Alaska: The Last Frontier 6

Image 1 / 4

The new series of ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER continues to follow the Kilcher family and their unique and isolated homesteader community outside Homer, Alaska. The Kilchers, led by patriarchs Atz and his brother Otto, have cultivated and lived on their homestead for four generations. These men, and their wives and children, live off the land, racing the clock during the limited months of summer and autumn to hunt, fish, gather and grow enough food to last the harsh Alaskan winter. They battle extreme elements to gather enough firewood, ward off predators, complete projects for sustained shelter, and prepare their cattle herd for the eight months of cold and darkness. They proudly choose this rugged lifestyle with no indoor plumbing or electricity, in hopes that future generations carry on the family tradition of survival.
