This guy is my war horse.

I might train him archery, jousting, the whole bit.

On this episode of Alaskan Bush People.

Honestly, like my mind is blown.

She's red?

My fingers are just crossed she drives straight and isn't broken.

Oh, man!

One of the big concerns with Bird going to Alaska is all the cats that she has here.

Feel it in the eyes.

.

That is not going as smooth as Noah wanted.

Wild stallion!

Whoa!

Everybody's on?

I've never run the Integrity by myself.

There's quite a bit of reef.

Hold on.

I need to do this for myself, to finish what I came to do.

The wind is howling!

I've actually thought I heard a couple of things break.

I didn't expect this bad of a storm.

It's just crazy out there right now.

It's late fall in southeast Alaska, and siblings Bear, Bird and Rain,

have returned to their old family home on Chichigof Island.

But a severe snowstorm hits overnight.

&We knew that there was a risk when we came to Alaska around this time,

because this is the time that the storms start.

I think he just hopes they wouldn't quite hit when we were here.

Growing up in Alaska, we've definitely enjoyed our fair share of storms.

But this storm is a little bit different, because this isn't our home anymore.

We have a home to get back to.

Being wintered in Alaska is not what we need right now.

Whoa! Look at it! It's like a minefield out here.

This way.

Well, I'm just walking around and looking for problem trees essentially.

We've had some fallen trees. I heard some crashes up there.

Don't want the sisters walking around and a tree fall.

Or even myself, I'm running around a little.

Don't really want to get impaled by a giant branch falling.

So, I'm just keeping my eye open, making sure our immediate vicinity is safe.

Yeah!

This time of year, our storms can be pretty bad.

And even though we just got hit with one, it doesn't mean that we're in the clear.

There could be another storm just hitting right on top of another one,

because sometimes that's how it happens.

Storms in Alaska, they get bad enough you can't get to the island from boat.

You have to wait until the storm blows over.

I'm a bit concerned that it could stick us here for longer than we intended.

Come on!

All right, let's see what I can do.

1,500 miles south,

the Browns' mountain has also received its first snowfall of the season.

I just got to take it out and then smooth it over.

And while the restoration of the ranch continues...

brother Noah tends to Northstar's newest addition.

This guy is Prometheus.

He's 16 hands and growing.

He is the second stallion on the ranch.

Well, I guess the only stallion on the ranch right now,

because he's the only horse up here.

When the fire happened, we were actually on our way to go pick up Prometheus.

He's two years old.

He's estimated to come out as 18 hands.

He's massive. He's sleek, he's beautiful.

Back in the day, he would have been the perfect knights' templar horse.

I'm obsessed with ancient times.

So, for me, this guy is going to be my war horse.

I might train him the old style, horseback archery, jousting, the whole bit.

I wanted to do a week with him.

So, I've actually moved in, built a little shelter,

and I'm staying here, camping in this arena with him for a week.

I think I was seven, when dad and I discussed

how horses were actually used in medieval times.

That's why I wanted, and have been obsessed with, war horses,

and knights' templars, and all that.

I can definitely see myself sitting on top of him

with the reins in my teeth, while firing arrows.

So, this is actually the first stage, training Prometheus to be tolerant to weapons.

I'm going to start with the sword.

The key is lettin' him get used to it slowly.

Completely safe. Can't hurt you at all.

Next up, for the bow: set up the target,

getting my arrows, feel how he reacts to one hitting there.

I'm sure that to a lot of people, I'm doing everything wrong.

Not even a flinch! Good boy, Prometheus!

I could put the saddle on him first, that is a very invasive thing.

So instead, start with the weapons, because it isn't touching him.

Basically, the plan is that in the week's time,

I'll be able to get enough bonding time with him,

that would give normal people years.

And my goal is to ride him.

He's actually only experienced snow since he got here.

So, I'm going to take it easy with him,

and teach him how to run, and walk, on snow and ice.

I think the fire affected everyone differently, but it did affect everyone, even me.

Come on.

Well, I guess in a way,

my week with Prometheus is like Bear, Bird and Rain's week in Alaska.

I just kind of, to get back to center, back to good.

My family deserve the best me possible.

I haven't been the best thing possible.

You ready?

Nice and slow. There you go!

Alaska's been giving us the whole she-bam.

So, it's been sunny, it's been windy, it just snowed.

We don't want to be out here when it picks up a great deal,

and the storm has probably increased even more than it was.

On Chichigof Island, Bear, Bird and Rain

prepare for another long night in Browntown.

But there's a new concern.

A report that another blizzard, bringing damaging winds and heavy snowfall,

is due to strike in just three days.

Now, one thing I am worried about is if the storm lasts a little bit too long,

and we get stuck.

We can't afford to get stranded for,

like, a three weeks blown in by storm in Alaska.

We have too much to do at the ranch, too much to do back home.

We haven't really been in Alaska as long as we're wanting to.

A bit concerned we might have to end the trip early.

One thing with Alaska, as you all know,

is that if you stay past a certain point in the winter, you can't really leave.

Oh, dang it! Wouldn't that suck!

Bear and Rain are thinking that we might have to cut the trip short.

I really don't want to.

I don't know, I, there are still answers I'm looking for,

do I want to move back to Alaska, or do I belong in Washington?

And I was hoping that we'd go back to Washington with a deer.

The wolf pack could use some Alaska deer.

I think that would, you know, boost morale a little bit.

And I was hoping that getting a deer would, kind of,

show myself that I still have it.

Even in the, like, wild of Alaska.

But I didn't get a deer.

You guys ready?

Ready as we'll ever be. I think so.

Early the next morning, the siblings embark on their return to Washington,

ahead of schedule.

But reaching cell reception,

the Browns realize they have several missed calls from home.

When I first heard the wolf pack call us,

I immediately think, like, something went wrong.

First thing comes through my mind is, I hope dad's okay.

He has his ups and downs, and has for forever.

I'm pretty worried, to be honest.

Dad's health doesn't seem to be going up.

It just seems to be going down.

And so, I'm definitely a little concerned.

With him feeling so bad lately, of course, you always think the worst.

It's as loud as she gets.

Hello!

- Hello! - Can you hear us?

Yeah, we can hear you loud and clear.

How are y'all guys doing? We're doing good.

Where?

What?

Are you serious?

The Browns' former boat, the Integrity,

was abandoned and relocated to Hoonah.

The Integrity is for sale in Hoonah?

Now, the local harbormaster is hoping to part with the vessel,

and willing to strike a rock-bottom deal.

The Integrity is in town.

Honestly, like, my mind is blown!

This is awesome. Reminds me of the old days, man!

I never thought that I would see the Integrity again.

Browntown dead ahead!

The Integrity has so many great memories.

Just going through the open ocean, fishing, laughing with the family.

This is just too good an opportunity not to check out.

This boat changed our entire world.

I think it's really a no-brainer.

I think it's a, it's a win-win for everyone.

Right. Got you. Roger that.

If dad knew about the storms, I know he would want us to collar early.

But the Integrity, we gave it away a long time ago,

and for it to just circle back,

and be where we are even, I think we have to get it.

Securing the Integrity might lift our spirits,

knowing that there is a beacon of hope out there.

- Guys! - Yeah.

Take care of each other. S'more.

- We will. S'more. - We will.

S'more.

Coming up...

No. No. Too small.

...the siblings attempt to locate their old family boat.

I mean, this one's encased.

Yeah, way too wide.

And later...

Let's do this!

...Bird is determined to see out her deer hunt.

If I get a deer, it proves that, like, I can still live out here,

and I can fight for myself.

A second winter storm is only days away from southeast Alaska.

But instead of returning back home to Washington, the Brown siblings are taking a risk.

- No. - No.

- Too small. - That looks like our boat.

Hoping to examine and secure their old boat

before the incoming snow traps them in Alaska.

Dad's tasked us with a couple things before we leave Alaska.

He wants us to check out the Integrity,

he wants us to make sure that she's still good and ship-shape,

and then he wants us to find someone that can watch it

until we can come back and get it.

But we're just running out of time.

I mean, this one's encased.

Yeah. Way too wide. Definitely not.

Guys, look! Come here, come here.

Come here. Got the small hatch door.

It's either her or her sister.

Guys, the bow still says "Integrity".

What?

Oh, is that...

Are you serious? This is her, guys!

- We found her! - It's the Integrity.

It's the Integrity.

It's almost like being in some kind of alternate reality,

seeing the Integrity the way that it looks now.

It looks so vastly different when we last saw it.

Very red!

Red is my particular favorite color

and even I wouldn't have painted the Integrity like she's painted now.

But all in all it's still good to see the Integrity, even if she has a bad paint job.

Permission to come aboard, Integrity?

Despite the differences of the Integrity, it still feels like it's ours.

Very different!

Oh, my gosh!

It feels like stepping onto it, it's like coming home.

- Breakfast is almost ready. - Smells good.

Thank you.

It does bring back a lot of memories, and it makes me miss mom and dad a lot.

Come here.

'Cause never really been on it without mom and dad.

Smells like bow.

- What? - Man, I miss it!

It's a little toasty.

Well, the engine room's not too different.

Buying the Integrity is a slight bit of a risk.

We haven't even seen the Integrity for some time.

I must admit, I'm a little concerned it might take a lot of work.

Well, I'm not a mechanic, but theoretically speaking, it all looks in place.

Plumbing pipes, the hydraulic hoses.

Needs to be bailed.

Got a little water down there.

There's actually a pretty good leak she has.

She's got a couple rotten boards on the outside and has a bit of a leak down below.

But it shouldn't be too much of a problem right now.

We can fix it in the future.

We just need to really keep an eye on it.

All in all, most of the things that we've seen that are wrong with it,

is just purely cosmetic.

Now, I agree 100%.

So, do y'all think we get her?

I think we should. I think we're going to be able to report back to dad,

and I think we're going to pick this boat up.

- Let's do it! - All right.

Love it!

Come and get it!

bite.

One of the big concerns with Bird going to Alaska is all the cats that she has here.

She's entrusted that to me, but there are a lot.

Way to spill it, huh? You're on cleanup.

The cats in here are really special.

They're Bird's pride and joy, you know.

They're practically her babies.

So, I'm just a little nervous, you know, a little concerned with just taking care of 'em.

I don't want something to happen while she's gone.

She comes back and I'm like, "Oh, we lost six!"

Oh, now the dirty part.

Have to use my weapon.

I'm going to go with this one.

Oh, my goodness!

I don't know which is worse, the smell of the poop,

or the smell or whatever she has covering up the smell of the poop.

You feel it in the eyes!

Just a minute. The bathroom's being cleaned.

Oh, that's just what I needed now, there's a line.

Bird definitely owes me one for this.

This is the least glamorous part about cat-sitting, is scooping the litter box.

In this case, the litter box for as many cats as there are, is just the shower.

It's the shower full of, you know what it's full of.

All fed, all watered, and clean bathrooms.

Y'all guys have a good night.

Friskies!

Beautiful harbor here. I love it.

Doggie. Good boy!

Back in Alaska,

brother Bear is on a mission to find an old friend of the family,

who can care for the Integrity throughout the winter season.

We've got the storm blowing on us really, really soon.

So, it's important that we take her, the boat,

as quickly as we possibly can.

Especially the Integrity having a little bit more of a leak,

if you don't bail the boat out regularly

and make sure that she's bailing, then she'll be sunk.

- How's it going, man? - That's a good handshake, man.

Oh, thank you! Thank you! You too, man. Thank you. Yeah!

I'm actually quite confident Addy will help us out with the barter,

because that is the code of the bush,

a perfect stranger could show up on your door in Alaska, ask for help,

and if you can help, you'll help 'em. That's just the way it is.

I was actually looking for you.

My family and I, we have a boat, but we probably won't be back up for a little while.

So, I was wondering if you would be willing to watch her.

Now, not for free.

I do have a bunch of red cedar boards.

Bam picked up this red cedar along the way. It was some job we did.

We were super excited about it,

but we ended up bartering quite a bit of it away, for the windmill parts.

It's pure red cedar. You can smell it from a mile away.

He might come after me, but he won't come after you.

Okay.

Everybody loves red cedar.

The girls and I actually came across it on the beach in Browntown,

and right now, it's really all we have to barter.

I think we can work something out.

Today is going to be the first day that Prometheus has ever had a saddle on him.

So, I'm going to put it on him,

I'm going to walk him around in a couple circles, take it off, brush him out.

Depending on the horse, saddle training can be difficult. Think of it.

A horse in a natural setting, the only time something is on its back

is when it is a wolf or a mountain lion, jumping on its back to try to eat it.

So, one of those things you need to steadily work into.

But, I'm definitely confident that I'll be able to get on his back in my week.

There!

How's that?

Is that better?

Whoa!

Whoa!

Every day is a struggle with a beast like Prometheus.

One of the big things that I want to get across to that horse

is utter confidence around him.

Go for a walk.

Watch where you're stepping! Don't sniff me.

Go faster. Come on! Come on! Yeah!

Hey! Hey! Whoa!

Whoa!

If he starts to buck with saddle on, that's bad.

So, the idea is to stop him verbally.

So that if he tries to do it while I'm on him, he will stop verbally.

Come on!

Hey! No bucking!

Stop!

It doesn't matter if training gets difficult.

We all have bad days. Horses are no different.

Quit chewing on things.

That doesn't mean I'm going to give up.

I haven't given up when the mountain burned.

I'm not going to give up if a horse gets a little stubborn.

You want a head hug?

All right!

Let's, you know, let's just get this thing untied and get going.

- You ready? - I think so.

I'm excited, and nervously excited.

After securing a barter, the siblings take the Integrity back to Browntown,

to retrieve their boards of red cedar.

Well, as new as piloting the Integrity by ourselves is,

this is what mom and dad have always trained us for.

You know, when dad would take me up into the wheelhouse

and show me how to run the boat, this is what was in his plans.

Let's have fun and make mom and dad proud.

- Sounds like a plan, guys. - Yup!

Let's do this!

I'm a little bit nervous to see how the Integrity will fare.

I've never run the Integrity by myself before.

We ready to cut?

- Let's do it! - Cut it!

On three! One, two, three!

.

- Everybody's on? - Yeah, we're all aboard.

Dad's really trusting me to be the one to pilot the boat.

So, I'm a little bit nervous that I might mess something up.

How are we doing?

Oh, it's sea lions!

I wanna come play with you, sea lions.

We can play with them later, eh?

Yeah, very cute, but let's stay vigilant.

The Browns are racing to secure the Integrity

before an incoming blizzard threatens to lock them in Alaska.

Remember there's some really bad spots out here on the side.

And on their 60-foot wood hole sub-chaser,

sister Rain leads their way back to Browntown, to gather their load of wood.

We're coming up on a little bit of a dangerous part.

So, we're going to have to just go very slow.

Make sure to keep your eyes out.

It's always a concern passing through a certain area,

it's like a midway reef and even experienced pilots, like my dad,

keep their eyes really peeled when going through this area.

While rough waters are typically one of the biggest concerns

traversing the Alaskan seas,

the shallow midway reef is known for its unpredictably jagged terrain,

that could easily sink the most sturdy of ships.

You want to go a little more starboard.

We're getting pretty close to that one up there.

Just keep it down the middle, down the middle.

Well, my thing is not working.

The Integrity's navigation devices seem to be a little bit broken.

You can't really captain a boat without knowing what's underneath you.

The starboard side, there's quite a bit of reef,

especially if we get closer to this thing here.

Yeah, I'm turning. I see it.

Hold on, I'm going to speed up a little.

Okay, go ahead.

We're on the straight and narrow now.

Good job! Keep her steady. You got it!

No! Yeah, she actually looks good.

Everything looks good captain Rainy.

It looks like we made it through.

Dad would be like, "Good job, baby girl!

You brought the."

Every time I think to do something, I don't hear it in my voice; I hear it in dad's.

What's he sayin'?

That I got it.

I'm very proud of myself for making it through the midway reef.

Under that and round the corner is Pelican.

Would you drive us to Pelican?

What? Okay.

I didn't let dad down,

and hopefully he'll be proud of me too, once he hears about it.

Being back in Alaska has taught me a lot.

I do definitely feel like I have a new-found sense of freedom,

and hopefully I can contribute that back home.

Training is going really well.

But now it's getting cold, so I need to get his blanket back on,

before the temperature drops too bad.

Back on Northstar Ranch,

Noah hunkers down to endure his second freezing night with Prometheus.

On tonight's menu, some canned meat with some seasoned tomatoes.

It might be a little bit difficult to be away from my family,

but this week is good for Prometheus and for myself.

Working with Prometheus is very different from working with robots

and making zapper hats and arm saws.

Prometheus is a living creature.

In essence, I could learn a lot from my time with him, about how to treat people.

If I treated people more like horses, maybe they'd like me better.

If I'm to finish out this week and achieve my goals,

at least a piece of that will transition to the rest of my life.

Kind of took a horse to show me how I should be as a human.

While that warms up and simmers, I think I'll finish taking care of the horse.

Comin', buddy.

To the beach!

As the storm grows closer,

the siblings return to Browntown to retrieve their supply of red cedar.

Let's get a look and see how much lumber we have over here.

But before they turn in for one more night inside their old home,

they'll use the last hours of daylight to haul the wood 50 yards up the shore

and accelerate transport the following day.

Okay, are we ready to try this?

Yes.

Let's not overload it, though.

It's better just take more trips.

Hold on! Hold on!

Few minutes.

- You got one? - I've got it.

I'm good.

- You sure? - I'm sure.

- This makes it a lot easier. - I know. I got it. No worries.

So, ready?

All three, one, two, it's three!

Let's not lose our momentum, guys.

Keep going.

Okay, I'll raise them. We'll ease into it.

You okay?

If anybody sees my fingers along the path, let me know.

Pulling the red cedar is a difficult task,

mainly because it's been weathered in so much.

Right now, there's three of us,

and the red cedar has a little bit of water logged to it.

It's comin' undone.

We're losing mine!

Keep going!

Rain! Rain!

Rain, it's just you!

God, it's, like, really hard!

We will get every board out of here.

We really will. It might take a little bit.

If we have to stay here all night, we'll do it.

I feel like it would be easier if we used a tarp.

Just using the tarp, kind of, as a sled, and I actually did bring a tarp.

Because you should never go anywhere without a tarp.

Right. You're just now mentioning that?

Well, yeah! I like that.

Okay, if you have a tarp, right, I totally agree. Pull it out.

Well, Bird had an idea to use the tarp since we have the snow anyway.

There she blows!

You'll hold it down, I'll stack it. Okay?

- Okay! - Got it!

I'm confident that it could work as long as the tarp itself isn't too rotten,

and we don't overload it.

- Ready, spaghetti? - Ready.

Do it!

There we go!

Come on, baby! Go!

Ease up on the pace.

We have quite a few trips to make.

Okay. I am definitely on Team Tarp.

It's just so much better than the first time we held those boards down.

Yeah, a little easier. Right?

It's the last day in Alaska, and with her future weighing heavy on her mind,

sister Bird rises early, hoping to complete one final goal.

Bear said we do have to get the red cedar to Addy,

but this is my last chance to get a deer.

You know, I want to bring some back to everybody else.

I have to finish what I came to do.

All the snow your track,

and all the deer wanting to come down off the mountains.

I just found some fairly fresh tracks,

and it looks like they're headed in that direction.

I'm very determined to get the deer, and to finish this hunt,

and help me with all the questions I have for myself.

If I get a deer, it proves that, like, I can still live out here

and I can, you know, still fight for myself.

As the Browns' time in Alaska draws to an end,

Bird has one last shot to bag a deer.

Got him.

I got one.

There, a few minutes, the wind, actually, was pulling my gun in the other direction,

but looks like I got him.

There he is!

That shot is going to make other things want to come,

so I'm going to have to get over there and get him clean.

Getting this deer, it's a huge weight off my shoulders.

There's almost not a greater feeling.

It's just there's so much adrenaline,

there's like, everything else in the world disappears.

I can still come to Alaska, hunt and get a deer,

I could still survive in Alaska.

Looks like he's not movin'.

Looks clean.

When I first get the deer,

like, the first thing that comes to mind is bringing it back to everybody,

that look on mom's and dad's face when I come into camp, and I have the deer.

Hey, guys! Look what's for dinner.

- Hungry? - Hey, guys!

- All right! - Awesome!

Hey, good one!

It brings back so many memories, of so many times

that, like, we've come in and we're eating deer around the fire,

while mom's cleaning some more.

Oh, that's what I want to see!

- Yeah! - Nice!

I will never not love Alaska, but the wolf pack is home.

This trip has definitely helped me realize that

that it doesn't matter how much I love Alaska.

I love my family more, and I want to be with everybody,

and I want to be able to provide them with deer, even if it's not in Alaska.

Shall we eat?

Ride him yet?

He's actually never been ridden.

Hand me that saddle!

You know, when it comes to horses, I'm the guy to call,

you know, Northstar Ranch's expert horse whisperer.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

But Diego is a very different story than Prometheus.

Ah! This is your tent!

Prometheus?

Wild stallion!

Noah definitely has his work cut out for him.

Whoa!

I would say let him walk around a little and then put him up.

I got him.

Just trying to get him used to the pressure.

No nippings!

Back! Back!

Don't try to push him too far in one day.

Whoa!

He's not seeming to like a lot of things you're doing.

I've got this!

I noticed it's not going as smooth as I think Noah wanted.

He didn't just hop on there and they're riding around,

like the cover of some kind of romantic comedy, you know.

Stand!

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

You sure you want to try to ride him?

No!

Prometheus doesn't want to be written today.

And he just does not want me to get on his back.

But I'm not going to give up.

How can I teach him about trusting me,

if I do not trust him to tell me when he's ready to be ridden?

I just need to treat people more like horses.

So, can I get a sugar cube?

It's okay.

It's okay, Bird. You're not going to cry, Bird.

You got this.

After loading the Integrity with the red cedar and Bird's deer kill,

the Brown siblings will once again bid farewell to their cherished home.

- You comin'? - Yep.

- And it's closed. - Yep.

This time, leaving Browntown is different, because we're leaving on our terms.

And we have the bush to go home to.

- You guys ready? - Ready as we'll ever be.

The experience, going back to Alaska,

I've learned to just, like, slow down a little, relax,

trust God to take care of things,

and put a little piece of my heart back in place.

It's been nice to be back.

Even just being in the house and being in the forest again,

and just everything that's so different here.

It's just been a nice break from Washington, even for a short time.

No, I agree completely.

I wouldn't say that it's goodbye; it's more see you later.

You never know when we might come back.

I mean it could be, you know, weeks from now, it could be years even.

But I have a feeling we will return.

We'll be back.

You know, this isn't the end of something; it's the beginning.

No, it's true.

This trip has actually been very emotional for all of us,

but especially for, like, Bird particularly.

She set her mind or something and she made it happen, and that's just the way to do.

She never gives up, she never surrenders.

And she's always a good home to us.

We'll be back. We will.

This trip is definitely what I needed.

You know, I've wanted to come back since we left,

but, I know I have to go back to Washington.

Hopefully, we get some crab.

Ten bucks says I get the most.

Second and third. Or wait!

- First, tied for second. - First, and whatever.

Competitions between brothers and sisters is always good fun.

I personally think I'm going to be bringing home the most crab.

- Oh, wait. - What've we got?

- What've we got? - We definitely got one!

Yeah, that's about the right size.

That's disappointing.

We're all very competitive, but it's also just nice to be on the water,

just pulling crab pots with Bear and Rain.

Rain, the crab!

Oh, wow! Yeah! You got two.

I love winning.

I really do, but I'm still rooting for Bird to catch a lot of crab,

'cause I'd rather be a loser with a lot of crab, than a winner with only a few.

Oh, wow! Isn't that glorious!

- You have a lot! - Congratulations, Birdy!

Come here, little guys.

I win, and we get crabs.

Let's do this as quickly as we can.

Quick as we can, sounds like a plan.

Only a few more.

With their red cedar piled onto the Integrity,

siblings Bear, Bird, and Rain

make their way towards Hoonah, to close the deal

and secure their boat for the winter.

You hand them to me, I hand them to Rain.

Right. Heads up!

Watch your head!

Well, I think this totally has worked out, all in all, entirely.

We get someone watching the Integrity,

and the red cedar is going to someone that actually needs it.

Hello!

Hey, Addy!

- How's it going, man? - Hi, Bear. How are you?

Doing good. This is the cedar.

Oh, wow!

- Yeah? You think so? Yeah.

Awesome!

I'm extremely glad that we have the Integrity in good hands.

It's a weight off my back totally.

The parents are going to be so excited

when we come back up for it, or maybe get it brought down or something.

No telling. Right now, the world is our oyster

and I'm feeling pretty awesome, I must admit!

I'm glad! I'm glad!

That's awesome.

Thank you very much.

- Good luck! - Thank you for all your help.

- Much appreciated! - Thank you!

It was my goal this entire time.

So, I'm going to saddle up Prometheus, and I'm going to try to ride him.

Yesterday, he was ornery as heck.

He was not happy. But today, he's different.

All I'm shooting for is tied.

That way, he can't buck and freak out too much.

So, let's do.

This is my last day. This is it.

If he doesn't want to be saddled, he doesn't have to be.

It's up to him.

If he's ready, then he'll tell me.

I did it.

I'm super excited!

I'm the first person that has ever sat on top of that horse.

That was my main goal this week, and I achieved it.

That feeling, being able to sit there,

just relax in the saddle, that feeling is just superb.

This is not just a horse; it's a war horse.

That's all, folks.

- Oh, look at that, guys. - Time to go swimming!

From the water they came, and from the water they're goin' back.

After ensuring a watchful eye over the Integrity,

the Brown siblings share one last meal,

before heading back to Washington ahead of the storm.

So far, so good. I think mom and dad would be proud.

Yeah. I don't know if "proud" would be a word I'd use.

They'd be something.

We head out of Alaska tonight, and it does look like we're going to beat the storm.

Looks like by barely, barely at all.

It definitely feels really good to be cooking the deer

that I did, eventually, end up getting.

It just feels great, and I'm definitely going to bring some home for everybody else.

How long, guys, has it been since we have had crab and deer bits?

It has been ages.

Well, this used to be our every day.

We caught it, we cleaned it, we cooked it.

It's funny, 'cause for a long time, like, pretty much since we left Alaska,

like, it's felt like our life in Alaska and, like, all of this was a dream.

Like a distant dream a long time ago.

Now, it feels like I'm in that dream.

Even though I am closing the door

on moving back to Alaska for good right now,

in the near future, that door is not necessarily locked.

It's the hope of being able to come back.

Because, I think why being out of Alaska was so hard before,

is that we never thought we would be here again.

And now that we have the Integrity,

and now that the window is open for us to come and go as we please,

we don't have to be sad about it.

Owning the Integrity again

really feels like the beginning of a new chapter for the family.

Can't wait until we have many more adventures on the Integrity.

There's no telling what kind of adventures will be had.

We can bring all that the new generation, the young wolf pack.

Mom and dad.

Sci-Fi.

Yeah, your kitties, and we can sail the ocean once again.

You know, the dream, it's not just my mom and I; the guys have the same dream.

it's everybody's dream now.

.

You know, we've lost so much.

We lost everything in the fire.

It's been a little devastating.

Just ready to keep going now.

There's just so much more to do.

The faith in God, the faith in family.

I'm not going to quit now. It's right there.

All we've got to do is just keep pushing.

I've enjoyed this trip probably more than anyone possibly could.

But I'm definitely ready to see the family, and we've joined the wolf pack.

On the next episode of Alaskan Bush People...

Dad has an idea to do a boom town.

Being back on the mountain, just what the wolf pack needed.

I thought we used to have more siblings.

Wait! Hold on! Guys!

It's something that we can achieve, as long as we stick together.

Just give me some of the sticks.

Stop taking things apart.

Guys, how do you build this? As a family.

I was hired to do a job.

Guys!

Something bad is going on.

Where is everybody?

For the past year, we've been due a lot.

Are you okay?

What?

At some point, something happens that breaks you.
