Life Below Zero

Im so tired of Sue pretending how dangerous her living is, and how self sufficient she is. She lives on a treeless prairie. A wolverine is not a predator to humans. Lone wolves do not attack humans. She has 90 percent of her food delivered. 100 percent of her heat and electricity are deliered by fuel planes. I live in suburbia. I chop wood for use in a woodburner, and have a large garden as well as hunt deer. Im more self sufficient than her. Lol. She doesnt even walk anywhere..even to hunt. She rides her ATV everywhere. Where i come from, ATVs are not permitted to hunt, and the geography is mountainous and heavily wooded. She rides up and shoots a caribou and paintsca door, and repeats what a hard life it is. Hilarious.

Bassich is a horrible person, mean, ugly and rude to the women. No one should be allowed to profit from being so rude. No excuse for it!

I agree with the person who earlier wrote about the editing of the show. It would be better if they didn't recap every time they cut back to a camp or a family. The fact that this is a reality show should be enough. Some of the editing of the hunting sequences where they don't even try to make it look more real ie they show Sue with an AR hunting and then the next scene she has a bolt action rifle or a shotgun same thing with the other families. If they would try a little harder it would allow us to have more footage, which we know they have, of the people's lives and less of recaps and silly mistakes made by the editors like the type of trap they're setting one time is a Conibear the next scene in the same set it's a jaw trap come on folks.This show is so very interesting and informative. The Halestones are such a refreshing sight to see ,a Mother and Father teaching skills passed down over the years to their kids at the same time dealing with the reality of the modern electronic age. Sue is so great dealing with her fears and set backs and always moving forward. Eric I have no problem with. He is just earning a living while helping with the conservation of the land by harvesting fur legally in such a manner as to control populations of fur bearing critters. the show Would be a 10 if not for the producers and Editors mucking it up at times. Oh and 1 more thing,Chandler being naked every time possible is so funny.God bless the cast and the crews shooting them.

I am not a hunter and live in suburbia like most of us. This show allows me a glimpse into the lives of people that have chosen a different life and I enjoy this a lot. I am disappointed by some of the other reviews that (mostly) incorrectly portray information as factual this more opinion based. The use of profanity, I think, is understandable when failure of equipment or to complete a task has potentially catastrophic side-effects. It's very different for us if the vacuum cleaner stops working. Much more of an inconvenience - no real harm done.

If you enjoy looking at wonderful arctic/sub-arctic scenery, are open to the choices and transitions of others and can put up with the repetitive editing style, then this is a show you should thoroughly enjoy.

Am I the only one who can't stand listening to Andy being so impatient with his wife? My goodness... she puts up with a lot from him. He talks about life in the suburbs as though it's beneath him and that "one can't truly know themselves until they live out in the bush". My guess... Andy isn't very good with other people and he cannot function in society. Anyway, the rest of the show is pretty good, looks realistic and it's really about a lifestyle choice. Living in the city versus out in the bush isn't about one being better than the other, it's about what each of us wants out of life. I suspect a couple of the other people on this show are living so far from society is that like Andy, they find that type of life too stressful as well.
