I'm sure a lot of the Alaska-subject reality shows are partially or completely staged. But I can't help myself. It's like deciding not to go bug-eyed when you see a beautiful model, even though you know the majority of "her" is a result of plastic surgery. I've always wanted to go to Alaska. Probably won't ever happen. These so called reality shows are like a travel adventure for me. So I'm hooked. I get to live the life vicariously. Thanks for the pics of the Kilcher family in the parade. I like their show........and while I know some of it is over the top just for entertainment, a lot of what goes on is for real life. Seem like a good and wholesome group. Now as for the Alaskan Bush Family................................................

In the movie..Never Cry Wolf, good footage was tweeked, only a part of the truth was told. Yes, wolves can and do live on small vermin, but only for the time that they have pups in the den and can't roam as far. This whole movie a PC propaganda show that helped pave the way for the re-stocking of wolves. It helped sway votes and garner donations and such.. The media has vast power, no over sight. Truly, the 4th branch of the Govt now. Make your popcorn, enjoy the cold or two, but..remember. interestingly, the French have wolves in the alps, and they monitor them and they pay farmers for sheep killed and eaten by wolves. the biologists say that a full sized adult wolf kills and [mostly] eats 38 sheep per year !!! so, yes, Farley Mowat, they eat field mice etc. by that reckoning a wolf would probably eat a few million field mice each year !!! sheesh

Snyd,
Do you know if the Kilchers homestead can be reached by truck? Or do they actually have to bring everything in by water?

I'm pretty sure it's all real, I went thru Kentucky last year and my sister warned me about the Amish mafia. Why would they lie?

You mean the two babies born while I've been watching were just fake "Hollywood" babies? And the fall off the cliff and all the broken bones and rehabilitation was just something they dreamed up? Have they been shooting at fake deer and bear on those shows? It's just awful, what a let down. (sarcasm)

Yeah I confess I watch outdoor alternate reality shows. Most of them are entertaining and occasionally a good idea is presented. However combined with making a big deal out of many non isses and some really dumb and risky dangerous behavour it is pretty clear the producers are pretty weak on the subject matter. Also lately I notice the trend is to feature..well loosers. I mean I may move out to the off grid sticks again some day but it won't be because I am some anti social guy who can't hold a job. These living at poverty make do with nothing deals are weird.

We have a tv, but no tv reception or cable. Just Netflix at $7.99 a month.
