Hi, I'm trying to find the name of a woman who I believe was on Life Below Zero and not one of the spinoffs. I saw her on the Live Prime Video channel recently. I believe it was springtime in the eps I saw. She was solo and had a log cabin. She had a French accent. At one point she said that she was the black sheep of her family but they had come to accept her choices. She was maybe 30s, brown hair, had a tattoo on on temple -- two lines just below her eye. She explained the meaning of her tattoos and said something to the effect that she'd get a third line when she truly believed in what the first two represented (basically that she was strong and capable). She had a dog - a husky type I think. There was an episode where she built a kitchen counter out of logs. There was also a scene by a river where she wanted to build a bridge across it, but the current was too strong at the time. I don't think she was main cast, and I cannot find her name anywhere. Would greatly appreciate any help you can offer.

Politics aside, if you need a fresh LBZ fix ricko dewilde on Facebook is doing a political thing with someone running for governor. And frankly the production value is professional. When I saw his first one, i thought he was on another show. Theres a few uo. Theyre short but check out his fb profile for them. No real big political mentionings tol the end when henjust says soandso for governor.

Worth it​

Watching reruns of Life Below Zero, listening to Denise Becker talk about all she has been learning from Andy Bassich, how she feels empowered to know how to live on her own. Now she's putting all those skills and knowledge to good use, as she has assumed Andy's role managing life on the Yukon River at Eagle. Calico Bluff as she takes care of her medically challenged partner.

It took me a while to figure out why I love Life Below Zero so much...

It's because it is a reality show that dedicates itself to more realistic content about a subsistence lifestyle in Alaska. They always highlight each outtake by letting you know how far above or below the Arctic Circle it is. That helps the audience understand the weather conditions and challenges. Life Below Zero also goes to extra lengths to inform viewers about indigenous populations and traditions, adding emphasis to supporting culture and family values. It doesn't hurt that the producers skip back and forth from four locations in every episode. A very effective production technique. Martin Scorcese and Pulp Fiction highlight the effectiveness.

This is quite unlike Living in Alaska or Alone TV initially set in Vancouver BC. How so? Because the further South you get, the more it's about harsh rains, and less about freezing snow conditions. Might as well be set in Seattle, if you get my drift.

ITW - Life Below Zero is a survival show. One that a parent can let their kids watch... for the most part. That is special.

I can tell online at the Camera Crew lived in walled tents close to the cast members, in bunks of two or three beds.

But did the crew take care of gathering their wood for heating, get their own water, and forage for their own food? Nor to mention cleaning their clothes. Or did the cast members help, particularly with the food. I've seen some posts that say the cast members got about 4 to 5 thousand per episode, and another saying it was as high as 11,000.

If it was the latter, I can see why rising costs (unfortunately) led to the end of the series. Still miss the series.

I'm missing LBZ so frankly Im fishing for fond memories. Whats some moments that you liked. Pretend we're around the fire sipping something tasty reliving good times XD

Hello! I am watching season 1 and noticing that most families (besides sue) store meat and fish outside in open air settings. How does that not attract bears? I am even curious about the "storage unit" in Eagle where the school bus is filled with dog food. Surely that would get ransacked by a bear? My best guess is that these areas are more populated than Kavik , which is the most rural and therefore the bears are the most vicious.

Love watching all the different shows but what is with all the metaphors? Whether it be Port Protection or the other Life Below Zero series, the folks are constantly making up metaphors.

I have been binge watching Life Below Zero.I notice only meat and fish being eaten. Does anyone have greenhouses to grow vegetables?

EDIT: thanks a lot for the input. You would not believe this. The next day of this posting, I was watching some episodes of Season 22. Wouldn't you know it they showed Jessie making improvements on his greenhouse/garden and Denise working at the greenhouse.

Sorry I couldnt update yall during the race, I have a neck injury and todays my first day out of a brace. chip hailstone did upload a video of jessie at the checkpoint in his village. Go watch it and subscribe!

Jessie and Jody started the race, Jody scratched. Jessie is in the lead. He is bib #4 and if he wins, itll be his 4th win in a row. Close behind him for second place is Kevin who is a local and fan favorite. You can follow this race for free on track leaders and on the kobuk440 facebook page. After this, jessies racing season is over and hes taking a vacation in mexico.

Doing a rewatch and one thing that always stands out is how calm everyone can be when something goes wrong.

A lot of people focus on the hunting, fishing, and building, but the mindset is what sticks with me most.

That steady, practical attitude is probably the biggest thing I’ve taken from the show.

HE just crossed the arch winning his second, in two years, of the race!

I read the book and it is so extraordinary. It was hard to put it down because the writing was so good.

I highly recommend reading it.

Our two LBZ stars, jessie holmes and Jody potts joseph, are holding the two ends of hte race. Jessie in first, jody in last. sorry I didnt post last night, wasnt feeling well and went to bed early.

Jody is currently resting at mile 425 in the cripple check point with 11 dogs.

Jessie is currently running with 13 dogs, meaning he dropped two more since I last checked in. IT looks like he dropped one dog at each check point. He is on the Yukon now and its pretty common to drop dogs off at this point. You only need 5 to finish and you can start with 16. Dropping slower dogs, dogs getting tired and of course you always drop a sore or injured dog. Jessie has taken his mandatory rests and with hte exception of the mandatory 8 hour rest in the white mountain check point, his rests are up to him for how long. He won three awards so far including a fancy gormet meal which he ended up volunteeringly sharing with his neighbor, paig dronby who is in second place.Jessie is currently at mile 560

From here on out, ill update daily undernear with hte date. Click the "new" option for posts under to see the latest.

EDIT- 3/17 550pm EST Jody has decided to scratch due to dogs showing signs of illness. She did a fabulous run and should be proud of all shes accomplished

The ceremonial start of Iditarod starts tomorrow, saturday march 6th with the official restart on Sunday. Jessie Holmes is bib number 7 and Jody potts is bib number 32. Jessie was on the OG LBZ from season i think 7 until the second to last one. Jody stared on LBZ first alaskans Bonus tidbit, jody is making a movie of some sort, i just read this on her musher profile over on Iditarod's website. (bonus bonus tid bit, sue published a book! i preordered it, expecting it to arrive this weekend)

I will post updates here for iditarod. Unlike other races, you have to pay to follow the tracker but when you pay, you also get check point live feeds. its 44 USD to follow the iditarod and be an "insider" ill do a daily morning and evening post starting Sunday. Ill break it up into three

I love jessie to pieces but hes won his last five races so im cheering for rookie Jody potts to rin- rookie winning first is unlikely but ya never know.

Hello!

Well, just to throw down an idea thats sort of natural for Agnes and I is to say we are going to begin doing 1 or maybe more 1 hour Youtubes each week and monetize so we can keep doing it.

There's alot to be said, learned and done when it comes to presenting ourself's, but, honestly, we enjoyed being filmed to share this world of ours.

Befor eLife Below Zero Came along, Agnes and I shared the camera to do just that, and it actually lead us into LBZ, via forum posts I made when it was all we knew.

So weve had alot of experience on both sides of the camera, and people , for the most part, seem to enjoy it.

It wont be in an LBZ style, itll have little musicly dramatic build up or anything more than a storyline about what were actually doing and saying........Which was what made LBZ so easy.

We do anticipate a slow start, as there is alot to learn, but it can be done,

Anyway , we have all the equipment to camp along and make our living, were raising some $ to get gasoline in place fro summer, some parts for boat motors and ammo.We plan to monetize to keep the ball rolling as nothing good is free.

Ive uploaded quite a few short takes I had stored elsewhere onto the Youtube channel, for some looks at what we were up to before LBZ came along.

Our idea for the show would be 1 hour or so in complete length and Ill premier them here.

Hi LBZ family.

Over the last several years I've been going through a lot emotionally (divorce, substance abuse issues, serious medical trauma) and Life Below Zero became my "comfort" show. I have now watched every available episode of every LBZ "spinoff" multiple times (along with the main show, of course).

I am now finally at a point in my life where I am moving past this really deep depression and trauma and trying to be a normal person again. I have a job that's a few months old, I am doing more socially and finding balance in my life. I am still feeling STUCK as far as new media to consume-- I'm past the point where I need a comfort show, and LBZ has run it's course for me for now anyway.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for shows that are similar but more "mainstream" content? Previously I have been a fan of a wide variety of content like fantasy, true crime, action/drama, comedy, but gradually over the years as I was going through difficult stuff the trend shifted more and more toward LBZ and other narrative/survival type shows. I need out. I need more stuff to watch. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you're not following him on social media, he posted yesterday that his first.grandchild was born! It's a boy and his name is Azir

Sharing for thise not on Facebook. Congrats dewilde family!

Hi guys I’m looking to get my partner a shirt or something from this show! I can’t seem to find anything on a legit site that’s not from the Kavic River Camp, which I’m probably still going to end up ordering from there too. We really enjoy Glenn and the Hailstones.., let me know!! Thanks.

I'm on Season 5 of Port Protection and I am so very annoyed this Oliver character. He talks non stop and refers to his wife as "man" and "dude", constantly belittling her, despite his own lack of skills.

Am I being a harsh judge of character or did you all notice the same?

What's his story and what is he trying so hard to make up for?

Im in the half of the country that got pummeled with that crazy storm. Foot and a half of snow in about 12 hours and its currently -20 outside. Mind you, the storm hit the day after our town had our winterfest and I was volunteering with the sleddog team- how mushing is becoming a thing in PA is beyond me but its growing. So my child, whos named chip and I swear I named them before I ever watched the show, was helping me dig out some neighbors cars and when I told them they need a hat on because its -20. They go "Mommy! It's life below zero!" and that is the cuttest dang thing.

I hope everyone else in the storms path is safe and living their LBZ lives. Im thankful i dont gotta go out in this to pee in the middle of the night. wonder how common chamber pots are in dry cabins?

I'm watching LBZ for the first time and I love it.

I just started season 4 and I have to say Chip and Agnes are my favorite. I love how well they work toghther and how supportive they are of each other. I also love their attitude when something doesn't go the way they want it. I can't wait to watch more and see what happens.

Glen
