Early Life

Krin Nelson was born in June 1989 in Alaska. The youngest daughter of Heimo and Edna Korth, Krin grew up in the heart of the refuge, surrounded by one of the most remote and rugged regions of the state. Raised completely off-grid, she developed strong skills in hunting, fishing, and survival from an early age. Her upbringing was shaped by the values of self-reliance, resilience, and respect for nature—principles passed down by her parents. Krin also has elder sisters, Rhonda and Melinda.

Television Appearances

Krin Nelson appeared more regularly during Seasons 3 and 4 of The Last Alaskans, a series that prominently featured her parents, Heimo and Edna Korth. While not listed as a full-time cast member, Krin was a recurring presence in several episodes, where viewers witnessed her deep connection to the land and her family’s way of life.

In one segment, Krin watched as Heimo carved Christmas ornaments out of cottonwood bark—a lighthearted tradition from her childhood. The family once made holiday decorations shaped like fish, axes, and shovels, using materials gathered from the land. The scene offered a warm glimpse into their creative traditions and deep-rooted connection to the wilderness.

Another notable moment captured Krin joining Heimo and Minnie as they investigated signs of a bear spotted dangerously close to their cabin. Krin calmly assessed the threat and discussed safety precautions with her father, reflecting her deep familiarity with the ever-present risks of life in the bush. The family prepared for a tense night by keeping shotguns close, demonstrating their readiness and grounded awareness in the face of wilderness danger.

In one of the show’s more emotional episodes, Krin, Colby, and Heimo shared a heartfelt farewell as the bush plane arrived to take Krin and her son back to town. Heimo expressed hope that Colby’s visits to the Refuge would be more than just occasional—that the boy’s roots in the Arctic might someday call him back for good. Krin acknowledged the challenges of balancing life in town with supporting her aging parents, and reflected on the weight of legacy and the pull of family tradition.

Krin also shared a personal milestone off-camera, revealing in a social media post that she successfully harvested her first moose after many years of trying. The moment occurred just after the show’s crew had departed, when her mother heard the bull grunting near the river. Krin made a 300-yard shot with her .270 rifle and dropped the moose on a nearby gravel bar. She later expressed gratitude for her father’s help and noted that the moose fed their family through the winter—highlighting her evolving role as both hunter and provider.

Marriage, Miscarriage, and Moving Forward

Krin Korth Nelson married Scott Nelson in 2008, and the couple went on to build a life together that balanced tradition and family. Their son, Colby Nelson, was born on April 17, 2016, coincidentally sharing a birthday with his grandfather Heimo. As first-time parents, Krin and Scott embraced a lifestyle rooted in the values passed down from Krin’s upbringing—self-reliance, connection to nature, and a strong sense of family.

In January 2019, Krin experienced a heartbreaking miscarriage, which she shared publicly in a personal post. She recalled learning at nearly 19 weeks that the baby’s heart had stopped weeks earlier, around Christmas. The loss deeply affected her, marking a painful beginning to that year.

BBy 2021, after over 12 years together, Krin and Scott separated. Their divorce was finalized in early 2023 after 14.5 years of marriage. In March 2023, Krin confirmed the end of their marriage in a candid public post, expressing both appreciation and closure. She acknowledged the emotional toll the relationship had taken, noting she had lost parts of herself, friendships, and family over the years. Despite deep personal challenges, she expressed gratitude for Scott’s role as a father and the good moments they had shared, calling him a “damn good man” and “amazing father.”

While she openly recognized the pain of repeated betrayal and the personal toll it took, Krin stated that she had done her best to make the marriage work. She also acknowledged her own faults, including how she reacted in times of hurt. Ultimately, she said she was at peace with her decision to move on, expressing respect for Scott and their continued journey as co-parents.

Today, Krin and Scott maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship centered around Colby, who is now nine years old. He spends time with both parents and continues to grow up surrounded by the outdoors.

As of 2025, Krin is in a new relationship and has spoken warmly about her partner’s role in her and Colby’s lives, referring to him as a “bonus dad.” Together, they have been seen exploring the Pacific Northwest and spending quality time in nature.

Though Krin no longer lives in the Arctic Refuge, she retains the legal right to return to her family’s cabins as a direct descendant.
