Krin Nelson, known for her appearance on “The Last Alaskans” alongside her husband Scott Nelson, recently disclosed that the couple has been separated for over two years. The former firefighter and survival expert shared the news of their divorce, which has left fans of the show surprised and curious about what led to the end of their marriage.
The announcement has sparked a wave of speculation among viewers who followed Krin and Scott’s journey on “The Last Alaskans.” Many are eager to understand what caused the breakdown in their relationship. In this article, we delve into Krin’s life story and explore how she ended up where she is today.
Krin Nelson is not just a reality TV personality; she comes from a family deeply rooted in survival skills. She is the daughter of Heimo and Edna Korth, who gained fame through “The Last Alaskans.” Born into a family that thrived in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge without modern conveniences like electricity or running water, Krin was raised with an understanding of how to survive in one of Earth’s most challenging environments.
“The Last Alaskans” first aired on Animal Planet on May 25, 2015. The show focused on trappers living off-grid in Alaska’s wilderness by hunting and fishing. It later moved to Discovery Channel from 2016 until its final season concluded in January 2019. Growing up under such conditions meant that Krin learned essential survival skills like hunting and fishing from an early age—a necessity for anyone living so remotely.
Tragedy struck early in Krin’s life when her older sister Colleen Ann Korth died tragically at just two years old due to a river accident. Following this heartbreaking event, her parents decided it was safer for Krin to grow up away from such dangers, leading them to move closer to civilization where she spent most of her childhood.
Despite spending much time away from Alaska’s wilderness during her upbringing, Krin made several appearances on “The Last Alaskans,” particularly during visits back home as an adult. Her brief but memorable presence on the show earned her admiration from viewers who appreciated seeing another side of life in Alaska through her eyes—especially when she appeared alongside Scott during Season Four.
A Brief Stint with Fame
Krin became part of Discovery Channel’s hit series “The Last Alaskans” starting in 2015 along with other members of her family—quickly gaining recognition as one among those brave enough to live off-the-grid amidst harsh conditions typical only within Arctic regions like theirs.
However short-lived it may have been compared against some other cast members’ tenure across four seasons (from 2015-19), fans still remember fondly every moment featuring this resilient woman whose upbringing prepared well enough even if circumstances eventually led elsewhere beyond cameras rolling anymore after January ’19 finale episode aired last time ever since then till now onwards too perhaps forevermore?
