The Last Alaskans

[SoCalDave]

Started to re-watch this series again this week and the scene of Bob teaching his young Husky about traps was pretty interesting.

I'm ok with roads, and Von's a couple blocks away!

Not to mention central heat and AC.

Makes you wonder how the settlers did it, and not all that long ago. Tough life for even tougher people. Respect.

I agree 100%. For the vast majority were definitely a lot softer as a society. I’m pretty sure I would die if I had to trap my own food just to survive, lol.

I met Himo (sp) in Fort Yukon in 2012?? I was there staging, before a Dall Sheep hunt. He's the real deal

This is worth watching.

Friend of mine said the other night, take a look at schoolyard pictures going back 50 years to present....half the kids today are overweight.

Should give it a try, not staged like Alaska Bush People, that show is a joke.

We have watched a fwe episodes of "The Last Alaskans". We prefer the "Alaska the Last Frontier" and "Life Below Zero". We cannot stand Alaska Bsh People.

Even the Filchers are a bit phony and contrived for TV. They live not far from Ninilchik. I have a pal who runs 5 Halibut boats and is a hunting guide that lives there. He said to me that it is not uncommon, at all to see the Kilchers in town buying groceries or whatever.

Conversely, guys Heimo live pretty much 100% off the grid and independent of commercial support.

But I get it, I to watch "Alaska the last Frontier" and enjoy it.
