Synopsis

In 1980, the U.S. government banned new human occupation in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, a protected area, home to thousands of native animals and pristine terrain spanning roughly the size of South Carolina. Currently, only a handful of families spread across seven permitted cabins are allowed to remain in the refuge. Within less than 100 years, all remaining permits will reach expiration, and there will be no human presence left.

archeryinsurance Absolutely admire these families living and surviving in Alaska. During the time of the year where there is no daylight what do you do? I live in a in typical small town USA. During bow season for deer my wife is kind enough to let me take the 38' 5th wheel with 5,000 watt generator and live in the middle of the Manistee National Forest in Michigan for two weeks then in an RV campground with electricity, water and cable for the other two. It is something I look forward to but by the end look forward to returning to civilization. How do you maintain your enthusiasm and positive outlook?
scottm-79997 I like this series but some of the information about living in Alaska is missing. I visit Alaska frequently, with a son and two grandchildren there, plus I have worked for two Alaskan Native-owned companies and have been in some remote sites and villages where tourists do not visit. Even though these featured families at permitted sites have a subsistence lifestyle (as do many remote villagers) for food and even lodging, they need some income for all their personal clothing gear, firearms, ammunition, traps, canoes, boats, snow machines, dog sleds, store-bought camp essentials (pots, containers, spices, construction supplies, rope, and so forth). I do not think that selling furs from a trap line and the annual Alaska Fund payout are enough to cover all these expenses, not to mention the health care costs when someone is hurt or sick and has to go to the hospital in Fairbanks or the aircraft visit resupply expense. I do not think they are allowed to pan for gold with these permits, so how do they cover their expenses beyond the subsistence food and lodging?
cccody There is still HOPE for Reality TV Shows! A refreshing break from "Scripted Versions" of Reality TV. The Last Alaskans consist of wholesome, innocent, family friendly values. A Reality TV Show this is SAFE Family Entertainment. Our family enjoys all aspects that is covered in this program. The producers perform a wonderful job covering the beautiful land of Alaska and the families abilities to survive rugged nature. True Faith and Grit is the core of the raw gut strength to live this lifestyle! They are true survivors! Thank you to the families for the willingness to share their lives with us! Also, Great job to Animal Planet! I look forward to a New Season!
Hunter Mabee This show is so interesting and it's super super fun! It really makes you understand how these families work, and live and what these guys have to do to really survive! There is moments in the show where you get tingling up your spine, because you realize what kind of moment they are in! I understand each episode is 1hour long, but I really wish there was longer segments of each family!The families go through so much, and you really see what their going through!All in All. AMAZING show. I want more please :)I love the characters, and to see these older men doing what they are doing is 10/10
