Life Below Zero: Überleben in Alaska watch online HD

I always fast forward past the always-arrogant Sue as she climbs on the roof and says she's food for the grizzlies. What a bunch of made up drama. The others are very enjoyable....especially Agnes and her husband and kids.

I love the whole show and admire these people. Sue Aikens is tough and a very good philosopher. It takes a special person to live like Sue and Erik. Andy and Kate and the Hailstones are separate teams. All are to be admired. I have been to Alaska twice, but never in these places or conditions. I love Alaska. I like to think I could also survive as these and many others who live there, but my age is against me now. I would still like to give it a try though. I used to think that if I had the money to get started, I would do it anyway, but my wife's health would not tolerate the conditions. This type of show is what should be on television instead of all the stupid pointless comedy and drama shows that promote violence and unrealistic life.

I so want to like this show but they do everything in their power to make me dislike it. The editing is just awful. They zip around from homestead to homestead every five minutes and every time they do, they flash up how many miles the homestead is from the arctic circle, every time. Why do we need to see this every time? If they compressed the show down and took out the slow motion effects and introductions every time they switch homesteads, there would be about fifteen minutes of interesting footage. I literally get dizzy and frustrated every time they bounce around making it unwatchable.

It's a shame too because the scenery is beautiful and the lives of these people are so interesting to watch. The camera work is first rate as well so it just boils down to the moron editing all of this together. Hey Mr. Editor, you don't have to try that hard. It's reality TV so keep it real. If you do absolutely nothing with it, it would be so much better. Get over yourself, it's not about you and how creative you want to spin it.

I agree with the person who earlier wrote about the editing of the show. It would be better if they didn't recap every time they cut back to a camp or a family. The fact that this is a reality show should be enough. Some of the editing of the hunting sequences where they don't even try to make it look more real ie they show Sue with an AR hunting and then the next scene she has a bolt action rifle or a shotgun same thing with the other families. If they would try a little harder it would allow us to have more footage, which we know they have, of the people's lives and less of recaps and silly mistakes made by the editors like the type of trap they're setting one time is a Conibear the next scene in the same set it's a jaw trap come on folks.This show is so very interesting and informative. The Halestones are such a refreshing sight to see ,a Mother and Father teaching skills passed down over the years to their kids at the same time dealing with the reality of the modern electronic age. Sue is so great dealing with her fears and set backs and always moving forward. Eric I have no problem with. He is just earning a living while helping with the conservation of the land by harvesting fur legally in such a manner as to control populations of fur bearing critters. the show Would be a 10 if not for the producers and Editors mucking it up at times. Oh and 1 more thing,Chandler being naked every time possible is so funny.God bless the cast and the crews shooting them.

I really look forward every week for this show, among my other dramas and comedies and such. But Life Below Zero, is one of my top 5 of the week. I compare it to two other shows which both happen to end with "Men", and this is BY FAR my favorite. out of 3. I am always rewinding and sometimes it takes me 2 hours to watch an episode. Please keep this show on. Thank you. 10 out of 10!!! This is one those shows that can take you away from what is going on in your life as of now. So some one could label it a fantasy-reality documentary-drama. When I sit back and dream of getting away from it all, this all, I see myself going and living a life like the Bassich couple, a lot of work but that is what keeps them, & everyone, warm. Remember it's life below zero.

I am not a hunter and live in suburbia like most of us. This show allows me a glimpse into the lives of people that have chosen a different life and I enjoy this a lot. I am disappointed by some of the other reviews that (mostly) incorrectly portray information as factual this more opinion based. The use of profanity, I think, is understandable when failure of equipment or to complete a task has potentially catastrophic side-effects. It's very different for us if the vacuum cleaner stops working. Much more of an inconvenience - no real harm done.

If you enjoy looking at wonderful arctic/sub-arctic scenery, are open to the choices and transitions of others and can put up with the repetitive editing style, then this is a show you should thoroughly enjoy.

I love the show and will probably watch it forever,but give me a freaking break.please don't take bits and pieces of other episodes, put them together,call the episode a new name and add a new date to it.with as much footage as you producers have,you should have enough to make a new episode.don't be jerks.don't get me wrong.I love the show.

This is a really entertaining show and my husband and I have binge watched the whole series in the last week. It's been great entertainment while we have a newborn at home. We love the concept and watching the real life goals for people living in the wilderness.

That being said, a few of the subjects are hard to watch.

Firstly, Andy is an abusive jerk. Laughing at Kate's pain after smashing her hands and blaming his stupid screw ups on her. It was disappointing to see him return to the show.

Sue Aikens is so dang annoying. She brags constantly and talks about herself in the most self-righteous tone and verbiage, it's so hard to watch her segments. She talks about every little thing as if it's life and death and then how strong she views herself for conquering it. She's the only person on the show that has consistent electricity, doesn't use firewood or fire of any kind, has food from the grocery store frequently, and yet she brags more than anyone else about her subsistence lifestyle. She's also a horrible shot. It may be the editing, but she also has her machinery break down all the time in ways that shouldn't happen if she is consistently maintaining them. She's vulgar, self-righteous, and incredibly annoying. Everything about her and her childish hats make us want to fast forward through her parts of the show. I CANNOT fathom why her face would be the face of the show.

Glenn is the most reliant on the land but frankly he's kind of creepy sometimes. His naked swimming trips don't help that.

Jessie was just a dirty slob that yanked his dogs around with complete disregard for them and fed them atrocious slop. Even Andy was better than him with his dogs.

The Hailstone's and the Salitan's were the best parts of the show and we thoroughly enjoyed their parts. They solidified our desire to travel to Alaska in the next few years.

I love the premise of this show and was really looking forward to it when I found it on Netflix. I've been binge-watching it and thoroughly enjoyed the first season. Erik, Sue, the Hailstone family, Glenn, Cody, and Kate are all amazing people. Andy is a royal jerk and the show would have been better off without him.

The editing is horrific. Jerky cuts, silly on-the-handle-of-the-axe shots, re-using footage from completely different situations, etc, but I was able to look past that. What did me in was the false creation of drama. Life in the Arctic is tough and dramatic enough without cooking up utterly ridiculous situations.

SPOILER: the scene that killed it for me was when Sue, a savvy woman who had survived, alone, for many years fell and hurt her back. Yes, boiling willow can help, but I refuse to believe that someone so experienced and self-sufficient, who spends thousands of dollars stocking up on all of her supplies to see her through Arctic winters, does not have a single bottle of aspirin or some such on the premises. Ridiculous, unbelievable, and I'm done. Such a shame.

The people who complain about hunting , you should go and live up there without having money or killing animals.

One program that started out with promise then promptly fizzled and died. Other than a few hours of actual reality; there isn't any more of a story here - that's the crux of it. So, National Geo. decided to attempt to cash in on the wilderness angle and beat it absolutely to death. By the episode where the slick narrator was added; it had already become just like every other stock program. Yes, I realize that 99.9% of the viewing audience has never and will never be in or understand any of this. That's why the narration and 'dialog' just goes on and on to describe all the minute details of even going to the toilet.

So...after changing things quite a bit (I actually was enjoying the single woman Sue, until she started to go way over the top on talking about everything) and adding the 'everything is life or death line to everything', just to make sure that all the little viewers understand that...then going into constant repeats of every detail of everything...lost me as a viewer.

Then, insult my intelligence, by leading me into an obviously staged problem situation!?! Nope; I'm done.

I have to remove these tracks off my bobcat and they're so heavy and i have to drag them by hand instead of moving them with my bobcat I just took them off of wtf watched 5 minutes of this stupid show and regret it

Not watching the show anymore, can't stand Andy the Bassich abusing his wife.

I can't give more stars as this Documentary ("acted" like any other to make it look interesting) fails too much. Made it until Season 1 episode 8.

First of all the guy with the family and kids is the only one worth watching. Stuff is happening, responsibilities, problems and so on. The rest are simply uninteresting and boring.

The single lady that doesn't stop talking about her bravery and how strong she is and so on. She has nothing in her life but made up stories, honestly I cannot believe any word she says. Oh and she needs petrol > I got it already, 8 episodes she cries for petrol.

The single dude is simply creepy. His story is that he eats meat. He needs to eat meat everyday. Meat is healthy not like "that Government meat". Dude, you will not get to see 40 just eating meat. Is not healthy. And watching him non stop killing everything he sees moving...disgusting!

The couple with the dogs are silly and simple minded. That is one relation without a happy end. He clearly needs therapy and she needs to find someone who appreciate her as she is.

Not to mention, the way is filmed makes me think the producers wanted to transmit: "look at these idiots how they live!".

Really bad series.

In the midst of a snowy winter, I like to kick back and watch 'Miami Vice' (the movie).

In the midst of a hot summer: I discovered "Life Below Zero.' It's just so cold in Alaska! These people work so hard in Alaska! Makes me want to lie down with a big fat pillow while I watch this series.

The stories from these people's lives have little plot. Really, if you love dogs, you don't have to watch much other than the segments about the dogs to love these stories.

So much time is spent gutting dead animals and fish. Eventually, the viewer must realize that the camera records this so much because there is a point to be made: these people living out in the Alaskan wilds are spending a lot of time of energy on gutting dead animals and fish. Imagine how satisfying that must be. Or boring. That is where the fans of the show are separated from those who turn away.

These people cook a lot. They kill a lot - they cook a lot. It does not take long to be engaged in thought about where YOUR meat comes from and who killed it. Then, how a food company processed it for your use. Simply putting some brains in some fat looks natural and healthy after you've seen the brains pulled out of an animal's skull.

You will see plenty of things pulled out of plenty of places. Reminiscent of some medical dramas!

The cinematography award won by this series at the Primetime Emmys was well-deserved. You will be under the ice - and never get wet. You will be faced with the rising river chock-full of ice floes. And never get wet.

This is an addictive series. Plan to watch many many hours.

I enjoy the show I can just watch it when I don't need to think and want to just sit back and relax, most people on the show are nice to listen to and watch them working except Sue Aikens, she's so annoying and obnoxious, im in the last season now and still the same lines over and over about predators and nagging about daily problems, and bragging about herself, im just skipping her parts now but the problem is that they give her too much screen time enough already.. also at first the constant recap of everything every 5 minutes if annoying..

I used to watch whenever it was on and really enjoyed learning of their way of lives but lately half of each episode is just about Sue and I can only take so much of her. Miss seeing all the other people on the show. Just turned it off again for same reason.

I am addicted to this show but I have to take breaks. Not because of the cast, but the close ups between scenes coupled with the music almost seems like the director and editors are trying to portray these incredible, brave and admirable people as demented cooks. Why all of the creepy sound effects and music???? It almost ruins it for me. I love the Hailstones. Every cast member is individually awesome but something about the native point of view and them being a family with children is so intriguing to watch.

I've watched this show from the beginning. I love all the characters on the program. Jesse Holmes, however, is a joke. He is illiterate, and has a very bad temper. When his fish dryer falls, he throws something and cusses. Really? His dogs don't appear to be true Alaskan huskies, most look like mutts, or half breeds with something else. Please spend more time with Eric and Martha Salitan. Too bad Andy was so mean to Kate, and they parted ways. But I can understand why she would leave someone who constantly complained about the way she did things. Always tried to help, but it was never good enough for him. Glenn is awesome, a true outdoors man. The Hailstones should be commended for trying to teach their children how to be self sufficient, IF and ONLY IF, they choose that lifestyle.

I think this would have been a pretty good show. The cinematography is great, the landscapes are picturesque, and the characters are interesting. The Hailstones, in particular, are fun to watch. The lifestyle they live and the father teaching his children to subsist is pretty cool.

That said, the show is difficult to watch because of this guy, Erik, who is basically committing the wholesale slaughter of innocent animals. The guy is obsessed with meat, washes his hands in animal blood, and then tells himself its "subsistence" living right before saying he's going to sell the pelts for $20 - $40. The guy straight up kills any living animal he can find using a high powered assault rifle. Even canines. It's sad that he thinks its okay to step into the wilderness then kill everything in sight to "survive". If you really have to kill everything to survive, you shouldn't be there. Erik is simply destroying nature with zero respect. He doesn't deserve to be on NatGeo.

I'm about seven eighths the way through this show I don't know how far the production department was between amnesia or straight up dealing with a lobotomy. The show is just 35% of footage re-butchered to fill the 65% cavern of the could have been show. For this reason three and a half stars goes to the monkey mastermind who managed to botch up the narrative so good, I'd also like to take this time to give my regards to anyone who suffered a cerebrovascular assault during the exhibit of this show. Is it just me or does Sue Aikens have a nice round outlook on life? despite all the things shes been through shes the most active ninety years old's have ever had the pleasure of viewing on the TV, no but seriously to whoever stole her gas, If you are looking for a ransom, i can tell you what she does have are a very particular set of skills, skills she has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let go now, that'll be the end of it.

The show is calming and is like meditation to watch. My favorite character is Glenn cause he is a natural and really enjoys the life in Alaska. Sue is a drama queen and by living lonely she wants to prove to the world that she is super strong (super Sue as she calls herself) but obviously she is not and she will give up anytime soon. It would make the show very interesting if we could hear about the characters feelings, where they have come from, their comments on absolute loneliness, what they think of their future when they get old and etc. Editing also sucks and the narrator annoyingly keeps stating the obvious.

The husbands are abusive and the single woman is self-righteous. (sorry I didn't pay attention to names) I've only watched season one so maybe it gets better.

You can rate this either way up or way down. Fact is it isn't that bad. Annoying characters? Yeah. Some. But we deal with those in real life daily. Sometimes in the same home so it adds to the reality then doesn't it? Scenery is amazing. Truly. Editing can be considered rough but seems to be geared towards someone opening the episode without ever having seen the beginning. I watch this with my kids and there is a lot to be learned from watching these families and individuals deal with their lives. Considering how popular garbage surrounding the Kardashians is or even back with the Jersey Shore tools, this show is definitely a win. And I mean c'mon, how many people do you know with a pet fox? That's worth something.

I have been watching this fabulous show since season one and the one thing that keeps me watching is Chip and Edna Hailstone and their seven kids and many grandchildren. They keep this show real and I appreciate the way Chip came clean about his legal issues. I will be a fan of theirs forever but Glenn Villeneu is the biggest pain in my asscheek. All his phones ancient ways of doing things. He will change his silly mind now that his family is finally with him on the Brooks Range. Love Andy yes he had domestic violence issues but resolved. Love the other musher Jesse who is killing those dog races and yeah Sue is a bit pedantic and so full of drama she is so animated but she is a good hearted person. I miss the Salatans are they coming back at first I thought he was a serial killer but I like him. The show is awesome!!!!!
