What manlet built that cabin?

>implying that Sup Forums knows alone in the wilderness

small doors and windows = less heat loss from inside

...

would be nice for a month or two, but my family would be worried and I'd probably get tired of working all day (because lets be honest, that type of lifestyle is all work)

i agree with you op. rugged individualism is where its at. not this beta-tier alt-right pisspantsing that takes place on this board far too often nowadays.

what did you do with you testicles, Sup Forums? are none of you actively moving toward a red-pilled, wilderness lifestyle?

I dunno about canada but in the states you cannot just build a cabin like he did and live in it anymore. You need inspections and you have to pay taxes.

Over here it's way, way worse. We barely have space.

Still, Proenneke is an admirable man. He's like the realistic non-pussy version of that Into the Wild college kid who killed hisself eating poisonous plants because nature didn't do idealism.

Well the cabin guy rebuilt pearl harbor after the japs destrayed it during WW2. He knew his shit unlike that leftist nature tree fucker.

I worked in construction for over 12yrs, ran my own finish carpentry business for 8yrs, and in general have fucked around with carpentry most of my adult life. I really want to build one of these before I die.

the thing is if you dont get cought you need to answer questions or pay tax.

i am in the province of quebec and i was thinking of going back to chisasibi to live the free life. a life the size of a man. but i need to get a lot of things before.

get a bigger truck, lots of tools to cut trees and build log cabin. learn how to hunt, trap and fish.

one thing is sure. staying in big city is a dead end for true mens of value.

>rugged individualism
I prefer wealthy individualism.

i dont know if you guys know about the youtube channel wranglerstar but the guy is pretty based.

and is a good redpilled role model

It used to by my dad... And I still want it to still be my dad, so I'm leaving the spot open for him for a while.

Well even fishing and maybe killing deer and shit like he did cannot be done anymore. We have the DNR and they will fuck your shit up if you hunt out of season or without a license. Gone are the days of mountain men and survival.

>I've actually heard of this guy

Old world democrat with a good heart and a hell of a hand on the wheel.
Wonderful man Mr Newman was.

Have you heard of that hermit who escaped capture for about 30 years in the American wilderness?

Kinda of an oxymoron to be honest. Most of the time.

>"rugged individualism"
>glorified peasant living

What will you subhuman mongrel mutts think of next

>Kinda of an oxymoron to be honest. Most of the time.
The idea is that if you make enough money or accrue enough investments to live work-free for the rest of your life, you'll be free. It's technically true. It's the best kind of freedom. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want, and you don't have to suffer a cut in your standard of living to do so.
It's like being a NEET with six-figure NEETbux and without the autism.

I thought peasant living was an irish thing in general

...

Pursuing this will leave 99.9999999% of people disappointed.

Are you poor?

Because all that window dressing gets old quick. There's nothing inherently satisfying about more fancy booze and whores.

do tell

also checked

Meh. Better than accepting the drudgery of 40+ hours a week for 40+ years at shit pay for a shit life. At least there's a potential light at the end of that tunnel.

...

>Are you poor?
Do you work?
No. This is Sup Forums. Nobody works.
Let me enlighten you.
It sucks.
It really, really sucks.
It never stops sucking.
In fact, it usually sucks more as you go.
Let a man dream.
I'd much rather have a problem finding something to do with my copious amounts of time and money than deal with the daily problems of the working world.

I understand your point, but I was under the assumption that the juxtaposition to "rugged individualism" would be similarly isolated. Wealth normally requires connections, networking, communication, and all these things are not really isolated. Being innawoods generally means you don't interact with others.

But fair point.

A true robot. Really fucking interesting.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favour of being financially independent. But that whole bullshit 'rich kids' lifestyle doesn't add anything to it.

The beauty of it is the lack of obligation, which can start at less than 10k a year. You don't need to be some sad cunt on a rented yacht.

No there's no potential. It just will not happen for the vast, vast majority of people. At least the log cabin in the woods idea is achievable.

What you're advocating is that people accept the drudgery of 40+ hours a week for years for a chance at some day being fabulously wealthy. That is the very trap that we are trying to escape from, bro.

Anyone aware?

What every man should inspire to be like.

Someone who gives the middle finger to tradition and hands over the greatest empire in the world to his spoiled kid to crash it with no survivors?

Don't have one

Proenneke fan in Latvia...made a damn fine house by hand as well.

damn that is a fascinating person

I was at my buddies cabin in the upper peninsula of Michigan for a few weeks this winter.

No cell service, no electricity, no running water.

It was absolutely life changing, if you've never went off the grid you have to try it out.

We were living off of a coal fired stove for heat and at one point my vehicle got stuck so badly it took four days to dig it out, which was exaggerated by the literal feet of snow we received every night.

All in all it taught me a few things.

When you're living traditionally you forget about all the bad shit that happened in your life recently.

You stop caring about personal appearance, hygiene for the sake of girls etc...

You appreciate the smaller things MUCH more than before. Shooting a rabit or catching a fish was absolutely exilerating, and eating it later was a godsend.

Alcohol is absolutely a necessity.

Liberalism and weakness has no place there, it's all hard work and hard fought minor victories.

You begin to appreciate non electronic forms of entertainment, card games were actually fun, shitty stories and jokes were actually funny.

You gain a sense of appreciation for those that came before you, my family were frontiersmen, and I began to understand the choices they made and the lifestyle they lived.


There are a lot of cons, a lot of hard to swallow red pills that come out of it, but all in all I'd do it again any year and if for some reason normal society was gone I'd be 100% prepared to give it all up.

Anyone wan stories? A lot of spooky shit happened there, we didn't see other humans more than once a week for basic supplies in town.

>Instead, he noted, he’d rather read Rudyard Kipling, preferably his "lesser known works."
is he, dare I say it, our guy?

Incredible. I didn't notice that.

Well go on be a share bear.

Television is a bane to mankind.

Oliver Reed: a hard drinking, hard loving man.

Yeah yeah yeah! Tell us the spooky shit!

>buddy has the idea to cook us some nice steaks the first night we're there to celebrate making it up over the bridge.

>yeah bro good idea
>we get there, hike to cabin
>no signs of life
>take a few hours clearing snow, carrying gear in
>start fire inside to warm the cabin up
>buddy starts to thaw the beef
>drinking starts
>start cooking the beef, actually turned out really good
>go to bed after getting all the shit we needed to do done, exhausted by this point

Keep in mind, the area of the UP we were in is very low on natural food sources for animals.

Most predators are absolutely starving at this point of the winter.

>wake up to go take a piss
>AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>ohfuck.jpeg
>wolves
>lots of them
>fucking everywhere outside

We accidentally attracted 10-15 wolves on our cabin the first night with the steak scented smoke from our chimney.

This is just the beginning by the way shit happened literally every day that got spooky after this.

TL;DR

The wolves didn't go away and got progressively more aggressive as the trip went on, and at several points could have easily attacked one of us but didn't for some reason.

All 3 of us had holstered pistols 24/7 after the first day, and there were several times were they had to be used.

Is that the guy who said that after living in the wilderness and not talking to anyone, he lost his sense of self?

...

underrated

Every time we had a substitute teacher in for my high school woodshop classes we had to watch this. Not going to lie I learned a shit ton from it.

Didn't think that through.

Not just television, but electronic entertainment in general. Including Sup Forums. It's too entertaining and too addictive, so it's hard to be productive when it's so easy to practice fun escapism that you could theoretically do for weeks on end without getting bored.

I understand, but it's a different sentiment.

The internet, like a library, is something which you can add to and take away from, as well as move backwards and, I guess through speculation and fiction, move forwards through time in. This can be done at your leisure, and there's no real monopoly on what you can consume, or can't.

Television is a vacuum. It exists only in the present. You can't control the entertainment because you don't participate in it. It's entirely passive. People become engrossed by today's news, and that's really it. It's a sliver of time moving forwards, with nothing on either side. That's why it's so destructive. And why it's so numbingly comforting.

We created our own pleasure traps desu. We hijack our evolutionary reward systems with shortcuts. Fastfood, drugs, porn, social media, (You)'s are all easily acquired.

I can't think of any escape other than going full innawoods. Society isn't going to improve in this regard. With designer drugs and virtual reality we'll only get more plugged in.

We need religion.

Is Keanu just the most based man in Hollywood? I'd love to hangout with him

I don't think old time religion is compatible with contemporary civilisation, the erosive forces are too strong, especially when living in a metropolis or at least a city.

The UP is a great place.

I get the nails and hammer you get the sticks, larpfag

more stories plox

I don't think so. I think that there needs to be a serious, rigorous defence of religion. This can only arrive, unfortunately, once TV dies.

>wolves
user you are thinking of coyotes. I live in Michigan and wolves are rare here.

tay tay, will always be the rolemodel

...

> This can only arrive, unfortunately, once TV dies.
So never.

>TV is a healthy platform at the moment
>Blockbuster sure is a thriving business model!

I live near there, fucker was more of a thief than a true mountain man. He stole all kinds of property from nearby summer camps.

What is this from

Red River rough cut or something

so funny

Always wanted to see the UP. Being stuck near the capitol is suffering

>wealthy individualism
That's basically me: autistic rich kids who don't have any friends

VR is next.

The visual entertainment Jew is a hydra.
