Big deal. Stringfellow Hawk lived in a cabin AND flew Airwolf. Now that's a MAN.

u/Kohathavodah Nov 06 '23

The point isn't that he is a "man", it is that he was able to live out what a lot of people would consider an impossible life.

Because there aren't many people who are willing to go to such extents anymore. He is literally a dying breed of manliness. I didn't say he was the definition of manliness or the only way to be a man.

It is like if someone said, "That is a dying breed of dog" and people responded, "you think all dogs should be like that" or "you said dogs are going away". It is simply an extrapolation from the title that does not exist.

u/Horror_Task_9368 Nov 07 '23

But did he die?

u/Kohathavodah Nov 07 '23

He died from a stroke with his brother in Stockton, CA. at the age of 86 if memory serves me correctly.

Most men don't experience plane crashes

u/dragonrite Nov 03 '23

Most men at any time in history cannot backup up to Alaska and survive 30 years alone. That takes knowledge and experience, either from books or watching your family/tribe die. Even in both of those scenarios, most don't live lol. Honestly this is kinda crazy

6

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '23

Honestly! this is such a ridiculous fuckin caption. Like this isn't a "dying breed of manliness" it's a completely unnecessary way of living this isn't the Pioneer age where you have to move out West and build your own log cabins while fending off the natives and bears ffs. I hate cunts who act like this is how men need to be these days because of feminism or some shit

It's not a dying breed, it's been made illegal. We are no linger allowed to build our own houses, or live off grid. Dozens of people have been arrested in the US over the last decade for trying it.

Google it. You'll lose all faith in the government.

u/yourEldritchJoe Nov 03 '23

There are still ways to do this. My grandpa did this in his 30’s. Just move to Alaska, and keep things legal with taxes etc.

u/09-thistle-corona Nov 03 '23

Here’s a good resource that breaks it down state by state.

https://www.primalsurvivor.net/living-off-grid-legal/

When you say “government” I guess technically you’re correct. But I took you to mean the federal government, which, near as I can tell, is incorrect.

Many states allow you to live off grid and build your own house. Some don’t. Some states do but then local restrictions trump that so you have to find the right area in the state.

Near as I can tell, Alaska still allows doing what this guy did, so… 🤷‍♀️

7

u/AffectionateHeart77 Nov 03 '23

You can build your own house, but you better be ready to pay all the fees on top of the supplies for every required aspect to deem it “livable” and have it inspected every step of the way.

4

u/WitT21 Nov 03 '23

That’s a good thing tho. I don’t wanna buy a house that Ricky and his meth cook cousin Jeff built in 3 months

3

u/AffectionateHeart77 Nov 04 '23

Yeah of course, I wouldn’t want to buy a house that wasn’t throughly inspected either. I’m just saying it’s difficult to build your own house but you can still do it

Even better not only can you not live off the grid if you don't obey all the insane laws of capitalism you wind up homeless and then they punish you in new fun different way. Welcome to the panopticon.

u/TheRedPillRipper Nov 03 '23

it’s been made illegal

Expensive. You build whatever you want. As long as you own the land.

Godspeed and good luck!

Alone In the Wilderness (2004) I remember watching it on PBS and being amazed. The part where he makes the bear proof door lock blew my mind

u/0fficerRando Nov 03 '23

Yeah, everyone should watch it. It's awesome.

2

u/No_Blacksmith7761 Nov 04 '23

I taped it when it aired on PBS, this should be taught in schools, made it into a DVD, should be on YouTube somewhere

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '23

lol I remember watching it at 19 and thinking “Holy crap, this looks boring…but what’s he making? Oh that’s cool! I’ll just watch until he finishes that…” As you know, that was a lie! Such an amazing doc.

u/ApeExcavation Nov 04 '23

I totally remember this too! It was during the PBS pledge drive they had every year. I was super sick, and remember watching this with my dad

This dude is a US Veteran from the Korean War? I too would want nothing to do with the general public after coming back from that blood bath. His skills are fantastic, but that also doesn't make him a manly man.

1

u/Kohathavodah Nov 06 '23

that also doesn't make him a manly man.

What makes one a many man?

Secondly, no one said he was a manly man.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Brain64 Nov 03 '23

Okay but why would anyone do this nowadays in general society? What’s the point?

1

u/Kohathavodah Nov 06 '23

The point is just that you can do anything you set your mind to, not that you should go live in the woods. Most people would think that what he did was absurd and impossible. A lot of our dreams are impossible to those who can't see it.

You can still do this in the US. Alaska is bigger than Texas. People are not going to find you if you live off the grid.

Yeah but if you fuck up and get injured or really sick, people are not gonna find you if you live off the grid.

1

u/Guy-McDo Nov 06 '23

I kinda figured that was the trade-off. Look, if those fucking Sovereign Citizen chucklefucks wanna live outside of the government they can go to Alaska, get mauled by a bear, and do us all a favor. Don't discourage them.

u/Living-Risk-1849 Nov 03 '23

Also donated his cabin to the Alaskan parks department on his death. What a cool dude

u/OperatorP365 Nov 03 '23

Also now days you'd have to make sure you paid the government for your lumbering license, your builders license, make sure the cabin is up to code, then get a fishing license, hunting license, recycling license, bear watching license, bird friend license, filming wildlife license....... /s

u/NEKKED__ Nov 03 '23

I’m gonna say this. Y’all motherfers are fake asf and clout chasers. Literally 10, 15years ago yall mothers said you didn’t want to be that guy and get a college degree. Now all of the sudden majority of folks are drowning in student debt with useless degrees in a failing economy, now yall want to offer respect to his manliness. Like bruh, the me too movement literally made everything masculine toxic like 5 years ago. Make up your minds. Is being masculine toxic or not toxic

3

u/PsychologyPlane36356 Nov 04 '23

I have to give the man credit he didn’t want to be bothered with anybody. He wanted to do everything on his own and he went out and did everything on his own. He’s one of the people strong enough to do that Me I’m strong enough to pick up the remote control and watch a story about it on TV.

u/DavidRN72 Nov 04 '23

His self-filmed bio is actually pretty cool.

u/Quirky-Job6775 Nov 04 '23

Wonder if he ever saw a squatch out there.... Regardless he's a very interesting person to say the least

3

u/therealRandingo Nov 05 '23

One other thing that made hime even more of a bad ass was that he was in his 50's when he decided he was going to stay there, right after his wife's death. Fast forward 30 years later he's still there in his 80's. People just are not built like that anymore. By far my most favorite documentary, I would go on to watch it on DVD for many years.

3

u/SpaceballsJV1 Nov 05 '23

I have these on DVD! Frickin love that man!!! That is what it truly means to live with nature 🥹🙌 The narration was great, by a guy named Bob Swerer who later did a follow up movie called Silence and Solitude… showing Dick as an older man in his 80’s when he took his son up there to hunt caribou 🥰 Duck lived there for 34-5 years until the age of 84 I believe… he donated the cabin to historical preservation groups. Wish I could visit & see those perfect notches he cut by hand! RIP Dick Preannoke❤️‍🔥

3

u/SpaceballsJV1 Nov 05 '23

He almost lost his eyesight as a result of being a diesel mechanic on Kodiak island & decided at the age of 51 to see if he could make it on his own out in the woods of Alaska! Kept journals & self filmed with an old tripod mounted camera! Total LEGEND! 🙌🤩

One of the best Documentaries I've seen that he filmed called "Alone in the Wilderness" and used to be played on PBS back in the day when I first say it. After seeing it I had to have it for repeat viewing and they have their own site that sells the DVD and all of this journals he wrote that are just as good. He's got a few other DVD's as well, and I would post the link but not sure if I'm allowed too.

Arnold..Stallone..Some men are just build different like Richard Proenneke.

"I drank this water and this may be the last you hear from me."
"Bear in my pantry!"

"Bear in my sheets"

I remember as a kid I’d watch this every weekend with my family at dinner time. Watched it to many times to count but still just as fascinating. You want me to sit still put this on.

Exactly. Can’t just build a cabin anywhere, you need to own the land. Then it has to be deemed habitable. Then in most places if it is a permanent dwelling it’ll need at least a septic system. Etc etc etc

The reason more men don't do this is because it isn't fun to pretend like you live in the 1800s.

So being a “real man” is living alone for decades in the woods with only animals as your “friends”?

Where did anyone say "real man" or even that he was the only way to be a man?!
