Wether it is ice fishing for dog food, rehabilitating old snow machines and sleds, or taking on a new farm build, the Alaskans need to work constantly to ensure their survival
Kaleb and Brittany continue building on the farm. Johnny struggles with a defective snow machine. The Brown family harvest ice for the future, while Chevie and Sonta open a new trap line.
Mario prepares to build a generator shed. Johnny makes a small hunting base. Chevie, Emry and Sydney cut wood to take back to the Grandparents. Kaleb and his family set out on a Beaver hunt.
Wether it is on a hunt, building a wheeler canopy, processing meat or trying to catch fish, there must be a trust and patience between elder and younger Alaskans, to be able to build a successful future.
In the height of winter, it is all about maximising hunting opportunities, catching fish where you can, preserving as much as you can, and looking after the animals that help you in your survival.
Life can never stand still in the frozen world of Alaska. Whether it is making a jacket for a dog, a kennel for another, or making skis for better hunting, there is always something to be done to better living.
Sometimes the animals decide to have kids and plans need to be made for them. Black fish will provide a change of diet for some while others seek bear and other game.
The wolves population is growing too quickly so Chevie and Roger take steps. Johnny manages to refill his food store and Kaleb helps Lobo to get a vehicle down from the hills for sale.
Kaleb builds an ice fishing shed on a sledge to take the children fishing. Newcomers Kyle Sarvela and his family on Moose Point, set traps for rabbit and hunt mushrooms. Roger and Chevie rehabilitate an abandoned Snowcat to haul wood.
Katie and Kyle make progress on a greenhouse. Mario looks for some Ptarmigan. The Rowland family go on a fishing expedition with their new ice cabin. Chevie decides to build a new cabin 35 miles away for the family.
Hunt to build your food source, build a shed to protect you equipment, teach your kids to fish to protect their future, and build a sturdy cabin to protect the generations to come.
