About Life Below Zero:
Life Below Zero follows six people as they battle for the most basic necessities in the state with the lowest population density in the United States. Living at the ends of the world's loneliest roads and subsisting off the rugged Alaskan bush, they battle whiteout snow storms, man-eating carnivores, questionable frozen terrain, and limited resources through a long and bitter winter. Some of them are lone wolves; others have their families beside them. All must overcome despairing odds to brave the wild and survive through to the spring. And when spring arrives in Alaska, rising temperatures bring mounting challenges as they work to prepare for yet another winter.

All these people in this video are so amazing. I love how they respect everything about the land and how they respect one another. It's also so refreshing not to hear foul language like we hear everyday in the lower 48. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE IN THIS VIDEO AND MAY GOD GIVE THEM ALL A LONG HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE.

[@user-hi4vo1cn7r]

Amen!

[@cornelliacrum74]

National Geographic you really blew me away this time. If you really want to authentically show Alaska and it's beauty then show me the first indigenous people. Not millionaires not having a clue or appreciation for the land, customs or traditions or even their struggles. Show me hard working indigenous people who have the utmost respect for the land and all it has to give. Show me their day to day struggles. Show me their respect for nature. Show me a proud people unlike another group on earth!

You are so right. It is past time for us to have critical conversations and discussions about the First Alaskans because of their culture, heritage, respect and authentic love for nature. Thank you for sharing their day to day struggles and for reminding us of what's really important. I am just thankful the truth is finally being shared by those who eat, sleep, breath, survive day to day. Well done National Geographic! Thank you!

During the world war's we had several canaries to provide USA soldiers withn canned salmon. We had four cannerys from mouth of the Yukon River up to St. Mary's...but there all shut down. Our commercial fisheries are all closed since 1998, so we're dependent on donations from Alaska Department of Fish and Game and helpful donations from Bristol Bay. Thankfully we are still abe to continue our subsistence way of life. PRAISE THE LORD.
