- Heimo Korth is an American outdoorsman. He and his wife Edna are among the few permanent residents of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. They live along the Coleen River, just south of the Brooks Range, and move between cabins seasonally. Striving to be self-reliant, they hunt and fish for their own food. The Korths' lifestyle came to public attention with James Campbell's 2004 book The Final Frontiersman: Heimo Korth and His Family, Alone in Alaska's Arctic Wilderness. In 2009, VBS.tv produced Surviving Alone in Alaska, a documentary film showing Korth's lifestyle.He was also featured among others on PBS's "Braving Alaska" in 1992. Reliant on bush pilots to transport him in and out of his home in the bush, he was incidentally featured in Flying Wild Alaska 2011 - 2012, as Korth had hired the series' protagonist Jim Tweto to fly him out of Fairbanks. Heimo, Edna and their family, alongside 4 other families, make up the Discovery series The Last Alaskans which premiered in 2015. Heimo and his wife are briefly discussed in the book, "Warriors Creed," when two Pararescue Jumpers drop in during a snow storm to provide medical assistance to Edna, and transport them both to a medical facility. Heimo's first name is of Finnish origin and means "tribe" in English. (en)
- Heimo Korth är en amerikansk man boende i norra Alaska. Han och hans hustru Edna är de enda stadigvarande bosatta i Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. De bor längs Coleen floden, strax söder om Brooks Range, och flyttar säsongsvis mellan olika stugor. De strävar efter att vara självförsörjande, de jagar och fiskar sin egen mat. 1980 etablerade president Jimmy Carter Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Samtidigt beslutades att endast de sex familjer av vita nybyggare som redan bodde där fick fortsätta bo i naturreservatet. Numer är det bara Korth och hans familj som är kvar. Korths livsstil kom till allmänhetens kännedom 2004 med boken The Final Frontiersman av James Campbell. Sedan dess har ett antal dokumentärer gjorts om dem. Exempelvis filmen Heimo's Arctic Refuge (2009) av Vice, samt teveserien The Last Alaskans (2015) på Discovery Channel. (sv)
