I too really like the show but use Google Earth to look at their land. They’re just to the east of Homer, Alaska and live on Kilcher Road (of course!).
The area is not 1/10 as isolated as they make it appear on the show. They could be in downtown Homer at McDonalds in about a ten-fifteen minute drive. No need to go 60 miles across rugged terrain on a snowmobile to ice fish some small trout when a Fillet-o-Fish is 15 miles away...
Still, I like watching it. Even bought season 1 on Amazon prime.
The Singer Jewel is Atz’s daughter, did you know?
I’m not sure it qualifies as a reality show but my very favorite food show has to be “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern.” Just saw the show about Houston and I am dying for some of that locally raised Kobe beef that was featured. Andrew ate it sushi style sans cooking.
Yes, there is a Safeway easily accessable, but they do live like the show portrays. I do know that Jewel is his daughter, but she did not want to be a presence in the show. She does provide vocals in the theme song. Eve is going to have a baby probably in November. They wanted her to do a home birth on the show, but she refused. My girlfriend’s sister is Otto’s ex. Remember when he made a comment about finishing his house and his wife left him? He said he’d rather have a cold house and a hot wife. Needless to say, that didn’t go over well! They all gather at a tavern in Homer to watch it. That moment was scandalous!
