Overview Construction:
The series Life Below Zero is a documentary television program that illustrates the daily and seasonal activities of subsistence hunters living in remote areas of Alaska. Viewers go deep into an Alaskan winter to meet six tough and resilient residents as they attempt to stay one step ahead of storms and man-eating beasts to make it through to spring. The environment presents significant challenges, including minus-60-degree days and a constant battle for the most basic necessities. In these remote corners of Alaska, residents may find themselves with bears, wolves, and foxes as their only neighbors. For some, the isolation is extreme; for example, the closest neighbor to Sue Aikens is more than 300 miles away. Other residents, such as Eric Salitan, subsist solely on what they hunt and forage. The series captures the daily challenges of people navigating these harsh conditions while trying to survive
