I’ve watched the video of Richard (Dick) Proenneke building his cabin in Alaska a number of times. It’s on PBS quite often. It’s very cool!

Never heard of Randy Newberg or Steven Rinella.

And those two other guys, Clay and Dave…I’d be wary. 😆

Quite the motley crew…8)

Newberg’s show is about the only hunting show I can occasionally watch. He doesn’t hunt with a trad bow, but his show is all DIY, public land hunting – not the usual, staged crap on somebody’s land over bait. He is also a big spokesman for public lands – we need more guys like him.

Never heard of Newburg either. Alone in the Wilderness is a fantastic video and book. That man’s self sufficiency is staggering!

Rinella wrote a pretty good book I own but his personality drives me a little nuts on the show.

Of course, everybody knows the others.:D

I’ve read all of Renella’s books and recommend them to anyone who’s interested in hunting or fishing. He’s a top shelf writer and sharp as a tack. I’ve watched a few of his Meateater shows and have enjoyed them. As far as hunting shows go, it’s a pretty good one. I like that he places a lot of emphasis on the backcountry experience and, of course, meat. He’s a bit of a utilitarian, but in a good way.

As mentioned above, “Alone in the Wilderness” is a great flick. I watched it back to back 3 times when I first discovered it some years ago. You should be able to find it online or check out a copy at the local library. Good stuff.

I don’t know much about Newberg other than he’s a supporter of BHA. Never seen any of his shows or anything he’s written.
