Just watched it all in one sitting. I'd read the book some while ago (it was a very welcome relief after having read Guy Grieve's account!) and it all came flooding back. Great stuff. He - RP of course- was blimmin' handy with tools wasn't he?

 

[Nonsuch]

I really enjoyed watching that. Thanks

I have been showing my pupils. They want us to build a cabin out the back of school.

Great film.

 

[Two Socks]

Thanks! I had seen fragments of this, but seeing the whole thing is just awesome.

There is a follow on film (not with RD in though) I'll put that one up on youtube later on.

Dave, that video was produced by Bob Swerer Productions and is still available through his website here: http://www.dickproenneke.com/
as for the YT video, enjoy it while you can as it is possible it will get yanked by the producer.

I read the book a while ago, couldn't put it down. Seeing such a craftsman at work really brings it to life. Just think of the sheer practicalities of his efforts? Most of us struggle with a load of logs for the fire let alone building a cabin! One day I will have a go at building a log dog cabin or ground deer hide but I will be using a chainsaw, I'm not even going to pretend that I'm half the man he is! Glyn.

I went to view this this morning as I had some spare time...

Sadly it's been removed by Youtube due to copyright issues

noooooooooo!!!!!!

Somebody reported me to youtube so the movie was removed. Pointless exercise as its very easily available all over the web. I did try to buy off the company a few years ago, they would not ship to the UK then so I found a download, their loss.
