Great show!
I'm really enjoying this glimpse into the Kilcher family's 600+ acre homestead and their self sufficient lifestyle in the Alaskan wilderness. Very interesting how they originally came to be there. Eighty years ago the first Kilcher fled war-torn Europe with his wife to establish an independent life in America, and their descendants are carrying on that tradition. Farming in Virginia is tough enough for our family, but nothing compared to the Kilcher's daily struggle to survive. I'm cheering them on, especially through those interminable winters. I'm as far north as I care to be in the Shenandoah Valley.
A Must Watch !
This show takes you back to a time when we wanted and needed family, and worked for our own survival, not for material value. An honest living, true happiness and satisfaction. Making it through life's struggles together ... and in such a savage and beautiful place ! There is still a little bit of it left in all of us !
I have always loved a pioneering spirit
The Kilchers seem like a very honest, intriguing and down-to-earth family. I can't wait for season 2. I hope there is more about Eve's garden. I would love to see how she does it. Also, I hope to see a trip to town, with dialogue about how often they go to town and for what purposes. I'm also ready for them to publish a recipe book. Some of those meals they show look delicious.
Even with the contradictions, I'm a huge fan. Eivan says he has no running water, yet he and Eve are washing a plucked chicken under a spigot of running water. He says he has no electricity, but I see solar panels on the side of his house and a power meter on the side of Atz Lee's house.
Love the show!
