Love the program mostly because I grew up in the interior of Alaska in a small town Delta Junction. The truth is if you plan on doing what the family does, be prepared to share, there's no room for greedy people there, also go up to Alaska the end of winter, first day of spring. That way you and your clan will acclamate to extreme weather changes. I plan on returning next year to build my house, and get my roots reestablished.

Georgia Garden Girl's Homestead

I so admire these folks for choosing to follow their "old" way life style. I use to yearn for this lifestyle. Deep inside I know physically my body could never withstand it. Just as I loved watching Little House on the Prairie growing up, I love watching and reading about Homesteading today. I guess the urge to survive must have came from my indian ancestors.

Hats off to all the men and women who live off grid in Alaska, the true last frontier. They have adventure and guts in their blood to be able to with stand the hardships and life 's many disappointments, that they run into. There life style has been forgotten by many people who only read and dream about it. The strongest can only make it out in the last frontier good luck.
