When it comes to survivalist shows, I think Discovery Channel’s The Last Alaskans isnt talked about enough. The show premiered in 2015 and follows the lives of the last residents of the remote Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska as they hunt, build, and try to survive the harsh weather. While The Last Alaskans is definitely not the first reality show to be based out of Alaska, the shows charm lies in its unscripted format and slow pace. Unlike many other survival shows, which often dramatize or exaggerate the narrative for shock value, The Last Alaskans focuses on the everyday challenges of living in one of the most inhospitable places on Earth.
