Movie Theater Life below zero

[perkantino]

Anyone watches it?
The dependence on guns for these people is second only to the military, especially precision weapons, but yet, I see half-baked setups all over the place.
Missing a 400 yard when you needed the meat for the whole winter to me is irritating watching this show. Or having an iron sighted mosin nagant for a hunting rifle when the rest of your gear (Snow machine...bob cats)
is top notch. I mean they are attempting 300 yd movers with irons and then complain that they couldn't bag a moose before the advent of winter.
Anyone else find this hard to watch sometimes?

 

[HD-Ghost]

No. Never heard of it. I take it that this is in Canada, Alaska?

One would assume that if your life depended on it; you may want to upgrade your firearm.

Good show, extreme living.

There are plenty of examples,
This is one of them:
Keep in mind the hailstones below are better equipped than some of the other folks on the show.
But what I find interesting is almost everyone on that show doesn't know much about shooting (range, wind, equipment) when their survival depends on it.
The other stuff though, snowmobiles, chainsaws, top notch!

This kid at least knows what he is doing. Everyone else doesn't seem to, at least rifle wise.
By the way full episodes are available on the Nat Geo channel on Youtube

No never watched and have 0 desire to but its a TV show with a producer, director and script. Alaska TV shows are stupid at best, full of lies and not real Alaska. There are casting calls and the phone, address all contact info is in Kalifornia, not Alaska. When you go to these casting calls they ask for odd, peculiar, drama filled lifestyle Alaskans and ask if you can act as an odd out there Alaskan type. The TV hollywoodland shows in Alaska are not true Alaska and living. You do not interview with Alaskans but a producer from Kali. True Alaskan hate these shows and do not support them, wish they would go away.

While I cannot comment on the show, bush life is different and if you do not live in the bush or even in Alaskan then you do not know and will not understand, this is why these shows are made for south 49 urban TV watchers to go OOOOOOO Alaska. Rifles are a tool just like a hammer and saw not much to think about but a snowmachine, wheeler, boat is priority to live and way of life much more so the a rifle. Shooting skills to live, range, wind, ballistic, while I cannot confirm as I never seen the TV show, bush rats are hunters meaning they are skilled at hunting not shooting and none of them go hungry. According to Rod Perry AKF&G, the average shot taken for hunting in Alaska is 250-275 yards and 36% of all game taken is with a 30.06 so how much long range ballistics customer rifle kit skill does a meat eater need. Missing a shot on the show for meat, already have their meat and its scripted to miss. Tier 1 and Tier II subsistence hunting, will not get into the politics but thank you very much Tony Knowles and Katie John.

My point, what is Noorvik is in the Northwest Arctic county, this is written by a non Alaskan Kali TV show not someone who is an Alaskan.

Not to pop your bubble but its TV in Alaska made by and for outsiders, not Alaskans.

Dude some of the families on the show are pretty established in the community and have been for decades. So it's not like they just moved from California. After all Palin and her family had a show about Alaska, and I don't think they are from California, or they moved there for the show.
While I see your point in general, you might not be correct about this particular instance, especially because you don't watch the show. So you might not know what you are talking about in this case.

The other thing I ll say is most of the folks on the show live way north of the arctic circle (With no Internet to be commenting here), I am guessing it's a little more bushy than your run of the mill Alaska, so even Alaskans might have no idea what that's like because only a small minority of Alaskans live that far from population centers.

Hunting pard, Rick hunted w/ this guy last 3 years. HUGE fucking brown bear and 3 very good sheep. He's the real deal according to Rick. I'm sure the show is scripted, you'd be a fool to believe otherwise, but he makes his living guiding hunters and Rick endorses him highly. I watch it fairly often and get a kick out of some of the scenes.

This kid at least knows what he is doing. Everyone else doesn't seem to, at least rifle wise.

Yeah, which is what I was saying. It's hard to make an intelligent comment about a show you don't watch. This kid is no hollywood actor, he is well known in Alaska as a guide, and he lives in the bush, far further north than a lot of Alaskans would dare go. made a 500 yd shot for a wolf this season. Got him too (oh, that was a 223) Right on the spot, cameras rolling, not those hunting shows where it's all staged. These people skin animals on camera, something a lot of hollywood actors would faint doing

There is reality tv, and then there is follow me with a camera so you can witness how I live. Running into wolves and bears you have to shoot on the spot on camera, I don't know how you can script that.

Has anyone been to a casting call for a reality show in Alaska? Everyone working for the TV show there is from outside, not Alaskan. The phone numbers go directly to Kali.Yes, there are few occasions with our current way to enlist Alaskan productions but its primary all from outside, not from Alaska. I did not say the people in the shows are not from Alaska I said the producer, director are and that these Alaska shows are geared towards south 49 urban TV watchers, not for Alaskans. All the AKns I know either do not watch or when do make fun on the shows. Several friends who are on reality shows filmed in Alaska to include captain on pilot episode of Deadly Catch, same reaction to scripted on here, not my words but his did say that some of the drama and such come from input from the director on the boat and this was one reason he did not except the contract, probably wishes now he did. Please do not bring up the Palins. If they have no interweb or phones or contact outside in the bush then how did they get on a TV show. I have been above the circle in the arctic bush, did not live but I have spent time there. I also have time out of the chain. While not so much recently as there is a push for more and more Ak tv shows, there were radio talk shows that had callers call in and make fun and what was in error on these shows. Sometimes the participants made calls too but since they were under contract, stopped.

The kid as he is being called, I am sure he is large and hard and all Alaskan as he and everyone says, good for him and I will support him at all he does but still these shows are all produced from outside and provided for entertainment for those who do not live in Alaska.

While I do not know everything this is me on the left shooting with Alaska production company with director and photog from Alaska.
