These Journals are the writings of Richard Proenneke in his own hand and provide a  detailed accounting of Richard's experiences of his life at Twin Lakes Alaska.  Follow Richard's daily encounters as he travels through the region, putting into practice the life's lessons he had learned along the way; living in the moment; living each day to the fullest; taking one day at a time, always moving forward.  To know and understand Mother Nature intimately as no other would, what Mother Nature is capable of offering us, and what She can take away in an instant.  Richard found a place and a lifestyle that put him in touch with the rhythm of Mother Earth and of life itself.  Richard understood that "oneness with nature is an experience rather than an expression."

Welcome!

Welcome to the official website of Richard Louis "Dick" Proenneke.  We hope  your journey through our website is both enjoyable as well as  informative.

Dick was a great teacher of life, passing along to students and wildlife enthusiasts his life experiences.  He left a legacy of a strong work ethic, the importance of self reliance, and the significance of the delicate balance that exists between nature and man.  His ingenuity and resourcefulness of not wasting anything is evidenced by Dick using everything to its full potential.

For more than 30 years, Dick documented and recorded himself on film and in journals which are still revered and respected today and have become valuable sources of information for countless explorers and adventurers.

Welcome To Dick's World!

Dick's wilderness ethic was simple:  "Twin Lakes and the wildlife therein should not suffer for his presence."
