This series follows the drama and hardships experienced by four Alaskan households in different corners of this merciless territory as they battle to make it through a long, dark, freezing winter. The huge US state of Alaska boasts some of the world’s most deadly weather, with temperatures regularly plummeting to a lethal -80 Fahrenheit, freezing exposed limbs in minutes. Yet it is also home to some of the toughest, most resilient, most isolated people in the world. Life is all about survival in the face of unrelenting weather, scarce resources and man-eating carnivores.

Loved this show when Glen V was part of the show also when the Hailstones were there, but now that Glen was fired and the Hailstones have disappeared, I will no longer be watching. Disney screws up all of my favorite things star wars is garbage now and I'm sure that they will kill guardians of the galaxy next.

Outstanding show. I'd buy it if it wasn't on Disney. I'll have nothing to do with a company that supports pedophiles and Child molesters.
