There are some odd dissonances in the Kilcher clan. They seem remarkably well-educated and well-spoken in comparison to some of the hill-williams on discovery. Their clothing and equipment seems to contain a mix of high-end REI designer gear and expensive technology and home-made. Perhaps this is typical of rural alaskan homesteads, out at the end of the logistical chain, but it is not similar to the appalachian homesteaders I have met.
