THIS IS GOING TO BE CRAZY PROBABLY, ISN'T IT?

IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE CRAZY.

ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS I AM?

NO, NOBODY'S AS EXCITED AS YOU ARE.

I THINK I SEE ONE!

OH, MY GOODNESS.

SPRING HAS ARRIVED ON THE BROWNS' 400-ACRE

HOMESTEAD IN THE MOUNTAINS OF WASHINGTON STATE.

OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE FAMILY HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK

EXPANDING THEIR ENORMOUS RANCH AT 4,000 FEET.

- CLOSE THE GATE. - LOOK AT THAT!

THE PROPERTY IS FILLED WITH CLOSE TO 100 ANIMALS,

INCLUDING DOZENS OF CHICKENS, TURKEYS,

AND HERDS OF LONGHORNS, HORSES, GOATS, AND RABBITS.

I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT ALL HAVING A RANCH ENTAILED.

HEY, DON'T LET THEM GO PAST YOU.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY, IT HASN'T BEEN EASY,

AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY EASIER

THE FURTHER ALONG THE RANCH GETS.

TO ACTUALLY BUILD A RANCH THIS SIZE

AND TO DO ALL THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO DO,

WE KNEW WE WERE BITING OFF A BIG ONE.

OKAY, GUYS, COME ON OUT.

BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE

AS LONG AS WE STICK TOGETHER.

NO, DON'T SPILL IT!

OH, DON'T POOP!

AFTER THE WOLF PACK'S BIGGEST ACQUISITION TO DATE...

ONE, TWO, THREE.

...A MASSIVE WINDMILL THAT WILL PROVIDE A WATER SYSTEM

FOR THE NEXT STAGE OF GROWTH ON THE MOUNTAIN,

THE RANCH IS EXPANDING EVEN FURTHER

WITH A NEW BREED OF LIVESTOCK.

I'LL LET YOU DIRECT HIM.

YEAH, LET DAD DO THE DIRECTING.

IT'S A PRETTY BIG INVESTMENT WE'VE GOT IN THEM,

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

SO I KNEW IT WAS IMPERATIVE TO GET EVERYTHING DONE

AND DO IT RIGHT BEFORE THEY GOT THERE.

AS BILL AND MARGARET FULLER

DELIVER THE NEW ANIMALS FROM TEXAS,

THE WOLF PACK HAS BEEN BUSY PREPARING

FOR THE MOMENTOUS EVENT, CONSTRUCTING A SPECIAL ENCLOSURE

WHERE THE ANIMALS WILL BE HOUSED.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

ANY TIME WE'RE WAITING FOR A NEW ANIMAL TO ARRIVE,

I'M ALWAYS REALLY EXCITED.

SOMETHING THAT I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I'D EVEN SEE,

MUCH LESS WE'D OWN.

OH, THEY'RE LAYING DOWN AND THEY'RE SO CUTE!

♪♪

BACK UP. OKAY.

HELLO!

I ALWAYS KNOW NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE ANY ANIMAL.

THEY'RE VERY POWERFUL,

THEY COULD DEFINITELY DO A LOT OF DAMAGE.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING? ARE THEY MATING?

- HEY, GABEY? - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

IF HE'S DOING THAT, I THINK HE MIGHT WANT YOU

TO LEAVE HIM THE HECK ALONE. I THINK HE LIKES ME.

GABE, BACK UP, MAN.

THESE THINGS ARE ENORMOUS!

SO PREHISTORIC AND MAJESTIC. IT'S JUST LIKE, WOW!

HE'S TRYING, HE LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO COME OUT.

COME ON.

COME ON. COME HERE.

HOLD STILL, DON'T FREAK HIM OUT.

THERE WE GO. HEY, BIG BOY.

HOLY DOG MESS.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS.

GOOD BOY!

GOOD BOY.

THERE YOU GO, BUDDY.

I WANTED OSTRICHES FOR THE SIMPLE REASON

THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE MONEY BEFORE THE CATTLE

OR THE HORSES DO, FROM THEIR EGGS TO THEIR OIL

TO THEIR FEATHERS TO EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM.

THERE WAS NO DOWNSIDE TO AN OSTRICH.

DO THEY FLY?

NO, GABE. THANK THE LORD THEY DON'T FLY.

I REMEMBER WHEN DAD FIRST SAID THAT HE'S BUYING SOME OSTRICHES,

I'M WAS LIKE, "GOOD JOKE."

BUT NO, HE'S SERIOUS, WE HAVE OSTRICHES.

THERE YOU GO.

LOOK AT HER.

I'LL JUST KIND OF STAY OVER HERE.

COME ON, IT'S TIME TO GO TO YOUR HOME.

GABEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

OSTRICHES ARE PRETTY SCARY AND IT'S REALLY NERVE RACKING

TO HAVE PEOPLE JUST TOUCHING THEM

AND GOING INTO THE TRAILER WITH THEM.

COME ON, COME ON.

LET'S GO. IT'S OKAY.

WALK OUT, GABE, AND SHE'LL WALK OUT WITH YOU.

GABE, IF SHE KICKS THAT WAY I THINK --

HE'S GOT HER, HE'S GOT HER, BABE.

WRANGLING AN OSTRICH.

SO BILL, HOW WAS IT?

OH, IT'S TOUGH.

IS THIS ONE OF THE CRAZIEST THINGS HE'S EVER HAD YOU DO?

OH, MY GOD, YES.

OH, YEAH, WITHOUT A DOUBT. I THOUGHT SO.

WITHOUT A DOUBT. I THOUGHT SO.

WE GOT A SURPRISE FOR Y'ALL.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

IS THAT AN OSTRICH EGG?

I'M HOPING THAT WITH TWO FEMALES AND THE ONE MALE,

THE OSTRICH IS GOING TO GIVE US AN ACTUAL SMALL INCOME,

BECAUSE THE WHOLE POINT TO THE RANCH

IS TO HAVE WHATEVER YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU,

IT FEEDS ITSELF AND GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA FOR YOU.

I THINK THEY MIGHT MAKE US MORE MONEY

FOR THE RANCH THAN ANYTHING WE'VE GOT RIGHT NOW.

OH, MY GOSH, YES.

WE SHOULD HAVE LIKE 50 OR 60 EGGS BY DECEMBER.

IT MEANS THAT EVERYTHING WE DO, WE HAVE TO DO MORE THE NEXT DAY.

IT'S GOING SO FAST

THAT I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO GET TO A POINT

WHERE IT IS REALLY GOING TO BE HARD TO KEEP UP WITH IT,

BUT I'M LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

THEY'VE HAD A LONG ROAD. PULL THEM UP.

YOU GOT WATER AND FEED OUT THERE?

I WILL. FEED'S OUT THERE, I'LL GET WATER.

THE RANCH ISN'T STOPPING AT COWS, YOU KNOW?

THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG, WORKING RANGE.

AND IF DAD SAYS WE SHOULD GO WITH OSTRICHES,

I SAY LET'S GO WITH OSTRICHES. AND THEY LOOK REALLY COOL.

HAPPY OSTRICHES.

HE'S A BEAUTIFUL BIRD.

BOY, HE IS.

WHAT A PERFECT DAY.

HIS FIRST EXPERIENCES WITH WATER.

DOWN MOUNTAIN, BROTHER NOAH

IS FACING A CHALLENGE OF HIS OWN --

SPENDING SOME QUALITY TIME WITH HIS WIFE,

RHAIN ALICIA, AND BABY ELI BEFORE RETURNING TO THE MOUNTAIN

WHERE HE'S SETTING UP THEIR FUTURE FAMILY HOME.

IT'S BEEN A COUPLE MONTHS SINCE ELI WAS BORN

AND ELI AND RHAIN ARE STAYING DOWN IN TOWN

AS OPPOSED TO STAYING ON THE MOUNTAIN.

FOR NEARLY A YEAR,

NOAH HAS BEEN PLANNING TO BUILD A MASSIVE CASTLE

ON THE BROWNS' MOUNTAIN, BUT PERMITS AND BUILDING ISSUES

HAVE BROUGHT HIS PROJECT TO A STANDSTILL.

AS AN IMMEDIATE ALTERNATIVE,

NOAH HAS PLANNED TO CONVERT HIS MASH TENT

INTO A HOME FOR HIS WIFE AND NEWBORN CHILD.

MARSHMALLOWS, SOME CHOCOLATE, SOME CRACKERS.

THE MASH TENT ISN'T SUITABLE TO HAVE A CHILD IN IT.

IT ISN'T SECURE ENOUGH.

I THINK WITH ALL THE BABY THINGS, AS WELL,

THAT HE'S GOING TO NEED WHEN HE STARTS GETTING BIGGER,

THERE JUST ISN'T THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SPACE.

IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR ME TO GET THEM UP THE MOUNTAIN

WITH ME EVERY DAY

BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO ELI AND MY FAMILY,

I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING.

WELL, HE'S ASLEEP, AND YEAH, I SHOULD GO GET TO WORK.

I KNOW YOU NEED TO WORK. I HAVE A LOT I NEED TO DO.

THANKS. IT WAS A GOOD MORNING.

I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT.

OH, YEAH.

I DON'T REMEMBER IT BEING SO MANY PIECES.

IT'S LIKE A PUZZLE, YOU JUST HAVE TO PIECE IT TOGETHER.

FURTHER UP THE MOUNTAIN, SISTER BIRD AND BROTHER BAM

PREPARE TO TACKLE ONE OF THE FAMILY'S

BIGGEST PROJECTS EVER -- REASSEMBLING THE GIANT WINDMILL

THEY'VE ACQUIRED TO PUMP WATER THROUGHOUT THE RANCH.

THERE'S 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 OF GROWING THE RANCH.

AS LONG AS IT'S PUMPING EVERY DAY,

IT KEEPS EVERYTHING VIABLE.

I'LL TOSS IT OUT OF THE TRAILER, YOU LINE THEM UP.

REASSEMBLING THE WINDMILL, IT'S DEFINITELY A BIG JOB.

WE TOOK IT DOWN SO WELL. I'M CONFIDENT

THAT WE CAN PUT IT UP JUST AS GOOD, AND IN THE END,

IT'LL BRING US WATER.

DID Y'ALL HAPPEN TO TAKE ANY PICTURES OF IT

WHILE IT WAS FULLY TOGETHER?

IT'S A WINDMILL. HOW DIFFERENT ARE WINDMILLS?

IT'S THE SAME AS ANY OTHER WINDMILL, JUST A LITTLE OLDER.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, WE'RE TRYING TO PUT THE WINDMILL BACK TOGETHER

AND THEY DIDN'T MAKE ANY EFFORT WHATSOEVER

TO LABEL ANY OF THE PIECES.

THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A PHOTO OF WHAT THE WINDMILL LOOKED LIKE

WHEN IT WAS FULLY ASSEMBLED. WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY

IF THEY JUST PUT MASKING TAPE OVER IT AND WROTE WHAT IT WAS.

ARE THESE IN HERE IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER?

YOU HAVE NO IDEA, DO YOU?

HEY, YOU DIDN'T EVEN LET ME ANSWER.

HEY, RE-ASK IT AND LET ME ANSWER.

WELL, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M EVEN ASKING.

ARE THESE IN HERE IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER?

NO, NOT REALLY.

IT'S PRETTY TYPICAL FOR BAM

TO BE UPTIGHT WHILE WORKING ON A PROJECT.

YOU NEED A REAL FRICKING LADDER,

NOT THIS THING THAT WEIGHS 14 TONS.

WATCH OUT.

GABEY, I COULD BE DECAPITATED OR MISSING DIGITS.

HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE GUY THAT LIKES IT TO BE DONE HIS WAY.

THIS IS WHERE IT IS. LIVE WITH IT.

BAM IS THE RESPECT THE DANGER GUY.

IF A BEAR IS CHARGING YOU

AND YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE OUT HERE,

YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.

HE'S ALWAYS THE GUY THAT KEEPS US ALL SAFE.

LIKING THE HARNESSES.

I THINK I HAVE IT, BAM.

IT GETS SMALLER AS IT GOES UP.

LET'S JUST TRY TO GET THE BOTTOM ON,

SEE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE.

BUILDING THIS RANCH IS DEFINITELY

THE HARDEST THING WE'VE EVER DONE.

THERE ARE SO MANY OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME,

AND THAT'S WHY WE ALWAYS HAVE TO REMEMBER

WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO ACCOMPLISH THINGS.

PUT THE CROSS-BRACES ON AND WE GO TWO MORE UP.

YEAH, CROSS-BRACES MAKE IT ALL HOLD TOGETHER,

AND THEN JUST KEEP CLIMBING UP.

IT'S THE BEGINNING OF OUR WINDMILL.

OKAY, GUYS, I'M JUST GOING TO SIT ON MY BED AND MAKE THIS,

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY TIPS, JUST YELL IT AT ME.

EAGER TO SOOTHE THE ANXIOUS OSTRICHES,

SNOWBIRD DEVISES A UNIQUE WAY TO BOND

AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE NEW ARRIVALS.

GABE AND I WERE ACTUALLY TOYING WITH A COUPLE NAMES

FOR THE OSTRICHES.

WE WANTED TO CALL ONE OF THE GIRLS SOUTHERN BELLE,

AND THEN THE OTHER ONE SEYMOUR LEGS.

I JUST TAKE MY TIME.

I THINK I'LL DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO WIN THEIR TRUST.

I THINK IT'S LOOKING PRETTY GOOD.

HOW'S IT LOOK, GUYS?

THIS IS AN OSTRICH HEADDRESS.

IT'S JUST TO HELP ME COMMUNICATE WITH THE OSTRICHES

TO MAKE THEM FEEL COMFORTABLE AROUND ME.

IT MAKES ME KIND OF LOOK LIKE THEM,

SMELL A BIT MORE LIKE THEM, AND JUST LET THEM KNOW I'M OKAY.

HI, SEYMOUR LEGS.

HI, YOU.

YOU LIKE MY HEADBAND?

OH, YOU LIKE IT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

AS SOON AS I PUT THIS HEADDRESS ON,

IT'S JUST LIKE A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF OSTRICH JUST OPENED UP TO ME.

I DON'T KNOW, IT'S LIKE THERE'S SOME KIND OF OSTRICH MAGIC

IN THE HEADDRESS.

YOU'RE A FRIENDLY ONE, SEYMOUR.

I THINK YOU AND I ARE GOING TO BE BFFs.

WELL, ACTUALLY, SEYMOUR, COULD YOU PUT IN A GOOD WORD

FOR ME WITH THE OTHER GUYS?

YEAH, TELL HER. THAT'S RIGHT.

DID YOU HEAR IT, SOUTHERN BELLE? YEAH, I'M NICE.

I ALWAYS TRY AND INTERACT WITH THE ANIMALS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

I WANT TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS IS YOUR NEW HOME.

I'M YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SAFE HERE.

♪♪

LAST STRETCH.

BROTHER NOAH TAKES THE ONE-HOUR TRIP UP THE MOUNTAIN,

EXCITED TO GET TO WORK ON EXTENDING HIS MASH TENT.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT THE MASH TENT

IS READY TO BE MOVED INTO.

WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE SOME ADD-ONS,

MAYBE A SOLID ADD-ON ROOM, AND FIX IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

SOMETHING SAFER FOR HIM.

BUT NOAH IS IN FOR AN UNWELCOME SURPRISE.

DARN.

WHILE NOAH WAS DOWN MOUNTAIN WITH HIS FAMILY,

A ROGUE BEAR RAVAGED HIS MASH TENT.

IT LOOKS LIKE A BEAR MUST'VE HAD SOME FUN.

WALKING IN AND SEEING THAT A BEAR HAS GONE THROUGH THE WALL

AND TORN UP THE PLACE,

IT JUST KIND OF SETS IN HOW MUCH WE NEED TO REINFORCE THE TENT.

IT'S JUST NOT SAFE ENOUGH.

THIS DEFINITELY WASN'T THE WELCOME HOME

I WAS WANTING WHEN WE GOT BACK TO THE MOUNTAIN.

WHAT A MESS.

THE ODDS ARE GOOD THAT HE'LL COME BACK,

ESPECIALLY SINCE HE FOUND STUFF THAT CLEARLY HE LIKED.

I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO STOP HIM.

-COMING UP...

...A FAMILIAR THREAT INCHES

CLOSER TO THE BROWNS' NEWEST ADDITION TO NORTH STAR RANCH.

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

OVERNIGHT, THE BROWNS' NEW OSTRICHES

HAVE BECOME UNEXPECTED BAIT FOR A BEAR AND HER CUBS,

WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE PEN.

BUT SISTER BIRD IS FIGHTING BACK.

IT'S GETTING OUT OF HAND BECAUSE THEY'RE, LIKE, ALL OVER,

AND THEY'RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE.

THERE YOU ARE.

GET!

GO!

GET OUT OF HERE! GO!

DON'T GET NEAR MY ANIMALS.

I THINK HE WENT UP TO THOSE TREES.

HE WAS PRETTY SPOOKED, I THINK.

YOU CAN TELL THEY REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN THAT MANY HUMANS.

ESPECIALLY IF THERE'S ONE, THAT MEANS

ODDS ARE GOOD THAT THEY'RE AROUND HERE.

THE BEAR PICKED THE WORST SPOT HE COULD.

RIGHT NOW, I'M PRETTY MUCH IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING.

THE BARN IS JUST RIGHT DOWN THERE.

AND THE OSTRICHES ARE LITERALLY RIGHT OVER THERE.

THEY JUST NEED TO GET THE HINT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

YEAH, THAT WAS THAT KICK.

THAT WAS A CLEAR KICK FROM THE INSIDE RIGHT HERE.

JUST DOWN THE HILL, BROTHER BEAR EXAMINES DAMAGE

TO THE OSTRICHES' ENCLOSURE.

PROBABLY AN OSTRICH KICKED THIS,

'CAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING ON THE OUTSIDE,

BECAUSE THEY'RE FAIRLY AGGRESSIVE ACTUALLY,

ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE, LIKE, DEFENDING THEIR AREA.

I DON'T WANT TO SPOOK THEM OR AGITATE THEM,

SO I'M WORKING MY WAY SLOWLY.

HEY THERE.

THEY HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN LAYING,

AND I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE OF ALL PREDATORS IN THE AREA.

THEY JUST DON'T FEEL SAFE ENOUGH TO LAY ANY EGGS.

THIS IS COMPLETELY OPEN, ENTIRELY.

KIND OF LIKE ALMOST THEY'RE IN A FISHBOWL.

WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE EVEN ONE OSTRICH RIGHT NOW.

WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT PREDATORS

ARE NOT BOTHERING THEM.

EAGER TO DETER THE CURIOUS PREDATORS,

BEAR COMES UP WITH HIS OWN SOLUTION, HONED IN ALASKA.

JUST TO BASICALLY STOP THE LURKING ANIMALS,

SPREADING OUT A LITTLE BIT OF FIERY FAIRY DUST --

PEPPER!

BASICALLY, THIS IS THE MOST NATURAL

AND SIMPLEST FORM OF BEAR SPRAY.

IT'S ALL THE BEAR SPRAY WITHOUT THE ACTUAL SPRAY PART.

IT'S THE SAME STUFF, BUT JUST IN POWDER FORM.

THE ANIMALS ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF THE RANCH ITSELF.

WITHOUT THE ANIMALS, THEN THERE IS NO RANCH.

AND SO, YEAH, WE HAVE A TON INVESTED IN THEM FOR SURE,

AND WE CAN'T REALLY AFFORD TO LOSE ANY.

THEY'LL LET YOU BE, NOW, OSTRICHES.

GO AHEAD. LAY SOME EGGS.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S KIND OF COOL?

THIS RIGHT HERE HAS BEEN OUR AREA SINCE WE GOT HERE.

THAT TIME WE WALKED IT BY OURSELF.

EVERY TIME WE DO, WE'VE LIVED HERE.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

AS THE REST OF THE FAMILY FORTIFIES THE RANCH

AGAINST THE LURKING PREDATORS, AMI AND FATHER BILLY

PREPARE FOR THE FAMILY'S BIGGEST MOMENT

TO DATE ON THE MOUNTAIN --

BROTHER GABE'S WEDDING.

ARE YOU NERVOUS? I'M KIND OF NERVOUS FOR GABEY.

THE SAME HERE.

SINCE GABE WAS PROBABLY 4 YEARS OLD,

PLAYING WITH THE CHAINSAW, HE HAS WANTED TO BUILD A HOUSE

AND CARRY HIM A BRIDE ACROSS THAT THRESHOLD.

I BELONG IN VENICE.

GABE HADN'T HAD A LOT OF GIRLFRIENDS.

HE'S NEVER TAKEN TIME FOR THAT.

FIRST IT WAS BUGS, AND THEN IT WAS BRANCHES.

I DON'T ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THIS.

HE WAS USUALLY HAULING SOMETHING HEAVY,

AND HEADING FOR THE BOAT OR HEADING FOR THE CAMP.

IF SHE TURNED HIS HEAD AND MADE HIM THINK LIKE THAT,

SHE HAD TO BE A GOOD GAL.

I LIKE IT HERE, AND I REALLY LIKE YOU.

KNOWING YOUR CHILD'S GOING TO GO THROUGH

THAT MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN LIFE,

THAT WILL LEAD HIM ON TO HIS HOME DEVELOPMENT

OF FAMILY TREASURES, IT'S JOY, HAPPINESS.

I MEAN, THAT'S ALL I'VE EVER HEARD GABE TALK ABOUT.

HE WANTS A WIFE, HE WANTS A BUNCH OF KIDS.

HE WANTS TO BUILD A CABIN.

SEEMED LIKE IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET HERE,

BUT NOW THAT IT'S HERE, IT'S LIKE IT'S TOO QUICK.

I KNOW. IS THAT THE SAME WAY WITH YOU?

IT'S LIKE A COUPLE -- THREE HOURS AWAY.

WE'RE ALREADY DRESSED FOR THE THING.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

AND HOPEFULLY IT'S THE FIRST OF MANY WEDDINGS TO HAVE HERE.

SO, A BEAR ACTUALLY TORE THROUGH THE BACK END.

YOUR PLACE HERE? YEAH, TRASHED IT.

TODAY, BEAR IS HELPING ME TRY TO MAKE SURE

THAT THE MASH TENT IS PROTECTED AGAINST THE BEAR.

I'VE MADE ALL SORTS OF BEAR DETERRENTS,

SO THIS TIME I JUST WANT SOMETHING QUICK AND EASY.

IT RIPPED OUT THE STRAIGHT LINE COMING DOWN

AND IT ALSO TORE OUT THE WINDOW MATERIAL.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT USING THE OLD WELCOME MAT TYPE THING,

EXCEPT ON THE GROUND, PUTTING IT PROPPED UP AGAINST THE TENT.

OKAY, NOW WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?

JUST GOING TO MAKE A COUPLE SPIKE ROWS.

JUST SOMETHING SO THAT IF HE TRIES TO PUSH ON IT,

IT'LL POKE HIS SHOULDER.

NOAH IS WANTING TO USE SPIKED BOARDS

IN ORDER FOR A BEAR DETERRENT.

I'M NOT DOWN WITH THAT, THOUGH.

WITH HAVING A SPIKED BOARD, IMAGINE LAYING ON A BOARD

AND THEN SLAPPING YOUR HANDS

AND FEET DOWN ON THAT BOARD AS HARD AS YOU CAN.

I JUST WANT TO KEEP IT 100% LEGIT.

I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD INJURE THE BEAR.

SO, I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT PUTTING IT ON THE SIDE

OF THE WALL, TO BE HONEST.

BECAUSE EVEN HE MIGHT LEAN AGAINST IT, HE'D GET STABBED.

THAT'S THE POINT.

NOTHING COMES THROUGH THE WALL

TO TRY TO GET MY FAMILY.

NOW THAT I'M A DAD, IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR ME

TO PROTECT MY WIFE AND CHILD.

THE WAY I DO IT, YOU SCREW IT TO A WALL.

YOU ONLY GET POKED IF YOU'RE TRYING TO ENTER.

BUT BEAR, HE DOESN'T LIKE IT.

HE DOESN'T LIKE THE IDEA.

IF YOU CAN COME UP WITH A BETTER ALTERNATIVE, OKAY.

IF NOT, I'M SPIKING HIM.

WE NEVER HAVE USED THAT METHOD

BECAUSE IT IS CRUEL TO THE BEARS.

THERE ARE TOO MANY OTHER WAYS TO DETER THEM.

MAYBE RUN A STRIP OF YOUR CHICKEN WIRE

THROUGH IT AND ELECTRIFY IT.

ELECTRICITY'S BETTER THAN BEING STABBED?

YES, BECAUSE IT'S NOT CAUSING ANY BLOOD.

I'LL BRING CHICKEN WIRE AND YOU CAN HOOK IT UP.

JUST ONE STRIP ON THE BACK WILL DO VIRTUALLY

THE EXACT SAME THING AS THESE, BUT MORE HUMANE.

OKAY, LET'S BUILD THE FRAME.

WE'LL PUT IT UP AND WE CAN TRY ELECTRIFYING IT.

IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THOUGH, I'M SPIKING IT.

OKAY.

THIS ELECTRIC WALL THING WILL WORK

AND IT WILL DETER THE BEARS. AND YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER

THAT YOU'RE BECOMING A PART OF THE FOREST

BECAUSE THOSE BEARS HAVE RIGHTS, TOO.

THEY HAVE FAMILIES, TOO, AND THEY HAVE THEIR LIVES.

OKAY, THAT SHOULD PRETTY MUCH DO IT.

IF WE JUST THROW THAT CHICKEN WIRE UP ON IT, YOU ELECTRIFY IT,

AND IT SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE OF A SHOCKING EXPERIENCE FOR IT.

THE ELECTRICITY WILL WORK BETTER THAN THE SPIKES.

MORE SHOCK AND AWE.

YOU'RE NOT AFRAID OF HEIGHTS, ARE YOU?

NO, JUST THE SUDDEN STOP AT THE END.

THIS THING DOES NOT FEEL INCREDIBLY STURDY.

DESPITE THE RECENT PREDATOR ATTACKS,

WATER REMAINS THE RANCH'S FIRST PRIORITY

AS BAM AND SISTER, BIRD, SCALE THE RICKETY WINDMILL

IN AN ATTEMPT TO REBUILD ITS FRAME.

YOU SURE THIS IS NOT GOING TO TIP OVER?

IT FEELS A LITTLE BIT LIKE IT'S GOING TO TIP OVER.

I'M GOING TO HOPE IT WON'T.

FEELS LIKE IT'S GONNA FALL OVER.

BIRDIE AND I, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE WINDMILL

FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW. WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT BUILT UP

AS FAR AS WE CAN BEFORE NEEDING TO BRING ANYBODY ELSE IN.

I'M ON THE ONE METAL BRACE,

AND I PUT A LITTLE BIT OF MY WEIGHT ON IT.

I CAN JUST FEEL IT START TO GIVE.

THIS DOES NOT FEEL STURDY TO ME.

NOW, AS WE CLIMB UP THE WINDMILL,

WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF SCAFFOLDING

OR A PROPER LADDER EVEN.

YEAH, I NEED THE SOCKET, THOUGH.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE UP HERE WITH TWO WRENCHES.

HOW AM I GOING TO DO THAT?

THERE'S DEFINITELY A WAY TO CONTINUE TO WORK,

WORK AS FAST AS YOU CAN, AS EFFICIENTLY AS YOU CAN,

BUT THEN NOT BECOME RECKLESS. IT'S A FINE LINE.

IT'S A LINE THAT I CAN'T SAY ALL MY SIBLINGS

ALWAYS KNOW WHERE THAT LINE IS.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO UP ANOTHER TIER?

YEAH. THERE'S NO FRICKING WAY.

YEAH, THERE IS.

BAM AND I DEFINITELY HAVE A DIFFERENT WAY OF WORKING.

IF THINGS AREN'T DONE A SPECIFIC WAY,

A LOT OF THE TIME IT'S A LITTLE UPSETTING TO HIM.

IT'S NOT GOING THROUGH.

FIT THROUGH HERE.

NO, IT DOESN'T FIT. PULL IT OUT A LITTLE BIT.

NO, OUT. THE ISSUE IS I'M TOO FAR UP,

HANGING ON WITH ONE ARM AND A FOOT ON SOMETHING

THAT'S POSSIBLY GOING TO BREAK IN HALF AT ANY SECOND.

I'D SAY SAFETY IS FAIRLY IMPORTANT TO ME

BECAUSE I LIKE BEING ALIVE. I LIKE NOT BEING CRIPPLED.

MAIN THING, WE NEED LONGER LADDERS

BECAUSE THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT PEOPLE DO.

THEY DON'T CLIMB ON IT LIKE MORONS ON THE OUTSIDE,

TRY AND PUT IT TOGETHER WHILE THEY'RE HOLDING ONTO

WHAT THEY'RE BUILDING.

I MEAN, I WANT TO AGREE WITH YOU THAT WE NEED MORE PEOPLE,

BUT I'M NOT GOING TO AGREE THAT IT'S A MORON MOVE

TO CLIMB ON IT.

WE DON'T DO THINGS TRADITIONALLY.

WE DON'T DO THEM NECESSARILY HOW THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE.

WITH BAM, HE LIKES IT TO BE DONE HIS WAY.

PERSONALLY, I DON'T LIKE TO BE PARALYZED.

I THINK IT'S INSANE THAT Y'ALL PLAN ON SOMEONE

GETTING ANOTHER TIER UP FURTHER THAN THIS.

HOW ABOUT MELLOW OUT, BAM? YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE HERE.

LEAVE. ANY OF THE OTHER GUYS WILL DO IT.

I MEAN, I'M JUST DONE FOR THE DAY.

LEAVE. NOBODY CARES.

ALL RIGHT. I'M DONE.

♪♪

HEY, GUYS. REALLY NEED SOME BEDS.

-BIRD AND GABE MAKE THE OSTRICHES FEEL AT HOME

WITH A SPECIAL NEST.

IF I WERE AN OSTRICH I WOULD SLEEP HERE.

AND LATER ON...

WE NEED TO TAKE IT DOWN AND WE NEED TO RE-TIE IT.

...THE BROWNS TACKLE THE TOUGHEST TASK

YET IN THEIR WINDMILL BUILD.

- BRING US BACK DOWN. BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE.

YOU'RE WASTING TIME. BRING US DOWN.

HEY, GUYS.

I HAVE FOOD. WE'RE NICE.

AS THE WOLF PACK WORKS TO KEEP UP

WITH THE EVER EXPANDING RANCH,

GABE AND BIRD TRY TO HELP THE NEW OSTRICHES SETTLE IN.

I THINK I FIGURED OUT WHAT NOISE THEY MAKE.

I GUESS THAT THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO OSTRICH REPRODUCING.

THEY WON'T JUST LAY THEIR EGGS ANYWHERE.

THEY NEED A SAFE NEST TO DO IT IN.

SO BIRD AND I GOT TO MAKE LITTLE OSTRICH BEDS.

HEY, GUYS.

WE'RE BUILDING YOU SOME BEDS.

YEAH, SO YOU CAN LAY LITTLE OSTRICHES.

YOU KNOW, IF THE OSTRICH BUSINESS IS GOING TO WORK OUT,

WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CARE FOR THEM.

AND THAT MEANS MORE THAN JUST, LIKE, THROWING IN SOME FOOD.

LIKE, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET IN THERE.

YOU THINK THE COLORS I'M WEARING,

THEY THINK I'M LIKE A DOUBLE-HEADED OSTRICH?

ONE APPROACH YOU CAN TAKE WITH ANY ANIMAL

IS PRETEND LIKE YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.

SO I'M PRACTICING THIS.

COME ON OVER.

YOUR BED'S ALMOST MADE.

"IT IS?"

WHY, YES, IT IS.

IN ORDER TO BUILD THE OSTRICHES A BED,

THE BROWNS DIG A SIX-BY-SIX HOLE,

WHICH THEY WILL COVER WITH OVER 200 POUNDS OF SAND.

HE'S POSTURING.

JUST DIG THIS SIDE WHILE HE EATS.

THESE OSTRICHES ARE ACTUALLY REALLY COOL,

BUT THEY'RE ALSO REALLY DANGEROUS.

SHE BEHIND ME? YEAH.

DON'T LET HER KICK ME. I WON'T.

I UNDERSTAND NOW THEY CAN KILL A LION WITH A KICK,

AND I'M PROBABLY NOT AS STRONG AS A LION,

SO I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET KICKED BY ONE.

SO WE'RE REALLY HAVING TO WATCH WHAT WE'RE DOING.

THEY'RE CUTE, I KNOW,

BUT STILL, JUST LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THOSE DRUM LEGS.

DEFINITELY ON GUARD.

OKAY, DO YOU THINK IT'S GOOD? FILL IT WITH SOME SAND.

HERE COMES THE SANDMAN. GET READY FOR NAP TIME.

I WANT TO GAIN THEIR TRUST SO THEY DON'T HURT ME

AND SO THEY'RE COMFORTABLE.

- YOU POUR, I'LL SPREAD. - SOUNDS GOOD.

YOU GOT YOUR BEDDING.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE AN OSTRICH HOTEL.

KIND OF ARE.

LIKE AND OSTRICH BED AND BREAKFAST.

SPEAKING OF BREAKFAST,

I CAN HARDLY WAIT UNTIL THEY LAY ANOTHER EGG.

THEY'RE SO BIG.

I'M JUST THINKING OF ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS

I'M GOING TO EAT THEM.

OSTRICHES, THEIR JOB'S LAYING EGGS RIGHT NOW,

AND IF THEY CAN'T DO THAT,

THEY REALLY HAVE NO PLACE ON THE RANCH,

SO WE'RE ALL HOPING THAT THEY WORK OUT.

AHH.

YEAH, IF I WERE AN OSTRICH,

I WOULD SLEEP HERE AND LAY AND EGG.

OOOSTRICH-TRICH-TRICH-TRICH.

O-OSTRICH!

OSTRICH.

SUCH A RUDE HOUSE GUEST.

CHICKEN WIRE IS A GOOD THING TO USE FOR ELECTRIC FENCES

BECAUSE ONE, IT'S CHEAP.

AND TWO, IT IS THIN ENOUGH THAN INSTEAD OF HAVING TO USE NAILS

I CAN JUST STAPLE IT TO WHERE I NEED TO PUT IT.

NOW THAT THE BEAR HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACTUALLY TEAR INTO THE TENT,

HE KNOWS THERE'S FOOD IN THE AREA.

SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO REESTABLISH THAT THIS AREA IS OURS.

I DEFINITELY EXPECT THE BEAR TO VISIT THE MASH TENT AGAIN,

BUT I DON'T EXPECT THEM TO LIKE THE VISIT.

THE MORE THAT THE ANIMALS IN THE NEARBY AREA

KNOW THAT THIS IS OUR AREA,

THE LESS PROBLEM WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WITH THEM

INVADING ON OUR TERRITORY WITH ELI HERE.

I SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO GO TO THE END OF THIS BOARD

BECAUSE THE BEAR DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE TENT ITSELF.

THE ONLY REASON IT WAS ABLE TO GET THROUGH IT WAS

BECAUSE HE JUMPED UP TO WHERE THE WINDOW WAS AND TORE DOWN.

I JUST WANT TO GET THE MASH TENT READY

TO GO AS SOON AS I CAN SO THAT RHAIN AND ELI

CAN MOVE UP THE MOUNTAIN.

I MISS THEM.

♪♪

NOW IT SHOULD BE BETTER FOR US.

THEY JUST WANT SOMEWHERE THEY FEEL SAFE AND COMFORTABLE

AND TAKEN CARE OF.

WE'LL GET THERE EVENTUALLY.

♪♪

OKAY, BEAR. I'M JUST GOING TO HANG AROUND TILL WE'RE READY.

OH, MY GOSH, BEAR.

WHAT? NOTHING.

I LIKE HEIGHTS.

YEAH, YOU DO, DON'T YOU?

BAM AND BIRD HAD DONE QUITE A BIT ON THAT WINDMILL,

BUT NOW I GOT CALLED IN.

BAM WENT AS HIGH AS HE WANTED TO ON THE WINDMILL.

HE DIDN'T REALLY FEEL COMFORTABLE GOING ANY FURTHER,

AND SO NOW WE'RE TRYING TO CATCH UP.

YOU GOT THIS.

I'M HOPING WE CAN GET IT DONE.

THE THING WITH THIS, BIRD, IT'S A TOTAL GAME OF BALANCE.

RIGHT.

ONE WRONG MOVE, COMES TUMBLING DOWN.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO DO IT. IT'S NOT X'd ENOUGH.

WE'RE NOW HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE WITH THE PIECES.

WE CANNOT QUITE GET THEM LINED UP RIGHT.

I WONDER IF THAT SHOULD'VE GONE UP HIGHER.

OH, I DO SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

IF THESE WERE UP THERE.

THEN IT WOULD FIT.

WELL, THIS WINDMILL IS A BIT OF AN EXTREME PUZZLE.

IT'S KIND OF SHAKY, IT'S BUILT UP HIGH,

AND A LOT OF THE PIECES NEED TO GO KIND OF IN SPECIFIC SPOTS.

YOU GOT IT?

ALMOST.

GET IN THERE. BREAK YOU OFF.

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

IT WAS THAT OR I'M GONNA BREAK IT OFF.

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW WE'LL MAKE IT THAT FAR UP THERE.

I KNOW.

BEAR AND I FINALLY FINISHING

THE ACTUAL TOWER PART OF THE WINDMILL,

AS HARD AS THAT SEEMED, THAT'S NOT THE HARDEST PART.

NOW WE HAVE TO PUT THE MOTOR PART ON TOP.

OH, MY GOSH.

MOUNTED ATOP OF THE 30-FOOT STRUCTURE,

THE 250-POUND MOTOR WILL BE AN EVEN MORE DANGEROUS

UNDERTAKING THAN ITS DISASSEMBLY.

HOLD ON.

WITH THE FAMILY FORCED TO BALANCE ITS EXTREME WEIGHT

MIDAIR.

IT HAS TO HOVER ABOVE IT SO THAT WE CAN WORK HERE TO ATTACH IT.

SO IT HAS TO BE HELD WITH SOMETHING.

IT HAS TO BE ABOVE IT.

AND EVEN THAT CHERRY PICKER THAT WE USED GETTING IT DOWN

WAS TOO SHORT.

THE WATER'S DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW.

WE JUST NEED TO GET TO IT. I CAN ALMOST HEAR IT.

- HOLD ON!

-RAIN AND GABE ATTEMPT A DANGEROUS ASCENT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO KILL US.

♪♪

NO, THE WING NUTS DON'T FIT.

I GOT SOME OTHER ONES. WHAT ABOUT THESE?

AS THEIR RANCH GROWS BY THE DAY...

PROBABLY AN OSTRICH KICKED THIS

BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING ON THE OUTSIDE

BECAUSE THEY'RE FAIRLY AGGRESSIVE, ACTUALLY.

...THE WOLF PACK FIGHTS TO PROTECT THEIR NEW LIVESTOCK.

HE'S, LIKE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OSTRICHES, THE BARN,

AND THE HOME SITE.

GET!

NOW, IN PURSUIT OF ATTAINING RUNNING WATER ON THE MOUNTAIN,

THE CLAN MUST COMPLETE THE REASSEMBLY OF THEIR WINDMILL.

THEY'LL NEED TO ATTACH ITS MASSIVE MOTOR

SUSPENDED AT 30 FEET.

THE FAMILY WILL RELY ON A RUSTY OLD LIFT

THAT NOAH HAS ON LOAN FROM THE LOCAL JUNKYARD.

I CAN HEAR THE SLOW RUMBLE OF THE LIFT COMING.

NOAH'S ON HIS WAY, AND MY STOMACH JUST SANK.

IT WASN'T EASY GETTING IT DOWN.

IT'S DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO BE EASY PUTTING IT BACK UP.

FOR THE BROWNS, THEIR ENTIRE FUTURE ON THE MOUNTAIN

IS AT STAKE.

OKAY, EVERYONE RELAX. I'M HERE.

IT'S NOT FAST. LET'S HOPE IT'S STURDY.

OKAY, SO HOW ARE WE DOING THESE TEAMS?

WHO'S IN THE BUCKET?

RAIN WANTS TO BE IN THE BUCKET.

BUT YOU DON'T DO WELL WITH HEIGHTS.

THAT'S WHY I WANT TO BE IN THE BUCKET.

TO BE HONEST I'M SURPRISED.

RAIN IS DEATHLY AFRAID OF HEIGHTS.

BEFORE, YOU KNOW, SHE WOULDN'T STEP ON A STEP LADDER

AND NOW SHE'S GOING TO BE RAISED

30 FOOT UP IN THE AIR ON A RICKETY OLD BOOM.

I'M NOTORIOUS FOR MY FEAR OF HEIGHTS.

HA! WE SHOULD STOP!

OH, MY GOSH.

RAIN. RAIN, LOOK AT ME.

I CAN'T BREATHE. OH, MY GOSH.

IT'S OKAY.

RAIN'S ONE OF THE MOST BRAVE PEOPLE I KNOW.

IF SHE'S SCARED OF SOMETHING, SHE DOESN'T SHY AWAY FROM IT.

YOU KNOW, SHE'LL PUSH HERSELF AND SHE TRIES TO GET OVER THAT.

I WANT TO BE IN THE LIFT BECAUSE I WANT TO TRY AND CONQUER THAT.

THIS WINDMILL IS ESSENTIAL TO THE RANCH AND TO MY FAMILY.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PROJECT

WE'VE DONE ON THE RANCH TO DATE.

NOAH, TAKE US UP.

THE PRESSURE'S ON. WE HAVE THE LIFT FOOT ONE DAY.

I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO GO.

YOU KNOW WHAT I DO WHEN I'M IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS?

I ENVISION AT THE END OF IT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I REALLY,

REALLY, REALLY WANT, LIKE A NAP OR A GIANT PIECE OF CAKE.

I KNOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO WORK FAST AND EFFICIENT.

AAH! NOAH!

HOLD UP.

WHAT IS HE DOING? I SAID HOLD.

YEAH.

NOAH!

HOLD ON. CAN YOU HOLD IT WHERE IT IS?

HANG ON, WE DON'T NEED TO. WE ALMOST HAVE IT, RAIN.

GABEY? I KNOW WE'RE TRYING TO DO THIS FAST,

BUT I REALLY THINK WE NEED TO TAKE IT DOWN

AND WE NEED TO RE-TIE IT.

NO, NO, BECAUSE WE ALMOST GOT IT.

BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ONE UP. HOW ARE WE GOING TO BOLT IT?

AS THE BROWN STRUGGLE TO ATTACH THE MOTOR TO THE BASE,

THEY REALIZE IT'S BEEN TIED TOO LOW ON THE LIFT,

FORCING THEM TO MAKE A TOUGH DECISION.

BRING US BACK DOWN.

BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE.

- NO, IT'S NOT. BRING US DOWN. - NO, WE NEED TO RE-TIE IT.

ANY DELAY IS EXTREMELY TROUBLESOME

BECAUSE THE SUN IS ALREADY GETTING REALLY LOW.

WE DON'T HAVE THE LIFT FOR ANOTHER DAY.

IT'S EITHER WE GET IT DONE NOW OR IT DOESN'T GET DONE.

♪♪

CAN'T SURVIVE WITHOUT FOOD AND WATER

AND THESE BULLS AND HORSES REALLY PUT IT AWAY.

HOW YOU DOING HORSES?

SHE'S NOT QUITE WARMED UP TO ME YET.

WE'LL GET THERE.

DOWN AT THE FAMILY BARN SITE WITH HIS SIBLINGS

TAKING ON THE WINDMILL BUILD,

BROTHER BAM IS CHARGED WITH THE TASK OF FEEDING

AND WATERING THE FAMILY'S ENTIRE HERD OF LIVESTOCK.

MAKING THESE BALES BIG ENOUGH OR WHAT?

SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF,

ANIMALS ARE FED AND WATERED, AND EVERYTHING KEEPS MOVING ALONG.

FOR BAM, THE HARD WORK IS STILL BETTER

THAN THE DANGER OF THE WINDMILL ASSEMBLY.

WHO'S READY FOR A SNACK?

I FINALLY JUST WANTED TO CALL IT ON

NOT GOING ANY HIGHER UP ON THE WINDMILL

BECAUSE IT JUST WASN'T THE SAFEST THING IN THE WORLD.

COME AND GET IT.

KIND OF SPREAD IT ALONG THE FENCE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY USUALLY THROW IT IN THERE,

IF THEY JUST PUT IN A PILE OR WHAT.

YOU KNOW, I ADMIT THERE'S DEFINITELY ONE THING

WE BROWNS ARE GOOD AT, IS JUST DOING SOMETHING

EVEN IF IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT

OR THE WAY THAT IT MIGHT ORIGINALLY HAVE BEEN

SUPPOSED TO BE DONE.

MAYBE I'M JUST GETTING OLDER. I DON'T KNOW.

THERE'S A LITTLE GRAY IN THE BEARD,

BUT I JUST WOULD RATHER BE SAFE ABOUT IT THAN STUPID.

DON'T WANT ANYBODY ACCIDENTALLY GETTING THE HORN IN THE EYE

OR ANYTHING.

♪♪

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. WE'RE GOING TO UNTIE IT

AND WE'RE GOING TO TIE IT WHERE THIS PIECE IS UP HERE.

IT NEEDS TO BE HIGHER ON THE LIFT.

LET'S TIE IT.

WE ARE DEFINITELY RACING AGAINST THE CLOCK RIGHT NOW.

THE SUN'S GOING DOWN.

THE LIFT NEEDS TO BE RETURNED IN A MATTER OF HOURS,

SO WE REALLY -- WE REALLY NEED TO GET IT DONE.

MAKE IT TIGHT.

OKAY, WE'RE GOOD.

YOU KNOW WHAT, I'LL JUST --

WATCH YOUR HANDS. DON'T HOLD ON THERE.

HOLD ON TO HERE. BOTH HANDS ON IT.

I'M HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A PANIC ATTACK.

SORT OF FREAKING OUT, AND I KNOW THAT WE ONLY HAVE LIKE AN HOUR

TO DO THIS JOB.

HOLD IT THERE.

I CAN'T HOLD IT MUCH LONGER.

WITH THIS WINDMILL, I EITHER DO IT

OR I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE GUILT OF LETTING MY FAMILY DOWN.

I CAN'T GET IT. WAIT, WAIT. STOP.

GET OUT!

BUT THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOURSELF.

I NEED A -- GABEY!

YOU SURE THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP?

I MEAN STOP WHEN I SAY STOP.

LET GO.

THIS MOTOR IS PROBABLY

A COUPLE HUNDRED POUNDS OR SOMETHING

AND WE HAVE TO GET IT JUST SO PERFECT.

STOP. I GOT IT.

YOU GOT IT ON? I GOT IT ON.

TRY FOR THAT BACK ONE, RIGHT?

YEP. THIS ONE.

I CAN DO IT.

WE GOT IT!

- IT'S DONE. - OKAY. CUT HER LOOSE.

LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT. RIGHT THERE.

IS IT DISCONNECTED?

YEAH. GET US OUT OF HERE.

HOLD TIGHT AND HOLD ON.

IT'S BEEN LONG, IT'S BEEN HARD.

AND ELI'S PROBABLY ASLEEP BY NOW.

EH, IT'S NOT LIKE HE REMEMBERS RIGHT NOW ANYWAY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO KILL US STILL.

TAKE IT STRAIGHT BACK, NOAH.

STRAIGHT BACK.

THAT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL.

RAIN AND I ARE THINKING THE SAME THING.

LET'S JUST GET DOWN AND GET OUR FEET BACK

ON THE GROUND WHERE THEY BELONG.

- WE GOT IT, MAN. - YEAH.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S HOLDING.

OH, IT'S HOLDING ALL RIGHT.

YEAH! YES!

PUTTING THAT WINDMILL UP HAS DEFINITELY BEEN A GROUP EFFORT

FROM EVERYONE AND NOT EASY. NOT EASY AT ALL.

LET'S LOAD IN AND TAKE OFF. WE CAME, WE SAW, WE CONQUERED.

GOOD JOB, GIRL.

I'M FEELING SO GOOD RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WATER IN THE RANCH.

♪♪

YEAH! WHOO!

LET'S TAKE OFF.

-THE FIRST OSTRICH EGG!

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS THING.

-THE BROWNS GET A TASTE OF THE FUTURE.

OSTRICH EGG TIME. THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

THE BROWNS LOOK FORWARD

TO THEIR COMPLETED WATER SYSTEM,

BUT FOR NOW, THEY'RE STILL DOING THINGS THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY.

THE MAIN WAY TO GET WATER UP TO THE LOFT RIGHT NOW

AND THE EASIEST WAY IS WITH A BIG CONTAINER OUT FRONT

WITH TONS OF WATER IN IT

AND THEN A FIVE-GALLON BUCKET, A LITTLE BIT OF ROPE,

AND I JUST PULL IT UP FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP.

IT'S EASIER THAN CARRYING IT UP THE LADDER.

LIFE IN A LOFT IS NICE.

AT FIRST IT SEEMED A LITTLE STRANGE,

BUT NOW IT'S LIKE SECOND NATURE.

I FEEL LIKE JUST ANOTHER ONE IN THE BARN ANIMALS.

IT TAKES A COUPLE BUCKETS FOR A DAY.

ONE IN THE MORNING, USUALLY ONE AT NIGHT

IF WE GO SPARINGLY.

IF WE DO, YOU KNOW, HAIR

OR IF WE TAKE BATHS, IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT MORE,

BUT NORMALLY WE CAN GET THROUGH A DAY ON ABOUT 10 GALLONS.

ONCE YOU FILLED UP ALL THE THINGS THAT WE USE

TO, LIKE, HEAT ON THE STOVE AND MAKE TEA WITH,

THEN YOU CAN USE THE REST OF THIS AS A SINK.

WHEN IT GETS DIRTY, YOU JUST PITCH IT OVER THE SIDE.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS THING! LOOK AT THAT.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND FOR IT, BIRDIE?

SCRAMBLE IT? FRAMBLE IT?

I THINK FRYING. IT COULD BE REALLY COOL.

IT'S LIKE A DINOSAUR EGG.

IT MIGHT BE HARD TO FRY THAT.

IT MIGHT ACTUALLY. HOW ELSE ARE YOU GONNA COOK IT?

BOIL IT?

THE BROWNS' FLEDGLING RANCH IS AT FULL CAPACITY,

AND MORE ARRIVALS HAVE THE ENTIRE MOUNTAIN ON EDGE.

I GET TO BUST IT, RIGHT? I WANT TO PUNCH IT.

FINE. I'LL PUNCH IT OPEN.

I'VE NEVER PUNCHED AN OSTRICH EGG BEFORE.

BUT THE WOLF PACK TAKES A MOMENT TO RELISH

IN THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENT.

STILL THINK IT BREAKS YOUR FINGER.

PRETTY THICK EGG. I DON'T WANT TO BREAK IT.

I DON'T WANT TO EXPLODE IT TOO MUCH.

IT'S A DENSE ONE.

NOW, DON'T HURT YOUR KNUCKLES.

WEAR MY GLOVES.

OR SOME RINGS.

HERE WE GO.

CAREFUL WITH IT!

GOT IT. OKAY.

BOOM, PERFECT.

NO, DON'T PUT THE SHELL IN IT.

WHOA, BIRDIE, WHOA.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT ORANGE THING IN THERE.

OH, MY GOSH! LOOK AT THAT ENORMOUS EGG!

PUT IT IN THE BOWL. DON'T BREAK THAT YOLK.

NOT IN THE PAN? LIKE THIS?

NO, NO, BEAR. THE WHOLE THING.

THEN POUR IT IN?

POUR IT IN. MAYBE -- WHOA, IT'S IN!

IT'S SO BIG!

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING.

HOW MANY CAKES COULD YOU MAKE WITH THIS?

I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THE OSTRICHES ARE GOING

TO BE PROFITABLE.

THEIR EGGS ARE, LIKE, REALLY EXPENSIVE, TOO,

SO WE CAN EVEN SELL THE EGGS, WE CAN EAT THE EGGS.

THEY'RE JUST -- THEY BRING A LOT TO THE TABLE.

RAIN OR SHINE, IT'S BREAKFAST TIME!

I THINK IT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO FRY.

TOSS ME ONE OF THOSE PLATES, WOULD YOU?

MMM, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

THE OSTRICHES ARE ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE RANCH

BEING FULLY SELF-SUFFICIENT.

WE WANT TO GET TO WHERE

WE DON'T NEED TO GO TO TOWN FOR ANYTHING,

AND I FEEL LIKE THE OSTRICHES ARE A BIG PART IN THAT.

AND I'D SAY THAT THOSE OSTRICHES ARE DOING MORE

THAN JUST EARNING THEIR KEEP.

WITH THEM, WE DON'T REALLY NEED ANY OTHER ANIMALS.

DON'T LET THE CHICKENS HERE THAT.

ONE OSTRICH EGG SUPPLIED AN ENTIRE BREAKFAST.

GOOD BREAKFAST, BIRD. NICE WHIPPING.

THANK YOU, BUT THE OSTRICHES DID MOST OF THE WORK.

♪♪

- GANG'S ALL HERE TODAY, GUYS. - YEP.

AFTER DAYS OF PAINSTAKING WORK,

THE WOLF PACK HAS FINALLY RAISED THE MASSIVE WINDMILL --

THE NEXT STEP TO FLOWING WATER ON THEIR MOUNTAIN RANCH.

BUT BEFORE ITS BLADES CAN SPIN, ONE FINAL STEP REMAINS.

SO WE NEED IT TO SPIN FREELY. RIGHT NOW THE LOCK IS ON.

WE NEED TO TAKE THE LOCK OFF.

THIS ROPE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT.

WE SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH WIND THAT THE TAIL JUST DO IN ITSELF.

OKAY. I DON'T NEED A PESKY ROPE.

I'M JUST GOING TO GO UP THERE AND TWIST IT LOOSE.

LET ME TRY THE ROPE, BRO.

OH, COME ON. LET ME CLIMB IT.

WE'RE THINKING WE DO EVERYTHING FROM THE GROUND,

BUT AS I WAS KIND OF LETTING EVERYBODY KNOW,

LIKE, HOW IT WORKS, BEAR IS ALREADY CLIMBING UP.

READY? GO!

WILL THE TAIL SPIN LOOSE OR SHOULD I TRY TO BREAK IT?

TRY TO MOVE IT OUT.

WHERE'S THE LOCK ON IT?

WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

THERE YOU GO. I GOT IT. THERE YOU GO.

AND THERE IS A WINDMILL SPINNING!

WHEN THE WINDMILL FINALLY STARTED SPINNING,

THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME SIGHTS

I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.

THIS WINDMILL WON'T JUST TRANSFORM LIFE ON THE RANCH,

IT WILL ACTUALLY MAKE LIFE BE ABLE TO GROW,

BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY, THE WINDMILL IS WATER

AND WATER IS LIFE.

LOOK HOW FAST IT'S SPINNING.

DO YOU SEE THE PIECE MOVING UP AND DOWN?

- YEAH. - YEP.

THAT'S WHAT WILL PUMP THE WATER.

OH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

- WOW. - WOW.

IT SUPPLIES THE ENTIRE RANCH, ALL OF IT --

EVERY HOME IN IT, ALL THE ANIMALS.

IT'S SUPPLIED BY THE WATER COMING FROM THIS THING.

IT'S THE HEART OF NORTH STAR RANCH.

SEEING THOSE BLADES SPINNING,

IT'S NOT EVEN JUST ABOUT NOW THE RANCH CAN HAVE WATER.

IT'S ABOUT WHAT WE DID TOGETHER. IT'S ABOUT WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED,

AND IT'S SUCH A GREAT FEAT FOR THE RANCH.

WITH A WINDMILL UP AND TURNING, THEY'D FACE CHALLENGES

THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE I DON'T THINK CAN HANDLE.

YOU GET THE WINDMILL TO START THE FLOW OF EVERYTHING.

YEAH!

THERE'S NOTHING MORE REWARDING THAN THAT, NOTHING.

I JUST WANT TO STARE AT IT.

IT'S MESMERIZING. I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.

SLOW DOWN. SLOW DOWN.

WHOA, GABEY!

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

COME ON, I CAN'T LEAVE YOU OUT. GET INSIDE.

...A DANGEROUS SUMMER STORM BEARS DOWN ON THE MOUNTAIN.

THEY CAN SENSE THAT IT'S A PRETTY BAD STORM.

AND AS THE WOLF PACK RUSHES TO PROTECT ALL THEY HAVE BUILT...

MY ORIGINAL LAB WAS STURDY.

THIS ONE, HOWEVER, I HOPE IT MAKES IT.

YOU ARE COVERED IN FIBERGLASS. I WILL DECK YOU.

WHOA!

-...EVERY SECOND COUNTS.

WE COULD BE IN TROUBLE.

THIS COULD BE THE STORM OF THE CENTURY.

MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, MOVE. CLEAR.
