Now technically it's not really a fly fishing video but he does fly fish in the video.
Its about a man (Richard Proenneke) who ventures into the wilderness by himself and builds his own cabin in Alaska in 1967. I thought it an excellent video. He musta been a carpenter because he makes building the cabin and furniture look very easy. The hinges he makes for the doors was very impressive.
He plants a garden, hunts for meat and fishes. It was so impressive the way he carved a new life into the wilderness. He made living there look very comfortable.
He used the most basic tools , it was amazing. It's about an hour long dvd of his own movies.
Richard moved there in 1967 and stayed in the cabin for decades and passed away just a few years ago. Probably get lonely but looks like he had a great life.
Anyone interested in woodworking, cabin building , or wilderness experience , I think would find a video very enjoyable. It has that old time feel to it.
