Richard Proenneke lived alone for 30 years in the Alaskan wilderness in a cabin he built himself

In 1968, Richard Proenneke left his career as a heavy equipment operator and took up an entirely new existence. He flew to a remote Alaskan lake, built a log cabin by hand, and began a life of quiet self-reliance. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll hear Proenneke's reflections on a simple life lived in harmony with nature.

We'll also put a rooster on trial and puzzle over a curious purchase.
