Best Alaskan Show - feedback from the pros

[Mammoth Hunter]

Out of all the Alaskan shows on TV which is your favorite and why? Focusing mainly on survival and hunting/fishing/trapping, the stuff we like as hunters. I have to vote for Life Below Zero. I like how it jumps around to various rural locations and shows the lifestyle there. Also is shows failures just as much as successes for the activities. Hunting is always a main theme for the show. Haven't seen the Kodiak show yet but have watched many others - Yukon men, etc.

LBZ for sure

Alaska Outdoors TV. It's the only one that deserves the title of "reality show".

The eight to ten minuets of the Hailstone's each week LBZ,fast forward is a great tool. Also Alaska Outdoors.

Alaska Outdoors Television is really the only "Alaska" show I watch any more. Every once in a while I catch life below zero because of the Hailstones though.

That's a cryptic post. Can you clarify? We don't do TV around here, is Project Alaska a reality show? Also what do you mean by "one month float hunting Alaska's wild rivers"?

Rusted Rooster Production. Two Wisconsin Farmers -the Keefer Brothers- come to Alaska and float different rivers. They floated the Sheenjek their first season. They took a 30 day multiple species packtrain based hunt in the Yukon during their second season. This year they are floating down a river in SW Alaska. They generally use Larry Bartlett as their hunt planner for logistics, rafts, tents(they like the Arctic Oven Tents) so they have good gear. However, why a lot of Alaskans like it is that hunting in Alaska is tough and in a sense of Shadenfreunde (German Word meaning that we like watching folks suffer) these fellas get their behinds handed back to them. They have taken some caribou, a couple of moose and the jury is out on their current season but much of the show revolves them dealing with cold and misery which is just a part of life up here.
They have a very good film crew and the scenery is very good.

Sincerely,

Alaska TV shows are just too fake to enjoy. All of 'em.

"Forum Wars--Surviving Winter in the Far North" It is on every day almost all year. The cast of characters is limited to those who have internet/chair access. The only bad part about the show is having to read instead of just listen and watch.

Gary is lucky to be alive for sure. Seems like a good guy. Haven't caught the show but a couple times.....

Chip and Agnes.....the real deal as we all know. Sue needs a man......or a woman, whichever she's "into", so she doesn't go absolutely crazy up there someday.....(but it's probably too late......lol)

Marty seems like a pretty good guy that knows what he's doing. But (even tho no in AK.) I really like the old boy Tom. The rest of them I really don't care for. Rich is a nutjob that thinks his sh*t don't stink.

Did they cancel the other one.....what was it where they raced from place to place in different areas of AK...??? If they did I won't miss it.......pretty much a joke.

Watched ak outdoors twice, won't anymore.
LBZ, only watch it for the hailstones, I know that's real and I miss village life. The rest I can live without.
Not the kodiak guide show....ugh.
Not the mountain men
Ya pretty much don't like any of them....except LBZ.
