GLENN VILLENEUVE: IT'S FALL
TIME HERE IN THE BROOKS RANGE.

THE FIRST SNOW IS
ALREADY ON THE GROUND.

AND IT'S AN
EXCITING TIME OF THE YEAR.

WINTER'S JUST
AROUND THE CORNER.

AND THIS TIME OF YEAR
IS WHEN I GO OUT AND START

LOOKING FOR A MOOSE.

IT'S MY FIRST
DAY MOOSE HUNTING.

I'M LOOKING AROUND,
SEE WHAT I CAN FIND.

MOOSE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

NARRATOR: 200 MILES
FROM CIVILIZATION,

GLENN VILLENEUVE RELIES
ON THE SURROUNDING WILDLIFE

TO SURVIVE.

BUT WITH LIMITED OPPORTUNITY
FOR MOOSE BEFORE THEY BECOME

SCARCE IN DARK WINTER,
GLENN MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF

THE BRIEF FALL SEASON AND
EMBARK ON HIS MOST CRITICAL

HUNT OF THE YEAR.

GLENN VILLENEUVE:
WHEN I GET A MOOSE,

THAT MOOSE SEES ME THROUGH
A GOOD PART OF THE WINTER.

THERE'S A LOT OF MEAT
ON A BIG BULL MOOSE.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT HUNT.

MOST YEARS, I'LL WALK 25
TO 50 MILES TO GET A MOOSE.

IN THIS COUNTRY, THERE
ARE NOT THAT MANY MOOSE.

AND THE MOOSE AROUND ARE SPREAD
OUT OVER A LOT OF TERRITORY.

LOOK AT THIS.

THAT'S A FRESH MOOSE SCAT.

MOOSE WALKED RIGHT
DOWN THROUGH HERE,

DEFECATED RIGHT HERE.

THIS ISN'T VERY OLD.

LISTEN TO THAT.

AND I JUST HEARD A BULL MOOSE
GRUNT RIGHT OVER THIS WAY.

I GOTTA TRY AND
GET THIS MOOSE.

♪ [THEME MUSIC PLAYS] ♪

♪ ♪

I JUST HEARD A BULL MOOSE.

IT'S THE FIRST TIME
THIS FALL THAT I'VE HEARD A

BULL MOOSE GRUNT.

HE'S OVER THAT WAY.

A LOT OF TIMES, I'LL
LOCATE MOOSE BY MY EARS,

LONG BEFORE I CAN SEE HIM.

THAT MOOSE, HE'S
PROBABLY A MILE AWAY,

BUT I CAN HEAR HIM.

AND IF I HEAD OVER THERE,
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE HE'LL

STILL BE IN THE AREA.

IN ORDER TO INTERCEPT THE FEW
ANIMALS THAT LIVE OUT HERE,

I HAVE TO COVER A
LOT OF TERRITORY.

IT'S A HARSH COUNTRY AND
THE ANIMALS ARE SPREAD OUT

OVER A LOT OF TERRAIN.

THERE'S THE BULL.

THAT'S A BIG BULL
MOOSE RIGHT THERE.

YOU SEE, HE'S SNIFFING THE
REAR END OF THAT COW RIGHT NOW,

CHECKING HER OUT.

YOU SEE HOW HE'S
CURLING HIS LIP?

HOLDING HIS HEAD UP,
HE JUST SNIFFED HER.

WE GET LUCKY, WE MIGHT SEE HIM
JUMP RIGHT UP ON TOP OF HER.

HUNTING MOOSE, IT'S ALL
ABOUT SEX AND DECEPTION.

HE WANTS TO BE THE ONE
TO MATE WITH THE COWS.

I'VE GOTTA ACT LIKE
ANOTHER BULL MOOSE,

BECAUSE THAT BULL
DOESN'T WANT ME AROUND.

THERE'S NO WAY THAT
BULL IS GONNA LEAVE THAT

COW RIGHT NOW.

IT'S STARTING TO RAIN.

AND IF I WERE TO
KILL A MOOSE REAL LATE,

AND IT STARTED
RAINING A LOT TONIGHT,

THAT WOULD BE BAD.

IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE MEAT.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
AFTER YOU GET A MOOSE IS TO

KEEP THE MEAT DRY.

SO, RATHER THAN STAY
UP REALLY LATE TONIGHT,

I'M GONNA CALL IT A NIGHT NOW.

TOMORROW, I CAN GET UP
AND GO OUT REAL EARLY,

HAVE A LOOK AROUND.

MAYBE THE WEATHER
WILL BE BETTER.

AGNES HAILSTONE:
THERE'S LOTS TO SEE,

THE COUNTRY IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S STILL A FUN RIDE.

IT'S A REAL NICE DAY TO GO
FISHING AT CAMP, ALL RIGHT.

KIND OF WINDY, NOT TOO BAD.

SO, TODAY, I'M
GOING OUT ON THE BOAT,

AND WE'RE HEADING
TO KOOKOOCHIAQ.

I'M TAKING TINMIAQ
AND QUTAN WITH ME.

WE'RE GONNA BE
SETTING A SALMON NET.

IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE LAST
SALMON FISHING FOR THE SEASON.

WITHOUT YOUR DAD, IT'S GONNA BE
AN ADVENTURE IF WE BREAK DOWN,

BUT WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.

CHIP'S NOT GONNA BE
HERE TO DIRECT US OR HELP US

IF WE GET STUCK.

CHIP HAILSTONE: HAVE FUN.

TING HAILSTONE: I LOVE YA.

CHIP HAILSTONE:
GOODBYE, I'LL SEE YOU.

TING HAILSTONE:
I LOVE YOU, DAD!

CHIP HAILSTONE:
LOVE YOU, BUNS.

QUTAN HAILSTONE:
LOVE YOU, DAD.

CHIP HAILSTONE:
SEE YOU, AGNES.

HUSBAND AND HUNTING PARTNER,

CHIP, IS SERVING A 15-MONTH
SENTENCE IN ANCHORAGE FOR A

NON-VIOLENT MISDEMEANOR,
FORCING THE FAMILY TO PROVIDE

FOR THEMSELVES TO SURVIVE THE
MONTHS AHEAD IN HIS ABSENCE.

AGNES HAILSTONE:
HERE YOU GO, DINNER.

NARRATOR: WITH WINTER ON THE
HORIZON AND THE SALMON SEASON

COMING TO AN END, THE GIRLS
MUST TRAVEL TO THEIR CAMP IN

KOOKOOCHIAQ TO SECURE
THE VITAL RESOURCE BEFORE

THE RIVER FREEZES.

AGNES HAILSTONE: KOOKOOCHIAQ
IS AN HOUR'S DRIVE AWAY FROM

THE VILLAGE OF NOORVIK.

AND IT'S PRETTY MUCH
UP AND AROUND THE AREA.

WE'RE JUST GONNA GO SET A NET
AND HOPEFULLY COME BACK WITH

AS MUCH SALMON FISH AS WE CAN.

TING HAILSTONE: KOOKOOCHIAQ,

GOOD TO BE BACK TO KOOKOOCHIAQ.

AGNES HAILSTONE:
YEAH, OH, YAY,

I'M SO GLAD CAMP
IS STILL HERE.

WOW, IT'S ACTUALLY A
LITTLE BIT WARM FROM

THE DAYLIGHT STILL.

IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO COME HERE.

THE LAST TIME WE WERE
HERE, CHIP WAS HERE WITH US.

CHIP HAILSTONE: I'M
BEING TAKEN AWAY, DEAR.

TING HAILSTONE:
NOT NOW, LEAVE ME,

BUT, I MEAN, LIKE, YOU'VE
NEVER LEFT ME THAT LONG.

CHIP HAILSTONE: I'LL BE
BACK HERE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR.

AGNES HAILSTONE: NOW
THAT HE'S ACTUALLY GONE,

WE HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING.

WE NEED FISH.

WE HAVE THE CAMP, MIGHT
AS WELL KEEP DOING WHAT WE

USUALLY DO.

WHETHER YOUR
DAD'S HERE OR NOT,

WE'RE GONNA GO SET
NET AND HOPEFULLY CATCH A

BUNDLE OF FISH.

OKAY, FIRST, THE CINDER BLOCK.

VERY HEAVY.

WHOA.

TING HAILSTONE: AND
PUT THE NET IN THE BOAT,

THEN YOU TRY AND TIE IT TO
THE STUMP OF THIS WILLOW,

SO IT WILL BE TIED DOWN
REAL GOOD ON THE SHORE SIDE.

AGNES HAILSTONE: THIS IS A
VERY GOOD PLACE FOR A NET.

EVERY TIME I SET MY NET
HERE, IT CATCHES SALMON.

WE'RE JUST GONNA GO IN THAT
DIRECTION AND FEED THE NET OUT

AS WE GO, AND WE CAN
ALL JUST GO IN THE BOAT AND

DO THIS TOGETHER.

TING HAILSTONE: OKAY, MOM.

AGNES HAILSTONE: OKAY, WE'RE
GONNA DO THIS ONCE AND WE'RE

GONNA DO IT RIGHT, GIRLS.

TRY NOT TO GET TOO
TANGLED UP, TINMIAQ.

MAN, I CAN SEE YOU JUST
TWISTING IT UP, TINMIAQ.

TING HAILSTONE: I'M
NOT RIPPING IT UP.

AGNES HAILSTONE:
TRY NOT TO MESS THIS.

TING HAILSTONE: IT
TANGLED UP ON ITSELF.

AGNES HAILSTONE: IT'S WORKING?

TING HAILSTONE: IT'S GOOD,
JUST KEEP GOING BACKWARDS.

AGNES HAILSTONE: I
AM GOING BACKWARDS.

LEAD THAT SUCKER OUT AND
MAKE SURE IT'S NOT TANGLED.

THROW IT OUT
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, TING.

TING HAILSTONE: YEE!

AGNES HAILSTONE:
THAT'S A GOOD ANGLE.

MOST FISH COME IN
ALONG THIS EDGE.

WE'LL JUST CALL THAT GOOD
FOR NOW AND TRY TO GO GET BACK

HOME BEFORE IT GET DARK.

YOU GIRLS READY, THEN?

OKAY.

JESSIE HOLMES: I LIVE
IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.

I'M SURROUNDED BY
AMAZING PEOPLE WHO INSPIRE ME.

AND THESE DOGS INSPIRE ME.

[BARKING]

THE SAWMILL DROPPED OFF
OVER HERE ON THIS LANDING,

I'M PLANNING ON PUTTING IT ON.

AND I'VE GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW
TO LOGISTICALLY SET IT ALL UP.

IT'S REALLY HEAVY,
ABOUT 400 POUNDS, SO.

WHAT I GOTTA DO HERE
IS FIGURE OUT WHERE THE

SAWMILL IS GONNA LIVE.

I GOTTA SET IT UP IN AN
EFFICIENT WAY THAT I CAN BRING

LOGS IN, BRING LOGS OUT.

NARRATOR: ALONG
THE NENANA RIVER,

JESSIE HOLMES GATHERS THE
AREA'S RESOURCES TO PROVIDE

FOOD AND SHELTER FOR HIMSELF
AND HIS TEAM OF SLED DOGS.

JESSIE HOLMES:
TWELVE YEARS AGO,

I JUST COME UP TO ALASKA,
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS

GONNA BE LIKE.

I ENVISIONED MYSELF JUST
BACKPACKING AND HIKING AROUND.

YOU KNOW, I HAD THIS VAGUE
DREAM OF BEING A MOUNTAIN MAN,

RIVER MAN, LIVING
OUT IN THE WOODS.

RIGHT AWAY WHEN I GOT HERE,
I STARTED FOLLOWING THAT

KIND OF LIFESTYLE.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS
GENUINE TO MY HEART AND I FELT

PASSIONATE ABOUT.

NARRATOR: TO ESCAPE THE
FINANCIAL SHACKLES OF TOWN,

JESSIE HAS ACQUIRED A SAWMILL,
A KEY PIECE OF MACHINERY FOR

HIM TO BUILD AND
MAINTAIN STRUCTURES USING

HARVESTED LUMBER.

BUT FIRST, HE MUST MOVE THE
HEAVY EQUIPMENT INTO PLACE.

JESSIE HOLMES: THIS RIGHT
NOW IS IN THE WRONG SPOT HERE.

IT NEEDS TO BE DOWN THERE.

MY IDEA IS TO PUT A
ROLLER UNDER THIS,

WHICH IS A LOG THAT'S
ROUND WITH NO LIMBS ON IT,

SO IT CAN SMOOTHLY ROLL.

I'M GONNA PUT ONE
UP HERE, UNDER HERE,

AND ONE BACK HERE, AND I'M
GONNA PULL IT FORWARD ON THE

ROLLERS, AND
HOPEFULLY, I CAN DO IT MYSELF.

BUT IF I NEED TO, I GOT A
FEW BIG DOGS OVER HERE THAT

LISTEN TO ME WELL.

I CAN USE THEM TO PULL IT.

I'M GONNA NEED THE CHAINSAW.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO
CUT SOME ROLLERS.

IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO
GET THE DOGS OR HARDER

TO GET THE DOGS.

WITHOUT HAVING TO.

I MIGHT NOT HAVE IT IN ME

[GRUNTS]

WELL, IT'S GOING,
SLOWLY BUT SURELY.

SOMETIMES, THAT'S
ALL YOU CAN ASK FOR,

TAKE EVERY INCH YOU CAN GET
CLOSER TO THE DESTINATION.

YOU JUST GOTTA FIGURE OUT A
SMART WAY TO DO 'EM AND THESE

ROLLERS IS WHAT I GOT TO.

WAY AROUND EVERY CHALLENGE
IN ALASKA IF YOU HAVE

A FEW SIMPLE TOOLS.

I DON'T WANT THIS THING TO
HAVE TO BE MOVED LATER ON

BECAUSE IT'S A BIG
PROCESS TO TAKE IT APART AND

PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.

IT'S CALLED A
PORTABLE SAWMILL,

BUT IT'S NOT THAT PORTABLE.

IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN
DO WITH A SIMPLE TOOL LIKE

A LOG, I GUESS.

I'M GLAD I DIDN'T DECIDE TO
USE THE DOGS FOR THIS BECAUSE

THEY'D HAVE WENT A LITTLE TOO
FAST FOR ME AND THEY MIGHT'VE

WRECKED THIS THING.

THIS SAWMILL MAKES ME
INDEPENDENT OF TOWN.

I DON'T NEED THE
LUMBER FROM TOWN.

LUMBER IS EXPENSIVE
UP HERE IN ALASKA.

I HAVE ALL THIS RAW
RESOURCE AROUND ME THAT I CAN

TURN INTO LUMBER.

NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I
CAN BUILD MYSELF A NICE

TWO-STORY CABIN.

I CAN MOVE RIGHT ON
INTO MY NEXT PROCESS,

OF SETTING UP
THIS RAIL SYSTEM.

I'VE NEVER PUT TOGETHER
A SAWMILL OR USED ONE.

I'VE SEEN 'EM IN
THE OPERATION,

BUT I'VE BEEN IN
THE WOODS LOGGING,

BUILDING HOUSES.

I PRETTY MUCH BUILT MY LIFE
AROUND BEING ABLE TO USE WOOD,

SO IT'S ONLY NATURAL
THAT THIS IS THE NEXT STEP.

NOW, I'M GETTING THIS
CLOSER TO WHERE IT'S GONNA BE.

I NEED TO LEVEL UP SOME
PLATFORMS FOR IT TO GO ONTO.

THEN, THERE'S GONNA
BE A LOT OF TWEAKING,

AND LEVELING, AND SQUARING TO
MAKE SURE THIS THING GOES ALL

TOGETHER, OTHERWISE, THIS MILL
WILL NOT RUN SMOOTHLY ON THIS.

ONE STEP DOWN, ABOUT FIFTEEN
MORE TO GO BEFORE THIS THING'S

GONNA BE CUTTING UP SOME WOOD.

THEY HAVE SHARP TEETH.

SALMON, A SPAWNED OUT SALMON.

OH, THEY'RE WHITEFISH!

TING HAILSTONE:
WOW, WHITEFISH!

QUTAN HAILSTONE: WHITEFISH?

YES.

TING HAILSTONE: ALIVE!

QUTAN HAILSTONE:
CAN I HAVE SOME,

CAN I HAVE STOMACHS, MOM?

AGNES HAILSTONE: YEP.

TING HAILSTONE: YES,
WE'LL GIVE YOU THE STOMACHS.

AGNES HAILSTONE: WHITEFISH,
FRESH WHITEFISH, PERFECT.

THAT'S, THAT'S
WHAT'S FOR DINNER.

GO TAKE CARE OF THESE
FISH, AND COOK SOME UP,

AND SPEND THE NIGHT
HERE AT KOOKOOCHIAQ CAMP.

LOOK, WE MISSED ONE.

IT'S ANOTHER FISH.

TING HAILSTONE: WOW!

AGNES HAILSTONE: YAY.

TING HAILSTONE: NOW
THAT THE NET IS PULLED,

WE CAN GO WARM UP
AND MUNCH, HUH?

AGNES HAILSTONE: YEP,
WE'RE HAVING FISH FOR DINNER.

TING HAILSTONE: YUM.

GLENN VILLENEUVE: THERE ARE
PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO WORRY

ABOUT THEIR FOOD.

I DON'T BECAUSE I KNOW
HOW TO GET IT IF I NEED IT.

MY GOAL FOR TONIGHT IS TO
GET THIS MOOSE ALL CUT UP INTO

PIECES THAT I CAN MOVE.

NARRATOR: GLENN HAS
SUCCESSFULLY HARVESTED A MOOSE,

WHICH WILL PROVIDE HIM
WITH SIX MONTHS OF FOOD TO

SURVIVE THE WINTER AHEAD.

BUT IN THE BROOKS RANGE,
AN ADULT BULL MOOSE CAN WEIGH

MORE THAN 1,400 POUNDS
AND PROCESSING THE MOOSE IS

CRITICAL TO HIS ABILITY TO
HAUL THE MEAT BACK TO CAMP.

GLENN VILLENEUVE:
WHEN YOU TAKE HIM APART,

IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW
HOW THEY'RE PUT TOGETHER.

I REMEMBER THE FIRST
TIME I WAS OUT HERE,

I HAD A LITTLE BOOKLET ON
HOW TO BUTCHER MOOSE THAT

I USED TO READ A LOT.

AND AS MOOSE
SEASON WAS APPROACHING,

I HAD IT PRETTY
WELL MEMORIZED.

IT HAD SOME GOOD IDEAS IN IT.

BUT OVER THE YEARS, I'VE
REFINED MY TECHNIQUES.

SOMETIMES I'LL GUT 'EM FIRST.

SOMETIMES I LEAVE THE SKIN ON
IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE MEAT.

IT ALL DEPENDS
ON THE SITUATION.

I TAILOR MY APPROACH TO
WHATEVER CIRCUMSTANCES I'M IN.

BEST IS, YOU SHOOT 'EM ONE
TIME RIGHT BETWEEN TWO RIBS,

HARDLY WASTE ANY MEAT AT ALL.

A LEG LIKE THIS, THAT
MIGHT LAST FOR A FEW WEEKS.

SO I MIGHT BRING
IT IN THE CABIN,

HANG IT UP FOR A
COUPLE OF DAYS.

THAW OUT, SKIN IT, CUT IT
UP INTO SMALLER PIECES.

THEN I GOT ALL MY STEAKS AND
MY ROASTS AND EVERYTHING FOR

THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
IN SMALL PIECES.

TO GET YOUR MEAT THIS
WAY, IT'S SATISFYING.

JUST TO COME OUT
HERE WITH A RIFLE,

AND A FEW TOOLS IN YOUR PACK,
AND TAKE DOWN A BIG MOOSE LIKE

THIS, PROCESS IT
ALL BY YOURSELF,

GET IT BACK HOME,
GET IT PRESERVED,

PROTECT IT FROM THE
BEARS AND THE SCAVENGERS,

IT'S A GOOD FEELING.

I'M JUST WORKING ON GETTING
THINGS OUT WITHOUT MESSING

ANYTHING UP, LIKE THE
TENDERLOINS ARE RIGHT HERE.

I WANT THOSE IN ONE NICE
PIECE WITHOUT ANY CUTS IN 'EM,

SO I GOT TO BE CAREFUL.

YOU CAN'T STICK A KNIFE DOWN
IN THERE IN A LOT OF PLACES.

YOU'LL HAVE URINE OR MOOSE
FECES ALL OVER YOUR MEAT.

IT'S GETTING LATE,
IT'S GETTING DARK.

IT'S TIME TO GET
MY HEADLAMP OUT.

I CAN FEEL THE HEART.

AT SOME POINT, IT WILL GET
DISCONNECTED ENOUGH THAT I CAN

PULL THE LUNGS AND
THE HEART ALL OUT.

[HOWLING]

BUNCH OF BLOOD COMING OUT.

AWESOME, I'VE GOT
THE GUTS, THE LUNGS, THERE.

THAT'S ALL OUT, THAT'S GOOD.

THAT'S A BIG STEP IN
PRESERVING THE MEAT.

LOOK AT THAT, MOOSE TONGUE.

VERY GOOD FOOD.

THAT IS GONNA BE DELICIOUS.

THERE'S NOTHING
LIKE A MOOSE TONGUE.

BOIL THAT UP FOR A FEW HOURS,
TASTY FOOD RIGHT THERE.

IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.

IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

I'VE BEEN UP SINCE
ABOUT 4:00 THIS MORNING.

I WALKED ABOUT SEVEN MILES
BEFORE I PULLED THE TRIGGER

AND SHOT THIS MOOSE,
SO AT THIS POINT,

I GOTTA CALL IT A
NIGHT, I GOTTA HEAD HOME,

AND I GOTTA GET BACK
OVER HERE AS SOON AS I CAN.

FIRST LIGHT IN THE MORNING
WOULD BE THE BEST TIME.

IF I CAN GET BACK
OVER HERE EARLY,

GET TO THIS MEAT BEFORE
ANYTHING ELSE FINDS IT,

THAT'LL BE GREAT.

I GOT A SMALL LOAD THAT I
CAN CARRY TONIGHT IN MY PACK.

TOMORROW, I CAN COME
AND GET THE REST OF IT.

JESSIE HOLMES: I'M VERY
SENSITIVE TO ANIMALS.

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED
AND CARED FOR ANIMALS.

EVEN WILD ANIMALS
THAT I HUNT AND KILL,

IT KINDA HURTS ME SOMETIMES
TO SEE AN ANIMAL SUFFER.

♪ ♪

ALL RIGHT, I GOT THIS
MOTOR ON HERE AND THE BLADE.

THIS THING'S READY TO GO.

NOW ALL I NEED IS SOME
TREES TO GET IN HERE,

SO I CAN START PRODUCING
SOME LUMBER AND MAKE THIS

THING START
PAYING ITSELF OFF.

IT'S NOT A CHEAP
PIECE OF MACHINERY.

IT'S GOTTA PRODUCE, JUST LIKE
EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND HERE.

FIRST OFF, I'M GONNA HAVE TO
CLEAR MYSELF A NICE PATH SO I

CAN GET THE LOGS THROUGH HERE.

THIS IS HERE ON THE
GROUND, IT'S READY TO GO.

IT JUST NEEDS A
LITTLE BIT OF CLEANING UP.

THIS IS PRETTY
NICE RIGHT HERE.

I CAN GET SOME NICE
BOARDS OUT OF THIS.

ONE THING YOU WANNA DO
WHENEVER YOU'RE MILLING UP

TIMBERS, YOU DON'T
WANNA MILL UP WONKY,

SWOLLEN PIECES LIKE
THIS ON THE BUTT,

BUT THIS'LL MAKE
SOME FINE FIREWOOD.

ALL RIGHT, I GOT MY
PATHWAY CLEARED INTO HERE.

DIRECT LINE TO THE SAWMILL.

NICE TRAIL
COMING THROUGH HERE.

I'LL BE ABLE TO GET
DOGS THROUGH HERE,

ACCESS DEEPER INTO THE FOREST.

THIS TREE RIGHT HERE IS RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF WHERE I WANNA

PUT MY PATHWAY
THROUGH TO HAUL LOGS IN.

THIS IS JUST ABOUT HOW
BIG I WANT TREES 'CAUSE THEN

I CAN MAKE GOOD,
SOLID, WIDE, THICK LUMBER.

I COULD BE BUSY FOR A
COUPLE DAYS MILLING THIS UP.

THERE'S A LOT OF
LUMBER IN THIS TREE.

I WANT THIS TREE TO FALL
PERFECT RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF

THIS PATHWAY, SO I HAVE NO
OBSTRUCTIONS TO DRAG IT RIGHT

INTO THE MIDDLE TO
WHERE I CAN USE IT.

IF IT GOES OFF TO
THE SIDE OVER THERE,

OR OVER TO THE SIDE HERE
AND GETS TANGLED UP IN THESE

TREES, I'M GONNA HAVE A
BIG MESS ON MY HANDS,

SO I'M GONNA USE A WEDGE,
MAKE SURE THIS THING GOES

RIGHT WHERE I WANT TO.

I'M PRETTY GOOD
AT CUTTING TREES,

FALLING TREES WHERE I WANT TO,
BUT I'M GONNA TAKE EVERY STEP

I CAN TO ENSURE I DON'T
CREATE MORE WORK FOR MYSELF.

WIND'S BLOWING THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION OF WHERE I WANT THE

TREE TO GO, SO IT'S A
GOOD THING I GOT A WEDGE.

WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO TRY
TO DROP THIS THING WITHOUT A

WEDGE 'CAUSE I NEED IT TO
BE ACCURATE WHERE IT GOES.

JESSIE HOLMES: SUCCESS.

NOW, I GOTTA GET THIS
THING ALL PROCESSED UP.

THE POINT OF LIVING
OUT HERE IS TO MAXIMIZE ON

ALL THESE RESOURCES.

THE FISH, THE GAME,
WOOD, WATER.

AND THAT'S WHY I
CHOOSE TO LIVE OUT HERE,

IS I DON'T WANNA LIVE OUT
HERE AND HAVE TO GO TO TOWN

TO GET THE STUFF.

I'D JUST LIVE IN TOWN THEN.

I GOTTA GET THIS
TO THE SAWMILL AND

START MILLING IT UP.

LOG NUMBER ONE HERE.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
THIS THING RUN.

YEAH.

♪ ♪

THIS IS LOOKING AWESOME.

NICE AND SMOOTH.

EVERYTHING'S
CUTTING AND RUNNING GOOD.

I TAKE THIS FIRST SLAB OFF,

NOW I CAN START
MAKING SOME BOARDS.

BOARDS MEAN I
CAN BUILD THINGS.

THIS IS FREAKING
AWESOME FOR ME.

THIS IS A HUGE WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY TO WHERE I CAN GO

INTO BUSINESS FOR MYSELF.

I CAN BUILD CAN'T STOP KENNELS
TO WHAT IT'S COMING TO.

BACK WHENEVER I STARTED HERE,

I HAD NOTHING
WHEN I COME TO NENANA.

NOW I GOT A GREAT
DOG TEAM, SAWMILL,

AWESOME KENNEL.

THIS IS GONNA HELP ME TO
GROW AND EXPAND AROUND HERE,

AND REACH MY FULL POTENTIAL.

ALL RIGHT, MAN, THIS THING
MAKES SOME NICE SOLID BOARDS

AND TIMBERS.

I GOT A GOOD PILE FROM JUST
A LITTLE BIT OF WORK HERE.

NO MORE GOING TO THE
LUMBER STORE FOR ME.

THIS IS A PROJECT
THAT JUST HAD TO HAPPEN.

NOW, THIS PLACE IS GONNA
REALLY BE GROWING NEXT YEAR.

SAWMILL, CHECK.

SUE AIKENS: NATURE
DOESN'T MAKE IT EASY,

IT JUST MAKES IT WORTHWHILE.

TIME FOR ME TO GO ON A LITTLE
SCOUT BEFORE THE DAY IS DONE.

NARRATOR: HAVING HEARD
WOLF HOWLS THIS MORNING,

IT'S CRUCIAL FOR SUE TO SCOUT
HER SURROUNDINGS IN THE REFUGE

FOR ANY THREATS
BEFORE NIGHTFALL.

SUE AIKENS: ALONG WITH
THE TEMPERATURES DROPPING,

THE DARK IS ON ITS HEELS.

AND THERE'S WOLVES HERE.

THEY'RE NOT PETS.

I AM A SCOOBY SNACK NOW
FOR ANYTHING WALKING AROUND.

I'M NOT AFRAID OF IT, BUT GOSH
DARN I'M GONNA RESPECT IT.

SURE ENOUGH,
THIS IS WOLF TRACK.

FRESH WOLF TRACK.

I'M GONNA SAY HE'S GOING
THIS DIRECTION BECAUSE I THINK

I SEE A COUPLE OF
NAIL MARKS THERE.

JUST LIKE ME, A LITTLE
LONE WOLF ON THE TUNDRA.

WHERE ARE YOU
GOING, LITTLE BUDDY?

THEY'RE TOP PREDATORS, SO
HOW DO YOU TURN A FAT CHICK

WITH A RIFLE INTO HAVING LESS
OF AN ADVANTAGE?

NUMBER ONE, TRY
TO GET HER TO RUN.

BUT NUMBER TWO,
SIMPLY OUTWAIT ME.

NATURE ITSELF IS GONNA GIVE
THAT ANIMAL THE ADVANTAGE

REALLY QUICK.

FOG COMING IN, DARK COMING
ON, COLDER TEMPERATURES,

AND I'VE GOT TWO
LEGS AND I'M CHUNKY.

AND THAT ANIMAL HAS GOT
FOUR PAWS AND DETERMINATION,

AND HAS A BEAK THAT CAN
SMELL LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS,

SO GAME ON, LITTLE DUDE.

FOLLOWING HIS TRAIL
AND THEN IT'S LIKE POOF!

LOOK WHAT HE DID.

HE HAS BEEN HANGING OUT HERE,

JUST WATCHING
CAMP GOING, COOL.

OKAY, I SEE
YOUR HABITS, MAN.

WHAT A NICE LITTLE LAIR.

HE'S GOT IT ALL
CUBBIED OUT ON BOTH SIDES.

THIS IS A GREAT,
GREAT HIDEOUT.

BUT NOW THAT I KNOW IT EXISTS,
A LITTLE BIT WISER.

[DISTANT HOWL]

RIGHT OVER THERE.

I BETTER TURN THIS OFF.

THERE HE IS!

OH MY GOD!

AND HE ALMOST LOOKS
LIKE A BIG OLE PUMA.

WELL, HE'S DEFINITELY
GOING FOR HIGHER GROUND NOW.

[SUE HOWLS]

[WOLVES HOWL]

OH (BLEEP),
THERE'S MORE THAN ONE.

HOW COOL IS THAT?

AS COOL AS IT IS THAT
I'M ABLE TO HOWL AND THEY'RE

HOWLING BACK, THE
TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS,

IS IT'S GETTING PRETTY
DARK AND IT'S GONNA GET A LOT

DARKER REALLY FAST.

I CAN'T FORGET THESE ARE WILD.

THESE AREN'T MY LITTLE TAME
DUDES AROUND KAVIK THAT GO,

YEAH, YOU KNOW?

SHE DOES THIS, SHE DOES THAT.

UH-UH, THESE ARE
THE APEX DUDES.

IT COULD BE A PLOY TO
KEEP ME OUT LATE ENOUGH TO

CHEW MY BUTT.

I DON'T NEED THAT.

I NEED TO NOT BE A PORK
CHOP AND I NEED TO GET HOME.

THIS IS SOMETHING I'M
GONNA TAKE WITH ME FOREVER.

I'M AN EXPLORER.

I LIKE TO SEE WHAT'S
OVER THE NEXT HILL.

THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

THIS IS WHY I DO IT.

GLENN VILLENEUVE: IF YOU'RE
LIVING OUT HERE AND YOU'RE

CONFIDENT IN YOUR SKILLS,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.

I'LL LEAVE MY
CANOE RIGHT HERE.

THE MOOSE IS UP
THIS WAY IN THE WOODS.

I'LL USE MY SLED, TRANSPORT
SEVERAL LOADS OF MEAT DOWN

HERE TO THE SHORELINE.

THEN I CAN USE THE CANOE TO
TAKE IT ALL BACK TO CAMP.

BIG THING ON MY MIND IS BEARS.

I DEFINITELY WANT MY
GUN LOADED AND READY,

AND I JUST SCOPE IT
OUT FROM A DISTANCE.

I TRY TO LOOK AHEAD
AS FAR AS I CAN SEE,

SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

I DON'T WANNA GET A
SURPRISE UP THERE.

DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
ANYTHING'S BEEN AROUND,

THAT'S GOOD.

NOTHING FOUND THE MEAT YET.

LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING'S
HERE JUST LIKE I LEFT IT.

THAT'S GOOD.

THE MEAT'S ALL HERE.

NOTHING FOUND IT YET.

BUT IT IS JUST A
MATTER OF TIME.

A BEAR WILL FIND
THIS KILL SITE.

I'VE GOTTA TRANSPORT ALL
THIS MEAT BACK TO MY CAMP

AS SOON AS I CAN.

BECAUSE INEVITABLY,
GIVEN ENOUGH TIME,

A BEAR WILL FIND IT.

IT'S A PRECISE OPERATION,
BUTCHERING A MOOSE.

PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU
JUST DO WITH ONE KNIFE.

YOU GOTTA
UNDERSTAND THE ANATOMY.

YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND
HOW IT ALL GOES TOGETHER IF

YOU WANNA TAKE IT APART.

THERE, GOT MY RIBS;
GOT MY MOOSE ALL CUT UP.

IT'S IN PIECES THAT ARE A SIZE
I CAN PUT IN THE SLED NOW.

I'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE EACH OF
THESE LOADS DOWN TO THE LAKE,

GET 'EM TO MY CANOE, AND
THEN PADDLE HOME WITH IT.

TAKING DOWN THE PELVIS FIRST.

IT'S GOT THE
TENDERLOINS ON IT,

THE BACKSTRAP.

I DON'T WANT THOSE
TENDERLOINS GOING TO A GRIZZLY.

THERE.

WHEN I'M PICKING
WHICH LOAD TO TAKE,

I TAKE THE BEST MEAT FIRST.

THERE.

BECAUSE IF A BEAR COMES
ALONG AND MESSES UP THIS MEAT,

I WANNA HAVE THE BEST
MEAT WITH ME FOR BACK HOME.

OKAY, GOT THE MEAT
ALL LOADED IN THE CANOE.

TIME TO HEAD BACK TO CAMP.

OH, IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME.

IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY,
BUT I GOT MY MOOSE MEAT.

MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS TO KEEP THIS MEAT

COOL, CLEAN, DRY.

BY PUTTING IT ON THIS
RACK, IT'LL STAY CLEAN.

THIS IS MY LOW MEAT RACK.

RIGHT NOW TONIGHT, ALL
I CAN DO IS PUT IT HERE.

IF A BEAR COMES AROUND, I'LL
BE ABLE TO SEE IT RIGHT OUT

THE WINDOW.

I'VE GOT A HIGH MEAT POLE.

I'VE GOT A PLATFORM CACHE.

LATER, I'LL HANG IT UP HIGHER
TO PROTECT IT FROM SCAVENGERS.

IT'S NICE TO UTILIZE RESOURCES
FROM RIGHT NEAR WHERE YOU LIVE

TO GET THE BASIC
THINGS YOU NEED.

THAT'S WHAT
SUBSISTENCE IS ABOUT,

GETTING THE RESOURCES THAT
YOU NEED TO SUBSIST RIGHT OFF

OF THE LOCAL LAND
AROUND WHERE YOU LIVE.

AH, THAT IS SUCH A GOOD
FEELING TO GET ALL THAT MEAT

OVER HERE SAFE AND SOUND.

IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.

LOT OF WORK, BUT I GOT A
LOT OF FOOD RIGHT HERE.

THAT'S GONNA BE GOOD EATING.

I'M GONNA CALL IT A NIGHT.

AGNES HAILSTONE: WE'RE
JUST ABOUT CAPABLE OF DOING

ANYTHING TOGETHER.

I WAS JUST GONNA TAKE
THE HEAD AND THE TAIL OFF.

TING HAILSTONE: FIRST
WHITEFISH BEFORE IT FREEZES UP.

AGNES HAILSTONE:
THE HEAD AND THE TAIL.

TING HAILSTONE: IT'S
GOOD TO HAVE A NICE,

HOT MEAL AFTER
TRAVELING IN COLD,

AND THEN CHECKING A NET, UH?

AGNES HAILSTONE: YEAH,

QUTAN HAILSTONE:

QUTAN HAILSTONE: UH-HMM.

TING HAILSTONE: HOW COME,

QUTAN HAILSTONE:
UH-HMM, UH-HMM.

AGNES HAILSTONE: WE GOT LOTS
OF STUFF TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

WE HAVE ENOUGH MEAT
WITH ALL THAT CARIBOU, UH?

WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A
GOOD START AT WINTER.

WE HAVE ENOUGH FISH.

NOW WE JUST GOTTA GO
HUNKER DOWN AND WAIT FOR

IT TO FREEZE.

TING HAILSTONE: AND DAD AND
THE GIRLS WILL BE HERE NEXT

TIME WE COME HERE, UH?

AGNES HAILSTONE:
YUP, THAT WOULD BE FUN.
