Life Below Zero

[Wanderer]

Anybody else watching it?

THIS is the about the best reality show for life off the grid in Alaska. Just watched the recording of this seasons second episode. The fall hunts for the cast members to stock up on meat for the winter. Shootin' moose, caribou, mountain goat and butchering up for hanging or the smoke house.

It's an honest show about people living the subsistence life in the Bush.

I'm diggen' it.

Love it. Not for me though. Maybe if I was a couple decades younger.

I really couldn't agree more on "reality" shows. Except for maybe Kamik Sue. I'm really wondering if she is a man in a lady costume?

Seriously though, Sue is a pretty remarkable women. But her hunting skills are atrocious. Anyone see the episode recently where she was out for a moose, and she called snowshoe hare tracks "moose tracks", and pointed out where the "moose" had been girding the bark from the shrubs right at ground level...which was also clearly done by rabbits!

The folks I really like in this show are Chip Hailstone and his wife Agnes! Talk about subsistence living! This family REALLY does it! I also gotta say, I really do think Agnes is incredibly attractive. Her little chin tattoo is awesome. I've been trying to talk my wife into one of those ever since this show first came on the air!

The thing I like about this show is it's authenticity. The Hailstone's are as down to earth as a family can get, and they just dive into their work without complaint...and they're all girls!!!

Chandalar, well besides being a bit far right anti-social, and more then a little weird, really is an example of pioneer living. Talk about living off the grid. I'm not sure anyone on the planet lives further off the grid then he does.

This is a great show! I can only imagine the big city film crews must absolutely hate filming these folks. Think they feel a little out of their element?

Just started watching a couple days ago. Luv it. A real reality show.

yep I have been enjoying this show and others about Alaska...the railroad show is interesting also! Tough way to live no doubt but there is something to say when you are able to provide and live off the land and off the grid in such a unforgiving enviroment!!

@ Sam

I have an almost uncontrollable urge to send Sue a set of Stoney Point shooting sticks!

Yup, fun to watch and makes a guy want to spend some time in Alaska. I think being a bit cooky is a requirement for reality shows and the producers definitely add in some drama. We could make some cool TV shows about little known (to the rest of America) things like ice fishing, smelting, bow fishing or spearing but the folks from Life Below Zero have to do it every day to survive.
