Blackbriar 8,569 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Anyone watch this ? It's about subsistence living in Alaska, and I've got quite into it ! I particularly admire Sue Aikens. She lives at Navik River Camp, 195 miles inside the Arctic Circle, on the northern Alaskan coast. She is a hunt guide and runs an aircraft refuelling stop - the nearest neighbour is over 500 miles away, and she lives utterly alone for 290 days of the year ! Worth a watch...Weeknights Travel Channel 10pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Worth a watch...Weeknights Travel Channel 10pm. That's another of the current drama-out-of-everything series currently on. Strange woman though. She decides to live there, then it's all "If i don't get enough fuel, i'll freeze." "If I don't shoot enough caribou I'll starve." "If the bears get in they'll eat me." "If I don't get any headache pills dropped off...I'll have a headache." No shit sherlock! For someone supposedly self-sufficient, she doesn't half have the old boys with the plane risking themselves to bring her something she's forgotten. Wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of her, mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,971 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I watch it, she seems like a good old sort that Sue.......that Glen is an interesting dude, that f****r really is off grid !

I know these things have to be made as dramatic as possible, but it's still a hell of a life - formidable woman !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,971 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Last I saw old Chip was waiting to be sent off to the nick and was on bail pending appeal.......the whole family had a row with another lot and it all went boss eyed.......I bet that was real Jezza stuff ! Lol I think Glen genuinely can't hack civilisation or the responsibilities that go with it........fair play to him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
