Cool PBS show

I am not sure how many of you here watch PBS, but I just saw a really cool show/special. It is called 'Alone in the Wilderness'. It highlights the life of a gentleman who moved to Alaska by himself for ~40 years (up until his last years of life, then he moved back to the lower 48). He had both a still camera and handheld video, which he used whenever someone would visit him. Some of the footage is really cool, as well as the overall story. It might be something to watch out for.

Sounds interesting. The Red and Green show is about the only thing I watch on PBS these days. I'll have to keep a look out for that though
