As a consequence, only Agnes and their children are allowed to hunt all of the animals in the wilderness, so any hunting by Chip of a marine mammal, would result in legal proceedings. Even though Chip is married to Agnes, who is in fact a native, that still doesn’t transfer the rights of natives to him. With Chip, however, Agnes has had five children: Tinmiaq, Iriqtaq, Mary, Caroline and Qutan, all of whom seem to be engaged in the filming of “Life Below Zero”, which is likely another reason for the overall popularity behind the Hailstone name.ĭue to various laws in the area regarding hunting licenses, Chip is not allowed to hunt marine mammals, since they are prey that reserved for the indigenous population. Agnes herself was previously married to Douglas J. While the accurate date of the Hailstones’ wedding is unknown, it is logical to estimate that, according to the ages of their children, the two joined in matrimony somewhere in the mid-1990s. Until his time is served, the Hailstones continue their survival without the head of the family. As a summary of the legal processes that Chip had to go through so far, in July 2017 he was convicted and sentenced to 15 months in the Anchorage Correctional Complex. His allegations resulted in legal processes being started against him, and after he asked for the officer to receive a restraining order against his daughter, he went on to file an appeal against his perjury convictions. Additionally, there was another incident involving a similar allegation, where in an incident related to a different Noorvik family, he alleged that an individual pointed a firearm at his daughter.
Chip and his family spent 8 seasons on the show when he dropped-out, but his family still did.Ĭhip’s seemingly unstoppable career came to a rapid halt in 2012, when he was charged and convicted on two counts of making false statements to the authorities and two counts of perjury in the Second Judicial Court in Kotzebue, due to Chip’s allegation that a state trooper made uncouth advancements towards his daughter, who, according to his words, was physically assaulted by the officer at the age of 17. As they got used to living off the land and surviving without various modern-day comforts, they attracted the attention of National Geographic’s agents, and later signed a contract that put them in at the kick-off of the “Life Below Zero” show on the 19 th of May 2013.
Having lived in the said town for a couple of years, he eventually met Agnes, an Alaskan native with roots in Inupiat, and the two decided to start a family. The cold climate and the environment of the area are conditions in which he could feel like a true hunter and survivalist. It is likely that his early mastery of survival sparked an interest in turning that hobby into a full-time career.Īccording to various sources, Chip left his hometown in 1988, at which point he was 19 years of age, initially planning to visit Alaska, but apparently changed his mind and decided to settle in the small town of Noorvik, with barely 700 registered inhabitants, apparently brought about by the fact that the entire region was a perfect place for the passions he was pursuing. Since his wife is engaged in the same profession, they have mutually contributed to each other’s fame through their careers.Ĭhip was born to parents Daniel Franklin Hailstone and Mary Lois Hailstone, and that’s as far as the information regarding his childhood goes there is no information regarding education, however, it is public knowledge that while he was being raised in his birthplace, he gained significant skills in hunting and fishing.
