Over the last 45 minutes, I watched a fellow build a log cabin on PBS. He cut windows and a door, then made wooden hinges and a wooden latch for the door. Then he made a wooden lock for the door. Then he built a fireplace and chimney, not to mention carved himself a wooden spoon. In Alaska! He hunted for sheep, caught fish, and everything else you do to live in the wilderness. He built a sled to haul things about in winter.
He started out seeing if he could live a year in the wilderness in 1968. He stayed there 30 years.
Oh, the voice over at the end said he moved out when he was 82.
Condensed video here.
