Lewis Family was mocked for Cindy and their daughters' eye conditions. They said to heck with that. Ray's gun is a Winchester 1895 30-40 Krag that was rebored by JES to 35 WCF. He is a very practical guy and works hard framing houses in the Summer in Fairbanks and they go trapping downriver in the winter.
Krin has a number of different guns. She has a 7 Rem and a 270 Win. She also has a 338 Win and she likes Rugers. Right now she tends bar at Tony's Bar at night and works part time with me at Sportsman's Warehouse. Heimo has a number of different rifles but likes the 788 in 22-250. They all carry sidearms up there as grizzlies are very aggressive and you don't ask questions later. Scott is funnier than heck in real life and works as a federal security guard at the federal building.
Bob was a very sincere and earnest guy. The show doesn't show his stepson Traver who teaches history with me at WVHS and who is 42 and is married with two kids or that he liked to drink a bit when he was in town. He wasnt an alcoholic but was nice. On his last day he called all of his friends together and they had a bonfire with beer and brats and sat around talking all night and he died the next day. I knew him from coming into SW and just talking about stuff. He was a real old breed trapper with a great skill set just not good at landing airplanes.

Most viewers are in the big cities and have never seen open spaces. The producers have to ensure the show is interesting to them, they are paying the bill. Alaska's handful of viewers are inconsequential to the show'a success. One might consider that fact that there is a lot of Alaskans that have never seen Alaska.

That's too damn bad about Ray and his family I really enjoyed his parts in the show.. seems like a real down to earth guy who loves Alaska. I thought Krin was married to a marine stationed in North Carolina. I haven't watched any new episodes this year.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

That’s too bad about Ray but I sure don’t blame him since I’d likely do the same thing to protect my loved ones. I have a great deal of respect for Ray and his family as I thought they were all very smart, capable people.
I also enjoyed watching Chip (caribou) and his family carry on the traditions of his wife’s family. There’s much honor in respecting the memories of those gone before us and using the knowledge they’ve passed down to continue living life in a harsh land.
I too miss Bob, his knowledge and the slice of his life that he shared with us.
I apologize for my forgetfulness but were Bob and Edna the couple that lost their young girl in the drowning on the Colleen? I deeply respected the pain and guilt they shared and marveled at their strength in the face of such heartbreak. I’m not ashamed to admit that I shed a couple of tears over their remembrances of their baby and the love the two of them shared.

Thanks for your reply and Merry Christmas to you all.

I didn't read or see it that way. Not giving you a hard time, just saw it differently.

If I remember correctly, Heimo and Edna had the name of the river changed to that of a daughter that drowned when they had a sweeper in the river overturn their canoe.
Our homeschooling course had a VHS back then of Nat Geo and Heimos family. ''Braving Alaska''.

Agree Hank, Heimo and Caribou would be great to listen too. The young man, Charlie Lagow on Last Alaskans really seems to be much wiser beyond his years and very talented.

Thanks for posting that. The Last Alaskans is one of my favorite of the reality shows. I really liked Ray and miss not seeing his family on the show. Bob Harte was a character, and he was my favorite on that show. There is a lot more to those people than we, the viewers, will ever know, and it's only because of someone like you, that knows them, that we find out more than we do. Thanks again.

The Last Alaskans is one of the very few shows I'll sit down and watch; don't have time for television.
In reference to the Lewis Family.....human beings never cease to disappoint me. I wonder how many would be willing to make a comment in front of Mr. Lewis?
Heimo and his wife Edna have always been my favorite, but I sure will miss Ray, his family and Bob.

Its still Hollywood. I wonder how many people would turn it to another channel if they knew that both Edna and Krin still chew quite a bit of snoose. I will never forget talking to Edna and the Discovery film crew director woman who produces the Last Alaskans at the Fred Meyer store and Edna goes over to near one of those garbage cans near produce and spit snoose into the can.
