1
00:00:01,318 --> 00:00:02,543
Just be careful.
I might start hauling boards.
2
00:00:02,619 --> 00:00:04,211
Okay. You watch your step.
3
00:00:04,672 --> 00:00:05,671
Stay strong, little tree.
4
00:00:05,673 --> 00:00:06,922
Whoo!
5
00:00:06,999 --> 00:00:08,924
[narrator] On this episode
6
00:00:08,926 --> 00:00:10,718
of Alaskan Bush People.
7
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,845
Instead of going to town
and getting lumber,
8
00:00:12,847 --> 00:00:14,722
I'm thinking a lot more
about salvaging.
9
00:00:14,724 --> 00:00:16,306
If I wanna build a house.
10
00:00:16,308 --> 00:00:17,599
[Bam Bam]
That thing is probably
11
00:00:17,601 --> 00:00:18,809
gonna get somebody hurt.
12
00:00:18,811 --> 00:00:20,936
The whole thing's
starting to wobble.
13
00:00:21,981 --> 00:00:23,605
[Raiven] That's not good.
14
00:00:23,607 --> 00:00:24,732
Bear!
15
00:00:24,808 --> 00:00:25,816
Get outta here!
16
00:00:25,818 --> 00:00:27,383
Stop!
17
00:00:28,738 --> 00:00:31,280
It's like an 80% chance
that the tumors will come back
18
00:00:31,282 --> 00:00:33,949
and that they'll be,
uh, cancerous.
19
00:00:34,026 --> 00:00:36,994
This whole ordeal
has definitely not been easy
20
00:00:37,038 --> 00:00:39,371
I just wanna go to Alaska
and clear my head.
21
00:00:39,448 --> 00:00:41,189
-Just... No.
-[Rain] Put your...
22
00:00:41,191 --> 00:00:43,917
-[Snowbird] No. Stop.
-[Rain] You can't lift
yourself, Birdy.
23
00:00:43,919 --> 00:00:45,252
Bird is going back Alaska.
24
00:00:45,329 --> 00:00:47,129
I'm not sure
how that's gonna happen.
25
00:00:47,131 --> 00:00:49,256
[Noah] I definitely missed i
more than I thought I would
26
00:00:49,333 --> 00:00:50,424
Just awesome.
27
00:00:58,684 --> 00:01:02,144
[mellow music playing]
28
00:01:02,146 --> 00:01:04,646
[Gabe] Spring cleaning,
this creek's the best.
29
00:01:06,442 --> 00:01:09,234
Make sure I get a good lather.
30
00:01:09,236 --> 00:01:11,111
Well, today,
I'm trying to catch up
31
00:01:11,113 --> 00:01:12,613
on some of the chores
32
00:01:12,615 --> 00:01:15,032
of getting this mountain
livable again.
33
00:01:15,076 --> 00:01:16,158
You know, we all had
to evacuate
34
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,659
so fast during the fire,
35
00:01:17,736 --> 00:01:19,286
there's a lot of stuff
that's been overlooked.
36
00:01:19,288 --> 00:01:21,163
So just catching up
on some dishes,
37
00:01:21,165 --> 00:01:23,540
doing some laundry.
38
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:25,125
You know, it's really hard
with not everybody
39
00:01:25,127 --> 00:01:26,502
being up on the mountain.
40
00:01:26,504 --> 00:01:27,503
You know,
Raquell and the girls,
41
00:01:27,505 --> 00:01:28,812
I miss them every day.
42
00:01:28,814 --> 00:01:30,464
We've lived
up a mountain before,
43
00:01:30,466 --> 00:01:31,924
but we keep
getting forced out
44
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,175
through strokes of bad luck
45
00:01:33,177 --> 00:01:34,802
and it's just killing me.
46
00:01:34,804 --> 00:01:36,261
I wanna get Raquell
and the girls
47
00:01:36,338 --> 00:01:38,305
moved up to the mountain
as fast as I can.
48
00:01:38,307 --> 00:01:39,932
But right now,
there's no place for them.
49
00:01:39,934 --> 00:01:41,892
That's the main thing
in my mind.
50
00:01:41,936 --> 00:01:43,727
I need someplace,
someplace safe,
51
00:01:43,729 --> 00:01:46,313
someplace kind of nice
to put Raquell and the girls.
52
00:01:47,358 --> 00:01:50,234
A good pair of boots,
or tennis shoes.
53
00:01:50,236 --> 00:01:52,111
These puppies need to soak.
54
00:01:52,905 --> 00:01:54,655
Start clean... Oh.
55
00:01:54,690 --> 00:01:56,073
One thing I didn't think of,
56
00:01:56,075 --> 00:01:57,783
now I'm gonna be washing
all my dishes
57
00:01:57,785 --> 00:01:59,326
down from the dirtiest shoes
58
00:01:59,403 --> 00:02:01,286
you've ever seen in your life.
59
00:02:01,363 --> 00:02:02,788
Okay. You go further down.
60
00:02:03,958 --> 00:02:05,874
There we go.
61
00:02:05,876 --> 00:02:07,668
You know, when I think
about the kind of home
62
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:10,087
that I wanna build
for Raquell and the girls,
63
00:02:10,089 --> 00:02:11,688
it's a very storybook.
64
00:02:11,690 --> 00:02:14,216
I wanna build, you know,
a log cabin in the woods.
65
00:02:14,218 --> 00:02:15,926
This place
that I come back to
66
00:02:15,970 --> 00:02:18,345
after a long day of work,
see the smoke
67
00:02:18,347 --> 00:02:20,889
coming through the chimney
and I walk in the door,
68
00:02:20,891 --> 00:02:22,975
all my little ones jump on me,
69
00:02:22,977 --> 00:02:24,518
you know, "Daddy's home!
Daddy's home!"
70
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,769
And, oh,
that's what I'm looking for,
71
00:02:25,813 --> 00:02:28,480
you know,
a cottage in the woods.
72
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:31,108
There's a lot to be done.
I have to find a location.
73
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:32,776
I have to put in
a foundation.
74
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:35,487
I am very determined to build
something on the mountain
75
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:38,073
that Raquell and the kids
can come home to right now.
76
00:02:38,075 --> 00:02:40,534
You know, I'd like to get them
up there yesterday
77
00:02:40,536 --> 00:02:42,911
and I think I can pull it off.
78
00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:45,873
This is it, you know,
as soon as you come up here,
79
00:02:45,949 --> 00:02:47,749
you feel a sense of freedom.
80
00:02:49,003 --> 00:02:50,460
Yeah, definitely
for a bush boy,
81
00:02:50,504 --> 00:02:52,629
this is the only place
you can be happy.
82
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:56,133
[narrator]
It's the beginning of sprin
83
00:02:56,135 --> 00:02:57,885
in Northern Washington.
84
00:02:57,887 --> 00:03:01,221
And with the final traces
of winter fading,
85
00:03:01,298 --> 00:03:04,433
new life blooms
on North Star Ranch.
86
00:03:04,435 --> 00:03:08,812
Look at you, handsome boy.
87
00:03:08,814 --> 00:03:12,691
Get that winter shed off you.
88
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:14,735
[narrator] For some,
the new season
89
00:03:14,737 --> 00:03:17,738
marks a fresh start
on the mountain.
90
00:03:17,740 --> 00:03:22,910
For others, ambitions lie
on a future back in Alaska.
91
00:03:22,986 --> 00:03:26,580
[Noah] I have great childhoo
memories of Alaska.
92
00:03:26,657 --> 00:03:28,290
I wanna give that to my kids
93
00:03:28,292 --> 00:03:29,958
So we're going to head up
to Alaska
94
00:03:30,035 --> 00:03:32,461
and we're going to buy
a piece of property.
95
00:03:33,714 --> 00:03:36,840
There's a lot of little town
that I'm looking at.
96
00:03:36,884 --> 00:03:38,467
It's called
the South East End.
97
00:03:38,469 --> 00:03:40,928
We'd really like to be able
to have a place
98
00:03:41,004 --> 00:03:42,137
in Alaska before winter.
99
00:03:42,214 --> 00:03:43,263
And if we're gonna do that,
100
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:45,057
we need to do it now.
101
00:03:45,059 --> 00:03:47,726
But Bird hasn't
fully recovered yet,
102
00:03:47,803 --> 00:03:50,020
and we've given her
quite a bit of time.
103
00:03:50,022 --> 00:03:52,356
If she's not ready to go
by the time we are,
104
00:03:52,399 --> 00:03:53,690
then we're just
gonna have to go.
105
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:55,901
So, fingers crossed
on that one.
106
00:03:58,364 --> 00:04:00,155
[Bird] You wanna know why
I didn't go to the doctor
107
00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:01,823
-from the beginning?
-Why?
108
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:04,451
I was afraid something
was really wrong with me.
109
00:04:04,453 --> 00:04:07,496
But that's when you go
to the doctors, silly girl,
110
00:04:07,498 --> 00:04:10,249
so they can catch it quickly.
111
00:04:10,325 --> 00:04:11,833
[dramatic music playing]
112
00:04:11,835 --> 00:04:13,752
[narrator]
Weeks after a major surgery
113
00:04:13,754 --> 00:04:16,964
to remove dangerous tumors
in her abdomen,
114
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,008
Bird recovers
on North Star Ranch,
115
00:04:20,010 --> 00:04:22,010
contemplating
the life-changing
116
00:04:22,012 --> 00:04:23,345
decisions ahead.
117
00:04:23,347 --> 00:04:24,680
It's like an 80% chance
118
00:04:24,682 --> 00:04:26,223
that the tumors will come back
119
00:04:26,225 --> 00:04:28,558
and that there's like a higher
than 50% chance
120
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,644
that they will be,
uh, cancerous
121
00:04:30,646 --> 00:04:32,396
if they come back again.
122
00:04:34,275 --> 00:04:35,148
I love you.
123
00:04:35,225 --> 00:04:37,192
-Yeah.
-It's okay.
124
00:04:37,194 --> 00:04:39,152
Not really.
You know, to an extent.
125
00:04:39,229 --> 00:04:40,696
It might be okay later,
126
00:04:40,772 --> 00:04:43,031
but to an extent,
it's not really okay.
127
00:04:43,108 --> 00:04:45,033
-You know?
-[Ami] It isn't. It isn't.
128
00:04:47,413 --> 00:04:49,997
It's been hard to watch her
go through this.
129
00:04:50,073 --> 00:04:51,773
I'm into my health crisis.
130
00:04:51,850 --> 00:04:53,834
It's different when you see
your child going through it
131
00:04:53,836 --> 00:04:56,044
I would take it
a thousand times
132
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,005
to keep her from having
to go through it.
133
00:04:58,007 --> 00:04:59,673
You know, they didn't give me
very good options
134
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:00,948
of how do I fix it.
135
00:05:00,950 --> 00:05:03,677
There's a hormone treatment
they can do,
136
00:05:03,754 --> 00:05:05,304
but they don't even know
if that would work.
137
00:05:05,306 --> 00:05:06,638
And I know
what the other thing is.
138
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,806
Uh-huh. Yeah.
139
00:05:07,883 --> 00:05:09,516
Hysterectomy.
140
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:11,601
So...
141
00:05:11,603 --> 00:05:13,854
Did she ask you about...
142
00:05:15,607 --> 00:05:17,607
About what, Mom?
143
00:05:17,609 --> 00:05:20,068
If you ever wanted children?
144
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:22,362
She did happen to ask that.
Yes.
145
00:05:22,364 --> 00:05:24,364
What do you think about that?
146
00:05:27,244 --> 00:05:31,538
Well, those are decisions
that, like, changed.
147
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:33,081
You know, how they change
your life a lot.
148
00:05:33,158 --> 00:05:34,291
Yes, they do.
149
00:05:34,293 --> 00:05:35,876
And now it's like
I have to do it
150
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:37,544
or I can't do it ever.
151
00:05:37,621 --> 00:05:39,212
-And it's like a big decision.
-[Ami] I know.
152
00:05:41,008 --> 00:05:42,674
With everything
happening now,
153
00:05:42,751 --> 00:05:45,218
there is still a lot
that goes into
154
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:48,263
if I decide
that I ever want kids,
155
00:05:48,265 --> 00:05:50,682
you know, it has to kind of be
a decision that I make now.
156
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:53,060
And there's a lot
that can go into that,
157
00:05:53,062 --> 00:05:55,812
you know,
of having to meet someone.
158
00:05:55,814 --> 00:05:58,774
Dating and relationships
is already complicated
159
00:05:58,776 --> 00:06:02,569
and you throw this situation
that I'm in on top of that.
160
00:06:02,646 --> 00:06:04,946
Who wants to walk into that?
161
00:06:06,784 --> 00:06:08,617
I do feel horrible
162
00:06:08,619 --> 00:06:11,578
that we didn't get to go
to Alaska right now.
163
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:12,704
Postponed it.
164
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:14,331
Not "didn't get to go."
165
00:06:14,375 --> 00:06:15,749
-We are still going.
-[Ami] Uh-hmm.
166
00:06:15,751 --> 00:06:17,709
You have to recuperate though.
167
00:06:18,962 --> 00:06:21,463
I'd be concerned about Birdy
going to Alaska
168
00:06:21,465 --> 00:06:24,091
before she's fully healed
because I have lived there
169
00:06:24,167 --> 00:06:28,178
a long time and just walking
can be treacherous.
170
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:30,180
Birdy isn't even walking
on her own right now,
171
00:06:30,182 --> 00:06:32,265
so to me, it is very much
172
00:06:32,267 --> 00:06:34,393
too soon for her to be
planning on a big trip.
173
00:06:34,395 --> 00:06:36,728
I can take it easy, you know?
174
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:38,438
And I think it'd be good
for me to get out,
175
00:06:38,515 --> 00:06:40,273
walk in a creek,
176
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:41,400
-see some bears...
-That will get you excited.
177
00:06:41,435 --> 00:06:43,360
pet a bear cub, you know?
178
00:06:43,404 --> 00:06:45,362
You know you're not gonna pet
a bear cub.
179
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:46,613
[Bird] You don't know
what will happen.
180
00:06:47,616 --> 00:06:49,825
Noah's leaving
in a couple of weeks
181
00:06:49,827 --> 00:06:52,285
and I'm really trying
to heal up.
182
00:06:52,287 --> 00:06:54,037
Right now, it feels like
I'll never be healthy
183
00:06:54,039 --> 00:06:55,414
as long as I live.
184
00:06:55,416 --> 00:06:57,082
But hopefully,
if I take it easy,
185
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:58,792
I think I'll be
good enough to go.
186
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:03,046
Look away one second,
I'm just gonna cough in pain.
187
00:07:03,799 --> 00:07:05,382
[coughs]
188
00:07:05,384 --> 00:07:07,634
[country music playing]
189
00:07:07,711 --> 00:07:10,053
[Bear] This should be about
the perfect spot.
190
00:07:10,055 --> 00:07:11,337
I just need
to get it cleaned off
191
00:07:11,339 --> 00:07:13,432
before we can even start
laying it out.
192
00:07:14,977 --> 00:07:17,310
[narrator] After successfull
hauling his trailer
193
00:07:17,312 --> 00:07:19,187
up mountain days earlier,
194
00:07:19,264 --> 00:07:23,024
Bear looks to expand
his temporary living quarter
195
00:07:23,101 --> 00:07:26,445
so his wife and son
can live more comfortably
196
00:07:26,521 --> 00:07:28,029
in their new environment.
197
00:07:28,106 --> 00:07:30,532
This is a gigantic tent.
198
00:07:30,534 --> 00:07:33,285
Better to have more spare room
199
00:07:33,287 --> 00:07:38,748
and better to keep your wife
and kid comfortable in.
200
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:40,274
Because right now
we have a trailer.
201
00:07:40,276 --> 00:07:42,836
It's a nice trailer but
it's a little bit compact.
202
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:46,131
Now, a tent out here,
you really don't want it
203
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:48,341
without a floor, basically,
because there are ticks.
204
00:07:48,418 --> 00:07:51,011
There are snakes.
205
00:07:51,013 --> 00:07:55,682
So I'm just gonna try to ge
a floor put in and a tent up
206
00:07:55,684 --> 00:07:58,143
Well, I've always been
as extreme as possible,
207
00:07:58,145 --> 00:08:00,604
but I have become
a little bit less extreme,
208
00:08:00,606 --> 00:08:02,147
just because I'm doing more
209
00:08:02,224 --> 00:08:04,149
grounded stuff,
more family stuff.
210
00:08:05,235 --> 00:08:07,152
[Raiven] I did just put River
down for a nap
211
00:08:07,154 --> 00:08:08,636
-as well so...
-[Bear] Perfect.
212
00:08:08,714 --> 00:08:11,490
we can try to take care
of this while he's resting.
213
00:08:11,492 --> 00:08:13,200
Oh, let's get all this out
the way, get it flattened out.
214
00:08:13,202 --> 00:08:16,828
Then we should measure it
and put our corner posts in.
215
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:18,747
There are mice in this area
right here.
216
00:08:20,209 --> 00:08:22,959
I don't wanna build it
over, like, mice, obviously.
217
00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:25,170
But I'll just try to shoo them
along their way.
218
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:26,505
That's why standing on this?
219
00:08:26,507 --> 00:08:27,881
Yeah.
220
00:08:27,916 --> 00:08:29,156
There are fat ones.
221
00:08:29,158 --> 00:08:30,675
They're not the type
that run up your leg.
222
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:33,428
That's more of the small ones.
223
00:08:33,505 --> 00:08:36,223
So now, I've got two thoughts,
which is where are the mice
224
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:37,849
that are gonna run up my leg
225
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:40,977
and I don't wanna be
near the mice,
226
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:42,771
preferably not, you know,
and this is one
227
00:08:42,773 --> 00:08:45,524
of the adjustments
that we're at where,
228
00:08:45,526 --> 00:08:46,858
you know, I'm willing to help,
229
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,236
but after the mice
are removed.
230
00:08:50,906 --> 00:08:54,407
[Bear] So it's gonna be 30
longways and then 16 wide.
231
00:08:54,409 --> 00:08:56,826
I am the least builder
232
00:08:56,828 --> 00:08:58,537
of everyone
in my entire family.
233
00:08:58,539 --> 00:09:01,164
I mainly just do destruction
and roof work,
234
00:09:01,166 --> 00:09:02,332
to be honest.
235
00:09:02,334 --> 00:09:03,750
I've seen a lot of building,
236
00:09:03,827 --> 00:09:05,252
but I've never used
these before.
237
00:09:05,254 --> 00:09:07,170
But I think that I know
the method now.
238
00:09:07,214 --> 00:09:10,382
This tape is a 30-foot tape,
so that's perfect.
239
00:09:10,384 --> 00:09:11,624
Exactly 30 feet.
240
00:09:11,701 --> 00:09:14,469
So that means
there will be maximum tape,
241
00:09:14,471 --> 00:09:16,179
huh, 30 feet.
242
00:09:16,181 --> 00:09:17,806
Here, you wanna walk
up here with me, baby,
243
00:09:17,808 --> 00:09:19,307
and hold the end of this?
244
00:09:19,309 --> 00:09:21,851
I think right about
up here, probably.
245
00:09:22,813 --> 00:09:24,896
Okay.
Just hold it tight, baby,
246
00:09:24,973 --> 00:09:26,589
-for 30 feet.
-You hold it tightly.
247
00:09:26,591 --> 00:09:28,900
Now, the question, should it
be in the middle or the edge?
248
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:33,446
I think the edge because 16
is the max length of it, so.
249
00:09:33,448 --> 00:09:35,282
Well, I definitely wanna show
Raiven and River
250
00:09:35,284 --> 00:09:38,368
that I can be reliable
as the dad in the family,
251
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:40,120
that I can, you know,
protect them
252
00:09:40,122 --> 00:09:41,705
and, you know, give them
everything they need.
253
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:44,958
That didn't work.
254
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,334
Breaking stuff is one
of my specialties.
255
00:09:46,411 --> 00:09:48,378
I got it. I'll just unwind it.
256
00:09:48,422 --> 00:09:50,079
-I just don't wanna cut
my fingers off.
-[Raiven] Yeah. Yeah.
257
00:09:50,081 --> 00:09:52,215
You wanna turn it off before
you stick your fingers in it?
258
00:09:52,259 --> 00:09:55,510
Uh, good call, baby, by all
sensible and logical like.
259
00:09:57,097 --> 00:09:59,055
[Gabe] Good thing Bam
didn't see that.
260
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:02,350
Okay. Here we are.
261
00:10:02,352 --> 00:10:03,660
What do you think?
262
00:10:03,662 --> 00:10:05,937
[Bam Bam] Down here,
you have a lot of land
263
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:07,063
to utilize actually.
264
00:10:07,065 --> 00:10:08,898
[Gabe] I really like this.
265
00:10:09,943 --> 00:10:12,694
[narrator] A half mile away
Bam and Gabe
266
00:10:12,696 --> 00:10:14,738
scout a future cabin site,
267
00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:16,823
sitting on 40 acres.
268
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:20,160
Gabe's land provides
easy access to water
269
00:10:20,236 --> 00:10:22,203
and other natural resources
270
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,747
I definitely
wanna raise the kids
271
00:10:23,749 --> 00:10:25,874
in the same kind of
environment that I grew up in,
272
00:10:25,876 --> 00:10:28,293
with all a lot of the freedoms
that the bush has to offer.
273
00:10:28,370 --> 00:10:30,420
It's important for me
to find a nice house site
274
00:10:30,422 --> 00:10:32,589
where that's
gonna be possible.
275
00:10:32,591 --> 00:10:35,925
[Bam Bam] Dude, you have
a runoff river right here.
276
00:10:35,927 --> 00:10:37,177
[Gabe] Is that good?
277
00:10:37,179 --> 00:10:38,511
Yes, it's very good.
278
00:10:38,513 --> 00:10:40,196
[Gabe] I like to hear that.
279
00:10:40,198 --> 00:10:42,557
[Bam Bam] You have definitely
been blessed with a gift here.
280
00:10:42,634 --> 00:10:44,809
-So what do you think?
-[Bam Bam] It's great.
281
00:10:44,886 --> 00:10:46,144
I think this is it.
282
00:10:46,221 --> 00:10:47,937
[grunts]
283
00:10:47,939 --> 00:10:50,690
I have claimed my spot.
284
00:10:50,692 --> 00:10:53,026
Anyone will tell you
if they're building
their own house,
285
00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:54,861
the hardest thing to it
is getting the lumber.
286
00:10:54,863 --> 00:10:56,363
We have a lot
of salvaged lumber
287
00:10:56,439 --> 00:10:58,657
from the burned trees
that were on our property.
288
00:10:58,659 --> 00:11:00,825
And now we're gonna have
to come up with a lot more,
289
00:11:00,902 --> 00:11:02,535
get as much lumber as we can.
290
00:11:02,612 --> 00:11:04,412
The name of the game
right now is lumber.
291
00:11:06,208 --> 00:11:07,832
Instead of going to town,
292
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:10,085
I'm thinking a lot more
about salvaging.
293
00:11:10,087 --> 00:11:11,711
Right. Like we're cutting
down the trees
294
00:11:11,746 --> 00:11:13,229
-to mill as much as we can...
-[Gabe] Yeah.
295
00:11:13,231 --> 00:11:15,674
seeing about getting an actual
mill on the mountain.
296
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:17,842
Yeah. On top of that,
there's a lot
297
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:21,137
of old establishments
and things here,
298
00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:24,099
like some of the old flumes
from the gold miners.
299
00:11:24,893 --> 00:11:28,561
And there's a lot of good wood
still left on them.
300
00:11:28,563 --> 00:11:30,980
You know, looking up at the
sides of all these mountains,
301
00:11:30,982 --> 00:11:33,900
they've got gold sluices
running all over them
302
00:11:33,977 --> 00:11:36,152
where they used
to transport the gold
303
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:38,488
and all of these old
mining wreckages
and everything else.
304
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:40,824
Ever since we got here,
I've been looking up
at those.
305
00:11:40,826 --> 00:11:43,284
I'm like, "Wow. They're jus
sitting there rotting."
306
00:11:43,286 --> 00:11:44,911
You know, I just think
it would be incredible
307
00:11:44,913 --> 00:11:47,497
to use that old wood
in part of my house
308
00:11:47,499 --> 00:11:48,957
for my little family,
you know.
309
00:11:49,033 --> 00:11:50,291
I think that Raquell
and the girls
310
00:11:50,293 --> 00:11:52,335
growing up in a house
full of history,
311
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:54,796
it just teaches everything
that I wanna teach my girls
312
00:11:54,798 --> 00:11:56,798
You have to remember
where you've been
313
00:11:56,833 --> 00:11:58,508
in order to keep going
where you're going.
314
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:01,845
Okay.
Now, when you say salvage,
315
00:12:01,847 --> 00:12:04,973
have you checked out to see
how much is actually viable?
316
00:12:04,975 --> 00:12:08,059
Nope. All I have is the
go ahead to go check it out.
317
00:12:08,136 --> 00:12:10,478
The main thing that we need
to find out is, is it rotten?
318
00:12:10,555 --> 00:12:12,564
That's the number one thing.
And then you go up
and poke it.
319
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:13,881
Hold that thought.
320
00:12:15,277 --> 00:12:17,318
-You want one?
-[Bam Bam] I am not hungry.
321
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,112
-Not hungry?
-Not hungry.
322
00:12:19,114 --> 00:12:20,822
-Not at the moment.
-Sure you don't want
one on a lick?
323
00:12:20,824 --> 00:12:22,323
Tempting, but no.
324
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,325
Well, cheers.
325
00:12:27,164 --> 00:12:28,580
When Gabey suggests
326
00:12:28,582 --> 00:12:30,290
a salvage job
that he wants to do,
327
00:12:30,292 --> 00:12:33,543
it's usually not
a small thing.
328
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:36,171
[Gabe] This could be like home
sweet home if we fixed it up.
329
00:12:36,173 --> 00:12:38,923
[Bam Bam] It's usually
something that's gonna be
a bit of an endeavor.
330
00:12:38,925 --> 00:12:40,800
[Gabe] We're literally
floating an entire house
331
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:43,344
all the way back
to Brown Town.
332
00:12:43,346 --> 00:12:45,764
Gabey is not just known
for taking large bites
333
00:12:45,766 --> 00:12:47,849
when he tackles a project,
he's known for unhinging
334
00:12:47,851 --> 00:12:50,268
his whole jaw and trying
to swallow it whole.
335
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:53,104
We'll check it out first,
see if it's rotten,
336
00:12:53,106 --> 00:12:54,773
and then we'll see
about pulling it apart,
337
00:12:54,775 --> 00:12:55,899
and cutting it apart,
stacking it up,
338
00:12:55,901 --> 00:12:57,734
and seeing what we can get.
339
00:12:59,362 --> 00:13:01,654
Whenever you're finished
with your spam.
340
00:13:01,656 --> 00:13:03,740
[intense music playing]
341
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:05,675
[narrator] Coming up...
342
00:13:05,677 --> 00:13:08,119
That thing is probably
gonna get somebody hurt.
343
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:10,580
[Gabe] Surprisingly,
Bam is skeptical.
344
00:13:10,582 --> 00:13:11,706
I can't wait
to prove him wrong.
345
00:13:11,783 --> 00:13:13,416
Yeah, this is cool.
346
00:13:13,418 --> 00:13:15,251
[Bam Bam] No, this is insane.
347
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:16,711
[Gabe] Whoo!
348
00:13:19,049 --> 00:13:20,840
[country music playing]
349
00:13:20,917 --> 00:13:22,217
[Bam Bam] Is this the place?
350
00:13:22,293 --> 00:13:24,135
[Gabe] Yeah. This is it.
351
00:13:24,212 --> 00:13:27,388
You can see pieces of it
up there already.
352
00:13:27,390 --> 00:13:28,473
[Bam Bam] Lead the way.
353
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:30,725
[narrator]
While half the wolf pack
354
00:13:30,727 --> 00:13:33,269
prepped for a delayed
Alaska trip,
355
00:13:33,271 --> 00:13:36,648
brothers Bam and Gabe
begin their lumber salvage
356
00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:38,525
10 miles down mountain,
357
00:13:38,527 --> 00:13:40,652
hoping to acquire materials
358
00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:43,029
for Gabe's future home.
359
00:13:43,031 --> 00:13:44,280
[Bam Bam] Well,
just step around this thing.
360
00:13:44,282 --> 00:13:46,032
It's a long way down.
361
00:13:46,034 --> 00:13:47,700
The possibility of finding,
you know,
362
00:13:47,702 --> 00:13:49,410
good lumber that we can start
363
00:13:49,487 --> 00:13:51,496
building my house with
is really exciting.
364
00:13:51,573 --> 00:13:53,456
It's been a long time comin
365
00:13:53,458 --> 00:13:55,124
and that's one of our main
fights right now,
366
00:13:55,210 --> 00:13:56,251
is just the lumber for it.
367
00:13:56,253 --> 00:13:57,710
So, who knows?
368
00:13:57,712 --> 00:14:00,046
We may have just stumbled
onto a gold mine of lumber.
369
00:14:01,091 --> 00:14:03,049
It's all this here.
370
00:14:03,802 --> 00:14:05,844
And it looks like
it goes on for quite a ways.
371
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:08,596
I can tell you I'm already
seeing good wood.
372
00:14:08,598 --> 00:14:10,390
[Bam Bam] Well I can tell you
I'm already not.
373
00:14:10,466 --> 00:14:12,058
[Gabe] What do you mean?
Look at these.
374
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:13,726
I like that.
I mean, do you realize
375
00:14:13,803 --> 00:14:15,562
what you're gonna pay for that
in a store?
376
00:14:15,564 --> 00:14:19,023
I think there's some good
usability in here.
377
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:21,109
I think trying to tackle
that thing
378
00:14:21,185 --> 00:14:23,027
is probably gonna get
somebody hurt.
379
00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:25,613
I'm hearing there is a chance
it'll pay off.
380
00:14:26,575 --> 00:14:28,283
Surprisingly,
Bam is skeptical.
381
00:14:28,285 --> 00:14:29,993
That's actually
not a surprise.
382
00:14:30,036 --> 00:14:32,912
You know, he's thinking abou
all the possibilities.
383
00:14:32,914 --> 00:14:33,779
That's why I brought him,
you know.
384
00:14:33,781 --> 00:14:35,114
He's got a mind for this thing
385
00:14:35,116 --> 00:14:36,916
and he's kind of
being the voice of reason.
386
00:14:36,918 --> 00:14:38,543
And I hope he keeps
that approach,
387
00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:40,628
but I can't wait
to prove him wrong.
388
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:43,548
Yeah, this is cool.
389
00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:44,674
[Bam Bam] No, this is insane.
390
00:14:44,676 --> 00:14:46,384
Whoo!
391
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:48,344
[Bam Bam] Realistically,
I don't have the time
392
00:14:48,346 --> 00:14:50,221
to take you to the hospital,
so don't get hurt.
393
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:52,307
[Gabe] It doesn't look
that bad from up here.
394
00:14:52,309 --> 00:14:53,808
[Bam Bam] You're gonna become
more and more unstable
395
00:14:53,885 --> 00:14:55,894
as you start pulling
pieces off, too.
396
00:14:55,970 --> 00:14:58,771
It's a little rickety,
but it feels all right.
397
00:14:58,848 --> 00:15:00,857
I mean, I really think
it's a bad idea.
398
00:15:00,892 --> 00:15:02,817
[Gabe] Let me see
if I can pry one off.
399
00:15:04,029 --> 00:15:05,570
[Bam Bam] I don't wanna
disappoint Gabey.
400
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:07,530
I was really excited
that there might be some
401
00:15:07,532 --> 00:15:09,657
usable lumber up here,
and there still could be.
402
00:15:09,659 --> 00:15:11,701
Dude, dude.
403
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:14,329
That board you're stepping on
is not stable.
404
00:15:15,123 --> 00:15:17,415
My concern is that
it's very old.
405
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:18,875
It's very precarious.
406
00:15:18,877 --> 00:15:20,293
There's no telling
which boards
407
00:15:20,295 --> 00:15:22,003
are rotten
and which ones aren't.
408
00:15:22,005 --> 00:15:23,796
There's gonna be
more put into it
409
00:15:23,873 --> 00:15:24,964
than we get out of it.
410
00:15:26,301 --> 00:15:28,009
Tell me that's not
a good board.
411
00:15:28,086 --> 00:15:30,345
Sure. That might be
an okay piece of board,
412
00:15:30,347 --> 00:15:33,014
but I don't think it's worth
the time and energy.
413
00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:38,227
Oh, yeah?
414
00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:42,565
My efforts can be better
used elsewhere, man.
415
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:43,816
For me, it's just...
It's hard to see
416
00:15:43,818 --> 00:15:46,903
all of this wood go to waste.
417
00:15:46,905 --> 00:15:49,989
Well, I made a mistake getting
Bam to come look at the job.
418
00:15:49,991 --> 00:15:51,574
I should have roped him
into it first.
419
00:15:51,576 --> 00:15:54,619
He took one look at it
and he's, like, pass.
420
00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:57,121
I'm like what? Pass?
421
00:15:57,999 --> 00:15:59,540
All this lumber?
422
00:15:59,542 --> 00:16:01,918
All right. Well, I'm gonna
take a sample board with me
423
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,170
to show anybody who, you know,
424
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:07,465
somebody less intelligent
and more ambitious.
425
00:16:07,542 --> 00:16:09,592
You know, there's risk
to every reward.
426
00:16:09,594 --> 00:16:11,761
I definitely think that
this wood is worth salvaging
427
00:16:11,763 --> 00:16:13,388
Even if I'm a man down,
428
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:15,598
I still think there's usable
material here.
429
00:16:16,893 --> 00:16:18,685
[Bam Bam] I don't see anybody
that doesn't have
430
00:16:18,687 --> 00:16:20,353
-massive stress cracks.
-[Gabe] We're gonna have
431
00:16:20,355 --> 00:16:22,522
some cracks in them.
432
00:16:24,943 --> 00:16:26,776
[Bear] I'm gonna put some
down in the middle.
433
00:16:26,778 --> 00:16:29,112
Right now, I just need to put
a couple of these down,
434
00:16:29,114 --> 00:16:31,447
get those, put them in,
cut them off.
435
00:16:31,449 --> 00:16:32,573
I'm gonna get
these boards laid.
436
00:16:32,575 --> 00:16:33,866
I'll need you to hold one end.
437
00:16:33,943 --> 00:16:37,370
Babe, like one task at a time.
438
00:16:37,372 --> 00:16:39,163
[Bear] Okay.
439
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:41,207
Right now, we're trying
to get a tent up.
440
00:16:41,209 --> 00:16:43,084
We wanna keep it
as sealed as possible.
441
00:16:43,086 --> 00:16:44,961
And in order to do that,
we need a floor.
442
00:16:45,005 --> 00:16:47,338
So to build the floor,
we need a foundation.
443
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,549
You just tell me
what you need me to do.
444
00:16:49,625 --> 00:16:51,426
Stand there and look pretty.
No. Just joking.
445
00:16:51,461 --> 00:16:53,052
I'm gonna need you to hold
the boards, okay?
446
00:16:53,129 --> 00:16:55,638
If you don't mind holding that
as steady as you can.
447
00:16:55,682 --> 00:16:57,223
Well, some of my
youngest memories
448
00:16:57,225 --> 00:16:59,809
are actually of dad
building our houses,
449
00:16:59,811 --> 00:17:02,020
and he would literally
build them from the ground up.
450
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:04,522
He would dig the holes,
cut the trees,
451
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:06,524
put the pilings in,
build the roof.
452
00:17:06,601 --> 00:17:08,359
Dad would literally
just do everything.
453
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:09,444
And so I'm trying
to do the same.
454
00:17:09,446 --> 00:17:10,753
And that just leaves me
455
00:17:10,755 --> 00:17:13,072
with some really big
shoes to fill.
456
00:17:13,149 --> 00:17:15,033
Uh, I guess you could say
I feel the pressure
457
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:16,292
a little bit
of trying to do it.
458
00:17:16,294 --> 00:17:18,202
I really wish
I paid closer attention.
459
00:17:19,748 --> 00:17:22,582
I literally saw my dad
practically by himself
460
00:17:22,658 --> 00:17:24,459
build multiple houses
461
00:17:24,535 --> 00:17:26,377
and I can barely
put in a floor.
462
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:29,213
No, you're putting in a floor.
Look.
463
00:17:29,290 --> 00:17:30,673
[Bear] Yeah. I said barely...
[chuckles]
464
00:17:30,717 --> 00:17:32,425
It is working so far though.
465
00:17:32,502 --> 00:17:35,219
[tool grinding]
466
00:17:35,221 --> 00:17:38,431
[dramatic music playing]
467
00:17:40,101 --> 00:17:41,559
[Raiven] Okay.
I think I did it.
468
00:17:42,687 --> 00:17:44,437
To be honest,
I didn't think that Raiven
469
00:17:44,439 --> 00:17:46,397
could be any more beautiful.
470
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:51,069
But when I saw her
holding that drill,
471
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:52,904
holding those boards...
472
00:17:54,115 --> 00:17:55,990
she takes my breath away.
473
00:17:56,067 --> 00:17:58,242
She is one beautiful lady.
474
00:17:59,496 --> 00:18:01,329
Yeah. I think, really,
the closest
475
00:18:01,331 --> 00:18:02,872
I've ever used tools for
476
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:05,166
is like putting up
a curtain rod.
477
00:18:05,168 --> 00:18:07,502
It's important for me to ge
out there and do my part.
478
00:18:07,504 --> 00:18:11,255
You know, the goal is to
be able to do 50/50 up there.
479
00:18:11,257 --> 00:18:13,257
So this is just
kind of the beginning
480
00:18:13,334 --> 00:18:14,425
of learning how to do that.
481
00:18:14,844 --> 00:18:16,594
No. No, no.
482
00:18:16,671 --> 00:18:18,805
[tool grinding]
483
00:18:18,807 --> 00:18:20,673
[Bear] You sound
like a pro, baby.
484
00:18:20,675 --> 00:18:21,974
-Don't you dare put your...
-You sure you've never
done this before?
485
00:18:21,976 --> 00:18:23,601
finger by the screwdriver.
486
00:18:25,814 --> 00:18:27,730
[Bear] Yeah.
That looks better than mine.
487
00:18:32,487 --> 00:18:34,320
[Rain] Here's your pillow.
488
00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:37,406
I got you. Put in weight.
489
00:18:37,408 --> 00:18:38,440
Yeah.
490
00:18:39,494 --> 00:18:40,910
-[Snowbird] It smells.
-What?
491
00:18:40,912 --> 00:18:42,411
[Snowbird] That's what.
492
00:18:42,413 --> 00:18:43,913
-Ugh.
-[Snowbird] That's okay.
493
00:18:43,915 --> 00:18:46,124
I'm just gonna put it
on your feet.
494
00:18:46,159 --> 00:18:48,000
Bird and I
are each other's rocks.
495
00:18:48,002 --> 00:18:50,461
When one of us is down,
the other and has to step up
496
00:18:50,463 --> 00:18:52,922
and be strong
and take care of them,
497
00:18:52,966 --> 00:18:55,133
but I've never actually
done it before.
498
00:18:55,209 --> 00:18:56,884
What's happening right now?
What are you doing?
499
00:18:56,961 --> 00:18:59,470
-What is that?
-I'm giving you fruit juice.
500
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:00,763
-Okay.
-It's just not in a cup
501
00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:03,349
because you asked for water.
502
00:19:03,426 --> 00:19:06,602
You know, Bird has always been
the one to take care of me.
503
00:19:06,637 --> 00:19:09,105
So this is definitely
new to me.
504
00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:13,734
It's gonna work like that.
505
00:19:13,736 --> 00:19:14,944
I'm choking.
506
00:19:14,946 --> 00:19:16,362
[Rain]
Well, you need to sit up.
507
00:19:16,364 --> 00:19:19,824
One, two, three.
508
00:19:21,911 --> 00:19:23,177
Let go.
509
00:19:23,179 --> 00:19:24,537
And quit trying to do it
yourself, Bird.
510
00:19:24,614 --> 00:19:26,080
I can do it. I'll use my arms.
511
00:19:26,082 --> 00:19:28,124
[Rain] No, you can't.
512
00:19:28,126 --> 00:19:30,334
You shouldn't be moving
yourself back like that.
513
00:19:30,336 --> 00:19:32,461
It really hurts.
514
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:34,422
You have... You have
to listen to me
515
00:19:34,424 --> 00:19:36,424
and you have to let me
take care of you.
516
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:38,301
Look at me.
517
00:19:39,470 --> 00:19:42,138
I know you're used to always
doing everything
518
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:44,432
and you're used to always
being the one in charge,
519
00:19:44,434 --> 00:19:47,226
but you can't be
right now, Bird.
520
00:19:47,228 --> 00:19:50,188
[Snowbird] It is very hard
to have to rely on Rain.
521
00:19:50,190 --> 00:19:52,481
If I had to rely on anybody,
I'm glad it's her.
522
00:19:52,483 --> 00:19:54,650
But I'm her big sister.
523
00:19:54,652 --> 00:19:56,569
You know, I've always
taken care of her
524
00:19:56,571 --> 00:19:58,529
since the day she was born.
525
00:20:00,158 --> 00:20:03,201
Do you want to see
the sandwich I made you?
526
00:20:03,277 --> 00:20:05,828
-It's a heart.
-Oh, it's shaped like a heart.
527
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:08,372
Oh, wait.
There's Miracle Whip?
528
00:20:08,374 --> 00:20:10,291
-[Rain] Yeah.
-Hmm.
529
00:20:11,002 --> 00:20:12,543
It doesn't hurt when I eat it.
530
00:20:12,545 --> 00:20:15,296
Well, it's hard
to hand that torch to her
531
00:20:15,298 --> 00:20:16,881
and be like, "You have
to take care of me now.
532
00:20:16,883 --> 00:20:18,466
I cannot help you."
533
00:20:18,542 --> 00:20:20,343
Uh, and that hurts, too.
534
00:20:20,345 --> 00:20:22,845
And so that's one
of the hardest parts.
535
00:20:22,889 --> 00:20:25,890
All right. I do have to give
you an A-plus on the sandwich,
536
00:20:25,967 --> 00:20:27,450
because there's so much
Miracle Whip,
537
00:20:27,452 --> 00:20:30,019
it's like oozing out,
and that's just how I like it.
538
00:20:30,021 --> 00:20:31,854
Extra cheese, extra milk whip.
539
00:20:31,856 --> 00:20:35,024
Mmm-hmm. So good.
540
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:37,526
[Rain] This is gonna be
rough for her.
541
00:20:37,528 --> 00:20:39,487
And in my head, I'm thinking,
542
00:20:39,489 --> 00:20:42,073
"How's Bird
gonna go to Alaska?"
543
00:20:42,075 --> 00:20:44,784
But, uh, if it's
one thing I know,
544
00:20:44,786 --> 00:20:46,577
Bird's never gonna quit.
545
00:20:46,579 --> 00:20:48,913
She's literally the toughest
person that I've ever met.
546
00:20:53,419 --> 00:20:56,045
[tense music playing]
547
00:20:56,089 --> 00:20:57,338
[Bam Bam] Are we close?
548
00:20:57,415 --> 00:20:59,257
It's not much further.
549
00:20:59,333 --> 00:21:01,008
All right. That's it.
550
00:21:01,010 --> 00:21:02,843
Ugh. Oh, that's it, eh?
551
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,804
Your mission,
should you choose
552
00:21:04,806 --> 00:21:07,181
to accept it,
is to dismantle this thing.
553
00:21:07,183 --> 00:21:08,266
Did you bring any rope?
554
00:21:08,268 --> 00:21:10,643
No.
555
00:21:10,645 --> 00:21:13,020
[narrator]
Miles from their ranch,
556
00:21:13,022 --> 00:21:15,231
Gabe remains determined
557
00:21:15,233 --> 00:21:18,985
to salvage lumber from
a 100-year-old flume site.
558
00:21:18,987 --> 00:21:20,611
I wondered why Bam
559
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:22,738
was peeling out of that.
560
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:24,573
Now I know.
561
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:26,784
After Bam
backing out of the deal
562
00:21:26,786 --> 00:21:29,036
of a salvage job,
I was definitely glad
563
00:21:29,038 --> 00:21:30,830
that Bear is, like,
I'll do it, you know?
564
00:21:30,832 --> 00:21:32,707
I'll come take a look at it.
565
00:21:32,709 --> 00:21:35,042
For me, this is an impossibl
to pass this up.
566
00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:37,336
I can't pass
this opportunity.
567
00:21:37,413 --> 00:21:38,921
So, you come around the corner
568
00:21:38,923 --> 00:21:41,340
and there's like a ton
of lumber for free,
569
00:21:41,342 --> 00:21:43,801
it's kind of
an easy decision.
570
00:21:43,878 --> 00:21:45,511
You know, it's one
of the biggest things
571
00:21:45,588 --> 00:21:47,096
about living in the bush.
572
00:21:47,098 --> 00:21:48,889
That's the first
lesson you learn.
573
00:21:48,891 --> 00:21:51,017
Don't waste anything.
574
00:21:51,019 --> 00:21:53,811
I'm thinking let's just take
a few boards off.
575
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:56,147
Get enough
for a load stacked up,
576
00:21:56,223 --> 00:21:57,481
-the ones on the ground.
-The good ones...
577
00:21:57,483 --> 00:21:58,607
-No.
-are these here.
578
00:21:58,651 --> 00:21:59,567
We're taking this apart.
579
00:21:59,569 --> 00:22:00,609
-That's--
-The whole thing.
580
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:02,111
That's the job, okay?
581
00:22:03,614 --> 00:22:05,323
Oh, first glance at this whole
582
00:22:05,325 --> 00:22:07,825
wooden menagerie
put up in the walls,
583
00:22:07,902 --> 00:22:08,826
I knew immediately
when I saw it
584
00:22:08,828 --> 00:22:10,786
why Bam didn't wanna do it.
585
00:22:10,821 --> 00:22:13,456
Destruction and heights
are my two favorite things.
586
00:22:13,499 --> 00:22:15,416
So, I am the perfect person
for this job.
587
00:22:15,793 --> 00:22:18,336
Batter up. [grunts]
588
00:22:18,338 --> 00:22:20,463
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
589
00:22:20,465 --> 00:22:22,048
Or don't.
590
00:22:22,050 --> 00:22:23,758
-Just drop...
-Just it.
591
00:22:23,834 --> 00:22:25,468
I'm about
seven or so minutes.
592
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:26,677
Watch your footing.
593
00:22:26,754 --> 00:22:29,597
Being high up is just fun.
594
00:22:29,673 --> 00:22:32,183
It lets you know
you're alive.
595
00:22:32,185 --> 00:22:34,393
The air smells better.
It's crisper, it's cleaner.
596
00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:36,604
[Gabe] You have
any other good ones?
597
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,439
[Bear] Uh, yeah.
Two right here.
598
00:22:38,441 --> 00:22:39,857
Watch out, watch out.
Watch out, watch out. Ah.
599
00:22:39,934 --> 00:22:41,817
Next, bro.
600
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:44,028
Any small slip,
it's just a rush.
601
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:46,530
It's the true rush
of living is when you're close
602
00:22:46,532 --> 00:22:48,949
to dying
or something like that.
603
00:22:48,951 --> 00:22:50,201
One, two, three.
604
00:22:50,203 --> 00:22:51,869
Watch your eyes.
605
00:22:51,871 --> 00:22:53,662
That one's not gonna work.
It's split.
606
00:22:53,664 --> 00:22:55,164
-[Gabe] Yeah.
-Bye-bye.
607
00:22:55,166 --> 00:22:56,499
Just throw it off that end.
608
00:22:56,542 --> 00:22:58,042
[Bear] Oh,
every board we take off,
609
00:22:58,044 --> 00:22:59,835
the looser this thing becomes.
610
00:23:01,798 --> 00:23:04,256
The whole thing's starting
to wobble a little bit.
611
00:23:04,333 --> 00:23:06,425
I'm surprised
it's standing up right now.
612
00:23:08,012 --> 00:23:09,428
We're just gambling
at this point
613
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:11,222
that this thing will hold us
614
00:23:11,224 --> 00:23:13,391
as we dismantle it
on top of it.
615
00:23:13,467 --> 00:23:14,558
Don't fall.
616
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,893
Whoo!
617
00:23:15,970 --> 00:23:17,103
All right.
618
00:23:17,105 --> 00:23:18,479
I think that's a pretty good.
619
00:23:18,481 --> 00:23:20,022
Flip. Yo. Ooh. Shh.
620
00:23:20,024 --> 00:23:21,524
Watch yourself, man.
621
00:23:21,526 --> 00:23:23,359
How do you wanna
get them out of here?
622
00:23:23,361 --> 00:23:24,726
Haul them out.
623
00:23:24,728 --> 00:23:26,529
We might need to come up
with something else.
624
00:23:26,572 --> 00:23:29,824
[rock music playing]
625
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,868
[Rhain Alisha] Okay.
So after this fence,
626
00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:34,787
I got to go
and outrun the horses.
627
00:23:34,864 --> 00:23:37,039
Do the horses, do the water,
feed the puppies,
628
00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:38,833
the parakeets,
then the ferrets,
629
00:23:38,909 --> 00:23:40,251
then the fish.
630
00:23:40,327 --> 00:23:41,502
Don't forget the chickens.
631
00:23:41,579 --> 00:23:44,130
[chicken clucks]
632
00:23:44,132 --> 00:23:47,216
[Noah] So, Bird hasn't
fully recovered yet.
633
00:23:47,218 --> 00:23:49,218
If she's not ready
to go by the time we are,
634
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:51,929
then we're just
gonna have to go.
635
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:53,889
With all the new life
on our piece of property
636
00:23:53,891 --> 00:23:55,349
here in Washington,
637
00:23:55,351 --> 00:23:57,059
it's kind of all hands
on deck.
638
00:23:57,061 --> 00:23:59,228
We were expecting to be back
from Alaska by now,
639
00:23:59,230 --> 00:24:01,522
but things got delayed.
640
00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:03,441
[narrator]
In the past 10 days,
641
00:24:03,443 --> 00:24:05,359
Noah and Rhain Alisha
642
00:24:05,361 --> 00:24:07,153
have welcomed a baby horse
643
00:24:07,155 --> 00:24:09,572
and a surprise litter
of puppies,
644
00:24:09,574 --> 00:24:11,407
adding new responsibilities
645
00:24:11,409 --> 00:24:14,869
days before their departure
to Alaska.
646
00:24:14,871 --> 00:24:18,164
[Rhain Alisha]
So I've been thinking...
647
00:24:18,166 --> 00:24:19,498
[Noah] What?
648
00:24:19,575 --> 00:24:21,959
[Rhain Alisha] I think
there's too much to do.
649
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:23,711
[Noah] I know. That's why
we're getting it all done.
650
00:24:23,713 --> 00:24:27,840
[Rhain Alisha]
The puppies alone is a chore.
651
00:24:27,842 --> 00:24:29,717
We have
all these other chores,
652
00:24:29,719 --> 00:24:30,968
adding that one
653
00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:33,053
in the last days
before we leave,
654
00:24:34,682 --> 00:24:38,267
I just think
that I shouldn't go to Alaska.
655
00:24:38,269 --> 00:24:40,644
[tense music playing]
656
00:24:40,721 --> 00:24:45,524
The thought to not go
to Alaska has hit me a lot.
657
00:24:45,526 --> 00:24:48,110
I was ready to go
658
00:24:48,112 --> 00:24:50,779
right before poor Bird
got sick,
659
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:54,658
and just more things
kept popping up.
660
00:24:54,693 --> 00:24:55,826
I came down
to the hard decision
661
00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:58,329
that I can't... I can't go.
662
00:25:01,083 --> 00:25:04,877
I think it'd be better
if I held down the fort here.
663
00:25:04,879 --> 00:25:06,921
[sighs]
664
00:25:06,956 --> 00:25:09,381
The only thing
that would make it easier
665
00:25:09,383 --> 00:25:11,091
is if you take Eli.
666
00:25:13,054 --> 00:25:15,304
If I can take
that workload off of me,
667
00:25:15,348 --> 00:25:17,473
I can work during nap time.
668
00:25:17,475 --> 00:25:21,185
But then you're going to miss
his first trip to Alaska.
669
00:25:21,187 --> 00:25:22,645
[Rhain Alisha] I know that.
670
00:25:22,688 --> 00:25:25,606
But tell me
how I can leave the puppies.
671
00:25:28,611 --> 00:25:31,570
[Noah] First, Birdy
has medical stuff going on,
672
00:25:31,572 --> 00:25:33,948
and might not be able
to go to Alaska.
673
00:25:33,950 --> 00:25:36,575
And now, my wife
won't be going to Alaska.
674
00:25:36,577 --> 00:25:39,411
It's, like, it's, like,
we're dropping like flies.
675
00:25:39,488 --> 00:25:41,455
The main reason
I was looking forward
676
00:25:41,532 --> 00:25:43,415
to this trip was because
677
00:25:43,417 --> 00:25:44,959
it was going
to be with my wife.
678
00:25:44,961 --> 00:25:47,878
We had
this grand adventure planned.
679
00:25:47,913 --> 00:25:50,130
Now, if I'm going alone,
it just kind of makes it
680
00:25:50,132 --> 00:25:52,675
to where it's just a mission,
not a journey.
681
00:25:52,677 --> 00:25:54,343
What...
So I'm supposed to just
682
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:57,555
go back and enjoy myself
looking at properties,
683
00:25:57,557 --> 00:26:00,182
and trying to pick a home
for us up there?
684
00:26:00,184 --> 00:26:01,809
-Yes.
-Without you?
685
00:26:01,811 --> 00:26:04,853
Honey, you know what I like.
686
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:07,398
[rock music playing]
687
00:26:12,488 --> 00:26:14,863
[Raiven] North,
what are you doing?
688
00:26:14,865 --> 00:26:17,533
What you laying down
in there for?
689
00:26:17,535 --> 00:26:19,493
I don't like
when horses lay down.
690
00:26:22,290 --> 00:26:23,747
There you go.
691
00:26:25,126 --> 00:26:27,960
I'm pretty sure
there's a bear over there.
692
00:26:29,589 --> 00:26:31,880
That's not good.
693
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:33,382
Babe?
694
00:26:33,384 --> 00:26:35,509
I'm not quite sure
where he is.
695
00:26:37,305 --> 00:26:39,263
Babe, there's a bear
696
00:26:39,265 --> 00:26:41,307
I'm pretty sure
by the ostrich pen.
697
00:26:41,309 --> 00:26:43,517
A bear?
698
00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:44,768
Kind of by the feed
over there.
699
00:26:44,845 --> 00:26:45,811
-I don't know--
-Over that way?
700
00:26:45,813 --> 00:26:46,937
[Raiven] Yeah.
701
00:26:47,014 --> 00:26:49,398
You wanna
just stay close to the camp.
702
00:26:49,442 --> 00:26:50,941
If it's a baby,
there could be a mother.
703
00:26:50,943 --> 00:26:52,860
Mmm-hmm.
704
00:26:52,936 --> 00:26:55,029
The little bear cub isn't
really the dangerous one.
705
00:26:55,031 --> 00:26:56,488
I mean, you don't want them
chewing on your leg,
706
00:26:56,490 --> 00:26:57,865
but they're not
really dangerous.
707
00:26:57,941 --> 00:26:59,199
But if there is a cub
708
00:26:59,276 --> 00:27:01,118
that hasn't already left
its mother,
709
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:03,037
that means that
there is a mother bear nearby.
710
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:05,331
Get out of here.
711
00:27:05,333 --> 00:27:06,999
Stop.
712
00:27:07,076 --> 00:27:08,459
Get out of here.
713
00:27:08,461 --> 00:27:10,502
Stop.
714
00:27:10,504 --> 00:27:12,588
That's one thing that
you don't wanna mess with.
715
00:27:12,590 --> 00:27:14,340
That's a mother
of any species,
716
00:27:14,342 --> 00:27:16,133
much less a mother bear.
717
00:27:18,012 --> 00:27:19,345
Keep going.
718
00:27:19,347 --> 00:27:20,721
Get out of here.
719
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:23,515
Go.
720
00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:27,269
Now look at him run.
721
00:27:27,313 --> 00:27:29,271
Okay, Mr. Ostrich.
722
00:27:29,273 --> 00:27:30,898
Winter just let out
so the bears
723
00:27:30,974 --> 00:27:33,442
are all coming down,
and stretching, and yawning.
724
00:27:33,444 --> 00:27:35,069
Bears are always more hungr
725
00:27:35,071 --> 00:27:37,154
when they first wake up
from hibernation.
726
00:27:37,156 --> 00:27:38,864
You wanna just stay vigilant
basically,
727
00:27:38,866 --> 00:27:40,065
keep your eye out for them
728
00:27:40,067 --> 00:27:41,400
and scare them off
if you see them.
729
00:27:41,402 --> 00:27:43,077
They're definitely hungry,
and looking for any source
730
00:27:43,153 --> 00:27:44,703
of food that they can find.
731
00:27:44,705 --> 00:27:46,664
First, I thought
you were calling me,
732
00:27:46,666 --> 00:27:47,539
because
I heard you say "bear."
733
00:27:47,541 --> 00:27:48,791
I was, like, "What?
734
00:27:48,793 --> 00:27:50,751
I said, "Bear,
there's a bear."
735
00:27:50,786 --> 00:27:52,461
And I thought there might be
some confusion there.
736
00:27:52,463 --> 00:27:53,921
[Bear] Yeah.
Just for a second.
737
00:27:53,923 --> 00:27:56,548
Seeing a bear up mountain
738
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:59,301
is definitely
just solidifying the fact
739
00:27:59,303 --> 00:28:02,221
that we are up mountain,
and we are in the bush.
740
00:28:02,223 --> 00:28:05,474
And this is
a different lifestyle.
741
00:28:05,476 --> 00:28:07,518
Kind of seeing,
you know, a bear up there
742
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,688
is definitely just
that reminder that it is real.
743
00:28:10,690 --> 00:28:13,148
This is the reality
of our daily life
744
00:28:13,150 --> 00:28:16,068
from this point and adjusting
745
00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:19,029
to that being our normalcy.
746
00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:21,323
[Bear] We should
definitely keep our eyes out.
747
00:28:23,786 --> 00:28:25,119
[country music playing]
748
00:28:25,121 --> 00:28:26,995
-[Bear] Ready, set, go.
-[Gabe] Go.
749
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:29,373
Ah. Backwards.
750
00:28:29,450 --> 00:28:30,374
Whoo!
751
00:28:30,376 --> 00:28:31,750
Oh, missed.
752
00:28:31,752 --> 00:28:32,876
-Yes.
-[laughs]
753
00:28:32,878 --> 00:28:34,253
Okay. Back to work.
754
00:28:34,329 --> 00:28:35,963
[narrator] With the foundati
755
00:28:35,965 --> 00:28:38,215
for his new structure
in place,
756
00:28:38,217 --> 00:28:40,259
Bear calls on brother Gabe
757
00:28:40,261 --> 00:28:42,428
to assemble
and hoist the tent
758
00:28:42,430 --> 00:28:44,513
into its final position.
759
00:28:44,515 --> 00:28:46,849
Well, looks like we have
some directions right here.
760
00:28:46,851 --> 00:28:48,100
I'm saying,
if it has directions
761
00:28:48,135 --> 00:28:49,226
since we're probably
gonna need them.
762
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:52,229
Yeah, tons of directions.
763
00:28:52,264 --> 00:28:53,564
Maybe too many.
764
00:28:53,566 --> 00:28:56,316
Looks more
like the funny pages.
765
00:28:56,351 --> 00:28:58,110
Yeah, it does kind
of resemble that a little...
766
00:28:59,071 --> 00:29:01,613
Now to pay me back for helping
Gabe with that old,
767
00:29:01,615 --> 00:29:03,574
broken down flume,
I asked if he could help me
768
00:29:03,650 --> 00:29:06,160
put up this menagerie
of a tent,
769
00:29:06,162 --> 00:29:07,494
but it looks like
his instructions,
770
00:29:07,571 --> 00:29:08,746
half of it is for something
771
00:29:08,748 --> 00:29:10,456
that we don't even have
so my...
772
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:12,207
I'm not entirely sure
how to get this tent up.
773
00:29:12,209 --> 00:29:14,460
[Gabe] Come on, bring it in.
774
00:29:14,462 --> 00:29:15,461
A little more.
775
00:29:15,537 --> 00:29:17,212
Missing the third Stooge.
776
00:29:17,256 --> 00:29:18,380
[Gabe] A little more. Whoa.
Not so much.
777
00:29:18,382 --> 00:29:19,715
All right.
778
00:29:19,717 --> 00:29:21,091
Ah. I don't know how
this is gonna work.
779
00:29:21,168 --> 00:29:23,177
I think the main issue
that we're having,
780
00:29:23,179 --> 00:29:24,970
it's made to go into the dirt.
781
00:29:24,972 --> 00:29:26,722
What do you want me to do?
782
00:29:26,724 --> 00:29:29,099
Just stand there
at the moment.
783
00:29:29,101 --> 00:29:31,727
There are some
questionable stains in here.
784
00:29:31,729 --> 00:29:33,979
This specific tent
is made to be built
785
00:29:34,056 --> 00:29:37,149
into the dirt,
not on a wooden platform.
786
00:29:37,226 --> 00:29:39,234
To be honest, this tent
will work out a lot better
787
00:29:39,236 --> 00:29:40,903
if I had Noah to help,
788
00:29:40,905 --> 00:29:42,905
he'd like, take a toothpick
and a Swiss Army knife
789
00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:45,199
and shave something down
and somehow make it work.
790
00:29:45,275 --> 00:29:48,160
But Noah, he is planning
a trip for Alaska.
791
00:29:48,237 --> 00:29:50,412
So, Gabe's all I have,
and Gabe's good with muscle.
792
00:29:50,414 --> 00:29:54,458
But neither of us were
really the tent putter-uppers.
793
00:29:54,460 --> 00:29:57,836
Are we ready
to try to make it stand?
794
00:29:57,913 --> 00:30:00,130
[Bear] Let me stick
the fat pole through.
795
00:30:00,132 --> 00:30:01,924
All right, going up.
796
00:30:01,926 --> 00:30:04,384
[grunts]
797
00:30:04,386 --> 00:30:06,053
That about
the same height as yours?
798
00:30:06,129 --> 00:30:08,055
-[Gabe] I can't see you.
-[Bear] No?
799
00:30:08,057 --> 00:30:10,098
Thing weighs a ton.
800
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:12,100
Dude, in this wind,
I don't think it's gonna work.
801
00:30:12,102 --> 00:30:15,479
Also, it's like
a giant sail, man.
802
00:30:15,556 --> 00:30:17,564
I just don't think
it's gonna be safe enough
803
00:30:17,566 --> 00:30:19,566
or secure enough to have my
little boy and wife in there,
804
00:30:19,643 --> 00:30:21,235
especially we get some really,
805
00:30:21,311 --> 00:30:22,986
really strong wind
on the mountain.
806
00:30:23,063 --> 00:30:24,571
We're right
by where the windmill is.
807
00:30:24,573 --> 00:30:25,906
-Stand clear man.
-[Gabe] Hold it.
808
00:30:25,908 --> 00:30:26,990
-It's coming down.
-Hold it.
809
00:30:26,992 --> 00:30:29,368
Stand clear.
810
00:30:29,370 --> 00:30:30,494
Okay.
811
00:30:30,496 --> 00:30:32,663
Well, what do you wanna do?
812
00:30:32,739 --> 00:30:35,791
Let me look more closely
at the schematics and stuff.
813
00:30:35,835 --> 00:30:36,875
We'll have
to tackle a different way.
814
00:30:36,877 --> 00:30:38,293
[Gabe] Right.
815
00:30:39,380 --> 00:30:41,964
This tent's a giant fiasco.
816
00:30:44,677 --> 00:30:48,512
[country music playing]
817
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:52,266
[Bear] You start hauling them,
818
00:30:52,268 --> 00:30:53,225
I'm gonna rig the line.
819
00:30:53,227 --> 00:30:54,259
Okay.
820
00:30:54,261 --> 00:30:55,727
-Just watch your steps.
-Yes, sir.
821
00:30:55,729 --> 00:30:58,605
[narrator] The next morning
Gabe and Bear
822
00:30:58,607 --> 00:31:01,525
team up once again
at the flume site,
823
00:31:01,527 --> 00:31:05,237
hanging 1,000 feet in the ai
on the side of a cliff.
824
00:31:05,239 --> 00:31:08,407
The siblings have hatched
a new plan to transport
825
00:31:08,409 --> 00:31:11,493
the salvaged lumber
back to North Star Ranch.
826
00:31:11,495 --> 00:31:12,703
What do you think?
827
00:31:12,705 --> 00:31:14,663
From this tree
down to that one?
828
00:31:14,665 --> 00:31:16,373
-I think so.
-Think we have enough rope?
829
00:31:16,450 --> 00:31:18,166
Maybe.
830
00:31:18,168 --> 00:31:20,502
You know, my first idea
to get the boards down
831
00:31:20,546 --> 00:31:21,962
was just pick them up
and haul them down.
832
00:31:21,964 --> 00:31:24,673
But it is quite a way.
It's pretty steep.
833
00:31:24,717 --> 00:31:26,800
And then Bear came up
with a really cool idea.
834
00:31:26,877 --> 00:31:28,427
He's thinking
maybe a zip line.
835
00:31:28,503 --> 00:31:29,778
Careful.
836
00:31:29,780 --> 00:31:32,222
Bear is gonna
anchor it down on one side.
837
00:31:32,299 --> 00:31:34,391
Run the line down
to the other side
838
00:31:34,393 --> 00:31:36,059
in between two trees.
839
00:31:36,094 --> 00:31:37,377
And then hopefully
we'll be able to attach
840
00:31:37,379 --> 00:31:39,605
the boards onto that
and just send them on down
841
00:31:39,607 --> 00:31:41,356
just like you would
a garbage chute.
842
00:31:41,358 --> 00:31:43,525
You have enough rope?
843
00:31:43,569 --> 00:31:45,402
[Bear] Yeah, it looks like it.
844
00:31:45,404 --> 00:31:47,195
[Gabe] Just be careful.
I might start hauling boards.
845
00:31:47,239 --> 00:31:48,572
[Bear] Okay.
You watch your step.
846
00:31:48,649 --> 00:31:52,951
[Gabe grunts]
847
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,539
We're a little
precarious up here.
848
00:31:57,541 --> 00:31:58,707
I'm looking down,
849
00:31:58,709 --> 00:31:59,917
and there's
a pretty good drop.
850
00:31:59,993 --> 00:32:01,752
I'll try to get
a little bit of a swoop.
851
00:32:01,828 --> 00:32:04,171
-Ah.
-So give me a test board.
852
00:32:04,173 --> 00:32:06,006
We are just balancing
on the edge
853
00:32:06,083 --> 00:32:08,175
of this stacked up old lumber
854
00:32:08,177 --> 00:32:11,303
on the very tip of the cliff.
855
00:32:11,305 --> 00:32:13,013
Stay strong, little tree.
856
00:32:13,090 --> 00:32:16,183
Reaching up above our heads
with the giant board,
857
00:32:16,185 --> 00:32:18,894
trying to get it clipped on
and it's not easy.
858
00:32:18,896 --> 00:32:20,479
But, uh, it'll be worth it
859
00:32:20,481 --> 00:32:21,897
if we can get
the zip line working.
860
00:32:21,899 --> 00:32:23,565
I'm ready. Okay, here we go.
861
00:32:23,567 --> 00:32:24,691
Awesome.
862
00:32:24,768 --> 00:32:25,734
Cool.
863
00:32:25,736 --> 00:32:27,027
Extreme.
864
00:32:28,530 --> 00:32:30,030
[Gabe] Oh.
865
00:32:30,107 --> 00:32:30,989
-We'll have to...
-I should have seen that.
866
00:32:30,991 --> 00:32:32,174
move that one out of the way.
867
00:32:32,176 --> 00:32:33,492
No, I thought
it might hit that one.
868
00:32:33,494 --> 00:32:35,911
Let me go down there
and move that branch.
869
00:32:35,955 --> 00:32:38,080
Can you reach the board?
870
00:32:38,082 --> 00:32:39,480
[grunts]
871
00:32:39,482 --> 00:32:41,458
-[Bear] Watch your head.
-[Gabe] There it goes.
872
00:32:41,535 --> 00:32:42,918
[Bear] Okay.
Get back up there.
873
00:32:42,962 --> 00:32:43,835
I'm gonna grab the lines.
874
00:32:43,912 --> 00:32:45,337
All right.
875
00:32:49,593 --> 00:32:51,343
-[Bam Bam] Hey, man.
-Hey, what you doing here?
876
00:32:51,345 --> 00:32:53,512
Bam, you came.
877
00:32:55,933 --> 00:32:57,975
I knew you couldn't stay away.
878
00:32:57,977 --> 00:32:59,559
I think most spot
we could use your help
879
00:32:59,561 --> 00:33:02,062
would just be down here,
untying these ropes.
880
00:33:02,097 --> 00:33:03,981
Well,
it's definitely a good idea
881
00:33:04,057 --> 00:33:05,565
to get the boards
down the way they're doing it.
882
00:33:05,567 --> 00:33:07,317
Of course,
there are a few adjustments
883
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:08,527
I would definitely make
884
00:33:08,603 --> 00:33:10,195
to make it
a little more efficient.
885
00:33:10,197 --> 00:33:11,697
But it is a good idea.
886
00:33:11,773 --> 00:33:13,782
And they were safe about
the way they were doing it,
887
00:33:13,784 --> 00:33:16,868
which I'm glad to see that,
that when I'm not around,
888
00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:18,286
they are actually
respecting the danger.
889
00:33:18,288 --> 00:33:20,372
All right, then,
let's hit it hard
890
00:33:20,374 --> 00:33:22,666
this last hour, and see
how many we can get done,
891
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:23,983
and then we'll all break off.
892
00:33:23,985 --> 00:33:25,318
Yeah, that works for me
if it works for you.
893
00:33:25,395 --> 00:33:27,087
This way, you don't have
to climb down every time.
894
00:33:27,089 --> 00:33:28,755
Y'all just send them down,
I'll unhook them,
895
00:33:28,832 --> 00:33:30,048
and we'll see how many
we can get down.
896
00:33:30,125 --> 00:33:31,758
[Bear] Sounds good.
897
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,677
It means
a lot to me to see Bam.
898
00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:35,637
He'd do anything
for his little brother.
899
00:33:35,639 --> 00:33:37,472
That's the gooey center
900
00:33:37,474 --> 00:33:39,307
we always talked about,
you know.
901
00:33:39,309 --> 00:33:41,727
Bam is not outwardly sweet,
but inside,
902
00:33:41,803 --> 00:33:43,979
there is a heart of gold
in there.
903
00:33:44,023 --> 00:33:46,231
All right. Send it down.
904
00:33:48,444 --> 00:33:49,693
Awesome, bro.
905
00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:52,070
And stop.
906
00:33:52,072 --> 00:33:53,655
That was nice. That was good.
907
00:33:53,699 --> 00:33:55,323
Definitely saving time.
908
00:33:55,325 --> 00:33:56,533
Get the next one ready
if you can.
909
00:33:56,610 --> 00:33:58,368
[Bear] All right.
910
00:33:58,370 --> 00:34:00,370
Well, even though
everybody has different plans
911
00:34:00,372 --> 00:34:01,747
for building their house,
912
00:34:01,823 --> 00:34:05,000
we're still all
really doing the same dream.
913
00:34:05,002 --> 00:34:06,501
[Gabe] Here it comes.
914
00:34:06,503 --> 00:34:08,295
[Bam Bam]
All right, send it down.
915
00:34:08,371 --> 00:34:09,963
Nice and easy.
916
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:11,715
[Bear] Whoo!
917
00:34:11,792 --> 00:34:13,633
The same dream
that my old man had,
918
00:34:13,635 --> 00:34:15,052
we're just carrying that on
919
00:34:15,054 --> 00:34:16,261
to build up
the North Star Ranch
920
00:34:16,338 --> 00:34:18,096
to be a completely
self-sustainable ranch,
921
00:34:18,098 --> 00:34:20,682
and a home for generations
of Browns to come.
922
00:34:20,726 --> 00:34:22,642
[Gabe] This was all Bear.
923
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,895
-[Bam Bam] Yeah?
-[Gabe] Yeah.
924
00:34:24,971 --> 00:34:27,147
Yeah. Just don't let him
ride it down.
925
00:34:27,224 --> 00:34:30,067
[Gabe laughs]
926
00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:31,610
[narrator] Coming up.
927
00:34:31,612 --> 00:34:33,528
[Snowbird] If you think
it's okay to even go,
928
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:35,322
like, should I just
call it off?
929
00:34:35,324 --> 00:34:37,074
So with my current condition
930
00:34:37,076 --> 00:34:38,742
going back to Alaska,
it has to kind of
931
00:34:38,819 --> 00:34:40,243
be a decision that I make now.
932
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,060
[tense music playing]
933
00:34:43,499 --> 00:34:44,539
[country music playing]
934
00:34:44,541 --> 00:34:46,458
[Noah] Hey, kids.
935
00:34:46,460 --> 00:34:48,168
-[horse neighs]
-Really?
936
00:34:48,245 --> 00:34:51,213
Really? You wanna play?
937
00:34:51,256 --> 00:34:53,215
We have a new little filly
named Peyton.
938
00:34:53,217 --> 00:34:57,094
Right now,
I'm trying to desensitize her,
939
00:34:57,096 --> 00:34:59,012
to halter and lead.
940
00:34:59,014 --> 00:35:00,764
Oh, does that feel good?
941
00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:02,224
Yeah, it does.
942
00:35:02,226 --> 00:35:03,809
Right there,
is that the spot?
943
00:35:04,853 --> 00:35:07,270
It helps, though,
that I don't have
944
00:35:07,272 --> 00:35:10,732
the chemicals coming off of me
that are fear.
945
00:35:10,734 --> 00:35:13,360
Horses understand that.
946
00:35:13,436 --> 00:35:16,071
It looks very beautiful
on you.
947
00:35:16,073 --> 00:35:17,364
So you tell her.
948
00:35:17,366 --> 00:35:18,907
So far,
I've been able to get it
949
00:35:18,909 --> 00:35:21,451
around her nose
without her freaking out.
950
00:35:21,453 --> 00:35:23,578
So I'm just, like,
slowly edging
951
00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:25,122
further and further
to getting the halter on,
952
00:35:25,124 --> 00:35:26,623
not trying to push it down,
953
00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:28,041
don't want her freak out
or anything.
954
00:35:28,043 --> 00:35:29,626
That's fine.
955
00:35:29,628 --> 00:35:32,129
By tomorrow, I'll probably
have the halter on
and strapped.
956
00:35:33,173 --> 00:35:35,340
Are you coming to say goodbye?
957
00:35:35,342 --> 00:35:36,967
[chuckles] Oh, thank you.
958
00:35:36,969 --> 00:35:38,260
Kisses?
959
00:35:38,262 --> 00:35:39,027
What would my wife think?
960
00:35:41,590 --> 00:35:43,348
[tense music playing]
961
00:35:43,350 --> 00:35:46,226
[Bear] Pull it in so that
it's completely straight.
962
00:35:46,228 --> 00:35:47,435
[grunts]
963
00:35:47,479 --> 00:35:49,521
-I broke it.
-[Bear] You broke it?
964
00:35:49,598 --> 00:35:51,439
Gabe, cinch, not destroy.
965
00:35:51,441 --> 00:35:53,859
[Gabe] I'm gonna blame
the wind on that one.
966
00:35:53,894 --> 00:35:55,902
[narrator] It's been
a momentous two weeks
967
00:35:55,904 --> 00:35:58,446
for the Browns,
with brother Gabe
968
00:35:58,448 --> 00:36:02,033
successfully reclaiming
lumber for his future cabin
969
00:36:02,035 --> 00:36:05,328
and Bear continuing
to expand his home front.
970
00:36:05,330 --> 00:36:07,455
[Bear] This tent has been
killer hard to get up.
971
00:36:07,499 --> 00:36:08,915
It's like
one thing after another.
972
00:36:08,917 --> 00:36:10,208
But it feels pretty good
973
00:36:10,243 --> 00:36:11,585
to finally be having
this baby up.
974
00:36:11,587 --> 00:36:13,170
Looks good to me, man.
975
00:36:13,246 --> 00:36:14,588
It's a lot more space.
976
00:36:14,664 --> 00:36:16,923
I'm gonna call that
a job well done.
977
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,425
-I'm gonna agree with you.
-Ah.
978
00:36:18,427 --> 00:36:20,051
Whoo.
979
00:36:20,128 --> 00:36:21,845
[narrator]
And while Noah prepares
980
00:36:21,922 --> 00:36:23,805
for his upcoming
journey north,
981
00:36:23,849 --> 00:36:25,765
the time has come
for sister Bird
982
00:36:25,767 --> 00:36:28,143
to make a difficult decision
983
00:36:28,145 --> 00:36:31,563
stay in Washington
and finish her recovery,
984
00:36:31,565 --> 00:36:36,067
or risk injury
with a return to Alaska.
985
00:36:36,144 --> 00:36:39,112
[dramatic music playing]
986
00:36:39,189 --> 00:36:42,157
So with my current condition
going back to Alaska,
987
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:44,326
it has to kind of
be a decision that I make now.
988
00:36:46,330 --> 00:36:49,039
Life really hit me hard.
989
00:36:49,041 --> 00:36:50,582
I would be lying if I said
990
00:36:50,584 --> 00:36:52,667
there weren't times
that I wanted to give up.
991
00:36:52,711 --> 00:36:55,003
But, uh, honestly,
I wasn't even
992
00:36:55,005 --> 00:36:56,838
gonna postpone it
the first time.
993
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,757
But at this point,
there's no amount of pain
994
00:36:58,833 --> 00:36:59,999
that's gonna stop me,
995
00:37:00,001 --> 00:37:01,343
and make me postpone it
a second time.
996
00:37:01,345 --> 00:37:02,702
Not happening.
997
00:37:04,848 --> 00:37:07,891
I definitely think
it is worth the risk,
998
00:37:07,893 --> 00:37:09,017
even though
I'm not fully recovered.
999
00:37:09,061 --> 00:37:10,852
The truck is ready.
1000
00:37:10,854 --> 00:37:12,437
[Snowbird] I am just
about ready. Hold on.
1001
00:37:12,439 --> 00:37:15,941
One, I'm not gonna be fully
recovered for a long time.
1002
00:37:16,017 --> 00:37:17,692
And two, I need it right now
1003
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:20,237
even as much
as the physical pain is.
1004
00:37:20,313 --> 00:37:23,031
There's a lot of mental stuff
that I just need a break.
1005
00:37:23,033 --> 00:37:24,491
[Gabe] Are you excited?
1006
00:37:24,567 --> 00:37:26,243
Very. Yeah.
1007
00:37:26,245 --> 00:37:28,495
A little nervous.
A little excited.
1008
00:37:28,571 --> 00:37:30,121
What?
1009
00:37:30,198 --> 00:37:32,165
You're not
taking a watermelon.
1010
00:37:32,167 --> 00:37:33,250
I am taking a watermelon.
1011
00:37:33,252 --> 00:37:34,084
Don't you touch
my watermelon.
1012
00:37:34,086 --> 00:37:35,418
Bird.
1013
00:37:36,672 --> 00:37:38,755
I wouldn't say
that it surprised me
1014
00:37:38,832 --> 00:37:40,465
that Birdy has found
the strength to go.
1015
00:37:40,467 --> 00:37:41,883
Has she recuperated? No.
1016
00:37:41,885 --> 00:37:43,510
She should be going? No.
1017
00:37:43,512 --> 00:37:45,720
Bird wasn't
gonna let anything,
1018
00:37:45,722 --> 00:37:48,932
not even surgery, stop her
from going back to Alaska.
1019
00:37:50,811 --> 00:37:52,560
[Ami]
You all better be careful.
1020
00:37:52,646 --> 00:37:53,895
I don't need to tell you
how dangerous it is.
1021
00:37:53,939 --> 00:37:55,463
[Snowbird] No, for sure.
1022
00:37:55,465 --> 00:37:57,774
You know how I used to pick up
sticks on the beaches
1023
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:59,442
that were shaped
like guns for y'all?
1024
00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:00,735
Bring me a couple of those.
1025
00:38:00,821 --> 00:38:02,337
-Oh, okay.
-Okay.
1026
00:38:02,339 --> 00:38:04,406
And the main thing, just bring
yourselves back, you know?
1027
00:38:04,408 --> 00:38:08,034
You guys be careful out there,
and just have lots of fun.
1028
00:38:09,454 --> 00:38:12,622
[Ami] The youngest three
of my kids are leaving.
1029
00:38:12,624 --> 00:38:13,773
I don't like it.
1030
00:38:13,775 --> 00:38:14,749
I don't like
being separated from them.
1031
00:38:14,751 --> 00:38:17,127
Okay, guys.
1032
00:38:17,245 --> 00:38:18,503
[Bam Bam] All right.
Calm seas and fair weather.
1033
00:38:18,580 --> 00:38:20,422
[Ami]
Birdy is still recovering
1034
00:38:20,424 --> 00:38:23,091
from her surgery,
so I'm very glad that Raive
1035
00:38:23,135 --> 00:38:25,844
is gonna be there
to keep Bird safe.
1036
00:38:25,846 --> 00:38:27,045
-I love you.
-Okay. I love you.
1037
00:38:27,047 --> 00:38:28,596
-[Gabe] All right.
-Don't forget your letter.
1038
00:38:28,598 --> 00:38:29,931
-I will.
-[Gabe] You guys have fun.
1039
00:38:31,226 --> 00:38:32,809
I hope and I pray
1040
00:38:32,811 --> 00:38:36,646
that the kids
find what they need.
1041
00:38:36,648 --> 00:38:38,648
It may not be
what they're looking for,
1042
00:38:38,725 --> 00:38:40,191
or what they think
they'll find,
1043
00:38:40,268 --> 00:38:41,651
but what they need.
1044
00:38:41,728 --> 00:38:42,736
Godspeed.
1045
00:38:42,812 --> 00:38:44,045
-[chuckles]
-All right, dude.
1046
00:38:44,047 --> 00:38:45,739
-We'll bring
lots of rocks.
-Be safe.
1047
00:38:46,616 --> 00:38:47,657
-[Ami] I love you.
-[Gabe] More to us.
1048
00:38:47,659 --> 00:38:49,117
[all] More to us.
1049
00:38:53,123 --> 00:38:57,208
[country music playing]
1050
00:39:01,298 --> 00:39:04,841
[narrator] After traveling
1,000 miles from Washington
1051
00:39:04,843 --> 00:39:08,053
the Browns have finally
arrived in Haines,
1052
00:39:08,055 --> 00:39:10,889
the first destination
on their Alaskan journey.
1053
00:39:10,891 --> 00:39:13,016
[Snowbird] The Alaska air
smells so good.
1054
00:39:13,093 --> 00:39:15,935
It smells
just like dirt and trees.
1055
00:39:16,012 --> 00:39:17,479
There isn't anywhere
that I've ever been
1056
00:39:17,481 --> 00:39:18,646
that smells like that.
1057
00:39:21,068 --> 00:39:23,818
[country music playing]
1058
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:25,612
There's a lot that I'm looking
forward to doing
1059
00:39:25,614 --> 00:39:26,905
while we're here in Alaska.
1060
00:39:26,907 --> 00:39:29,240
We're actually here
in Haines.
1061
00:39:29,317 --> 00:39:31,326
I haven't been here
like 19 or 20 years.
1062
00:39:32,871 --> 00:39:35,038
Birdy was born
here in Haines.
1063
00:39:35,073 --> 00:39:37,123
And we spent the first
10 years of my life here.
1064
00:39:37,125 --> 00:39:40,335
When Bird and I think
of home, this is the place.
1065
00:39:41,588 --> 00:39:43,213
[Rain] I never thought
that I would be able
1066
00:39:43,215 --> 00:39:44,455
to come to Haines.
1067
00:39:44,457 --> 00:39:48,843
Getting to experience it
is just so mystical.
1068
00:39:51,223 --> 00:39:52,555
There's a lot
that I'm looking forward
1069
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:54,391
to doing
while we're here in Alaska.
1070
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:58,978
If we can actually find
a piece of property,
1071
00:39:58,980 --> 00:40:01,564
then it can turn from being
just taking a trip
1072
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:04,567
to actually being permanent
1073
00:40:04,569 --> 00:40:08,488
and being able to give
my sons what I had,
1074
00:40:08,490 --> 00:40:10,156
at least a little bit of it.
1075
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:12,242
That's just worthwhile.
1076
00:40:13,870 --> 00:40:16,204
[Snowbird] It's definitely
my goal for Alaska
1077
00:40:16,206 --> 00:40:18,456
to try and find some answers.
1078
00:40:18,458 --> 00:40:20,625
What I want
my future to hold,
1079
00:40:20,702 --> 00:40:22,752
where I want it to be.
1080
00:40:22,829 --> 00:40:24,796
If I wanna have kids ever,
1081
00:40:25,799 --> 00:40:29,843
figure out
who the future Bird is.
1082
00:40:29,919 --> 00:40:32,679
I think following mom's
and dad's old footsteps,
1083
00:40:32,681 --> 00:40:35,974
I think that will help
give me clarity.
1084
00:40:36,050 --> 00:40:39,102
[country music playing]
1085
00:40:41,857 --> 00:40:43,440
[narrator] On the next episo
1086
00:40:43,442 --> 00:40:44,941
of Alaskan Bush People.
1087
00:40:44,943 --> 00:40:47,360
[Noah] White caps
says never a good sign.
1088
00:40:47,437 --> 00:40:48,778
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Okay, we have a problem.
1089
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:50,029
Just go with it.
1090
00:40:51,158 --> 00:40:53,074
It feels so good
to be back in Alaska.
1091
00:40:53,076 --> 00:40:55,702
Honestly, you don't know
how excited I am.
1092
00:40:55,704 --> 00:40:57,996
[Noah]
I am focusing on the future
1093
00:40:58,072 --> 00:40:59,456
The future of Alaska.
1094
00:40:59,458 --> 00:41:01,291
Dang, all right, this is nice.
1095
00:41:01,367 --> 00:41:04,127
But a lot of things
have kind of gone sideways.
1096
00:41:04,129 --> 00:41:06,546
Whoo!
1097
00:41:06,548 --> 00:41:08,423
That was a howl.
1098
00:41:10,010 --> 00:41:11,676
[Bear] Right up there,
we have an old mine shaft
1099
00:41:11,678 --> 00:41:14,304
where bears have been seen
coming in and out.
1100
00:41:14,306 --> 00:41:16,598
-[bear growls]
-[Gabe] Well, go slow, slow.
1101
00:41:16,641 --> 00:41:17,932
Hold. Hold. Hold.
1102
00:41:17,934 --> 00:41:19,017
[yells]
1103
00:41:19,019 --> 00:41:20,477
In the excitement,
1104
00:41:20,479 --> 00:41:23,271
I may have overdone it
a little bit.
1105
00:41:23,273 --> 00:41:25,064
Was it a good idea
for you to take
1106
00:41:25,141 --> 00:41:27,192
the whole trip and come here?
1107
00:41:27,194 --> 00:41:27,775
