the change in Bob from the first season sure documented the decline in his health. It must have been a tough trip for Heimo to go to his cabin.

Watch it. It would be one thing handling the cold in the winter, but how about the constant darkness.

There is a book out on Heimo's life in the Arctic, it's called the Final Frontiersman if anyone is interested in such. I watch a number of these Alaskan reality tv shows and The Last Alaskans is about as real as it gets. I watch Life Below Zero because it's pretty entertaining, one of the characters, Glenn Villeneuve is a very hardy guy, does everything by hand and is a good hunter, unlike that dingbat Sue Aiken of Kavik River Camp, she is quite the opposite.

Must have been pretty tough going thru bobs cabin. No neighbors and the closest person is a 50 mile ride by boat. He ain’t kidding when he says “if these walls could talk”

Great show, one of the more real ones on tv vs the all drama crap reality tv that seems to prevail.

Never heard of it before. Will have to go back and watch last season and then start recording the new ones as it sounds right up my alley!

Ya I really liked watching it when I had cable. I also enjoyed life below zero.
Are these or any similar shows available on Netflix?

I grew up eating a lot of wild game. And I eat way more now then what I used to. Elk, moose, deer, and every couple years I usually smack a bear. I bet these guys couldn’t eat beef now. Don’t get me wrong I like beef, but I’ve really enjoyed cooking and eating wild game the last 10 years. My kids love it to so it’s easier on that end as well.
