[Margot] If you want
to live this lifestyle

here in the north, you have to be
able to hunt, to trap, to fish.

Oh, yeah, I got a fish!

[Margot] You can make
your own clothes,

you can eat, you can do
everything if you have the skills.

[Gilbert] Tradition is an
extremely important thing.

- [gunshot]
- Bullseye!

And being on the
land is tradition.

[upbeat music playing]

Living off grid, you
have to find ways

to make your life
easier all the time.

This is like I'm
making moonshine.

[laughs]

[Matty] Just to live in a place
where I can walk out my front door

and just build a bed, that
brings me great, great happiness.

[Margot] This is
the life I want.

When in doubt, more chainsaw.

[drill whirring]

Nothing is easy
in this world. Oh!

It's not breaking and entering
if it's your own house.

Do you think this is going
to be a really nice home?

[kids] Yeah.

Really is a dream come
true. I always wanted this.

[theme music playing]

[soft music playing]

[Matty] Newfoundland's island
is in the North Atlantic.

This place gets beaten by wind and
snow, especially this time of year.

Nothing better than being up at
the cabin for a proper snow storm.

Just getting snowed in
and it is wonderful.

When a big storm hits,

sometimes the best thing
to do is just stay inside.

In this case, we'll stay
inside and just get to work.

Come, Ron. [smacks lips]

Good.

Oh, little snow dog.

Little snow dog.

Oh, yeah.

This is really the day I've
been looking forward to.

All that work of finishing that
addition, getting that all closed in,

now it's finally time to blow
a hole in the existing wall

and be able to access all that new
space, which is really exciting.

[rhythmic music playing]

Gotta get all this
clutter out of here.

This place looks like
my grandmother's house.

All this shit. I
never use any of this.

Couple of metal wine glasses,
never been used once.

Even all the way up here, you
still acquire lots of clutter.

Get this ugly old
thing out of here.

Right now, the new addition
is completely cut off.

The only way in is
through his window.

I really don't want to crack
one of these old girls.

This window's getting
reused for the new addition.

You're not throwing
stuff away up here.

So much easier to reuse up here
than it is to bring in new stuff.

[sighs] No hardware
store around here.

I'm ready to pop the window out.

[intriguing music playing]

It's not breaking and entering
if it's your own house.

[grunts]

That's a good-looking view.

[wind blowing]

Ready for the window.

[hammer banging]

[sighs]

Judas Priest, that's
got some weight to it.

That's a good fit.

Hell yeah, boyo.

[grunts]

Hey, Ron.

Ronnie thinks it's
a serving window.

You're ready to order?
What would you like, sir?

Two-piece fish and chips?

Next thing we gotta do
is create a doorway,

to walk from the old cabin
into the new addition.

This is a part you don't want to mess
up, cutting a hole in your cabin.

Once you cut it,
ain't no going back.

When in doubt, more chainsaw.

[chainsaw buzzing]

[rhythmic music playing]

Just like that.

What do you think, Ron?
Come on. Come check it out.

[upbeat music playing]

Come in.

You can finally come in, Ron.

Got a real bedroom now.

So good to sleep in here.

It's been a lot of work, but
it's starting to pay off.

[wind blowing]

[soft music playing]

[Margot] This is the first full
winter that I'm trapping on my own.

I have to just be careful.

I know that things can go
wrong and I'm not invincible.

Of course, like you have to be
aware of wildlife, you're not alone.

You can be a predator,
but you can also be prey.

You have to know that you're
just part of the chain.

It's very humbling.

This wolf was hanging
around my camp.

It was really interested
in us, in Cade and I.

I saw his tracks and two
of the friends he was with

following everywhere
we would go.

Getting closer and
closer every day.

[tense music playing]

One day, he came really close.

He just kept walking towards
me, so I had to shoot it.

It's a nice wolf, so I'm going to
take care of the pelt for sure.

He's probably around
80, 90 pounds.

It's a big wolf.

[soft music playing]

[sighs]

This wolf right now
is frozen solid.

So, I'm just going to put it in
the cache so it's safe from mice

and stuff that would chew it.

And I'm going to take
it down in a couple days

and thaw it and skin
it in the cabin.

Now that I have the wolf in the cache,
I'm going to go out in the bush,

keep opening a trail
and check some snares.

It's a trapping day.

[tense music playing]

I like to go trapping on skis

because it's a little
faster than snowshoes.

There's about four and
a half feet of snow.

So, it makes it a little more
difficult to travel around here.

It's a hard workout for sure.

[rhythmic music playing]

A trap line like this consists
of having different trails

to trap different species.

I'm going to go check my
marten traps and set some more.

That's pretty fresh marten
tracks, and they're all over here,

so I think it's a good
spot to set up a set here.

Trapping allows me to
be self-sufficient.

It's very rewarding.

I'm gonna wire some bait on
my cone, set up the trap.

All my stuff is rotten
and stinky and greasy,

so I'm wearing my bait gloves.

This is beaver, so
it's not the worst.

Beaver doesn't smell too, too bad,
but it's still pretty rotten, so...

My bait is wired
inside the cone.

So, when they climb up the
tree and they look inside,

they can see the bait.

It's why there is a cross,

so my trap is set on the cross
and the cone is above it.

So, no birds can come
and grab the bait.

There is no snow on the trap.

And it works pretty good.

[intriguing music playing]

Well, now I have my
safeties, fortunately.

That's when the
trigger can pop you.

Just handling these
kinds of traps,

you have to be always careful
to not make a mistake.

This one is so sensitive.

As soon as the safeties are off,

I have to be careful to not
put my fingers in there.

It sure hurts.

Now, it's all set.

Safeties are off.

It's going to come up the tree, and
as soon as it touches the trigger,

the springs are released
and it closes on them.

It's a way to kill the animal right away,
behind the neck, so there is no suffering.

I always had good catch with it,

so, hopefully, I'll catch
something on this one.

[soft music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

[Emilie] Right now, we're taking a break
from the construction on our new cabin.

We're coming out here to
hopefully get some fresh fish.

Where we live is so far north,
almost all of our fresh food

comes from hunting or fishing,

and in the winter, that
can be challenging.

- [Gilbert] I'm gonna put some holes here.
- [Emilie] Okay.

All the way up to
that leaning tree.

[Emilie] It's not
an option to fail.

You really can't survive on
just dry goods or canned food.

If you want to make a life here,

you need to be able to
harvest food from the land.

We're on a river and we're
pretty close to the cabin,

so this is like a good spot when
we need something right away.

We usually come here by boat.

I've never fished here on the ice,
though, this is going to be a first.

[drill whirring]

[rhythmic music playing]

[Emilie] Oh, yeah!

He'll probably make
close to 10 holes.

He just loves it.

[drill whirring]

[Gilbert] This is the old
school ice fishing rod.

You can pull up like a 50 pounder
with this stick and a line.

Simple and it works.

Now, I just need a
little secret weapon.

Secret weapon is bacon.

Fish have noses.

Sometimes, they smell
before they bite.

[soft music playing]

It's very relaxing when you
go fishing, it's a nice reset.

It feels good to be out on the land
and breathing in this fresh air.

I enjoy it.

So, now, we wait.

[throat song playing]

Sometimes, you'll
get fish after fish.

Other times, you just
get nothing at all.

Nikik, you're scaring
the fish away.

Why is nothing biting?

[Gilbert] Maybe we're too
early, but maybe two more weeks,

there'll be more fish
for this type of fishing.

It would be nice even
if we get one; at least,

you know, we're not
leaving empty-handed.

Maybe I'll try bacon.

[soft music playing]

[Billy] Since I left
the cabin ten years ago,

the place has been abandoned.

So, the last month, I've been
working mostly around the cabin.

For instance, the chimney,
the woodshed, the bridge.

But now I just want to make
it more homey, comfortable,

to make this a
place I want to be.

Living off grid, you
have to find ways

to make your life
easier all the time.

Yes, sometimes, it's hard.

For instance, my cabin is a
dry cabin, no running water.

I've got to get to the
river to get my water

and to warm it up
on the woodstove.

So, I would like to
have a hot water system

using the heat coming
from the woodstove.

So, this is my goal.

The main component of the water system,
to make it hot, it's copper pipe.

Gonna use the log inside
the chimney piece...

to roll the copper
pipe around this pipe.

Oh, this is exciting.

[grunting]

Yeah. Shit.

I don't like it.

It's no good when
it's pinchy like this.

The goal here is to
get water through it.

It needs to be wide, flat,
round, without any pinches here.

[tense music playing]

Right now, you know, just trying to
figure out a different way to do it.

Okay.

[grunting]

Ah!

Very close.

[grunts]

[chuckles]

I like it, I like it.

It looks better. Okay.

[grunting]

Oh, man, now we're talking!

It looks good to me.

This is exactly
what I had in mind.

But is it working
as a water system?

That's another question.

[suspenseful music playing]

Let's make it fit.

Okay.

[grunts]

[grunts]

The pipe coming out
of the wood stove,

it doesn't exist anymore,
this kind of pipe.

It's oval, it's not round,

compared to the new pipe,
it's brand new, it's round.

So, I really needed to get
it crimped a little bit more.

[grunts]

In order to fit it.

It's so stiff.

[grunting]

Okay, come on!

[grunting]

[sighs] Okay.

That's the thing, you
know, using old stove,

to make modern material fit,
you've got to improvise.

And a lot of muscle.

[grunting] Almost!

Ah!

Almost... oh!

[groaning]

Two millimetres.

My head is just
spinning. Whew!

[grunting]

Oh!

Come on, big guy! One
millimetre, one millimetre!

[grunting]

Yeah! [laughs]

Whoo hoo! Oh, man.

Oh yeah. [laughs]

[sighs]

That's never coming off again.

[laughs]

Oh, man.

And now, so happy
and mostly relieved.

So now, let's connect
it on the water system.

[intriguing music playing]

[Margot] For me, the bush is
just this very primal experience

where you are back
to the very basics.

[Emilie] Here, your priority
is your basic needs.

Putting a roof over your head.

Heating your home.

Having food on the table.

And everything else kind
of comes afterwards.

[Matty] This is where I'm
comfortable, this is what I like.

Just trying to survive.

Trying to survive is much more
fulfilling than just being.

[upbeat music playing]

How you making out, Ron,
you all right over here?

He's excited for his new space.

Two-bedroom house, one
for you, one for me.

If you want to live up in a cabin
like this year-round, winter time,

you need good insulation.

Without insulation up here, it would
just be a bunch of cold wooden walls.

This is the first stud
for the partition wall,

to separate the two bedrooms.

Over here, this will be the
main bedroom, where I'll sleep.

And over here we'll
put a couple bunk beds.

Feels like a real house.

When I look back into the old cabin,
wow, look how far away the door is now.

So much space.

[soft music playing]

We're working on pine,
which is a pretty big deal.

Great thing about pine is you
don't need to paint it or stain it,

you just put it up and just that
raw wood look, I really love it.

Oh, yeah. Looks good.

The only thing that could make
this bedroom any better is a bed.

Last thing I want to do
is have to go to town

and try and drag a bed
up over this trail.

Much easier and
much more enjoyable

just to whip up a nice
little bush log bed.

I need one, one decent sized log

that I can get maybe
10, 12 feet out of.

It's time to make furniture.

[chainsaw buzzing]

[rhythmic music playing]

It means a lot to
me, this place.

I've been coming up to these woods,
this lake, since I was nine years old.

So, I feel very, very much
like a young boy again,

coming back here and going
through the same woods.

It's a very good feeling.

Building in the bush like this,

just a whole different
type of freedom.

As long as it
works, no one cares.

And there's no one
here to see it.

All right, little
girl, ready to sing?

You can make a masterpiece, or you
can literally duct tape it together.

If you can dream it up and you're
willing to do the work, you can build it.

I really want to lay it
out and see how it looks.

Just so I can visualize it.

[upbeat music playing]

Headboard.

Footboard.

It's actually looking good, boy.

Putting these posts up
and these beams in place

really feels like
a bed to me now.

It's gonna be beautiful.

I'm not sure what is about it,

but as soon as I take a log
or tree and peel the bark off,

having this nice, smooth
fresh log underneath,

it just looks so damn good.

It's not supposed to be perfect.

Their real beauty comes
from their imperfections.

Little bit of a bow
in the centre, but,

I mean, you won't notice
that when you're sleeping.

[chuckles]

[rhythmic music playing]

Yeah, I'm not, I'm not
going to keep fishing here.

There's really no point.

Hopefully, closer to the
evening, we'll get fish.

So, I think for now we're
going to try a little bit

of target shooting practice.

When I was 12, I learned
how to use a rifle,

but it's been a long time.

I officially got my gun license,
so now, I can carry a gun around.

And that's going to be really
important for my family,

because I can carry
a gun to protect us.

Because out here, you never
know what's going to come.

Could be bears.

Wolves.

Which is definitely
a reality up here.

[soft country music playing]

The more I practice, the better I'll
be, for when the situation does come.

Let's put these.

For Emilie, it's been a while, so
she's just going to have to practice.

Sometimes, I'm a little competitive, so
I'm looking forward to trying it out,

and I'm sure it'll come back.

All right.

Targets are up.

- [Emilie] That's really far.
- [Gilbert] Yeah.

Nikik!

- You're good?
- Yeah.

So, what am I shooting at?

[Gilbert] Aim for the cans.

[rhythmic music playing]

Would help if I take the
safety off. Oh, yeah.

[gunshot]

- [Gilbert] Bullseye!
- [Emilie] Great.

All right, do it again.

[gunshots]

Oh, yeah. You got it again.

- [gunshot]
- [Emilie] Nice.

[chuckles]

Still got it.

Okay, I think
that's good for now.

I'll do two rounds.

[suspenseful music playing]

[gunshot]

- [Emilie] You didn't get it.
- [Gilbert] Oh, no.

All right, one more.

[gunshot]

Ooh! The wind got it.

Yeah.

This is a lever action 30/30.

This thing is for bigger game,

like moose, caribou,
polar bear, and wolves.

I'm gonna aim for the box.

[gunshot]

[rhythmic music playing]

[gunshots]

Goodness.

[grunts]

Shot right here.

Close to the bullseye.

And then the three right
here, right in the plus.

I'm pretty happy about
the target shooting.

Proud of myself.

I want to practice some
more with different guns.

But, you know, I feel very confident
knowing that I still got it.

[gunshot]

Gilbert did pretty
well on his own, too.

I mean, I've never doubted
him, he's a very sharp shooter.

[gunshot]

I think it's good, we
make a really good team.

[Gilbert] Now, we fish.

[soft music playing]

[Emilie] Ever since being here, it's
really changed my view on hunting.

You know, I didn't really understand
it when I used to live in the city,

but it's really a
part of life here.

We can't get food up from
down south as easily.

You only take what you need.

Fishing. Hunting.

It's a really important teaching in
the Cree culture and in the community.

We just take what
our family needs

and everything of
the animal gets used.

We don't waste anything.

Except for my time
right here on this hole.

Oh, yeah, I got a fish!

- [Emilie] Brook trout!
- [Gilbert] Brook trout.

It's about 20 inches.

That's going to feed our
whole family one supper.

Yeah, it's a good meal.

Nikik, don't think about it.

[Nikik wimpering]

Ooh, yeah, got another one!

[Emilie] You're
running with a fish.

Whoa! That might beat
the record, my record.

23, 22?

Mine was 24. It's still good.

Must have been there for a while,
it's not even moving anymore.

Oh. Drown himself, maybe?

[laughs] How do
you drown a fish?

[Gilbert chuckles]

[soft music playing]

[Margot] Being out here, you
have to follow your gut feeling

and just your own instinct.

You feel like you're
part of the land.

You're just like another animal.

I'm still pretty worried because
there's those two other wolves,

and it was a weird feeling to
know that they were circling

and staying that close.

Right after I shot
the wolf at camp,

I followed the two other
wolves' tracks the next day

and they all came here
and I found their beds

just 20 yards from here.

So, I put snares and a
bit of bait all over it.

[intriguing music playing]

Wolves are usually pretty
scared and aware of humans,

so they don't really
come close to camp.

But, right now, it's the mating season,
so it's mostly a danger for dogs.

Cade, let's go. Come on, boy.

If a male smells another male
and thinks it's a competitor,

he's going to come and
try to get rid of him.

So, I'm trying to catch
them before they catch Cade.

[soft music playing]

You can't just put a bunch of
snares in the middle of the trail

hoping they'll
just go through it.

You have to find
the proper spot.

It has to be somewhere
where it's pretty dense,

so it's somewhere where he has
to go through this specific path.

Wolves are so smart, so you
have to be smarter than them.

That's where I found their beds.

There are three beds right here.

It's covered by the snow now,
but they were sleeping here.

So, that's where I
dropped the bait.

Something has been eating
it, it was a big pile

and there's, this
fish has been dragged,

there was a couple of
big fish like this.

Someone is having a feast.

But no, no wolf track so far.

[upbeat music playing]

[drill whirring]

Okay, that's good enough.

One tank will be here.

So, the water will float
when I open the tap,

will go all the way here.

The cold water
will just warm up.

It will go up by
thermosiphon, all the way up.

And that will get inside here.

And it will go like
a whole circle.

Same water all the time.

So, one hole here and
one hole on the top.

This is an old water
cooler I've had for years,

and now, I'm just going to
use it for my water system.

It's cool, you know,
it's good recycling.

I'm still learning a lot
because living in the woods,

I'm learning every day.

Everything you do for the
first time, it's hard.

But when you don't give
up, if you push your limit

and you have the will to
learn, it opens a new world.

And this is why I love it.

Here we go.

And I have to do some
soldering here and here,

to make sure there is no leaks.

[intriguing music playing]

What the hell?

Shit.

I have no clue why
it's not working.

I'll do it again.

Doesn't hold.

How come it doesn't stick?

It doesn't hold.

Every step, it's a challenge.

Every step, it's a surprise.

[sighs]

[soft music playing]

[Margot] The bush makes
your senses sharp.

You can hear better, you can see
better, you can smell better.

And you can feel everything.

[Emilie] You start noticing
the different kinds of trees,

the wind, the weather,
the sun, the animals,

things that are
living around you.

[Billy] I feel that my life is
so deeply connected to nature.

You've got to be grounded.

It's essential.

[upbeat music playing]

[hammer banging]

Just making a nice
little square here.

This is just to
catch the, that beam.

A chisel is probably one of
the more satisfying tools.

It's very peaceful.

I think that'll do.

Just to live in a place where
I can walk out my front door

and just build a bed, it brings
me great, great happiness.

Really do feel free out here.

The big thing is, though,
with this bed, all green wood.

So, I'm building all this
all nice and tight now,

but as it dries out in a nice warm
cabin over the next couple of months,

it's all going to shrink a lot.

Classic case of shrinkage, just comes with
the territory, living in a cold place.

[hammer banging]

This is where the glue comes in.

All right.

Oh, that's a solid bed.

Oh, Jesus! It's heavier
than a piece of lumber.

[grunts]

Oh, God, I'm going to have so
many good sleeps in this thing.

Got a real bedroom now.

Really is a dream come
true. I always wanted this.

Just a pile of logs,
that's all this was.

Still got the old
chainsaw shavings on her.

Holy shit.

So much more space.

That's the guest room.

Right now, it's watertight.

Insulated. I mean, that's
all I really care about.

It was so much work, but now, it's almost
time to kick back and just enjoy it.

Come, Ron. [smacks lips]

Oh, yeah.

This life definitely
isn't for everyone.

But, at the end of the day, it's a
very simple and very fulfilling life.

Nice new bed.

[soft music playing]

Legally, you have to check
your traps every couple days

and reset them if you need to.

It doesn't matter if the weather
is shitty, if it's a storm,

or if it's minus 50.

If you have traps out, you
have to go and check it.

That's a nice marten.

It's a really nice colour.

And it's a good strike
right on the neck.

It's, it's good.

This area is pretty good so far,
got a couple catch on this trail.

I'm going to bring it back,
just keep it for myself.

I can use the fur to make
an insert for my big mitts,

or even for trimming
on a coat or on a hat.

It's a nice fur, it's pretty warm,
so, it will be useful for sure.

It's not frozen
at all, actually.

It's pretty fresh, must
have happened today.

Sometimes people think like
trappers just want to kill animals

and doesn't give a
shit about lives.

Yeah, you have to kill
animals to be here.

[soft music playing]

But it's not just because
we want to kill, kill, kill.

We appreciate that lifestyle.

[intriguing music playing]

I've been thawing this wolf for a
little more than three days now.

It was completely
frozen, it takes a while.

Yeah, I love skinning
animals, actually.

It sounds weird, but it's
kind of a meditation for me.

And also thanking the animal
and taking care of the pelt.

You want to do a good job, first of
all, for the respect of the animal

because you, you took his life.

So, you have to take great care.

And then you have to do
a good job until the end.

It's a long process.

Four or five hours of work.

You got to be careful
to not cut yourself.

I'm going to keep it
for now, as a full pelt.

If you want to live this
lifestyle here in the north,

you have to be able to
hunt, to trap, to fish.

You can make your own
clothes, you can eat,

you can do everything
if you have the skills.

That's the life I want.

[soft music playing]

[Billy] I have no clue why
soldering doesn't stick well.

Everything is so
cold, like crazy cold.

Maybe if I warm up the copper
pipe, the solder will hold better.

All right, I got it.

I need to warm it up
a little bit more.

It's working great.

It's not the nicest
looking, but it's working.

[chuckles]

People think living in the
nature, it's suffering.

But, for me, it's not.

With time and knowledge
and experience,

you learn how to live and have
an easier life in the woods.

[upbeat music playing]

It's like I'm making moonshine.

[laughs]

I don't know if it's
gonna work, though.

Feeling, again, a bit, you know,
worried but now it's the test time.

Whew! Very stressful.

I'm just gonna turn on the tap.

Cold water will float
all the way here.

And of course, I need
another one. [chuckles]

The other water hose,
at the other end,

it will just go up and
back into the tank.

All the heat is coming
from this woodstove.

This is the plan.

Moment of truth.

[suspenseful music playing]

Yeah, it's working.

It's going up. It's going up.

And it's warm, very warm.

There is some leaks here.

Little, small, tiny leaks
that I can deal with later.

I wanted hot water, I'm
going to get hot water.

[chuckles]

Oh my God! Whoo hoo!

It's going up so fast!

Whoo!

Oh! [laughs]

That's a lot of power.

It's working great.

This is now actually
a hot water system.

No more cold water.

No more cold feet.

[soft music playing]

This is the end result.

I have hot water on tap.

I'm so happy.

Five gallons ready to
go, to wash the dishes,

you know, wash my
hands, my face.

And I'm good at least
for two days, I will say.

It's a great improvement
to my homestead.

Making your life easier in
the woods is not a bad thing.

It's a goal.

[rhythmic music playing]

[Emilie] Isn't that so nice?

- Does that look good?
- [kids] Yeah.

Go check it out.

Where's the door?

[chuckles] There's
no door yet.

It's going to be right here.

Do you think this is going
to be a really nice home?

[kids] Yeah!

I think the kids are happy
to see what we've been up to,

working on, on
building our new home.

They seem to really
enjoy being here.

Can't wait to show
it once it's done.

Hop, hop!

[Emilie] Who wants snowshoes on?

[kids] Me!

We are going to go make the snow
flat so we can build our tepee.

Mikael, come put your
foot on, other foot.

[soft music playing]

Let's go pack down some
snow. You guys ready?

All right, let's walk around.

[Gilbert] Stomp the snow.

[Emilie] Stomp the snow
with your snowshoes.

Brooke's doing good. Annie,
you're doing really good.

Come on, Mikael,
gotta make it flat.

You guys did a really good job.

[Gilbert] We're going
to build a tepee.

That is part of my culture.

And then I'm going to share it
with Mikael and Brooke and Annie.

They're going to
see how it's done.

It's very important for my children to
learn the old ways and use the land.

Tradition is an extremely
important thing.

And being on the
land is tradition.

All right? Yeah, keep holding it,
Annie, you're doing really good.

[Gilbert] Yeah, pick it,
pick it up and smack it down.

Yeah, see?

Come here, Mikael,
I need your help.

Come hold it.

Or not.

They're kids, you know, for now,
they might somewhat be interested,

but their attention
is a little bit short,

and that's okay, as long as
they kind of see us doing it

and they're seeing
how it's made.

Eventually, they'll
want to help.

- [Emilie] How is it?
- [Gilbert] It's good.

And once you put the
spruce branches down,

it'll be really nice and cozy
and it'll smell like Christmas.

I'm embracing my French culture
and Gilbert's Cree culture,

and we're blending it
together for our kids.

We call them the French Cree.

I want to make it
cozy for the kids.

It's warmer this way.

- Can't even feel the cold.
- Yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

[Emilie] This doesn't
gross me out. Hey, Nikik.

Being a nurse, like I did the OR
a little bit, the operating room.

I saw a lot.

I think this is good, but we
have to clean it first, though.

That yellow snow?

[chuckles] No.

[Emilie] If we were closer to the
river, we'd just be using river water.

When you're out here
and it's the winter,

just use what you have, which is
snow, and it does a really good job.

It's always exciting when
we get fresh brook trout.

We cook everything,
even the head.

That's Gilbert's favourite part.

The cheeks, yeah,
it's really tender.

Even the eyeballs, he eats.

This is just the tail,
and it gets really crispy.

Eat it like a chip.

Gilbert and Annie fight over it.

Look at this one.

Oh, wow.

That'll be so good.

They're gonna love it.

Fish!

[Emilie] You want fish?

I want fish eyes!

[Gilbert] Annie's
gonna get fish eyes.

It's so good, isn't it?

Meal time for our family,
whether it's at a table

or whether it's
outside in a tepee,

it's always my favourite
part of the day

because we get to sit
down, eat food, and talk.

What do you think about
the new place here?

Good.

It's really calm and I
like, I like going camping.

Me too.

I'm really looking forward
to doing this more often.

We're doing this for the kids.

Being together
and being outside,

this is what life's all about.

Careful, it's going to fall.

[thudding]

[tense music playing]

[Matty] This is definitely
a hillbilly cement job.

All I'm thinking right now
is, "Shit, I hope this works."

The next step, it will
be the most challenging.

[grunts]

Okay, so plan B.

[Margot] The water level
right now is pretty high.

There's lots of currents and it's
getting higher and higher every day.

Fuck!

But you have to take risks if you
want to achieve anything here.

Oh my God, are we seriously
doing this right now?

That was never talked
about as part of the plan.

It's my original plan.

It's super
frustrating right now.

[gunshot]
