Bear, captain log. Stardate, whatever.
I try not to look too far in the future,
But I've got quite a bit weighing on my mind, actually.
ah, yeah!
So, you know, things didn't exactly turn out 100 percent
How I'd have wanted them to, but, you know,
Beggars and choosers, winners and losers, right?
That's a small price to pay to be extreme.
Right now I'm channeling my inner snowball.
Keep on living the bush life.
It's time to stay occupied,
Go where I'm needed and wander when I'm not.
On this season of "alaskan bush people"...
When the water is clear, I'm clean, and so are the cups.
The dream is alive.
-Want to fight?
Do you want to see what I've been working on?
Oh, my foot is in a rat!
It actually is a little crazy
To think just how fast the wolf pack's been going.
Dad, dad, and daddy.
It's a very monumental moment.
It's the biggest responsibility in the world.
Whoa!
But when winter bares down...
Feel that? Temperature's dropping.
Oh, no, those are coyote prints.
Stay close, stay calm, says the good lord.
-It's gunfire. -Definitely a gunshot.
...And the outside world pushes in.
Hold on, everyone!
Do you think you'll be alright?
Sliding off. Hold on, guys!
-Hey! Back off! -Ah, ah!
What do I do with him?
The wolf pack must heed the call
To achieve the impossible.
That's working really well.
We've gone to great extremes
To be able to do things the way we want to do it.
We do this as a team. We're the browns.
Everybody has to bust it more than I guess we ever had.
Let's go!
We'll have this thing cleared in no time.
Oh!
Let's do this before we get buried.
-Ooh, it's pretty close. -Really close.
It's starting to look like a house now, guys!
We're just going to go on with what we do.
Nothing's going to stop the browns.

Okay, here are the rules.
There's no throwing, there's no tossing,
There's no projectiling it at any kind.
-Oh, no projectiling at all. -This isn't bowling,
This is rock racing.
The starting line will be up here.
That's the finish line. I like it.
You have so many rocks, but not any good rollers.
That one's bigger than mine.
Now, no throwing it.
I know. I'll let it go.
Okay, and, ready, set, go!
-Ah! -yes!
Aha!
Stupid rock! Let's do it one more time.
Yours knocked mine out of the way.
Double or nothing? Roll.
- go, go, go, go!
No!
Ready? One, two, three, go.
yes! Aha!
Yes, we did it, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Yours is basically round. That's unfair.
It's late fall on north star ranch,
The brown family's homestead,
Just south of the canadian border.
That's okay. Got it!
1,500 miles from their native alaska,
The browns are on the verge of achieving their vision of a life
Cut-off from modern society.
Faster than a speeding bullet!
In just one short year, the wolf pack's
430 acre property atop a 4,000 foot mountain has flourished.
Holy dog mess!
We've gone to great extremes to be able to do things
The way we want to do it.
Alright, everybody! Let's go on a road trip!
We never do anything the conventional way.
We never do anything the easy way.
There we go! Watch it go!
It's the freedom, it's the fresh air.
It's our way of life.
But as father billy's health worsened,
The need for a safe and permanent home
Became a necessity.
Anything can happen tomorrow.
You have to live in the moment. We need to build you a house.
There's medicines that doctors prescribe,
And they have, and then there's bush medicine.
Fresh air, you know, mountain living,
That is medicine to dad.
You glad to be back?
You're darn right I'm glad to be back.
I've always said I have half tree sap
And half saltwater in my blood.
The bush is more than medicine to us, it's our home,
And it's the place that we feel closest to god and ourselves.
The ambitious goal, a two-story cabin
At the heart of the mountain,
That billy and ami will share with sons, gabe and noah.
The communal family house is definitely a win-win.
It allows mom and dad to be close to the grandkids
And noah and I can help out
With anything that they might need.
I feel like it works out for everyone.
Give him some room. Let him work!
I am!
-Let's keep doing the bushes! -Alright. Let's keep rocking it.
And the man is a wizard with a piece of machine like that!
The very first step of any construction job
Is the foundation.
It's what the rest of the house
Is going to lay on and it's the most important.
Alright! Bring us into park and stop us down here.
Okay!
We're laying right on the ground with concrete forms,
So it has to be so level.
Now, how big exactly are we trying to get it?
We're looking at a pretty exact 50x100.
I'd like just about as low as we can get it.
Okay.
You know, the house, I guess, in most people's standards,
It's not going to be that big. To us, it's a mansion.
We just about doubled the browntown.
The house is 20x40, two-story, 2,500 square feet.
I mean, all that with this one,
It has a bathroom upstairs and downstairs,
Which is something we've never had before.
It's just awesome that we're actually going to be able
To do a childhood dream.
Yeah.
We had a childhood dream.
It was to have a large piece of property, one central house,
And then hallways leading off to other houses,
Making our own basic town.
The family's always just been really close growing up.
We all lived in small houses and we're really tight.
It's molded us into who we are, you know?
That's why we still stick together.
Definitely a defining characteristic of our life
That we are the wolf pack.
That's not just something that we say,
That really is a mentality. It's a way of life.
Winter is approaching
And we have to make sure that we're to a point
That we can keep working through the winter.
To do that, we have to make sure the foundation
Is completely down and poured,
So we can keep building on top of it.
Yeah, that just a little.
Oh, he'll have this thing laid in no time.
We have a concrete truck coming in a couple of weeks.
We can't push it out, we can't wait,
Because this cement doesn't set up in the snow.
If we're going to have the house built this year,
We need this foundation done and we need it done now.
Definitely got some cleaning to do.
You just point and I'll clean. We'll call it good.
While his family kick starts
The build of their main house, brother, bear,
Prepares to add a new member into the wolf pack.
Show me what you're envisioning?
What do we do to deck this thing out?
I know a lot of the decorating is going to be with rain's help,
But, okay.
Months earlier, bear proposed to new girlfriend, raiven.
Will you marry me?
Yes, I will.
A surprising development for the brown family.
This last month and a half has been
A total whirlwind of romance.
When she came up here,
We started talking about jalapeños,
And how much we both love jalapeños.
We fell in love.
So, I'm thinking we'll definitely walk
Nightmare somewhere, and make that the dancing area.
Ah, dancing, right?
Today, raiven and I are just scouting out
A nice spot to have our wedding.
She seemed to really like the idea of using the barn.
We're just talking about what we can do to deck it out
And make it look as fairytale as possible.
Do we want to get anything like the rug in my connex?
Nothing like the run in your connex in size.
-No? -Maybe the size.
Maybe like a red one of them? Like, a big red one?
We're not doing red, we're doing burgundy.
Oh, burgundy, of course. Same thing, right?
Okay! No, I know.
-No, it is not the same thing. -Ok.
I think the most important part of bear and I's wedding
Is that everyone feels included.
I know weddings are supposed to be about
Just the bride and the groom.
We'll definitely have to make sure none of the roosters
Or chickens are in here, especially the baby chickens.
You don't want them being stepped on or danced over.
-Okay, yeah. -Specifically.
But I feel like bear is different than most grooms.
His bond with his family is a lot stronger
Than any person I've ever met.
So just to run over it one more time, burgundy rug here.
Move out nightmare, make that like the dancing area,
And then clean it up.
Okay. Sounds good.
I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning.
With bear's upcoming wedding just days away,
Siblings bam and gabe are in charge of the wedding day meal.
Fresh venison.
You know, I think having deer at bear's wedding
Will be about the perfect thing.
We all love deer. We grew up on it.
But with bear, it's more than that.
It's like a venison passion.
Scored on this one. Look at the fat!
-Mmm! -Ah!
I know it was interesting the year
That bear ran around in a loin cloth,
Which, yes, he actually did that for 365 days,
Chewing on a big deer leg by the fire,
Wearing a loin cloth,
Trying to pretend he's a caveman.
I think it would mean a lot to bear
To have a deer freshly catered for the big day.
And I didn't bring my canteen, which I should have.
Okay, your shovel. I borrowed it.
I was going to say, that's my shovel.
Sorry. I borrowed it. I borrowed bird's jacket.
It just hit me nothing in here's actually mine.
Ah!
Don't laugh at me, but this is
The only thing I had for face paints.
What is that even? Magic markers?
It's face paint. I don't know what it's.
I think it's actually make-up.
We've got yellow and pink. Which one do you want?
I'm thinking mud.
I've wondered, over the years, if gabey is messing with me,
Or he is really doing some of these things.
Gabey just does odd things like that,
And, of course, he didn't show up with anything orange.
Why am I wearing this again?
So nobody shoots you.
Okay.
I've definitely, as of late,
Tried to make a more conscious effort
As to how I get along with people.
Trying to be a little more receptive
Of how people take what I say and how I make people feel.
Channel your inner arnold.
get down!
There's an alien on the loose!
We are all in trouble!
We've got to cover ourselves in mud!
You think it's silly I'm wearing mud,
But you're all going to die.
It's just hard to be quiet and have an awesome german...
Australian? No.
-Austrian. -Austrian accent.
Can we take a look at the rebar?
Yeah. It's around the corner of the building.
Noah, wife, rhain alicia,
Sister, bird and baby eli
Take a short break from wedding preparations
And head to the salvage yard.
It looks to be about 50 sticks.
With the clock ticking to finish the house foundation
Before the winter freeze,
They hope to secure valuable building materials.
Rebar is mainly used for foundational work.
Basically, you make a frame out of it, cover it in wood
And then pour concrete in.
If you just had regular concrete, it would fall away.
If you guys are here and willing to work,
I could probably work out a trade for you.
Yeah?
How about that big pile of metal? It's pretty heavy.
It's some railroad track. It needs to be cut up.
I could definitely use an extra pair of hands to move it.
Jason has some I-beams that he's needing cut down and moved.
My cutting torch can go through it a lot quicker,
And in return, we get a big stack of rebar.
Okay, so do you all want to get this loaded on
To the trailer while I start cutting?
Let's do it.
It's really rare to find good,
Clean rebar that you can use, so it's a good barter.
How's it going with the baby over there?
I feel like more like my left arm
Is actually getting more of a work out.
And that's not the one doing rebar.
With bear's wedding just days away,
There's just still a lot to do, and so we have to get the rebar,
But we're going to make it quick.
-There we go. -There it is.
This thing's been sitting a while.
I think something inside must be loose.
Yeah. Let's try that.
This is definitely it's not the time
For my equipment to not work.
This might take me a little bit longer.
You're not done already?
What? Did you even get started?
I don't have the manpower to lift it myself.
Right now it looks like, especially to jason,
That we might not get our end of the bargain done completely.
Noah, can we do anything to help?
Just leaving me alone for a bit.
Okay.
That's not ideal for a barter, you know,
Because you want to complete the barter
So you can come back next time,
And everybody knows we're good for our word.
I'm pretty sure that my mixture is off.
Okay. Now to work.
-Whoo! -Finally!
okay.
Given so much on everybody's plate right now,
The next few days, it's going to be important
All the way down the line.
I'll track, I'll scout. We'll both shoot.
We're trying to do the house.
We're trying to take care of all the animals.
Bear's got a wedding coming.
There's a ton to do now, not only for the wedding,
But to keep up with everything else
And try to gain a little bit.
Everyone has to bust it more, I guess, than we ever had.
Bam and gabe's deer hunt gets off on the wrong foot.
When you're a tiger being followed
By a bunch of gazelle, your odds of getting
Something, not good.
And later...
Hold on, I need a minute, guys. Just one second!
A milestone day for the wolf pack unravels at the seams.
I mean, he has to be around here somewhere, right?
-How's it going? -It's going!
Getting you some big ones.
Make sure you're getting longer ones, too,
Because you're are going to be for the longer side.
Remember, we're building a box, not starting a fire.
Got you, a box, not a fire.
It's a big week for the brown family,
As their most extreme sibling
Is only days away from tying the knot.
Hopefully I don't pick out too bad of ones.
And brothers, bam and gabe,
Are on their first deer hunt in washington,
Hoping to bag the main course for a bush wedding.
We'll keep going this way.
I don't think deer meat is something
That most people cater their weddings with,
But we all grew up with fish and crab and shrimp.
A lot of seafood, and so deer
Was definitely like a delicacy with us.
It's really important to take this hunt seriously,
Because we do really want to bring back a deer for bear,
But we don't have a lot of time to do it.
what are you looking at?
Everything that's out there knows it's being hunted,
Or it's hunting.
There isn't an in between, from bugs up,
So if you're going to stalk and hunt,
Then you have to be very careful.
You have to make very, very little noise.
When everything is so dry and crackly,
Gabey is a little bull in a china shop.
It's always a little difficult for gabey
To move around quietly, or gracefully for that matter.
It's a little tricky hunting with bam.
If he had his way, I wouldn't be making any noise at all,
But I have to breathe, you know?
My heart's going to have to pump.
Gabey actually is just making too much noise.
It's really hard to do these stalk and then stop.
That's how I prefer to hunt, but when you're a tiger
Being followed by a bunch of gazelle,
Your odds of getting something are not good.
Maybe I can get up a little higher.
I kind of want to go to that ridge.
And see what I see. -So do I.
We have different hunting styles.
Mine is, like, dumb luck, and his is superb hunting skill.
alright!
Outside the rusty shipping container
He calls "home," brother bear
Shakes off some pre-wedding jitters,
Rehearsing a unique wedding day surprise for his bride, raiven.
This one's one that I made up myself.
Pretty much I like to just start to play, the fast type play,
Like the rock and roll style, as much as I can get.
And I like the ones that build up in speed,
So it starts off slower,
And then slowly builds up faster and faster
And faster and faster, until I just can't do it.
Our wedding will be the most extreme day
I've ever had, most likely.
Just something that I didn't think
That I would really ever be doing, per se.
It's the first time I've ever experienced
A little bit of nerve. It's crazy.
And, seriously, because I've stared down bears.
Got a bear, right up there.
Go home, bear! Get!
I've, you know, hunted.
Hey, bear, slow down, man!
We're not supposed to split up.
Nearly fallen off cliffs, climbed up stuff
And stared danger right in the eyes.
But never have I once been nervous until today.
I care so much what raiven thinks.
I care so much about her.
I've just developed such strong feelings.
You know, I just want to be the best that I can be,
But it's an awesome kind of nervous.
You'd hear me when I have my amp.
You know, bird, rain and I sat right here in this very spot
And talked about who we thought would be the next one.
You didn't think it was him, I'm sure.
And they both said, "bear," but I didn't.
I never dreamt that it would be bear next.
No.
It's so different to see bear
Holding hands with someone and..
-Oh my gosh, yeah. -Walking around and...
And he's always, like, hundred miles an hour, "ah!"
But now he's, I don't know. He bubbles when he's around her.
I guess the guy did grow up a little wild, you know?
And then they get turned loose in the world like this.
There's a lot of things that I know that I guess
We didn't teach them and they don't understand.
He's traversing different waters.
Mm-hmm. He's always been so in control.
-He is. Yes. -But, you know?
It's such a different world he's in now.
I think bear has really changed in ways
None of us thought that he would.
He has always been a hard one to figure out.
He's definitely a wild child, there's no doubt about it.
Bear does not like social interaction very much.
There's some things about somebody he just
Doesn't understand.
Bear is straight forward, you know, as fast as he can go.
That's just the way bear is.
I just always hoped he could find somebody, you know?
Not to brag on you. Just someone like I did.
I hope that she gets to where she understands him
And where he's coming from.
Raiven is the first girl that, you know, bear's dated at all,
And, I mean, you can't help being a little apprehensive
That things are going a little fast,
But I know better than to try to reign him back, you know?
So, we can do like any dad does
And sit back and pray and only hope.
Do you think he's going to be alright?
I think he will be alright.
Well, that was an ordeal.
It was, but it's done.
Hopefully it'll just be a smooth trip,
As smooth as a bumpy mountain road can be.
With the rebar from the salvage yard secured,
Noah, rhain alicia and bird
Make the trek back to their mountain homestead,
Navigating through miles of primitive roads.
I bet everyone else is wondering what took so long.
Probably.
We had a couple of setbacks at the salvage yard.
Took a little bit too much time,
Which is why we just want to get up the mountain
And start helping with the wedding,
Because I want to make all the preparations, like, perfect.
But after this wedding, it definitely has to be
All hands on deck to get this main house built.
It's only just now starting to get bumpy.
The roads are really bad.
I'm trying to dodge the bumps.
Sounds like it's bouncing around pretty good.
Don't go too crazy there.
Oh, wait, stop!
The frame of the trailer.
And it looks like the tire is very flat.
We might have actually lost some rebar.
Yeah, we definitely lost some. I see one down there.
How long have we been losing rebar though?
I don't know.
If we can't get the tire fixed or we can't find the rebar,
We might not have enough to finish the foundation,
And we're trying to get that foundation
Down before the ground is coming up freezing.
Oh, boy! We have to find all the rebar.
-Hold tight. -Oh, careful now!
Winter nears, and the window to construct
The browns communal home is closing by the day.
But in the rush to get back
And resume prep for bear's wedding,
The family runs into some brown luck.
-Oh, wait, stop! -What is it?
Did we lose some?
We should probably split up.
Y'all guys go for the rebar,
While I try to get the tire changed.
Yeah, we have to find every piece that we lost.
Rebar doesn't grow on trees, and as we're looking at it,
We lost quite a bit and that's a problem,
Because I don't want to be, like,
"oh, okay, let's just go with what we have."
And then we get to the house site and not have enough.
This is literally our only hope for changing it.
I don't have anything else.
This is a high lift jack.
Their design goes back for a long time.
Old and rusted doesn't mean old and busted.
It's spinning a little bit, but it's going to work.
Hopefully the girls find all the rebar.
I think I see one.
No! It's a mess.
From a distance, like, that part really looked like it.
You would think that,
Oh, there's some rebar, it's easy to find.
In all of this, it blends in so well.
I mean, you would think that
We could spot it between the two of us.
-Oh, boy! -Aha!
I found one!
We've been out here for a couple of hours now,
And we do not have long to get this deer.
The wedding's in a couple of days,
And I think we walked in a few circles just following trails.
It might be time to re-assess and figure out
Where we really are.
I think our best chance
Is to find a nice spot on the other side,
Where nobody has any business being.
We'll be left alone, we just sit,
We don't talk, we don't make any noise.
And we'll get a deer.
No, gabe, I think, yeah, let's park
And stare at a brick wall. -Okay.
I think let's find the least open spot we possibly can,
And cover our eyes all day.
No, bam is definitely on edge.
You know, we're losing daylight.
At this point, with it looking like
We're not going to get something, the pressure is on.
I have a great sense of direction,
Unless you drop me into the middle of the city
Where everything kind of looks the same.
But out in the woods, I see the detail in the tree,
The way it looks, what ground you covered
To get where you're going.
I'm definitely glad rain wasn't home.
I don't know how much she'll appreciate me
Hunting the back side of her land.
She'd be, like, "ah, did you know my house was here?"
Answer, "no."
Unfortunately, didn't find anything,
And actually ended up walking up on rainy's little house
On wheels here, so this is a bust.
I'm just doing a little landscaping,
Making this place a little bit more of a landscaped.
Just channeling the inner dog.
I've always been told I dig like a dog.
Getting a head start before his future wife moves in,
Bear is sprucing up the terrain by his connex,
Using decorative techniques from his childhood days in the bush.
Right now I'm basically building a small rock wall.
Back in alaska, we used to make stuff like this
When I was a kid all the time,
Showing the entire border of our camp, basically,
Just built up with rocks and stuff.
It just looks cool.
It's mainly for decoration,
But I also intend to maybe put
A small firepit in this area, too,
Because it's perfect for roasting hot dogs
And watching the sunset.
Well, I think everybody is extremely happy
That I've found someone, to be honest.
Think they're fine with the speed that raiven
And I have ended up going.
I didn't really expect things to move as quickly as they did,
But I believe I've found the one.
I cannot wait to spend as much time with her as possible.
One thing that makes this an extreme rock wall
Is the fact that it's not done conventionally.
I'm using the dirt to fill in all the gaps
That are left by the rocks.
It's almost like a form of bush concrete,
Make it one solid entity, basically.
I'm excited for this wedding, because it's a really big step
In bear's life,
And he's never really been
In a super-serious relationship before.
Do any of you like to climb trees?
Well, it might have taken me a little bit longer
Than my brothers to find the one.
Beautiful woman right in front of me.
-Thank you!
I've never had a relationship or anything like that.
I've just basically hung out on a date here
Or there and then, you know, back to the forest.
Never really found a girl that actually caught my eye.
Do any of you all girls like to play with fire?
-I like to watch fire. -Do you?
Ah, I love fire.
Everyone always said I was a tool.
I guess I'd be a swiss army knife.
Oh, since I'm not swiss, I'd be an alaskan army life.
I liked, you know, being myself, doing my thing
And, you know, taking my time,
But anything good is really worth waiting for,
And it's one thing that raiven, she's definitely worth the wait.
I do wish that they would spend some more time
Together not married, but he's really happy right now,
So I, like, feed off of his excitement,
And I want to be there for him in every way I possibly can.
Sprinkle it on, just like making a pizza.
Every wolf should have a mate.
Wolves are pack animals, and even being a lone wolf,
I'm still a pack animal.
Having raiven is more like, you know,
Completing that circle, completing the wolf pack.
Are you excited? Nervous?
Yeah, both. A little bit of both.
Joining the wolf pack won't be easy.
I do definitely want to, you know,
Feel her out a little bit,
Just make sure she's good for bear.
And crank the crank, as quietly as you can.
Shh!
Bam and I have been trying everything trying to get a deer.
You know, we've been stalking, we've been looking for them.
Not much luck, so we're going to go with the other tried
And true method, which is blind hunting.
How's it looking?
It's looking pretty good.
Bear and raiven's bush wedding is inching closer,
And the whole family readies for the special occasion.
Ah, mine's done.
But miles down mountain,
The wolf pack races to recover their lost building materials.
-Look. -Oh, is that some?
Yep, in the road there.
It wouldn't be a trip for any of the browns
To go get something if something didn't go wrong.
Ah! Ah!
If something didn't go wrong I would be afraid, like,
I was going to be struck by lightning.
Okay. The tire's changed.
It turns out we got an old school jack can work.
That was it!
-So we have them all? -We got them all. Yes!
There for a minute or two I didn't know
If we would find it all,
But I am glad that we're back on track.
We have everything.
Now we just need to get the rest of the way up.
It's important to just get back up the mountain
As quickly as possible,
Because not only is winter coming,
But so is a wedding.
-Oh, that's bumpy. -Mm-hmm.
I am looking for a good stick. I got to make a deer call.
It's an old native trick that you take a stick
That already has a bend in it, or you cut a bend in it,
And then you just put a leaf in that.
With no sign of deer hours after setting up a blind,
Gabe is attempting to resurrect a bush hunting implement,
If he can master the technique.
Not a flatulent deer. Come on!
It takes a minute to get it right,
But I did eventually get, like, a good deer bleat.
So, any minute now something can walk round the corner
And we don't want to be caught off-guard.
Ooh, I just keeping thinking any minute's going to be
The minute something walks out.
It's got to be in a minute, right?
Hey, bam? Hey, gabe?
Why don't you shoot me real quick and eat me and wear me?
We're just gonna be sitting back here.
All of a sudden we'll see a deer walk out,
Not just one, but two, and we go home heroes.
It can get a little bit boring,
A little stir crazy sitting in a blind.
But gabey, he goes a little more stir crazy,
I think, sitting in a blind,
Especially if he gets, like, uncomfortable.
I don't know if I could do an english accent.
Oh, it's so hard.
It's like talking with a, like, squeaky, annoying person.
crikey! We're here behind the blind.
It's nice. It's probably the nicest blind I've ever seen.
I keep hoping I'm gonna look up
And I'll see deer roaming the plains in herds.
Hopefully we can shoot one, take it home.
It'll be nice and good.
That is very good. That was good.
it's like grabbing a duck, touchdown.
Down. Their feathers. Touchdown.
We've been sitting in the blind for a while.
I don't think there are a lot of deer out here.
We haven't seen hide nor hair of anything.
I'll probably call it.
-You think so? -Yeah. It's pouring down.
All the deer are sitting under a tree somewhere.
Yeah, probably. Alright.
-Let's call it a day. -Alright.
Let's pack it up and pack it in.
Let's go. Sorry we didn't get one.
I'm shattered.
I really thought that I was going to be able
To pull a rabbit out of the hat with this one and surprise bear,
But you can't hunt in the dark, so we need a plan b.
I don't know, those goats are looking good.
The deer are out there, like, "finally, they're leaving!"
-Wedding! -Yeah!
And we were actually doing it here in the barn,
And then, like, the actual ceremony
In the location that gabe and raquell did.
I'm all the guys' younger sister,
But in certain instances
I've always acted more like the older sister,
Because I want to protect them.
I do definitely want to,
You know, feel her out a little bit
And get to know her a little better.
Just make sure she's good for bear.
Since I've named a lot of the animals,
I think you should name this one.
Oh.
What do you think of when you look at
The little chicken?
Tiny.
That's cute.
Okay, that's her name then. You can be tiny.
Hopefully don't get really big.
Just consider it an early wedding gift, too.
I don't have to give you anything on the wedding day.
-Thank you! -I gave you a chicken now.
Are you excited? Nervous?
Both. A little bit of both.
I'm excited, but a little nervous.
Okay.
I never thought in my life that I would be in this situation.
I definitely imagined myself
Living in a little house near a city.
It's good to see bear smiling, you know,
And I'm just excited that you and bear are happy.
When you are in the bush,
You are having to use the things that you have,
Definitely using your imagination more.
It's still a lot of work.
I mean, I can imagine it's a little overwhelming, probably?
A little bit.
It's just like going to a nine to five job,
But not people that you go to work with.
They're your family, they're your brothers,
Your sisters, your husband, your children, you know?
Those are the people that you'll spend the rest of your life
Creating a life with.
I still need to feel, how, like,
See how bear's feeling, you know?
Because I'm sure he's nervous.
Raiven is getting into a lot very quickly.
She's not just marrying bear,
She's going to be a part of this family,
And that involves a lot,
And I feel like that's just catching up to her.
She seems nervous, you know,
And I feel like it's just pre-wedding jitters
And that everything's going to be good.
Whilst sharing a meal of baked beans,
Bird is indulging in her favorite treat.
I really like onion.
Ew! Gross!
You know, most people just peel it and use little bits.
It's not enough, ever.
You're not going to succeed at hunting.
They're going to know you're coming.
It's a good onion.
That's disgusting.
Just remember to brush your teeth.
You're lucky it's not garlic.
So, you want to wrangle some chickens
And I wrangle a horse?
Sounds good!
Well, today alicia and I are actually decorating
The barn for bear's wedding.
The wedding is definitely coming pretty fast.
We've a lot of pressure to do a lot in a short amount of time.
Come on, this is going to be a wedding area. Go!
No, I guess we need to take these out.
Oh! -Oh!
Bear and raiven's relationship
Definitely has moved quick,
But along with that is raiven's transition
Into living in the bush.
That has definitely moved very fast
And I just hope she's ready for it.
I feel like there's no need to rush it.
I think it runs in the dna to do things fast.
For the brothers, at least.
Hey! Noah and I waited two years.
Two years!
I like picking on the guys.
It seems like they just marry the first girl
That they see that'll stay for longer than an afternoon.
With raiven being bear's first serious girlfriend,
I am afraid that they're moving a little fast into marriage,
But he's a grown man, you know?
If he wants to get married then, you know,
I'll definitely stand beside him.
There we go.
The barn is ready for a wedding.
I am beginning an old family recipe.
It's a casserole.
You know, we might not have gotten a deer,
There's not going to be any venison at the wedding,
But that doesn't mean we can't eat good.
This recipe is on my dad's side.
It's an old family recipe.
It goes back generations,
And everybody's going to love it.
You can do it with pretty much any pasta.
I like the flatter ones.
Oh, no! Water, stat!
Ah, ah, ah, yeah!
I hope that doesn't taste burned.
It helps to boil noodles if you have water,
So putting noodles in a pan on an open fire
Before the water is a bad idea.
I'm hoping they're not too burned.
They're, you know, only some of them are black.
It'll be good. I'll put more celery salt in.
They are definitely cooking. Uneven and maybe a little fast.
I am a one-man army right now.
I'm bear's best man.
Feel like it's on me to make it like the most special day
For him that it can be,
And I want it to be really good.
Veggies, chicken, chicken, cream of mushroom.
Alright. Oh! Oh!
I don't guess anybody has any cheese?
No? Dang it!
It's not even a casserole without cheese.
Well, I can put the cheese on later.
Ready to go back in the oven.
Bear's wedding came up really quick,
Kind of snuck up on everybody.
I wanted to get deer. That didn't happen.
Totally burned me. Oh, ah!
You know, even without the deer, I think it's going to be good.
I think it's going to be the perfect day.
Oh, my goodness! That's a casserole right there.
Oh, yeah.
Throw some cheese on that bad boy,
We got ourselves a casserole.
They call me emeril lagabey.
As the big day approaches,
The wolf pack makes final preparations.
Oh, that's nice!
I feel too excited about this.
I guess what I'm looking forward to the most
Is them standing and exchanging vows.
And when they exchange their vows,
They become a single entity.
Just to be a part of it,
Just to be alive, you know, I mean,
When he starts this journey is, just tickles me to death.
-Well, me, too. -You know, it really does.
Hold on, hold on. I need a minute, guys.
Just one second.
There's just some stuff happening.
I've talked to mom and dad,
But we're not really ready to, like, talk about it like now.
So what's the plan then?
I mean, he has to be around here somewhere, right?
It doesn't always go as planned,
And, you know, I don't mean to be pushy to anyone,
But, like, we just need a little bit of time
And a little bit of space.
We just need a couple of minutes, please.
-Okay. -We need a couple of minutes.
On the next episode of "alaskan bush people"...
Just thought that she was the one and all.
Just wasn't what she was looking for.
This hit bear a lot harder than he realizes.
I think it broke his heart.
You can't blame yourself,
Because it wasn't you.
Some people aren't compatible. -No.
I was afraid that the ground would be frozen.
Just light this baby up.
Starting a fire,
It's the only way to get the foundation in.
This will be fun. Just light it.
-What do I do with him? -Gabey, don't fight!
-Stop!
I'll admit, nothing's going like we planned.
When you feel like you're in a hunt.
I can barely see.
That's when it's so important to stay focused.
Yeah, it looks like there's another hunter.
Hold it!
The whole pack has got to be at top game.
We're literally breaking ground!
-There you go! -Yeah!
