Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Alone in the Wilderness - Dick Proenneke - What Rifle??

When I watched that Alone in the Wilderness video, I couldn't help but think about this Jeremiah Johnson exchange:



Jeremiah Johnson: Y'ever get lonesome?

Bear Claw Chris Lapp: Fer what?

Jeremiah Johnson: Woman?

Bear Claw Chris Lapp: Full time night woman?

I never could find no tracks on a woman's heart.

I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were, and the meanest bitch that ever balled for beads.

I lodge-poled her at Deadwood Creek, and traded her for a Hawken gun.

But don't get me wrong; I loves the womens, I surely do.

But I swear, a woman's breast is the hardest rock that the Almighty ever made on this earth, and I can find no sign on it.
