Braving Alaska

[@lenledwidge5367]

It is such a pleasure to see Edna and Heimo in their younger years with their young family. The kids have grown and moved away but manage to return to the homestead with Grand babies. These folks are # 1 in my mind. The very best to another season. Be safe and keep your tail up.

Hello, fellow fan of Heimo and Edna; I also enjoyed watching them younger, a pair of great people

[@LAWRENCESmannjr-tm5kn]

This is so crazy. At first I didn't notice it but when they said Edna's name I got so excited 😆 I absolutely love this family. Love watching KZbin videos and watching TV ❤. So awesome to see while younger ❤

The Alaska wilderness is no joke. Few can survive, you must be determined and strong

[@kingwithoutkingdom9270]

I agree 👍 💯

[@JMcDonaghVideo]

You can tell Edna is a fantastic mother and loves her children deeply. She got emotional about her lost daughter in the Vice Documentary too. They both seem like great people. They just love their lives differently from the rest of us.

Documentaries from the 70s through the 90s were much more "real" than they are today.

[@CulturedWhiteBoy]

+Austin Casey Back then, it was about people just showing what goes on in their daily lives. Now it's more about showing the extremes of everything. On Alaska The Last Frontier, instead of just showing a boring hunt, they want the people profiled to speak about the most dangerous things that can happen on a hunt. In other Alaskan shows, they'll show how to build a boat, let's say, and while building the boat which is impressive, they'll talk about a river that they fish in and what the worst things that could happen if they hit rapids or what could happen if they hit a rock and get flipped. I notice that a lot on Frontier, and it gets kind of old.

[@frankkolton1780]

+Austin Casey Most of the docs of the last 15 years of so, rely on sensationalism, their usual recipe is over loud dramatic music, overuse of quick "cuts", poor video photography, and often fringe type subjects, it's kind of sad, I had always thought that most of the sensational documentaries were geared to audiences 12 years old or younger, but it seems many adults watch them too. I avoid like the plague, clicking on any title with words like, aliens, dangerous, deadly, conspiracy, survival, and toughest.

[@CulturedWhiteBoy]

Frank Kolton I'm with you. Forget which Alaskan show it is, the one with the butch who lives way up north. The multiple GoPro 1 second shots and slow-motion stuff is annoying. I really don't need to see an oar picked up in slo-mo. And the "Well, if I don't kill it, it could very well kill me........if I were to walk in that direction right now without a gun, and the scent of a dead moose all over my body while I was waving my scent towards that dangerous bear who doesn't even know I'm here...." K ow what I mean? I'd rather hear how boring it can be and what kinds of stories you tell yourself out of boredom and if you have ever gotten naked in the middle of winter and made a snow angel because the cabin fever drove you nuts instead of over-dramatizing everything. "If we don't get a moose today, because winter is coming tomorrow, we will die." Uh huh.

Much respect for these brave people! This makes living in my cabin in Northern Michigan seem like a walk on the beach. I can still be alone in the woods for months at a time if I choose but I have great comfort knowing that I can drive to the local store or make a phone call if I have an emergency. I would imagine that living so isolated in such extreme conditions that it must play hard on the mind so one has to be very mentally tough and stable. I might have given it a try if I were a bit younger but I know my limitations and logic comes before emotions for sure.

This was my dream when I was in high school. I just couldn’t get hooked up with the right people to make it happen. My father was an outdoorsman and supported my desire. He said that I needed someone to show me the ropes so I could live like this. I was really infatuated with northern Ontario. We had travelled there several times. We were very near the tree line and of course the fishing was incredible.

The pilot is an absolute badass

[@mbradfo31]

I flew with Roger many years ago, before he went to Alaska to fly pipeline and then bush. He was a lot of fun and a really nice guy. The mountains and weather took him away one day like many an Alaskan pilot but it was great to see him again doing what he loved so much.

Alaskan here. Please forget about the "romanticism" of Bush life. It's brutal hard, unless you're fairly well-off to begin with( can afford regular Bush plane service, snowmachines, tools, boats etc) Unless you're on the road system, you can die out there before help can show up. The Bush is unforgiving of fools.

+Jack D. Ripper I live in Anchorage and love my trips to my friends mountain cabin when he's not using it. I hike a little and camp a little. After seeing what needs to be done & the cost of living "in the woods", I KNOW you are 100% correct about trying to live as a homesteader or off the grid in the Alaskan wild. *Natives* Some Alaskan Natives do have a problem with drugs like alcohol, meth, spice, etc. like all people. The uniquely cold environment up here contributes to this situation. I don't think addiction is due to race. Most Alaskan Natives that I have met are pretty neat people that are not addicted to anything except kindness. Happy Holidays.

[@robg3827]

This is such a beautiful way to live in such a beautiful place. It could be said these people are so much more advanced than modern lifestyles. They've retained a concept of what's really important on this planet rather than falling victim to what society and the media portray as the right way to live. I'm an environmental science student and it fills me with great happiness to know that these people still exist. People brave enough to exist away from the norm, people who respect the ecosystem within which they live and people who don't take what they have for granted. For anyone that loves such ideals should watch the film "into the wild", it really touches me, the concept of breaking away from society to find yourself! Or read the work of Richard Proenneke, a man that really inspires me to love and protect the planet within which we live.

[@rkay4998]

EXACTLY!! I am also an environmental science student and I crave that kind of lifestyle and respect the people who actually live that way. I hate living in the city, I hate everything about it actually! But I've made it my personal goal to live like that one day (permanently). And yes, "Into the wild" is my favorite movie of all time!

Rija Khan Just realize that the majority of people (including myself) claim so much, and then wake up and realize they are still "planning" 15 years later. If you are serious, do it now, otherwise I can promise you won't. That's the reason why every person in such shows say they started when they were like 20. Do it now or simply forget about it and figure something else out. Hate to be so blunt, but only those whom act NOW actually accomplish what you plan.

[@rkay4998]

@Kilgore Trout I completely understand what you mean, and you are 100% correct! But Im not even allowed to drive yet so I think I have a quite a while to plan xD but as I said before your comment is definitely something I will keep in mind and others who plan to live "away from civilization".

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.” ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

Single engine plane is always considered less safe than multiple engine plane. There are a wide variety of bush planes. Not many are well maintained or serviced by professional mechanic. They are flying in all kinds of weather in rugged terrain and landing on impromptu runways. They take more of a beating than planes the same age in other areas. So yes they are less safe or reliable than other planes. And as far as you working in -40 degree weather that's not really cold compared to temps in alaska or the lower 48.

Ew . For one I'm a certified proctologist now bend and let me put my finger in ther

Thank you National Geographic ❤️🙏!!!!

[@TroutWest]

Awesome show, wish they still made legit documentaries like this now. Instead it's only scripted crap like Alaskan Bush People and Life Below Zero etc

[@HuckOutdoors]

RoadTripVidz Yep!

[@Will-cv6xv]

I think Life Below Zero deserves more credit than you give it. Sure it's scripted but it's not overly dramatic like Alaskan Bush People. The reason those shows are different than this document is exactly that; tv shows have to be popular enough to bring in ad money, while documentaries are one time deals. If you want more, VUCE did an up to date documentary on Heimo Kroth.

+Arthur Dent I meant VICE not VUCE

[@Missfit3]

Alaskans last frontiers??? Idk

[@cougar2k720]

VICE and Discovery did follow up of each, Surviving alone in Alaska, as well as the last Alaskan both feature Heimo and Edna, as well as other people who live in ANWR

[@redazi1]

respect to all families that live there and i wish them the best

[@John19182004]

Gabriel - can you give us any updates on some of these families, including your own? I know the Korths still live out there, but what about you guys or the other families profiled??

[@gabek1381]

I don't know what anyone else is doing. My family moved to civilization so we no longer live out there. My brother and I live in the lower 48 and Karen and Randy live in Fairbanks.

[@TheAlhambralions]

John19182004 The kourts I think that's how you spell it were in another documentary by Vice that came out in 2009 they are still living out there. Their two daughters live in the city one is in college the other one works at a warehouse. The documentary is called Surviving Alone In Alaska by Vice I recommend it really good documentary.

[@dodgers7376]
