If you are talking about the kilchers in homer AK, I did odd jobs for the family almost 20 years ago and spent a lot of time around parts of the family. I'm not familiar with the show.

Fuck Alaska...it's cold up there. I'm all about living outdoors, but I don't want to live anywhere where going outside without a bunch of clothes and survival gear means imminent death.
I think I'd like to try to survive in Fiji. |

From my little bit of google fu and searching the "Kilcher homestead" is far from the tv show! While it may be a homestead in name, it is a living museum rather than a real live homestead.
It is a place where folks can go and pay a fee to see how it used to be. Basically a historical site! Also the place is not so far from town as the show leads you to believe. But hey it is still a show and provides entertainment. So there is that! |

All in all, if they do twice as much in real life as to what they do on the show, they are roughing it more than 99% of arfcom. It hasn't turned into American Chopper yet, and is informal and interesting. With them doing such a thing, with the money they have, I give them even more props.

I don't want to live a dream existence where it's cold. Now, if you suggest that Ohio is as warm as Alaska (it's not), or file down the criteria for comparison to suggest that they're pretty similar, we're still left with a reality which is the accuracy of my statement. I don't want to live a dream existence where the winter will kill me without ample provisions to fend off the temperatures. That's true, well, everywhere in Alaska. It's true in Ohio too, but I never said I was living in my dream location did I? No sir. This thread is about moving to a neato place. I prefer the equator to frostbite. /argument. |

I missed the first episode, but the commercials for it looked interesting. By the sounds of what you're telling me, I suspect they're just camped out in the woods behind Wal-Mart. Fucking TV.... |

Yeah, it's all cold. Especially compared to Fiji, where walking out into your yard at any time during the year will not endanger your extremities. That's actually not true. There were a couple times last winter where it was colder here in Florida than it was at my place in SE Alaska. I guarantee you that Ohio was colder than both. I've hunted in Prince of Wales island. It was much warmer there than anywhere in Nebraska at the time. Alaska runs a pretty big swath on the climate scale. Don't the non-cold places tend to be pretty muggy and buggy? |
