- YOU READY? - I GUESS.

- I HAVE DIAPERS. - CLASSIC.

OKAY.

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?

WELL, THAT'S FOR YOU TO TELL ME.

RAQUELL IS GOING TO BE GIVING BIRTH VERY SOON.

THE DUE DATE'S IN LESS THAN A WEEK.

SO I'M SO NERVOUS.

IT'S CANDY.

IT'S CANDY? REALLY?

THEY'RE CANDY BARS.

THIS ONE WOULD BE MORE OF A REGULAR,

HAS GOOD COLORATION.

IT HAS GOOD YELLOW CHUNKS IN THERE.

THIS IS TOO THICK. TA-DA.

HE WOULD LITERALLY BE CONSTIPATED.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO, LIKE, PUT IT TO YOUR NOSE OR ANYTHING

TO IDENTIFY WHAT'S WRONG.

THE DIAPER TEST IS JUST A FUN WAY TO REALIZE

ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS A BABY POOPS.

THERE'S HARD WAYS AND THERE'S CREAMY WAYS

AND THERE IS EXPLOSIVE WAYS.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO HELP GABE REALIZE

A BABY IS A LOT TO PREPARE FOR.

THANK Y'ALL GUYS FOR THE TIPS AND TRICKS.

AND DON'T FORGET A DIAPER WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO.

- RIGHT? - YEAH. SNACK FOR THE ROAD.

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

THAT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE ANY OF US.

WE NEED TO LET THEM KNOW THIS IS OUR TERRITORY.

DUDE, YOU'RE TEARING UP YOUR SWEATER.

WELL, I RIPPED MY PANTS.

WE NEED A BETTER WAY TO GET THESE THINGS AROUND.

WELL, DA WAS TALKING ABOUT

STARTING TO WORK WITH THE HORSES.

GOD DANG IT.

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

THEY'RE CALLING FOR 30 INCHES.

I THINK WE'RE READY FOR CONCRETE.

- OH, 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 WE CAN'T MAKE IT UP, IT'S GOING TO BE SUMMER

BEFORE WE CAN GET THE FOUNDATION IN.

MOMENT OF TRUTH, GUYS. IT'S COMING IN.

I WAS THINKING TO SWORD FIGHT, BUT YEAH.

AS FALL NEARS ITS END IN WASHINGTON'S BORDERLANDS,

THE WOLF PACK IS READY

TO SOLIDIFY THEIR MAIN HOME'S FOUNDATION

WITH THE CRITICAL DELIVERY OF CEMENT

ARRIVING IN JUST A FEW DAYS.

BUT FOR BROTHER GABE,

THE WEEK AHEAD HAS ADDED SIGNIFICANCE.

MAN, THE NINE MONTHS HAS FLOWN BY.

NOW IT'S, LIKE, JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

IT'S CRAZY TO THINK I'LL BE WELCOMING

A DAUGHTER INTO THE WORLD LESS THAN A WEEK.

HOLD THIS STEADY. I'LL HAVE TO TIE THIS ONE FIRST.

OKAY.

THERE'S A LOT TO DO.

EVERYBODY'S PRETTY MUCH SPREAD AS THIN AS THEY CAN GET.

HAVING A BABY, OF COURSE, TAKES PRECEDENCE

OVER EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT THE BIG HOUSE

IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROJECTS WE'VE EVER DONE.

EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW,

I JUST WANT TO GET IT TO A POINT WHERE I FEEL COMFORTABLE

CUT THEIR REBAR INTO USABLE PIECES FOR THE MAIN HOUSE.

IF THE FAMILY PLANS TO BUILD THROUGH WINTER,

THEIR FOUNDATION WILL NEED TO BE READY

FOR THE UPCOMING CEMENT DELIVERY.

WE HAVE LITERALLY PUSHED THIS AS LONG AS WE CAN FOR THE SEASON.

NUMBER ONE, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO GET A CONCRETE TRUCK UP HERE.

AND THE GUYS WE'VE GOT COMING ARE GOOD MEN

THAT ARE TRYING TO HELP US.

WE CAN'T LET THEM COME UP HERE

AND US NOT BE READY AND THEN TURN AROUND

AND TAKE IT BACK DOWN BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE BACK.

IT'S JUST SO COOL THE WAY IT CUTS THROUGH IT.

CAN I DO ONE?

SHE REALLY WANTS TO.

OKAY, BUT GRAB THE GLOVES.

I DON'T NEED G--

- GRAB THE GLOVES. - I'M GRABBING THE GLOVES

IF IT TURNS OFF, DON'T FREAK OUT. GO.

NOAH'S CUTTING TORCH, IT'S SO FUN.

I JUST LOVE THE WAY IT GETS SO HOT IT MELTS.

IT'S JUST VERY POWERFUL.

LIKE, YOU CAN FEEL THE POWER IN THE FLAME.

THERE YOU GO.

EVEN THOUGH THE MAIN HOUSE IS --

IT'S PRIMARILY MOM'S AND DA'S HOUSE,

YOU KNOW, AND EVENTUALLY, LIKE, GABE AND NOAH

WILL HAVE THE OFFSHOOTS OF THEIR HOUSES.

I WANT TO GET THIS DONE FOR MOM AND DAD, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE THIS BIG HOUSE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE

THE BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT WE'VE HAD.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M GOING TO BE LIVING THERE.

ONCE A MOUSE FINDS A SPOT THAT IT LIKES,

THAT'S WET.

ALASKA, I THOUGHT, HAD A TON OF MICE.

OUR RODENT PROBLEM SEEMS TO ACTUALLY BE GETTING EVEN WORSE.

EAT UP, RATS.

THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT THE BIGGEST I'VE EVER SEEN

BACK IN ALASKA.

HERE, THOUGH, JUDGING FROM TRAPS

AND A FEW THAT I'VE SEEN FROM A DISTANCE,

RATS ARE MORE LIKE SMALL DOGS.

AS IT'S GETTING COLDER,

THEY'RE ALL TRYING TO FIND SOMEWHERE WARM,

WHICH MEANS ALL OF OUR HOUSES,

OUR BARN, AND THEY'RE JUST EVERYWHERE.

THEY'VE WREAKED HAVOC IN HERE.

HOW YOU DOING TODAY, GUYS AND GALS?

WITH THE WINTER MONTHS APPROACHING,

THE BROWNS DIVIDE AND CONQUER

TO PREPARE FOR THE MOUNTAINS' MOST UNPREDICTABLE SEASON.

HI, BUDDY.

I LEARNED THAT YOU ARE NEVER PREPARED FOR WINTER.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK,

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, IT ALWAYS CATCHES YOU IN A RUT.

BUT WE HAVE TOO MUCH WORK TO DO TO WORRY ABOUT BEING UNPREPARED.

OOPS.

WHEN OLD MOTHER WINTER COMES KNOCKING ON THE DOOR,

YOU WANT TO HAVE AN AMPLE SUPPLY OF FIREWOOD.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE EVERYBODY TRYING TO PICK UP SLACK

WHILE I'M GONE.

I WANT TO DO MY PART,

KIND OF GET EVERYTHING STACKED OUT

SO THAT WHILE I'M GONE,

I'M NOT CAUSING MORE PROBLEM FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.

GIVE ME A QUARTER. DO YOU HAVE A QUARTER?

WAIT. I HAVE ONE.

YES.

OH, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I WOULD JUST PLAN FOR YOU NOT TO --

OKAY, LET'S HOPE THIS WORKS. THINK IT'LL WORK?

I'M A-HOPING.

KNOTTY PIECE OF WOOD, CORNER POCKET.

WON'T TAKE MUCH WITH THIS ONE.

NO, IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE ANY OF US.

I THINK THAT WAS SOMEONE ELSE.

WHEN YOU HEAR A GUNSHOT RING OUT

AND YOU KNOW IT'S NOT ONE OF THE WOLF PACK,

IT'S A SCARY SITUATION, YOU KNOW?

BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO, WHAT, WHERE.

THAT WAS REALLY CLOSE.

THAT WAS LIKE RIGHT THERE.

GROWING UP, WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF HUNTERS AROUND.

UP HERE, NOT EVERY HUNTER IS AS SAFE AS THEY SHOULD BE.

- WE SHOULD GET OUT OF HERE. - YEAH.

WE'LL HEAD BACK TO CAMP.

♪♪

THE LAND SURROUNDING THE BROWNS' RANCH

IS OPEN HUNTING TERRITORY.

WITH ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT IN WASHINGTON'S DEER SEASON,

A SURGE OF HUNTERS HAVE ENCROACHED ON THEIR PROPERTY.

MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THEM NOT KNOWING

THAT WE HAVE OUR RANCH HERE.

IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE INCIDENT I HAD WHILE HUNTING

WHEN I HEARD THE GUNSHOT, AND IT'S LIKE --

I GUESS IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S JUST GOING TO HAPPEN.

♪♪

WE'RE GETTING, LIKE, A LOT OF HUNTERS

AND STUFF, LIKE, ON THE PROPERTY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ACCESS POINT THEY'RE COMING THROUGH.

THEY'RE JUST COMING UP THE ROAD.

I MEAN, THE ROAD IS PUBLIC PROPERTY UP TO A CERTAIN POINT.

WE'RE ACTUALLY BACKED UP TO A LOT OF LAND

THAT NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO BUILD ON.

BUT MOST PEOPLE CAN HUNT ON THAT.

SO IT'S EASY FOR OUR PROPERTY TO GET MIXED IN.

FOR US, ONE PERSON ACCIDENTALLY

WANDERING INTO OUR PROPERTY HUNTING IS ONE TOO MANY.

WE COULD ALWAYS PUT SOME HEADS ON PIKES.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT SENDS THE RIGHT MESSAGE.

IT DEFINITELY SENDS A MESSAGE.

WE DO NEED SOME CLEAR MARKERS.

WE NEED A FENCE IS WHAT WE NEED.

SURROUNDING THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.

WITH, LIKE, SPIKES.

YEAH, BUT IT'S LIKE 400-SOMETHING ACRES.

THAT'S A BIT MUCH.

WHAT IF WE JUST FENCE OFF,

LIKE, WHERE WE KNOW THEY'RE COMING FROM?

THEY'RE COMING IN THROUGH THE ACCESS POINTS.

TRUE.

LET'S START ON FOOT AND SEE HOW HARD IT'S GOING TO BE.

START FENCING IT OFF.

IT SOUNDS EASY SAYING, "OH, WE'RE NOT GOING TO FENCE OFF

THE ENTIRE 400 ACRES.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO DO THE ACCESS POINTS."

BUT ALMOST NONE OF THEM YOU CAN TAKE A CAR TO.

YOU HAVE TO WALK, WHICH MEANS

YOU HAVE TO CARRY ALL THE FENCE SUPPLIES.

ONLY AN IDIOT IS GOING TO COME HOP A FENCE

IF YOU COME TO A FENCE LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL PUT POSTED PRIVATE PROPERTY HERE

AND THERE THROUGHOUT THE FENCE. AND PEOPLE WILL KNOW.

OH, MY SWEET LOVEY, WHAT'S WRONG?

SPEAKING OF BABIES, GABE.

I KNOW, YEAH.

WE GOT TO GET THE FENCE PUT IN

BEFORE I TAKE OFF TO HAVE THE BABY.

AND WE'RE GOING TO BE POURING CEMENT SOON.

I MEAN, THE TRUCKS ARE GOING TO BE UP HERE VERY QUICKLY,

AND THE COLD WEATHER

IS NOT GOING TO BE VERY FAR BEHIND THEM.

I WANT TO MAKE THE MOUNTAIN AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE

BEFORE WE LEAVE.

WITH US GONE, LIKE,

IT'S GOING TO BE THAT MANY EYES THAT AREN'T LOOKING OUT,

THOSE MANY EARS THAT AREN'T LISTENING FOR DANGER.

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ANYBODY IN THE LURCH.

OH, MY GOSH.

OH, MY GOSH.

OVERNIGHT, WASHINGTON'S ERRATIC WEATHER STRIKES,

AND THE BROWNS' 4,000-FOOT MOUNTAIN

HAS RECEIVED A MAJOR SNOWFALL.

A LOT OF SNOW LAST NIGHT.

IT DUMPED A COUPLE FEET, AS YOU CAN TELL.

SO THAT JUST MEANS GOING AROUND AND DIGGING OUT

EVERYTHING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO GET BURIED

OR THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE IT IS LATER ON.

ONCE IT FREEZES DOWN, THOUGH, IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY HARD.

WELL, WINTER HIT EARLY.

I HAVE SEVERAL OF MY BEAMS THAT ARE ACTUALLY BENT.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE LAB IS GOING TO SURVIVE THE WINTER.

US GETTING THIS MUCH SNOW RIGHT NOW

IS DEFINITELY NOT IDEAL.

THIS MUCH SNOW ISN'T JUST GOING TO MAKE IT HARD

FOR THE CEMENT TRUCKS TO COME UP.

IT'S ALSO GOING TO MAKE IT HARD TO FENCE OFF THE ACCESS POINTS.

DEFINITELY NOT WHAT I WANTED TO WAKE UP TO.

- THAT'S GUNFIRE. - IT'S DEFINITELY A GUNSHOT.

A ROGUE HUNTER'S GUNSHOT

HAS LAUNCHED THE WOLF PACK INTO DEFENSIVE ACTION.

WE NEED A FENCE IS WHAT WE NEED SURROUNDING THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.

TO PROTECT THEIR LAND,

THE SIBLINGS SPLIT UP TO FENCE OFF CRITICAL ACCESS POINTS.

WE'VE PUT UP FENCES IN THE PAST,

MADE THEM OUT OF STICKS OR EVEN BARBED WIRE.

DONE BARBED WIRE FENCING TOO.

NOT IN THE WINTER. NOT IN THE WINTER AT ALL.

HANG ON. LOSING FENCING.

GOT IT?

OKAY, MAYBE ONE OF US SHOULD PUSH.

BARBED WIRE IS NOT LIGHT, LET ME TELL YOU.

TRUDGING THROUGH THE SNOW WITH THAT

AND THE POLES KEEP WANTING TO FALL OFF THE SLED

DEFINITELY MAKES IT A BIT MORE DIFFICULT.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ME TO TAKE A TURN.

I WILL.

- JUST SHOVELING A WALKWAY OUT. - IT'S SUPER DEEP.

YEAH, IT'S DEEPER THAN YOU THINK.

IT'S LIKE UP MY BELT.

I DO NOT HAVE THE CALF MUSCLES I THOUGHT I DID.

AND REST.

IT'D BE GREAT IF WE HAD SOME SORT OF VEHICLE TO DO THIS,

BUT WE CAN'T GET CARS UP HERE,

WE CAN'T GET FOUR WHEELERS UP HERE.

ALMOST TO THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY.

WE'RE DOING IT BY FOOT AND JUST TRYING

TO GET EVERYTHING DONE BEFORE I HAVE TO LEAVE.

OKAY, I'M THINKING ABOUT HERE

BECAUSE THIS IS AROUND THE PROPERTY EDGE.

OKAY.

AAH.

BARBED WIRE'S THERE.

BARBED WIRE'S SHARP.

DO WE HAVE A STICK OR SOMETHING?

DO WE HAVE A STICK?

I SEE SOME.

DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE OR ANYTHING?

I CAN'T KEEP A KNIFE TO SAVE MY LIFE.

SHOOT IT.

AS MUCH AS I LOVE THAT IDEA, NO.

YES. WHO'S HERE TO STOP US?

NO. SHOOT IT.

NO. SHOOT IT.

YOU'RE LOGGING WITH A GUN.

YEAH!

THAT'S HOW YOU LOG WITH A PISTOL.

BIRD AND I OUT HERE WITH OUR HANDS IN FOUR FOOT OF SNOW

WITH NO TOOLS EXCEPT FOR EACH OTHER.

I JUST FEEL LIKE WE'RE VERY UNDERPREPARED.

SO LET'S START WITH THIS GUY HERE.

GO AROUND THE TREE.

- DON'T CUT YOUR PANTS. - TOO LATE.

- CAREFUL. - YEP.

DON'T HURT YOURSELF.

I NEED THE WIRE.

CAREFUL. DUDE, YOU'RE TEARING UP YOUR SWEATER.

IT'S THE BARBED WIRE TEARING IT UP.

IT'S DEFINITELY EASY TO GET HURT.

EVEN I COULD BE THE ONE THAT ENDS UP GETTING HURT

BECAUSE THIS STUFF IS JUST PRICKLY.

IT'S HARD NOT TO. I'VE ALREADY STABBED MYSELF

IN THE HAND LIKE FIVE TIMES SINCE WE'VE BEEN OUT HERE.

OW, OW, OW, OW. RIGHT IN THE KNUCKLE.

SEE, I'M FEELING GOOD ABOUT THIS.

AT FIRST I WASN'T 100% SURE, BUT NOW I LIKE IT.

IT'S AT LEAST A START. AND LIKE YOU SAID,

IT'S GOING TO SHOW PEOPLE

- WHERE OUR PROPERTY IS. - YEAH.

YOU SMELL THAT, BAM?

WOOD SMOKE.

AND IT'S NOT COMING FROM -- I DON'T SMELL IT.

YOU DON'T?

NO, I SMELL WOOD SMOKE FOR SURE COMING FROM THIS WAY,

THE SAME WAY THE WIND'S BLOWING.

ANYBODY THERE? HELLO?

DEFINITE FIRE RIGHT HERE.

JUDGING FROM THE BUILD-UP IN IT,

IT'S SUNK DOWN PRETTY GOOD,

I'D SAY THAT THIS FIRE WAS PROBABLY LIT NOT THAT LONG AGO.

I MEAN, IT'S STILL TOTALLY ON FIRE.

GOT COAL.

WHICH EXPLAINS WHY I COULD SMELL IT.

SOMEONE HAS DEFINITELY BEEN HERE REALLY, REALLY RECENTLY.

THAT'S DEFINITELY A CONCERN.

IT JUST SHOWS THAT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR BAM AND I

TO GO AHEAD AND GET THIS FENCE UP AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.

WE DON'T REALLY WANT PEOPLE COMING IN AND CAMPING

AND HUNTING THAT CLOSE TO OUR PROPERTY.

LET'S SNIP THIS OFF

AND THEN GO PUT ANOTHER ONE UP SOMEWHERE ELSE.

PUTTING THESE FENCES UP IS A LOT HARDER

THAN WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.

WHEN YOU GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND FIGURE OUT SOMETHING.

WE CAN'T DO IT BY HAND ON FOOT THROUGH THE SNOW

UP THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN.

WE NEED A BETTER WAY TO GET THESE THINGS AROUND.

TRADE IN CUPCAKE, GET SOME SLED DOGS.

OOH, SLED DOGS ARE A GOOD IDEA.

HI, EVERYBODY.

MAMA'S HOME.

AFTER A DAY OF FENCE WORK,

BIRD TAKES TIME FOR A SIDE PROJECT --

BATTLING THE MOUNTAIN'S RODENT PROBLEM

WITH HER ARMY OF CATS.

ON THE MOUNTAIN, THERE ARE SO MANY RATS.

ANYTHING WE PUT UP, THEY THINK IT'S THEIR HOME.

SO I DECIDED TO GET MY CATS INVOLVED.

ANY TIME YOU HAVE A MOUSE PROBLEM,

YOU IMMEDIATELY THINK "I NEED A CAT."

I HAVE A LOT OF CATS.

SCRATCH ON THE TABLE.

FRISKIES THE GRAY TABBY DOWN THERE.

BYE-BYE AND WALKER ARE MY TWO WHITE ONES TOGETHER.

FERNANDO.

WE'RE OVERRUN WITH PACK RATS AND MICE,

AND I THINK THEY'RE HIDING IN THE WALLS.

Y'ALL NEED TO DO THE INSIDE JOB.

I HAVE SOME THAT ARE BEST OUTSIDE,

SOME ARE BETTER INSIDE.

I HAVE SOME IN TRAINING, EVEN.

SOME OF MY LITTLE ONES ARE STILL LEARNING TO HUNT.

I DEFINITELY HAVE, LIKE, A LITTLE CAT ARMY GOING ON.

PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY ELSE IN MY FAMILY DESPISES RATS.

TO BE HONEST, I WILL EVEN HOLD THEM.

I DON'T MIND.

THE FIRST PACK RAT I SAW, I GRABBED IT

BY THE NAPE OF ITS NECK TO GET RID OF IT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE A SQUIRREL.

IT WASN'T.

THERE ARE A LOT OF Y'ALL.

SO I'M EXPECTING YOU TO GET QUITE A FEW.

BIRD, SHE LOVES MICE AND HATES THEM.

SO IF THERE ARE MICE IN HER VICINITY,

SHE WILL LITERALLY GRAB THEM WITH THEIR HANDS

LIKE SHE'S A CAT AND JUST CRUNCH THEM.

SHE'S NOT SQUEAMISH WHEN IT COMES TO MICE,

BUT SHE STILL DOESN'T LIKE TO SLEEP WITH THEM IN HER BED.

OKAY, I'LL SEE Y'ALL IN A BIT.

YOU CAN'T DO BETTER THAN THIS RIGHT HERE.

NO ROADS NEEDED, NO ANYTHING.

WE'RE GOING TO TIE ON A HORSE TO ALL THE STUFF

THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE CARRYING,

AND HE SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF

THROUGH THE WOODS WITH THAT.

BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RIDE A HORSE.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HORSES.

AND DA GREW UP RODEOING AND RACING

AND ON THE BACK OF A HORSE.

SO HE'S THE PERFECT PERSON TO TEACH ME.

PUT HIS LITTLE NOSE IN THERE.

- IN THAT PART? - YEAH.

AND JUST GIVE IT A HOLD LIKE THIS WHEN YOU GET IN.

PUT YOUR ARM AROUND HIM.

- AROUND HIS HEAD? - YEAH.

NICE, SLOW, AND EASY.

- OKAY. LIKE I'M COURTING A GIRL? - YEP.

HE DOESN'T KNOW YOU, SO MOVE REALLY SLOW.

I'M GONNA PUT YOUR HARNESS ON IN A SECOND.

I FORGET WHAT YOU CALL IT.

IT'S A HALTER.

I'M GONNA PUT YOUR HALTER ON.

BE PATIENT WITH THE KID, OKAY?

I WAS SO WORRIED BEFORE WE CAME UP WITH THE HORSE IDEA

ABOUT GETTING THIS FENCE UP AND HELPING SECURE THE MOUNTAIN

BEFORE I TOOK OFF TO HAVE A BABY.

THE HORSE IS GONNA MAKE IT POSSIBLE.

BUT I AM SO, LIKE, EXCITED AND NERVOUS.

I'M JUST TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION

SO I DON'T GET HIM HURT OR MYSELF.

COME ON, DIEGO. WE'RE GONNA GO FOR A WALK, OKAY?

DO I WANT HIM ON MY LEFT SIDE OR MY RIGHT SIDE?

YOU STAY ON THE LEFT.

TAKE YOUR TIME. LET HIM LOOK AROUND.

DON'T LET HIM -- DON'T WRAP THAT AROUND YOUR ARM, MAN.

HAND? NO, JUST HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND.

HE'S STOUT. HE'LL PULL YOUR ARM OFF, MAN.

IF HE GOT EXCITED AND TOOK OFF, HE'D POP YOUR ARM OFF.

OKAY.

WALK DOWN THE BARN LIKE YOU'RE IN A SHOW RING.

HOW DO YOU IT IN A SHOW ROOM?

SHOW RING.

YOU TELL HIM YOU'RE GOING.

ALRIGHT, DIEGO, COME ON. COME ON, LET'S GO.

ATTABOY, GABE.

YEAH. YEAH.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

YEAH, STRUT YOUR STUFF.

THIS IS HOW YOU GET AROUND NOW?

WHEN YOU GO TO WORK,

YOU PUT YOUR CHAINSAW ON HIM AND TAKE OFF.

OH, MAN. YEAH.

THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT A HORSE WILL SPEED THE FENCING UP

REALLY EASY BECAUSE HE CAN CARRY STUFF

RIGHT TO WHERE THEY'RE GOING.

A CAR SURE CAN'T.

I THINK IT'S GREAT.

YOU KNOW, KEEP HIM SETTLED

AND GET TO KNOW EVERYTHING REALLY GOOD.

WE'LL GET A SADDLE ON HIM, SEE HOW HE ACTS.

SOUNDS GOOD. WHICH I THINK HE'LL BE FINE.

HOW DO YOU THINK I'LL DO?

WE'LL SEE.

YOU KNOW, A LOT CAN GO WRONG

UNTIL YOU FINALLY GET THE NICHE OF IT

AND GET TO LEARNING IT AND ALL.

I JUST HOPE HE DOESN'T GET TOO HURT BEFORE HE GETS IT DOWN.

I KNOW HOW YOU DRIVE.

DON'T DRIVE HIM LIKE THAT.

I'LL LET HIM DO THE DRIVING.

-COMING UP...

ONE OF THE MAIN RULES -- GET ON THE HORSE.

...GABE GETS IN THE SADDLE FOR THE FIRST TIME.

-WHOA. WHOA, DIEGO.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW?

WHOA.

I'M GOING TO PULL THIS ONE TIGHT.

YOU PULL THE SLED UP THAT WAY.

YOU SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH TO DO IT.

- WHOA. - WATCH YOUR FACE, MAN.

AS HUNTERS ENCROACH ON THEIR PROPERTY LINE,

THE BROWNS INSTALL FENCING ALONG MAIN ACCESS POINTS.

ABOUT THAT LEVEL OR LOWER?

NO, THAT'S GOOD.

BUT WITH A SNOWSTORM JEOPARDIZING

THEIR CRITICAL DELIVERY OF CEMENT,

THE WOLF PACK RUSHES TO PREPARE THEIR ICY ROAD FOR SAFE PASSAGE.

JUST SPRINKLING SOME MAGIC FAIRY DUST ON EVERYTHING.

I HOPE THIS HELPS.

HOPEFULLY IT WILL,

BECAUSE IT WOULD TOTALLY SUCK

IF THE GUY GETS ALL THE WAY UP HERE WITH THE VEHICLE

AND CAN'T PULL IN.

AND HE'S LIKE, "SORRY, GUYS, I CAN'T DO IT."

THE ROAD GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN

IS A PRETTY TREACHEROUS ROAD.

SO WITH THE COLD AND THE ICE AND THE SNOW,

IT MAKES IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS.

SO IT'S BEST TO GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

I'M GONNA GO GRAB ANOTHER SHOVEL.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO GRAB ANOTHER PICK, TOO.

I MIGHT'VE BROKEN THIS ONE.

IT'S DEFINITELY IMPORTANT TO PUT UP THE FENCE,

BUT THE CEMENT TRUCKS ARE COMING IN ANY DAY.

AND IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE THE ROADS SAFE

BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T THINK IT'S SAFE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT,

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME UP.

YOU BROKE MY PICKAX, HUH?

WELL, THE GROUND KIND OF DID IT.

WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT, IT'S JUST A SLOW GO.

YEAH, ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE BREAK TOOLS.

YEAH, BREAK THE PICKAXES.

ALRIGHT, MOVE OVER. LET MAMA WORK.

RAIN AND I ARE COLLECTING GRAVEL FOR THE ROAD.

WE'RE GOING TO PICK OUT THE ROAD A LITTLE BIT

AND PUT THE GRAVEL ON IT

BECAUSE IT'S JUST GOING TO GIVE THE TRUCK A LITTLE BIT OF TREAD.

LUCKILY, WE HAVE ENOUGH SALT TO DO A BIG PART OF THE ROAD.

WE JUST GET IT ALL ALONG THE SIDES,

GET THE MAIN ICY PARTS DONE,

- THE STEEP PARTS. - YEP.

IF HE TRIES TO COME UP HERE AND HE CAN'T MAKE IT UP,

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

JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THE RUNWAY IS CLEAR.

NOW, WHEN YOU'RE GETTING ON A HORSE,

ONE OF THE MAIN RULES,

GET ON THE HORSE.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HORSES,

BUT IF IT WORKS OUT LIKE WE'RE THINKING IT'S GOING TO,

IT'S GOING TO MAKE THE FENCING PROJECT POSSIBLE.

DON'T PULL HIM OVER.

DON'T HANG ON HIM.

DON'T ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

TAKE IT EASY ON HIM AND TRY TO JUST STEP UP

RIGHT LEG OVER INTO THE SADDLE.

HE'S THE PERFECT HORSE FOR THE JOB.

I JUST NEED TO LEARN HOW TO RIDE HIM.

IF YOU START TO COME OFF,

DON'T GET HANGING OFF THE SIDE OF HIM

AND TRY TO HANG ON.

- OKAY. - GET THE HECK OFF. JUST LET GO.

WHAT IF MY FOOT'S STUCK?

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

IT'S A GREAT LOVE OF MINE.

IT WAS A GREAT LOVE OF MY DAD, MY GRANDDAD.

WE GO WAY BACK WITH THIS.

IT'S THAT TIME, BROTHER.

- DO I DO IT? - YEAH.

WHOA. IT'S REALLY HIGH.

IS THE SADDLE LOOSE?

WHOA, WHOA. OKAY. STRAIGHTEN IT UP.

YOU KNOW, I'M LIKE ANY DAD.

I HAVE HOPES, DREAMS, PRAYERS, ANTICIPATIONS.

IT TICKLES ME TO DEATH TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

CINCH IT DOWN TIGHT.

MY DAD TAUGHT ME ALL THIS STUFF.

OF COURSE, I WAS A LITTLE SMALLER THAN YOU ARE.

- HOW OLD WERE YOU? - THREE OR FOUR.

YEARS OLD?

YEAH. WOW.

SO YOU'RE PROBABLY LIKE AN OLD HORSE THAT'S BEEN AROUND.

YEAH, I AM. A LOT.

READY TO TRY AGAIN?

YEAH. GIVE IT A SHOT.

YOU'RE NOT NERVOUS, ARE YOU?

OH, MY GOSH. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN YOU THIS NERVOUS.

OF COURSE NOT.

IN MY LIFE.

I REALLY HAVEN'T.

GET ON UP THERE. LEAN ON HIM.

GOD DANG IT. ATTABOY.

NOW STRAIGHT IN THE SADDLE. EASY DOES IT.

GABE, WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO IS

JUST GIVE HIM A LITTLE JUST GO KIND OF THING.

AND WALK HIM AROUND.

LEFT HAND DOES THE DRIVING.

GO AHEAD.

GABE, DON'T SHAKE THE REINS. YOU'RE CONFUSING HIM.

GIVE HIM SOME SLACK WITH THE REINS, KID.

WHEN YOU PUT THE REINS ON THE NECK,

HE'S GOING TO TURN, SO QUIT.

KEEP HIM STRAIGHT. NOW STOP HIM.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

YOU'LL GROW INTO THAT PART.

GABE, YOU DON'T NEED ME ANYMORE.

YEAH? NO, YOU GOT IT.

I'M SO PROUD I COULD POP.

HE IS MORE INTO THE RANCH, I THINK, THAN ANYONE.

GABE WILL DEFINITELY MAKE A GOOD DAD.

OKAY, I'M GONNA GET OUT OF HERE.

OKAY.

BE SURE TO PUT EVERYTHING UP AND TAKE CARE OF HIM, OKAY?

WILL DO.

PEANUT BUTTER'S GONE OFF THAT ONE.

IF I DO FIND ANY PACK RATS,

I THINK I WANT TO DO SOMETHING NICE FOR THE CATS,

COOK THEM UP SOMETHING.

I GOT ONE. HERE WE GO.

IT'S A PRETTY GOOD SIZE.

AND YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?

MORE OR LESS.

AND AFTER HEARING GUNSHOTS RING OUT ACROSS THE PROPERTY,

BROTHER GABE IS DETERMINED TO UTILIZE THE FAMILY'S HORSES

TO SECURE A FENCE AROUND THE RANCH.

IF IT WORKS OUT LIKE WE'RE THINKING,

IT'S GOING TO HELP US OUT SO MUCH

JUST NOT TO HAVE TO HAUL ALL THIS STUFF.

I LIKE DIEGO'S LOOK IN HIS EYE.

HE SEEMS PRETTY CONFIDENT.

MAYBE A LITTLE WARY OF YOU, I'M NOT SURE.

DOING MORE HORSE TRAINING TODAY.

IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY COOL TO KIND OF SHOW BEAR

HOW I DO THINGS, YOU KNOW.

FIGURE I CAN WATCH YOU, SEE WHAT NOT TO DO.

HE'S TEASING A LITTLE. HE'S JABBING HERE AND THERE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO STAY FOCUSED, STAY CALM,

NOT LET BEAR BEING HERE THROW ME OFF MY GAME.

SHOW HIM MY CRAFT.

THERE YOU GO, GABE. YEAH.

YOU REMIND ME OF AN OLD COWBOY MOVIE RIGHT NOW.

HOW IS IT?

FEELS REALLY GOOD.

WELL, AFTER SEEN GABE TOTALLY SUCCESSFULLY RIDE DIEGO,

SUPER PROUD OF THE GUY.

HE KIND OF HAS THAT COWBOY LOOK IN HIS EYE

LIKE HE'S CHEWING ON A PIECE OF GRASS.

HE JUST NEEDS A HAT NOW AND HE WILL BE 100% COWBOY.

WELL, GABE, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE IT. AWESOME.

FINALLY GOT TO SEE YOU ON THE HORSE.

I THINK I'LL LEAVE YOU TWO AT IT.

ALRIGHT.

MORE, MAN. DOING GOOD UP THERE.

DIEGO, WHOA.

ALRIGHT, THIS WAY. LET'S GO.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, DIEGO.

I FELL OFF MY HORSE.

YEAH, I'M A LITTLE EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT,

I'M NOT GOING TO LIE.

YEAH, I DON'T THINK BEAR SAW IT.

I'M DEFINITELY GLAD.

THERE'S NOT MUCH SHOWING OFF THE FALLING OFF YOUR HORSE.

NEED TO TIGHTEN THAT SADDLE UP, HUH?

GOOD BOY.

WE HAVE A LOT OF FENCE TO PUT IN,

A LOT OF HARD WORK TO DO,

AND A LOT MORE PRACTICING, I GUESS.

I DON'T WANT TO GET OUT THERE AND GET HIM HURT

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

SO IT'S JUST A LOT OF PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE,

AND THEN WE CAN GET TO WORK.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

ALRIGHT.

LET'S JUST TAKE IT NICE AND EASY.

IT'S IMPORTANT NOT TO GET DISCOURAGED.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP GOING.

AND I THINK THAT THOSE LESSONS ARE IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER,

AND I'M GOING TO BE TEACHING THOSE LESSONS PRETTY SOON.

THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING,

INCLUDING FALLING OFF YOUR HORSE.

IT'S ALL ABOUT PASSING DOWN THINGS THAT YOU KNOW.

YOU KNOW, IT HAPPENS. GET BACK ON THE HORSE,

WHICH IS EXACTLY THE VOICE I HEAR IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD,

YOU KNOW, IS MOM AND DAD BEING LIKE,

"OH, JUST GET BACK ON. TRY IT AGAIN."

AND NOW I'M BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN.

THAT'S RIGHT. I'M A COWBOY.

NO, DON'T EAT THAT YET.

GUYS, REALLY, YOU HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT PATIENT.

I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING YOU A REALLY FANCY DINNER.

AFTER I FINALLY CAUGHT MY FIRST PACK RAT,

I DEFINITELY WANT TO CELEBRATE WITH MY CATS,

SO I WANT TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH THEM AND FOR THEM.

I'M GOING TO MAKE THEM CHICKEN

STUFFED WITH SOME FISH AND CHICKEN FEET,

WHICH THEY SHOULD LOVE.

RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST MAKING A CAT FOOD AND MILK GRAVY

FOR THEM TO PUT OVER THE CHICKEN.

AND I'LL PROBABLY DIP THE MICE AND THE PACK RAT

THAT I HAVE FOR THEM IN IT AS WELL.

MY CATS MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME.

THEY'RE MY BABIES, MY BEST FRIENDS.

RIGHT NEXT TO RAIN.

RAIN'S ABOVE THE CATS. THEN IT'S CATS.

I DECIDED TO JUST GO ALL OUT FOR THE KITTIES, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE LIKE US, THEY'VE GONE THROUGH SO MUCH.

THEY JUST DESERVE A REALLY GOOD MEAL.

THAT IS LOOKING YUMMY.

BIRD NEEDS SOMETHING ELSE TO OCCUPY HER TIME.

SHE IS DEFINITELY A LONELY CAT LADY.

AND I THINK THAT MAYBE

IF SHE HAD A BOYFRIEND, THAT WOULD HELP.

OKAY, LET'S DIP THIS IN THERE.

I'M GOING TO GARNISH IT WITH THE MOUSE.

THERE WE GO. THIS ALMOST LOOKS GOOD TO ME, GUYS.

LET'S GET A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE PACK RAT.

LOOKS DISGUSTING.

OKAY, ARE WE READY?

OKAY. HOLD ON.

LET'S NOT EAT YET. NOT YET.

OKAY, Y'ALL CAN GO.

EAT UP.

I GUESS YOU LIKE IT.

OH, LOOK AT YOU, RAPTOR. YOU FOUND THE PACK RAT.

YEAH.

Y'ALL ARE SUCH GOOD KITTIES.

- RIGHT HERE. - HERE?

DEFINITELY RIGHT HERE.

FEEL THAT?

YEAH. OH, WOW.

THAT'S LIKE SHEER ICE.

DAY BREAKS, AND WITH CEMENT TRUCKS EN ROUTE,

THE BROWNS PUSH TO PREP THEIR SEVEN-MILE ACCESS ROAD.

IN JUST HOURS, THE APPROACHING STORM

WILL STOP ALL MOUNTAIN TRAVEL DEAD IN ITS TRACKS.

IT'S NOW OR NEVER.

WE PULLED EVERYBODY OFF OF THE FENCES,

AND EVERYBODY CAME DOWN TO HELP WITH POURING THE CONCRETE.

IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE HAVE.

VERY TIME-SENSITIVE.

THOSE TRUCKS AREN'T COMING UP HERE AGAIN.

SO WHILE THEY'RE HERE, WE NEED TO UTILIZE THEM.

ARE YOUR HANDS FREEZING OR IS IT JUST ME?

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.

IF YOUR HANDS AREN'T NUMB, YOU'RE NOT HAVING FUN.

PRETTY MUCH ANY TIME

WE WERE BRINGING ANYTHING UP THIS ROAD,

IT HASN'T GONE SUPER WELL.

SO I'M DEFINITELY A LITTLE NERVOUS FOR THESE CEMENT TRUCKS

BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE,

THEY'RE JUST GOING TO TURN AROUND.

♪♪

THERE'S BEAR.

- YO. - HEY.

WE SPOTTED THE TRUCK.

DID YOU? COOL. PERFECT. YES.

IT'S ABOUT 15, 20 MINUTES BEHIND US AT MOST.

ON THE WAY UP, WE HEARD ON THE RADIO

THAT THEY'RE CALLING FOR 30 INCHES.

30 INCHES? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YEAH. UP HERE.

WE'RE CUTTING THIS REALLY, REALLY CLOSE.

WE JUST NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE ROAD IS 100% SAFE,

HOPEFULLY BEFORE THE STORM HITS US TOO HARD,

BECAUSE IF WE DON'T GET IT NOW,

THAT'LL TOTALLY PUT US OUT OF COMMISSION.

THAT IS NOT AN OPTION. WE HAVE TO GET THE TRUCKS UP HERE.

WE HAVE TO GET THAT CEMENT DUMPED.

- OKAY. MORE, MAN. - SAY BYE?

OKAY. MORE. DRIVE SAFE, GUYS.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WE COULD DO AT THIS POINT

TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TRUCKS ARE GOING TO MAKE IT UP.

WE'RE ALL JUST KIND OF HOLDING OUR BREATH TO WAIT AND SEE.

I DON'T EVEN REALLY WANT TO START THINKING ABOUT

IF THEY CAN'T MAKE IT.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE ALL JUST LIKE "THEY CAN MAKE IT.

THEY CAN MAKE IT. THEY'LL MAKE IT.

THEY'LL MAKE IT."

ALRIGHT, THAT'LL DO IT.

- YOU HEAR THAT, GABE? - I HEAR IT.

I DO THIS KIND OF THING EVERY DAY.

YOU EAT WHOLE CAKES EVERY DAY?

WHEN I'M SAD.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS EARLIER,

THE BROWN SISTERS DECIDED AGAINST

WASTING BROTHER BEAR'S WEDDING CAKE.

IT'S NOT A RUSH, BUT IT'S WHO CAN EAT THE MOST.

READY? LET'S DO IT.

LET'S DO IT.

THIS IS GOOD.

MM-HMM.

THIS IS A LOT OF SUGAR.

I FEEL GREAT.

WELL, I'VE EATEN MORE THAN YOU.

A LOT OF IT'S STICKING IN MY THROAT.

I KIND OF JUST WANT TO SUCK ON A ROCK,

JUST ANYTHING THAT'S NOT SUGAR.

I NEED TO DIE NOW.

AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED THE CAKE,

I JUST NEED TO LAY FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND SMELL THE DIRT.

CAKE HIGH FIVE.

YEAH.

I GUESS THERE THERE'S NO WINNER OR LOSER, REALLY.

'CAUSE WE BOTH WIN.

WE'RE BOTH WINNER AND WE'RE BOTH LOSERS.

GET THAT ONE, I'LL GET THIS ONE, WE'LL CALL THAT GOOD.

JUST GET ONE MORE ON THE END, AND THAT SHOULD HOLD IT.

THE BROWNS ARE OUT OF TIME AS A STORM FRONT NEARS.

ALRIGHT, THAT'LL DO IT.

I THINK WE'RE READY FOR CONCRETE.

YEAH, WE ARE.

THE CONCRETE TRUCKS WILL HAVE JUST ONE CHANCE

TO SUMMIT THE MOUNTAIN.

OTHERWISE, CONSTRUCTION ON THEIR HOME

WILL BE HALTED FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON.

MOMENT OF TRUTH, GUYS. IT'S COMING IN.

WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY DO

TO HELP THESE TRUCKS GET UP THERE. WE HAVE.

ON THE BACK OF YOUR MIND,

THERE'S ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY THEY MAY NOT.

BUT IF WE CAN GET THIS CONCRETE POURED INTO THE FOUNDATION,

THEN NOTHING ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO STOP US TO CONTINUE

BUILDING UP THE HOUSE EVEN IN THE DEAD OF WINTER.

YOU HEAR THAT, GABE? I HEAR IT.

THERE IT IS, RIGHT THERE.

OH, IT HAS THE BIG TURNING THING ON THE BACK.

WE'RE TALKING CONCRETE TIME.

- THERE IT IS. - YOU GOT IT.

OKAY, WE SHOULD PROBABLY GET OUT OF THE WAY.

YEAH, WHERE SHOULD WE STAND?

LET'S BACK UP THIS WAY. GIVE THEM SOME ROOM TO PLAY.

WE GOT THE CONCRETE, GUYS.

AS SOON AS I SAW THAT FIRST TRUCK

COMING AROUND THE HOUSE SITE,

IT IS LIKE A HUGE WEIGHT OFF ON MY BACK.

NO, A TOTAL RELIEF.

THE TRUCKS ARE HERE, THEY'VE MADE IT,

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS FOUNDATION POURED.

UP, UP. PERFECT.

AWESOME.

HERE COMES THE MUD.

OKAY.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH CONCRETE'S

POURING OUT OF THIS THING.

I KNOW.

HEY, GABE, IT'S STARTING TO SNOW.

OH, MAN.

IN THE NICK OF TIME.

TOTALLY. LOOK AT THE SNOW

STARTING TO COME DOWN ON US.

WE SHOULD BE TOTALLY COVERED WITH SNOW

BY THE END OF TODAY.

SO IF WE WAITED EVEN JUST LIKE ONE DAY LATER,

WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET

THESE TRUCKS UP HERE.

IT'S LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF A VACUUM, RIGHT?

TRYING TO GET SMOOTH BEFORE IT ALL FREEZES ON THE TOP.

SOON AS WE HAVE THIS FINISHED, IT'S WALL TIME,

THEN A ROOF, AND THAT'S A HOME.

OKAY, THIS SIDE'S DONE. ROUND TWO.

LET'S DO IT.

♪♪

OH, BOY.

FIRST, WE'RE GOING TO START WITH A COUPLE PROBLEM AREAS.

WE TRIED TO PUT UP SOME FENCES, BUT WE HAD A HECK OF A TIME.

IT WAS NOT EASY.

AS YOU KNOW, WALKING THROUGH THE SNOW IS NOT GREAT.

SO THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN.

IT'S GOING TO BE PATCHY AND IT MIGHT GET ICY.

AS LONG AS WE STICK TOGETHER, KID.

IN A FEW DAYS LATER, THE STORM CLEARS,

AND BROTHER GABE IS READY TO PUT HIS RIDING SKILLS TO THE TEST.

HOW'S BARN LIFE?

OH, MY GOODNESS. REALLY?

WELL, TODAY IS THE DAY.

WE'RE PUTTING DIEGO AND MYSELF TO THE TEST,

AND I THINK WE'RE READY.

DIEGO AND I ARE RIGHT-MINDED.

WE'RE GIVING EACH OTHER PEP TALKS.

I WAS LOOKING OVER AT THE PEACOCKS

AND THE TURKEYS AND STUFF, AND THEY HAVE A WINDOW.

AND IF ANYBODY DESERVES A WINDOW IN THE BARN, IT'S YOU.

THIS FEELS GREAT JUST TO BE OUT IN THE OPEN WITH DIEGO.

I FEEL LIKE I KICKED OFF THE TRAINING WHEELS,

I PUSHED BACK THE TABLE, AND I'M FLYING.

I FEEL CONFIDENT. I FEEL LIKE A COWBOY.

WE'RE JUST RIDING LIKE TWO LONE COWBOYS IN THE WEST,

EVEN THOUGH WE'RE MORE IN THE NORTH.

LET'S GO, DIEGO. LET'S GO.

GET SOME WORK DONE.

JUST A BOY AND HIS HORSE.

GOOD BOY, DIEGO.

GABE, YOU'RE REMINDING ME OF AN OLD COWBOY MOVIE RIGHT NOW.

ONE OF THE OLD BLACK AND WHITE ONES.

I WAS DEFINITELY A LITTLE BIT LIKE

I FEEL LIKE HE WAS GOING TO GET THROWN OFF A COUPLE TIMES

BECAUSE HE'S NEVER BEEN ON A HORSE.

BUT AFTER SEEING GABE ON DIEGO, HE'S DEFINITELY A COWBOY.

WE'RE GONNA BRING IT ACROSS THE ROAD HERE,

DOWN THE GULLY, AND UP THE HILL.

THERE HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN PEOPLE WALKING THIS.

THIS IS DEFINITELY A BIG STEP FOR GABE.

HE STUCK TO IT,

AND NOW HE'S ACTUALLY RIDING HIS HORSE AROUND.

THAT SHOWS SOME MATURITY.

THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER. SO MUCH EASIER.

WE HAVE HORSEPOWER. WE HAVE MORE MANPOWER.

IT'S LIKE WE'VE GOT ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE WORKFORCE.

...THAT WHAT LITTLE THEY LEARN FROM YOU OF THE GOOD STUFF...

...THEIR KIDS LEARN THE SAME THING THAT WAS SET DOWN.

WELL, I THINK WE'RE GOOD, ACTUALLY, GUYS.

THAT'S ABOUT AS TIGHT AS IT'S GOING TO GET.

LET'S THINK ABOUT HEADING SOMEWHERE ELSE.

WITH DIEGO, WE CAN JUST ZOOM TO THE NEXT PLACE.

I MEAN, IMAGINE IF EVERY GENERATION

COULD TAKE THE GOOD THAT CAME BEFORE IT.

THAT'S A GOOD THING.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PERPETUAL FAMILY.

- DID A GOOD JOB, BOY. - SUCH A GOOD JOB, KID.

...I THINK GABE IS HOPING, JUST LIKE I AM,

HE CAN TAKE A PIECE, AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING ON.

SEEMS LIKE NOT LONG AGO

RAQUELL AND I KIND OF MOVED UP HERE,

AND NOW IT'S JUST PACKING UP.

TODAY IS THE DAY.

RAQUELL AND I ARE PACKING EVERYTHING UP,

GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF.

GONNA GO HAVE A BABY.

IT'S VERY EXCITING, VERY SCARY, YOU KNOW,

BUT WE JUST TRUST IN EACH OTHER.

WE TRUST IN THE GOOD LORD.

JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, WE'LL GET THROUGH IT.

THIS IS THE LAST OF IT, SO I'M OUT OF HERE.

I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M LEAVING Y'ALL IN THE LURCH.

- NO, MAN. WE GOT THIS. - YOU ARE, BUT IT'S OKAY.

WHEN WE NEXT SEE YOU, YOU WILL OFFICIALLY BE A DAD.

WOW.

I'M JUST THINKING BACK THROUGH OUR LIVES.

COME A LONG WAY FROM THAT LITTLE KID IN THE BUSH.

ALL THE GOOD TIMES, ALL THE LAUGHS, ALL THE LOVE,

AND THAT'S JUST GOING TO CONTINUE.

THAT'S JUST GOING TO GROW FROM HERE.

YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE THE FAMILY AND THE WOLF PACK IS GROWING,

SO ARE THE MEMORIES.

- ALRIGHT, GUYS. - GO HAVE A BABY.

ALRIGHT. WILL DO. NO BIG DEAL, RIGHT?

- MORE, MAN. - MORE, GUYS.

GODSPEED.

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

HERE WE GO.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF EXCITEMENT

ON THE MOUNTAIN THIS WINTER.

THERE'S MY SWEET LITTLE ANGEL.

BUT THERE'S A LOT TO LOSE NOW, AND WE'RE NOT READY.

WE NEED TO BE GATHERING AS MUCH LUMBER AS WE CAN.

THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING RIGHT NOW.

START PEELING BOARDS OFF OF THIS THING.

-MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT

WOODLAND IS GOING TO COME AND KICK ME.

WITH THIS STORM COMING,

THE ANIMALS ARE MY TOP PRIORITY.

IF I WAS AN OSTRICH, I'D LIKE THIS.

- HOLD TIGHT, GUYS. HOLD ON.

-OUR PUSHER ROD HAS SNAPPED IN HALF.

-FEEL THAT? TEMPERATURE'S DROPPING.

DO WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO ALL THIS?
