King Alfred Academy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 ...we have seen it on PBS a couple of times. It is about a guy who goes into the wilderness (Canada or Alaska) to live on his own. The show follows him as he builds his cabin, fishes, cooks, ect. It is really interesting and I want to watch it again (maybe netflix will have it) but I can not remember the name of it. I know it is not "Into the Wild". Anyone have the slightest idea what I am talking about?:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 You can get it at the PBS store online. But you have to buy it. Or check at your local library. Ours has it for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 They have it on Youtube. I remember seeing that on PBS as well. My husband had it on and I was in the kitchen washing dishes and came out for something, I cannot remember, but I was just standing there with soap suds all over my hands watching it. hehe It really pulls you in. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 That was a great documentary! There is also a book that has most of his personal journal from that same time period. Very interesting. One thing he didn't get footage of was the time when he was attacked by a bear. EEEK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
