Alaska last frontier

[Karliboy]

I have Just been watching the above program on D Max and I’m absolutely disgusted at how he tried to get a new born calf to suckle let alone on how it was treated to tube it.
Has anyone else seen said episode and what is there view?

There seems to be a preponderance of "cowboys" as in the UK expression, on this programme. Missus is hooked, but I just watch and wonder at the behaviour of some of the participants... then leave the room!

I always ask the question to myself , “how do they get the money to pay for petrol that goes in their Quad Bikes?
In my opinion all completely made up to
create a tv programme.

We watch it and laugh especially the narration which is usually' if the cows or vegetables die the family will starve during the harsh Alaskan winter' to which the kids usually add or they could nip to the shops as the homestead is about 20 miles from town

Looking on the map we are further from a nearest large town than they are, Shropshire The Last Frontier ?

Of course it is filmed from one direction only so you don't see all the billboards for 7/11 and McDonald's

And new members of the "Cast" coming in I belive? I expect they open Supermarkets and teh like as a sideline...

I think you can visit or even stay on their homestead, paying of course.

It's like Gold Rush 'sponsored by Volvo' and a lot of these programmes they're unreal reality tv
