If you’ve been a steadfast fan of the cinematically rich reality show Ice Lake Rebels over the past two seasons, you will be disappointed to discover that it hasn’t been renewed for a third. If you’re a real-life houseboater in Yellowknife, you’re probably relieved.
The series “follows a handful of renegade houseboaters as they hunt for food, drill for water, trade for necessities and protect their turf,” on the lawless and pristine Great Slave Lake, according to specialty channel Animal Planet, which hosted 19 episodes before quietly dropping the show.
Judging by the overwhelming response from Americans to my last story on the series – which pointed out that, absolutely, there are houseboaters living an extreme lifestyle on a frozen lake in the sub-Arctic; but no, they are not bad-ass survivalists dependent on foraging wild food – some further clarification might be useful.

Many say hell is an inferno, one resident of Animal Planet’s new docu-series “Ice Lake Rebels” notes in the premiere tonight.
But he thinks hell must be ice cold.
Hell also may be watching TV shows about people living on ice.
“Ice Lake Rebels” tracks a group of survivalists who reside on houseboats on Great Slave Lake, a foreboding body of water in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
Residents proudly, defiantly live off the grid in this remote area, free from governmental regulation and taxes.
The notion seems tempting, but the reality is hardly idyllic. Every moment here seems a battle to stave off disaster.
The key to survival?
“You have to have respect for the lake. You have to respect the ice you are walking on,” says Allyce Rattray.
