♪ ♪

00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:14,279
chip: Yeah?
3
00:00:14,315 --> 00:00:16,281
Agnes: So, honey, there's
a plane coming in soon.
4
00:00:16,317 --> 00:00:18,517
It's gonna bring in your
parts and stuff, your, uh,
5
00:00:18,552 --> 00:00:19,818
whatever you ordered
for the boat.
6
00:00:20,321 --> 00:00:21,720
Chip: Oh, from ting?
Agnes: Uh-huh.
7
00:00:21,756 --> 00:00:23,555
Chip: You get on a sat-phone?
She let you know?
8
00:00:23,591 --> 00:00:26,225
Agnes: Yeah. It'd
be nice to get our boat running.
9
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:29,028
Wouldn't have to worry
about water coming in.
10
00:00:29,063 --> 00:00:30,629
Chip: Last year, my
daughter hit a rock.
11
00:00:30,664 --> 00:00:32,331
Iriqtaq: (bleep).
12
00:00:32,933 --> 00:00:35,067
Chip: Tried to fix it then,
did the best I could.
13
00:00:35,102 --> 00:00:37,069
But the boat,
it's still leaking.
14
00:00:37,104 --> 00:00:38,637
So, it's really tough
when you don't have a boat,
15
00:00:38,672 --> 00:00:39,972
and that's how you
make your living from.
16
00:00:40,007 --> 00:00:41,707
It's kind of like having,
uh, a truck.
17
00:00:41,742 --> 00:00:44,309
We drive like 50 miles stop
somewhere, get whatever,
18
00:00:44,345 --> 00:00:46,879
we bring it back in the boat
and we got there in the boat.
19
00:00:46,914 --> 00:00:49,581
This is how people
do things up here.
20
00:00:50,051 --> 00:00:51,550
Most people are
centered around boats.
21
00:00:51,585 --> 00:00:53,052
Agnes: So, he's just
gonna fly over and just
22
00:00:53,087 --> 00:00:54,753
drop something
out of his plane.
23
00:00:54,789 --> 00:00:56,688
Being out here,
in the country,
24
00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:58,757
we don't have the
tools we need here.
25
00:00:58,793 --> 00:01:02,161
So, we called our daughter and
she was able to find a pilot
26
00:01:02,463 --> 00:01:05,464
that would be able to
swing by on his way to one of
27
00:01:05,499 --> 00:01:07,566
the other near villages.
28
00:01:07,601 --> 00:01:10,035
Oh, there it is, look!
Go! The birds are flying.
29
00:01:10,971 --> 00:01:13,672
Chip: That's when I know
the plane is coming.
30
00:01:13,741 --> 00:01:15,207
Come on, ag.
31
00:01:16,811 --> 00:01:17,976
Prepare to be bombed?
32
00:01:18,012 --> 00:01:19,178
Agnes: Whoa.
33
00:01:19,213 --> 00:01:20,979
Chip: He's letting
us know he's here.
34
00:01:24,452 --> 00:01:25,617
Agnes:
That was a practice run.
35
00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:27,519
Chip: Yeah, practice round.
36
00:01:27,555 --> 00:01:28,921
Everybody
looks first, you know.
37
00:01:28,956 --> 00:01:31,056
Like in the aircraft,
you look before you do it.
38
00:01:31,092 --> 00:01:32,825
Also, instead of landing,
39
00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:34,726
and taking off and
burning all that fuel,
40
00:01:34,762 --> 00:01:36,562
he's simply just gonna
chuck it out the window.
41
00:01:37,598 --> 00:01:40,432
Agnes: Here he comes.
I guess he's gonna do it.
42
00:01:40,468 --> 00:01:41,934
Wild.
43
00:01:42,103 --> 00:01:43,936
Chip: He's lining up on us.
44
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:46,672
Agnes: Scary. Yikes!
45
00:01:50,044 --> 00:01:52,244
Whoa! Oh, my god!
46
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:55,247
Wow, there it is.
47
00:01:55,282 --> 00:01:56,615
Chip: Right on, skya.
Agnes: Whoo!
48
00:01:57,852 --> 00:02:00,052
Chip: Yeah, good man.
Agnes: That was scary!
49
00:02:00,321 --> 00:02:01,820
Chip: That was excellent.
50
00:02:03,491 --> 00:02:05,057
Agnes: Boy, he came
pretty low, huh?
51
00:02:05,092 --> 00:02:06,792
I almost thought he was
gonna hit us for a moment.
52
00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:08,127
Chip: Yeah. Okay.
53
00:02:08,162 --> 00:02:09,862
I've done that a
couple of times,
54
00:02:09,897 --> 00:02:11,130
like in the last 30 years.
55
00:02:11,165 --> 00:02:12,998
But never for a hammer before.
56
00:02:13,033 --> 00:02:14,633
Pull out, release.
57
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:16,235
(laughs)
58
00:02:16,871 --> 00:02:19,471
agnes: Wow.
Let's go open it up.
59
00:02:20,774 --> 00:02:23,242
Yay, we can fix our boat.
60
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:25,878
And that's how
you do an airdrop.
61
00:02:25,913 --> 00:02:28,080
Chip: That was bomb.
62
00:02:32,086 --> 00:02:35,754
Andy: I've always had this
desire inside of me to live
63
00:02:35,789 --> 00:02:40,392
closer to nature
and a life where you just
utilize what you have on hand,
64
00:02:40,427 --> 00:02:42,794
to do the things you need to do.
65
00:02:51,872 --> 00:02:52,971
Denise: Andy?
66
00:02:53,007 --> 00:02:54,206
Andy: Hey.
67
00:02:54,241 --> 00:02:56,174
I just was down at the river,
looking at the water level,
68
00:02:56,177 --> 00:02:57,409
it's really high.
69
00:02:57,444 --> 00:03:00,145
So, what I wanna do is take
advantage of that high water.
70
00:03:00,981 --> 00:03:03,482
Go down into that slough
we like to go back into,
71
00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:04,883
and build a tree stand,
72
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,618
so we can hunt
back there this fall.
73
00:03:06,654 --> 00:03:09,688
I want to build a,
uh, a tree stand.
74
00:03:09,723 --> 00:03:11,990
And not just a small little
tree stand that you sit your
75
00:03:12,026 --> 00:03:14,927
tail end on and, and sit
there for hours uncomfortably.
76
00:03:15,496 --> 00:03:18,664
I wanna build a tree stand
that denise and I can spend,
77
00:03:18,699 --> 00:03:21,233
uh, quite a bit of time
in and hopefully call in a
78
00:03:21,268 --> 00:03:24,670
moose or maybe spot a
black bear or a grizzly bear.
79
00:03:25,072 --> 00:03:26,838
Let's just take advantage
of this high water,
80
00:03:26,874 --> 00:03:29,508
and we can get all
this building materials
down there in a boat,
81
00:03:29,543 --> 00:03:31,610
instead of having to hump
it over through the woods and.
82
00:03:31,645 --> 00:03:32,578
Denise: That's a good idea.
83
00:03:32,613 --> 00:03:34,112
Andy: Over the hill and
through the dale and.
84
00:03:34,148 --> 00:03:35,113
Denise: Yeah.
85
00:03:35,149 --> 00:03:36,748
Andy: Or get
everything down there.
86
00:03:36,784 --> 00:03:39,084
Throw together this,
um, tree stand.
87
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:40,519
And then we got it forever.
88
00:03:54,268 --> 00:03:57,502
Denise: The slough is
a place we love to go.
89
00:03:57,571 --> 00:04:01,073
It does have multiple
purposes in what we need,
90
00:04:01,709 --> 00:04:03,208
moose, the bear.
91
00:04:03,244 --> 00:04:06,912
There's a lot
of berries and there's
a lot of fish in there.
92
00:04:07,181 --> 00:04:08,280
There's beavers in there.
93
00:04:08,315 --> 00:04:11,250
There's a lot of different
resources available to us.
94
00:04:15,489 --> 00:04:17,823
Denise: Okay. Hold on, grizz.
Hold on.
95
00:04:24,164 --> 00:04:26,765
Okay. That was pretty hard
on grizz's head.
96
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,733
Andy: Let's, uh.
97
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:29,268
Denise: Get a trail cut?
98
00:04:29,303 --> 00:04:32,204
Andy: Yeah. That's,
that's the tree I wanna try
and put a tree stand in.
99
00:04:32,239 --> 00:04:34,673
Denise: Okay. So, you're
gonna cut straight in?
100
00:04:35,542 --> 00:04:37,309
Andy: Yeah. I'm gonna cut
a trail right to there.
101
00:04:37,344 --> 00:04:38,277
Denise: Okay.
102
00:04:38,312 --> 00:04:39,444
Andy: I'm just gonna
cut and let 'em fall,
103
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,545
and maybe if you throw
them out of the way.
104
00:04:40,581 --> 00:04:42,281
And I think I'm just
gonna cut high right now,
105
00:04:42,316 --> 00:04:44,216
and then we'll cut, come
through and cut the stumps out.
106
00:04:44,251 --> 00:04:45,384
Denise: Cut low. Okay.
107
00:04:45,419 --> 00:04:46,652
Andy: And then once
we get a good trail,
108
00:04:46,687 --> 00:04:48,520
then we'll just carry all
this building material up and
109
00:04:48,555 --> 00:04:52,124
we'll cut around the tree,
so we have some room to work.
110
00:04:52,159 --> 00:04:54,326
And then we'll stack
all this material there and
111
00:04:54,361 --> 00:04:55,627
build it whenever.
112
00:04:55,663 --> 00:04:58,397
Denise:
That's nice with, straight in.
113
00:05:00,134 --> 00:05:02,334
Be careful, grizz.
114
00:05:07,141 --> 00:05:08,907
Andy: We wanted to build
this early enough that we
115
00:05:08,942 --> 00:05:10,676
could do it when
it wasn't hunting season,
116
00:05:10,711 --> 00:05:14,413
so we could make
all the noise we want and
not scare the game away.
117
00:05:14,715 --> 00:05:16,515
A lot of hunters going by.
118
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:18,784
But there are a lot of
hunters on the yukon river and
119
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:21,586
I'm competing
against those hunters.
120
00:05:21,622 --> 00:05:24,990
So, it's kind of forcing me
to go off the beaten path a
121
00:05:25,025 --> 00:05:26,725
little bit more to go hunt.
122
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,360
Now, that kind of bugs me.
123
00:05:28,395 --> 00:05:30,896
It's a lot more work once
you get an animal down,
124
00:05:30,931 --> 00:05:33,198
to have to pack it a
quarter or a half mile back
125
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:34,466
to your boat.
126
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:38,270
But it's worth doing that
work to get the animal.
127
00:05:43,143 --> 00:05:44,776
I think that's pretty good.
128
00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:46,111
Denise: Okay.
129
00:05:46,146 --> 00:05:47,245
Andy: Whew!
130
00:05:47,281 --> 00:05:48,847
I think we may have
to do a little bit of,
131
00:05:48,882 --> 00:05:50,782
a little bit of clearing of
some of this brush around here
132
00:05:50,818 --> 00:05:52,217
but I think for the most part,
133
00:05:52,286 --> 00:05:54,386
we'll have a pretty
good spot here.
134
00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:57,889
Okay. Let's get these
building materials up to our
135
00:05:57,925 --> 00:06:00,726
building spot, so I
can build you a building.
136
00:06:00,761 --> 00:06:02,894
Denise: Okay.
137
00:06:08,402 --> 00:06:09,901
Jessie:
Every year you live here,
138
00:06:09,937 --> 00:06:11,870
you just learn how to do
things easier and smarter,
139
00:06:11,905 --> 00:06:13,939
not harder.
140
00:06:23,584 --> 00:06:25,517
Jessie: Hey, girl.
You're ready, huh?
141
00:06:25,552 --> 00:06:27,219
I'm gonna get
you set up, babe.
142
00:06:27,955 --> 00:06:30,489
I've bred four females
here this spring.
143
00:06:30,524 --> 00:06:32,457
And they're getting
close to the time where
144
00:06:32,493 --> 00:06:34,893
they're gonna have their
pups in a week or so.
145
00:06:34,928 --> 00:06:37,562
Vivian, she's really,
uh, far along.
146
00:06:37,598 --> 00:06:39,865
She's gonna be the
first out of these girls to
147
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:41,967
have her pups.
148
00:06:44,605 --> 00:06:45,670
Okay.
149
00:06:45,706 --> 00:06:47,139
Got everything here I
should need to build, uh,
150
00:06:47,174 --> 00:06:49,241
vivian a nice whelping box.
151
00:06:51,845 --> 00:06:54,279
Whelping boxes are designed
to protect the mom and
152
00:06:54,314 --> 00:06:55,981
the pups from the elements.
153
00:06:56,016 --> 00:06:58,417
Make it easy for her
to come in and out,
154
00:06:58,452 --> 00:07:00,652
but also make it easy
for me to have the access
155
00:07:00,687 --> 00:07:02,721
to the pups.
156
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:04,055
Yeah.
157
00:07:08,128 --> 00:07:11,029
Yeah, I can tell vivian's
close by the way she's acting.
158
00:07:11,064 --> 00:07:13,632
I gotta get this built.
159
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:19,738
Vivian's right here.
160
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:22,641
She seems to be enjoying
watching me work.
161
00:07:22,676 --> 00:07:23,742
She's full of pups.
162
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:25,444
She's a little bit
uncomfortable right now
163
00:07:25,479 --> 00:07:26,678
before her birth.
164
00:07:26,713 --> 00:07:30,315
It's nice that I can be here
and give her that moral support.
165
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:32,117
She's watching me work for
her and I believe that she
166
00:07:32,152 --> 00:07:34,419
honestly knows that
I'm doing this for her.
167
00:07:34,455 --> 00:07:36,188
She knows that this
is gonna be her house.
168
00:07:36,223 --> 00:07:37,789
I can tell by the way
she's looking at it.
169
00:07:37,825 --> 00:07:39,224
She sees the door.
170
00:07:39,259 --> 00:07:41,159
She says,
"that's for me."
171
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:45,263
yeah, this is gonna
be your new home.
172
00:07:45,299 --> 00:07:46,631
Yeah, for your puppies.
173
00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:48,233
You're gonna like it.
174
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:49,768
Got lots of room in there.
175
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:51,937
I'm almost done.
176
00:07:55,042 --> 00:07:56,508
This is gonna
work out perfect.
177
00:07:56,543 --> 00:07:58,743
Next step is to
move the house in.
178
00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:01,179
That way, she can
start feeling comfortable
about her new home.
179
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:11,189
Okay. Out with the old
and in with the new.
180
00:08:11,625 --> 00:08:15,327
You're gonna be styling, vivs.
181
00:08:24,771 --> 00:08:28,306
♪ ♪
182
00:08:29,576 --> 00:08:31,176
it's ready to bring vivian in.
183
00:08:31,211 --> 00:08:32,978
See what she thinks.
184
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:38,550
Go, go on in.
185
00:08:38,585 --> 00:08:41,253
You go check it out, babe.
186
00:08:41,688 --> 00:08:42,988
Yeah, there's nice
bedding in there for you.
187
00:08:43,023 --> 00:08:45,657
Go on. Come here.
188
00:08:48,462 --> 00:08:49,961
Come on, vivs.
189
00:08:50,531 --> 00:08:52,264
Vivs.
190
00:08:52,299 --> 00:08:53,632
Vivian.
191
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:55,100
Vivian?
192
00:08:55,135 --> 00:08:56,268
Good girl.
193
00:08:56,303 --> 00:08:59,337
There you go.
Come on. Come on.
194
00:08:59,606 --> 00:09:01,373
There you go.
195
00:09:01,408 --> 00:09:04,142
Isn't that nice?
Isn't that nice?
196
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:07,212
Looks like vivian likes
her new little spot here.
197
00:09:07,247 --> 00:09:10,248
I'm just gonna hang out with
her, let her get comfortable.
198
00:09:10,284 --> 00:09:12,851
My saying is, there's plenty
of space for me to hang out in
199
00:09:12,886 --> 00:09:14,819
here too when the
puppies are being born.
200
00:09:14,855 --> 00:09:16,054
Keep an eye on her.
201
00:09:16,089 --> 00:09:18,857
Now that I got the whelping
box built, vivian approves it.
202
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:21,326
It's time to let her
get comfortable with it,
203
00:09:21,361 --> 00:09:23,995
and I just gotta keep
a close eye on vivian.
204
00:09:26,733 --> 00:09:30,268
Sue: As the ecology of the area,
as the weather patterns,
205
00:09:31,271 --> 00:09:34,739
as everything changes,
the animals change with it.
206
00:09:47,588 --> 00:09:50,322
Sue: Time to do a
little bird hunting.
207
00:09:51,758 --> 00:09:53,692
I've got caribou
in the freezer,
208
00:09:53,727 --> 00:09:55,760
but I wanna dip in
on some feathers.
209
00:09:55,796 --> 00:09:57,629
I've seen some bird activity.
210
00:09:57,664 --> 00:10:00,298
I've got rock ptarmigan,
willow ptarmigan,
211
00:10:00,334 --> 00:10:02,934
and this is an area where
they tend to congregate.
212
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:08,807
Sometimes, the smaller game
is, uh, is really overlooked,
213
00:10:09,543 --> 00:10:11,676
as far as how important it is.
214
00:10:11,712 --> 00:10:13,712
You've gotta depend
on the smaller and the
215
00:10:13,747 --> 00:10:16,648
more numerous game.
216
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:19,718
It just takes a little bit
more to fill the belly.
217
00:10:20,253 --> 00:10:22,954
So, how do you check
who's in your neighborhood?
218
00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:24,656
You look in their habitat.
219
00:10:24,691 --> 00:10:26,524
You look where
their signs are.
220
00:10:26,593 --> 00:10:28,360
They like the willow,
they eat the willow,
221
00:10:28,395 --> 00:10:30,128
they roost in the willow.
222
00:10:30,163 --> 00:10:33,832
So, I'll start looking
around the brush.
223
00:10:33,867 --> 00:10:37,636
Uh, on the edges,
and get down in here.
224
00:10:37,671 --> 00:10:40,505
They think they're
all that and a side
of fries, being sneaky.
225
00:10:41,241 --> 00:10:44,542
So, you kind of wanna get in
there and be sneaky with them.
226
00:10:46,613 --> 00:10:49,047
Bird hunting is a whole
lot of reconnaissance.
227
00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:57,856
Poopy, poopy, old poopy,
older poopy, newer poopy.
228
00:11:00,093 --> 00:11:03,028
So, there's definitely
ptarmigan biscuits.
229
00:11:03,063 --> 00:11:05,397
Where you at, ptarmies?
230
00:11:09,336 --> 00:11:11,503
Where are the
freaking ptarmies?
231
00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:16,174
Whoa.
232
00:11:16,209 --> 00:11:20,311
I've got a little spot here
that looks kind of dug up.
233
00:11:20,981 --> 00:11:23,281
Bears do that.
234
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:27,152
The bear track
right here, this is super fresh.
235
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:30,522
Okay, that's kind of changing
things around a little bit now.
236
00:11:30,824 --> 00:11:32,891
That, I'm not cool with.
237
00:11:32,926 --> 00:11:35,360
This is more worrisome.
238
00:11:36,129 --> 00:11:39,297
Doesn't mean I'm gonna run
off frightened this moment,
239
00:11:40,901 --> 00:11:46,404
but it definitely is gonna put
me on a higher state of alert.
240
00:11:47,641 --> 00:11:51,242
Bears are one of the only
creatures that can be so big,
241
00:11:51,278 --> 00:11:55,346
800 pounds of fun, and
you never hear a sound.
242
00:11:57,818 --> 00:11:59,851
I really wanna get some birds,
243
00:11:59,886 --> 00:12:02,921
but I do not wanna become
the bird that gets caught.
244
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:06,257
You got a bear print,
you got caribou prints.
245
00:12:06,293 --> 00:12:08,893
Looks like a zillion birds.
246
00:12:13,633 --> 00:12:14,999
Stop.
247
00:12:15,569 --> 00:12:16,868
Dammit.
248
00:12:16,903 --> 00:12:18,570
(groans)
249
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:21,606
well, I just scared
up some ptarmigans.
250
00:12:22,909 --> 00:12:25,076
There may still be
one or two in here.
251
00:12:25,712 --> 00:12:28,179
Let's see if I can't
put a sneak on them.
252
00:12:28,548 --> 00:12:29,614
As a remote person,
253
00:12:29,649 --> 00:12:32,083
if that animal doesn't
come within range,
254
00:12:32,119 --> 00:12:34,586
it's like having
a traveling store.
255
00:12:34,621 --> 00:12:37,055
If you didn't get
up at the right time,
256
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:38,923
you missed it.
257
00:12:41,661 --> 00:12:43,027
I heard something.
258
00:12:43,063 --> 00:12:44,796
(distant chuckle)
259
00:12:44,831 --> 00:12:46,631
that's a chuckle.
260
00:12:46,666 --> 00:12:48,867
(distant chuckle)
261
00:12:48,902 --> 00:12:50,769
I just heard it again.
262
00:12:51,505 --> 00:12:53,171
Just a little cluck-cluck.
263
00:12:55,575 --> 00:12:57,075
I heard it right in here.
264
00:13:02,682 --> 00:13:04,115
There he is.
265
00:13:07,921 --> 00:13:08,953
(gunshot)
266
00:13:17,264 --> 00:13:19,063
(gunshot).
267
00:13:20,901 --> 00:13:23,134
Sue: This guy's down.
268
00:13:23,170 --> 00:13:25,870
There was another one
that flew right over here.
269
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:38,716
(gunshot).
270
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:43,021
I'm collecting this bird,
the other bird and, uh,
271
00:13:43,056 --> 00:13:46,090
I wanna get out
of the bear territory.
272
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:48,693
Thank you, buddy.
273
00:13:49,796 --> 00:13:52,330
I'm coming through, bear-bear.
274
00:13:53,366 --> 00:13:56,401
Thank you, little ptarmy.
275
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:00,438
So one, and two.
276
00:14:00,473 --> 00:14:02,807
I'm very concerned about
all the bear activity.
277
00:14:02,843 --> 00:14:06,377
So, I'm gonna leave this area.
278
00:14:06,413 --> 00:14:07,745
Um, yup.
279
00:14:07,781 --> 00:14:10,582
There's another bird, maybe
more floating around back here.
280
00:14:10,617 --> 00:14:16,154
But it feels a little bit like
I'm kind of attending a party
281
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:18,289
I wasn't invited to.
282
00:14:18,325 --> 00:14:20,658
So, I can maybe let
them have this area,
283
00:14:20,694 --> 00:14:22,794
and, uh, and keep hunting.
284
00:14:22,829 --> 00:14:26,297
There's a million free
acres right now that I'm in.
285
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:29,434
I don't need to
take up his spot.
286
00:14:31,972 --> 00:14:34,038
Chip: The water, we don't only
drink it and cook with it and
287
00:14:34,074 --> 00:14:36,174
wash with it, we travel in it.
288
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:38,176
Our food comes from the
ocean and the rivers.
289
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:40,445
And they're our roads.
290
00:14:49,356 --> 00:14:53,491
Start the day,
every day, this way.
291
00:14:55,362 --> 00:15:01,766
My daughter hit a rock last year
and really messed my boat up.
292
00:15:02,802 --> 00:15:04,269
When this thing
struck the rock,
293
00:15:04,304 --> 00:15:06,871
it upset all these rivets
and it bent all these ribs.
294
00:15:06,907 --> 00:15:09,807
Now it's time to just try
to fix it one more time.
295
00:15:09,843 --> 00:15:11,809
Narrator: The hailstones
rely on boats for travel and
296
00:15:11,845 --> 00:15:14,579
freighting along
the kiwalik river.
297
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:16,814
But the damage to their
larger vessel from last year's
298
00:15:16,850 --> 00:15:19,751
collision has left
it prone to leaks.
299
00:15:20,287 --> 00:15:22,186
After being
airdropped needed tools,
300
00:15:22,222 --> 00:15:25,056
chip must repair the craft
if it is to be usable for
301
00:15:25,091 --> 00:15:27,825
the remainder of summer.
302
00:15:27,861 --> 00:15:29,994
Chip: Okay.
We're gonna wash it out.
303
00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:31,496
Edward: You wanted
the inside clean?
304
00:15:31,531 --> 00:15:33,331
Chip: Yeah.
305
00:15:34,234 --> 00:15:36,467
Edward: You're
gonna help, too, son?
306
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:39,470
Chip: There you go.
Thank you.
307
00:15:41,675 --> 00:15:43,641
Splash at the dirt.
Yeah, there you go.
308
00:15:43,677 --> 00:15:45,209
Wow, you got lots
that come down.
309
00:15:45,245 --> 00:15:46,377
Good job.
310
00:15:46,413 --> 00:15:48,012
Little guy's gonna have to
know how to take care of a
311
00:15:48,048 --> 00:15:49,914
boat someday, might
as well start now.
312
00:15:57,490 --> 00:15:59,257
Chip: Oh, he's really getting
the muck out of there, isn't he?
313
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:03,094
Agnes: Good job.
What a good splash.
314
00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:04,629
Chip: Okay.
I'm gonna rinse.
315
00:16:04,664 --> 00:16:08,433
We're gonna do some
bucket splashing.
316
00:16:13,406 --> 00:16:15,707
I think we're done.
317
00:16:18,578 --> 00:16:20,578
These ladies are gonna get
their fishing stuff ready.
318
00:16:20,613 --> 00:16:21,846
Edward: And dry off.
319
00:16:21,881 --> 00:16:23,281
Chip: Yeah, we'll let it dry
off, so we can smack it clean.
320
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:24,415
It'll probably
take a little while,
321
00:16:24,451 --> 00:16:26,117
but we got a good breeze.
322
00:16:26,152 --> 00:16:28,519
Agnes: Nice day to set net.
Tide is up.
323
00:16:28,555 --> 00:16:31,689
We're gonna be
setting a net here.
324
00:16:31,725 --> 00:16:32,890
Chip: All right.
325
00:16:32,926 --> 00:16:34,158
We got a little bit of time
while it just sits here and
326
00:16:34,194 --> 00:16:35,760
does nothing but dries.
327
00:16:35,795 --> 00:16:38,262
Agnes: We're gonna be
hopefully catching some silvers.
328
00:16:38,298 --> 00:16:39,464
Carol: Yum.
329
00:16:39,499 --> 00:16:40,999
Chip: I have small
boat for net-checking.
330
00:16:41,034 --> 00:16:43,234
And I got a big boat that I
use for traveling and hunting.
331
00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:46,070
And while one's down,
there's always a second one.
332
00:16:46,106 --> 00:16:47,772
Wade: Now to put
it in the water?
333
00:16:47,807 --> 00:16:50,174
Agnes: Yup, now to
put it in the water.
334
00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:53,344
I'm gonna drive and carol's
gonna throw the rock in.
335
00:16:53,380 --> 00:16:55,747
Shall we?
336
00:16:55,782 --> 00:16:57,582
Carol: Me and my mom are
setting the net while qutan
337
00:16:57,617 --> 00:16:59,350
feeds it out to us.
338
00:16:59,419 --> 00:17:01,619
So she makes sure
it's not tangled.
339
00:17:01,654 --> 00:17:03,588
Is it going too fast?
340
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:05,623
Agnes: You got it, qutan?
Qutan: Yeah.
341
00:17:05,658 --> 00:17:07,625
Agnes: We're
targeting the silverfish.
342
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:10,294
They're really fat and they're
really good meat and usually
343
00:17:10,330 --> 00:17:13,097
this time of the year,
this is when they run.
344
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:15,366
So, we're hoping to
catch a whole bunch.
345
00:17:15,402 --> 00:17:18,302
Dry them up, sell some,
make some smoked salmon.
346
00:17:18,338 --> 00:17:20,004
Looks real good, qutan!
347
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,305
Okay. You can pull tight.
348
00:17:21,341 --> 00:17:23,674
Whenever you want to
let go, you could.
349
00:17:24,844 --> 00:17:27,979
Now we're able to just
wait for the fish to hit.
350
00:17:33,787 --> 00:17:35,186
Andy: It's good
living out in the bush.
351
00:17:35,221 --> 00:17:36,821
It's not for everyone.
352
00:17:36,856 --> 00:17:38,723
But if it's something
that you really wanna do,
353
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:42,093
it's probably one of the
most rewarding things
you can do in your life.
354
00:17:47,467 --> 00:17:49,700
I'll take that big one.
355
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:51,502
Let me get that one,
then you can carry those.
356
00:17:51,538 --> 00:17:53,137
Denise: Okay.
357
00:17:53,173 --> 00:17:55,406
Narrator: Andy and denise have
arrived at the site where they
358
00:17:55,442 --> 00:17:58,142
will build a tree stand, a
structure that will increase
359
00:17:58,178 --> 00:18:01,779
their odds at spotting
wildlife for future hunts.
360
00:18:01,815 --> 00:18:04,982
They have found an
optimal location and
tree for the lookout,
361
00:18:04,984 --> 00:18:08,152
and now the dangerous
work will begin.
362
00:18:08,188 --> 00:18:11,289
Andy: I'll get the ladder
set up and start taking
some of these limbs off,
363
00:18:11,324 --> 00:18:14,692
and you can just throw these
limbs out of the way here.
364
00:18:14,727 --> 00:18:15,860
Denise: Hm.
365
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:18,729
Andy: A tree stand really
offers a lot as advantages.
366
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:21,766
The only disadvantage
is it's only one place.
367
00:18:21,801 --> 00:18:24,235
So, you got to put in a place
where you're pretty confident
368
00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:27,638
there are game trails and
game movement in the area,
369
00:18:27,674 --> 00:18:30,975
otherwise you're
wasting your time.
370
00:18:32,145 --> 00:18:33,945
Perfect.
371
00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:36,447
Stand away from me.
372
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:43,688
It's one thing to climb a
ladder and then run a chainsaw.
373
00:18:43,723 --> 00:18:45,957
That's something I wouldn't
recommend to someone who
374
00:18:45,992 --> 00:18:47,658
hasn't done it a bunch.
375
00:18:47,694 --> 00:18:49,093
They're really
dangerous and they can,
376
00:18:49,129 --> 00:18:52,196
they can bite you
really hard, really quick.
377
00:18:55,502 --> 00:18:57,168
Denise: There's something
about seeing that chainsaw
378
00:18:57,203 --> 00:19:00,872
over my head, and falling
branches and wobbly ladders.
379
00:19:01,574 --> 00:19:04,942
Oh, that was a stubborn one.
380
00:19:04,978 --> 00:19:09,514
Andy: Oh. Okay.
I think that'll work.
381
00:19:12,585 --> 00:19:17,588
(drill whirring).
382
00:19:17,624 --> 00:19:20,057
I just, I want 'em in the
board when I get up there.
383
00:19:20,093 --> 00:19:22,160
I don't wanna have to
be clinging onto them.
384
00:19:22,195 --> 00:19:23,594
Denise: Right. Yeah.
The less you have to do.
385
00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:25,730
That was kind of creepy being
right underneath you with that
386
00:19:25,765 --> 00:19:30,067
chainsaw and one
hand up over your head,
387
00:19:30,103 --> 00:19:32,670
limbing a tree like
that on a wobbly ladder.
388
00:19:32,705 --> 00:19:34,939
On a hillside.
389
00:19:34,974 --> 00:19:36,440
Andy: So, what I'm
thinking we can do denise,
390
00:19:36,476 --> 00:19:38,876
let's hoist it up there.
391
00:19:38,912 --> 00:19:41,779
You pull up on it, and I'll
just walk up the ladder with it.
392
00:19:47,954 --> 00:19:51,022
Almost looked like we knew
what the hell we were doing.
393
00:19:51,057 --> 00:19:53,291
Almost.
394
00:19:56,963 --> 00:20:00,198
Ooh, that sucked it in good.
395
00:20:00,233 --> 00:20:02,667
I don't feel
comfortable hanging on that.
396
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:04,769
All right, well
that went good.
397
00:20:04,804 --> 00:20:05,736
Watch it!
398
00:20:16,282 --> 00:20:19,317
Andy: Ooh, that
sucked it in good.
399
00:20:19,352 --> 00:20:22,386
I don't feel
comfortable hanging on that.
400
00:20:22,422 --> 00:20:24,222
All right, well
that went good.
401
00:20:24,257 --> 00:20:25,923
Watch it!
402
00:20:26,826 --> 00:20:30,595
Denise: That
could've been bad.
403
00:20:31,331 --> 00:20:34,699
Andy's up there working
directly above me with tools,
404
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:38,269
equipment, boards,
chainsaws, running chainsaws,
405
00:20:38,304 --> 00:20:41,939
and so I had to have my third
eye always looking up and
406
00:20:41,975 --> 00:20:44,909
honing in on what might
come down on my head.
407
00:20:44,944 --> 00:20:46,711
Andy: Okay.
So that's a good lesson.
408
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:48,879
Don't stand right
underneath me, okay?
409
00:20:49,983 --> 00:20:51,282
Denise: Hi, grizz.
410
00:20:51,317 --> 00:20:54,552
Andy: Probably keep him away
too, so I don't skewer him.
411
00:20:55,655 --> 00:20:58,122
When you're hanging off of the
last rung or two of a ladder,
412
00:20:58,191 --> 00:21:01,425
15 or 16 feet up in the air,
you really better know what
413
00:21:01,461 --> 00:21:02,727
you're doing.
414
00:21:02,762 --> 00:21:04,996
Because when things go wrong,
things fall.
415
00:21:05,031 --> 00:21:07,598
And, uh, if you're
not looking up, man,
416
00:21:07,634 --> 00:21:09,634
you can get
clocked pretty good.
417
00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:13,504
Up. Hook it up.
418
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:15,873
Okay.
419
00:21:21,114 --> 00:21:23,814
Okay. You can let go,
it's not gonna go anywhere.
420
00:21:25,852 --> 00:21:27,251
Seems pretty good.
421
00:21:27,287 --> 00:21:30,621
Denise: That's really good.
The foundation is laid.
422
00:21:30,657 --> 00:21:32,723
Andy: The first couple of boards
are the really important ones.
423
00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:36,560
If you start level, then
that's a good starting point.
424
00:21:40,433 --> 00:21:42,767
I always say the most
important things are food,
425
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,835
shelter, and clothing.
426
00:21:44,904 --> 00:21:47,505
And, uh, food for
me is number one.
427
00:21:47,540 --> 00:21:50,274
I try and keep my
freezers as full as I can.
428
00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:52,710
The number one thing
for me is protein.
429
00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:54,545
If you don't have protein,
you don't have energy.
430
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:56,781
If you don't have energy, it's
pretty hard to get the work
431
00:21:56,816 --> 00:21:59,450
done out here that
you need to get done.
432
00:21:59,485 --> 00:22:01,352
You burn a lot of energy
when you live out here,
433
00:22:01,387 --> 00:22:04,221
and you gotta eat well.
434
00:22:04,724 --> 00:22:06,724
Almost home free.
435
00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:08,926
I know one thing,
tarzan's got nothing on me.
436
00:22:08,961 --> 00:22:11,362
(denise laughing).
437
00:22:12,932 --> 00:22:14,999
Chip: We work, we stay warm,
and we stay happy.
438
00:22:15,034 --> 00:22:17,201
We just keep moving
forward as best we can.
439
00:22:17,236 --> 00:22:19,770
If you don't work,
nothing works.
440
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,813
I figured we should
probably just get started with,
441
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:31,215
um, hitting every
rivet along here.
442
00:22:31,250 --> 00:22:33,184
Just going along it,
pow-pow-pow-pow-pow from top
443
00:22:33,219 --> 00:22:35,219
to bottom would
probably be best.
444
00:22:36,122 --> 00:22:37,655
So, if you'll just
back them up with a,
445
00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:39,590
face of the hammer
to the flat spot,
446
00:22:39,625 --> 00:22:41,792
I'll smack these
suckers toward you.
447
00:22:41,828 --> 00:22:43,361
Get underneath there and I'll
give it two hits and we'll
448
00:22:43,396 --> 00:22:44,929
move to the next one below it.
449
00:22:44,964 --> 00:22:45,896
So, you ready?
450
00:22:45,932 --> 00:22:47,765
Edward: Yeah.
451
00:22:49,402 --> 00:22:51,535
Chip: Okay.
The next one down.
452
00:22:51,571 --> 00:22:54,872
That's a solid hit there.
Yeah, there we go.
453
00:22:54,907 --> 00:22:57,074
Okay. The next one up.
454
00:22:58,444 --> 00:23:00,177
Edward: You can't just pound
one side of the rivet without
455
00:23:00,213 --> 00:23:01,812
it getting loose.
456
00:23:01,848 --> 00:23:03,547
You know, you don't have
long enough arms to be on both
457
00:23:03,583 --> 00:23:06,417
sides of the boat, so
it's a two-person job.
458
00:23:06,452 --> 00:23:10,087
Chip: Next, next.
459
00:23:11,758 --> 00:23:13,991
We'll just get a rhythm
down and get her done.
460
00:23:18,731 --> 00:23:21,799
Edward: We pounded about
at least, 80, 90 rivets.
461
00:23:21,834 --> 00:23:23,234
Me holding it up
from the bottom,
462
00:23:23,269 --> 00:23:25,269
inside, too, just
holding my arms up.
463
00:23:25,304 --> 00:23:28,038
It can get a little tiring,
but all of us need the
boat, you know.
464
00:23:28,074 --> 00:23:29,573
It's summertime.
465
00:23:33,446 --> 00:23:35,179
Chip: Kind of pounding
on your head in there, huh?
466
00:23:35,214 --> 00:23:38,416
Edward: Yeah.
Need some earmuffs, eh.
467
00:23:42,622 --> 00:23:44,555
Qutan: So we're
just gonna get poles?
468
00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:45,923
Agnes: Yup.
Qutan: From there?
469
00:23:45,958 --> 00:23:49,794
Agnes: Turn these old
poles into a fish rack.
470
00:23:51,264 --> 00:23:53,330
Carol: So while my dad and
edward are working on the boat,
471
00:23:53,366 --> 00:23:56,100
qutan, my mom, and I are
gonna be building a fish rack.
472
00:23:56,135 --> 00:23:57,868
We call it a iniksuk out here.
473
00:23:57,904 --> 00:24:00,304
Every fish camp in the summer
is gonna have one of these.
474
00:24:00,339 --> 00:24:02,139
It's just useful for
pretty much anything.
475
00:24:02,175 --> 00:24:04,141
What you want to dry or hang.
476
00:24:04,177 --> 00:24:05,443
Qutan: Are you
trying to put it up?
477
00:24:05,478 --> 00:24:08,245
Agnes: Yeah.
Whoa, whoa.
478
00:24:08,281 --> 00:24:09,580
Qutan: Just pull yourself.
479
00:24:09,615 --> 00:24:10,915
Agnes: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
480
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:12,016
Good.
481
00:24:12,051 --> 00:24:13,751
Carol: Okay.
One, two, three go.
482
00:24:13,786 --> 00:24:14,919
You guys are way too close.
483
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:17,488
Qutan: One, two, three.
Carol: Now, pull.
484
00:24:18,257 --> 00:24:21,058
Agnes: Carol, go that way.
485
00:24:21,093 --> 00:24:22,293
Chip: Let me know when, ed.
486
00:24:22,328 --> 00:24:24,295
Edward: Go ahead, spin it in.
487
00:24:24,330 --> 00:24:25,796
Chip: Up here, at
lease in this society,
488
00:24:25,832 --> 00:24:27,531
men work together and
women work together.
489
00:24:27,567 --> 00:24:30,668
It's more of a
traditional division of labor.
490
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:32,803
And we all work
together when we need to.
491
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:36,640
But the fact is, I just
do the heavy work and
they do the steady work.
492
00:24:36,676 --> 00:24:37,808
Carol: Ready to hang it in?
493
00:24:37,844 --> 00:24:40,478
Qutan: Ready.
494
00:24:41,881 --> 00:24:45,115
Agnes: It's always fun
to do things with the
kids and the grandkids.
495
00:24:45,151 --> 00:24:47,785
Of course, we build the rack
and set the net and once the
496
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:52,323
fish hits, hopefully we can
have a nice silver or a chum
497
00:24:52,358 --> 00:24:56,527
and be able to have a
nice dinner and have a
taste of the rewards.
498
00:24:57,129 --> 00:24:59,396
Look like that's enough, huh?
499
00:24:59,432 --> 00:25:02,099
Qutan: Yeah.
500
00:25:03,636 --> 00:25:06,070
Agnes: Wow, looks pretty good.
Carol: Awesome.
501
00:25:06,105 --> 00:25:07,338
Qutan: It's ready for fish?
502
00:25:07,373 --> 00:25:10,374
Agnes: Yes, it
definitely is ready for fish.
503
00:25:14,146 --> 00:25:15,412
Jessie: I'm not gonna
do nothing that I'm not
504
00:25:15,448 --> 00:25:17,481
passionate about.
505
00:25:26,392 --> 00:25:31,428
♪ ♪
506
00:25:33,866 --> 00:25:36,066
now that I built one of these,
I kind of got a good idea what
507
00:25:36,102 --> 00:25:37,434
I wanna do.
508
00:25:37,470 --> 00:25:39,069
And all these measurements
are just in my head,
509
00:25:39,105 --> 00:25:43,240
so I can crank out most of my
pieces to get started in one
510
00:25:43,276 --> 00:25:45,409
little go here.
511
00:25:46,012 --> 00:25:48,212
Vivian's got her box.
She's all set.
512
00:25:48,247 --> 00:25:49,813
She's getting
comfortable with it.
513
00:25:49,849 --> 00:25:51,715
I'm gonna start building
the ones for the other girls.
514
00:25:51,751 --> 00:25:53,517
They're a few
days off, but, uh,
515
00:25:53,553 --> 00:25:55,519
I'll be well-prepared
and they'll be able to get
516
00:25:55,555 --> 00:25:58,055
comfortable with
their new houses.
517
00:25:58,090 --> 00:25:59,757
I got all my lumber here.
518
00:25:59,792 --> 00:26:01,325
I wanted to get everything
here to where I'm here for the
519
00:26:01,327 --> 00:26:02,793
rest of the day.
520
00:26:02,828 --> 00:26:04,628
I got three more
boxes to build.
521
00:26:04,664 --> 00:26:06,697
These I'm gonna be building
a little bit more permanent,
522
00:26:06,732 --> 00:26:08,265
taking the things
that I learned.
523
00:26:08,301 --> 00:26:10,000
You know, first
whelping box I built,
524
00:26:10,036 --> 00:26:12,436
I can see a few little
modifications I wanna do.
525
00:26:12,471 --> 00:26:14,672
Take a little bit of
extra time with these.
526
00:26:14,707 --> 00:26:17,875
I'm not in a huge,
pressured rush.
527
00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:19,043
Hi, vivs.
528
00:26:19,078 --> 00:26:20,578
You getting
comfortable in there?
529
00:26:20,613 --> 00:26:23,113
Oh yeah, you look
like you're due soon, baby.
530
00:26:23,149 --> 00:26:26,750
Also gives me a great
opportunity to be right
here with vivian,
531
00:26:26,786 --> 00:26:28,586
be able to keep
a close eye on her.
532
00:26:28,621 --> 00:26:31,121
You know, while
staying productive.
533
00:26:31,157 --> 00:26:33,791
Name of the game out
here is killing two
birds with one stone.
534
00:26:33,826 --> 00:26:35,960
I need to be on
close call for vivian.
535
00:26:35,995 --> 00:26:38,162
I need to be being productive.
536
00:26:38,197 --> 00:26:41,532
Figured out a way to do
everything right here.
537
00:26:53,846 --> 00:26:56,046
I put my heart and my soul and
my passion into everything
538
00:26:56,082 --> 00:26:57,815
I do with my dogs.
539
00:26:57,850 --> 00:26:59,850
I wanna be the top kennel.
540
00:26:59,885 --> 00:27:02,820
Not in alaska, in the world.
541
00:27:02,855 --> 00:27:05,089
And when it comes together,
three, four years from now,
542
00:27:05,124 --> 00:27:07,691
it's gonna be something that
I'm gonna be super proud of,
543
00:27:07,727 --> 00:27:11,362
that I built out here in the
bush, in the wilderness.
544
00:27:16,435 --> 00:27:17,935
Okay.
545
00:27:17,970 --> 00:27:20,037
I've made some modifications.
546
00:27:20,072 --> 00:27:22,606
Have a four-inch step here.
547
00:27:22,642 --> 00:27:24,475
The pups will have to be about
three weeks old before they'll
548
00:27:24,510 --> 00:27:27,144
ever even be able to
make it up and over this.
549
00:27:27,179 --> 00:27:29,413
And whenever they do, it's
about time that they get out
550
00:27:29,448 --> 00:27:31,649
and explore the
new outside world.
551
00:27:31,684 --> 00:27:32,850
Get some sunshine.
552
00:27:32,885 --> 00:27:35,352
Got a little ramp here, so
they'll be able to easily make
553
00:27:35,388 --> 00:27:37,187
their way back in.
554
00:27:37,223 --> 00:27:39,590
I've, uh, added a little
bit more headspace into the
555
00:27:39,625 --> 00:27:41,525
bedroom for the female.
556
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,960
Based on what
I've seen, you know,
557
00:27:42,995 --> 00:27:46,130
with vivian, a little bit of
space will be even better.
558
00:27:46,165 --> 00:27:48,599
Still got a nice little living
room for the puppies to play
559
00:27:48,634 --> 00:27:50,234
around in, out of
their, you know,
560
00:27:50,269 --> 00:27:51,735
sleeping quarters.
561
00:27:51,771 --> 00:27:55,005
And then, nice thing is
move, roof's removable.
562
00:27:55,041 --> 00:27:57,241
The bed's removable.
563
00:27:57,276 --> 00:27:59,677
Whenever all the pups
are about 10 weeks old,
564
00:27:59,712 --> 00:28:01,578
and the mom's not
with them anymore,
565
00:28:01,614 --> 00:28:03,380
they can all crash
out in here together.
566
00:28:03,416 --> 00:28:05,616
And that four inches will
help hold the bed again,
567
00:28:05,651 --> 00:28:07,217
for them then.
568
00:28:07,253 --> 00:28:08,986
I'm gonna paint this, but
first I'm gonna go check on
569
00:28:09,021 --> 00:28:11,755
vivian and see
how she's doing.
570
00:28:16,095 --> 00:28:18,095
Oh, wow!
Good job, mom.
571
00:28:30,910 --> 00:28:34,144
Jessie: Oh, yeah, wow.
Good job, mom.
572
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:37,214
She looks like she's
got two puppies in here.
573
00:28:37,883 --> 00:28:39,516
Oh, babe.
574
00:28:39,552 --> 00:28:41,585
Oh, you're doing good.
575
00:28:41,620 --> 00:28:42,753
Look at there.
576
00:28:42,788 --> 00:28:45,756
She's got two puppies, a
white one and a gray one.
577
00:28:47,159 --> 00:28:48,492
Nature knows best.
578
00:28:48,527 --> 00:28:51,662
I mean, these dogs are amazing
at their instinct of what to do.
579
00:28:51,697 --> 00:28:54,031
This isn't vivian's first
litter, it's her second litter.
580
00:28:54,066 --> 00:28:56,266
So, unlike the
other females, it's,
581
00:28:56,302 --> 00:28:59,303
uh, she's not a rookie
mom and it's kind of,
582
00:28:59,338 --> 00:29:02,573
uh, nice that she had
hers first and you know,
583
00:29:02,608 --> 00:29:06,276
get me back in the
whole groove of things.
584
00:29:06,846 --> 00:29:10,314
Just gonna let her continue
to take care of this and,
585
00:29:10,349 --> 00:29:13,851
uh, see how many she has and
monitor throughout the day.
586
00:29:13,886 --> 00:29:16,453
Getting to be here for all the
beginnings and it's something
587
00:29:16,489 --> 00:29:18,756
very special to be a part
of and I'm really proud of
588
00:29:18,791 --> 00:29:21,024
vivian, she's
doing really good.
589
00:29:22,161 --> 00:29:23,260
I know there's more.
590
00:29:23,295 --> 00:29:26,063
She's huge and, uh, got a
pretty good idea she's at
591
00:29:26,098 --> 00:29:28,098
least got six or
seven in there.
592
00:29:28,134 --> 00:29:30,768
So, it's gonna be a long day.
593
00:29:35,875 --> 00:29:37,307
Sue: Because anybody wants
something doesn't mean
594
00:29:37,343 --> 00:29:38,709
you're entitled to it.
595
00:29:38,744 --> 00:29:41,712
Entitlement's just a
mystery in people's heads.
596
00:29:49,722 --> 00:29:52,356
Been hunting, got
a few ptarmigans,
597
00:29:52,391 --> 00:29:56,026
but just a lot of bear
activity going on right there,
598
00:29:56,061 --> 00:29:58,162
so I'm gonna check
out the south bank.
599
00:29:58,197 --> 00:30:00,330
We have these little
cricks that run through and
600
00:30:00,366 --> 00:30:03,600
occasionally migratory
birds when it's hot out,
601
00:30:03,636 --> 00:30:06,303
they'll dip in here.
602
00:30:12,211 --> 00:30:13,577
Okay. All right.
603
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:23,253
I just saw a little duck
butt going around the corner.
604
00:30:23,289 --> 00:30:26,456
It's time to go see if
I can't get a quacker.
605
00:30:29,461 --> 00:30:32,729
I wanna get down but I
don't want him to see me.
606
00:30:32,765 --> 00:30:36,700
They're hard to hunt
'cause they're pretty savvy.
607
00:30:36,735 --> 00:30:38,702
For remote people,
we're opportunists.
608
00:30:38,737 --> 00:30:41,138
And that small game
is just as important,
609
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:43,841
if not more, than
the bigger game is.
610
00:30:43,876 --> 00:30:46,243
Bigger, you just get
more in one whack.
611
00:30:46,278 --> 00:30:48,745
But the smaller game is
the meat and potatoes.
612
00:30:48,781 --> 00:30:51,748
So I have to rely
on the smaller game.
613
00:30:58,524 --> 00:31:03,026
Okay. I see mister duck.
Come on.
614
00:31:03,062 --> 00:31:06,330
Come a little closer, buddy.
615
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:11,802
(gunshot).
616
00:31:11,837 --> 00:31:13,971
Yes.
617
00:31:14,006 --> 00:31:17,040
I have to get my ducky,
means getting wet.
618
00:31:17,543 --> 00:31:21,545
If you always had a
peanut butter sandwich
every day at lunch,
619
00:31:21,580 --> 00:31:25,082
sooner or later you'd be
thinking about taco Tuesday.
620
00:31:25,117 --> 00:31:29,019
So, this is just kind of
my version of taco Tuesday,
621
00:31:29,054 --> 00:31:31,154
and it came with feathers.
622
00:31:31,190 --> 00:31:33,490
Oh, look at that.
623
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:36,460
All right, buddy.
624
00:31:36,495 --> 00:31:39,062
It's been a long time
since I've had a duck and,
625
00:31:39,098 --> 00:31:43,500
uh, I think I might just wanna
pluck this guy and have a feast.
626
00:31:43,535 --> 00:31:46,069
Beautiful.
627
00:31:47,673 --> 00:31:50,607
Well, thank you, little area,
for sharing your bounty.
628
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,713
Agnes: It's nice to
watch my daughters work.
629
00:31:56,782 --> 00:31:59,116
It's fun to see
the kids learn.
630
00:31:59,151 --> 00:32:02,819
Eventually, they'll be
taking care of their own camp.
631
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,192
Chip: We just
gotta let her go.
632
00:32:09,228 --> 00:32:10,827
Ready?
One, two, three.
633
00:32:10,863 --> 00:32:12,062
Edward: Grab that rope.
634
00:32:12,097 --> 00:32:14,631
Chip: Nah, just let it go.
635
00:32:15,768 --> 00:32:16,800
There.
636
00:32:16,835 --> 00:32:18,435
Hey, ladies!
637
00:32:18,470 --> 00:32:20,270
We just need a
few extra hands.
638
00:32:20,306 --> 00:32:22,205
We're gonna spin the
boat around and launch it.
639
00:32:22,241 --> 00:32:23,307
We're done.
640
00:32:23,342 --> 00:32:24,741
We got everything
we're doing done.
641
00:32:24,777 --> 00:32:26,009
Just lift up and go.
642
00:32:26,045 --> 00:32:27,377
Two, three, four, five.
643
00:32:27,413 --> 00:32:29,479
Carol: We're gonna
help the guys put the
boat back in the water.
644
00:32:29,515 --> 00:32:31,214
It's pretty heavy so
it's like, uh, teamwork.
645
00:32:31,250 --> 00:32:34,251
Chip: Okay, you ready?
One, two, three, go!
646
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,987
Carol: And probably,
while they're, um, taking
a boat for a test drive,
647
00:32:37,022 --> 00:32:39,923
we'll be pulling the net out.
648
00:32:39,959 --> 00:32:41,191
Edward: No leaks.
649
00:32:41,226 --> 00:32:43,660
Chip: Nothing in here is
going crazy that I can see.
650
00:32:43,696 --> 00:32:46,830
We'll be back shortly.
651
00:32:49,735 --> 00:32:50,834
Qutan: Try to turn us, carol.
652
00:32:50,869 --> 00:32:51,868
Agnes: You have to.
653
00:32:51,904 --> 00:32:55,072
Carol: You have to,
yeah, like that. Yeah.
654
00:32:55,107 --> 00:32:56,707
Qutan: Okay.
I'll get the hang of it.
655
00:32:56,742 --> 00:32:58,675
I've never paddled before.
656
00:32:58,711 --> 00:33:00,677
Not like this, at least.
657
00:33:00,713 --> 00:33:02,946
Carol: You got it.
658
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:05,615
Chip: Boat's doing okay.
659
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:08,652
No leaks from what I can see,
the engine's running fine.
660
00:33:09,822 --> 00:33:11,321
Carol: Now grab it. Hi.
661
00:33:11,357 --> 00:33:12,990
Qutan: Hello.
662
00:33:13,025 --> 00:33:14,391
Agnes: How's the boat doing?
663
00:33:14,426 --> 00:33:17,194
Chip: The boat is fine.
It'll last for a while.
664
00:33:17,229 --> 00:33:18,362
Qutan: Okay, carol.
665
00:33:18,397 --> 00:33:19,830
Agnes: Is that the end, qutan?
666
00:33:19,865 --> 00:33:22,532
Don't pass any.
667
00:33:23,769 --> 00:33:25,002
Throw yours out, carolyn.
668
00:33:25,037 --> 00:33:26,536
That one is not good.
669
00:33:26,572 --> 00:33:28,038
Carol: Hers is more
messed up than mine.
670
00:33:28,073 --> 00:33:32,309
Qutan: No, yours has,
like, got blisters, carol.
671
00:33:32,344 --> 00:33:33,543
Agnes: Or throw 'em both out.
672
00:33:33,579 --> 00:33:34,811
Qutan: Mine just
has a bad face.
673
00:33:34,847 --> 00:33:36,446
Carol: Right now,
there's a lot of fish running,
674
00:33:36,482 --> 00:33:39,750
but some of 'em are spawned
out and we call 'em zombie fish.
675
00:33:39,785 --> 00:33:41,885
They're just not good to eat.
676
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,954
Just a bunch of nasty fish.
677
00:33:43,989 --> 00:33:45,589
Ew, gross.
678
00:33:45,624 --> 00:33:46,890
Qutan: Slimy.
679
00:33:46,925 --> 00:33:51,395
Carol: Nasty eggs, eggs too!
Oh eggs going everywhere, ooh.
680
00:33:51,430 --> 00:33:54,431
Agnes: Us being near the
lagoon and close to the ocean,
681
00:33:54,466 --> 00:33:56,833
we usually get a
lot of spawned out,
682
00:33:56,869 --> 00:33:58,468
yucky fish down here.
683
00:33:58,504 --> 00:34:01,338
Hopefully, they're
not all spawned out.
684
00:34:04,143 --> 00:34:07,110
Carol: I think we came
here a little too late.
685
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,154
Qutan: Zombie?
Carol: No, silver.
686
00:34:17,189 --> 00:34:19,156
I think we came here
a little too late.
687
00:34:19,191 --> 00:34:20,657
Qutan: Maybe they passed.
688
00:34:20,692 --> 00:34:23,527
Carol: If so, I think
we're just gonna have
to take off the net.
689
00:34:24,730 --> 00:34:26,329
Agnes: Wow carolyn,
is that a silver?
690
00:34:26,365 --> 00:34:27,931
Carol: Wow.
Oh, dad, it's a silver!
691
00:34:27,966 --> 00:34:29,533
Chip: Oh, silver will do.
692
00:34:29,568 --> 00:34:31,501
Carol: Yep. At least we
know they're coming now.
693
00:34:31,537 --> 00:34:33,403
Agnes: Yeah,
looks like dinner.
694
00:34:33,439 --> 00:34:35,806
Chip: I got no
problem with that.
695
00:34:35,841 --> 00:34:37,274
Qutan: This one's good, mom?
696
00:34:37,309 --> 00:34:39,109
Agnes: Uh, it's good.
Yeah, it looks good.
697
00:34:39,144 --> 00:34:41,344
Carol: This one's head
is pretty freaking huge.
698
00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:43,013
Agnes: Wow, carolyn.
699
00:34:43,048 --> 00:34:44,614
Wow, that looks
like a good one.
700
00:34:44,650 --> 00:34:46,016
Carol: There was
a few bad ones,
701
00:34:46,051 --> 00:34:48,385
but after all, there was
some pretty nice ones.
702
00:34:48,420 --> 00:34:49,953
Oh!
703
00:34:49,988 --> 00:34:51,521
Agnes: Wow, another fish.
704
00:34:51,557 --> 00:34:52,689
Yay!
705
00:34:52,724 --> 00:34:54,091
Carol: I guess we're
pretty lucky today.
706
00:34:54,126 --> 00:34:55,826
Whoa, red.
Holy cow.
707
00:34:55,861 --> 00:34:56,993
Look mom, check it out.
708
00:34:57,029 --> 00:34:59,563
Agnes: That's a pink.
That looks like a good one.
709
00:34:59,598 --> 00:35:03,800
So it's real nice to get a tub
load of good, fresh fish,
710
00:35:03,836 --> 00:35:06,770
especially when you set
your net for the first day.
711
00:35:06,805 --> 00:35:08,205
Carol: That's all of 'em.
712
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:09,439
Ooh.
713
00:35:09,475 --> 00:35:11,174
Agnes: This is a real good
place to be when you can just
714
00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:13,877
get something and
just eat it fresh,
715
00:35:13,912 --> 00:35:16,313
right out of the country.
716
00:35:16,348 --> 00:35:18,682
Wow, look at that!
717
00:35:18,717 --> 00:35:22,185
Carol: Wow.
Wade: Wow!
718
00:35:22,221 --> 00:35:23,954
Chip: Out of the river
and into the frying pan.
719
00:35:23,989 --> 00:35:26,923
Wade: Into the frying pan.
720
00:35:26,959 --> 00:35:28,425
Agnes: Having this
tub full of fish,
721
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:31,661
we'll be able to have dinner
and cut and dry some for later.
722
00:35:31,697 --> 00:35:34,131
Wow, that's darker than mine.
723
00:35:34,166 --> 00:35:35,532
Carol: This is a
real good one.
724
00:35:35,567 --> 00:35:38,001
Agnes: That's a silver also.
725
00:35:38,036 --> 00:35:39,436
What a productive day.
726
00:35:39,471 --> 00:35:41,071
Got the boat
fixed, got the net in,
727
00:35:41,106 --> 00:35:43,073
got a bigger fishing rack.
728
00:35:43,108 --> 00:35:47,210
Chip: Well, we could
munch down as soon
as somebody arrives.
729
00:35:47,246 --> 00:35:49,179
Oh, there's idi bitty.
730
00:35:49,214 --> 00:35:50,547
Carol: Idi came
down with the baby,
731
00:35:50,582 --> 00:35:53,049
and at the end of the day it
was just pretty good being
732
00:35:53,085 --> 00:35:55,452
around the fire with a
bunch of happy people.
733
00:35:55,487 --> 00:35:57,821
Iriqtaq: Good to come
home and eat fresh salmon.
734
00:35:57,856 --> 00:35:59,089
Chip: Yeah. Isn't it?
735
00:35:59,124 --> 00:36:01,424
Iriqtaq: Uh-hmm.
I already feel healthy.
736
00:36:01,460 --> 00:36:04,828
(laughing).
737
00:36:09,268 --> 00:36:10,734
Jessie: When I set
my mind to something,
738
00:36:10,769 --> 00:36:13,336
there's nothing
I can't achieve.
739
00:36:20,913 --> 00:36:23,647
Hi, vivs.
What are you doing?
740
00:36:23,682 --> 00:36:27,918
Hi, honey.
How's the puppies doing?
741
00:36:27,953 --> 00:36:30,887
Let's take a look at your
little sausage puppies here.
742
00:36:30,923 --> 00:36:33,523
Oh, look at them
little sausages.
743
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:35,392
Had any more?
744
00:36:35,460 --> 00:36:37,961
Oh, wow. There's a
new white pup in here.
745
00:36:37,996 --> 00:36:39,496
That'll make seven.
746
00:36:39,565 --> 00:36:40,597
Can I get in there?
747
00:36:40,632 --> 00:36:43,033
I'm gonna go play with them.
748
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:47,904
Aw, look how cute
these little puppies are!
749
00:36:47,940 --> 00:36:49,806
Holding a puppy just makes
me feel like a little boy,
750
00:36:49,841 --> 00:36:51,708
you know, like, I'm
in awe of the puppy,
751
00:36:51,743 --> 00:36:54,010
I'm in awe of its life,
and I've done this a lot.
752
00:36:54,046 --> 00:36:55,378
And it never gets old.
753
00:36:55,414 --> 00:36:57,514
You can tell they're really
getting used to being handled.
754
00:36:57,549 --> 00:36:58,682
That's really important.
755
00:36:58,717 --> 00:37:00,417
They're getting
really used to me.
756
00:37:00,452 --> 00:37:03,353
Viv's really used
to me handling them.
757
00:37:03,388 --> 00:37:06,089
They're warm, they're fuzzy,
they make the cutest little
758
00:37:06,124 --> 00:37:09,392
sounds and they wiggle and
their feet twitch and they
759
00:37:09,428 --> 00:37:14,798
yawn and it just makes me feel
so happy and so in awe of life
760
00:37:14,833 --> 00:37:17,267
and how beautiful it is.
761
00:37:17,302 --> 00:37:20,637
This is just an armful
of joy right here and,
762
00:37:20,672 --> 00:37:22,839
uh, armful of inspiration.
763
00:37:22,874 --> 00:37:24,741
You know, all this new life.
764
00:37:24,776 --> 00:37:28,245
This new location where we
have so much freedom to chase
765
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,414
our dreams and, uh, make
those dreams come true.
766
00:37:31,450 --> 00:37:37,087
In my mind, these are
gonna be the future
champions of brushkana.
767
00:37:48,033 --> 00:37:50,500
Andy: So much of living
up here is just timing.
768
00:37:50,535 --> 00:37:53,703
'cause the resource goes
away or the weather changes.
769
00:37:53,739 --> 00:37:57,040
If you don't jump on it, you
might as well kiss it goodbye.
770
00:38:04,049 --> 00:38:06,383
Just gotta put this
piece of plywood up.
771
00:38:06,418 --> 00:38:09,152
Narrator: In preparation for
the upcoming hunting season,
772
00:38:09,187 --> 00:38:11,588
andy and denise are building a
tree stand that will be used
773
00:38:11,623 --> 00:38:14,391
for spotting big game.
774
00:38:14,426 --> 00:38:16,126
With the supports of
the stand in place,
775
00:38:16,161 --> 00:38:18,795
it's now time to move on to the
final phase of the project,
776
00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:21,131
the flooring.
777
00:38:21,166 --> 00:38:22,599
Denise: Yeah.
778
00:38:22,634 --> 00:38:25,201
That's a good idea, might as
well use that pulley for this.
779
00:38:25,237 --> 00:38:26,703
Andy: You know,
putting the plywood up,
780
00:38:26,738 --> 00:38:29,406
it's one of those projects
where you kind of have to try it
781
00:38:29,441 --> 00:38:33,677
and see what it does and then
modify how you're gonna do it.
782
00:38:33,712 --> 00:38:38,048
Denise: What you got, grizz?
You just wanna help, huh?
783
00:38:43,588 --> 00:38:45,488
It was heavy and
I had to hold it.
784
00:38:45,524 --> 00:38:48,525
I could pull it and get
it up there was fine,
785
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,527
but then to hold
those positions,
786
00:38:50,562 --> 00:38:52,962
it just takes a lot of upper
body strength to do that.
787
00:39:04,209 --> 00:39:05,909
Pull!
788
00:39:05,944 --> 00:39:07,711
Denise: That's it.
Is it hooked on something?
789
00:39:11,650 --> 00:39:13,717
Denise: Just be careful.
790
00:39:15,454 --> 00:39:16,586
Andy: Oh!
791
00:39:34,172 --> 00:39:36,539
Denise: Okay.
792
00:39:36,575 --> 00:39:39,609
It's gonna swing when it
comes off that corner.
793
00:39:39,644 --> 00:39:43,847
Andy: Let it down.
Just let it go. Relax.
794
00:39:43,882 --> 00:39:47,117
It's not gonna go anywhere.
795
00:39:50,489 --> 00:39:53,223
Denise: Looks a lot better
there than a minute ago,
796
00:39:53,258 --> 00:39:55,425
swinging off the ladder.
797
00:39:55,460 --> 00:39:57,293
Andy: Fortunately, no
accidents happened.
798
00:39:57,329 --> 00:40:00,563
A couple of times some good,
close reminders of pay attention
799
00:40:00,599 --> 00:40:04,834
to what you're doing 'cause bad
things happen really quick.
800
00:40:06,705 --> 00:40:08,638
First time's
always the hardest.
801
00:40:08,673 --> 00:40:10,306
First time's
always the hardest.
802
00:40:10,342 --> 00:40:14,878
And, uh, once we started, the
second time worked pretty good.
803
00:40:14,913 --> 00:40:17,881
Let it down. Good.
804
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:19,482
Denise: Perfect.
805
00:40:19,518 --> 00:40:20,817
Andy: The third
time worked great.
806
00:40:20,852 --> 00:40:23,186
So, it's just a matter of
paying attention to each time
807
00:40:23,221 --> 00:40:26,956
you do something and then
modifying it a little bit.
808
00:40:26,992 --> 00:40:30,093
Denise: Here we go.
Floor is closing.
809
00:40:30,128 --> 00:40:33,763
Wow! It's all closed up.
810
00:40:33,799 --> 00:40:37,667
Wow, it looks like a stage.
811
00:40:37,702 --> 00:40:40,003
Andy: Come on up.
812
00:40:43,208 --> 00:40:45,275
Denise: Wow!
Look at it.
813
00:40:45,310 --> 00:40:48,978
New york apartment size.
814
00:40:49,014 --> 00:40:51,948
Ah, this is great, andy.
815
00:40:51,983 --> 00:40:53,316
Andy: It seems pretty solid.
816
00:40:53,351 --> 00:40:56,453
Denise: You should
be happy with this.
817
00:40:56,488 --> 00:41:00,123
Andy: Sometimes, you travel
out in bush or remote areas
818
00:41:00,158 --> 00:41:04,627
and it's a real uneasy,
bad vibe kind of a place.
819
00:41:06,164 --> 00:41:11,434
But this, uh,
hunting platform just has
really good vibes to it.
820
00:41:14,773 --> 00:41:18,041
Denise: So, is
that the last one?
821
00:41:18,076 --> 00:41:19,108
Andy: Yay!
822
00:41:19,144 --> 00:41:23,446
Denise: Yeah! Yay!
823
00:41:23,482 --> 00:41:27,283
Andy: Sit right here,
and you can still see
over top of everything.
824
00:41:27,319 --> 00:41:29,385
Denise: Yeah, let
me try sitting.
825
00:41:29,421 --> 00:41:31,654
What's really cool too is you
can stretch out and sleep and
826
00:41:31,690 --> 00:41:34,591
not worry about rolling over.
827
00:41:35,727 --> 00:41:37,393
Andy: To put the time and
energy into putting something
828
00:41:37,429 --> 00:41:40,396
that's gonna be really useful
to us and comfortable for us
829
00:41:40,432 --> 00:41:43,433
to go back there and spend
some time and really utilize
830
00:41:43,468 --> 00:41:46,135
that piece of the
country, that's,
831
00:41:46,171 --> 00:41:49,906
that's gonna pay off
big for us in the future.
832
00:41:50,842 --> 00:41:53,209
Grizz is in the basement.
833
00:41:53,245 --> 00:41:54,611
All right.
834
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:56,546
Well I'm happy.
You happy?
835
00:41:56,581 --> 00:41:59,215
Denise: Oh, I am very happy.
836
00:41:59,251 --> 00:42:01,784
Andy: Tarzan make
jane new house.
837
00:42:01,820 --> 00:42:04,387
(denise laughing).
838
00:42:08,393 --> 00:42:13,029
Sue: The tundra never ceases
to amaze me in the bounty.
839
00:42:13,064 --> 00:42:15,098
Sometimes the brutality.
840
00:42:15,166 --> 00:42:17,867
But it is what it is,
take it or leave it.
841
00:42:23,642 --> 00:42:28,912
First things first,
I'm just gonna start
pulling some feathers.
842
00:42:31,716 --> 00:42:34,651
And get ready to
cook my little duck.
843
00:42:35,654 --> 00:42:37,687
Pretty good day.
844
00:42:37,722 --> 00:42:43,726
I got ptarmigans and
this here duck in a very
wildly changing ecosystem.
845
00:42:44,329 --> 00:42:47,931
It's not infallible,
you don't get something
every time you go out.
846
00:42:47,966 --> 00:42:52,969
But if I can chip away at it,
I keep adding variety and it
847
00:42:53,004 --> 00:42:56,306
all adds into a
bountiful year.
848
00:42:56,875 --> 00:42:59,409
We have a nice, clean ducky.
849
00:42:59,444 --> 00:43:01,377
I don't have a
pan to cook him in,
850
00:43:01,413 --> 00:43:04,647
but I could probably
fashion something.
851
00:43:06,685 --> 00:43:08,284
I've got a little bed there.
852
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,621
I'm gonna lay him in it and
then I'm gonna cover him up.
853
00:43:13,024 --> 00:43:16,960
I'm almost making a
little nest for him.
854
00:43:16,995 --> 00:43:20,263
Little remote
kavik bush rotisserie.
855
00:43:21,499 --> 00:43:26,569
Now I got to attach him,
loosely wire on so he
doesn't fall off.
856
00:43:26,605 --> 00:43:28,705
Meat is meat is meat.
857
00:43:28,740 --> 00:43:30,440
But is it?
858
00:43:30,475 --> 00:43:33,343
I think that variety
is the spice of life.
859
00:43:33,378 --> 00:43:36,913
It's harder for me,
maybe, to go get the variety,
860
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:39,949
but I mean I've got
ptarmigan for the freezer,
861
00:43:39,985 --> 00:43:42,018
a duck for lunch.
862
00:43:42,053 --> 00:43:44,721
The variety keeps
it interesting,
863
00:43:44,756 --> 00:43:48,091
has different nutrient value,
and I'm a little bit of a
864
00:43:48,126 --> 00:43:50,927
foodie so I get to
experiment a little bit.
865
00:43:50,962 --> 00:43:52,829
Was it a good day?
866
00:43:52,864 --> 00:43:54,097
No.
867
00:43:54,132 --> 00:43:57,066
No, it was a fantastic day.
868
00:43:57,102 --> 00:44:00,203
I don't have a pan,
didn't have a plan,
869
00:44:00,238 --> 00:44:03,439
but, uh, with a little bit
of fire I was able to make
870
00:44:03,475 --> 00:44:06,275
something and get him cooking.
871
00:44:06,311 --> 00:44:10,780
Oh, he's actually starting
to look pretty damn good.
872
00:44:12,417 --> 00:44:15,284
It's perfect.
873
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:16,653
Nice little meal.
874
00:44:16,688 --> 00:44:19,188
Thank you, ducky.
875
00:44:20,725 --> 00:44:21,891
