    Quite possibly the toughest guy I have ever seen. When you look up "man" in the dictionary, his picture should be there. I remember watching his documentary some years ago on PBS and to this day I never miss an opportunity if I know it's on. The book is great as well. If you love the outdoors you will love this. If you don't, you dang sure should appreciate it.

      He ain't got nothin' on Red Green.
      Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

          I love this story and watch it every time it's shown on KET.

              Thanks for posting. I hadn't heard of him but am very interested in the subject matter. He was a fantastic builder and wood worker. Made that stuff look WAY easier than it is.

                  Yeah he was good at what he did. This was a shorter version of the documentary. There is also a video of him going back to the cabin some years after his health forced him to leave. If I remember correctly he was only gonna stay a year after building the cabin but wound up staying something like 25 or 30 years.
