this is more for the alaska and yukon brothers, me and the old lady started watching this show and the newer one next generation, i told the old lady i could do that! she said have fun being alone and other stuff like go NO-yourself ,your not well etc etc. anyway im sure the show is mostly bs but its a pretty good show .my question is how do these people buy the propertys where there homsteads are at some of them are remote i gather some not so much, does alasaka and canada seel the parcels that the people are trying to make a go of it? and ya am way to old now to commence anythiing like this now but am curious about how thay get the land to settle on ,thanks sickboy

First off.
"The Old Lady" don't cut it anymore

im guessing your jokeing around, my wife and mother of my child is happy to be my old lady she will tell anyone that she is my old lady and im her old man , im also in a motorcycle club and have been for over 15years so the old lady thing is no put down .and shes not old only 54 but she is my old lady lol

Like you said there is a lot of B.S. in the program. Using a air nail gun with cylinders, I do not know if they will work in that cold of weather, battery powered saw. I have to agree "Old Lady" not the best name for the person you are living with. JMO

It seems respectful with the "lady" and then a word in a temporal sense designating the lady's age = old = old lady.
I'll try in with Donna.


"HEY, what'd ya whack me afor?"

Didn't work.

wow you guys are a tough group never mind it she is my beautifyl wife mother of my dasughter and grand mother to my grand son she not old she awesome she my best fried my soul mate my buddy she the one whos going to see me to the creamatoriam i apologize to those who took offence to me calling my old lady my old lady lol sickboy

Banchee, if your old lady don't take offense to you calling her old lady then I see no reason to be offended that you call your old lady, old lady.

What the heck does what he call his old lady have to do with how people secure the property to build on in the wilds of Canada and Alaska?

seems like this site got politicaly correct from when i was on here years agao yes she has no issues shes proud to be my old lady , shes italian and has no problems putting people in their place she a real rag most of the time but we are inseparable i love her heart and soul she is my best and only partner in this life

I tried watching season 2 next generations, What a bunch of fake tv, they drove me nuts and couldn’t stand watching them try and make firewood with a handsaw

i agree with adc topic got off course with me call ing lizbeth my old lady i only wanted to know how the people on the show got their land

I know. I tried to steer it back on track. I wish I had the answer for ya. I have wondered the same thing.

I like "life below zero" even if some things are exaggerated, still better than most of the junk on TV. I hope someone will chime in with a answer to your question. And for the record my wife is only 34 and I call her my old lady at times

Will get more responses on the wilderness forum....

From folks who know.....

Matter of fact.....one of the cast members posts there from time to time.....Chip Hailstone....

His Tman handle is Caribou....I believe....

Sidenote....dont ask what White17 affectionately calls his better half....even made it her Tman handle

That Manzo dude was saying he made this trip over this uncharted trail Into Donna Lake. BS you could probably drive a truck Just about all the way to Donna lake. Then there Is this really nice forest service cabin there . I've been there and It's a easy trail.

I like the 2 European guys up in the Yukon. For the most part they seem to know what they are doing. Does not seem that all those folks are full-timers up there. That guy and his wife up on the Cosna is like watching bad comedy.

Moosetrot

Maybe change the title and skip the pre-amble to the question when you do. LOL

Yep

The old Ball and chain.
