Alone in the Wilderness Part Two (trailer)

“Learn to use an axe and respect it, and you can’t help but love it.”- Dick Proenneke

All these years and we never knew there’d ever be a sequel to the movie that played such a huge role around Best Made. We’d argue that part one of Alone in the Wilderness was one of the bigger catalysts for starting our company: Dick Proenneke’s uncanny blend of craft combined with his sheer courage and fortitude for being able to live alone in northern Alaska (alone) for 30 years make for a truly Best Made man, a Best Made movie. Lucky for everyone and thanks to Bob Swerer, Dick is back — better than ever — in the sequel and we just got our hands on some of the first copies which were released this week.

Proenneke lived a life that many of us dream of, and we encourage everyone to keep dreaming but more importantly we encourage you to act. You don’t have to move alone to the wilds of Alaska for thirty years to be as free as Proenneke. You don’t have to build your own log cabin either. Just get outside, and without even thinking you’ll soon enough find yourself on your own amazing path to exploration, documentation, and creation.
