With food being scarce and temperatures only going from bad to worse, Glenn Villeneuve, a Life Below Zero cast member and Alaskan resident, takes challenges head-on.
Glenn Villeneuve and his rifle are inseparable! He is a master hunter with spot-on instincts, so he’s often known as Glenn the Butcher. If you want to know more about him, keep reading for details from Glenn Villeneuve’s wiki.

When asked about what made him choose the enduring lifestyle, Villeneuve said, “In 1997 I was living in a tipi in the woods in Vermont. I was very happy but I wanted to go deeper into it than I could do there. I was looking for a more intimate relationship with the natural world.”

The passionate hunter joined Nat Geo’s Life Below Zero in 2013. He has been a beloved cast member ever since.
Fans of the show are extremely impressed with his hunting and survival skills. But they also love the emotional side he shows to his family.
Glenn Villeneuve’s wife is Trisha Kazan. They live with their four children. Agatha Villeneuve is the youngest and was born in June 2017. Meanwhile, Wolf Song and Willow Leaves are Villeneuve’s children from a previous marriage. Amelia Atkins is Kazan’s daughter with her former husband.
The big, happy family all believe in Villeneuve’s lifestyle. Not only are they more than comfortable to follow in his footsteps, but the kids also help their father prepare the meat after his hunt.
Glenn Villeneuve’s educational background is limited. He dropped out of high school after his first year.
Nat Geo documents the Villeneuve family’s incredible journey, along with Life Below Zero cast members Sue Aikins, Agnes and Chip Hailstone, Andy Bassich, Jessie Holmes, and Erik Salitan.
