  1. If you physically AND mentally abused Kate, who is surprised that she left you. Sorry to hear this happened to both of you. It can’t have been pleasant for either of you.

  2. Aundy I’m a true fan I want to meet you your very impressive your doing things I wanted to do my whole life unfortunately being women in the late 70s early 80s I felt my life was about career marriage children and of course failed at a few things I just want to to know I’m a big fan

  3. I love watching ” Life below Zero” !!! But it seems like Andy was yelling at Kate a lot . I would have divorce him too, after a week of marriage !!! Men shouldn’t treat women like crap.

    1. Absolutely! With all the men in the lower 48 getting ostracized for sexual-harassment someone that abused his wife for more than 10 years should not be on the show. Furthermore abusers don’t change just does leopard Don’t change their spots. National Geographic should be ashamed that they allowed Andy to continue on the show after it was publicly acknowledged That Andy was an abuser. Shame on you National Geographic shame on you!

  4. I would love to meet Andy….i have always wanted to live in Alaska.I from South Jersey but live in Florida n hate the heat.

  5. I would love to meet Andy so I can beat the shit out of him myself. I love the program but it is a shame that NG paid an abuser for ratings.

    1. At least you didn’t break that lovely vibrant lady’s spirit we can tell by reading about how she is doing without you, you nightmare

  6. Hi Andy you are my favorite of them all I was just wondering something do you ever make people’s dreams come true would you allow someone to come and stay a week or two with you and your dogs so they could experience what it’s like to live in Alaska that is my dream and I’m not afraid of hard work either

  7. we used to like this backwoods man living off the land taking care of his dogs,then to nite i turn on life below zero look who’s got a new yurt on top of frame structure now he wants a elevator look at the new concrete,chip and Agnes got a big new boat and new snowmobile’s,the killters are only 15 mi out of town,pizza and steak to nite,this is looking like a farce. not watching any more.

  8. why doesn’t National Geo . have a morality clause ? Andy you ruin a perfectly good show and National Geo . there must be other people in the huge state of Alaska you can film .

  9. My Husband & I both love Life Below Zero we think the cast are fantastic too be able to live in such a cold country.
    We admire Andy for his skill of carpentry he is brilliant at building, his cabin & workshop are gorgeous.
    His dogs are beautiful he takes great care off them. Best wishes from Bernie & Philip in Ireland Ps sorry to hear about you & Kate breaking up.

  10. Wow, am I disappointed in Andy. He seemed pretty gruff with Kate on some episodes but I blew it off. Now I am also outraged that Nat Geo has the audacity to keep this abuser on their payroll. It’s disgusting and you should be ashamed. I will only continue watching the show for the sake of the other families involved, who I enjoy watching.
