you should watch Alone in the wilderness
Funn side story,
Lived in Fairbanks for about 8 1/2 years. Had a friend that lived in a cabin similar to this. There are tons of them around Fairbanks and they're very popular with the college students since they're relatively cheap compared to the rest of the rentals there. Well, most of them have no running water so you use an outhouse, which is an experience in itself at -40.
Anyway, back to the story, went over to this friends cabin in March one time for a cookout and of course there is still tons of snow on the ground. This friend was a diehard bachelor at the time. I'm standing on the deck of his cabin and look off to one side and there is a big ol' yellow mound of frozen pee from where he wouldn't bother to go to the outhouse just to take a leak. Only in Alaska.
Cool site. Love those cabins but I wouldn't want to live in one all the time like lots of people do up there.

Hopefully I'll learn from their mistakes. This is an awesome documentary. I actually saw it for sale at Costco a few months ago, but for some reason didn't buy it. I'm currently slapping myself over that one.

Well, there are other options, eomo . . .
Alone in the Wilderness

Dick Pronneke was awesome! The craftsmanship he put into that cabin is hard to describe. You might also want to take a look at the other titles made about Pronneke, Alaska: Silence & Solitude and The Frozen North. It took a couple of years of work, but we finally persuaded the production company to let us carry these titles. (I guess I finally convinced them that there were some outdoorsmen that would love to see this DVD, but didn't much feel like sending money to PBS!)
