In this episode, I sit down with Seth Kantner, acclaimed author, subsistence hunter, and lifelong Alaskan who grew up in a sod igloo on the remote tundra of Arctic Alaska. We dive into what it was really like to be raised off the grid hauling water, hunting for food, and living in deep connection with the land and its rhythms.
Seth shares vivid stories from his wild upbringing among the Inupiat people, his deep respect for caribou and Arctic wildlife, and the challenges of balancing tradition with the modern world. We talk about hunting not just as survival, but as a way of life and what it means to live in a place where winter lasts nine months and the sun doesn't rise for weeks.
From gritty survival to lyrical storytelling, this conversation is a rare glimpse into a disappearing world one Seth has spent his life living, preserving, and writing about.
