is a show i recorded on the DVR/TIVo about a guy who left civilization to build a cabin in the woods of Alaska… he recorded himself building his homestead cabin when he was 50 years old or so, and it was amazing to see how he did all of the board making, carpentry, log shaping, etc, using hand tools… it ends with him being 85 years old and leaving his mountain home for a return back to more city life… it was a sad shock to see the guy at 85 so soon after getting to know the guy in his films… granted, they were obviously old films, but to see someone go from 50 to 85 in an hour is kind of freaky… makes me realize how short life is… even though i say i know life is short, this makes it brutally clear…
for those of you who dream of living in the country at least once in your life, this is a good video to watch… it’s slow… unsophisticated… and just what i need now and then to feel relaxed in a stressed out life…
“Alone In The Wilderness”
just a thought…
