Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! A special type of person this, but then there have always been just enough of them to push our frontiers out to the oceans of the world, and then some.
Judie Romeo says:
His films were fascinating and, because of a two-year bout with insomnia, I managed to see all of them on late night public TV. I couldn’t have managed to do what he did but I always envied him the knowledge and capabilities that made it possible for him to survive in the wilderness so gracefully.

Fantastic! I was unable to find the other two videos attendant to the subject. Are they still available? Thanks guys. Keep ’em coming.
Bruce LePage says:
