In this Episode Robin takes a seat with Monroe Robinson - author of 'The Handcrafted Life of Dick Proenneke' to chat all things wilderness living in Alaska: The relentless nature of maintaining a homestead and your gear in such a harsh environment, building a greater connection with nature and the sometimes tragic consequences that come with it.
A big thankyou again to Monroe for sharing his time today. You can hear more of Monroe's personal story in EP43.
You can also find Monroe's fantastic book - 'The Handcrafted Life of Dick Proenneke' at Lost Art Press.
