but at heart a guidebook to living a life that is true, with found materials and a few simple tools. For woodworkers, toolmakers, homesteaders, hikers, naturalists and lovers of Alaska.
