Synopsis

Viewers go deep into an Alaskan winter to meet six tough and resilient residents as they try to stay one step ahead of storms and man-eating beasts to make it through to spring. The closest neighbor to Sue Aikens is more than 300 miles away. Eric Salitan subsists solely on what he hunts and forages. Chip and Agnes Hailstone catch fish for currency in bartering for supplies, and Andy and Kate Bassich use their pack of sled dogs for transportation.

Reviews

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
abmgx First, the show and locations are interesting. However, the music and sound effects for such show are over-emphasized to the point of stupidity. How immature. Sci-fi sounds are for sci-fi shows.
Jason Baumer I think this would have been a pretty good show. The cinematography is great, the landscapes are picturesque, and the characters are interesting. The Hailstones, in particular, are fun to watch. The lifestyle they live and the father teaching his children to subsist is pretty cool.That said, the show is difficult to watch because of this guy, Erik, who is basically committing the wholesale slaughter of innocent animals. The guy is obsessed with meat, washes his hands in animal blood, and then tells himself its "subsistence" living right before saying he's going to sell the pelts for $20 - $40. The guy straight up kills any living animal he can find using a high powered assault rifle. Even canines. It's sad that he thinks its okay to step into the wilderness then kill everything in sight to "survive". If you really have to kill everything to survive, you shouldn't be there. Erik is simply destroying nature with zero respect. He doesn't deserve to be on NatGeo.
sgdptech First of all I'd like to say that parts of this show are beautiful and breathtaking, while other scenes are downright cruel and uncalled for. I'm all for subsistence living where you only kill what you need to eat, but when it comes to the taking of lives of Magnificent Animals such as Wolves, Lynxes, Wolverines, Beavers and Martins just for skinning them and selling their pelts...let's just say I consider it a Criminal Act. In the past, 300 or so years ago, it was a necessary and fundamental way of life, but nowadays...I just believe that it's all downright evil and inconsiderate! By the way, someone needs to tell Sue to stop overstating the obvious so much... and incessantly repeating the same lines over and over again.
planetdan1 How does a network allow a show like this? People causing erosion by trying to find bones to sell is the best thing they do. Senseless killing of animals strictly for their pelts and leaving the rest to rot. This show is horrific even for those of us who hunt. The personalities are hard to accept as most seem miserable and do nothing but try and convince themselves over and over that living in the wild is something great. The verbal abuse of one character to his significant other is sickening to watch.
