Thankfully it wasnt though. Sure there are the obligatory comments from Kate about how crazy all this outdoorsy, gun shooting, camping stuff seems to her. But this episode was really more about how much kids can learn from being exposed to the great outdoors. And about how experiences like that can bring families closer together.
Sarahs father, Chuck Heath, is featured again in this episode. He is a retired science teacher and his house is like a nature museum full of fun and interesting things for kids to look at and touch like beaver skulls and porcupine quills and stuffed animals (of the taxidermy, not teddy bear, variety). Kates kids appear fascinated by the things he shows and teaches them over the course of their visit. (Note to Mark Burnett: Give this man his own show. I could listen to him talk about wildlife for hours. He is a great teacher and is obviously passionate about the world around him.)

I can only make a tenuous connection, but Kate had a hairdo that looked like something Sarah would want to shoot for dinner.
ROFL!
I will miss you, but I understand.
I think I’ll pass on this one.
The shooting caribou episode was priceless. Not the shooting itself, but the whole adventure of going to an uninhabited land, with outposts of one person, bear stories, little planes with fat tires; the whole trip.
But then the liberal reaction. “Snuff film”. Then the anti hunting rhetoric by meat eating, leather seated wackos.
I don’t see how this episode could live up to that.
I’ve been DVR’ing this show and only sat down yesterday to watch them marathon style. As a city boy I was very impressed with the Alaskan people presented on the show, relatives and not.
I would like to visit Sarah Palin’s Alaska but I got the impression that even before she became the VP nominee, she didn’t spend the amount of quality time with her family as she did on this show.
So in a way, watching it made me sad for her personally yet encouraged that someone like her would delve into the seemy world of politics to ensure people could enjoy the lifestyle portrayed on the show.
She’s much more complex than people give her credit for.
That's a funny quote!
