Podcasts about kavik

Sue Aikens is the warden of Kavik River Camp, a remote, self-sufficient outpost on Alaska's North Slope. A collection of bunkhouses, fuel tanks, generators and equipment set against a wide, treeless, and unforgiving landscape defined by wind, cold, and distance. Just open ground, shifting weather, and a constant awareness that survival depends on preparation and respect for the elements. Hunters, scientists, photographers, and adventurers all travel there for work and pleasure, and it's Sue's job to help them navigate the landscape and prepare for whatever they came there to do. She's spent nearly 30 years of her life here, long enough to know it down to the smallest detail. Every rock, every barrel, every bend in the river. And for more than a decade of that time, she's shared her life with the world in Life Below Zero, a reality show that gives people a glimpse into what it takes to live in the Arctic. In her new book, North of Ordinary, she writes about a difficult upbringing, abuse, abandonment, resilience, and the unlikely path that led her to Kavik. And what emerges from that story isn't just about survival, it's a way of thinking. About solitude, about fear, and about what it means to rely on yourself when there's no one else around. Like the time she was attacked by a grizzly who was trying to assert dominance around Kavik, at one point biting down on her head so hard she could hear her skull crack. After the bear left her for dead, she crawled back to camp and lay there for days until help eventually arrived. The injuries that resulted from that attack left her rebuilding her body piece by piece. It's the kind of experience that would send most people running. But rather than pushing her away, it seemed to root her even deeper in that place. She had survived. And for Sue, survival isn't just relief — it's proof that she belongs in Kavik.

In this one, I talk to Sue Aikens — the warden of Kavik River Camp, a remote, self-sufficient outpost on Alaska's North Slope.

This week, Patti welcomes Sue Aikens of National Geographic's Life Below Zero to discuss her new memoir, North of Ordinary. Sue recounts being moved from Chicago to Alaska as a child and later abandoned by her mother, learning self-sufficiency and finding comfort and guidance in ravens—especially one she called George—who led her to a cabin she still owns. She describes living in extreme isolation near Kavik on Alaska's North Slope, relying on hunting, medicinal plants, and improvisation for survival. Sue shares the story of a grizzly attack, how she treated her injuries alone, and returning to the Arctic despite ongoing risks. She reflects on spirituality, energy, and staying connected to nature, and explains writing the book for her descendants, available through outlets including Mystery Control. @SourcebooksInc #sueaikens #lifebelowzero #northofordinary

Todays Guest is Sue Aikins.  Sue the sole resident of the Kavik river camp in Northern Alaska. The camp is located directly adjacent to the Kavik River, 197 miles North of the Arctic Circle. Her motto is "If it hurts, don't think about it. She is the star of a TV show called Life Below Zero  which is a documentary television series which illustrates the daily and seasonal activities of subsistence hunters as they make their living in remote areas of Alaska. Produced by BBC Worldwide, the show airs on National Geographic. The show follows people who live in the remote areas of Alaska, trying to survive in the below-zero conditions, demonstrating their everyday struggles as they hunt and depend only on themselves and survive using the resources they have. With all of the isolation, you’d think the scariest things Sue has to worry about are weather conditions, ample food and water and wild animals…but what about ghosts and the paranormal?? Turns out there are plenty of paranormal things going on in Alaska as well, and she is going to tell us all about it!  http://www.kavikrivercamp.com   Ghost Magnet Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/Ghost-Magnet-with-Bridget-Marquardt-2480154975336666/   Bridget Marquardt Bridget Marquardt is best known to television audiences and pop-culture connoisseurs as the sweet and brainy star of E!
