CHIP: Oh, bunny, bunny, bunnies.
I’m looking for white rabbits in the snow between all the
little sticks and such.
It’s not so easy,
but I want to get them before the sun’s up high
and they all go back inside.
Whoa, stop, stop.
Dang, I don’t know where he went.
I thought he stopped over here.
Can’t quite make him out.
Nah, he’s gone.
They’re out.
AGNES: I saw it.
CHIP: Yup. Well, we’ve been warned.
AGNES: Uh-huh.
CHIP: They’re hard to see, but they’re there.
Just got to catch a glimpse of one.
Catch an eyeball, or a nose.
AGNES: I can only really see them when they’re moving,
unless they um, stop and their one, marble-looking eye
looks at you and then you can really tell.
But when the willows are moving like that,
it covers that one eye.
A little bit hard to see with the willows moving, yeah?
CHIP: Yup. AGNES: Oh, there’s one!
CHIP: There’s one right there, yup.
AGNES: I don’t know where I saw it, but.
CHIP: There it goes, it’s going up.
AGNES: There it is. It’s running away still.
(gunshot)
(theme music plays)
Chip just took a couple shots,
and he’s gonna go check if he hit any.
I didn’t really hear it go thwap or anything all right.
But maybe he did, I don’t know.
CHIP: He’s laying right there,
but getting to it is a pain in the butt.
Oh, there we go.
That’s a good one.
My regards, buddy.
AGNES: Yee-yee. Yee-yee.
CHIP: Got the first one this morning.
AGNES: Right on!
CHIP: It doesn’t taste like chicken, but it’s kind of like
having chicken.
AGNES: Wow, honey, awesome. Good shot.
CHIP: You know what we’re gonna need to do?
We need to have a place to put these meats.
They can’t stay on my sled.
The caribou in my sled are gonna have to be put somewhere.
You know what I mean?
AGNES: With the bunny? CHIP: Rabbits, yeah.
So, it’s in my mind that today
while it’s nice and bright later,
we just work on meat storage.
We’ll think about it as we go.
AGNES: Yeah.
CHIP: It’d be good to eat some rabbit.
AGNES: Yeah.
CHIP: Haven’t had that in a long while.
ANDY: So many things, when you live out in the wilderness
depend on understanding and observing the conditions
that you’re in.
We’ll never make it up that hill with, with that loose, deep snow.
I want to stomp out a trail so that the track has
a little bit of grip.
Otherwise we’re just gonna spin out on the hill.
DENISE: Okay, let’s get tromping.
ANDY: Today, Denise and I are gonna break some trail.
I want Denise to start learning how to handle
a snow machine in deep snow.
DENISE: Oh, one step at a time, right?
ANDY: Our snow up here is very dry and very fluffy.
(Denise giggling)
When you first go over it, it’s like going over a big
pile of balloons.
There’s very little support, but once you go over it all
the balloons pop, and then you’re right down to the floor.
I think I’ll go back down and get snowshoes, Denise,
so we can pack this out a little better.
DENISE: There’s always so much to learn here.
This is definitely the first time I’ve done trail breaking
like this, going up over hills and tussocks.
All kinds of unknown terrain,
and this year there’s a lot of snow.
And that’s a huge added challenge.
Being able to break out trails is really important to me.
It makes me more capable of being able to provide for myself.
To be able to go out, get firewood,
go get water, go get food.
Everything here, we have to create it, and that includes
our pathways to resources.
ANDY: All right, I think we’re good.
Just remember, when you come up the hill, you got to be
standing up and you got to put as much weight forward as you
can cause the skis are gonna want to come up.
DENISE: I’m very nervous, looking at this big hill.
What happens is the front of the snow machine can easily
pop up, and you flip over.
Okay, Andy, I’m gonna watch how you do it.
ANDY: Yeah.
DENISE: Oh, man.
Go Andy.
ANDY: Whoa.
DENISE: Oh!
ANDY: Yeah, buddy.
C’mon up!
DENISE: Okay!
You make it look easy.
My stomach’s in my boots right now.
Okay, here we go.
Let’s do it.
Come on!
Woo!
ANDY: Nice! DENISE: Done!
ANDY: Good job.
Yippee!
DENISE: Yay!
Are we done?
Now we can start breaking trail, right?
ANDY: Yeah, now we can start the day.
This first half mile is kind of through this brush.
Let’s see what we can do.
DENISE: Okay.
SUE: It is a brutal climate, and it’s seductive at the same time.
This thing will eat you alive.
Lo, the iceman cometh.
This wind is strong.
So, today got what we call "Ground blizzard activity."
I can’t even see the quarter of a mile to the other side of
the runway right now.
It’s picking up again.
Just, phew, it’s burning my skin.
Wind is one of the most destructive, corrosive forces
on the planet.
It’s gonna keep grinding this layer of snow until it’s like
talcum powder that you choke on, and that’s what makes your
visibility go to nothing.
I’ve just come out of the dark time of winter,
where the sun does not ever come above the horizon.
I mean that is the dark creatures, the predators
time to, to rule.
Right now, I’ve got certain amount of light.
It is one of the most critical times to get out there and
check my perimeter, but I cannot do it in this kind of weather.
I can’t risk life and limb taking Little Red out right now.
The winds are gonna double and triple.
My visibility gets less, and I can’t see.
I will not be able to see my way back to camp.
So, I’m gonna head back in, hurry up and wait.
I’ll be 60 next year.
I’d like to attend my own birthday.
Weather is king, and right now it says,
"Hold my beer. I want to show you something."
RICKO: One day I want my kids to carry on this Dewilde legacy
of moving around in the woods and being good at it.
Okay, Keenan, let’s look for tracks.
Any kind of tracks.
Ptarmigan tracks, squirrel, no, we’re not hunting squirrel.
We’re not that hungry.
We’re coming out of real dark, cold winter, which is long
days with sunshine bringing the temperature up.
So, this time of the year, I’m getting out and exploring.
The trails are set up real nice.
Oh, what’s that?
See the tracks right there? Keenan, look.
KEENAN: Uh-hmm.
RICKO: What else do you see that’s different around here?
Follow his tracks and what else do you see?
RICKO: No, he ate it. Look.
KEENAN: Why?
RICKO: That’s what porcupine eat.
KEENAN: The porcupine?
RICKO: Yeah. You see where he chewed all the bark?
KEENAN: Wow.
RICKO: And when you see porcupine tracks in wintertime
like this, if you walk around you’ll find his den somewhere.
You want to look for a porcupine, Keenan?
KEENAN: Uh-hmm.
RICKO: Oh, yeah, the quills.
Okay, let’s go walk.
When you see porcupine tracks this time of the year,
that’s always opportunity for food.
They’re coming out of their dens and if we find one,
my kids, they get to enjoy something they’ve never had before.
Porcupine meat.
Look for tracks, Keenan. You’re the tracker.
We want to find where the porcupine lives.
We’re looking for fresher tracks.
KEENAN: This?
RICKO: Oh, yeah, there we are.
That’s a pretty big porcupine.
See how big steps he take?
KEENAN: Yeah. RICKO: Let’s keep moving.
Hopefully we can find him.
He’s gonna be either in a tree, or under in his den.
RICKO: Oh, yeah, look.
You see all that fresh tracks right there?
KEENAN: Uh-hmm.
RICKO: See how his trail is getting really deep?
SKYLER: Yeah.
RICKO: That’s cause he’s right around here.
He lives around here.
RICKO: No, you’ll see it when you find it.
Hmm.
He’s around here somewhere.
Oh, what’s that?
RICKO: You see that tree right there?

I’ll let you guys know if I see the porcupine, okay?
SKYLER: Okay.
CHIP: The weather doesn’t wait for you.
The wind doesn’t wait for you.
Neither does the cold.
Well, we should make ourselves a um, a meat storage place.
AGNES: Like in the snow?
CHIP: Yeah.
AGNES: That’s a good idea.
CHIP: We haven’t done that in a long time.
Right about here is where the edge begins.
And this has got to be about ten feet deep.
It ain’t, there’s nothing gonna fall in on us.
AGNES: Yeah. CHIP: All you want, real hard.
AGNES: This is gonna be a fun project.
CHIP: Yeah.
AGNES: While we’ve been here at Kiwalik, we’ve been hunting
and we’ve gathered a lot of caribou meat.
So we’ve decided to build a cold storage.
CHIP: We’ve just got to get through this ice.
AGNES: Whoa.
CHIP: You’re gonna break the handle.
AGNES: It’s still frozen.
CHIP: Yup. That’s what I was saying, it’s ice.
I got a lot of meat and it’s on my sled.
I got to put it into somewhere safe.
We have to keep our meats out of the wind,
out of the sunshine, away from the ravens,
the foxes, my dog and anything else that
could come along.
Being ice, it’ll be really, really good.
We won’t have no collapses on our heads.
And with this rain that we’ve had, it’s icing over the top
of our snow, so if we make like a snow-type shelter.
What we call a Sigluak, which is a cold storage.
I think we’d have like an iced-over cave.
And nothing would be able to penetrate that.
AGNES: Warm but windy, huh?
CHIP: I mean, I don’t mind warm, but I don’t want it to rain.
I don’t want to see any more of this icing.
That’s just gonna be bad for caribou.
AGNES: Yeah, look it’s ice.
CHIP: Kind of spooky, isn’t it?
It’s trying to make the best out of the bad situation of
having mid-winter warmups.
Like right now it’s got to be 30 degrees.
AGNES: Yeah.
CHIP: If it wasn’t for the wind, I sure as hell wouldn’t
be wearing this jacket or this hat.
My bald head’s gonna sweat.
Well, I’ve gotten down here to the ground.
I’ve got grass under my feet.
AGNES: Oh, yay, you’ve reached the ground?

AGNES: You need to rest? CHIP: Yeah, I do need to rest.
AGNES: I need to get out of the wind.
CHIP: Oh, yeah.
That’s the difference, isn’t it?
AGNES: Yeah.
CHIP: ’Cause it’s all about the winterizing in there.
AGNES: It’s even quiet under here.
CHIP: Well, I’m thinking I need to get some willows.
And we’ll use them to line the floor.
You want to keep on digging?
AGNES: Yeah, I like doing this.

The thing that really makes breaking trail through deep snow
very very difficult is, you’re basically floating on that snow.

through all of this deep snow.
DENISE: It’ll be a lot different than following.
ANDY: Yeah, it’s gonna, well, and that’s what you gotta learn though.
DENISE: Exactly.
ANDY: It’s gonna want to do this constantly.
A little movement of your body one way or another is gonna
make the machine go like that and then it’s gonna want to
dive off the trail.

but she’s not gonna learn much from that.
What she needs to do is get out in the deep snow and
get a feel for the balance.
DENISE: See what I can do.
Okay, it’s already different.
My skill level right now on a snow machine is

And then I want to be in a position where I’m not worried
about her when she’s out by herself.
You don’t need to go way out.
You just need to go way down by the track,
and get right down to the dirt.
So there’s nothing stopping the machine from wanting to
flop over.
DENISE: I feel like I’ve gotten better with the snow machine.
I know that I have.
But there is something that’s still haunting me from the
first days that I was here.
I was out there on my own.
I flipped the snow machine.
I could not get it back over.
It was getting late in the day.
I was ten, 15 miles from home, and I just started walking and
hope I didn’t freeze to death in trying to find my way back.
I got lucky.

But that screw-up, that mistake, that lack of skill
has haunted me since then.
I know I need to master that and not be a vulnerable

ANDY: Okay. See if you can flip her over.
DENISE: I can do it.
I can do it.
ANDY: There you go.
See that? You did it.
DENISE: I did it! ANDY: Yay!

get it back up on the trail level and then you can keep on going.

ANDY: Yeah.
DENISE: Goose it and lean to the right.
Woo-hoo!

Finding my way forward with node-positive breast cancer
felt overwhelming at times.
But I never just found my way, I made it.
So when I finished active therapy,
I kept moving forward and did everything
I could to protect myself from recurrence.
Verzenio is the first treatment in over 15 years
to reduce the risk of recurrence for adults with HR-positive,
HER2-negative, node-positive,
early breast cancer with a high chance of returning,
as determined by your doctor when added to hormone therapy.
Hormone therapy works outside the cell while Verzenio
works inside to help stop the growth of cancer cells.
Diarrhea is common, may be severe,
or cause dehydration or infection.
At the first sign, call your doctor,
start an antidiarrheal, and drink fluids.
Before taking Verzenio, tell your doctor about any fever,
chills, or other signs of infection.
Verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts,
which may cause serious infection
that can lead to death.
Life-threatening lung inflammation can occur.
Tell your doctor about any new or worsening trouble breathing,
cough, or chest pain.
Serious liver problems can happen.
Symptoms include fatigue, appetite loss,
stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising.
Blood clots that can lead to death have occurred.
Tell your doctor if you have pain
or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath,
chest pain, and rapid breathing or heart rate,
or if you are nursing, pregnant, or plan to be.
I‘m making my way forward, my way with Verzenio.
Ask your doctor about everyday Verzenio.

(barking)
You think that’s your house?

Huh?

(barking)
Help me dig.
NARRATOR: In Kiwalik, the Hailstones are digging an
ice cave, which will be used as cold storage
for their winter bounty.
Without it, their supply of protein and furs will be
vulnerable to the unpredictable whims of Mother Nature
in the Arctic northwest.
AGNES: You like the hut?
Huh, you think it’s yours?
Now go play, it’s not even.
AGNES: Chip went out to go gather some willows, so we can
line this place up with willows.
So the meat and the furs will be on willows.
I don’t know, I’ve always been taught to line the bottom with willows.
Keep it off the ground, so it doesn’t freeze to the ground.
So this will be the new storage area for now and
I think it’ll do.
CHIP: I’m getting willows for the inside of that storage place.
This is not my favorite chore but I’ve done this a lot.
Oh, we’ve done this plenty before.
We make temporary snow caches all over the place.
Usually it’s just a hole lined with willows and we put meats
in there and a tarp over it.
But we had a bit of a rain come along and ice everything over.
It makes it a little bit safer to build something like that,
that we could use for at least like, another month or so
until we’re pretty much done down here.
You know, if you don’t have trees, there’s willows.
If you’ve got willows,
you got heat, you got cooking,
you got building material.
These willows are a resource.
Resources are everywhere.
Just got to know what to do with it.
You can even make the most out of snow.
It’s a resource too.
This coming summer, the roots underneath these will spring
new willows all over again.
These things won’t go away.
But 20 years ago, none of this was around here.
This was all completely wide open.
No willows at all.
It warmed up, it thawed the ground deeper and deeper and
the willow’s roots could take hold.
And they ain’t giving up.
Way the world works, I guess.
Things warm up.
So our tundra’s disappearing into willows.

Keenan and Skyler, they take off on their own.
Skyler’s teaching Keenan all the ways and I love that about
Skyler because he really takes care of his little brother.
And that’s a beautiful thing right there and makes my heart glow.
SKYLER: Oh, there’s Dad. KEENAN: Yeah.
RICKO: I found him.
SKYLER: You did? RICKO: Yeah.
SKYLER: Let’s go. RICKO: I got you.
I tracked it down.
KEENAN: Oh.
RICKO: Yeah, I just followed his tracks.
KEENAN: Oh.
RICKO: I see his tracks right there, Keenan, look.
KEENAN: Yeah.
RICKO: So we’re following.
We’re following his trail.
This is the final window where we could eat porcupine until
fall time, so we’re gonna take advantage of seeing these
porcupine tracks to try to get some food.
My kids need to learn all the tricks that I learned when
I was growing up and that’s why I’m trying to teach my kids
this today.
Okay, he’s around there somewhere.
Hmm.
SKYLER: You see him, Keenan?
KEENAN: Nope.
RICKO: Okay, come over here.
SKYLER: Come on, Keenan. RICKO: I’ll give you a hint.
He’s up high.
SKYLER: He’s up in trees.
Look around Keenan, it’s all you.
RICKO: Look over that way.
SKYLER: He, Keenan, I’ll give you another hint.
He looks orange.
KEENAN: He looks orange?
There he is!
RICKO: You see him? KEENAN: Uh-hmm.
RICKO: There it is, it’s looking at us.
KEENAN: It’s looking at us. SKYLER: Yeah.
KEENAN: Oh, he’s kinda fat. Yeah, kinda kinda fat.
RICKO: Keenan, remember the Athabaskan word for porcupine?
KEENAN: Uh.
RICKO: Dekehone. KEENAN: Dekehone.
RICKO: Yeah.
SKYLER: See the brown that’s on his head?
Right there, look, Keenan, he’s moving.
RICKO: He’s gonna be hard to hit.
SKYLER: I’ll do it.
RICKO: You could? SKYLER: Yeah.
I have like a, I can see his eyeball right now.
RICKO: Okay.
All right, there’s safety right here, look, just click it off.
KEENAN: Yeah. Skyler gonna do it.
RICKO: Remember, you don’t have to reload, so when you
shoot, it’s gonna be ready again.

(gunshot)
RICKO: Oh, good shot, Sky!
KEENAN: Ooh, good shot.
SKYLER: Thanks.
RICKO: One hitter quitter, Sky.
You’re like the, you’re a gunner, huh?
SKYLER: That’s actually my first porcupine.
RICKO: There was a time when Skyler was afraid to shoot a gun.
He would cry when he had to shoot that gun.
It was so difficult for him.
It’s amazing to see what he’s become today, over a few years
of growing up.
Now, he’s a crack shot.
He’s grown into quite the man over a few years.
We don’t want to touch the quills.
KEENAN: Nope.
Whoa, it’s really fat.
RICKO: Yeah, it’s a fat one.
SKYLER: Clawed feet.
RICKO: Oof, that’s a big porcupine.
KEENAN: Okay. SKYLER: Keenan’s scared.
No, you don’t have to be scared, Keenan.
KEENAN: I don’t want to.
SKYLER: Look Keenan. Look at that.
KEENAN: Whoa. RICKO: Say Anaa basee.
KEENAN: Anaa basee.
RICKO: Or you say Anaa basee Denaahuto
KEENAN: Anaa basee Denaahuto
SKYLER: What does Denaahuto mean?
RICKO: That means like, when you say Anaa basee, it’s thank you
and Denaahuto is like, whoever created us,
thank you for gifting us something.
I’ll show you the quills.
You don’t have to be scared though, Keenan.
KEENAN: I know.
RICKO: Oof, that’s, you hear all those quills?
KEENAN: Yeah.
SKYLER: Look, look at all those ones right there.
KEENAN: Whoa.
RICKO: The black part has the barbs.
See look.
Goes in, no problem.
Sticks in, now try pull it out.
SKYLER: It’s kind of hard.
You feel how it was like.
RICKO: You feel it grab?
KEENAN: Uh-hmm.
RICKO: When you think porcupine, you think quills
and that’s what’s fascinating for the kids.
Is seeing that porcupine up close and looking at those
quills and it’s important that I teach the kids everything
about this animal we harvest.
In our Native culture, respecting the animal you
harvest is understanding that animal and also
using every bit of it.
Do you see how it’s hard to pull out?
KEENAN: Uh-hmm.
RICKO: That’s why animals don’t bother it, because if
they go up and they get poked by it.
What happens is it sticks in there and then the body heat
from that animal warms up this white part.
It gets bigger and every time the animal move, those barbs
pull it in, in, in, in.
After about a week, it’s way inside of them.
it’ll poke it in the heart or maybe right here.
Poke it in the brain or in the neck or something.
The animal will eventually die.
KEENAN: What you, will you have to go to the hospital?
RICKO: Yeah.
If you got, if you got poked with this, you just got to
pull it out but it’ll hurt real bad.
You go, Ow!
Like that.
KEENAN: Oh.
RICKO: But if you didn’t pull it out, three or four days later,
it would disappear inside of you and it would travel around.
RICKO: Like me traveling in the woods, eh?
SKYLER: Look at the little nails.
Oh, look at the feet, that’s cool.
RICKO: Yeah.
His little climbing hands too.
Okay, you guys ready to skin this?
KEENAN: Uh-hmm. SKYLER: Uh-hmm.
RICKO: Skin and butcher it. We’ll cook it up.
DENISE: Sometimes, my determination can get in the
way of being safe and smart about things.
But for the most part, my determination propels me forward.

The trail that we’re breaking out has a lot of function for us.
It’s a trail that takes us to resources.
It’s a big circuit trail that we exercise our dogs on.
It’s a trail that gives us an alternate route downriver
when we can’t pass on the river.
There is a tremendous physical component in breaking trail.
You have to be able to shift your weight quickly.
You have to be able to jump from one side of the machine
to the other.
It’s so uneven.
The ground is just like landmines.
It’s just pits and, and valleys.
So even the flat-looking surface, you’re just dropping
off into an area you can’t even see the bottom of.
Oh, (bleep).
It’s really important that I can manage on my own.
Andy and I are a partnership.
But that means if something goes down with one of the
partners, the other one better be able to carry the load.
That means, I better be able to break the trail out to get
the wood, to run the dogs.
It’s just part of survival living here, to be able to
do these things independently.
Oh, man.
Oh!
Oh, man.
Least I know what I’ve gotta do.
Before today, I would’ve probably already started walking.
It’s really deep.
Let’s see what I got here.
(groans).
When you’re out here on your own, you can be a mile from
home and you can be a dead man.
There’s so many things that can go wrong.
Being able to turn your snow machine back up is vital to survival.
If you are going out here to break trails on your own,
you better be able to flip that machine over on your own.
I said I needed practice.
I’m getting it.
I’m so fortunate to have Andy as a teacher.
He has a lifetime of knowledge and experience.
When I’m on my own, those lessons are replaying in my
head and it’s powerful.
I’m just gonna give it a nudge here.
Oh, oh, okay.
I have nothing to grab to.
Okay.
One, two, three.
Oh, my god.
I’d like to thank our sponsor Liberty Mutual.

Because I do.
Ok, that was awesome.

“W-w-what is that?!”
“Ahhh!” And you go...

They’re scared of how happy savings make them feel.

DENISE: Oh, you pull from the other side.
Oh, man.
If I can just get it over a little bit more.
Yeah, okay.
Okay.
There it is, come on!
Yes!
Okay.
Yes.
What?
Well, there’s some good timing.
(heavy breathing)
ANDY: Looks like you’re getting your exercise for the day.
DENISE: You’re supposed to be behind me.
ANDY: You’re supposed to be learning how to do this on your own.
DENISE: Oh, wow, mission accomplished.
ANDY: Well, you got it up.
I think that’s pretty good.
I’m pretty impressed.
So why don’t you pop this out?
Let’s get over, bust the last little bit out to the Yukon.
And then we can head home and have some hot toddies.
DENISE: Oh, yeah.
Oh, come on, come on.
Woo!
There’s nothing like being able to just walk the walk
on your own, to build your confidence.
To know that, given that situation,
you can do it on your own.
This is a big skill that I’ve conquered.
I have a lot to be proud of.
CHIP: I enjoy every moment of being here, everything I’m doing.
And as long as you work hard up here, you’re accepted.
Just don’t be a bum.
Get up and go out and have an adventure.
I got some willows.
AGNES: Yay! That looks like a good bunch.
CHIP: Man, you’ve got quite a mound of snow going out here.
Let’s see what you got under.
AGNES: Yeah. I’m pretty much done. Pretty much done here.
CHIP: Oh yeah, that’s (bleep) cool.
My wife made a really nice little cave.
She did a lot of work, all right.
But she did it pretty quick.
The best thing about it is there’s a smile on her face
when she’s doing it.
I like that.
AGNES: Ready?
CHIP: Wait a second, I’ll chop them down for you.
AGNES: I’m going to go make them go this way.
CHIP: You don’t want the meat sitting directly on the ground.
It could freeze to it if it thaws out.
And the willows keep it clean.
I mean, the ground is literally sand and stuff and
you don’t want that on your meat.
So if we line it up with a, a nice little nest of willows
and put a big solid hard door on there, ain’t nothing gonna
bother that stuff.
Keep it away from the ravens, keep it away from the foxes,
keep it out of the sunshine and whatever weather may come along.
Look at how fat that thing is, eh?
Delicious.
It’s just how we have to take care of our food.
We went out there and we made a lot of effort to go get it
and I don’t want that meat going to waste.
AGNES: One, two, three, go.
One, two, three, go.
That’s wonderful. We did an awesome job.
CHIP: This will become a door.
Except I’m getting soaking wet out here, which isn’t (bleep)
cool at all.
It’s really warm right now.
It’s got to be like 36 degrees, which is crazy
because a few days ago, it was 30 below.
It’s kind of a little disaster, this rain.
It’s gonna make everything into ice.
The caribou will move away.
It’s these mid-winter warmups that give us icing events that
kill off our caribou, because it caps off their food.
So while we’re happy to have caribou in the cache,
our prospects of further caribou hunting, especially for good
healthy fat ones, gonna probably get a little lower.
It’s a nutrition thing, it’s food security.
If you don’t have really good food security, you know,
you think about (bleep) late at night.
This has been a lot of work but we’re almost done and our
meat will be secure.
Let’s try stand this thing up.
Okay, one, two, three, go.
AGNES: We got it. CHIP: Oh, (bleep).
One, two, three.
I’m gonna ease it down.
This thing’s fragile.
AGNES: Heavy, watch out.
Wow.
CHIP: Wow, didn’t break.
AGNES: Now that cold storage is done I’m really happy
knowing that our meat is gonna be protected.
It’s awesome to just be able to use the snow and build a
little shelter and use the willows to make a little mat,
it’s just awesome to be out here and just utilize all
the natural resources we have.
CHIP: Okay, that’s it.
We are done.
Oh, right on, give me a kiss.
AGNES: Mwah. CHIP: Good work.
AGNES: Yeah.
CHIP: I am soaking wet, I am wet in my tee shirt, I am wet all the way down.
AGNES: Pretty cool.
I’m happy.
CHIP: Well I’m happy you’re happy.
It was worth the effort.
AGNES: Yeah, our meat are safe and dry.
RICKO: This is all about survival, but also,
all about having fun and enjoying life.
Almost ready guys.
Ooh, I can smell that porcupine meat.
I want the kids to taste all the different flavors out here
and today they’re gonna eat porcupine.
I wanna cook it so they enjoy it because I want them to
remember this day and part of remembering this day is
enjoying it and eating.
Eating always brings back memories and hopefully they
remember this day forever.
KEENAN: Is it hot? RICKO: No it’s not too hot.
How does it taste?
KEENAN: Hmm. RICKO: Tastes good? Okay.
SKYLER: This tastes like duck. KEENAN: This is a big piece.
RICKO: I’m blessed with beautiful kids and especially
with Keenan he’s real curious, he’s a tough guy too.
No complaints out of him he’s always real curious,
he ask all the best questions and he’s trying to be a man,
he’s a little dude that’s trying to be a man,
it’s the cutest thing ever.
I love having Skyler with me too and Skyler is real good
brother, he has a very, very loving heart and he’s really
coming out of the little boy age.
To a man and he helps me out a lot teaching Keenan
the different ways out here.
Tasty huh?
You learning how to survive in the woods Keenan.
KEENAN: Uh-hmm.
RICKO: You worked hard for your meal today, huh?
You probably never forget when you went to get
porcupine to eat, huh?
That’s the good part of going out in the woods,
they never forget it.
