Yes, read Heimo's book and the other book that I believe was written by his cousin. It was about his cousin spending time with his citified daughter in a tent in the winter next to Heimo's cabin.

Great show. The only reality show on TV.
My mom loves it. She’s 98. To get her mad I put on Alaskan Bush People for about 30 seconds. She hates that show.

If you have seen "Alaska Bush People", you have seen the absolute worst of them all.......
Or, as I call it, "Short Bus Alaskans."

I tuned into the Last Alaskans once, hearing it was a reality show, I expected it would have a story of a laid off construction guy who had just been laid off after working his ass off for the season, showing up in town, buying a new rifle, going on a truly epic drunk, waking up a couple days later with tired looking lady of the evening, being kicked out of The Captain Cook, and finally discovering the only thing left in his wallet was an uncashed Alaska Permanent Fund check. But no, it was about some wierdos living in the bush with money from home. That's not The Last Alaskans, that sounds like Life Below Zero. Sue Aikens ruins that show for us.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

I watched it on Hulu. It's pretty good but it gets kind of monotonous.
The shows starts out with Heimo saying that his grandchildren will be the last ones to be able to live in ANWAR but then Tyler and Ashely somehow get to live there without any family association which doesn't make sense.

Alaska Bush People for certain. Dreadful.

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 said the best we've seen is a you tube thing can't think of the name. Guy in Canada builds a cabin off grid and keeps adding on. My perfect life might be the name.
Almost no talking. Just filming doing things out there. Very relaxing to us. Shawn James, My Self Reliance
