"Think this is Actually gonna work?" "That's why We're testing it." "I'll start opening up The rounds." "It's the height of bear season," "And with so much activity," "We don't want To have to kill one," "So we're looking for something." "That we can actually hit The bear with." "That's not going to kill him Or injure him." "But will scare him off." "I have faith in bacon." "I think so." "I think That was pathetic." "Smells good." "It smells Like breakfast." "On this episode Of "Alaskan bush people"... there's gonna be a push To get all this done this year." "And it's gonna take all of us." "The browns brace themselves." "As winter quickly approaches." "Don't get too close." "If you can get it here, get it." "I got him." "And with brother bam gone," "The family's future is More uncertain than ever." "Man, this tide is Coming up on us." "We're gonna be Swimming pretty soon." "You can't get complacent Out here, or you'll get killed." " It's going!" " Let go!" "Far from civilization," "Deep in the alaskan bush." "Lives a family of nine." "Let's go." "Time to wake up." "Another beautiful day In the bush." "Removed From mainstream america..." "They formed Their own customs..." "Their own accents..." "It's already All knotted up." "You know how mom gets." "And their own Laws of survival." "While the outside world Pushes back..." "Drop a tree on us, We'll make firewood." "They'll fight to remain wild." "That's the way you do it In the bush." "We're home!" "This is a place Beyond the frontier." "These are..." "Captions paid for by Discovery communications" "I've said it 1,000 times, But winter's here." "We had a good trip Down to p.O.W.," "But we did lose a lot of time." "And look at the mountains..." "Just right on top Of our trees on the beach." "Beautiful and deadly." "After returning From their recent hauling trip," "The wolf pack is preparing." "For one of the most Brutal winters in decades." " Hi, sabrina." " Hi!" "Long time, no see." "This trip pushed us back A little bit." "I'm realizing every day, You know, it's really costing us." "Of what we would have Gotten done." "Had we been in browntown," "And now all that's got To be made up." "Aw, the tomatoes Didn't make it." "We've been gone A couple of weeks on the boat," "And with the cool weather And the frost," "Nothing in the garden Is surviving." "That's odd." "Yeah, I don't know if I ought To harvest any of these or not." "There's a lot of work To be done," "Especially before snowfall." "I'm super concerned about This winter because we're due." "You can be in an area That has bad winters." "Only so long." "If you've got two or three In a row that aren't bad," "You'd be a fool to think, You know, the next one." "Might not be The one that's gonna hit." "It's always that echo Of the dread winter of '95." "It dropped to 32 to 33 below." "It stayed there For a month and a half." "We burned siding Off the inside of the house." "We burned everything we could To get through that winter," "And it taught us You have to prepare." "You can't be The grasshopper up here." "It doesn't work." "I just can feel it in my bones." "This is gonna be a hard winter." "We've got a nice cabin And all that," "But we're still in the bush, Meaning wood, water, and meat." "Every hour, It's gonna have to be busy." "One of the very first things" "I do in the morning is Start a fire." "Fire is really the heart Of all of browntown." "It starts with the fire." "It ends with the fire." "Browntown, essentially, is The fire." "When your wood runs out," "It becomes very serious Very quick." "When your food runs out, It becomes even more serious." "Then we got More mushrooms out here." "They're good even When they're frozen, right?" "I believe so." "There aren't Any grocery stores in the bush." "Dang." "We found a mess of 'em." "When there's four foot Of snow outside." "And it's so cold that you Just can't go out and work," "You have to rely On what you've stowed up." "You got to rely On what you have right there." "With first snowfall Almost upon them," "The browns must prepare For winter." "With more urgency than ever." "But the wolf pack is missing A vital member." "Good boy." "What do you think?" "You missing bam, too?" "Hey, "Cups."" "Let's put them Right here, I guess." "Boys, that smells good." "Not... careful." " Watch out for that giant hole." " There's a hole there, gabe." " There's a hole there." " Yeah." "Days earlier, at their Hauling stopover in ketchikan," "Second-oldest son bam surprised The family with news." "That he'd be leaving The wolf pack." "It's something I need to do for myself..." "You know, as a man." " More." " More." "More." "Prior to leaving For prince of wales," "Bam began construction On a site for his new home." "And with fresh-cut cedar beam Divvied up for projects." "Around browntown, Billy, matt, and gabe deliver." "Bam's portion to his work site." "Kind of unusual For bam to just drop stuff." "And walk off, isn't it?" " How long is he gonna be gone?" " I do not have a clue." "There are times I wish we could Pick up a cellphone and call." "I mean, he knows The family needs him." "I'm glad that bam's out there, You know, chasing a dream," "And I'm gonna have a little Bit heavier a load to carry," "But brothers watch out For brothers." "And he's got this thing He has to do," "So I'm gonna watch his back Like we always have." "We are trying to do A lot before winter." "We are." "It's gonna take all of us." "Not having bam there, It's gonna be felt." "There's no doubt about it." "It's so close to winter." "The days are shorter." "We've got less time to work." "It's gonna have to be All hands on deck." "Right now, it would be good If you all just got the attitude." "That the snow is already here." "Yeah." " It's time to hunt." " I think it's almost my turn." "You know, if we need deer, I'm always game." "The more the snow comes down, The faster the deer do." "Then maybe we can have someplace To put 'em when you get back." "I'm looking at matt On that, of course." "We depend on deer meat a lot." "It's probably 80% Of what we eat." "Normally, in the winter, It's what we've always done." "We'd just hang our deer In the trees." "But browntown is in the middle Of a lot of bear activity." "So matt's gonna build us a shed So we can get everything," "You know, kind of in one spot, Taken care of," "Where we know Our meat's gonna be good." "Well, with the mill, We have the lumber," "So, you know, It's finally in place," "And then just the time It takes to bang it out." "Good enough." "Good enough." "Do you think we'll get the Wind turbine up before winter?" "We have to." "What are you talking about?" "We're into it far enough now." "That we certainly can't Back off of it." "I'll make it My top priority." "Definitely do." "Just stop everything." "Or at least The second to the top." "I'd put that thing Way up on top." "Okay." "Before being pulled Away on their hauling job," "The browns began An ambitious quest." "To generate sustainable power In browntown." "How much power Is that thing gonna put up?" "5k to 6k." " Pretty good." " Are you kidding?" "That'll run browntown." "And after acquiring Secondhand turbine parts." "In prince of wales..." "Hey, I got The parts over here." "They find Themselves closer than ever." "To achieving their dream." "You know, where food is Very important for survival," "The turbine is just as important Because, if the wind blows," "We have electricity." "That takes away A lot of dangerous trips to town." "Just to get fuel." "To me, it's extremely important That we can get it done now." "Before winter hits and we can't." "The trip To p.O.W. Was pretty good," "But, to be honest, I'm definitely looking forward." "To seeing my girl again." "Just can't wait Until I get to see her again..." "Hold her, hug her, kiss her." "My family wants me To work on the turbine." "I want to work on the turbine," "But I want to spend Some time with her." "It kind of seems like One of those things..." "You have to choose work Or your woman, which is a shame." "The turbine is rather heavy." "It's a couple hundred pounds Maybe," "So it would be a bit challenging To actually get it." "On top of the pilings into the Platform that needs to be made." "I need to be able To hook it up to pulleys," "And it'll probably take Two or three people." "To work together To get everything up." "Right now, I want to see if it works." "Before we actually go through All the trouble of hoisting it." "Up on top Of the actual pillar itself." "If I were atlas, The world would be held." "The wind turbine is A very simple device really." "These blades are Specifically designed." "For when the wind turns it, It turns," "Which actually moves a motor." "The motor's designed like An alternator," "Where, when it turns, It creates electricity." "The tail Of the actual turbine itself." "Is designed slightly askew So if the wind's blowing forward." "Or to the side slightly, It'll keep it aiming." "Towards whichever way The wind is coming." "Perfect." "Right now, what I'm doing Is building a meat shed." "It's really important out here, You know, to make sure." "That your foundation is going To stand the test of time." "We had a really late start This year stocking up meat," "And so it makes this meat shed A little more critical." "To make it through winter." "It's the way That we're going to be able." "To keep the bears out." "And also keep the meat A little bit cooler." "Right now, what I'm doing is I'm leveling the foundation." "I have these blocks here that I've treated with motor oil." "It seals the ends and keeps The moisture from getting in," "Keeps the lumber from rotting." "It's about longevity." "It's not like we're, you know, Nomads living in a tent anymore." "The most important thing is." "That these are going To have to be level." "I'd like to have The proper tools, but I don't." "So what I have here is A jar of water." "Flip it upside down." "If you line the bubble up With the "70," boom... center." "Isn't science fun?" "This project is Really important to me," "And building up browntown is." "Because it's Something bigger than me." "By the time my dad was my age, He'd already started a family." "He was already out here in the Bush doing, hunting, building." "I mean, He did everything on his own." "It's very inspiring." "And this is just some way That I can kind of feel like" "I'm moving on in life." "You know, I'm not stuck..." "That kid." "No, it's not perfect, but It is giving me a better idea." "Of exactly Where these boards need to be." "There you go." "Dang, it's pretty close." "I'll tell you that much." "It's getting shallow." "Yep." "You want To turn it up here?" "No." "We'll keep seeing How far we can go." "See how far we can go." "With the family behind On their winter stockpile," "The browns have just weeks." "To build up Their vital meat supply." "So middle brothers bear And gabe know," "From this point forward, Every hunt is critical." "With a lot of stuff riding On this deer hunt," "I figured that it'd be best If I went ahead." "And took, like, the lead on it." "I have this perfect Hunting place in mind." "Gabe and I actually have to row Across the ocean, hit shore," "Drag our canoe Up through the woods," "Down a trail, Back into the water," "And then row To another side of land." "It's well worth The reward waiting for us." "Over there on that beach." "Let's try to watch our oars." "Don't want to make much noise." "Gabe, come up front." "A little bit more." "We almost have it." "That's good." "That's good." "Shh, shh, shh!" "What kind of design Are you doing?" "A skull." "You're gonna Scare 'em?" "You know, I was a little Skeptical about this hunt." "It's, like, you're carrying An aluminum skiff." "Through thick brush..." "I don't know." "It seems like A lot to go through." "He seems to be pretty dead set On this hunting spot." "I just have to trust him." "No." "Coming up, Gabe follows bear." "Down the road less traveled." "Right in the face." "And later, the boys take The family's turbine project." "To new heights." "Do you have a rope tied Off as you go..." "Move!" "Let go!" "Drop it!" "Yeah." "That's deer track Right there." "With winter Just weeks away," "The brown family is scrambling To prepare for the frost." "Bear is doing his part To stockpile meat," "Leading brother gabe through The deep bush on a deer hunt." "I happen to know Of a secret place." "It's like a deer highway." "One of the downsides is It's always hard to get to." "Right in the face." "But cutting through the land With our canoe." "Will save us hours From rowing all the way around." "Ready." "We'll take it under that." "We'll have to go over." " The canoe?" " Yes." "I think We can take it under it." " Over." " I think so." "Okay, we can do it over." "Other way." "You good?" "I'm starting to feel like I'm playing follow-the-leader." "I'm like, "Is this a deer hunt Or a wild goose chase?"" "We're just going through The thickest part of the bush." "That I think bear could find." "Might have been easier just To park the canoe somewhere." "And then hike up into the woods And get a deer," "But bear is dead set on it that Once we get to the other side." "All this is going To be worth it." "Do you see anything?" "No." "Okay, let's go ahead And pull the thing down." "We'll try to be As quiet as we can, 'cause there could be Some deer just right there." " Gotcha." " Okay." " You got it?" " Just do it." "See it?" "It's clear on this side." "Do you see anything?" "No." "We made a lot Of noise coming in, though." "What's that?" "We made a lot Of noise coming in." "They just..." " yeah." "The main thing I'm hoping is that," "Once we get to the other side, It is as full of deer." "As bear said." "Thank you." "Okay." "Push us off And then turn around." "Stop wiggling." "You're gonna tip the canoe." "We haven't seen any deer yet," "And gabe is A little bit concerned." "That we might not get one," "But I think he's missing The big picture." "Now that we've crossed the land," "My secret beach is Just a short canoe row away," "And it will be Well worth the trouble." "Keep your eyes On the deer." "I don't see any deer." "All I see is you." "What's up, man?" "Just got finished With the turbine." "Really?" "I checked the bearing." "I checked the electricity." "Now I just need bear And, I figure, gabe." "To help me build the platform On top of the pilings." "And get the thing set." "That's great, 'cause that's." "All I've been thinking about To be honest with you." "You know, a turbine can Do something for us." "That a lot of people, I think, Will take for granted." "You simply have electricity." "It's just one little thing You can click off." "That you don't have To worry about in the winter." "It takes browntown To the next level." "And I figure that..." "You know the girl I've known a while?" "I want to bring her out To meet you and mom." "I want to show her Where I come from." "Of all the women I've dated, Few of them..." "I can count it On half of a hand..." "Have ever met my parents." "But I have never met a woman." "That I could Imagine myself being with," "And I want my family To meet her." "We're really pushed Right now, you know?" "There's nothing I can do Until they get back." "It's great that Noah's got a new girlfriend," "But, you know, in the reality Of our world, winter's coming." "We depend on him a lot." "I'm just hoping that noah can Focus on the job at hand." "Yeah, it's cool." "Yeah, you know, for sure." " Turbine and the girl." " Yep." "I'm looking forward To meeting her." "I'm a little anxious Actually." "What I like to do is Just sprinkle out nails." "Around the work site." "That way, when I get to a spot That I'm like," ""I need a nail," Well, there it is." "All right." "At the edge of browntown," "Construction on the family's New meat shed is well under way." "I've got the first wall Already built," "And I'm moving on To the next three." "What I'm doing is I'm making a pitched roof," "And I have The door facing browntown," "So you have to put A little forethought into it." "You know, you don't want to be Walking into a bear out here," "Checking out your refrigerator." "The basic design For this meat shed is" "I'm using a process That's reverse." "Of everything I would use If I was building a house." "Ha-ha!" "I put the studs On two-foot centers." "I'm using one panel On the outside." "Essentially, I don't want to insulate it." "I want to keep it safe from The bears and to keep it cooler." "With winter Steadily approaching," "I'm just trying To move as fast as I can," "Especially since my brothers are Already out hunting." "I'd like To kind of surprise them." "When they get back And show them what I've done." "With my energy While they were gone." "I just want to start getting The siding on." "Then I'll move on To figuring out the door." "Looks like somebody's been Tap-dancing on the wall now." "That's actually pretty ugly." "Well..." "Onwards and upwards." "Out here, there's always A lot of work to be done," "But there's always A lot of fun, as well." "After an hour's Journey from town," "Noah brings His new girlfriend to browntown." "For the very first time." "Our famous smoker." "Yeah?" " My place." " Nice." "I've been doing Some adding on to it lately." "It was originally A chicken coop." "That's awesome." "Showing anyone browntown is A big step." "My brother's place..." "Matthew's." "It can be seemed as strange." "Why has he built The house out of tires?" "'Cause his saran wrap house Burned down." "My first impressions Of browntown..." "I love it." "It's just... it's unique." "We really should probably Go say "Hi" to mom and dad." "Do we have to?" "I'd like to introduce you all To my girl." " Hi." " Hi." "These are my parents." "Meeting families is An important step." "In the progression Of a relationship," "So it's extremely important For both sides to get along." "What do you think Of browntown?" "Um, it's pretty much everything I could ever hope for?" "Knowing noah like I do, You kind of get an idea." "Of what type girl he would like." "Or who he would like Or something." "And she seems to fit the bill Of what I would expect." "I love the cow." "I've always wanted Some farm animals myself." "This is kind of My alaskan adventure." "It will either Accept you or..." "Chew me up And spit me out?" "Exactly." "A lot of people come hoping It will embrace them," "But they end up running." "With their tail tucked Between their legs." "I haven't hit that yet." "Well, I'm happy That noah has found someone," "But, as a mother, I would be happy." "If noah were still bouncing On my knee." "So, I have A question for you." " Okay." " Do you like children?" "Yes." "You don't care That I asked, do you?" " No." " Sorry, noah." "I just have to know." "So, yes, I like kids." "You do like kids." "Well, that's good." " Yes." " She likes kids, dad." "I think we're, like, Two conversation topics." "Past "Should have left."" "okay." " You know?" " Sorry." " Yes." " Apologies now." "No worries." "I felt extremely relieved once The introductions were over," "But all in all it went well." "Now I just have six more people To introduce her to." "After plodding Six miles through frigid inlets." "And untamed terrain, Bear's secret hunting beach is." "Finally within Striking distance." "It's always good To know a secret deer spot." "When you have to have meat." "I always scout the areas." "And the deer are here." "I know it." "You know, they wait for The rain, just like humans do." "Just be nice and slow going..." "Stop!" "Right there." "The countdown To winter has begun," "And the browns are Running out of time." "Bear has taken brother gabe On a crucial hunt." "And with the frost Less than two weeks away," "Failure isn't an option." "Stop!" "Right there." " I think you got him." " I hit him." "He's over that log." "You got him." "Don't rush him." "You know, if he still Has life left in him." "And he kicks you or something, It could still hurt you." "What?" "He's down." "Yeah." "Where'd you get him?" "Through the heart." "Nice." "Ha!" "As I suspected, My spot delivered." "I was confident the whole time." "That my secret spot Would have deer." "This hunt went down Exactly how I planned it." "Just get it field-dressed, Take the guts out and stuff." "We'll drag it out and do The rest when we get back." "You know, I feel bad about it now," "Second-guessing bear like that, But, you know," "He knows these woods Better than anybody." "He knows it like The back of his hand." "If he says There are gonna be deer there," "There are gonna be deer there." "Do you got that thing All by yourself, gabe?" "Yep." "That's not fair." "Seriously?" " Just grab my jacket." " Okay, knight." "I'll be your squire." "It's my kill." "We didn't get the second deer Like we were hoping to," "But we got a deer, we got meat, And that's what we were out for." "So, yeah, everybody's definitely Going to be excited." "To see a little bit More preparing for winter." "Well, this deer hunt Right here is dead-on proof." "That gabe and I are An unstoppable team." "I'm pulling out All the stops on this one," "Using some of the last Large pieces of wood we have." "A lot of resources Are going into this," "Because I want it to be right." "Sometimes, you know, Working alone," "Some of The largest challenges..." "It's not having anybody To bounce ideas off of." "And be like, "Hey, Do you think this will work"," "Or am I just getting Tunnel vision on this?"" "That's why I like having Bam around a lot," "And that's why I miss him here." "I made an imaginary friend here." "His name's rob." "The design, essentially, Was he just, you know..." "He held my light." "I was trying to make it So that he could hold the boards." "And stuff, too, as I sided," "But, he's a bit Of a city slicker, so," "In the absence of my brothers, You know," "I needed somebody to talk to." "This right here is the door." "It's going To slide back and forth." "It's part Of a bed frame, actually," "That's already survived A bear attack." "What I came up with is I'm gonna lay a track." "Across the bottom here And make a sliding door." "This car wheel over here..." "You're gonna come in," "And you're going to spin it, And the door will open." "I found this steering wheel In the dump last year..." "You know, figured I'd use it for something," "And here I am." "The meat-shed door is..." "It's a throwback to old matt." "It's a complex system Of, you know, wheels, pulleys," "And rope essentially." "I don't know If it's the best way to do this," "But, you know, I'm trying To take life more seriously." "Without losing the elements That make me matt." "Open sesame!" "Come on." "Crud." "I'm experiencing Technical difficulty." "Come get some oats!" "You're strong." "That's Why your tongue's all grimy." "It's so you can pick up Your food." "There are a lot of other Projects I've had to work on," "Like getting ready for winter, So that's taken." "A lot of time away from sabrina," "And she's a real social, You know, animal." "So I feel bad That, like, I haven't spent." "As much time with her, So rain and I are going." "To do something Extra special for her." "Okay, so, We're gonna make a cowbell." " Yes." " Well, it's like, she doesn't." "Get out of her pen, but, like, If she did get out of her pen," "The bell would help us Find her." "To make sabrina's cowbell," "We're just going to take An old cup," "And we're going to drill A hole through the top." "And all we need is, like, a..." "It's a bolt That we're going to use." "And a screw To make it extra loud." "I was always told That, like, cows are, like," "Gross animals kind of." "And I guess, close up, She can use a breath mint." "But not... you know, She's not gross." "Well, yes, I connect better With animals than I do people," "You know, because I grew up With a lot of animals," "Like cats and dogs, like, Even like the forest animals." "Just that I like..." "Like to be around." "And all animals like me." "What would sabrina do Right now?" " She'd just eat." " Eat it." "No, I think it'll work." "Come on, sabrina!" " Sabrina!" " We have something for you." "I consider sabrina Just another one of the family," "And we have to take care Of her like one of our own," "So she is part of the family." " There you go." " This is "Udderly" adorable." "Honey, I'm home!" "After Successfully bagging a deer." "For their winter stockpile, Bear and gabe return home." "To the family with their prize." "Actually, I'm a little bit proud..." "What gabe and I did With this little deer hunt." "I think that the family is going To be extremely impressed." "That gabe and I were able To grab a deer so quickly." "You got it?" "I got it Unless you want it." "No, definitely..." "Either way, man." "Okay." "You go out hunting with bear." "You come home with meat." "It's just that simple." "This just proves the old fact..." "Bear and I are, like, the best Hunting team on the planet." "Survival Of the hungriest." "Coming up..." "Grab the back." "You have the back?" " Yeah." " With the end in sight..." " now what?" " Now is the hard part." "The fate Of the family turbine project." "Hangs in the balance." " It's going!" " Move!" "Let go!" "Wait for it." "Don't rush it." "You got him." "With winter approaching," "Bear and gabe back a buck For the family stockpile." "Honey, I'm home!" "Surviving to hunt another day, They return triumphant." "Hey, matt, You have that thing ready..." "Or ready enough?" " Yeah, it's ready enough." " Perfect." "Bringing it over." "I'm glad that my brothers, You know, they were successful." "In their hunt and actually Brought a deer back," "But I'm only halfway through With my shed," "And I feel like I'm running out of time." "The closing mechanism is What I need worked on." "I'm going to transfer The weight of the door." "Instead of hanging Out to the bottom." "Out here, You work with what you have." "I took shotgun shells." "I knocked The primers out of them." "I've built rollers, And, in doing that," "It'll keep the door, The runners," "From failing so quickly." "This door, you know, It's complicated." "There's a lot of moving parts." "But when the time comes, You need to just step up." "And believe in yourself And your ability to succeed." "Boom." "My dad was definitely A role model to me growing up." "I mean, he didn't have Anybody to help him out," "And that's kind of like What I want to be." "It's imperative that you're able To problem-solve on your own." "I'm hoping to only need A couple more hours." "And close." "There we go." "With his girlfriend Headed safely back to hoonah," "Noah returns his focus." "To the all-important Turbine installation..." "But this time With a little help." "Does it twist this way?" "Can I twist it?" "It's working." "I'm twisting it." "That's not gonna hurt it, right?" "Twisty, twisty." "Might want to move your face." "Don't know How this guy's gonna spin." "The turbine is rather heavy." "It's a couple Hundred pounds maybe," "So it would be a bit challenging To actually get it." "On top of the pilings Into the platform." "That needs to be made, So I'm actually recruiting" "Gabe and bear in order To be able to do the pulling." "And guiding of it up." "Listen, listen, listen..." "You should get down." "Right now is An extremely significant moment." "Because everything correlates To the one moment." "Of raising the turbine And making sure." "Beyond the shadow of a doubt That it works." "Bear, we're gonna try To haul it whole before We try to chop it apart." " Cool." "How heavy is it?" " We shall see." "Is it sturdy?" "Watch your face." " Just get back." " Hold on." "It's in the ground." "So as soon as I pull it out, It's gonna fall." "It's like a post." "You know, guys, This would be a lot easier." "If y'all removed that piece And lay it down and hacksaw it." "Gabe." "Guys." "How about, since I'm holding it, we just go?" "Let go, bear." "Grab the back." "You have the back?" " Yeah." " Yes... no, wait just a minute." "Let's lay it down For a second, gabe." "It's an age-old problem." "Of inventors, creators, People with a vision..." "It's always difficult Finding good minions." "Bear?" " Yes?" " Did you let go of it?" "No, I'm holding The whole thing, in fact." " Okay." " Gabe." " Gabe." " Okay, we good?" "I think noah has something In mind he's trying to say." "Off, cup." "Cup." "Y'all are idiots 'cause you're not listening." "We're all ears." "What's up?" "We should remove that piece And lay it down and hacksaw it." "We're not using The base anyway?" "Well, why didn't you say that In the first place?" " Now what?" " Now's the hard part." "We can't go ahead and hoist this Until we have the ladder," "Until I can get up there To bolt everything in properly." "You want to be Up there yourself?" " I have to be regretfully." " Yeah," "For the Mechanical-ish part?" "Yes, 'cause I don't want you To break it." "Not gonna break it." "You just bolt it, right?" "A lot of times, I feel like" "Noah just underestimates My raw, awesome ability." "Start on the ladder, And I'm gonna go work." "On the electronics part, Get it all hooked up." "Honestly." "I guess he wants us to put Boards and nails on the thing." "It adds so much more trouble, So much more hassle." "If you worry about something Before it happens." "And then it happens, You've, like, experienced." "The bad thing twice." "Be safe." "Yeah, nice and safe." "That's my specialty." "I really think that string is The first tape." "Without string, The world would be chaos." "It feels really good To plan something." "And put so much work into it." "And then, to step back And actually see it," "It's good medicine." "I'm actually thinking About just leaving." "The top section Of this door un-paneled." "That way, I get A bit extra ventilation inside." "And the rafters, as well, If you notice, are still open." "So that's going to draw The wind through here," "And it's going To keep everything dry." "And we close." "Yeah!" "It's meant a lot to me To step up," "Kind of step Into my dad's shoes," "Especially that dreamer." "It's..." "I don't know..." "Determination, reliability," "That can-do straightforwardness." "This is probably gonna keep me Running all day long." "I actually feel Pretty good about it." "I'm gonna remove This support." "I don't think it's really Tilting this way anyway." "Okay, we might need one In between these two, then." "Back on the beach, Brothers gabe and bear are." "Prepping the turbine pillars So that youngest brother, noah," "Can complete the final steps Of the turbine installation." "We don't need That ladder." "We can go ahead And hoist that up 'cause he's not talking About adding that ladder." "For any extra support." "That's just so he can climb Up there and rig it." "We're gonna have To have the ladder anyway." "Well, yeah, but we might As well go ahead." "And get This part done first." "Then all noah has To do is rig the blade." " So you think it'll work?" " Yeah." "Pulleys normally hoist stuff up." "It should be a piece of cake." "That thing doesn't weight That much." "I figure we can save A little bit of time 'cause I'm an expert climber." "I can just climb up there And get the turbine ready." "So it can just be Nice and neat for noah." "When he gets his platform In place to work." "Should you have a rope Or something tied off." "As you go just so, if you get to The top and something happens," "You don't fall The whole way?" "It would be More trouble than it's worth." "Watch out." "This thing could come untied." "Watch out!" "What the heck?" "Okay, maybe you should get Out of the way, man." "You shouldn't be under it While I'm climbing." "There's no doubt In my mind that this is." "One of the biggest projects We've ever tackled in browntown." "Once you get that tied, Run the rope through." "It means self-sufficiency." "It means we're completely away From fuel." "The main thing I'm thinking is." "It'd nice to have noah's eyes Out here." "It's good." "Hold." "Coming down." "Down." "Okay." " Hey, it's ready." "Are you ready?" " I'm ready." "Man, this tide is Coming up on us." "Yeah, I know it." "We're gonna be swimming Pretty soon." "With their late-season Push to complete the turbine," "The browns must combat Unpredictable supertides." "Known to pummel southeast alaska In winter months." "This water is flooding us out." "It's almost already filled it." "Pull." "Again." "We're starting to realize now." "That there's A supertide coming in here." "You know, winter tides are here, And they are massive." "If water gets in there And starts corroding things," "That's gonna be really bad." "Noah's told me, "You don't get it wet."" "pull." "I'm trying to pull against..." "One more." " It's slipping out." " Watch out." " It's going!" " Move!" "Let go!" "I've been looking All over the woods." "For this beautifully Magnificent tree." "Gosh, it's as beautiful As I remember it." "One thing that makes this tree." "So beautiful And magnificent is..." "Ton of squirrel holes Down here, too." "One way that you can avoid Pretty much all predators." "In alaska is in a tree." "You just climb up in a tree." "Nothing can get you up there." "Nice and safe." "In lots of ways, trees are Like a beautiful woman." "A lot of people don't realize." "The absolute grace That trees have." "It's too bad That there aren't, like," "Beautiful women roaming around The bushes like trees." "But what can you do?" " Hey, it's ready." "Are you ready?" " Okay, gabe, hoist it up." "After weeks of construction," "The family's dream Of sustainable power is." "Finally within reach." "Hey, gabe, This water is flooding us out." "But bear and gabe Find themselves in deep water." "When they defy Noah's instructions." "And hoist the turbine On their own." "One more." "Okay, it's slipping out." " Hang on." " Watch out." " It's going!" " Drop it!" "Move!" "Let go!" "Great!" "You okay?" " Sheesh!" " I don't believe it." "Aw, man, did it get that, gabe?" "Did it break it?" "Just right in half!" "It just gave out..." "Too much weight, too much pull." "Help me get it Out of here." "Looking at that turbine Laying there in the mud," "It looks pretty bad, To be honest." "You could almost say I'm in shock." "Because it was browntown's hope, Browntown's electricity," "And it's destroyed now." "This piece snapped." "How about this side?" "Well, at least the fin Looks like it's okay." "Maybe noah can fix it." "I don't know." "I mean, if it broke The circuitry inside," "I don't see How he'd fix that." "You know, This project is something." "That all of us have been looking Forward to since we got here." "Let's go break The news to everybody." "Just seeing everybody's faces Once we tell them." "What's happened is Gonna crush me more." "Than the thing falling." "As the tide recedes," "Noah inspects the damage With billy." "Dang, guys." "What happened?" "Just..." "I'd gotten The pulley thing on it," "And we had almost had The motor part." "All the way up, And it just came crashing down." " It just came loose." " It just gave way." "Yeah." "Looking at the broken turbine On the ground," "Man, I'm devastated." "We've worked A whole season on this," "Gone through so much to try To get this thing up." "It's a lot to take in." "Why were you hoisting The thing without me?" "You were supposed to wait." "Well, I didn't figure." "That I needed To be standing around," "So gabe and I figured We'd go ahead..." "Well, I guess I Figured, kind of, we'd Go ahead and hoist it." "If the thing hadn't Fallen over sideways, too," "We'd have had it." "Where is the turbine?" " It landed right on it." " Really?" "So you've broken The turbine," "This thing got Knocked over," "And all because You wouldn't listen." "I think you're missing The fact that this thing was." "Not stable enough To hold the weight." "Of it being Pulled against." "But the turbine wouldn't have Been being lifted and damaged." "This thing fell on it?" "That wouldn't have happened If you'd have listened to me." " Yeah, does that matter now?" " It does." " No, it doesn't." " It proves once and for all." "That people should listen to me." "Your faces are getting all red." "Anyway, this thing is Completely smashed down," "So where do you want To go from here, dad?" "This turbine, it became a quest To us, not just a project." "With winter right here, I do have to second-guess myself." "A little bit that maybe The time and the efforts." "And the energy That we put on the turbine," "Maybe we should have been Out doing all the chores." "To prepare for winter because It could put us in a real bind." "Did this main piece go In the water?" "Yes, it did." "This whole thing was flooded." "Is it as bad as it looks?" "I won't know the exact extent Of the damage." "Until I get the thing out, But if this thing was." "In the water, that means there's Now sea salt inside of it," "And I can't fix that." "So, from here, though, What do we do?" "I honestly don't know." "But I refuse to give up." "In our life, We've had a lot of." "What a lot of people Would call tragedies." "We've had houses burn." "We've had boats sink." "We've lost everything." "We've had bears come in And destroy everything we own." "So many times I can't count it anymore." "You know, the world we live in, You don't give up." "You can't give up." "If we'd have given up, We wouldn't be here right now." "Literally Let's pick up the pieces..." "Haul them up to noah's." "Noah, shake it." "See what you can do, kid." "That's why you're so good." "Just see what you can do." "And we will not build." "The next one like this." "No matter what I think Or know right now," "It's like everything else We've ever done." "We've never let Anything stop us before," "Or we wouldn't be To the point we are now." "This is not gonna stop us." "We're gonna figure this out." "We're gonna get A wind turbine up here." "We're gonna have the dream That we tried to do." "And, somehow... you know, we're Not gonna quit until it's done." "On the next episode Of "Alaskan bush people"..." "Can you fix it?" "I'm pretty sure I can't fix this." "Aw, don't give me that." "The devastating Turbine collapse pushes." "The browns towards a barter that Could be their saving grace." "We've got Quite a bit of wood." "We're running out of gas." "This is all we have left For all of browntown." "Look at the time We've wasted." "I don't know if you've noticed, But winter's here." "But winter isn't The only trouble knocking." "At their door." "When we're out here hunting, We should all keep our eyes out." "I see him."
