Thomas Crapper
Read his book, but I still need to watch the documentary. Living alone in the middle of the wilderness sounds lovely.
I have not read the book, but the film is definitely worth a watch. Or 13 watches. I know, the "magic" of film and all that, but the guy made building a cabin look like it was a leisurely weekend chore, and he was already in his fifties at that point. I really admire what he did, even if he was a bit of a wacky hermit.

John Drew: my grandfather
the Molaska
Company Inc. came into being OD October 9, 1935, with the aid of the U. S.
laws that hell financially troubled businesses to survive. Some of the leases
seemed to be transferred to associates of Frank Costello. And the president
of Molaska Corporation and Molaska Company Inc., one John Drew, turned up
years later as a holder of a 5 per cent interest in the Las Vegas Stardust
Hotel in partnership with the Cleveland Syndicate.
Investigation showed that John Drew had legally changed his name from Jacob
Stein in 1933. Jacob Stein had been a coconspirator with Gaston B. Means to
bootleg liquor in the early days of Prohibition and his testimony had helped
send Means to prison. Later, in 1928, he had been convicted in a giant liquor
conspiracy. The first attorney he hired for Molaska was Aaron Sapiro, who was
indicted with Al Capone in Chicago.
Besides working with Bronfman and Rosenstiel in their legal liquor businesses
and setting up Molaska to keep the illegal distilleries going, the National
Crime Syndicate also had its own legitimate outfit known as Capitol Wine and
Spirits. This company was headed by Louis I. Pokrass. Meyer Lansky, Bugsy
Siegel, Joe Adonis, Frank Costello and the rest invested a lot of money into
Capitol. In 1945, when the company's liquor license was revoked for failure
to identify the secret owners, Capitol's assets were sold. The proceeds were
invested in the Flamingo, which Siegel was building in Las Vegas. Obviously
all of this interstate and international wheeling and dealing requires
political contacts at the highest level, especially since what is involved
are marginally legal or illegal operations

The Handcrafted Life of Dick Proenneke
At 51, Dick Proenneke scouted a site for a log cabin on Twin Lakes, Alaska. The next year he returned and built his cabin, by himself, using only hand tools. Dick lived in his cabin for nearly 31 years, crafting by hand almost everything he needed with materials found locally, including a cache...

Being from Ft. Wayne, I know this man. Edit to add: I think he was the first person to ever tell me that he did most of his training on a road bike, even for BMX. Blew my mind at the time.
