Preparing for winter, Kaleb and Brittany Rowland go on a hunt, while Chris and Jessi Morse hatch out a water plan, and Michael Manzo works to broaden his hunting grounds.
The next generation of Alaskans must adapt in order to survive winter. Chris and Jessi Morse battle the Cosna River for fish, while the Rowlands must find new ways to provide for their family. Michael Manzo navigates the most challenging rivers of his life in order to hunt moose before time runs out, and Alex Javor scouts far and wide in hopes to secure meat for before dark winter hits.
In one of the most dangerous activities in the self sufficient lifestyle, everyone is using different strategies on the hunt for wood, either for shelter of for warmth. This creates a major crisis for one family.
As winter's icy grasp begins to tighten, Chris and Jessi Morse wage war with an aggressive predator, while Kaleb and Brittany teach survival skills to the fourth generation of Rowland children. Alex Javor finds himself surrounded by trees threatening his only source of shelter, and Michael Manzo races Mother Nature's clock and battles harsh terrain to break ground on a future cabin.
As the fierce grip of winter tightens over Alaska, fewer resources are available to survive through the harsh Arctic elements. Chris and Jessi Morse fight subzero temperatures to save their cabin and themselves, while the Rowland family builds a wood-burning oven to conserve a vital lifeline. Michael Manzo builds a new home with backbreaking work and bush ingenuity, and Alex Javor risks hypothermia in order to restore a natural spring.
Johnny Rolfe protects his home from predators, the Rowlands teach their children about animal conservation and Michael Manzo trains his dogs
In winter, the conditions are extreme. This leads to a hunt for beaver, alternate strategies for training dogs, new tools for getting water, and some much needed brush maintenance to prevent an accidental bush fire.
For some it is the will to survive and the means to be rescued while starving. For others, a new shelter, for longer trips and easier trapping, and for a family, a little bit of luxury in the wild, for those long, dark, cold nights
The fight for survival continues, with access roads being maintained, protection of food supplies, gathering of supplies, and even the manufacture of crockery and utensils
The struggle to learn and survive continues in the arctic winter. The Rowland family try their hand at fur preparation, Michael teaches the dogs new exercises, Johnny looks for fresh fish and Sipsey gets a brand new kennel.
When times are hard, alternate food sources must be used, and trapping is one of them, providing not only sustenance, but fur for clothing and shoes. Alternate supply options are also required, from a simple sled to and ice runway.
While Michael Manzo, Chris Morse, Kaleb Rowland and Johnny Rolfe work to extend their range of wood and food supplies further from home, Jessi Morse makes her first attempt at tanning a massive beaver skin.
The Rowlands explore new hunting grounds when game around their property gets low. Alex and Sipsey head off to new fishing grounds, and Michael takes his team out across sometimes dangerous terrain.
Chris and Jessi head back to the woodlot where Chris took a serious injury earlier in the year. Michael continues work on his fish camp, while Brittany and the children build kick sleds, and Alex tries to catch some fish in the river.
