Sue Aikens- Professional Career

Sue Aikens began working at the age of 16 when she started running a camp in the wilderness and moved to live in the camp when she turned 17, apparently learning something from her grandparents who were originally from Linlithgow in West Lothian, Scotland, where they owned and managed an environmentally friendly wilderness camp.

After Sue’s camp was observed by producers working for the BBC network, she was invited to star in the “Life Below Zero” reality TV show. The series began broadcasting on 19 May 2013 on the National Geographic Channel, and so far counts 12 seasons.

It follows numerous people who are living in the Alaskan bush, and are surviving in its below zero conditions — they hunt for their food and have to rely exclusively on themselves.

In 2007, Sue was attacked by a young adult male bear which almost killed her — she killed the bear but suffered severe injuries and was recovered just 10 days later by a pilot.

People have often asked Sue why did she leave her house when she was 17 and went to live all on her own in a cabin in the forest to what Sue said it was because out there, she is ‘not bound by the rules of society.

The show gained Sue popularity and notoriety, but it was not always easy, as she once crashed driving her snow machine at 96 km/h on 2 December 2017, and received significant injuries, therefore skipping a few episodes.

It is claimed that Sue was verbally abused as well as terrified by the show’s producers, and she pressed accusations against BBC Worldwide Reality Productions, alleging they were pressuring her to do risky things to make the show more intriguing, such as when she drove the snow machine.

She is currently running the Kavik River camp, where her clients are mostly people interested in science such as hydrology and geology – she offers accommodation for hunters from time to time, but at a certain time of the year, she only accepts autistic people and families with special needs children.
