The Last Alaskans Cast: Where Are They Now?

The hit National Geographic documentary series "The Last Alaskans" has captivated audiences with its gritty and captivating portrayal of Alaska's rugged wilderness and the people who call it home. The show, which first aired in 2013, followed the lives of several families who lived or planned to live in Alaska's Yukon-Hooper Valley. Five years after the series ended, many of the cast members have continued to pursue their dreams, adapt to the harsh Alaskan environment, and learn to thrive in one of the most unforgiving landscapes on Earth. From encounters with raging bears to celebrated hunting successes, the beings of The Last Alaskans have continued to make headlines.

The Sherman-Townsend Family

Gene and Gary Armstrong were among the main cast members who showed the ups and downs of their subsistence lifestyle on the show. The father-and.son duo has expanded their territory and continues to thrive as they hunt and fish the waters. "We've had some great years of hunting and fishing," Gene states. "Stock has been up, and strategies have changed, helping us survive the chase for essential resources." After filming finished, the Armstrongs extended their hunting season to capture the white bear, managing to navigate huge waters and animal species moving about on their land. The duo manages the wilderness replacing the insects' scientifically-researched population management techniques with familial skills past generation by or across edges to adopt a more flexible and coupons-ready functioning.
