[@chaoswebz]

This guy is far from a stereotype, friendly, knowledgeable, and smart and not just smart in the sense of knowing how to survive well, but seems to be smart in general. Really interesting documentary, thanks Vice.

[@nicklopez9920]

10:07 😂

[@toptwitchclipz7928]

i think the reason he is so smart is because he was born in general population, he wasnt born in the wilderness. he went to a normal school/highschool, had a job before he even thought about coming into the wilderness. Like he said, he didnt come out there for the first time until he was 19 and that was working with a hunter helping him package meat from the game he hunted. so it goes to show you, you don't need to be born into a life like this, you can create a life like this.. yes it will be hard, he said many many things he did when he first got out there were just trial and error until he learned the proper sufficient way to do things. I think anyone is capable of doing what he is doing as long as they understand the dangers and risks they are taking.

[@grizzlycountry1030]

Better documentary is braving Alaska or read the book written about him (heimo korth). He is also in show called the last Alaskans.

[@grizzlycountry1030]

@@toptwitchclipz7928 Completely disagree. Most kids raised in bush do exceptionally well in school and especially college. Most people can't handle living in the bush. You either break mentally, die, move out or stay. Very few make it out there or stay permanently out there.

[@bransoncarlton4939]

It blows my mind that the purity of this video is flamed by so many on here. It's like the public is totally unaware of the food chain that they subscribe to- and that killing is not involved. They feel they are insulated from life feeding on life- because they did not see, nor kill the meat they put in their guts. This Man is living a pure existence- as natural and compassionate as possible. He does not relish or gain entertainment from killing. The rabbit experience only a few moments of pain. He suffered little.

[@KEYandNATURE]

Truth. Unless you have to hunt for food you should go vegan.

[@Colstonewall]

+Branson Carlton If these same people who are complaining about the way these Alaskans feed themselves (by hunting) would take a look at how the food they eat is kept and mistreated then killed, they would keep their big mouths shut. . . Take a look at how chickens are bred and kept for the food industry. They spend all their lives in a cage barely big enough to hold their body, then killed after suffering. Or, take a look at the Cattle (for meat) industry, and see how they are mistreated, and in my opinion tortured.

And i mean it actually takes practice. sitting in a tranquil environment is not effective with chaos in my mind from the usual mind chatter or the need to be entertained. learning the importance of moment to moment living. My efforts are aimed to hold a mindset that is whole, and needs nothing else to fill it. The wonders, the lessons of wild. I feel this hole inside me starting to fill up.

Excellent doco. The right questions were asked at the right time, not done in a offensive or overtly challenging manner. Thomas and the crew also got hands on to get really immersed in the experience which no doubt helped them get a true feel for the way of life there and all its challenges. The amount of hunting and trapping at first seemed excessive but I think in that environment being overly prepared and thriving is the way forward as if the weather closes in for months you're better off with plenty in the larder than to be caught out short. Understandable they still get in salad and rice as I guess a pure meat / fat / oil diet (as the surrounding environment would dictate as nothing else grows?) would get boring after time!

This little documentary was captured so beautifully, well done with how you managed to really show Himo and his lovely wife living their day to day life, it might be freezing in their neck of the woods but they both ooze such warmth and love, not only for one another and you guys filming but especially for their surroundings, not the first documentary I have watched with Himo and his family in it either, they are the same in them all. Good luck to them. Thank you for sharing your life with us.❤

he seems blissfully happy, his life has a more profound meaning than people can imagine, I would love to spend a week with this guy

... their first born girl. As a father I can't stop thinking about her drowning.

I just thought the same thing. That would be so difficult to deal with.

[@bingevintage8124]

that got me right in the feels im not a father but i can ony imagine how sad that must be

[@jscriber100]

Right. I think thats why they were blessed with two more who seem very healthy.

Hiemo-my hero. He had the guts to live his dream. I grew up in Wisconsin too and dreamt of living like he has. All I cared about as a kid was hunting and trapping. He has truly "lived" his life as did Bob and the others on the last Alaskans. Hat's off Hiemo and family.

It’s so crazy to think this guy is still up there. Would love to live up there with this guy for a while, would be so peaceful. I couldn’t do it for 35 years though

Now here in 2022 this man is the most likely to survive if the world goes to crap ......

Easily the coolest dude in the world. And teaching the kid to fish instead of giving him a fish. Mad respeck.

So sad seeing this couple remembering their daughter Great doco

This is one of the single most impactful, visceral documentaries I've ever watched

[@darkshad109]

I like that the reporter isn't a huntsman type, these survival shows where it's two 'experts' tend to be an awkward ego competition. This guy has the same level of survival skills as the average person, none.

[@Zking2010]

He strong pointed a 500 pound monster in a forest at night with a shotgun, what a beast

It’s so sad hearing about the daughter they lost in the canoe. Hard to imagine how tough it was living out there during that time Crazy to think their first daughter was born and died before I was ever born in ‘86

i remember my first fish it was a rainbow trout, and that night my uncle dave got a huge buck and i watched them skin it. snap its neck so all the spinal fluids came out and then we ate! so proud to be of aboriginal decent and to be able to learn and think like this!

This is my tenth time watching since last year. One of my all time favourites.

[@ryanschultz4119]

Heimo is a Legend!💯 When they turned the bear over, I was ROLLIN!!!😂😂😂 As I was watching this, I couldn't help but feel envious of the life Heimo & Edna have created. They are both so down to earth, kind, & independent. Makes me want to make the outdoors a bigger part of my life!

What an amazing way to live, what an amazing education their children must have had growing up, you wouldn't get that on a school curriculum.
