FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS,

THE BROWN FAMILY HAS RISKED EVERYTHING TO LIVE FREE.

NEXT STOP, NORTH STAR RANCH.

NOW AS THEY FIGHT TO CONQUER A MOUNTAIN...

- SLOW DOWN. - THAT'S NOT THAT BAD.

- SLOW DOWN. - WHOA. MOVE. MOVE.

- GOOD JOB! - IT'S TWISTING.

I HAD A DREAM.

HOLY DOG MESS.

OH, IT'S BIGGER NOW.

...THEY FACED THE MOST CHALLENGING SUMMER

OF THEIR LIVES.

WHAT IS HE DOING?

GET OUT OF HERE! GO!

DON'T GET NEAR MY ANIMALS.

THE RANCH WILL GROW...

LET'S FLY.

BABY, BABY, BABY!

IT'S LIKE OUR WHOLE FAMILY IS GROWING REALLY QUICK,

BUT I'M LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

I, GABRIEL, TAKE YOU, RAQUELL,

TO BE MY LAWFUL, WEDDED WIFE.

...BONDS WILL BE TESTED.

MELLOW OUT, MA'AM. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE HERE.

LEAVE.

BIRD, THERE'S A FIRE AT TONASKET COMING THIS WAY.

WHAT ARE WE DOING? ARE WE EVACUATING?

WE HAVE A GOAL IN FRONT OF US,

AND I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE HARD.

ALL WE'VE GOT TO DO IS JUST KEEP PUSHING.

- BIRD, STOP! - IT'S NOT STOPPING.

AND THE WOLF PACK WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WANT TO GO STEADY

AND BE MY GIRLFRIEND.

OH, YEAH, SPARKS ARE FLYING.

THIS IS A LIFE UNLIKE ANY OTHER.

YES!

THAT'S THE HEART RIGHT THERE,

THAT'S THE HEART OF THE RANCH, GUYS.

THESE ARE ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE.

THIS MORNING I'M JUST WORKING ON SOME LAUNDRY.

I JUST HAVE MY SCRUBBING ROCK

BECAUSE IT HAS NICE LITTLE GROOVES THAT IT CATCHES THE SOAP

AND THEN IT JUST SCRUBS THE STAINS RIGHT OFF.

TYPICALLY, DOING SOMETHING THE OLD WAY IS THE BEST WAY.

ISOLATED ATOP A 4,000-FOOT MOUNTAIN,

400 ACRES OF ROCKY SLOPES AND ABANDONED COPPER MINES

ARE BEING CONVERTED INTO A FULLY FUNCTIONING RANCH.

TECHNICALLY A WINDOW.

GET HER, GET HER.

HERE IN WASHINGTON, WE'RE REALLY GOING FOR IT.

I'M A FISHING KID FROM ALASKA, I KNOW HOW TO WORK,

BUT RANCH LIFE IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF WORK

AND IT'S JUST AS STRENUOUS.

THESE GUYS, THEY EAT A LOT OF HAY.

IT'S SO NICE TO BE ABLE TO STEP OUT

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING,

BRUSHING MY TEETH, GET A GLANCE OUT OF THIS THING.

RAW AND UNTOUCHED LAND FOR NEARLY A CENTURY,

THE BROWN FAMILY IS DETERMINED TO TRANSFORM

THE UNFORGIVING PROPERTY INTO A SELF-SUSTAINING HOMESTEAD

TO LAST GENERATIONS.

BUT IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE FOR US.

THE LEADER OF THE WOLF PACK,

BILLY BROWN, ESCAPED TO ALASKA WITH AMI 40 YEARS AGO.

THERE THEY FOUND THEIR HOME.

THEY RAISED THEIR SEVEN CHILDREN ON DESOLATE ISLANDS...

I'VE SEEN DAD IN COLD, BITTER WINTERS

TO WHERE HE JUST KEPT PULLING THE WOOD.

I'VE SEEN DAD STARE DOWN GIGANTIC BEARS.

...BOATS.

LET'S GO, GUYS. TIME TO WAKE UP.

...AND REMOTE LOCATIONS.

YOU SEE THAT LITTLE COVE RIGHT THERE?

THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED?

LOOKS PRETTY NICE AROUND HERE.

A LOT OF THE ISLANDS DIDN'T HAVE ANY PEOPLE

AND THAT'S THE FUN PART --

SEEING THINGS NOBODY HAS SEEN.

EVERY DAY I THANK GOD FOR MY CHILDHOOD

AND THE WAY THAT I GREW UP.

IT WAS THE MOST MAGICAL THING YOU COULD HAVE IMAGINED.

NOW BILLY HAS A NEW PLAN FOR HIS WOLF PACK,

RANGING IN AGE FROM 17 TO 37.

THEY WANT TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RANCH

ON A REMOTE MOUNTAIN IN WASHINGTON STATE

WITH EACH SIBLING HAVING A FULLY FUNCTIONAL HOME

ON THEIR OWN PARCEL.

THE UPSTAIRS UP HERE IS ACTUALLY GONNA BE MY BEDROOM.

EXTREME MANOR ON TOP OF MOUNT AWESOME.

BUT TO SUCCEED,

THEY MUST ACCOMPLISH THE IMPOSSIBLE THIS SUMMER --

GETTING WATER TO FLOW TO EVERY CORNER OF THE PROPERTY.

WATER -- IT RUNS EVERYTHING.

WATER'S THE LIFEBLOOD.

STOCK, ANIMALS, GARDENS, EVERYTHING WE HAVE,

INCLUDING US, HAVE TO HAVE IT.

TO ACHIEVE THIS, THEY MUST FIRST CONSTRUCT

A WAY TO PUMP THE WATER FROM THE GROUND.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE GONE TO GREAT EXTREMES

TO BE ABLE TO DO THINGS THE WAY WE WANT TO DO IT.

WE DON'T NORMALLY FOLLOW SUIT

TO WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE DOES, YOU KNOW?

AND IF WE CAN BECOME INDEPENDENT ON THE RANCH,

WE'RE AGAIN, WE RISE AND FALL BY OUR OWN HAND.

THAT'S BEEN MY DREAM ALWAYS.

AND I THINK THE NEXT STEP WE HAVE

IS A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE RANCH.

IT'S JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE IT WITHOUT WATER UP HERE.

IT'S OUR NEXT BIG THING.

I'VE TALKED TO A GUY A COUPLE OF TIMES NOW

THAT'S GOT A WINDMILL, AND WE'RE ABOUT TO GO GET IT.

- WHERE IS IT? - REALLY.

IT'S IN COALVILLE.

WHAT DO WE USE IT FOR? JOUSTING.

OKAY. DON QUIXOTE.

IT PUMPS WATER OUT OF THE GROUND.

GOOD LORD KNEW WHAT WE NEEDED,

AND HE GAVE IT RIGHT TO US, YOU KNOW?

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WITH A WINDMILL GOES BACK

TO OLD SCHOOL.

IT'S AN EARTH BASIC THING.

AS THE WIND TURNS, THE PUMP GOES UP AND DOWN.

IT BRINGS WATER UP, BUT IT CAN'T BUILD PRESSURE.

THEREFORE, YOU PUT IT IN A STRATEGIC AREA

AND FROM THAT WINDMILL, IF IT'S DOWNHILL,

YOU SUPPLY WATER. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

WILL IT BE ENOUGH WATER

TO WATER ALL THE ANIMALS AND GARDENS?

IT WILL BE ENOUGH WATER TO BE THE LIFEBLOOD OF THIS RANCH.

HAVING THIS WELL

AND HOOKING UP THE WINDMILL TO IT

IS GONNA BE PERFECT.

BECAUSE THE WINDMILL, ONCE IT'S GOING, IS GONNA STAY

GOING FOR A LONG, LONG, LONG TIME.

IT'S GONNA SUPPLY A LOT OF WATER.

IT'S GONNA JUST KEEP ON PUMPING.

IT'S NOT GONNA BE REALLY SIMPLE, I DON'T THINK.

NOTHING EVER IS.

NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE WINDMILL'S THE NEXT STEP.

IT'S A BASIC FOUNDATION TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ACTUALLY THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT.

A GOOD WATER SYSTEM, GOOD WATER FLOW,

THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS TO GROWING YOUR RANCH.

THAT'S WHAT THE GUYS DID 100 YEARS AGO ON RANCHES.

YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN'T HAVE GENERATORS.

WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THAT STUFF.

THEY COULDN'T GO OUT THERE EVERY DAY

AND DEAL WITH SOMETHING, SO THEY GOT THE WIND.

AS LONG AS IT'S PUMPING EVERY DAY,

THEN IT KEEPS EVERYTHING VIABLE.

THIS COULD BE ALMOST AS FUN AS DISNEYLAND,

MAYBE NOT AS MANY RIDES.

I THINK HE ANSWERED YOU.

I THINK HE DID.

25 MILES FROM THE RANCH,

NOAH AND WIFE, RHAIN ALISHA, GIVE THEIR SON, ELIJAH,

AN EARLY LESSON ON BUSH SHOPPING,

HAVING GIVEN BIRTH A FEW MONTHS EARLIER...

SAY HI TO YOUR GRANDSON.

HI, THERE.

BEING A GRANDPARENT IS SO WONDERFUL.

HE'S JUST SO SMART AND CUDDLY.

IT'S EVEN MORE THAN I DREAMT IT COULD BE.

...AND WITH THE FAMILY HOPING TO SECURE A WINDMILL,

NOAH IS SEARCHING FOR PARTS TO CREATE A CONCRETE MIXER,

PROVIDING A STEADY FLOW OF CEMENT FOR THE STRUCTURE'S BASE.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONCRETE MIXER'S AUTOMATED.

YES.

I'M THINKING ABOUT GOING FOR A WASHING MACHINE,

AND THEN TEARING IT OPEN

AND USING, LIKE, A 55-GALLON DRUM

ATTACHED ONTO IT.

TODAY AT THE JUNKYARD, I'M LOOKING FOR A GOOD MOTOR

AND A BARREL AND SOME SORT OF STAND

SO THAT I CAN MAKE A CEMENT MIXER.

A WASHING-MACHINE MOTOR WON'T WORK.

WHY?

IT DOESN'T SPIN. IT GOES LIKE THIS.

OH, YOU'RE RIGHT. IT ONLY OSCILLATES.

OKAY. YES.

CEILING FANS ARE ABLE TO VARY THEIR SPEED.

QUESTION IS, WOULD IT BE POWERFUL ENOUGH

TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE MIXER?

WHAT DO YOU THINK, ELI?

ONE OF MY DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE IS HELPING

ELI MAKE SOMETHING OR MAKING SOMETHING WITH ELI.

WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?

IT'S OKAY IF HE DOESN'T LIKE TO TINKER. THAT'S FINE.

HE CAN BE AND DO WHATEVER HE WANTS AS LONG AS WE APPROVE.

DO YOU WANT TO GET HIM TO THE TRUCK, COOL HIM OFF,

TAKE CARE OF HIM?

I'LL LOOK AROUND AND THEN MEET YOU THERE.

SURE. I LOVE YOU.

I WON'T BE LONG. I KNOW.

CYBERSPACE, YOU HAVE AN ADMIRER.

SHE LIKES YOU.

AND YOU'RE THROWING UP.

BARF IT OUT.

GOOD BOY.

IT WAS JUST A HAIR BALL, GUYS.

HE FINE.

IT HAPPENS.

EVEN TO ME.

I'M ACTUALLY STUFFING A PILLOW

WITH SOME CAT HAIR I'VE COLLECTED

AND I'M ALSO GONNA MAKE THE PILLOW LOOK LIKE A CAT.

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY OF YOU FEEL LEFT OUT,

SO I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE FACE LOOK LIKE

ANY ONE OF YOU, SPECIFIC.

SO I'M GONNA MAKE IT JUST A GENERIC CAT.

I CAME ABOUT THE WHOLE CAT-HAIR THING

BECAUSE THERE'S JUST SO MUCH OF IT EVERYWHERE

AND I'M LIKE, "I CAN DO SOMETHING WITH THIS."

AND I'VE TRIED TO MAKE BRACELETS WITH IT

LIKE MY MOM DOES WITH THE DOG HAIR.

THERE WE GO.

SHAME HE DIDN'T LET US BATHE HIM FIRST.

IT'S JUST TOO THIN TO DO THAT.

SO, LIKE, IT WORKS REALLY WELL FOR PILLOWS.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE CLUMP OF PURE YOURS.

YOU SMELL YOU ON THERE?

BIRD, MY ENTIRE LIFE, HAS BEEN OBSESSED WITH ANIMALS.

SHE IS BEYOND OBSESSED WITH HER CATS.

SHE HAS A LOT OF THEM, NEARING 20.

YOU'RE COMING TO IT. YOU MUST LIKE IT.

COME HERE. GOOD BOY.

SHE'S RAISED A TON OF CATS.

SHE'S ALWAYS HAD THEM AROUND AND SHE CAN GET HER CAT

TO DO THINGS THAT CATS JUST DON'T NORMALLY DO.

SHE HAD ONE CAT WHO WOULD LITERALLY HUNT WITH HER.

THAT CAT WOULD GO OUT, WOULD SCOUT THE AREAS, COME BACK

AND JUMP ON HER SHOULDER, RIDE ON THE SHOULDER, JUMP DOWN,

IT'D MEOW IN THE DIRECTION OF THINGS.

THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT HER.

SHE LOVES CATS.

SO I'M GONNA GIVE IT LITTLE WHISKERS, I THINK, RIGHT HERE.

AND THEN WE CAN DO A LITTLE YELLOW MOUSE, MAYBE.

YES, THAT'S SO CUTE. YOU LIKE IT?

DON'T PLAY WITH THEM.

IT'S A CRAZY-LOOKING KITTY.

FITS THIS FAMILY.

I THINK FOR RIGHT NOW, IT'S DONE.

OH, THAT'S REALLY COMFY, YOU GUYS.

IT'S MAKING ME SLEEPY.

♪♪

HOW ARE YOU DOING? I'M BILLY.

I'M MATT.

GOOD TO MEET YOU, MATT. THIS IS MY WIFE, AMI.

NICE MEETING YOU, MATT.

HEY. I'M BEAR. HEY, BEAR.

AFTER A 2-HOUR DRIVE,

BILLY, AMI, AND BEAR ARRIVE IN COALVILLE,

A FARMING TOWN 20 MILES FROM THE IDAHO BORDER,

TO TAKE A FIRST LOOK AT THE WINDMILL

THAT COULD BE THE LIFEBLOOD OF THEIR RANCH.

OH, YOU'RE ALL GREEN. WE'RE NOT GREEN AT THE MOMENT.

NO, NOT AT THE MOMENT. IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUT HERE.

- LOOK AT THIS. - WE COULD USE SOME GREEN.

WE LIKE HIGH MOUNTAIN DESERT.

YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF WINDMILLS IN MY LIFE,

BUT I'VE NEVER CLIMBED ONE.

CERTAINLY NEVER PUT ONE TOGETHER OR TAKEN IT DOWN.

I'M PSYCHED.

I AM TICKLED TO DEATH ABOUT IT.

YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THROUGH HERE, OUT IN THE FIELD.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

- WOW. - WHOA, NICE.

OH, MAN.

THAT IS GONNA LOOK REALLY GOOD ON THE HILL.

THIS WINDMILL IS 30 FEET TO THE TOP.

PERSONALLY, LOOKING AT THIS THING, I'M LIKE,

"IT'S A LOT MORE

THAN I EVER THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE."

SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?

I DRILLED A WELL UNDERNEATH IT.

ACTUALLY SET IT UP TO PUMP WATER,

BECAUSE I WAS GONNA IRRIGATE THE FIELD.

RIGHT.

IT WAS PUMPING WATER, BUT IT'S NOT NOW.

FIRST GAZING MY EYES UPON THE WINDMILL,

I MUST SAY, IT IS QUITE A SIGHT.

IF WE CAN GET THIS THING DOWN IN ONE PIECE,

WE CAN GET IT BACK UP IN ONE PIECE,

THEN IT WILL REALLY SUPPLY OUR ENTIRE RANCH WITH WATER.

WHAT DOES IT WEIGH UP THERE?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA?

THE MILL AND EVERYTHING IS ABOUT 600 POUNDS.

WITHOUT IT, IT'S PROBABLY 300 POUNDS.

HOW DEEP IS THAT MUD UP THERE?

RIGHT BEHIND YOU, IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT THAT DEEP.

SHALLOW SPOT IS RIGHT THERE, STRAIGHT --

RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE? RIGHT THERE?

YEP. THAT'S THE SHALLOWS.

THERE HE GOES.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NO SURPRISE

THAT BEAR JUST TAKES LEAD ON TEARING THIS THING UP.

WE'RE JUST STANDING HERE, STARING AT IT, AND BEAR'S LIKE,

"GIVE ME A WRENCH." HE'S THE BEST GUY FOR THIS ONE.

OH, THERE'S YOUR HEIGHT GUY.

OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH, WE GOT THAT.

YOU KNOW, I THINK, OVER THE YEARS,

THAT BEAR'S JUST GROWN UP A LITTLE BIT.

HE'S STILL WILD AND FREE LIKE HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

I JUST GOT TO TURN MYSELF INTO A TRUE WOLF

AND STALK SOME DEER.

HE HAS MORE OF A SENSE OF LEADERSHIP.

HE'S THAT GUY YOU CAN LEAN ON.

WILL YOU BE MY BEST MAN?

I'LL BE YOUR BEST MAN.

HIS DOMAIN HAS KIND OF PROGRESSED FROM A TREE HOUSE

TO NOW HE HAS, LIKE, THIS HUGE CASTLE.

AND I THINK HE KIND OF WANTS TO MAKE IT BIGGER FOR A FAMILY.

MAGNIFICENT!

NO MATTER WHAT COMES DOWN THE LINE,

BEAR'S NEVER GONNA LOSE THAT SENSE OF ADVENTURE,

WHERE THE WILD JUST CALLS TO HIM.

MAYBE HE CAN SPIN IT.

THERE HE GOES.

- IS THAT AWESOME? - I LOVE IT. LOOK AT THAT.

I'LL HAVE TO BRING THE WHOLE CREW OUT

AND WE'RE GONNA GET BACK HERE

AS QUICK AS WE CAN POSSIBLY DO IT.

THIS WINDMILL IS 30 FEET TO THE TOP.

EACH SECTION IS CROSS-SECTIONED AND BOLTED AND ALL...

IT'S ONE OF THOSE EVERYBODY'S GONNA HAVE TO

WORK TOGETHER IN THEIR OWN CAPACITY

OR IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.

SEEMS STURDY ENOUGH!

NOT TOO TALL, EITHER!

GIVE US A HOWL.

LOVE IT!

-YOU HAVE IT. IT'S HEFTY. YOU HAVE IT.

-THE WINDMILL TAKE-DOWN UNRAVELS AS SOON AS IT BEGINS.

-I'M HEARING A LOT OF UH-OHS,

AND THEY'RE NOT TELLING ME WHAT'S WRONG.

HOLD IT. PULL IT.

IT'S COMING DOWN.

I'VE TALKED TO A GUY A COUPLE OF TIMES NOW

THAT'S GOT A WINDMILL, AND WE'RE ABOUT TO GO GET IT.

FATHER, BILLY, HAS ACQUIRED A 60-YEAR-OLD WINDMILL

TO PUMP WATER TO THE FAMILY'S PROPERTY

ON THEIR MOUNTAIN RANCH.

THAT IS GONNA LOOK REALLY GOOD ON THE HILL.

WHAT DOES IT WEIGH UP THERE? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA?

THE MILL AND EVERYTHING IS ABOUT 600 POUNDS.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

I KNOW WE DON'T DO THINGS THE WAY A LOT OF PEOPLE DO THEM,

I DON'T GUESS.

BUT WE DO THINGS OUR WAY, AND WE'VE JUST DONE IT

THE ONLY WAY WE KNOW. WE JUST START DOING IT.

BUT BEFORE RETURNING TO COALVILLE TO DISMANTLE IT,

THE MOST UNTAMED MEMBER OF THE WOLF PACK

IS GETTING PUMPED UP FOR THE BIG DAY.

I'M JUST RIGGING UP A SMALL UTENSIL

TO DO A FEW WORKOUTS.

THIS... INSIDE THE PUNCH MUSCLES HERE.

I CRAVE THE BURN. I CRAVE TO BE TIRED.

IT'S LIKE A BUSH EQUIVALENT OF A GYM.

♪♪

YOU'VE HEARD OF BREAKFAST IN BED?

THIS IS GYM IN BED.

WORKING OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

ACTUALLY, I SHOULD MAKE A SWING, TOO.

SWINGING IN THE RAIN.

MY BLOOD VEINS ARE POPPING.

JUST ALL PART OF...

KEEPING YOURSELF IN SHAPE.

GOOD WORKOUT, THOUGH.

START HER UP.

IS THAT FULL ENOUGH FOR YOU?

YEAH.

ANYTIME I'M GOING ANYWHERE OR I KNOW

I'M NOT GONNA BE ON THE MOUNTAIN,

I LIKE TO DOUBLE CHECK THE ANIMALS,

MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S DEFINITELY GOOD.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE WELL TAKEN CARE OF,

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN WHILE I'M GONE.

OKAY, GUYS.

WELL, YOU HAVE WATER. I'M GONNA GO.

I'LL BE BA-A-CK.

WALK ME THROUGH IT. WHAT ARE WE DOING?

WE'RE BASICALLY BUILDING CONCRETE FORMS.

DAD LEFT US WITH HIS MASTER PLAN.

THAT'S A MASTERPIECE IF I'VE EVER SEEN IT.

DEFINITELY.

DAD GAVE BAM AND I A BASIC ROUGH DRAFT

DRAWN ON A NAPKIN AND BLUEPRINT

THAT HE WANTS FOR THE FOUNDATION FOR THE WINDMILL.

I'M SURE THAT TAKING TIME OFF TO BUILD A CEMENT MIXER,

IT'S GONNA SAVE US A LOT OF TIME AT THE OTHER END.

I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED.

I'VE NEVER IN MY LIFE SEEN A WINDMILL PUMP WATER.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT'S GONNA BE LIKE.

I THINK THE WINDMILL IS THE PERFECT STEP.

IT'S GOING TO JUST START WATER FLOWING THROUGH ALL OF THE RANCH

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED.

IT LOOKS GIGANTIC.

I FEEL LIKE IT'S GONNA BE A DIFFICULT JOB.

I DO HAVE MY CONCERNS.

THE WINDMILL IS DEFINITELY A LOT BIGGER THAN

I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE. IT'S NOT A ONE-MAN JOB.

WE'RE ALL GONNA HAVE TO BE WORKING IN UNISON.

IF ANY OF US MAKE ONE MISTAKE, WE COULD ACTUALLY GET HURT.

THE WINDMILL IS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE FAMILY.

WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO PUMP WATER

THROUGHOUT THEIR PROPERTY, GROWTH IS AT A STANDSTILL.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO DISMANTLE THE 30-FOOT-TALL STRUCTURE

THE ONLY WAY BILLY SEES FIT.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY I CAN SEE TO TAKE THE WINDMILL DOWN.

YOU TAKE A WRENCH UP THERE AND YOU KEEP TAKING BOLTS OUT OF IT

UNTIL THAT PART COMES DOWN.

AND THEN YOU TAKE THE NEXT PART DOWN.

AND YOU JUST, LIKE WE DO EVERYTHING,

WE DEAL WITH IT AS IT'S IN FRONT OF US.

FIRST STEP, BEAR, GO UP AND START TAKING OFF BOLTS.

YOU GET UNDERNEATH HIM, YOU GRAB WHAT HE HANDS YOU.

WHAT ABOUT RAIN AND I?

YOU TWO ARE GONNA GET THE PIECES

FROM THAT SIDE OF THE BOG TO ON THE TRUCK.

EVERYBODY JUST NEEDS TO STICK

TO THEIR JOB RIGHT NOW, OKAY?

HOW DO WE GET ACROSS THE BOG?

I BROUGHT A SPARE PAIR OF TENNIS SHOES FOR MYSELF.

THOUGHTFUL.

THE BOY SCOUT MOTTO IS "ALWAYS BE PREPARED."

AND IT'S ONE THING GROWING UP IN ALASKA,

YOU WANT TO TAKE MULTIPLE SHOES

BECAUSE DOCKING THE SKIFF AND STUFF LIKE THAT,

I'D ALWAYS JUMP OUT AND JUST WALK THAT SKIFF IN.

AND I CARRY A PAIR OF SPARE SHOES SOMETIMES.

ON THE DOUBLE. COME ON.

OKAY. SO...

ALTHOUGH BEAR IS THE ONLY ONE WHO'S COME PREPARED,

SISTER BIRD HAS AN IDEA TO HELP DEAL WITH THE BOG,

USING SOME BUSH IMPROVISATION.

YOU KNOW THE TRICK OF WHEN YOUR SHOE IS WET,

TO KEEP YOUR FEET DRY, YOU PUT YOUR FOOT IN THE BAG?

I'M JUST BASICALLY GONNA DO THAT.

JUST BUSH WADERS, BASICALLY.

GETTING TO THE WINDMILL IS GONNA BE A CHALLENGE

WITH THE BOG IN BETWEEN US, BUT BIRD CAME UP WITH AN IDEA.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE SOME BUSH WADERS,

WHICH ARE BASICALLY JUST TRASH BAGS DUCT-TAPED ON YOU.

YOU'D BE AMAZED WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A LITTLE BIT OF DUCT TAPE

AND SOME TRASH BAGS.

LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE MUSKEG, EH?

I'M NEVER GONNA WASH THIS OUT OF MY SOCKS.

I EXPECTED A NICE MUSKEG THAT I WOULD SWIM ACROSS.

THIS STINKS.

I TOLD YOU, AND THERE'S A LOT OF BUGS

WE DO NOT HAVE IN ALASKA IN THERE.

I'M PASSING THROUGH IT,

AND IT'S LIKE ALMOST TO MY WAIST AND IT SMELLS.

I EVEN LIVE WITH CATS AND I STILL SMELL IT.

OKAY, FINALLY, THE TOOLS MADE IT OVER.

WHAT AM I, CHOPPED LIVER?

LET'S TRY TO PUT AS MUCH AS THAT

RIGHT HERE AS POSSIBLE.

WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS PART BEING TOO LEVEL,

JUST THE SQUARE BEING LEVEL, SO ONCE WE BUILD THE FRAME

AND THEN WE CAN SMOOTH IT OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

IT WILL BE EASY TO BUILD THE FRAME

IF IT'S ALREADY SMOOTHED OUT.

LET'S TAKE THIS AND JUST PUT IT HERE.

IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE WINDMILL FOUNDATION IS PERFECT,

THE SAME WAY THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT ANY FOUNDATION IS PERFECT.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A CHICKEN COOP

OR A HOUSE OR A WINDMILL,

BECAUSE EVERYTHING STARTS WITH THE FOUNDATION.

RHAIN WILL DEFINITELY BE HAPPY

THAT I'M GETTING A WORKOUT IN.

WHAT, ARE YOU GETTING A LITTLE SOFT AROUND THE MIDSECTION

SINCE YOU GOT MARRIED AND HAD A KID?

WORKING ON THE LOVE HANDLES?

A LITTLE SOFT, HAVE YOU SEEN ME?

JUST NOT A WHOLE LOT OF TIME

TO JUST EXERCISE OR DO LITTLE THINGS.

WHEN YOU'RE A DAD,

EVERYTHING'S TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR WIFE AND YOUR SON.

HE'S A BABY, HE'S LIKE A MINUTE OLD.

THAT'S THE THING.

YOU CHANGE A DIAPER.

BAM KEEPS TRYING TO CALL ME OUT FOR CONSTANTLY BRINGING UP ELI.

I GUESS HE MIGHT FEEL IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE

I'M BRAGGING, AND KIND OF,

I DON'T KNOW, HE COMES OFF A BIT JEALOUS.

YOU'RE GONNA BE LIKE A COMBINATION OF A SNOWPLOW

AND HELICOPTER PARENT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

A HELICOPTER PARENT IS ALWAYS THERE.

THEY'RE ALWAYS HOVERING OVER THEIR KID

AND A SNOWPLOW PARENT

TRIES TO PLOW EVERYTHING OUT OF THE WAY

SO THAT THEY NEVER HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANYTHING.

NO. ADVERSITY BREEDS GREATNESS.

NOAH AND I USUALLY WORK REALLY WELL TOGETHER.

THERE'S A LITTLE BIT

OF THAT BACK-AND-FORTH BANTER AND EVERYTHING.

HE'S TALKING ABOUT HIS KID NONSTOP.

YOU CAN REALLY TELL THAT THAT'S HIS ENTIRE REASON FOR LIVING.

WONDER HOW THE TRIP TO ACQUIRE THE WINDMILL IS GOING.

I'M SURE THEY'RE DOING GOOD.

I MEAN, THEY HAVE THE ENTIRE WORKFORCE MINUS YOU AND I.

OKAY, IN THAT CASE, THEY'RE PROBABLY DOOMED.

YEAH.

COME ON, USE THOSE GORILLA ARMS, PULL!

AM I AT THE TOP YET?

NOT YET. KEEP GOING. I'LL NEED TO USE THE LADDER

UNTIL WE GET UP A LITTLE FURTHER.

BROTHER BEAR HAS VOLUNTEERED TO LEAD

THE DISMANTLING OF THE FAN BLADE AND ENGINE.

YOU GOOD, GABE? THIS IS CRAZY.

BUT AT 30 FEET AND WITHOUT SAFETY HARNESSES,

IT'S A BIT OF A RISK.

WELL, I'VE NEVER MUCH LIKED CONSTRUCTION,

I'VE ALWAYS LIKED DESTRUCTION.

BUT THE ONLY BUILDING JOBS I'VE EVER DONE, REALLY,

ARE WHEN IT'S UP HIGH, BECAUSE I LIKE HEIGHTS.

SO I'M TRYING TO TAKE CHARGE ON IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

BECAUSE UP HIGH IS KIND OF MY TERRITORY.

LOOK AT THIS ONE. SHE'S NOT STABLE.

YOU KNOW, I WAS KIND OF OFFENDED

WE DIDN'T GET THAT JOB.

I'M NOT ANYMORE. YEAH.

SHE'S LOOSE! PART OF IT IS LOOSE, GUYS!

UNSCREW IT.

IT'S HEFTY, YOU HAVE IT. TRY TO FINGER IT.

COME ON. OKAY, IT'S ALMOST OUT, GABE.

WHOA, WHOA,

IT'S COMING DOWN, IT'S COMING DOWN RIGHT NOW.

IT'S OUT. I GOT IT TOO.

LET GO, IT'S LIGHT, IT'S REALLY LIGHT.

HOLD UP.

THIS IS LIKE A FAN BLADE, SO BE FAR ENOUGH OUT.

IF IT FALLS, IT MIGHT --

IF IT FALLS, IT WILL BREAK,

AND EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING IS FOR NAUGHT.

IT SHOULDN'T FALL, BUT IT MIGHT!

LOOKING AT BEAR AND GABE UP THERE,

IF THEY END UP DROPPING THIS OR GETTING INJURED

AND DROPPING IT, THIS HAS ALL BEEN A WASTE.

THEY NEED TO GET ONE PLAN TOGETHER

AND GET IT DOWN SAFELY AND THEM NOT GET HURT.

OW! LET GO, WORRY ABOUT THE FAN.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE FAN.

OKAY, WELL, I GOT THE ROPE.

KEEP LOWERING IT. I GOT IT.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS.

YOU ARE NOT BEING CAREFUL ENOUGH WITH THAT.

- A LITTLE MORE! - HOLD ON.

I GOT IT!

I'M TRYING TO YELL, "I'M ON THE GROUND,"

BUT I'M TRYING TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON EVERYTHING.

IF I SEE SOMETHING THAT THEY MISS, SO I CAN LET THEM KNOW.

YOU HAVE IT, IT'S HEFTY, YOU HAVE IT.

BEAR, DON'T MAKE ME FATIGUE MY ARMS, UNSCREW IT.

BUT THEY NEED TO COMMUNICATE MORE,

BECAUSE I'M HEARING A LOT OF UH-OHS,

AND THEY'RE NOT TELLING ME WHAT'S WRONG.

HOLD ON, IT'S TWISTING. I KNOW.

IT'S LOOKING A LITTLE DARK ABOVE US.

YOU KNOW, THE RAIN AND THE WIND,

LOOKS LIKE THE WEATHER'S TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORST.

SLIPPERY SURFACES IS NOT WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE DANGLING OFF THE TOP OF THIS THING

AND WE BARELY HAVE A HANDHOLD AS IS.

IT'S SO WINDY UP HERE, MAN.

ARE YOU GONNA BE ALRIGHT WHEN THIS CUTS LOOSE?

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S GONNA PULL IT DOWN FOR SURE.

IT'S GETTING DANGEROUS. THIS SUCKS.

HOLD ON, IT'S TWISTING. I KNOW.

AN INCOMING STORM HAS THE BROWNS ON EDGE

AS THEY WORK TO DISMANTLE A 30-FOOT WINDMILL.

IT'S LOOKING A LITTLE DARK ABOVE US.

I HOPE IT DOESN'T TURN INTO A LIGHTNING STORM.

THE WINDMILL AND THE WATER IT WILL PUMP

ARE KEY TO THE FAMILY'S NEXT STEPS

ON THEIR MOUNTAIN HOMESTEAD,

AND BROTHER BEAR HAS TAKEN THE LEAD ON ITS DISMANTLING.

COME ON, MAKE IT QUICK, WE NEED YOU.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE WORK AS A TEAM

TO DISASSEMBLE THIS WINDMILL.

WE CAN'T DAMAGE OR BEND IT AT ALL.

THAT WAY IT CAN GO UP WHOLE, IT CAN ACTUALLY SPIN,

AND WATER WILL START SPROUTING OUT OF THE GROUND.

HOLD ON, HOLD! DON'T THINK I CAN REACH IT YET.

OKAY.

CARRYING THESE BLADES ACROSS THE BOG, IT'S NOT SUPER EASY.

BECAUSE IF FALL AND GET WET, THAT'S FINE,

I DON'T WANT TO MESS THESE BLADES UP.

AND THEY'RE AWKWARD, THEY'RE SHARP.

AND IT'S LIKE EVERY TIME I GO THROUGH,

IT'S LIKE IT'S GETTING DEEPER AND DEEPER.

COME ON, FROGGY. I'LL GIVE YOU A KISS.

IT'S MOVING, GABE. IT'S COMING OUT.

OKAY. HANG ON. IT WON'T COME OUT UNTIL I SAY.

GABE, BEAR! I CAUGHT A FROG IN A BOG.

OKAY, THAT'S COOL. VERY NICE.

GABE, YOU'VE GOT TO PUT THE TOP BACK IN.

GOT IT.

GUYS, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. YOU'RE GONNA BEND IT.

DO WE HAVE A NOTCH ON THAT ONE?

YEAH, AND YOU HAVE YOUR BRAKE LINE.

I'M LETTING GO OF THIS. DO IT.

EVERY BLADE THAT COMES DOWN, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE RELIEF,

BUT ONCE WE GET ALL THE BLADES DOWN,

THE HARDEST PART IS GONNA BE GETTING THE TOP MOTOR PART OFF.

LAST ONE COMING DOWN.

BLADES DOWN!

GOOD JOB, GUYS.

♪♪

IT'S COZY IN HERE.

WITH THE BASE OF THE BROWNS' WINDMILL FRAMED

AND READY FOR THE NEXT STEP,

BROTHER NOAH GETS TO WORK ON HIS CEMENT MIXER.

I'M DRILLING HOLES IN IT SO THAT I CAN ATTACH THIS PIECE HERE,

THEN THIS ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE BARREL,

SCREW ON THE ATTACHMENT,

AND THIS SHOULD SLIDE OVER THE KNOB.

I SHOULD HAVE A CONCRETE MIXER.

IT IS EXTREMELY USEFUL IN A WORK ENVIRONMENT

AND ON A HOMESTEAD TO BE ABLE TO SEE THINGS LIKE I DO.

I DON'T WORK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE OR SEE IT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

I DON'T SEE WHAT'S THERE, I SEE WHAT CAN BE THERE.

THIS IS DEFINITELY A LOWER 48 FIND BECAUSE, WELL,

I ACTUALLY HAD NEVER SEEN ONE OF THOSE IN ALASKA.

NOAH'S ALWAYS BEEN THE MR. FIX-IT GUY.

HE'S FIX-IT FELIX.

HE'S THE DUDE THAT IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING BROKEN,

YOU GIVE IT TO HIM AND HE'S GONNA FIX IT FOR YOU.

THIS WAS THE PROTOTYPE FOR MY NIGHT-VISION HELMET.

I USED A SECURITY CAMERA TO PROJECT THE IMAGE.

NOAH WENT VERY FAST FROM BEING THE KID JUST TINKERING AROUND.

I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT ON THAT PULLEY UP THERE.

YOU REALLY THINK IT'S THAT SIMPLE?

NO.

ALWAYS IN HIS LAB WELDING SOMETHING

OR SOLDERING SOMETHING.

YOU PUSH THIS LITTLE BUTTON,

INSIDE IS A BUG ZAPPER.

THEY'RE JUST GOING RIGHT UP.

AND NOW HE COMPLETELY CHANGED.

NOAH MORPHED INTO BEING LIKE THE ULTRA BUSH DAD.

SPREAD YOUR WINGS.

SO ADORABLE.

IF THE ENGINE WORKS, THEN THIS IS PERFECT.

IF NOT, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS REPLACE THE MOTOR

AND I CAN KEEP THE GEARBOX AND EVERYTHING.

NOW I JUST NEED TO PUT THE WINGS INSIDE

AND IT SHOULD BE READY TO ACTUALLY BE USED.

ALRIGHT, GABE.

I THINK THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO DO IT

IS FOR ME TO GO UP TO THE TIPPY, TIPPY TOP.

STRADDLE THAT THING LIKE A HORSEY.

YEAH.

IT'S TIME TO DO THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN DREADING.

IT'S TIME TO MOVE THE MOTOR.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE

TO REALLY MOVE IT AROUND.

IT LOOKS REALLY HEAVY, IT'S REALLY OLD,

AND WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREAK ANYTHING.

SO WE DEFINITELY HAVE OUR WORK CUT OUT FOR US.

THAT MOTOR'S GONNA BE REALLY HEAVY.

YEP. AND AS SOON AS WE UNSCREW THAT THING,

IT'S JUST GONNA FALL.

IT'S ALL STILL GONNA BE UP, RIGHT?

OR IS THAT HELPING TO HOLD IT UP?

YEAH, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S HELPING TO HOLD IT,

IT MIGHT JUST SPRING OUT.

BUT HOW DO WE KEEP THE TAIL FROM SWINGING?

DON'T ASK ME THAT, MAN.

YO, GUYS.

- WHOA! - HEY, CHECK IT!

EXPECTING A CHALLENGE,

FATHER, BILLY, BARTERED WITH A LOCAL FARMER

FOR AN HOUR'S USE OF A CHERRY PICKER.

MAN, IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET HERE, I'LL TELL YOU THAT.

EVERYTHING'S DELAYED ON IT.

OKAY.

BUT THE LIFT HAS A STRICT WEIGHT LIMIT

OF 500 POUNDS

AND THE SIBLINGS MUST AVOID DAMAGING IT.

ONE MISTAKE COULD COST THE FAMILY THOUSANDS.

YEAH. GET GABE AND I UP THERE, TO THE MOON.

THE CRANE ITSELF HAS A MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF 500.

BEAR AND I, WE'RE ALMOST 300,

AND THEN THIS MOTOR WEIGHS NO TELLING HOW MUCH.

I'M JUST HOPING WE DON'T EXCEED IT.

SHOULD WE STRAP ON?

IT'S A TOSS-UP STRAPPING ON,

BECAUSE IF THIS THING FALLS OVER,

YOU MIGHT WISH YOU WEREN'T STRAPPED ON.

BUT GO AHEAD AND STRAP ON,

BECAUSE SHE'S NOT FALLING OVER.

I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT IT WAS BOTH OF THEM ON IT.

IT MIGHT NOT RAISE THEM OR IT MIGHT LOWER THEM

A LITTLE TOO FAST OR ANYTHING.

I'VE NEVER RAN ONE OF THESE,

SO I'M NOT REAL PROFICIENT WITH IT.

STRAIGHT UP. LET'S DO THIS.

UP, UP AND AWAY.

WHOA, OKAY.

WE DON'T WANT THAT ONE. HANG ON, WE'LL GET THEM.

OKAY.

AH, COME ON.

GABE SOUNDS LIKE HE'S HAVING FUN.

WHY IS IT DOING THAT?

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS. IT'S MOVING.

JUST GO WITH THE FLOW.

I'M A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE BECAUSE THIS...

IT AIN'T QUITE AS STRONG AS I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE.

OKAY. UP AND IN IF WE CAN. UP AND IN.

AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW HEAVY THIS MOTOR IS.

I'VE HEARD EVERYTHING FROM 600 POUNDS PLUS.

- WHOA. - EASY, EASY, EASY.

OH, SHOOT. OKAY.

YOU FEELING THAT?

IT'S STARTING TO SPRINKLE.

GUYS, WHAT'S UP? COME ON.

IT'S A SLOW GO.

WE'RE TRYING TO TIE IT COMPLETELY TO IT.

LET'S GET GOING.

THERE'S SOME CLOUDS ROLLING IN

AND THE WIND'S ACTUALLY STARTING TO PICK UP.

IT'S GONNA BE SLICK.

IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO, LIKE, MANEUVER.

IT'S JUST NOT IDEAL.

I'M DOWN TO FOUR BOLTS.

NOW, THAT'S MOVING QUITE A BIT.

WELL, OKAY. YEAH.

Y'ALL WATCH OUT BELOW!

OH, WE'RE WATCHING OUT.

- WHOA. - WATCH OUT.

EVERYBODY STAY OUT FROM UNDER THIS.

IT'S ABOUT TO GIVE. WATCH YOUR FINGERS.

IT'S TWISTING IT. WE'RE GONNA BREAK IT.

HOLD ON! IT'S GONNA BREAK!

GUYS, BE CAREFUL.

Y'ALL WATCH OUT BELOW.

OH, WE'RE WATCHING OUT.

WATCH OUT!

THE BROWNS ARE ATTEMPTING TO DETACH THE MOTOR

FROM THEIR NEWLY ACQUIRED WINDMILL.

IT'S ABOUT TO GIVE. IT'S OUT.

BUT THEY RISK BEING OVER

THE MACHINE'S WEIGHT LIMIT OF 500 POUNDS,

PUTTING BEAR, GABE, AND THE BORROWED LIFT IN DANGER.

WATCH YOUR FINGERS. IT'S TWISTING IT.

- IT'S TWISTED. - HANG ON, HANG ON. WE GOT THIS.

- HOLD ON, MAN. - STAY DOWN, STAY LOW.

I AM. I GOT IT. I GOT IT.

YOU'RE GONNA BREAK IT. HOLD ON.

- OH, MY GOD. - HOLD STEADY.

OKAY. WE JUST NEED TO GET IT DOWN NOW.

THIS THING IS TORQUING ON US SO MUCH.

I DON'T WANT IT TO PULL THE BUCKET OVER

WITH GABE AND I IN IT.

WE DON'T WANT TO BREAK THE GUY'S MACHINE

AND WE DON'T WANT TO MESS UP THE SKELETON OF THE WINDMILL.

AND RIGHT NOW IT'S LOOKING LIKE

IT'S GONNA DO ALL OF THE ABOVE.

WHOO. IT'S WOBBLY.

ALRIGHT. MAYBE TAKE US TO THE POINT AND DOWN.

I'M TRYING, BEAR.

I'M FEELING THIS THING SHIFT AROUND.

THE MORE THE WEIGHTS BEEN PUTTING ON IT,

THE MORE THIS THING'S MOVING AROUND.

IT'S A REALLY BAD SPOT TO BE IN.

- YOU'RE GOOD, GABE? - I'M EXCELLENT.

HERE YOU GO.

STOP. STOP.

NICE PILOTING THERE.

WE GOT IT DOWN. NO PERMANENT DAMAGE,

NOT TO ANY OF US AND NOT TO THE WINDMILL.

IT'S A LITTLE SOON TO CELEBRATE,

BUT FINALLY I CAN TOUCH GROUND AGAIN.

WHOO. ALRIGHT.

THING'S HEAVY.

WE STILL HAVE TO GET THAT SKELETON,

BUT THAT WAS THE HARD PART.

OKAY. IT SHOULD BE

PRETTY MUCH ALL THE WAY TO THE CORNER.

YOU WAIT THERE.

WHILE NOAH CONTINUES WORK ON THE MIXER

TO HELP FILL THE BASE WITH CEMENT,

BAM'S LACK OF PATIENCE HAS HIM WORKING THE JOB

THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY.

YOU, OF COURSE, WANT TO AVOID BREATHING THAT IN.

IT'S CONCRETE.

SO THE CONSISTENCY YOU REALLY WANT

IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN BAKING BREAD AND MAKING FLAPJACKS.

AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BAKING OR MIXING CONCRETE,

WELL, I HAVE NO WAY TO TELL YOU.

BAM DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THE CEMENT MIXER IS WORTH THE TIME

IT TAKES TO MAKE IT.

I BELIEVE THAT HE'S DRASTICALLY INCORRECT.

WHERE'S A GIANT CAKE BEATER WHEN YOU NEED ONE?

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THE REASON

BAM DOESN'T LIKE THE IDEA OF THE CEMENT MIXER

IS BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE THE IMAGINATION TO DO IT

OR TO COME UP WITH ONE

OR THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO CREATE IT.

COME ON.

ALRIGHT. I THINK WE'RE ABOUT THERE.

WE DEFINITELY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME

REALLY TO DO ANYTHING THAN GET THE FOUNDATION READY,

SO THAT WHEN THEY GET BACK WITH THE WINDMILL,

THEY CAN JUST PUT THE THING UP

AND GET IT PUMPING WATER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

STAY.

♪♪

WHOO, THAT LOOKS SO UNSTURDY.

OH, YOU'RE NOT HARNESSED ON?

- NOPE. - THAT'S GREAT.

I WOULD FEEL A LOT BETTER IF YOU HAD A HARNESS.

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN AFTER THE SUPPORTS ARE GONE?

I DIDN'T REALLY PLAN THAT FAR AHEAD.

THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA.

AFTER SUCCESSFULLY REMOVING THE MOTOR,

THE BROWN SIBLINGS MOVE ON TO THE FINAL STEP

OF DISASSEMBLING THE WINDMILL FRAME,

REMOVING SHARP METAL BEAMS, PIECE BY PIECE.

- RAINY? - YOU COULD GIVE ME A WARNING.

THAT WAS VERY CLOSE TO YOUR HEAD.

IT IS PRETTY STURDY, BUT IT'S THOSE YOU WANT TO WATCH FOR.

BEAR IS VERY HAPHAZARD RIGHT NOW.

I THINK HE'S GETTING A LITTLE BIT ANXIOUS.

HE'S LETTING HIS NERVES KIND OF TAKE IMPAIR OF HIS JUDGMENT

AND HE'S NOT BEING SUPER RESPECTFUL TO THE DANGER

THAT IS THIS SITUATION.

WATCH OUT BELOW.

LET'S NOT SPIKE IT TOWARDS ME, HOW 'BOUT?

I WASN'T. I JUST SPIKED IT IN FRONT OF YOU.

NO, YOU AIMED IT TOWARDS ME.

I DID NOT.

RAIN'S AFRAID THAT I'M TAKING A FEW TOO MANY RISKS.

I THINK MAYBE SHE'S HUNG AROUND WITH BAM JUST A LITTLE TOO LONG,

BUT IT'S LIKE IT'S AN AWESOME THING

TO BE ABLE TO SEE MY LITTLE SISTER GROW UP.

I WAS BORN IN KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, AND I AM 9 YEARS OLD.

RAIN GREW UP SO FAST

BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY, SHE WAS 4.

RAIN HAS DEFINITELY TAKEN ON

KIND OF THAT, LIKE, MOTHER-HEN THING.

MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF US ARE SAFE

BECAUSE IT USED TO BE US MAKING SURE SHE'S SAFE.

I THINK IT'S PARTLY NECESSITY, BUT I THINK ANOTHER PART'S

BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO, SHE WAS READY TO.

YOU ARE A PHEASANT-NAILING LITTLE GIRL.

I'M A WOMAN, GABE.

GETTING CLOSE.

YEAH. I FEEL THIS WHOLE THING WOBBLING.

GUYS, I FIGURED IF I CAN DISCONNECT THIS HERE

THEN IT WILL LITERALLY HAVE IT SPLIT CLEAN AND TWO,

SO WE CAN JUST LAY THIS HALF DOWN.

SO BASICALLY RAIN AND I WILL BE PULLING IT DOWN

AND GABE WILL BE MAKING SURE IT DOESN'T FALL.

YES, TO COUNTERBALANCE.

GUYS, I'M ON THE LAST ONE ON THIS SIDE.

SO KEEP YOUR HEADS UP AND PAY ATTENTION.

TORQUED AGAINST IT PRETTY GOOD AND RUSTY.

BEAR, BE VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE IT'LL POP.

YEP.

PULL, RAIN.

- MOVE, MAN. - IT'S HOLDING.

IT'S HOLDING.

GABE, YOU SEE THOSE LITTLE POINTY THINGS?

YEAH.

THEY'RE GONNA SHAKE OFF AND IMPALE YOU, PLEASE STAND BACK.

WE'RE NOT COMMUNICATING ENOUGH.

WE'RE NOT WORKING AS A TEAM LIKE WE SHOULD BE

BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS THEIR PLAN TO WORK

AND HAS DO IT QUICK AND GET HOME TO THE MOUNTAIN.

HOLD STEADY.

BEAR, COME TOWARDS ME RIGHT NOW.

NO, IT'S TIME TO LOWER IT DOWN. HOLD ON.

OKAY, GUYS, PULL IT THIS WAY.

AS HE'S DETACHING FROM THE FOUR PIECES,

ALL THESE BIG SPIKES ARE STICKING UP AND DOWN BELOW.

ONE WRONG STEP AND HE'S GONNA BE A SHISKA-BEAR.

I'M GONNA GRAB AND TWIST.

AS SOON AS I DO,

THIS THING IS COMING STRAIGHT ON US.

BEAR, NO, NO.

- ONE... - BEAR.

...TWO, THREE.

MOVE, BIRD.

IT'S DOWN.

ALONG WITH HALF MY FINGER.

WHAT?

YEAH, IT TOOK OFF MOST OF MY FINGER.

HI, BABIES.

BEFORE LEAVING FOR COALVILLE,

SISTERS BIRD AND RAIN

COOLED OFF WITH THE FRUITS OF THEIR LABOR.

TODAY'S A REALLY HOT DAY

AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING A LOT ON THE ANIMALS,

SO BIRD AND I DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK

AND TRY AND MAKE SOME ICE CREAM.

I'M ACTUALLY REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS.

HOW MUCH?

I THINK I'M GONNA DO CHOCOLATE.

I'M GONNA DO VANILLA.

SUGAR?

THERE WE GO.

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO USE THE GOATS.

THE MORE WAYS WE CAN FIND TO USE THEM,

THE MORE WAYS THEY'RE USEFUL SO PEOPLE

WON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO EAT THEM.

OH. AAH.

OH, WOW.

HOW IS IT?

THAT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD.

THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED.

GUYS, I'M ON THE LAST ONE ON THIS SIDE,

SO KEEP YOUR HEADS UP AND PAY ATTENTION.

PULL, RAIN.

I THINK WE SHOULD MOVE, MAN.

THE DEMANDS OF THE BROWN FAMILY'S RANCH

HAVE GROWN FASTER THAN THEIR WATER SUPPLY CAN HANDLE,

BUT A WINDMILL CAN SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS

PUMPING WATER THROUGHOUT THEIR HOMESTEAD.

GET CLEAR, BEAR.

NO, IT'S TIME TO LOWER IT DOWN. HOLD ON.

BUT DISMANTLING IT WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE

HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE.

- BEAR... - OKAY, GUYS.

...COME TOWARDS ME RIGHT NOW.

MOVE, BIRD.

IT'S DOWN, ALONG WITH HALF MY FINGER.

- WHAT? - YEAH, IT'S PRETTY BAD.

WHEN YOU PLAY WITH FIRE, YOU GET BURNED.

TOOK OFF... MOST OF IT BY THE NAIL.

TOOK OFF MOST OF IT.

YOU GO CLEAN THAT UP

AND TIGHTEN THAT UP A LITTLE BETTER.

NO, LET'S GET THIS DONE FIRST.

WE GOT THIS.

BEAR INJURED HIS FINGER, AND IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY BAD.

WE WEREN'T LISTENING TO EACH OTHER

AND THAT'S WHY, LIKE, FROM HERE ON, WE HAVE TO,

BECAUSE IF WE KEEP GOING HOW WE ARE,

SOMEONE ELSE IS GONNA GET HURT.

I LOVE THE WHOLE

"YOU'RE JUST DOING IT YOURSELF" THING.

I THINK WE SHOULD RE-ASSESS.

THAT'S ABOUT THE RIGHT CONSISTENCY.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE TRYING TO DESCRIBE WHAT IT'S LIKE

TO HOLD A REAL GOLD VERSUS PYRITE OR FOOL'S GOLD.

ONCE YOU HOLD A REAL, YOU KNOW.

IT'S A REALLY GOOD FEELING TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING

LIKE FINISHING THIS CEMENT MIXER.

I'M DEFINITELY HAPPY WITH IT.

GIVEN THE WEIGHT OF THE CONCRETE,

THIS PROBABLY IS A GOOD AMOUNT TO TAKE PER TRIP.

YOU JUST FILL YOUR TROUGH WITH IT, GO, HEAD BACK

AND COME BACK TO GET MORE.

HEY, MAN.

FIRST WE'LL FILL THE HOLES IN,

THEN WE'LL WORRY ABOUT GETTING IT UP TO THE TOP.

NOW I ADMIT, THOUGH WE COULD FINISH THIS TASK,

JUST MIXING IT IN BUCKETS

OR INTO THE WHEELBARROW LIKE WE HAVE BEEN,

IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A CEMENT MIXER.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO NOT ONLY WORK OUT

FOR THIS PROJECT,

BUT A LOT OF PROJECTS ON THE RANCH.

WE'RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE, MAN.

LET'S FINISH THIS OFF BOTH OF THESE HOLES,

SO NOT INCLUDING THE TOP PORTION.

WE'RE MORE THAN HALFWAY THERE.

I'LL SMOOTH THAT OUT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE US SOME MORE.

OKAY.

LET'S GET THE NEXT LINE. THIS IS BARELY ON, GUYS.

THE BROWNS' NEW WINDMILL IS NEARLY DISASSEMBLED.

WE'RE HALF DOWN, HALF TO GO.

AFTER APPLYING A BUSH BANDAGE,

BROTHER BEAR IS PUSHING THROUGH THE JOB.

"X" MARKS THE STREAM.

NONE OF US

ARE PROFESSIONAL WINDMILL DIS-ASSEMBLERS.

AND SO WE'RE JUST GOING AT THIS THE BEST WAY THAT WE KNOW HOW.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

IT'S WEDGED. THERE'S A LOT OF TORQUE

AND THAT'S GONNA SEND IT YOUR WAY.

SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

THINGS COULD DEFINITELY GO SIDEWAYS ON US.

WHAT I'M GONNA DO RIGHT NOW IS TAP OUT THE FINAL SCREWS.

AS SOON AS I DO, IT'S GOING.

SO Y'ALL GUYS, GET YOUR MOVES ON,

RUN THAT WAY AND THEN DROP THE ROPES.

DON'T LOOK BACK.

AND GO.

WHOO! THAT'S TEAMWORK.

THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT.

I FELT LIKE IT WAS GONNA GET ON TOP OF ME.

GET THE JOB DONE.

WITH TEAMWORK, PERSISTENCE AND A LOT OF AWESOME.

YAY.

TO BE HONEST, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I CAN MOVE THAT FAST.

FOR A MINUTE I THOUGHT I WAS JUST GONNA START FLYING.

YEAH, FLAP THOSE WINGS, BIRDY.

COME ON. LET'S DO IT AS A TEAM.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

WE HAVE NEVER IN OUR LIVES

DONE SOMETHING THE WAY THAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE DONE

AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY THAT WE ARE.

BUT HONESTLY, I THINK THAT YOU DO LEARN MORE THAT WAY.

EVERYBODY GRAB SOME WRENCHES,

GET THIS DONE AND LET'S GET IT HAULED OUT.

ANYTHING LIKE THE WINDMILL

THAT'S HARD BRINGS US CLOSER TOGETHER.

IN THE PAST, IF WE DIDN'T HAVE CHALLENGES

THAT WE HAD TO WORK THROUGH TOGETHER,

WE WOULD NEVER HAVE LEARNED TO WORK AS A TEAM.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE ALL WORKED

TOGETHER LIKE THAT.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF ANOTHER CHALLENGE

TO JUST REMIND US, YEAH, WE NEED EACH OTHER.

BE SURE TO GET THE CORNER REALLY GOOD.

IF WE GET THE WINDMILL,

TO ME, THAT'S KIND OF PHASE ONE OVER.

NOW I'M THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IN PHASE TWO,

BECAUSE ACTUALLY IT'S GONNA GET BIGGER AND BETTER.

WE'RE STARTING TO DREAM HERE.

I AM MORE CONFIDENT NOW THAN EVER.

IF WE CAN GET IT UP THERE AND GET IT WORKING RIGHT...

- YEAH. - ...WE'RE GONNA BE FINE.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE HEART, MAN.

IT'S THE HEART OF THE RANCH NOW.

WE CAN FINALLY GET SOME GARDENS STARTED.

I KNOW, BABY, WE WILL.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE"...

THESE THINGS ARE ENORMOUS.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING? ARE THEY MATING?

...THE BROWNS TAKE ON WHAT MAY BE THEIR WILDEST ENDEAVOR YET.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS.

HOLD STILL, DON'T FREAK HIM OUT.

BUT THE RANCH MAY BE MORE THAN THE FAMILY CAN HANDLE...

- JUST TAKE IT DOWN. - WHAT'S THE ISSUE?

THE ISSUE IS I'M TOO FAR UP.

...AS THEIR OWN LIVESTOCK PUTS THEM UNDER ATTACK.

-THEY'RE, LIKE, ALL OVER,

AND THEY'RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE.

GET OUT OF HERE! SHOOK!

-THE WOLF PACK MUST RISE TO THE OCCASION...

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW WE MAKE THAT MOTOR UP THERE.

...TO KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE.

- AAH! WHAT IS HE DOING?

AAH!
