IT'S IMPORTANT

TO JUST BE THANKFUL
FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU

AND BE THERE TO HELP A FRIEND
WHEN HE'S THERE TO HELP YOU.

[ BANG ]

IT'S HARD WORK
BUT IT'S GOOD WORK

AND IT'S A PRETTY GOOD TOSS.

Charlotte: GO REALLY SLOW.

WHO'S THE CUTEST LITTLE GIRL?
CUTEST GIRL RIGHT HERE.

THIS YEAR'S THANKSGIVING IS
REALLY SPECIAL TO EIVIN AND I.

WE'RE HOSTING IT AT THE BARN.

HI.
HI. HELLO.

HEY, COME ON IN.
COME ON IN.

WELCOME.
YOU BET.

YOU LOOK CHILLY, MAN.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

IT FELT REALLY IMPORTANT
TO HAVE EVERYBODY THERE

FOR SPARROW'S
FIRST THANKSGIVING.

I'M ABOUT READY TO EAT.

GLAD YOU GUYS SHOWED UP.

Charlotte: WOO-HOO,
FOOD TIME.

MY FAVORITE THING
ABOUT THANKSGIVING IS

THAT IT'S A HOLIDAY WHERE
THERE'S FOOD INVOLVED

AND THEN THE FAMILY
COMING TOGETHER.

BRING IT IN.
WELL, SHOULD WE, UM...

HEY, YOU CAN ACTUALLY MOVE
THAT SHOULDER UP A LITTLE.

PUT IT OVER --
OVER ANOTHER PERSON'S --

THIS IS MY GOOD ONE.
OH, THAT IS YOUR GOOD ONE.

Atz: THE THEME OF THIS YEAR'S
THANKSGIVING IS NOT JUST

BEING THANKFUL FOR SOMEBODY
WHO'S DONE A LOT

FOR US THIS PAST YEAR,
BUT ACTUALLY PUTTING OUR MONEY

WHERE OUR MOUTH IS AND NOW DOING
SOMETHING FOR THAT PERSON.

GO OVER THERE TO GRANDPA
TO CARRY THIS TURKEY.

Otto: WHERE YOU TRY TO EXPRESS
OUR THANKS THROUGH ACTIONS

RATHER THAN WORDS.

LOOK AT THAT BIRD, HUH?

Atz Lee: EVEN THOUGH THE PEOPLE
WE'VE BEEN THANKFUL FOR

AND HELPING OUT WEREN'T ABLE
TO ATTEND DINNER WITH US,

THAT'S KIND OF WHY
WE WANTED TO GO

AND DO THE THINGS
FOR THEM OUT THERE

TO HAVE THAT KIND OF
THANKFUL MOMENT WITH THEM

AND THEN TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN
AS A FAMILY TOGETHER

AND SHARE THOSE STORIES
AND SHARE A MEAL.

WELL, I CAN SEE
WHAT I GET WHEN I'M LATE.

LOST THE HEAD OF THE TABLE.
THAT'S RIGHT.

FINDLAY HAS THE REAL HEAD,
THOUGH.

OH. HEY, FINDLAY,
CAN YOU SLAP ME FIVE?

YEAH.
ALL RIGHT,

I'M GOING TO CUT THIS TURKEY.
YEAH.

REMEMBER MY EYES ARE A LOT
SMALLER THAN MY STOMACH.

Bonnie: AND THEN THERE'S SOME
DIFFERENT KINDS OF JAM.

THERE'S HIGHBUSH CRANBERRY
OVER THERE AND ROSE HIP AND...

YOU DONE THIS, BONNIE?
DID ATZ DO THIS?

I MADE IT, YEAH.
YULE'S NETTLE BREAD.

AND THEN THERE'S SOME
DIFFERENT KINDS OF JAM.

THERE'S HIGHBUSH CRANBERRY
OVER THERE AND ROSE HIP.

I LIKE THE LOFTINESS OF IT

BETTER THAN DAD'S OLD HEAVY,
HEAVY BREAD.

THE DENSE STUFF?
YEAH.

IT'S A LITTLE EASIER TO EAT.

I'M NOT DISSING
HIS OLD BREAD, NOW.

NO, NO.
OF COURSE NOT.

ATZ LEE, WHAT WERE YOU
THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR?

BESIDE MY WIFE AND MY FAMILY
SURROUNDING ME,

UM, WELL,

WHEN DID YOU GUYS
GET A 'FRIGERATOR,

AN ELECTRIC 'FRIGERATOR
FIRST ON THE HOMESTEAD?

DO YOU REMEMBER?

I REMEMBER MORE YEARS
WITHOUT ONE THAN --

THAN WITH ONE.
I MEAN...

WELL, I HELPED JOHN COILA

MOVE HIS VERY FIRST 'FRIGERATOR
OUT TO HIS PLACE.

OH.
ME AND JANE.

AND IT WAS LIKE --
IT WAS LIKE WE WERE ON

THE WILD WAGON TRAIL OUT WEST,
MAN.

IT WAS TERRIBLE.

WOO-HOO.

FOR THANKSGIVING,
I KIND OF DECIDED

TO HELP OUT JOHN COILA.

HE'S BEEN A GREAT HELP
TO ME OUT IN THE BACKCOUNTRY.

HE'S BEEN A LOT
OF INSPIRATION OUT THERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
THAT I AM THANKFUL FOR HIM,

SO, UM, FRIEND OF HIS HAD
GIVEN HIM 'FRIGERATOR.

AND HE'S TAKING
THE 'FRIGERATOR,

PUTTING IT IN THE BACK
OF A TRAILER

AND TAKING IT OUT TO HIS HOUSE,
AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT?

THAT COULD BE THE PERFECT THING
TO GIVE HIM A HAND WITH.

THANK YOU.
I COULDN'T DO THIS

WITHOUT YOUR GUYS' HELP.

JOHN, BACK AT YA.

WELL, ATZ LEE AND JANE

ARE HERE TODAY
AT MY FRIEND'S HOUSE.

HE GAVE ME A REFRIGERATOR
TO TAKE OUT TO THE HOMESTEAD

AND WE'RE GOING TO LOAD IT UP
AND HAUL IT OUT THERE.

IT'S RIGHT IN HERE.

WHOA!
PRETTY NICE ONE, HUH?

FLASHY.
I'VE HAULED A LOT OF THINGS

OUT OF THE BACKCOUNTRY
THROUGH THE YEARS,

BUT I'VE NEVER HAULED
A 'FRIGERATOR.

THIS THING HAS GOT TO
TRAVEL EIGHT,

10 MILES THROUGH SOME OF
THE ROUGHEST COUNTRY ALASKA HAS,

AND WHEN IT GETS THERE,

IT'S GETTING PLUGGED INTO
A SOLAR POWER UNIT,

BUT FIRST WE'VE GOT TO
GET IT THERE.

READY?

OKAY. YEP.

Jane: IT'S ALWAYS GOOD
TO HELP OUT YOUR NEIGHBORS,

'CAUSE IT COMES BACK
AT YOU TEN-FOLD.

TO HAVE REFRIGERATION
WAY OUT THERE

WITH A NEIGHBOR
THAT'S SEMI-CLOSE,

LIKE, OH, WE'LL BE
USING THAT FRIDGE.

SLIDE IT BACK.
NICE.

IS IT HITTING
THAT RUG NICELY?

YEP.
YEAH.

Atz Lee: 'FRIGERATORS
HAVE TO BE STORED UPRIGHT.

IF YOU PUT 'EM ON THEIR BACK,

THE REFRIGERATION UNIT
WON'T WORK PROPERLY

WHEN YOU STAND IT BACK UP,
SO IT'S KIND OF A PAIN,

BECAUSE REALLY,
THE BEST WAY TO TAKE IT

DOWN THE TRAIL
WOULD TO BE LAYING DOWN.

I MEAN, WE'VE GOT LOW,
OVERHANGING BRANCHES,

TREES AND STUFF,
NOT TO MENTION THE FACT

THAT IF IT'S TOP-HEAVY
AND THAT THING FLIPS OVER,

WE'RE GOING TO BE
IN A WORLD OF HURT.

AND I'VE BEEN ON THIS
TRAIL PLENTY OF TIMES,

AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE

HOW EXACTLY WE'RE
GOING TO GET THROUGH IT,

BUT HEY, HE'S HELPED ME
OUT SO MUCH.

I MIGHT AS WELL
RETURN THE FAVOR.

GOOD GAME, DUDE.

SOMEDAY I'M GOING TO
GET YOU A 'FRIGERATOR.

MAYBE NOT THIS NICE.

WELL, YOU GUYS ABOUT READY
TO SHOVE OFF?

I THINK SO.

THEN WE'LL HEAD ON
DOWN THE ROAD, OKAY?

SOUNDS GOOD.

Jane: THE TRAIL WE'RE TAKING
WE BARELY EVER TAKE

BECAUSE IT'S SO STEEP
AND HAIRBALL,

SO THAT SHOULD BE EXCITING.

Atz Lee: JOHN HAS ME OUT
FRONT SCOUTING IT OUT

SO THAT WHEN WE GET
TO MUD HOLES,

I CAN KIND OF TELL HIM LEFT,
GO RIGHT, YOU KNOW, WHATNOT,

AND THEN JANE'S
BRINGING UP THE REAR.

THAT WAY, IF SHE SEES
ANY STRAPS COMING LOOSE,

THE 'FRIGERATOR STARTS TO GO,
SHE CAN GIVE A YELL.

GETTING THE 'FRIGERATOR THERE
DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A BIG DEAL.

YOU'RE NOT JUST GOING DOWN
TO THE HARDWARE STORE,

BUYING A FRIDGE
AND THE TRUCK SHOWS UP

AND LOADS IT
IN THE DOOR FOR YOU.

I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

YOU'VE GOT TO FIGHT YOUR WAY
THROUGH SWAMPS...

OH.
BUMPS...

OOH!
STICKS, RUTS, BEES, WASPS.

I MEAN, IT IS JUST BRUTAL.

HELL, IF THAT FRIDGE
TIPS OVER,

YOU GO THROUGH ALL
THAT WORK AND LABOR,

THEN YOU GET THERE AND PLUG IT
IN AND IT DOESN'T WORK,

IT'S ALL FOR NOTHING,
SO IT'S JUST --

IT'S A MASSIVE TASK.

I HATE THIS TRAIL.

I HATE THIS TRAIL.

IT'S NOT LIKE THIS NICE,

BEAUTIFUL TRAIL
THROUGH THE FOREST.

IT'S A LOT OF WORK
AND IT'S A LOT OF UNEASY RIDING.

BASICALLY,
IF I'M IN FIRST GEAR

ON A FOUR-WHEELER,
I AM NOT HAPPY,

AND I'VE BEEN IN
FIRST GEAR ALL DAY.

THAT WAS THE HARD PART, RIGHT?
SO THE NEXT TIME --

NO, THIS IS NOT
THE HARD PART.

THIS IS THE GOOD HARD PART.
THE DEMON IS IN THE FOREST

AND THAT'S WERE
WE'VE GOT TO GO.

ME AND JOHN KNOW WHAT'S TO COME
AND JANE DOESN'T.

SHE'S ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHAT
THIS TRAIL'S REALLY ALL ABOUT.

GO, GO, GO, GO.

Jane: AH.

HIT HER HARD.
HIT HER HARD.

THIS IS THE WORST TRAIL EVER.
HERE COMES A BIG ONE.

GO, GO, GO.
YEAH.

OH, MY GOD.
WOO-WOO.

HOO-HOO.
ALL THE WAY. ALL THE WAY.

THAT'S MY GIRL.

GOD.

WHO TAUGHT YOU
TO DRIVE LIKE THAT?

BUGS!

THE TRAIL IS TERRIBLE

AND THE BUGS ARE CRAZY.

AH.
THERE.

BUGS IN MY EYES,
UP MY NOSE, IN MY MOUTH.

YEAH.
FIRST GEAR FOR FOUR HOURS

AND TOO MANY MOSQUITOES.

IT WAS A HORROR MOVIE.

THEY JUST WERE
INSANELY EVERYWHERE,

LIKE, A MILLION MOSQUITOES.

Atz Lee: OH, BOY.

THE SECTION WE'RE ABOUT
TO GO INTO,

JOHN'S KIND OF MADE RAILROAD
TRACKS TO GO DOWN.

PROBLEM IS THEY'RE ABOUT
AS WIDE AS RAILROAD TRACKS,

SO WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO
IS GOING TO BE ROUGH.

WE'VE JUST GOT TO PROCEED.

WITH A BUG IN MY NOSE.

OH, GOD.

I KIND OF CLEARED MYSELF OUT,
TURNED AROUND.

I'M KIND OF TRYING
TO LINE UP JOHN.

OH.
NEED TO GO TO THE LEFT.

OH!
TO THE LEFT.

HOLD ON.
I THINK YOU FOUND BOTTOM.

THE GOOD NEWS
IS THE TRAILER IS ON.

THE BAD NEWS IS
YOU'RE HORRIBLY HIGH-CENTER.

PULL THE WINCH OUT.

WINCH YOU OFF
TO THAT TREE.

EITHER THAT TO THAT TREE --
YEAH, THAT WOULD WORK.

Atz Lee: JOHN HAS A WINCH
ON HIS SIDE-BY-SIDE,

SO WE DEFINITELY EMPLOYED THAT.

GOT AROUND A GOOD ANCHOR POINT.

John: NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO, NO, NO.

'FRIGERATOR FELL OFF.
HOLY --

DANG IT. IF IT ISN'T ONE THING,
IT'S ANOTHER.

MAYBE KEEP WINCHING.

JANE, COME DOWN HERE

AND HELP ME PUSH UP
AGAINST THIS.

'KAY.

READY?
YEP.

NOT TOO HARD.

AH! IT'S HEAVY.

IT'S HEAVY.
OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE
THE WINCH CABLE,

OR IT'S GOING TO PULL ME OVER
TOO FAR THAT SIDE.

OKAY.
HOLD THAT, JANE?

YEP.

GOOD LORD.

OKAY, LET ME GET BACK
ON THE FRIDGE.

OKAY, YEAH TRYING TO HELP
KEEP IT FROM TIPPING OVER...

I GOT TO TURN AROUND.
READY?

'CAUSE I'M LETTING
GO OF IT.

WE'RE GOOD.

WE'RE PRETTY MUCH
OUT OF IT.

OH, OKAY.

'KAY, JANE.

John: NOW SEE WHY I'M GLAD
YOU GUYS ARE ALONG?

WHAT WOULD I HAD DONE
BY MYSELF IN THAT SITUATION?

I'D HAVE HAD THAT REFRIGERATOR

LAYING FLAT OVER
ON ITS SIDE THERE.

Jane: IT'S SUPER NICE
TO HELP OUT JOHN,

AND THEN I'M JUST
REALLY THANKFUL THAT, LIKE,

ATZ LEE WAS HELPING HIM,
BECAUSE FOR ME,

IT'S LIKE AFTER HE GOT HURT,

IT'S LIKE HE'S GOT
HIS STRENGTH BACK,

AND THAT'S MY BIGGEST THANKS,

IS THAT I'VE GOT MY HUSBAND

THAT CAN HELP OUT
SOMEBODY ELSE

AT LIKE
ALMOST FULL CAPACITY.

[ ATZ LEE YODELING ]

I'VE BEEN CHEWED
ON BY MOSQUITOES.

MY BACK'S HURTING.
MY HIP'S HURTING.

METAL IN MY BONES
IS HURTING.

IT'S AN ASS-KICKER
GETTING OUT HERE,

BUT IT'S A PRETTY GOOD CAUSE.

John: WHAT A JOURNEY!

YEAH, I TELL YOU WHAT.

I'M THANKFUL FOR ATZ LEE

AND JANE HELPING
GETTING IT HERE.

MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
IN THE WORLD.

UH-HUH.
LOOK AT THAT.

WHY, SHE'S A BEAUTY.

LOOK AT THAT.

YEAH.

HERE WE GO,
THE BIG MOMENT.

ALL RIGHT!

THAT'S THE SOUND
WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

YES.

Atz Lee: IT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR
SINCE MY ACCIDENT,

SO TO RECOVER THROUGH
THAT AND MENTALLY

AND PHYSICALLY BE DOING WELL

AND ALSO BEING ABLE
TO REFLECT BACK

ON HOW MUCH HELP
AND SUPPORT MY FAMILY

GAVE ME THROUGH
THOSE TOUGH TIMES,

DEFINITELY HAVE A LOT
TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

YEAH, HERE'S TO BRINGING
A REFRIGERATOR IN.

YEAH.
'FRIGERATOR.

THANKFUL FOR FRIENDS.
AMEN.

THANKFUL FOR US.
APPRECIATE THE HELP.

Charlotte: AND YOU WEREN'T
THAT THANKFUL ABOUT IT.

I ALMOST LOST IT.

I WAS THANKFUL THAT
I DON'T LIVE OUT THERE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

Charlotte: UH-OH.

Eivin: ATZ LEE SAID YOU GUYS
ARE MOVING OUT THERE.

Atz: I AM MAKING A TABLE
FOR MY BOY, ATZ LEE.

PA-PA-PA.
PA-TA-PA-TA. BLIP BLIP.

SEE IF IT TAKES THE PRESSURE.

IF IT'S SHOOTING A PROJECTILE,
IT NEEDS TO BE TREATED

AS IF IT'S ABSOLUTELY
A DEADLY WEAPON.

[ BANG ]

HOLY --

Eve: A LITTLE BIT MORE?

Eivin: YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

OKAY. HERE YOU GO.

HERE, CHARLOTTE.
THANK YOU.

KIND OF GET THAT VEGETARIAN.
I KNOW.

WHO MADE THIS SQUASH?

I THINK KELLY
GREW THAT SQUASH.

OH, YEAH, THAT'S ONE OF MINE.

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL, KELLY.

Atz: THE THEME OF OUR
THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR

IS BEING THANKFUL
FOR OUR FRIENDS

AND SHOWING THAT THANKFULNESS
BY MAKING SOMETHING FOR THEM.

Eivin: LOOK AT THIS BUN
YOU CAN CHEW ON.

LIKE HIM WHEN
HE WAS A KID.

ATZ,
WHO DID YOU HELP YOU?

HUH?
I HEARD YOU WERE HELPFUL.

YOU WERE HELPING SOMEBODY
THIS THANKSGIVING.

BONNIE, WHAT'D HE DO?
YEAH.

Bonnie: UM, IT'S A SECRET.

I THINK IT'S A SURPRISE.

Atz: YEAH, WELL,
IT WASN'T HARD FOR ME

WHEN I HAD TO DECIDE
WHO TO DO SOMETHING NICE FOR.

I'M VERY THANKFUL
THAT MY SON, ATZ LEE,

SURVIVED HIS FALL
ALMOST A YEAR AGO.

CHEERS TO THAT.

Atz:
FOR THIS SPECIAL THANKSGIVING,
BONNIE AND I DECIDED

TO MAKE A TABLE FOR MY BOY,
ATZ LEE.

THE FIRST STEP IN THIS PROCESS
IS GETTING THE ROUGH MATERIAL,

SO I'M TRAVELING OUT
TO JOHN COILA'S

OVER TO ATZ LEE'S HOUSE SITE.

GOING TO FELL THE TREE.

TIMBER!

BRING IN THE ROUGH MATERIAL
BACK TO THE HOMESTEAD.

AND THEN BONNIE'S
GOING TO JOIN ME

BECAUSE I'LL NEED
A LOT OF HELP.

TO GET THIS TREE
TURNED INTO A TABLE,

IT'S ALMOST MORE THAN A TABLE.

IT'S A STORY.
IT'S HISTORY.

AND KNOWING MY SON,
WHEN HE SITS DOWN

AT THAT TABLE
WITH HIS FRIENDS,

HE'S GOING TO
TELL THEM THE STORY

BEFORE HE LET'S 'EM
HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT.

THEY'RE GOING TO SAY,
"KILCHER, KEEP IT SHORT.

WE'RE HUNGRY."

THIS YEAR, I'M MOST THANKFUL
FOR THE FACT THAT MY SON,

ATZ LEE, IS STILL ALIVE.

HE'S JUST BEEN STRUGGLING
FOR A WHILE WITH HIS RECOVERY.

THAT'S QUITE A CHALLENGE.

Atz Lee: MY HIP'S HURTING
PRETTY GOOD NOW.

Atz: YOU DON'T SIT BY SOMEONE'S
BEDSIDE HOUR AFTER HOUR,

DAY AFTER DAY,

AND THEN SPEND TIME WITH HIM
OUT IN THE WOODS

WITHOUT REALLY GETTING
TO KNOW HIM BETTER,

AND EVEN THOUGH
THEY'RE YOU'RE OWN KID.

I'M THANKFUL THAT I'VE HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY OF SPENDING

A LOT OF TIME WITH HIM,

AND THAT IN THE PROCESS,
ATZ LEE DID A LOT FOR ME.

HE TAUGHT ME A LOT.

THAT'S A GIFT TO ME.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT
WE CALL A BUTTERFLY PATTERN.

EVERYTHING IS DUPLICATED.

TA-DA-DA-DA.

PA-PA-PA.
PA-PA-PA.

PA-TA-PA-TA.

NOW I NEED SOME EXPERTISE.

Dan: YEAH, WELL, WE'LL SEE
HOW MUCH OF THIS LIVE EDGE

WE CAN MAINTAIN IF YOU WANT.

Atz: THAT'D BE GREAT.

GOT A FRIEND OF MINE,
DAN WOOD, GREAT CARPENTER.

I JUST WANT TO BE
PERFECTLY CLEAR HERE

THAT I COULD HAVE DONE THIS
BY MYSELF WITH A CHAINSAW.

I'M NOT SURE ANYBODY
WOULD HAVE WANTED TO SIT DOWN

OR EAT AT THAT TABLE,
HOWEVER.

OKAY, SO LET'S
BISCUIT IT TOGETHER.

ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
WE'LL DO TWO ROWS OF BISCUITS.

MM-HMM.
ANY TIME YOU JOIN

TWO PIECES OF WOOD,

IT CAN BREAK WHERE YOU GLUED IT,

AND SO SOMETIMES
YOU PUT IN BISCUITS,

JUST KIND OF LITTLE ROUND
THINGS JUST LIKE THIS.

SO YOU CUT A HOLE
IN THE SIDE OF THIS SURFACE

AND A HOLE ON THIS SIDE
OF THIS SURFACE.

SO YOU GOT THE GLUE HOLDING
THE TWO SURFACES TOGETHER.

THEN YOU GOT THOSE BISCUITS,
WHICH ADD STRENGTH.

SO JUST GO AHEAD AND LAY HER
DOWN AND JUST BRING IT TOGETHER.

ALL RIGHT.

HELP! DAN!

I AIN'T HELPING YA.

NICE TOP, MAN.

WELL, COULDN'T HAVE
DONE IT WITHOUT YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU.

Bonnie: HAVING DAN HELP US
GET THE HARDEST PARTS

PUT TOGETHER WAS REALLY HELPFUL.

NOW ATZ CAN TAKE HOME
THE PIECES

AND WE CAN PUT 'EM TOGETHER.

Atz: SOMEBODY WILL LOVE
GETTING THIS.

WE'RE CLOSE.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT BOTH LEGS ON

AND PUT BOTH WEDGES IN
AND PUT THE TOP ON IT.

THIS TABLE IS CALLED
A TRESTLE TABLE.

THE TWO LEGS HAVE
A SPREADER BETWEEN THEM.

IT'S COMING.
STARTING IN.

YOU'VE GOT, LIKE,
SAWDUST ALL OVER YOUR FACE.

DO YOU FEEL IT?
OKAY.

I'M 'BOUT TO SEND YOU
BACK TO THE HOUSE.

[ LAUGHS ]

Atz: WHEN YOU DRIVE
THOSE WEDGES IN,

IT KEEPS THAT SPREADER
BETWEEN THOSE TWO LEGS

AND MAKES 'EM WHERE
THEY DON'T DO THIS.

THEY ARE, PFFT, SOLID.

OKAY, BABY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

I HOPE ATZ LEE REALLY
APPRECIATES IT.

YOU HAVE GIVEN ME
MANY OPPORTUNITIES

TO REALLY BE A BETTER FATHER,

AND CUT FROM THE FOREST
WHERE WE BUILT A TABLE,

I HAVE FOR YOU, TA-DA-DA.

HOLY COW.
WHOA!

ATZ, THAT'S GORGEOUS!
LOOK AT THAT BEAUTY.

Atz: SPRUCE FROM THE FOREST
AND COTTONWOOD.

BEAUTIFUL.
ATZ MAKING THAT TABLE FOR ME

MADE ME KIND OF REALIZE
HOW HARD MY ACCIDENT

WAS ON HIM AS WELL TOO.

HE DOESN'T GIVE
GIFTS LIGHTHEARTEDLY.

YOU KNOW, HE MAKES YOU
SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

IT'S BECAUSE HE'S
REALLY BEING THOUGHTFUL

AND BEING THANKFUL,
AND EVEN THOUGH

IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE I DID MUCH
TO HELP HIM OUT,

MY PERSEVERANCE AND STRENGTH
WAS HELPING HIM,

BECAUSE IT'S A PRETTY
EMOTIONAL THING

AS A PARENT TO HAVE TO
SEE YOUR CHILDREN,

SO IT'S A TOUGH THING.

[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH.

Atz: COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR
A MORE PERFECT REACTION,

TO FEEL LIKE,
YEP, IT HIT THE SPOT.

Eivin: I HOPE YOU GUYS
AREN'T GETTING TIRED

OF EVE AND I'S TURKEYS YET.

YOU'RE GOING AFTER THAT --

NO, I WASN'T REALLY
GOING AFTER IT YET.

I WAS JUST EYEING IT.

BEHIND YOU, TURKEY.

TODAY, I'M BUTCHERING
THE TURKEY.

YOU'VE GOT TO KIND OF MAKE
A DECISION AT SOME POINT

WHEN IT DOESN'T NEED
TO GET ANY BIGGER.

YOU'VE GOT TO --
IT'S GOT TO BE SMALL ENOUGH

TO GET IN AN OVEN, REALLY,

AND SO THIS IS KIND OF --
RIGHT NOW,

IT'S PUSHING THE LIMIT
ON THE BIGGEST TURKEY EVER.

PEOPLE BUTCHER TURKEYS
A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

SOME PEOPLE PUT IT UP
ON A BUTCHER BLOCK,

SOME PEOPLE USE
SOME TYPE OF CONE

THAT THEY PUT THE BIRD IN,

BUT FOR ME,
THE EASIEST WAY I'VE FOUND

IS TO JUST WALK UP BEHIND IT
AND JUST WHACK ITS HEAD OFF.

I GREW UP BUTCHERING
A LOT OF DIFFERENT ANIMALS

ON THE HOMESTEAD,
EVERYTHING FROM COWS

AND GEESE, DUCKS,

TURKEYS, CHICKENS,
I MEAN, ALL OF IT,

AND I'D RATHER EAT
A TURKEY THAT I RAISED.

JUST THE LIFE WE LIVE,

AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO
DO IT ANY OTHER WAY.

OKAY.

PRETTY MUCH RIGHT AFTER
IT'S BEEN KILLED,

YOU DUNK IT IN BOILING WATER,

AND THAT REALLY --
IT KIND OF COOKS THE SKIN

JUST A LITTLE BIT
AND IT LOOSENS ALL THE FEATHERS

SO IT MAKES IT REALLY,
REALLY A LOT EASIER TO PLUCK.

[ GRUNTS ]

ALL RIGHT.
THAT IS A TURKEY.

I DIDN'T HAVE
FINDLAY WITH ME TODAY.

HE'S SEEN ME
KILL TURKEYS BEFORE,

BUT THIS YEAR, HE WASN'T
THAT EXCITED ABOUT SEEING IT.

HE WAS A LITTLE SAD
THAT THE TURKEYS HAD TO DIE,

AND SO I'M NOT GOING TO
FORCE HIM TO DO ANYTHING

THAT IS ULTIMATELY
GOING TO MAKE HIM UPSET.

KILLING HIM IS -- IS EASY.

IT'S THE CLEANING HIM

AND THE PLUCKING HIM THAT
REALLY TAKES A LONG TIME.

THE TURKEY ALWAYS LOOKS BIGGER
WITH THE FEATHERS ON,

WHEN IT'S ALIVE
AND FLUFFED UP, YOU KNOW?

IT FLUFFS ALL OF
ITS FEATHERS UP.

BUT, YOU KNOW,
ONCE YOU GET HIM KILLED,

YOU START PLUCKING HIM,
YOU START TO GET

A REALLY GOOD IDEA
OF HOW BIG THE TURKEY IS,

AND THIS IS A REALLY --

IT'S A PERFECT SIZED TURKEY
FOR THANKSGIVING.

FINALLY, I TAKE A BLOWTORCH
JUST TO BURN OFF ANY REAL,

REAL FINE KIND OF DOWNY FEATHERS
THAT I MISSED.

TURKEYS HAVE WHAT'S CALLED
A CRAW KIND OF IN THEIR NECK,

IN THEIR THROAT RIGHT THERE.

THE CRAW IS KIND OF
LIKE A SQUIRREL'S CHEEKS.

YOU KNOW, A SQUIRREL CAN STORE
A BUNCH OF FOOD IN ITS CHEEKS.

THESE BIRDS CAN STORE
A BUNCH OF FOOD IN THEIR CRAW.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE
HALFWAY DOWN THEIR THROAT

BEFORE IT GOES TO THEIR STOMACH.

YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING,

'CAUSE IT'S REALLY
NOT GROSS AT ALL.

IT'S JUST, LIKE --
IT'S JUST CHICKEN FOOD.

YOU KNOW?
YOU WOULD FEED THAT

RIGHT BACK TO THE CHICKENS.

THIS IS A PERFECT SIZED TURKEY.
IT REALLY IS.

BIG ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY
TO HAVE A BUNCH OF TURKEY

FOR THANKSGIVING
AND STILL SEND HOME

SOME MEAT FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

TAKE THIS INSIDE AND GIVE IT
TO EVE FOR THANKSGIVING.

WHO ELSE WOULD LIKE SOME TURKEY?

LIGHT OR DARK MEAT?
SEND YOUR PLATE DOWN THIS WAY.

OH, LET ME HAVE A LITTLE CHUNK
OF WHITE MEAT THERE.

SO WHICH WAY DO
THE POTATOES GO?

DOES IT GO THIS WAY?
I THINK IT'S PUFF PUFF PASS.

I THINK IT'S TO THE LEFT.
YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE LEFT.

YOU DON'T GET POTATOES
TILL LAST.

Narrator: STILL AHEAD
ON THIS SEASON OF

"ALASKA -- THE LAST FRONTIER,"
IN A SPECIAL MEGA-EPISODE...

TIMBER!

WOO!

THE KILCHERS ARE THROWN INTO
SUMMER'S PRESSURE COOKER.

THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN
MAKE ALL THIS HAPPEN.

WE'VE GOT TO GET THE BOAT
OFF THE BEACH.

THEY DON'T NEED IT.

I JUST THOUGHT IF WE COULD
GET IT DONE FASTER AS A FAMILY.

Narrator:
JANE BATTLES A MONSTER..

OH, MY GOD.
IT'S HUGE!

WHERE'S THE GUN?
GET THE GUN!

[ GUNSHOTS ]
OH, MY GOD.

Narrator:
ENDLESS SUMMER DAYS CHALLENGE
THE FAMILY'S SURVIVAL...

WHOA!
OH, MY GOD!

Otto: WE HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL.
SOMEBODY COULD DIE.

WHOA! WHAT THE HELL!

HOLY --

RUN!
LOOK OUT, LOOK OUT, LOOK OUT!

AND JEWEL KILCHER RIDES
AGAIN TO HELP A FRIEND IN NEED.

I DON'T LIKE YOU IN THERE
WITH THAT BULL, DAD.

Otto:
IT'S STILL PLENTY OF HOMESTEAD
FOR EVERYBODY,

SO THEY WON'T -- THEY WILL
STILL KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

Eivin: I WAS HOPING THAT THAT
GOOSE MIGHT GRACE THE TABLE,

BUT NOT YET.
NOPE.

YOU STAY AWAY
FROM MY GOOSE.

I KNOW.

THIS YEAR FOR THANKSGIVING,

WE'RE KIND OF PUTTING SOME
THOUGHT INTO FRIENDS AND FAMILY

THAT HAVE DONE THINGS FOR US
THAT HAVE REALLY HELPED,

THINGS THAT WE COULDN'T HAVE
NECESSARILY DONE FOR OURSELVES,

AND WE WANT TO GIVE BACK
TO THOSE PEOPLE.

HOW'D YOU OCCUPY YOUR
PRE-THANKSGIVING TIME, EIVIN?

MICAH TOOK ME
DEER HUNTING LAST YEAR,

AND SINCE HE'S
A COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN

OUT IN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND,

I'M JUST KIND OF
THINKING OF SOMETHING

THAT HE MIGHT BE ABLE
TO MAKE USE OUT OF,

SO I BUILT HIM AN AIR-POWERED
GRAPPLING CANON.

I WAS DEFINITELY RAISED
TO REALLY SHOW YOUR THANK-YOU

KIND OF BY YOUR ACTIONS.

INSTEAD OF JUST
SAYING THANK YOU,

WHAT CAN YOU ACTUALLY DO

THAT REALLY MAKES AN IMPACT
IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE?

MY BUDDY MICAH TOOK ME
DEER HUNTING LAST YEAR.

IT WAS AN AWESOME FAVOR
THAT HE DID FOR ME.

I DEFINITELY WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU TO HIM.

SO I'M GOING TO BUILD HIM
A COMPRESSED AIR-POWERED

GRAPPLING GUN.

START MY GRAPPLING HOOK.

A GRAPPLING GUN IS SOMETHING
THAT SHOOTS A GRAPPLING HOOK

FARTHER THAN YOU CAN THROW IT,

AND A GRAPPLING HOOK IS
BASICALLY JUST A BIG HOOK

THAT'S GOT A ROPE
OR A STRING TIED ON IT.

THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU CAN USE

FOR SO MANY
DIFFERENT PURPOSES.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO CUT
THIS OUT ON THE BAND SAW.

MICAH'S A COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN.

OFTENTIMES IN
THE MARITIME INDUSTRY,

A GRAPPLING HOOK
GETS USED FOR

HOOKING ONTO A LINE
OR A NET IN THE WATER,

SO YOU MIGHT FIND
IT SUPER USEFUL.

DEFINITELY A MEDIEVAL
TORTURE DEVICE.

I'M GOING TO BUILD A HOOK
OUT OF ALUMINUM

AND MY GUN OR CANNON IS GOING TO
BE MADE OUT OF PVC PIPE

USING COMPRESSED AIR
TO FIRE IT.

I'M REALLY, REALLY HOPEFUL
THAT IT FIRES ABOUT 100 FEET.

LOOKING GOOD.

MY DESIGN WAS SOMETHING
THAT KIND OF

IS A LITTLE BIT
MORE SHOULDER-MOUNTED,

KIND OF MORE LIKE A BAZOOKA.

HECK YES.

I'VE BUILT EVERYTHING FROM
LIKE LITTLE PELLET GUNS,

THINGS ALL THE WAY UP TO, LIKE,
HIGH-POWERED AIR RIFLES.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING,
IF IT'S SHOOTING A PROJECTILE,

IT NEEDS TO BE TREATED AS IF
IT'S ABSOLUTELY A DEADLY WEAPON.

SEE IF IT TAKES THE PRESSURE.

[ BANG ]

HOLY [BLEEP].

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU HAVEN'T LET IT

FINISH FILLING UP
WITH AIR YET.

AH.

I NEED TO GO CHANGE MY PANTS.

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD
ON ALL OF IT.

I'VE GOT TO SCRAP THIS.
THIS IS NOT SAFE.

I'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH
A BETTER WAY TO LAUNCH THIS,

SOMETHING THAT I FEEL
IS SAFE ENOUGH

TO HAND OVER TO MY FRIEND

AND SAY, "HERE,
THIS IS A FUN TOY,"

INSTEAD OF, LIKE, "HERE,
THIS MIGHT BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF."

THAT.

SEE, I CAN HAVE
A HANDLE RIGHT THERE.

ONE THING I CAN
DEFINITELY DO HERE

TO MAKE THIS THING SAFER,

AND THAT'S KIND OF
SCREW IT TOGETHER.

IT ACTUALLY IS WHAT
EXPLODED ON ME LAST TIME

WAS IT JUST SEPARATED
AT ALL THESE GLUE JOINTS.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO REMEMBER THIS TIME OF YEAR

TO JUST BE THANKFUL
FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU

AND SHARE THE WEALTH,
SHARE THE THANK YOUS,

AND BE THERE TO HELP A FRIEND
WHEN HE'S THERE TO HELP YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S FILL IT UP WITH AIR
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

LET'S SEE IF IT
DOESN'T EXPLODE ON US.

HERE WE GO.

MAN.

JUST GOING TO HIDE OVER HERE

TILL THE AIR COMPRESSOR
GOES OFF.

THE ANTICIPATION IS KILLING ME.

THE AIR COMPRESSOR'S
DONE FILLING UP.

YOU KNOW, IT'S HOLDING TOGETHER.
ALL RIGHT,

LET'S GIVE IT
THE OLD TEST-A-ROONI.

THAT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE
INSIDE OF THERE,

AND ULTIMATELY,
I HAVE NO IDEA

HOW WELL IT'S GOING TO WORK
UNTIL WE GET TO THE MOMENT.

HERE WE GO.

WHOA!

THAT'S GOT KICK.

THAT WAS AWESOME.

OH, MAN.

T HIT THE WALL THERE, BUT...

OH, THAT'S 100 FEET FOR SURE.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING FOR,
100 FEET.

I THINK MICAH'S GOING TO BE
SUPER STOKED TO GET THIS GIFT.

I'M SUPER HAPPY WITH IT,
READY TO GIVE IT TO MICAH.

THE FIRST TIME I SHOT IT,
IT THREW ME BACK INTO A WALL.

WHAT'S HE GOING TO
USE IT FOR?

WELL, LINE RETRIEVAL,
YOU KNOW?

CHILDREN RETRIEVAL?
YEAH.

YOU NEED TO RETRIEVE A CHILD,
WHATEVER.

EVE, WHAT DID YOU DO
FOR THIS THANKSGIVING?

I BUILT ELLI A GARDEN.

Eve: FOR THIS YEAR'S
THANKSGIVING,

WE ARE ALL TRYING
TO DO SOMETHING

FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN OUR LIVES

THAT DID SOMETHING FOR US

THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL
AND MEANINGFUL.

LAST YEAR, MY SISTER ELLI
WENT HUNTING WITH EIVIN

WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH SPARROW
AND HELPED US BRING HOME

A LOT OF MEAT
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

[ GUNSHOT ]

GOOD SHOT.
THANK YOU.

I'D REALLY LIKE TO MAKE
ELLI A GARDEN BOX.

AH.

SO, FIRST I NEEDED TO GET
SOME DIRT FOR THE GARDEN BOX,

BUT I'VE NEVER USED
AN EXCAVATOR BEFORE.

THIS IS REALLY HARD.

AH!

OH, MY WORD.

UGH.

DO I HAVE ANY IN THERE?

NO.

WHOA. WRONG WAY.

MY BRAIN. OKAY.

OH, MY GOD!
YEEHAW!

I GOT A WHOLE BUCKET
FULL OF DIRT!

HOLY BOULDER.

[ LAUGHS ]

THAT IS MOSTLY DIRT.

ELLI DOES THINGS
FOR ME ALL THE TIME,

SO THIS IS DEFINITELY
A THANK YOU

FOR HELPING US OUT SO MUCH.

THAT'S EXCITING.

WHOA.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
I PULLED THIS OFF.

TIME TO HEAD TO ELLI'S.

ELLI'S AWAY RIGHT NOW,

SO I'M JUST TRYING
TO GET THIS DONE FOR HER.

ELLI HAS A BEAUTIFUL
LITTLE CABIN

AT THE TOP OF THE MEADOWS.

I'M USING SLABS.

PUT A BUNCH OF DIRT IN THERE.

BLOOD AND BONE MEAL

FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT
NUTRIENTS NEEDED.

SOME COMPOST TO JUST
GET ALL THOSE MICROBES.

PERFECT.

AND THEN IT WAS READY TO PLANT.

THANKS FOR BEING
MY BIG HELPER TODAY.

I LOVE INCORPORATING
FINDLAY WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

LET'S DO SOME KALE,
'CAUSE WE KNOW

THAT AUNTIE BELL'S
FAVORITE THING IS KALE.

A REALLY IMPORTANT
LESSON HERE

IS THAT WE DO THINGS
FOR OUR FAMILY,

AND FINDLAY IS REALLY EXCITED.

HE LOVES HIS AUNTIE ELLI.

DO YOU WANT TO PUT THE --
IT'S VERY TINY NOW.

IT'S SO TINY,
BUT IT'S GOING TO GROW BIG.

DO YOU WANT TO PUT
THE DIRT AROUND IT?

YES.
YEAH?

TUCK 'EM IN THE BED
SO HE GROWS BIG.

NICE JOB.
TINY.

IT'S REALLY TINY.

I KNOW ELLI IS GOING TO BE
BESIDE HERSELF EXCITED

WHEN SHE SEES
THE GARDEN BOXES,

SO I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW THEM
TO HER WHEN SHE COMES HOME.

YOU DROVE AN EXCAVATOR?

YEAH, I DROVE THE EXCAVATOR.
I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THAT.

IT WAS REALLY FUN,
I HAVE TO SAY.

I CAN BRING HOME THE BACON.

YEAH, I LIKE THE LOOK.
YEAH, RIGHT ON.

I CAN DO THAT.

Otto: TOWING THINGS DOWNHILL.

THE TRAILER HAS NO BRAKES.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PROJECT.

OH, GOD, OH, GOD, OH, GOD.

Otto: WHERE'D THE GRAVY GO?
Eve: I STOLE IT.

HERE, OTTO. SORRY.

Otto:
EVERY THANKSGIVING SHOULD BE
THINKING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE,

OTHER THINGS BESIDES OURSELF,

BUT THIS YEAR,
WE'VE INTENTIONALLY

DONE SOMETHING
FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

MMM.

SHE'S GOING MMM, MMM, MMM.

OH, SHE LOVES FOOD.

SHE'S, LIKE, ALWAYS STARVING.
OH, MY GOODNESS.

UM, SO WHAT DID YOU
DO THIS YEAR, OTTO?

I TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY

TO CLEAN UP A LITTLE BIT
AROUND THE HOUSE,

TRY TO MAKE CHARLOTTE
A LITTLE BIT HAPPIER.

AW.

DID I HEAR THAT RIGHT?
THAT'S AWESOME.

HI, OTTO.
HOW'S IT GOING?

HI, JEREMY.

YOU SHOWED UP.
I DID.

DESPITE THE RAIN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
JEREMY'S MY NEIGHBOR,

AND JEREMY'S THE KIND OF GUY

YOU CAN COUNT ON
TO BE THERE IN A PINCH

AND HE WON'T ASK WHY.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO
IS GIVE CHARLOTTE

A LITTLE BIT BETTER FRONT
OF HER HOUSE FOR THANKSGIVING.

CHARLOTTE,
SHE'S BEEN LIVING HERE

WITH THIS MAD HOMESTEADER
FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW,

AND... SO, TODAY'S PROJECT,
I'M GOING TO MOVE THIS TRAILER

TO GIVE MY DEAR WIFE MORE OF A
HOMEY FEELING FOR THANKSGIVING.

SO I WANT TO
GET THIS OUT OF HERE,

YOU KNOW, JUST OPEN UP
THIS SPACE A LITTLE BIT.

SURE.

WE'VE GOT A 40-FOOT
TRAILER AND A MUDDY ROAD.

WELL, LET'S HOOK IT UP AND SEE
IF WE CAN GET OUT OF HERE.

SOUNDS GOOD.

Otto: ANY TIME YOU START
A PROJECT AND IT RAINS,

IT DOUBLES THE RISK.

AH!

HEAVY, HUH?
YEAH.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A FEW
CALCULATED RISKS

AND SEE IF WE CAN'T GET
THIS TRAILER MOVED OUT OF HERE

BEFORE CHARLOTTE GETS HOME.

OH, MY GOD.

WE'VE GOT HISTORY
IN THE MAKING HERE.

KIND OF BUMMING OUT, ACTUALLY.

BUT I'M HAPPY TO GIVE
CHARLOTTE A SURPRISE.

HEY, GOOSE.
HEY, GOOSE.

MOVING THIS TRAILER IS ACTUALLY
A PRETTY BIG DEAL FOR ME,

BECAUSE WE USE THAT
TRAILER EVERY DAY

IN THE CONTINUAL
BUILDING OF OUR HOUSE.

SO ON ONE LEVEL,
IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT

TO HAVE TO GO FARTHER
TO GET OUR WORK TOOLS,

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND,

IT'S GOING TO HELP
CHARLOTTE'S SPIRIT OUT

TO COME OUT OF THAT DOOR

AND NOT STARE
STRAIGHT AT A VAN.

BACK THERE, YOUR BACK WHEEL
IS SLID WAY DOWN.

YEAH, LET'S GET OUT
AND LOOK AT THIS REAL QUICK.

SO I'M A LITTLE
NERVOUS ABOUT THIS.

WE'VE GOT TO DO
A 180 ON THE ROAD,

TURN THIS VAN AROUND
IN A VERY SHORT SPACE,

AND WE'VE GOT
A REALLY BAD INCLINE

RIGHT WHERE WE HAVE TO TURN.

I'M WORRIED
ABOUT THE TRAILER,

THE REAR GOING UP
THIS HILL AT AN ANGLE.

IT COULD EVEN TIP.

OH, [BLEEP], YEAH.

YEAH, AND THAT'S
A PRETTY GOOD ANGLE

FOR SOMETHING THIS HIGH.

Otto: WE COULD GET STUCK.

THE TRAILER COULD TURN OVER.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PROJECT.

OH, GOD,
OH, GOD, OH, GOD.

PULL.
IT CAME BACK.

I AM IMPRESSED.

Jeremy: THAT WENT REALLY WELL,
BUT IT'S FAR FROM OVER.

WE'VE STILL GOT TO
GO DOWN THE ROAD

AND IT'S SLIPPERY

AND THERE'S A HILL
THEN IT'LL BE PUSHING ON IT.

Otto: I'M REALLY NERVOUS
ABOUT GOING DOWN THIS HILL.

IT'S THE STEEPEST
HILL ON THE ROAD.

SO HERE WE GO.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS

WHEN YOU'RE TOWING
THINGS DOWNHILL

IS THE TRAILER STARTS
PUSHING THE TRACTOR.

YOU KNOW, THE TRAILER
TONGUE GOING UP

JEREMY'S ASS,

LITERALLY.

I'M GOING TO STAY BEHIND HIM
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO END UP

IN THE MIDDLE OF
A PILE-UP DOWN THERE.

THE TRAILER'S GOT TO WEIGH
ABOUT 20,000 POUNDS.

THE TRACTOR WE'RE
PULLING IT WITH,

IT HAS BRAKES,
BUT THE TRAILER HAS NO BRAKES.

WE JUST HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL.

ANOTHER QUARTER-MILE,
WE'LL BE GOOD.

IT'S PERFECT!
WE'RE REALLY GOOD.

MY FRIEND JEREMY
CAME OVER TO HELP.

WE DO FAVORS BACK
AND FORTH FOR EACH OTHER,

AND ACTUALLY WE'RE ALWAYS
JUST IN THIS CONTINUAL STATE

OF THANKFULNESS AMONG OUR FAMILY
AND AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS.

RIGHT BACK THERE.
WE'RE GOING RIGHT BACK IN THERE.

THANKSGIVING IS A NICE TIME
TO ACTUALLY ACCENTUATE THAT.

LET'S QUIT RIGHT THERE.

I'M A LITTLE BIT SAD
BECAUSE MY MAN CAVE'S GONE,

BUT, UM, YOU KNOW,
THERE'S MORE CAVES TO EXPLORE.

Charlotte:
OTTO DEFINITELY WON MY HEART

BY CLEANING UP THAT STUFF
AROUND THE HOUSE.

IT IS AWESOME.

BUT DID HE GET RID OF IT
OR JUST RELOCATE IT?

OH, NO, HE RELOCATED IT.
RIGHT.

[ LAUGHTER ]

SO, SHANE, WHAT HAVE YOU
BROUGHT TO "FRUITITION"?

BROUGHT TO WHAT?
FRUITION.

FRUITION.
FRUITION.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YOU DONE GETTING EDUCATED
GOOD DOWN THERE, BOY.

FRUITITION,
THAT'S A REALLY BIG WORD.

Otto: MAKING FUN OF
MY BOY'S EDUCATION!

WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU
THANKFUL FOR IN PARTICULAR?

UM, YOU KNOW,
THIS YEAR I WANTED

TO EXPRESS
MY THANKS TO MY WIFE,

AND SHE'S BEEN
HELPING ME DOWN

AT THE WORK SITE
A LOT MORE THIS YEAR.

ONE OF HER CHIEF
COMPLAINTS IS THAT

IT'S SO FAR
TO GO TO THE OUTHOUSE.

SO I CONVERTED THE OLD
SMOKEHOUSE INTO AN OUTHOUSE

WHILE SHE WAS GONE ONE AFTERNOON
AND SURPRISED HER WITH IT.

WHOA.

LEAVE IT TO SHANE TO MAKE
AN OUTHOUSE ROMANTIC.

WELL, IS IT, LIKE,
A NON-SMOKING OUTHOUSE

OR A SMOKING OUTHOUSE?

TOTALLY NON-SMOKING NOW.

IT'S NON-SMOKING NOW.

I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND HANGING
THE FISH IN IT NEXT YEAR.

NO.

SHANE WAS SO NICE ABOUT
GETTING ME THE OUTHOUSE,

SO I DECIDED TO MAKE HIM
SOMETHING HORRIBLY EMBARRASSING.

Otto: UH-OH.

PUT THIS ON YOUR HEAD.
OH, WOW.

THAT'S GREAT.
THAT IS AWESOME.

[ CHATTER ]

Charlotte: YEAH,
THAT IS AWESOME.

Atz Lee: YOU HAVE TO MAKE
A CROCHETED SWORD

TO GO ALONG WITH THAT.

Charlotte: GO REALLY SLOW.

HOW'S IT COMING?
THE DANG THING COULD TIP OVER.

August: I REALLY
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL

THAT IT DOESN'T FALL
ONTO MY MOM.

Otto: DURING OUR MOVE,
A BEER CAN SURFACED.

LOOKIE THERE.
A VINTAGE BEER.

PERFECTLY GOOD
CAN OF BEER.

LET'S SEE IF
IT'S ANY GOOD.

Jeremy: WELL, I WOULDN'T
EVEN DRINK THAT.

BOTTOMS UP!

OH, MY GOSH.

Otto: AS I WAS DRINKING IT,
I THOUGHT, "OOH,

THIS DOESN'T QUITE TASTE
EXACTLY FRESH.

LET'S SEE JUST
HOW OLD IT IS."

'98.

[ JEREMY LAUGHS ]

Otto: NOT BAD, YOU KNOW?

ABOUT AN 18-YEAR-OLD BEER.

WELL-SEASONED.

JUST LIKE ME.

WELL, JEREMY,
IF I DROP OVER DEAD,

YOU'LL KNOW WHY.

DOES ANYBODY WANT ANY MEAD?
IT'S REALLY DELICIOUS.

YES. I DO. I'M THE ONLY ONE
DRINKING DOWN HERE.

OH, IT IS GOOD.

OOH, THAT'S REALLY GOOD.
BETTER OVER ICE.

Charlotte:
THIS YEAR'S THANKSGIVING,

WE WERE THANKFUL
FOR A PERSON IN OUR LIVES

AND WANTED TO REPAY THEM.

I DID A PRETTY FUN THING.

THIS YEAR'S THANKSGIVING,

I WANT TO PAY AUGUST BACK
FOR ALL OF THE HELPFULNESS

THAT HE'S GIVEN US
OVER THE YEARS

AND MAKE HIM A REALLY
NICE PLACE TO LIVE.

AUGUST IS GOING TO BE LEAVING
FOR COLLEGE PRETTY SOON

AND WE WANT HIM TO BE
ABLE TO COME BACK

AND HAVE SOMETHING
TO COME TO THAT'S HIS.

I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE IDEA
OF AUGUST LEAVING HOME,

BUT I TOTALLY SUPPORT HIM
GOING TO COLLEGE.

A NEIGHBOR OF OURS
HAD THIS FUNKY OLD HOUSE

AND WAS JUST GOING TO
GET RID OF IT.

WE THOUGHT,
"WHOA, THAT ACTUALLY IS

A PERFECT
LITTLE CABIN FOR AUGUST,"

SO WE TALKED HIM INTO HANDING IT
OVER TO US

INSTEAD OF DEMOLISHING IT.

August: KNOWING THAT THIS IS
GOING TO BE MY FIRST

AND I'M NOT GOING TO REALLY
HAVE TO SPEND MY TIME

IN MY PARENTS' HOUSE ANYMORE
IS ACTUALLY REALLY EXCITING.

Charlotte: I WANT AUGUST
TO FEEL AT HOME

WHEN HE COMES BACK
TO THE HOMESTEAD.

I WANT HIM TO FEEL LIKE
HE'S GOT HIS OWN PLACE.

MAYBE THAT'LL MAKE HIM
WANT TO COME HOME MORE.

ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE THERE.

AUGUST PICKED OUT A SPOT
THAT HE WANTED ON THE PROPERTY

THAT'S FAIRLY NEAR EIVIN

AND A LITTLE BIT FURTHER
AWAY FROM US.

AM I GOING TO
RUN INTO ANYTHING?

YOU'RE OKAY.

SO AUGUST AND I ARE GOING TO

MOVE HIS CABIN
TO ITS FINAL SPOT.

AM I GOING TO HIT THE CAR?
NO, YOU'RE PRETTY PERFECT.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO
BACK THIS CABIN

ALL THE WAY INTO ITS SITE

AND HE'S NOT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING.

MORE TURN!
YEAH, YEAH.

WE'VE REACHED A REALLY SCARY
POINT IN IT WHERE

WE'VE GOT TO MAKE IT AROUND
THIS OLD HOUSE THAT'S HERE.

GO REALLY SLOW.

August: I REALLY,
REALLY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL

THAT IT DOESN'T FALL OFF
THE TRAILER

OR ONTO MY MOM
OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT.

HOW'S IT COMING?
THE DANG THING COULD TIP OVER.

OKAY, AUGUST, STOP.

I THINK THAT'S
WHERE YOU WANT IT.

August: I'M VERY, VERY HAPPY
THAT I FINALLY HAVE MY CABIN

EXACTLY WHERE I WANT IT TO BE

AND I DIDN'T SMASH MY MOM
ON THE WAY.

Charlotte: I THINK AUGUST
IS REALLY EXCITED

ABOUT HAVING
HIS OWN LITTLE PLACE.

WOW.
FITS PERFECTLY, RIGHT?

IT'S NOT MUCH,
BUT IT'S A START.

IT'S KIND OF HOW EIVIN
STARTED OUT.

AWESOME.
HIGH-FIVE.

HIGH-FIVE.
HIGH-FIVE.

HIGH-FIVE. HIGH-FIVE.
HIGH-FIVE. HIGH-FIVE.

HIGH-FIVE. HIGH-FIVE.
HIGH-FIVE.

[ LAUGHS ]

IT'S JUST SO COOL TO SEE THAT
IT'S REALLY COMING TOGETHER.

Charlotte: I'M NOT ONLY BUILDING
A CABIN FOR AUGUST,

BUT I FEEL LIKE WE'RE BUILDING
SOME IMPORTANT MEMORIES TOGETHER

THAT I'M GOING TO
CHERISH FOREVER.

ALL RIGHT. WELL...
SWEET.

August: MY CABIN
TURNED OUT EXCELLENT

AND IT'S JUST GOING TO BE
MINE AND MINE ALONE.

NOW WE NEED SOME FURNITURE
AND WE CAN CALL A HOUSE A HOME.

Charlotte: SO CUTE!

I'M KIND OF HOPING THAT IT
WILL ACT AS A LURE

TO BRING HIM BACK HERE.

IT'S A GOOD PLAN.
THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN

A LITTLE ULTERIOR
MOTIVE THERE,

BUT NOW HE'S GOT
A SWEET LITTLE CABIN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, AUGUST?
YOU GOING TO COME BACK HOME?

IT DEPENDS.

BUT THE THING I FEEL
MOST THANKFUL FOR

IS THAT I GOT TO
HAVE THANKSGIVING

WITH TWO OF MY GRANDCHILDREN
AT THE TABLE THIS YEAR.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A TOAST
TO SPARROW'S FIRST THANKSGIVING.

YEAH.
CHEERS, SPARROW.

CHEERS.
[ YODELS ]

Eivin: A LOT OF TIMES,
MY FAMILY IS PRETTY SERIOUS.

HAVING A MEAL LIKE THIS

WHERE EVERYBODY IS
REALLY GENUINELY HAPPY,

IT BRINGS IT BACK TO,
YOU KNOW,

NOT JUST THE HARD WORK
THAT MY FAMILY DOES,

BUT THE FUN THAT
WE HAVE TOGETHER.

[ CHATTER ]

YEAH.

Eve: I'M ALWAYS THE MOST
THANKFUL FOR MY FAMILY

AND LIVING WHERE WE LIVE
AND THE WAY WE LIVE.

Otto: OH, MY GOD, YEAH.

Atz Lee:
I LOVE DOING THANKSGIVING
ON THE KILCHER HOMESTEAD,

BUT I KIND OF WANT TO BE ABLE
TO BUILD NEW MEMORIES TOO

FOR THE UPCOMING GENERATIONS

AND I WOULD LOVE TO SOMEDAY
HAVE THANKSGIVING OUT

IN THE BACKCOUNTRY
OF THE NEW HOMESTEAD.

IT'D BE FUN FOR
THE NEXT GENERATION,

YOU KNOW, FOR LITTLE
FINDLAY AND HIS SISTER

TO HAVE THIS GREAT MEMORY

OF THIS HUGE VOYAGE,
THIS MASSIVE MISSION

WHERE THEY COULDN'T
DROP THE TURKEY

FOR THREE AND A HALF HOURS,
YOU KNOW.

JUST BEATING THEIR WAY
INTO THE WILDERNESS

AND HAVING THAT KIND OF MEMORY
I THINK WOULD BE REALLY NEAT.

Atz: TO ANOTHER GREAT YEAR
ON THE HOMESTEAD.

[ CHATTER ]

Narrator: AFTER YEARS AWAY
MAKING MUSIC

AND STARTING A FAMILY,

ATZ'S DAUGHTER JEWEL
FINALLY RETURNS HOME...

[ YODELS ]

COME HERE, MY GRANDSON.
HOW FAR CAN YOU FLY?

HO HO!

Narrator:
JANE AND ATZ LEE SET OUT

IN SEARCH OF
A CRUCIAL FOOD SOURCE,

ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT
THEY MIGHT BE ON THE MENU...

Jane: THESE ARE
GIANT HOOF TRACKS.

Narrator: AND OTTO ONCE AGAIN
RISKS HIS RECOVERY

WHEN IT'S LIFE OR DEATH
FOR A PARALYZED COW.

I'M GOING TO BE DEVASTATED
IF THIS COW HAS TO BE KILLED.

OTTO!
[ BLEEP ]
