Heimo’s Arctic Refuge

I watched this video on Heimo Korth the other day.  After seeing an old National Geographic video featuring Korth and his family filmed over a decade ago, and reading his book, The Final Frontiersman, I was excited to see a new documentary on Heimo and his wife.  This family lives the ultimate wilderness lifestyle in the middle of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with no neighbors or help within hundreds of miles.  They hunt, fish and trap to survive.  Heimo’s lifestyle is one that I and other trappers have dreamed about living but the realities of life kept us from making it happen.  You’ll want to watch this video.  It’s incredible.
