Introduction

Agnes Hailstone is a TV personality who is starring in the reality show – ”Life Below Zero.” She lives with her family in Noorvik, Alaska.

Biography

Hailstone was born on June 14, 1972, in Noorvik, an Inupiat city in the Northwest Arctic Borough in Alaska.

Agnes is from the Iñupiaq family, a group of Alaska Natives. Along with other Inuit groups, they originate from the Thule culture. 

There has been some curiosity surrounding Agnes’ parents and siblings, but their names and faces remain a mystery. The only intel available about her family is that her mother and brother were killed by icy water.

She has spent her entire life in Alaska. 

Agnes picked up hunting and fishing skills from an early age when she’d set out with her family in search of food.

While she learned her survival skills from her parents, there is no record of formal education. However, she learned how to craft household materials from animal parts, extract body fats for oil, and tan the preys she caught.

In addition, she mastered the art of using Ulu, a traditional all-purpose knife native to Inuit Yupik.

She was so versed in her art that she built her first cabin as a teenager, a structure that has endured the passage of time and exists to date.

Life Below Zero

Agnes didn’t envisage that her everyday life would blossom into a mind-blowing career opportunity. However, she was so self-sufficient and a genius at living in extreme conditions that Nat Geo sought her out for Life Below Zero’s documentary show.

The reality show follows people who live in remote areas of Alaska, and survive using the resources they have.

Agne’s skills come to life on this show.

She displays remarkable hunting proficiency and expertly wields a knife and rifle for hunting. In addition, she uses a military-grade gun with a range of over 500 meters. 

Agnes is fond of her knife and even names it, attracting her fan’s fascination and amusement.

Speaking of fans, the reality TV star has garnered a considerable fan base, even as she’s barely active on social media.

Agnes has little to zero inclinations for technology and, as such, is indifferent to technology-driven products like social media. Hence, her fans can only take a glimpse of her progress and lifestyle via the show’s social media channels.

Hailstone has four lines tattooed below her lips. The tattoo is common among Eskimo women.

This out-of-the-norm tattoo holds a special meaning and represents her cultural belief.

It was used to protect women during enemy raids.

Currently, it transmits to men that a woman has reached puberty and that she is available for marriage.

Note – there is strong evidence dating back almost 4,000 years of Inuit women bearing facial tattoos.

Husband

Agnes got married to Chip Hailstone (real name – Edward V Hailstone) in 1992. Chip was born in Montana, but he later moved to Alaska.

Chip had missed one season of Life Below Zero since he was sentenced to 15 months in prison after making false statements to police and being charged with two counts of perjury.

He said that a Noorvik resident pointed a rifle at his daughter after an altercation, as well as that an Alaskan state trooper physically assaulted his daughter Tinmaiq.

He also said that these incidents have caused him to fear for his family’s safety. However, Sgt. Duane Stone of Kotzebue’s Detachment C squad declared:

”I’m sorry he feels that way. He is very, very safe but he needs to stay compliant with the law.”

Fortunately, Agnes is a skilled hunter and was capable of providing food for her family’s needs. She said:

”The last 10 months have been pretty long and sad with Chip being gone. Food didn’t taste good, coffee didn’t taste good. But I got through it.”

Before her marriage with Chip Hailstone, Agnes was married to Douglas J. Carter.
