Life Below Zero

I really look forward every week for this show, among my other dramas and comedies and such. But Life Below Zero, is one of my top 5 of the week. I compare it to two other shows which both happen to end with "Men", and this is BY FAR my favorite. out of 3. I am always rewinding and sometimes it takes me 2 hours to watch an episode. Please keep this show on. Thank you. 10 out of 10!!! This is one those shows that can take you away from what is going on in your life as of now. So some one could label it a fantasy-reality documentary-drama. When I sit back and dream of getting away from it all, this all, I see myself going and living a life like the Bassich couple, a lot of work but that is what keeps them, & everyone, warm. Remember it's life below zero.

Sue Aikens relentlessly pretends like her survival depends on hunting fresh game and living off the bounty that the land provides. This is just absolutely laughable and insulting. Let me take a step back, I love this show and the major majority of the cast members. There are people like the Hailstones that utilize everything they harvest, repurpose ,consume, and make no exception to do otherwise. These people truely live a subsistence lifestyle. They have my utmost respect, not that it even really matters to them because they are leaps and bounds beyond me, but they do. Now, we have Sue "Narcissist" Aikens. I've pretty much wore out the mute button on my remote when she starts flapping her tireless jaws. Unlike everyone else in the show she gets regular deliveries of fuel, food, and countless other items she may request via airplane. The most insulting episode was when sue had to empty the contents of i think three deep freezers into a river which looked to mainley consist of cryovac meat from costco and largely commercially acquired food stemming from a life threating collar bone accident. And furthermore, sue put down your guns you dont need to hunt anyway and all you do is wound animals. Shooting off their antlers, tail, lips, hooves it's a joke and so is everything that comes out of your mouth. Quit pretending like you can even hold a candle to what everyone else can do in the show. I dont criticize many people as I am FAR from perfect but sue is something i really feel I need to comment on. 😁

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 always fast forward past the always-arrogant Sue as she climbs on the roof and says she's food for the grizzlies. What a bunch of made up drama. The others are very enjoyable....especially Agnes and her husband and kids.

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!
