I did have covid times & stress weight gain- but I got rid ofit. I think its called a revenge body??? Lol …And I wanted to be as healthy as possible since I am already such a heathen.”

Jane Kilcher
Jane Kilcher grew up in Anchorage, Alaska until she moved to Homer, Alaska at the age of 12. Jane lived not far from the Kilcher Homestead where she met Atz Lee Kilcher. The childhood friendship between the two turned into much more as a grown adult. Atz Lee and Jane bonded over their love for music and later decided to get married. Her parents were fishermen and trained Jane in ways of fishing. As she often puts it, she spent much of her early life surrounded by “storms and men”. Talking about her education side of things, Jane did attend college as she went to the University of Texas in Austin. Jane is a registered nurse and worked in remote villages in Alaska.
A former commercial fisherwoman, Jane is the one who is left in charge of fishing. She is responsible for making sure the family gets enough fish to last them through the long winters. On the other hand, Atz Lee completely depends on hunting to make sure the family lasts through the long winters. While Atz understands the problem caused by not rearing animals, he would have it no other way. As a result, Atz has to spend some time before winter to get ready for the winter.
