Mountain Men: Alaska is a new spinoff that focuses on those brave enough to live in America’s last frontier. Alaska automatically conjures up a sense of awe in all of us. It’s bigger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. It’s possible to travel for weeks, even months, in the Alaskan bush without ever seeing another human. Everything is bigger, more dangerous, and more extreme: the animals, the snowy peaks, the temperatures, the isolation. But despite the risks, a rare breed of men and women still heed the call to this remote land and leave the rest of us in the modern world amazed at the courage and stamina it takes to survive in Alaska. Legendary Mountain Man, Marty Meierotto, may have summed it up best: “Whatever you wanna call it, there’s somethin’ bigger than us out there and it lives in Alaska.”
