Dick Proenneke
Richard Louis Proenneke May 4, 1916 – April 20, 2003) was an American self-educated naturalist, conservationist, writer, and wildlife photographer who, from the age of about 51, lived alone for nearly thirty years (1968–1998) in the mountains of Alaska in a log cabin that he constructed by hand near the shore of Twin Lakes. Proenneke hunted, fished, raised and gathered much of his own food, and also had supplies flown in occasionally. He documented his activities in journals and on film, and also recorded valuable meteorological and natural data.[1][2] The journals and film were later used by others to write books and produce documentaries about his time in the wilderness.
Proenneke bequeathed his cabin to the National Park Service upon his death and it was included in the National Register of Historic Places four years later. The cabin is a popular attraction of Lake Clark National Park.
Look him up on youtube and you can see him building his cabin and many other things.

For me it's easily Arnold. The fact that I don't need to tell you the last name is evidence in itself.
He built the most famous body of all time, made millions as an A-list actor, served two terms as a Republican governor of the biggest and bluest state, married a Kennedy, etc.
Trump sycophants can down vote away.

I’d be more interested in which poster has lived the most interesting life.
That’s a pretty high bar with some of the post I’ve seen here

If we're going to talk about baseball players, Moe Berg led an interesting life. He was a catcher in the majors for ten years - traveled to Japan as part of an All-Star team. Secretly photographed Tokyo harbor, and those photos were helpful in the planning of the Doolittle Raid. Later during the war, he was sent into Axis territory to meet with Werner Heisenberg and determine how far along the Nazis were with building an atomic bomb. Before deployment, he underwent schooling in nuclear physics. He carried a weapon and was under orders to kill Heisenberg if it appeared the Nazi's were making progress. He was able to ascertain that Heisenberg was nowhere near developing a weapon.

I’ll go with Rick Salomon. He was married to Dottie off the PeeWee Herman movies.
Married to a prime Shannon Doherty.
Married and divorced Pamela Anderson not once but twice.
Made the sex tapes with Paris Hilton that going off memory, Fred Durst tried hitting her up while he was in the middle of knocking it out.
Made millions while being a professional poker player….
Not a bad haul for not really being a celebrity.

Aimo Koivunen, a Finnish soldier during World War II who, in March 1944, survived a two-week, 400-kilometer (250-mile) skiing ordeal while heavily under the influence of a massive methamphetamine overdose.
His journey, often dubbed the "speed-fueled" survival odyssey, involved navigating the Arctic wilderness, escaping Soviet patrols, and recovering after a catastrophic injury, making it one of the most incredible tales of human endurance in military history.
The "Crazy" Chain of Events
The Overdose: While retreating from Soviet forces in Lapland with his ski patrol on March 18, 1944, Koivunen became exhausted. As the carrier of the unit's supply of Pervitin (an early form of methamphetamine issued to keep soldiers awake), he tried to take one pill but, due to extreme cold and shaky hands, ended up consuming all 30 pills at once.
Delirious Speed: Instantly fueled by the massive dose, he skied far ahead of his unit and the Soviets before passing out. He woke up alone, 100 kilometers (62 miles) from his squad, with no ammunition or food, yet driven by a hallucinatory, meth-induced energy.
Survival in the Wild: For the next two weeks, Koivunen wandered through the frozen, snow-covered forests, pursued by Soviet forces and suffering from hallucinations. He survived by eating pine buds and, in a particularly visceral moment, managed to catch a Siberian jay bird and ate it raw.
Landmine Incident: During his retreat, he skied over a Soviet landmine. The explosion severely injured him, blowing him into a ditch, where he lay for another week, moving in and out of consciousness in -30°C temperatures, yet refusing to die.
Recovery and Aftermath: Against all odds, he made it back to Finnish lines. Upon rescue, he weighed only 43 kg (94 pounds), and his heart rate was still a staggering 200 beats per minute (three times the normal human heartbeat).
Aimo Koivunen survived this ordeal, the war, and lived to the age of 71, passing away in 1989.
