National Geographic’s Braving alaska Imagine living hundreds of miles from your nearest neighbor, having groceries and mail delivered by airplane a few times each year, and battling long, harsh winters with temperatures that plummet to -51 C. Such are the living conditions chosen by the hearty few who inhabit America’s last frontier: the alaskan bush - a spectacular land of rivers and mountains so remote that many remain unnamed. Through the cameras of National Geographic, you’ll enter the lives of four families who have turned their backs on civilization to fulfill their dreams of living off the land. Join these modern-day pioneers as they face the daily challenges of survival - hunting for food, staying warm, and fending off grizzlies. You’ll experience America’s pioneering spirit through these remarkable people who are BRAVING alaska!
Customer Review: Awesome
I watched it several times in the few days since it arrived. This video gives a real picture of what life in the alaskan bush can be like. Although there’s not an abundance of formal teaching, it’s very informative seeing how these bush families live, eat, hunt, get supplies, and get along.
