I heard they were going to give her the boot. But she threatened to sue them over the snow machine incident. So they kept her on.

I met Grandpa Kilcher in 1981. I used his homestead for a basecamp for 3 months while climbing in the Kenai Range. Would kayak across Kachemak Bay.
Yeah, I think he was the real deal. Hard working son of a gun. He played hard too. I have pictures of him rolling around the yard inside a round stock feeder he had modified with handles on the inside. It was a real hoot to watch. He'd eat puschki and nettles. I remember him dancing with girls at Alice's Champagne Palace in Homer.
Really fun and it brings back memories for me when I watch the show. I slept a couple nights in that octagon structure. He called it the Yoga or Meditation House back then. It was a nice break from the tent for sure.
Moosetrot Well THAT is cool!

I thought the story was she was going to sue because she said she was deprived medical attention from the accident and then figured out she would be kicked off the show if she sued and decided not to.

Grapestomper, they were not paving the road. That's a Kenai peninsula Borough maintained road and they were just doing an upgrade on it. Widened it out, put in new culverts, better ditch drainage, and about a foot lift of gravel on it. Still just a gravel road, no pavement on it. But yeah, things are not exactly as portrayed on TV, lol.
Atz, Otto, and all their siblings, did see some hard times growing up there in the '50's and 60's, as did homestead families all over Alaska during that time.
