    About Life Below Zero:
    Life Below Zero follows six people as they battle for the most basic necessities in the state with the lowest population density in the United States. Living at the ends of the world's loneliest roads and subsisting off the rugged Alaskan bush, they battle whiteout snow storms, man-eating carnivores, questionable frozen terrain, and limited resources through a long and bitter winter. Some of them are lone wolves; others have their families beside them. All must overcome despairing odds to brave the wild and survive through to the spring. And when spring arrives in Alaska, rising temperatures bring mounting challenges as they work to prepare for yet another winter.

      It should be abolished. Most dogs spend their life chained and can barely move. No contact, no freedom. It's horrible.

    This was not an ideal race for Jessie. I was and I still am happy for his decisions to look after his dogs and not push them. I'm sure his dogs could have made a top 5 place if he had but he cares about them. He sacrificed prestige for the personal pride of looking out for his team. I fully respect him as a muster for this and his outward perspective on the entire lifestyle.
    I also thank everyone involved in capturing the experience and I can't wait to watch these particular episodes.
    I was so happy to see him arrive in Nome with Lance Mackey. An iditarod legend. It was an incredible moment for me, I can't imagine how Jessie and the crew felt.

    I remember reading an article on magazine named reader's digest and it was a story about a US dude who never did dog sled before, he got sponsored by neighbors ... and he finished the race. The scene he ate six or seven dishes of breakfast with eggs ham was cool.

      @@veg9097 I don't understand your comment, they get injured or die because they love to run or because they're treated better than the homeless? It is not cruel to let a dog do what it loves, even when this might rarely result in harm, what is cruel is locking up a dog that's built to run and have them live a miserable life indoors.

This isn't about the dogs, this is about stupid people trying to entertain themselves taking advantage of animals who are not capable of understanding the consequences of all this. Also, nobody is advocating to lock dogs up, this is why people take their pets out for walks or runs. Serious question, are u brain dead?

    The Iditarod-a grueling 1,000-mile race in which dogs are forced to run to exhaustion, injury, or even death over Alaska’s unforgiving terrain-has resulted in the deaths of more than 150 dogs since its inception.
