Featured on the National Geographic’s Life Below Zero, with three Emmy award nominations, Ricko DeWilde was born and raised in the Alaskan bush, and has lived away from any form of civilization for 18 years. He is a native Quoi Can Athabascan Indian, and was brought up with his 13 brothers and sisters in a remote cabin his family built, 40 miles from the nearest village. After a rough transition from the village to civilization, Ricko moved back to the wilderness, and prides himself on being a family man with five kids of his own. Ricko practices native traditions and ways of hunting and fishing that have been passed down from generations of elders. He’s a master of his environment, using fear as a tool, even when he’s face-to-face with a hungry grizzly bear. His life motto: “Every day, you work to survive.”
