YOU LOOK REALLY GOOD, ACTUALLY.

KIND OF CREEPY ENOUGH I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT YOU.

OH, COOL. PERFECT.

MY FAMILY DOES CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN.

WHEN YOU HAVE ANY EXCUSE TO BE ABLE TO DRESS UP,

I TAKE THAT VERY SERIOUSLY.

- HEY, KIDS. - AAH!

YOU'RE DRESSED LIKE MOM AND DAD.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

WHEN YOU'RE IN CHARACTER,

YOU HAVE TO STAY IN CHARACTER, RIGHT?

IT RUNS THE ENTIRE PERFORMANCE.

BIRD, DON'T BE A JELLYHEAD. BURN IT.

IF IT'S BURNT, IT'S DAD'S.

DO YOU WANT ME TO BURN IT?

REALLY? ARE YOU GONNA EAT IT, 'CAUSE YOU'RE DRESSED LIKE DAD.

YOU HAVE TO BE THAT PERSON.

I AM MY DAD.

SO, I'M GONNA EAT THAT HOT-DOG.

DAGGUM, THAT LOOKS GOOD.

DON'T TOUCH IT. I'M TICKLED.

BURNED. CRISPY. IT MIGHT AS WELL BE A STICK ON THE GROUND.

BUT I AM STILL GOING TO EAT IT.

HOW'S YOUR HOT DOG?

DELICIOUS.

DAGGUM, RAIN, DON'T EAT ALL THE CHOCOLATE.

SORRY, DAD.

ON THIS EPISODE OF "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE"...

I JUST THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS THE ONE, AND ALL.

I WASN'T WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR.

THIS HIT BEAR A LOT HARDER THAN ANYBODY REALIZES.

I THINK IT BROKE HIS HEART.

YOU CAN'T BLAME YOURSELF, 'CAUSE IT WASN'T YOU.

SOME PEOPLE AREN'T COMPATIBLE.

I WAS AFRAID THAT THE GROUND WOULD BE FROZEN.

JUST LIGHT THIS BABY UP.

STARTING A FIRE, IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE FOUNDATION IN.

- THIS SHOULD BE FUN. - LET'S LIGHT IT.

- LOOK OUT, GABE. - WHAT DO I DO WITH HIM?

WELL, YOU FEEL LIKE DOING TO HUNT?

I CAN BARELY SEE.

THAT'S WHEN IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO STAY FOCUSED.

HOLD IT!

THE WHOLE PACK HAS GOT TO BE AT TOP GAME.

WE'RE LITERALLY BREAKING GROUND!

- THERE YOU GO! - YEAH! - LET'S BURN THIS THING DOWN!

-WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE NEWS ABOUT THE WEDDING

BEING CALLED OFF, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT.

WE ALL WANT OUR KIDS TO FIND HAPPILY EVER AFTER,

AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

I KNOW THAT THINGS CHANGED REALLY QUICK.

AND I KNOW THAT BEAR WAS REALLY HURT.

HE'S NEVER KNOWN SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

I THINK IT BROKE HIS HEART.

I JUST THOUGHT THAT...

I JUST THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS THE ONE.

JUST WASN'T...

I JUST WASN'T WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR.

YOU LIVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE THINKING, YOU KNOW,

YOU MIGHT NOT FIND YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE.

AND THEN, YOU FIND SOMEONE THAT YOU THINK IS,

AND THEN YOU FIND OUT THAT THEY AREN'T.

SO, YOU KNOW, DOES IT FEEL GOOD?

NO. NO. IT DOESN'T.

IT HURTS. IT DOES.

-YOU CAN'T.

I LOVE TO, LIKE, RUN THROUGH THE FOREST, CLIMB TREES,

STAND BY A FIRE, HOWL AT THE MOON.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF, YOU KNOW,

THINGS LIKE THAT MIGHT HAVE HAMPERED,

YOU KNOW, RAVEN NOT WANTING TO STICK AROUND AND ALL.

I DON'T KNOW, REALLY, TO BE HONEST.

IT'S HARD TO SAY.

YOU CAN'T BLAME YOURSELF.

'CAUSE IT WASN'T HER. IT WASN'T YOU.

SOME PEOPLE AREN'T COMPATIBLE.

RIGHT. BUT MAYBE IF I WAS, YOU KNOW,

MORE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, AND NOT SO MUCH LIKE ME...

THEN YOU'RE NOT YOU.

IF, IN THE END, SHE DOESN'T LOVE YOU FOR YOU,

THEN SHE WASN'T THAT PERSON.

BEAR IS DEFINITELY EXTREME.

HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN, AND ALWAYS WILL BE.

BUT HE DESERVES TO FIND HIS PRINCESS,

YOU KNOW, JUST AS MUCH AS ANYBODY ELSE.

AND I FEEL LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY FOR BEAR,

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO FIND SOMEONE

THAT WANTS THAT LIFESTYLE.

THE GOOD LORD HAS A PLAN.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

AND I BELIEVE FULLY THAT THERE IS SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE.

IF RAVEN ISN'T YOUR SOMEONE, THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE.

THERE'S SOME GIRL OUT THERE

WHO'S GONNA RUN THROUGH THOSE WOODS WITH YOU,

AND CLIMB TREES, AND HOWL AT THE TOP.

I'VE BEEN THROUGH QUITE A BIT OF STUFF --

SINKING BOATS, BURNING HOUSES --

BUT YOU KNOW, WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A BROKEN HEART,

IS BASICALLY WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO.

FRIENDS COME, AND FRIENDS GO, BUT THEN, LIKE, YOU KNOW, RAVEN,

YOU KNOW..

YOU KNOW, I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.

IT JUST HASN'T BEEN EASY.

I HAVE A DIFFERENT METHOD OF CLEARING SNOW.

MINE'S A LITTLE QUICKER. YOURS TASTES BETTER.

IT'S LATE FALL IN THE HIGHLANDS, OF NORTHERN WASHINGTON

AND THE CHAOTIC WEATHER AT NORTH STAR RANCH

USHERS IN THE FIRST SNOWFALL.

Gabe; THERE WE GO.

SNOW'S FLYING EARLY THIS YEAR.

IT'S DOING WHAT WE ALL HOPED IT WOULDN'T.

IT'S NOT GIVING US TIME TO PREP ANYTHING.

THERE IS A LOT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THE ANIMALS.

IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, WE'RE LIKE RIGHT UP AGAINST IT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IN THE COLD,

AND I JUST DIDN'T EXPECT WINTER TO COME THIS QUICK.

I MEAN, THIS IS PUSHED OUT.

THE MOST TRICKY ANIMAL TO SET UP FOR IS PROBABLY THE OSTRICHES.

THEY'RE STARTING TO COME INTO HEAT.

THEIR PERSONALITIES ARE CHANGING.

THE GIRL OSTRICHES ARE OVER THERE

DOING THEIR MAKE-UP A LITTLE HARDER,

AND THE MALES' LEGS GET REALLY RED.

RESEARCH ONLY GETS YOU SO FAR. THE REST IS TRIAL AND ERROR.

SO, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH.

WITH AN AMBITIOUS MAIN-HOUSE BUILD BEHIND SCHEDULE,

THE BROWNS MUST RISE QUICKLY ABOVE THE NEW CHALLENGES.

IT WILL REQUIRE THE DEDICATION OF EVERY MEMBER OF THE PACK.

LAST I TALKED TO BEAR, HOW WAS HE?

SAD, CONFUSED HE'S A BIT LIKE A JEDI.

HE'S, LIKE, AT ONE WITH HIS FEELINGS.

OOH.

WITH EVERYTHING BEAR'S GOING THROUGH,

HE'S BEEN VERY TO HIMSELF.

IT AFFECTS EVERYONE.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T STILL WORK,

BUT THAT DOES MEAN WE'RE A MAN DOWN

UNTIL HE'S UP, AND READY TO WORK AGAIN.

IT'S JUST REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE FOCUS ON BUILDING THE HOUSE.

THAT WAY, MOM AND DAD ARE TAKEN CARE OF.

THE INSULATED TARPS SHOULD HAVE HELPED TO KEEP THE GROUND

FROM FREEZING THOROUGHLY.

I THINK IT'S HELPING, YOU KNOW?

- IT IS. - IT'S NOT SUPER FROZEN YET.

BUT IT'LL STILL MAKE IT VERY TIME-CONSUMING AND HARD

IF WE DON'T THAW IT OUT.

NO, WE'LL NEED TO THAW IT.

NOW THAT THE SPOT FOR THE HOUSE IS ACTUALLY CLEARED,

THE NEXT STEP IS, WE HAVE TO DIG FOR THE FOUNDATION,

AT LEAST 4 FOOT.

WE JUST NEED TO GET THE FOUNDATION UP

BEFORE THE GROUND FREEZES EVEN MORE.

WE CAN DO EVERYTHING ELSE BELOW ZERO,

ONCE IT GETS THAT COLD, YOU KNOW?

AS LONG AS THE FOUNDATION'S DOWN.

AND THE CONCRETE'S DOWN.

THE BROWNS HAVE A TIGHT DEADLINE

TO COMPLETE THE 40X40 FOOT FOUNDATION OF THEIR MAIN CABIN.

A CRITICAL DELIVERY OF CEMENT

IS DUE TO ARRIVE IN JUST ONE WEEK'S TIME.

UNLESS THEY CAN UNFREEZE THE GROUND,

AND GET THEIR HOUSE SITE PREPPED IN TIME,

THE FAMILY HOME WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SPRING.

WELL, WHAT I'M THINKING IS, ALL THE TREES

THAT WE TOOK FROM HERE, WE JUST PILED DOWN THERE.

SEE IT? BIG PILE OF TREES.

WE HAVE TO BURN THAT STUFF ANYWAY.

WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE A PILE OF TREES THERE.

WHAT IF WE GATHER A BUNCH OF THOSE, PILE IT ON HERE,

MAKE A GIGANTIC FIRE?

IN NO TIME, EVEN THE GROUND SURROUNDING THE AREA

THAT WE NEED THAWED WILL BE THAWED.

YOU THINK A MASSIVE BONFIRE ON TOP OF THE ENTIRE THING?

I THINK WE SHOULD JUST LIGHT THIS BABY UP.

STARTING A FIRE WHERE YOU WANT TO DIG YOUR FOUNDATION,

IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY WAY TO BE ABLE TO DIG IN THE WINTER

TO GET THE FOUNDATION IN.

IT'S AN OLD TRICK WE USED TO USE UP IN THE BUSH.

THESE TWO ARE DEFINITELY DOING THEIR JOB.

LET'S GET ANOTHER ONE GOING.

I MADE A SPOT OVER THERE.

IT'S DEFINITELY GONNA BE A LOT OF WORK,

BUT IT'S GONNA BE WORTH IT.

WE'RE USING ALL THE SURROUNDING BRUSH

THAT WE CLEARED FROM THIS LAND.

JUST GETTING IT ALL UP HERE IS DEFINITELY GONNA BE A TASK,

'CAUSE IDEALLY WE'RE GONNA TRY

AND THAW OUT THE ENTIRE PIECE IN ONE FIRE.

SO, IT'S GONNA BE HUGE.

SO, TOUCH OFF THE BONFIRE,

DO SOME FACE PAINT, DO SOME DANCING.

I MEAN, MAYBE. BRING OUT SOME CHICKENS.

♪♪

YOU GET DOWN THERE, AND START HOOKING UP TREES,

AND BRINGING THEM BACK. BY THE TIME YOU DO,

I'LL HAVE THE REBAR OUT OF THE WAY.

WE CAN PULL THE TARPS BACK, AND BUILD A BIG FIRE.

THE NEXT DAY, BROTHERS BAM AND NOAH

WASTE NO TIME PUTTING THE BONFIRE PLAN INTO ACTION,

HAULING LOGS WEIGHING OVER 500 POUNDS

TO USE AS KINDLING.

GOT YOU!

THIS HOUSE SITE IS A REALLY BIG TURKEY TO TRY TO THAW.

WE JUST NEED TO GET THIS DONE.

'CAUSE THE LONGER WE DELAY, THE MORE SNOW IS GOING TO COME.

ALRIGHT. HIT IT.

RIDE THEM, COWBOY.

HEY, BUDDY!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCROUNGE. I'LL FEED YOU.

AND WHILE THE OTHER SIBLINGS BEGIN THE DAY'S WORK

CARING FOR THEIR LIVESTOCK...

LOOK OUT, GABE-Y. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

...A ROUTINE CHORE TAKES A LIFE-THREATENING TURN.

HEY, WHOA, WHOA, BACK OFF! HEY, BACK OFF!

- DON'T FIGHT! - WHAT DO I DO WITH HIM?

♪♪

-BACK OFF.

HEY. HEY! BACK OFF!

- DON'T FIGHT. WHAT DO I DO WITH HIM?

WHAT NOW?

♪♪

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

WELL, MOM, DAD AND I WENT OUT.

WE WERE TRYING TO GET SOME OF THE OSTRICH EGGS,

'CAUSE THEY KEEP LAYING EVEN IN THE SNOW.

AND THE LONGER THE LAY IN THE SNOW,

THE LESS CHANCE THERE IS THAT WE CAN INCUBATE THEM.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, LIKE, HE JUST COMES AT ME,

LIKE I KIND OF CUT TOWARD HIS LADIES,

AND HE DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL TOO MUCH,

AND HE JUST CAME AT ME.

THE WAY I WAS RAISED, LIKE, YOU DON'T BACK DOWN.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW YOU GET HURT, YOU KNOW?

LIKE A BEAR CHARGES AT YOU, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS TURN AROUND AND RUN.

I'M JUST GLAD THAT I MADE IT OUT SAFELY,

AND THAT HERCULES IS OKAY.

THE WORST PART ABOUT IT IS,

WHILE I WAS FIGHTING THE OSTRICH,

I LOST MY WEDDING RING.

IT WAS THE FIRST RING RAQUELL GOT ME,

AND IT JUST MEANS EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO ME.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO IN RIGHT NOW.

I WANT TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO SETTLE DOWN, MELLOW OUT.

'CAUSE I THINK, IF I WENT IN THERE RIGHT NOW,

HE'D THINK IT'S ROUND TWO.

...I WILL ADMIT NOTHING IS GOING LIKE THE PLAN.

THE FOUNDATION HAS GOT TO BE PUT IN BEFORE THE GROUND FREEZES,

OR WE'RE STOPPED.

WHEN YOU'VE GOT SOMEONE, ESPECIALLY LIKE BEAR,

WHO'S JUST LOST AND DOWN,

IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO GET HIM BACK.

WELL, YOU FEEL LIKE DOING A HUNT?

I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE DOING TO HUNT. YEAH.

MOM'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT. I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT.

RIGHT.

I FEEL THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO JALAPEÑO SOME DEER.

IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD.

...PUTS US BACK TO WHO WE ARE

AND IF WE CAN SIT AROUND THE FIRE

EATING SOME DEER MEAT, AND TALK, AND LAUGH,

I THINK IT WOULD BE THE BEST THING WE COULD DO FOR BEAR.

...WE'RE ALWAYS HERE FOR EACH OTHER.

IT'S WHAT MAKES US STRONG.

IT DEFINITELY WOULD BE A NICE TREAT.

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A SPOT IN MIND, TO BE HONEST.

THAT'S COOL.

YOU'RE NOT COMING WITH ME.

I'LL DEFINITELY TRY ANYTHING TO CHEER BEAR UP, YOU KNOW?

BECAUSE HE'S MY BIG BROTHER, AND HE'S HEARTBROKEN.

THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE IDEAL TIME TO GO ON A HUNT, YOU KNOW,

'CAUSE WE HAVE THE BONFIRE HAPPENING,

BUT I WANT TO SHOW BEAR

THAT, LIKE, WE'RE ALL SUPPORTING HIM.

I'M STARTING OFF THE HUNT GOING DOWN MORE INTO THE VALLEYS,

WHICH IS OFF OF OUR PROPERTY,

BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME NICE VALLEYS

THAT I THINK THE DEER WILL LIKE.

SO, I SEE A COUPLE OF SHINY THINGS.

THEN, I ALSO SEE SOMETHING

THAT LOOKS LIKE A DEAD ANIMAL IN THERE.

SO, I DON'T REALLY WANT TO TOUCH THAT.

WHILE GABE INFORMS WIFE RAQUELL OF THE THE LOST WEDDING RING,

SISTER RAIN AND BROTHER BAM ARE TEAMING UP TO HELP GABE

RECOVER HIS PRIZED POSSESSION.

HE LOST IT, FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD, SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.

I CAN'T TELL.

I MEAN, IT'S A RING. THERE'S NO TELLING WHERE IT IS.

GABE ALREADY GOT IN A TUSSLE WITH THE OSTRICH.

THAT'S WHY I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA

FOR HIM TO GO IN, AND TRY AND DIG AROUND FOR IT.

I THINK THEY'RE PROBABLY JUST GONNA ATTACK HIM AGAIN,

AND HE'S PROBABLY GONNA LOSE AN EYE.

WHAT IT THEY ATE IT?

WOULD THERE BE ANY WAY YOU COULD TELL?

SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR PLAN, HERE?

DAD DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO GO IN THE PEN WITH THEM RIGHT NOW.

I'M HOPING THAT I CAN FIND IT WITH A MAGNET.

BACK IN ALASKA, ON THE BOATS,

WE WOULD MAGNET FISH, IS WHAT WE CALLED IT.

WE WOULD TAKE GIANT MAGNETS, AND TIE A ROPE TO THEM,

AND THROW THEM OFF THE END OF THE BOAT.

AND WE FOUND ALL SORTS OF THINGS -- WATCHES, RINGS.

I'M NOT SURE THE FISHING LINE IS THE BEST IDEA FOR THIS.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ROPE?

A FEW TIMES, WE'VE DROPPED SOME TOOLS

OFF INTO THE WATER.

AND YOU'LL TRY TO -- TRY TO GET THAT.

YOU CAN NEVER ACTUALLY DO IT.

WE STAYED FOR A DAY, ONE TIME, ON THIS DOCK,

TRYING TO GET A HAMMER THAT FELL IN.

NEVER FOUND IT.

HOW FAR ARE YOU TRYING TO THROW IT?

IF YOU WANT TO GO OVER THE -- THAT WAS, LIKE --

I DON'T CLAIM TO BE A PROFESSIONAL AT THIS.

I DON'T THINK THERE ARE PROFESSIONAL

OSTRICH PIN FISHERS.

THIS IS A TINY MAGNET IN THE SNOW,

THAT'S BEEN BEING PACKED DOWN BY THE ANIMALS.

THERE'S NO TELLING WHERE THAT RING IS.

I MEAN, THE ODDS THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE

TO FIND IT THIS WAY -- SLIM.

OH, DID I GET SOMETHING?

NO.

THEY'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND THAT EDGE OVER THERE,

SO MAYBE WE SHOULD GO TO THAT SIDE, AND TRY.

YOU KNOW, IT'D DEFINITELY MEAN A LOT TO GABEY

IF WE'RE ABLE TO FIND HIS RING.

IT'S A CARTOONISH IDEA.

SOMETIMES, THOSE WORK,

A LOT OF TIMES, THEY DON'T.

- BAM, ARE YOU SEEING THIS?! - YES, DO YOU THINK --

DUDE! LOOK!

THE ROSE GOLD RING IS HOLDING IT DOWN.

NO, BAM, LOOK WHAT IT'S DOING! DOES IT HAVE SOMETHING ON IT?

I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA WORK.

THERE'S SOME DROPPINGS HERE, AND THERE'S SOME HOOF PRINTS.

SO, THEY'VE DEFINITELY BEEN THROUGH THIS WAY,

AND I WOULDN'T SAY TOO LONG AGO.

A FEW MILES DOWN FROM NORTH STAR RANCH,

SISTER BIRD VENTURES OFF THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY,

AND DOWN INTO PUBLIC HUNTING LANDS.

SHE'S ON A QUEST TO BRING HOME DEER,

BROTHER BEAR'S FAVORITE MEAL,

WHICH THE FAMILY HOPES WILL CHEER HIM UP.

I THINK I MIGHT INTO TO THE RIDGE UP THERE,

SO I CAN GET A GOOD BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF EVERYTHING.

RECENTLY, BAM AND GABE WENT OUT ON A HUNT,

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY ENDED UP NOT GETTING ANYTHING.

IT'S NOT A FLATULENT DEER. COME ON.

SOMETIMES, IT IS MORE EFFICIENT TO GO BY YOURSELF.

IT'S WORKING! I KEEP HOPING I'M GOING TO LOOK UP,

AND I'LL SEE DEER ROAMING THE PLAINS.

BECAUSE YOU CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MORE QUIET.

YOU'RE NOT TALKING.

THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON WALKING.

IT'S JUST -- SOMETIMES, I FIND IT EASIER.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S ANOTHER HUNTER RIGHT UP THERE.

IN WASHINGTON, YOU KNOW,

YOU HAVE WEAR THE ORANGE, AND STUFF,

FOR, LIKE, OTHER HUNTERS,

WHICH IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE'RE NOT USED TO.

BUT, LIKE, ACTUALLY SEEING A HUNTER MAKES IT MORE REAL.

I'M DEFINITELY GONNA FIND ANOTHER TRAIL TO GO,

'CAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE THAT ONE.

I GOT TO GO A DIFFERENT WAY.

I'M CONFIDENT, IF THEY'RE OUT HERE HUNTING,

THEY'RE NOT GONNA ACCIDENTALLY SHOOT ME.

BUT THEY COULD GET MY DEER.

YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE A DEER THAT I SEE,

AND THEN, IT, LIKE, ROUNDS A CORNER

AND SOMEBODY ELSE GETS IT.

THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS I HAVE

ABOUT THERE BEING OTHER HUNTERS OUT HERE.

THEY SEEM TO HAVE THAT HILL, SO I'M GOING TO THE NEXT ONE.

OKAY, SO, I'M GONNA ATTACH THIS CHAIN ONTO THE TREE,

ATTACH IT AS FAR UP HERE AS I CAN.

THEN, I'M GONNA REVERSE,

AND THAT SHOULD BREAK THE ICE FREE.

SHOULD WE RACE, OR START HAULING THESE THINGS BY HAND?

YOU CAN START HAULING SOME BY HAND IF YOU WANT.

WITH A BONFIRE THIS BIG, I LOOK AT IT

AS A REALLY GOOD EXCUSE TO GET BEAR INVOLVED,

'CAUSE HE'S BEEN KIND OF REALLY TO HIMSELF SINCE THE BREAK-UP.

I WANT IT TO BE NICE AND BIG, MELT ALL THE SNOW OFF.

MAKE IT NICE AND MUSHY A GOOD WAYS DOWN.

SO, HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU FIGURE WE NEED?

PULLS THESE UP, MAYBE GET SOME OF THESE SMALLER ONES,

SO IT BURNS GOOD.

ALRIGHT.

BEAR'S KIND OF THE FIRE GUY OF THE FAMILY.

BEAR, I DON'T WANT TO GET IT UP HIGH, LIKE THAT.

- RIGHT. - YEAH, DON'T LET IT GET OUT OF HAND.

NO, SERIOUSLY. DON'T BONFIRE THIS ONE.

EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN WAY OF DE-STRESSING.

FOR BEAR, IT'S STARTING A FIRE.

JUST THE SIMPLICITY OF THE ACT

OF CHOPPING THE WOOD, AND STACKING IT UP,

BURNING IT, AND JUST WATCHING THE EMBERS.

RUNNING DOWN SOME COAL BASE, NOW, GUYS.

I GUESS IT'S JUST KIND OF HIS FORM OF MEDITATION.

WITH A BONFIRE THIS BIG, IT'S A REALLY GOOD CHANCE

TO BE ABLE TO GET HIM OUT OF HIS SHELL,

AND GET HIM DOING SOMETHING THAT HE REALLY LOVES.

OKAY, THIS IS GETTING CLOSE.

I WAS THINKING, ACTUALLY, I MIGHT TAKE SOME GAS,

SPREAD GAS JUST ALONG THE SIDE.

ANY TIME I GET TO START A REALLY BIG FIRE

WITH AN EXPLOSION, THAT'S NICE.

ARE YOU FEELING OKAY?

YOU NEVER USE GAS.

NORMALLY, I DON'T START FIRES WITH FUEL AT ALL.

I PREFER THE CHALLENGE OF BUILDING IT UP.

AND IF YOU HAVE FUEL, IT ACTUALLY RUNS THE COOKING FIRE.

BUT IN THIS SITUATION IT'S CALLED FOR

BECAUSE IT'S A LOT WE'RE BURNING,

AND IT'S NOT BEING BURNED FOR FOOD.

IT'S BEING BURNED FOR WORK.

SO, THEN, IS WHEN IT BECOMES FUN TO USE GAS.

PUSH THAT TRUCK UP.

ANY TIME DEALING WITH FIRE, AND MESSING WITH A BROTHER,

YOU KNOW, HAVING FUN WORKING ON A PROJECT

IT DEFINITELY TAKES MY MIND OFF

OF EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO BE GOING ON.

I MEAN, IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, THERE'S STILL A LITTLE PIECE

ALWAYS BOUNCING AROUND, BUT FOR THE MOST PART,

IT'S A GOOD WAY TO TAKE YOUR MIND OFF OF ANYTHING.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND STACK THIS UP JUST A LITTLE.

JUST KIND OF THROW IT AROUND.

YOU BRING THE FUEL. THAT WAY, WE BURN IT SOLID.

WE'LL MEET BACK HERE. OKAY.

-COMING UP...

-I'M GOING IN.

-...ROUND TWO IN THE OSTRICH PEN.

-THIS COULD BE A MISTAKE.

HERE WE GO.

HE'S REALLY EYEBALLING ME.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND STACK THIS UP.

YOU BRING THE FUEL. THAT WAY, WE BURN IT SOLID.

THROW A GIANT MATCH FROM A DISTANCE.

IT GOES BOOM.

LET'S FINISH THE JOB.

THE FIRST SNOWSTORM ON THE BROWNS' RANCH

BRINGS THE FAMILY CABIN BUILD TO A HALT.

WITH THE GROUND TOO FROZEN TO DIG THEIR FOUNDATION,

THE WOLF PACK GAMBLES ON A MASSIVE BONFIRE,

HOPING TO THAW THE GROUND.

THAT'S A GOOD PILE TO HERE.

THAWING THE GROUND IS A LOT OF WORK.

IF WE CAN'T GET THIS DUG IN TIME FOR THE CONCRETE DELIVERY

THAT'S COMING, THEN, WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE.

IF WE DELAY ANYMORE,

THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO MAKE IT UP THE ROAD.

THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING'S PATH.

IT SEEMS PRETTY FRESH.

DEFINITELY A DAY OR TWO, I WOULD SAY.

3 MILES DOWN MOUNTAIN,

SISTER BIRD IS ON A DEER HUNT, WITH THE GOAL OF LIFTING

THE SPIRITS OF HER BROTHER, BEAR.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY DEER BONES.

THERE'S QUITE A FEW OF THEM, WHICH I'M KEEPING.

I ACTUALLY LIKE TO COLLECT BONES.

I JUST LIKE TO MAKE THINGS WITH THEM,

PUT THEM IN MY GARDEN.

I HAVE MY BONE TREE.

AND IT'S JUST WHERE I PUT ALL OF THE BONES

THAT I EITHER COLLECT AND FIND.

I'LL JUST HANG IT IN THE TREE,

AND IT'LL FEED THE BIRDS, AND EVENTUALLY LOOK PRETTY.

REST IN PEACE, LITTLE DEER.

I DON'T KNOW, I FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT EVEN

JUST TO HONOR AN ANIMAL THAT WE GOT.

IT'S ALSO HONORING THE ANIMALS

THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST DIED OUT THERE.

AND I FOUND THEIR BONES.

MY SISTER HAS ASKED ME THAT SAME THING.

I THINK IT'S JUST THE HISTORY THAT THEY HAVE.

BECAUSE THERE'S, LIKE, SOME BONES GO BACK SO FAR.

I REALLY LIKE COW BONES.

I ACTUALLY HAVE ALMOST AN ENTIRE RIBCAGE

AND SPINE OF A COW.

AND I REALLY LIKE THOSE, 'CAUSE THEY'RE REALLY BIG.

GOOD VIEW. BLOCK THE WIND.

ROCKS, FLAT, FISH.

I LIKE IT.

JUST LIKE ANYTHING, FOOD IS FUEL.

SO, FOR THIS HUNT, I'M JUST GONNA MAKE

A LITTLE BIT OF CHICKEN AND SOME COFFEE.

I'M JUST GONNA TAKE MY NIFTY PLATE

THAT I FOUND, AND JUST PUT IT HERE,

SO I CAN HEAT IT UP.

'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF GRATE, OR ANYTHING,

SO I'M JUST GONNA SET MY CHICKEN ON THAT,

NICE AND CLOSE TO THE FIRE.

OH, IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE

ANOTHER CAMP OFF IN THE DISTANCE.

IT MUST BE SOMEBODY ELSE HUNTING, PROBABLY.

DEER SEASON ENDS PRETTY SOON.

'CAUSE THAT'S ONE MORE THING ABOUT HERE,

IS IT'S NOT SUPER LONG.

I DEFINITELY HAVE FAITH THAT I'LL GET A DEER.

I CAME FOR A DEER, SO I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT ONE.

I THINK NOW IT'S TIME TO CALL IT, THOUGH.

HOW DO YOU GET IT OUT?

BEAR? BEAR?

- YEAH. - THAT'S WHAT THE ANGLE'S FOR.

OH.

WITH TEMPERATURES FORECAST FOR THE LOW TEENS TOMORROW,

THE WOLF PACK WILL WAIT ONE MORE DAY

FOR THEIR BONFIRE,

LEAVING THE EVENING FREE FOR SOME BROTHERLY BONDING.

HOW DO YOU DO YOURS? ALL OF MINE ARE BREAKING.

THE WORST THING FOR SOMEONE

GOING THROUGH A BREAK-UP IS TO BE ALONE.

WHEN YOU'RE ALONE IS WHEN YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

YOU'RE THERE WITH YOUR THOUGHTS.

AND THAT'S A BAD THING.

SO, RIGHT NOW, FOR TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO FORGE.

YEAH, I LOVE IT.

WELL, TO BE HONEST, I DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH

FORGING EXPERIENCE.

MY MAIN EXPERIENCE WITH FORGING

IS JUST BEING REALLY CLOSE TO FIRE, AND BURNING THINGS.

NOAH, THOUGH, HE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPERIENCED AT IT.

SO, LOOK FROM THIS ANGLE, PLEASE.

DO YOU SEE HOW, WHEN IT'S THERE, IT'S UPWARD?

- MM-MM. - THAT IS WHAT WE WANT TO HAMMER DOWN.

OKAY.

LIKE THAT. HERE YOU GO.

OKAY.

FORGING IS FUN BECAUSE YOU'RE DEALING WITH FIRE,

YOU'RE MAKING STUFF GLOW, AND THEN, YOU'RE HAMMERING IT.

SO, IN PRINCIPLE, I LOVE IT.

IS THAT DOING IT?

YEAH. THAT'S WORKING.

PERFECT.

I'M A BLACKSMITH, NOAH!

I'M A BLACKSMITH!

IT'S LIKE ENERGY.

AND JUST STANDING BY IT ALMOST, LIKE, FEEDS OFF OF IT.

AND YOU GET MORE POWERFUL STANDING BY THE FIRE.

FORGE FIRE.

PLEASE DON'T DO THAT.

I'M A DRAGON.

RESPECT THE FORGE.

BEAR'S CLEARLY REALLY ENJOYING HIMSELF.

MY JOB IF TAKING HIS MIND OFF THE BREAK-UP

IS GOING AWESOME --

EVEN TO THE POINT OF HIM FORGETTING SAFETY

FOR A LITTLE BIT.

I INVITED BEAR TO FORGE, NOT JACK BE NIMBLE.

THIS IS WHY WE WANT TO BE CAREFUL AROUND THE FORGE.

IT'S LITERALLY SO HOT THAT IT'S SUPER-BOILING THE WATER.

LET ME SEE THAT THING.

MIND IF I PLAY WITH THIS FOR A SECOND.

BE CAREFUL.

YEAH, I'M CAREFUL AS CAN BE.

HEY, CAN YOU SEE IT GLOWING FROM BACK THERE, NOAH?

YES. I CAN SEE YOUR STUPIDITY.

GET YOURS. LET'S SWORD FIGHT.

COME ON. LET'S DO IT.

HE HAS REALLY FOUND A LOVE FORGING WITH ME,

PLAYING WITH THE EXTREME FIRE AND THE EXTREME FORGING.

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA.

ARE YOU SCARED YOU DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE THE BEAR

IN A GLOWING SWORD SWORD FIGHT?

I'M ACTUALLY CONCERNED YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ONE OF US.

♪♪

OH, MY GOSH.

WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, AND STEPPED OUT OF THE TENT,

IT IS REALLY FOGGY.

THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD SIGN,

'CAUSE I CAN BARELY SEE IN FRONT OF MY FACE.

IT'S DEFINITELY HARDER TO HUNT IN THE FOG, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THE DEER.

THEY ARE OUT THERE.

I'M JUST GONNA WAIT OUT THE FOG.

HOPEFULLY, WHEN IT DOES, THERE'S SOMETHING THERE.

DEFINITELY A GUN SHOT.

THEY DON'T KNOW WE'RE OVER HERE.

AFTER HEARING THAT GUN SHOT, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT ALL THE HUNTERS KNOW THAT I'M HERE.

IT'S DEFINITELY DISCONCERTING, 'CAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH FOG.

I'M NOT SURE IF ANOTHER HUNTER CAN EVEN SEE MY ORANGE,

'CAUSE I CAN BARELY SEE ANYTHING.

JUST HOLD IT!

I'M NOT SURE IF ANOTHER HUNTER CAN EVEN SEE MY ORANGE.

I CAN BARELY SEE ANYTHING.

SO, I'M JUST GONNA RUN,

GO OUT TO THE RIDGE, SO THEY KNOW I AM HERE.

JUST HOLD IT.

HOLD IT!

I THINK HE'S GONE.

♪♪

IT'S DEFINITELY DISCONCERTING TO HEAR SHOTS BEING FIRED SO CLOSE.

THERE IS A PIECE OF ME, YOU KNOW,

IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, BEING LIKE,

"MAYBE I SHOULD JUST GO."

BUT BEING WHO I AM, I'M NOT GOING TO.

I WAS NEVER TAUGHT TO GIVE UP.

I WAS NEVER TAUGHT TO BE SCARED.

I'M GONNA COME BACK WITH A DEER,

AND I'M GONNA COME BACK, AND I'M GONNA COOK IT FOR BEAR.

I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEM, PERSONALLY, WITH THE OSTRICHES.

BUT JUST IN CASE,

I FIGURE IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO GEAR UP A LITTLE BIT.

SOME OF MY SIBLINGS TRIED TO FIND GABE'S WEDDING RING,

BUT IT WAS ALL FROM THE OUTSIDE.

I'M GOING IN THERE.

I'M NOT AFRAID OF AN OSTRICH.

BRING IT ON.

THIS IS A SATELLITE DISH

I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP FROM ROY'S.

REGRETFULLY, SOME OF THE PARTS ON THIS ARE A LITTLE BIT ROUGH.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU GET THINGS FROM A JUNKYARD.

AS A FELLOW MEMBER OF THE MARRIED CLUB,

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO LOSE YOUR WEDDING RING.

IT MEANS A LOT THAT GABE LOST IT.

SO, I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO FIND IT.

THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO BLOCK A BEAK.

♪♪

THEY SEEM TO BE DOCILE FOR ME.

OSTRICHES EAT SHINY THINGS.

SO, RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST GOING THROUGH,

CHECKING ALL OF THEIR FECES.

SEE IF IT'S IN THERE.

WITH BEAR'S WEDDING BEING CALLED OFF,

AND GABE LOSING HIS WEDDING RING,

I WANT TO HELP OUT HOWEVER I CAN.

I GUESS THAT'S KIND OF WHAT A WOLF PACK IS.

THEY'RE KEEPING TO THEIR DISTANCE.

HE'S PROBABLY ACTING CALM BECAUSE HE'S A LITTLE SKITTISH

AFTER THE ALTERCATION WITH GABE.

WITH THE AMOUNT OF SNOW THAT FELL,

THIS IS KIND OF DIFFICULT.

IT COULD BE BURIED.

IT WOULD HELP IF I COULD HAVE GOTTEN GABE TO COME WITH ME,

THAT WAY, HE COULD POINT OUT EXACTLY WHERE IT HAPPENED.

WORK MY WAY THAT WAY.

THIS BEING THAT IT'S DEEP MUD, AND NOT GRAVEL,

MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT.

THE BONFIRE IS LATER TODAY, AND THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT IS FINDING GABE'S WEDDING RING.

BUT I'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT I CAN ON IT FOR NOW.

I CHECKED ALL THE PILES,

AND I CHECKED THE AREA THAT I THINK IT IS.

OKAY.

I'M COMING UP TO AN OPENING WHERE IT'S GOING TO DROP OFF.

THEY COULD BE DOWN THERE.

DEER SEASON IS LITERALLY ALMOST OVER.

IT'S NOW OR NEVER.

WITH EVERYTHING HAPPENING WITH BEAR'S WEDDING, AND EVERYTHING,

IT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO SHOW HIM THAT WE'RE ALL HERE FOR HIM,

AND HE DOESN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS BY HIMSELF.

♪♪

♪♪

HE LOOKS DEAD.

I GOT HIM.

IT DID TAKE ME TWO SHOTS. HE STARTED TO RUN.

I DIDN'T GET HIM THE FIRST TIME.

BUT THE SECOND SHOT GOT HIM.

THANK YOU, BUDDY.

WE WILL EAT YOU, AND USE ALL OF YOU.

I FEEL GOOD.

I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS, I HAVE TO ADMIT,

ESPECIALLY WAKING UP WITH ALL THE FOG, AND EVERYTHING.

BUT IT ALL WORKED OUT IN THE END.

NOW, THE PLAN IS, I'M GONNA FIELD DRESS HIM SUPER FAST,

AND GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE ANY PREDATORS ANY CHANCE TO,

YOU KNOW, TRY AND TAKE MY KILL.

DEER IS DEFINITELY ON THE MENU TONIGHT.

IT ALL WORKED OUT IN THE END.

FIRST, LETS SPREAD IT, AND THEN WE'LL LIGHT IT.

OKAY.

WHERE'S THE FIRE?

IT'S ABOUT TO BE HERE.

ALRIGHT.

BACK AT THE HOME SITE,

WITH TEMPERATURES NOW HOVERING ABOVE FREEZING,

THE WOLF PACK IS READY FOR FIRE.

NOW THAT THE BONFIRE'S SUCCESSFULLY BUILT,

WE JUST HAVE TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF ACCELERANT,

BECAUSE, QUITE FRANKLY, EVERYTHING IS FROZEN.

THE HEAT GENERATED FROM IT

WILL ACTUALLY THAW OUT THE GROUND UNDERNEATH.

IF IT BURNS ALL NIGHT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO DIG IN THE MORNING.

DON'T, LIKE, GET IT ON YOURSELF. - TOO LATE!

WE'RE HOPING THAT THIS BONFIRE WILL GO SMOOTHLY,

BUT I'M ALSO HOPING THAT THIS KIND OF GIVES BEAR

A LITTLE BIT OF SOME HAPPINESS.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE A IT'LL LIFT HIS SPIRITS A LITTLE BIT.

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, GUYS, JUST IN CASE IT GOES BOOM.

- THIS SHOULD BE FUN. - LET'S LIGHT IT.

READY?

- BLAST OFF. - YEAH!

♪♪

HOW'S YOUR END LOOKING, NOAH?

OH, IT'S LIGHTING.

- THERE WE GO. - I SMELL HAIR.

NOW, WE'RE DOING IT.

GOT MY HAIR A LITTLE, YEAH.

OKAY.

- THERE YOU GO. - YEAH! - LET'S BURN THIS THING DOWN!

HEY, GUYS, HOW'S YOUR END LOOKING?

MINE'S LOOKING ROASTED!

- IT'S LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. - IT JUST LOOKING HOT.

WE'RE LITERALLY BREAKING GROUND! - WE ARE.

WE'RE BURNING GROUND.

THAT'S THE TRUTH, MAN.

NOW THAT IS A NICE, MASSIVE FIRE.

I LOVE IT.

THE BIGGER THE FIRE, THE MORE EXTREME IT IS.

WHO'S GONNA BABYSIT THIS ALL NIGHT?

I WILL.

THE BONFIRE WOULD BE BEST IF IT TURNED ALL NIGHT,

SO WE'LL JUST KEEP IT DOWSED

TO MAKE SURE IT BURNS DOWN ALL THE WAY,

BECAUSE WE NEED IT CLEARED, AND WE NEED IT DEFROSTED.

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ERROR. THIS HAS TO WORK.

IF WE CAN'T THAW THE GROUND, AND GET THIS DUG IN TIME

FOR THE CONCRETE DELIVERY THAT'S COMING,

THEN, IT WAS ALL FOR NOUGHT.

IT WAS JUST A WASTE OF TIME,

AND WE'LL LITERALLY HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR TO GET IT FIXED.

NORMALLY, FIRES ARE REALLY THE END OF A HOUSE.

VERY RARELY DO YOU EVER GET TO START A HOUSE WITH FIRE.

-COMING UP...

IS IT COOL IF I COME GET MY RING?

GABE GETS BACK INTO THE RING.

JUMPING OVER THE OSTRICH FENCE. I DON'T WANT ROUND TWO.

-HE'S REALLY EYEBALLING ME.

WHOA!

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE EATEN THIS FOR BREAKFAST.

WHAT I'M MAKING TODAY IS MAPLE CANDY.

I JUST CALL IT "SYRUP CANDY," BECAUSE YOU CAN REALLY MAKE IT

WITH ANY KIND OF SYRUP.

BUT MAPLE IS MY FAVORITE.

WHAT YOU DO IS, YOU HEAT UP THE SYRUP.

AND YOU DON'T WANT IT TO GET TOO HOT.

YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT STIRRED REALLY WELL.

AND THEN, YOU FIND A FRESH PIECE OF SNOW.

I LIKE TO DO LITTLE DROPLETS, LIKE THAT,

AND THEN, GO ALL THE WAY DEEP INTO THE SNOW.

AND THEN, YOU GET LIKE A LITTLE SHELL.

DO A LINE.

IT'S JUST A REALLY NEAT, FUN LITTLE WAY

TO MAKE THESE LITTLE, LIKE, MAPLE SUGAR DROPLETS.

AND IT'S LIKE A LITTLE -- LITTLE PIECES OF CANDY.

PLAYING OUT IN THE SNOW IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS,

AND ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME WILL TELL YOU

I'M A LITTLE BIT ADDICTED TO SUGAR.

SO, YOU MIX THE TWO, IT MAKES A PERFECT LITTLE TREAT.

OOH, JACKPOT.

YEAH.

-IT'S WAY WARMER THAN I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE,

WHICH WILL DEFINITELY HELP.

WITH WINTER HITTING EARLY, BEAR'S WEDDING BEING CANCELED,

AND GABE'S FIGHT WITH AN OSTRICH,

THINGS ARE GOING KIND OF CRAZY.

DESPITE ALL THE FIASCOES,

IT'S JUST REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE PRESS ON.

THIS IS REALLY THE MOMENT OF TRUTH,

TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT EVERYTHING WORKED

HOW IT NEEDS TO BE, AND OUR HARD WORK PAYS OFF.

BASICALLY, AS LONG AS THE BONFIRE THAWED ENOUGH

SO I CAN GET A HOLD INTO THE GROUND,

AND START THE BREAKING UP,

I CAN BE PEELING OFF THE STRIPS OF ICE IF I HAVE TO.

AS LONG AS IT WORKED ENOUGH, THEN, IT'LL DO.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

WE CAN MAKE IT.

OKAY. I GOT IT.

I'M GETTING THROUGH.

IT'S JUST TAKING A WHILE TO GET THROUGH THE LAYER.

THE FIRE HELPED MELT QUITE A BIT OF IT.

THE OUTSIDE EDGES ARE NOWHERE NEAR AS THAWED

AS I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.

THE OUTSIDE EDGE IS STILL A LITTLE BIT FROZEN,

'CAUSE IT WAS THE LEASE CONCENTRATED SPOT WITH THE HEAT.

BUT SINCE THE BONFIRE ACTUALLY DID WORK,

IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT WE CAN GET THIS FINISHED TODAY,

AND START PUTTING IN THE REBAR TOMORROW.

I'M FINALLY STARTING TO BREAK THROUGH THE ICE LAYER.

WE'RE ONE STEP CLOSER

TO BEING ABLE TO PUT IN THE HOUSE FOR MY PARENTS.

HI HO, HI HO, OFF TO HOME WE GO.

OH, MAN. HE IS CIRCLING,

HE IS EYEBALLING ME.

THIS COULD BE A MISTAKE.

DAYS AFTER LOSING HIS WEDDING RING

IN A SCUFFLE WITH THEIR MALE OSTRICH,

GABE GATHERS THE COURAGE TO RE-ENTER THE RING.

SUCH A TINY THING I'M LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW?

IT'S SHINY, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF MUD

WHERE THEY'VE BEEN WALKING.

THERE'S A LOT OF DEEP SNOW

WHERE HERCULES AND I WERE ACTUALLY FIGHTING.

DID Y'ALL SEE MY RING ANYWHERE?

HERCULES DIDN'T EAT IT OUT OF SPITE, DID HE?

ALL OF A SUDDEN, I SEE THIS LITTLE GLIMMER,

A LITTLE SHINE RIGHT THERE.

AND I'M LIKE, "IS THAT PIECE OF GRAVEL?"

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S IT, BUT IT LOOKS SHINY.

I MAY HAVE JUST LUCKED OUT.

IS IT COOL IF I COME GET MY RING?

WELL, I'M COMING IN ANYWAY.

HERE GOES.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...

FOUR AND A HALF.

SO, I JUMPED OVER THE OSTRICH FENCE.

AND I'M THINKING TO MYSELF, "I DON'T WANT ROUND TWO."

I JUST WANT TO GET MY RING, AND GET OUT.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

I'M FEELING LIKE HE'S RIGHT BEHIND ME,

GONNA KICK ME IN THE HEAD.

A LITTLE BIT OF OSTRICH POO, BUT MOSTLY VICTORY.

IT'S JUST THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD TO HAVE MY RING BACK.

IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE PASSED THROUGH AN OSTRICH.

IT DOESN'T MATTER, YOU KNOW? 'CAUSE I GOT IT BACK.

DA DA DA DUN, DA DAH!

YES!

I'M TRYING TO THINK WHEN THE LAST TIME

WE ACTUALLY HAD OFFICIAL DEER BITS COOKED OVER AN OPEN FIRE.

I MEAN, YOU AND I SPECIFICALLY.

PROBABLY BACK IN ALASKA SOMETIME, YEAH.

I WAS GONNA SAY, SOME TIME IN ALASKA.

EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY HAS BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD

TO TRY AND HELP BEAR THROUGH THIS.

I'M COOKING UP SOME JALAPEÑO DEER BITS.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE MOM'S OR DAD'S,

BUT I THINK THEY'LL TASTE PRETTY GOOD.

YOU KNOW, THE OLD DEER BITS HAS ALWAYS BEEN

ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITE WAYS TO EAT DEER.

COOKED UP WITH JALAPEÑOS JUST LIKE MAMA USED TO MAKE.

HE DEFINITELY SEEMS TO BE GETTING BACK TO HIMSELF.

I CAN SEE IN HIS EYES HE'S STILL HURTING,

BUT I'M HOPING THAT THE DEER BITS WILL HELP PUSH THAT ALONG.

GOOD GET ON THE DEER, THOUGH. OH, THANK YOU.

NICE JOB.

SO, HUNTING IS A LOT LIKE LIFE.

SOMETIMES, YOU GO OUT, IT'S A HARD ROAD.

YOU GET SOMETHING.

AND THEN, SOMETIMES, YOU GO OUT,

YOU THINK YOU HAVE SOMETHING, AND YOU DON'T.

IN THE LONG RUN, EVERY STORM PASSES.

IT'S TRUE.

IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE OKAY.

AS LONG AS YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

THE ENTIRE FAMILY IS HERE FOR YOU.

AND I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU.

TOO BAD IT'S NOT THANKSGIVING, BIRD,

I'D BE SAYING EVERYTHING I WAS THANKFUL FOR.

I'M CERTAINLY THANKFUL FOR SOME DEER BITS,

AND THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU AS MY LITTLE SISTER.

I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE HOW MUCH LIKE

BIRD HAS WENT THROUGH SO MUCH

TO GET A DEER, AND THEN TO BRING IT OUT,

YOU KNOW, IN DEER BIT PIECES WITH JALAPEÑOS.

CAN'T BEAT JALAPEÑOS.

OH, YEAH, THERE YOU GO.

MMM. THAT'S GOOD.

HAVING THE SUPPORT OF THE WOLF PACK AROUND IS ALWAYS NICE.

AND SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO NORMAL,

I'D SAY, FOR SURE.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THERE YOU GO, BIRDY.

BUT WE HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT,

WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH, THE FAMILY'S BOND,

THE FAMILY'S COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER,

THE STRENGTH THAT YOU GET THROUGH THAT

IS WHAT BONDS A TRUE FAMILY.

THAT'S WHAT A FAMILY IS.

AND I THINK THAT'S ONE THING THAT MAKES US EXTREMELY STRONG.

RAIN!

- WHAT'S UP? - I FOUND MY RING.

WHAT? YOU'RE LUCKY THAT THEY DIDN'T EAT IT.

I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT THEY DIDN'T,

IT DID SMELL A LITTLE FUNKY.

US COMING TOGETHER IN ADVERSITY,

STICKING TOGETHER, AND HAVING FAITH

AND TRUST IN EACH OTHER, LIKE WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD --

THAT'S THE WAY WE'VE SURVIVED OUR WHOLE LIVES

AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY, BUT IT'S WHAT MAKES US STRONG.

WHEN WE'RE ALL FOCUSED, AND TOGETHER,

OUR FAITH IN EACH OTHER, AND OUR FAITH IN GOD,

WE'RE TO BE RECKONED, WITH I GUARANTEE IT.

AND WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE ANYTHING

WE'VE DONE WITHOUT IT.

DO DEER BITS COOKED THIS GOOD,

I MIGHT BE STICKING AROUND A LITTLE LONGER.

I'M PRETTY BUSY, BUT I CAN ARRANGE SOMETHING.

JUST SAY -- JUST SAYING THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME.

NOW, YOU'RE A LITTLE BUSY.

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

-THAT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE ANY OF US.

WE NEED TO LET THEM KNOW THIS IS OUR TERRITORY.

WE NEED A FENCE, IS WHAT WE NEED.

DUDE, YOU'RE TEARING UP YOUR SWEATER.

I RIPPED MY PANTS.

WE NEED A BETTER WAY TO GET THESE THINGS AROUND.

WELL, DAD WAS TALKING ABOUT STARTING TO WORK

WITH THE HORSES.

WHEN YOU PUT THE REINS ON HIS NECK, HE'S GONNA TURN.

THEY'RE CALLING FOR 30 INCHES.

UGH!

-I THINK WE'RE READY FOR CONCRETE.

-OOH, WOW. THAT'S SHEER ICE.

THE CEMENT TRUCKS ARE COMING, IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT

THAT WE MAKE THE ROADS SAFE FOR THEM TO MAKE IT.

-IF THEY CAN'T MAKE IT UP,

IT'S GONNA BE SUMMER BEFORE WE CAN GET THE FOUNDATION IN.

WINTER, GUYS, IS COMING IN.
