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.
Chip and Agnes are the only ones actually interesting as a family. All the others choose to be odd balls, but Chip and Agnes are doing this for their family. They are kind and respectful of each other. At no point do they belittle anyone.
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.
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 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.
