1
00:00:10,067 --> 00:00:12,967
You know, this last winter,
I hurt the body.
2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,367
One of the largest owies,
3
00:00:21,433 --> 00:00:23,933
was to the, you know,
this whole area here.
4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,267
One of the problems
that I have,
5
00:00:27,333 --> 00:00:30,667
I'm not gonna be shooting
on this side, ever again.
6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,833
All of my hardware
is for somebody
7
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,133
that has a whole different
body than I have.
8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,933
Put on your gun belt.
Where does it hang?
9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,033
On the right.
10
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:42,567
This is the one that's hurt.
11
00:00:44,367 --> 00:00:47,367
My guns, every single
stinking one of them,
12
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:52,967
is made to go here,
on the right.
13
00:00:53,033 --> 00:00:57,033
So, I'm gonna fly to town,
see my buddy Gary,
14
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:00,300
get a gun made and get back
here, so I can protect myself.
15
00:01:00,833 --> 00:01:02,733
I can't maintain
my style of life here
16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,400
if I can't protect myself and
hunt for the food that I eat.
17
00:01:05,467 --> 00:01:09,067
If I can't do
that simple task, I'm done.
18
00:01:35,033 --> 00:01:37,833
I know you're saying
it's all good, it's all okay.
19
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:38,933
But I know I'm putting
20
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,500
the weight of the world
on your shoulders.
21
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:42,267
I love you
and I absolutely respect you
22
00:01:42,333 --> 00:01:44,833
for stepping up to the plate.
That's pretty cool beans.
23
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:46,300
I love you too, Auntie.
And I got this.
24
00:01:46,367 --> 00:01:48,767
It's a blessing
to have Jesse here,
25
00:01:48,833 --> 00:01:50,467
and being so capable.
26
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,833
This time of year, if I didn't
have Jesse up here with me,
27
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:55,400
I would not be able to leave.
28
00:01:55,467 --> 00:01:56,767
-I love you.
-Love you too, Auntie.
29
00:01:56,833 --> 00:01:57,967
Thank you so much
for being you.
30
00:01:58,033 --> 00:01:59,267
No problem, Auntie.
31
00:01:59,333 --> 00:02:01,967
-Family's for... (LAUGHS)
-Family sticks together.
32
00:02:02,033 --> 00:02:04,267
SUE: You know, the gun,
I'm excited about it.
33
00:02:04,333 --> 00:02:05,900
I've got an idea.
34
00:02:05,967 --> 00:02:08,767
But I need to see how it is,
and then find my weaknesses.
35
00:02:09,867 --> 00:02:11,900
Winter's coming,
the bears are out there,
36
00:02:11,967 --> 00:02:14,467
the wolverines are out there,
the wolves are out there.
37
00:02:15,267 --> 00:02:17,633
This is my life on the line.
38
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,367
CHIP: All this nature
is the same as it was
10,000 years ago.
39
00:02:28,433 --> 00:02:29,700
We're the things that change.
40
00:02:37,233 --> 00:02:38,667
You ready, bun?
41
00:02:38,733 --> 00:02:41,267
I got to flip over my shoes,
so they don't get rained on.
42
00:02:41,333 --> 00:02:42,700
NARRATOR: The Hailstones
spend their summer
43
00:02:42,767 --> 00:02:44,067
along the Kiwalik River,
44
00:02:44,133 --> 00:02:45,700
where they only have
a brief window
45
00:02:45,767 --> 00:02:48,200
to gather resources
before the freeze returns.
46
00:02:48,967 --> 00:02:50,233
For Chip and Agnes,
47
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:52,267
teaching their daughters
how to survive in the Arctic
48
00:02:52,333 --> 00:02:55,700
is a priority
and a valued native tradition.
49
00:02:55,767 --> 00:02:58,033
Okay, girls,
let's go to the greens!
50
00:02:58,100 --> 00:02:59,667
We can start with sour docks
51
00:02:59,733 --> 00:03:01,300
since the sour docks
are ready.
52
00:03:03,233 --> 00:03:05,267
CHIP: What we call
sour docks in English,
53
00:03:05,333 --> 00:03:07,400
they call quagaqs in Inupiat.
54
00:03:09,433 --> 00:03:11,533
And they're a local green
that we like to eat with,
55
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,733
they're a little,
slightly on the sour side.
56
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,467
So, they're good
with vinegar and oil,
57
00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:16,600
a little bit
of salt and pepper.
58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,233
And they're
a really good green,
59
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:19,900
and they're really fresh,
and the time to pick 'em
is now.
60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,700
Well, you can spot these
red stalks that are up.
61
00:03:23,767 --> 00:03:28,233
And around 'em, there'll be,
er, nice succulent greens.
62
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:29,500
And they're pretty
tasty, actually.
63
00:03:29,567 --> 00:03:30,733
I like 'em.
64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,367
I grew up eating
this kind of stuff.
65
00:03:32,433 --> 00:03:34,667
But we used to go gather them,
you know, on riverbeds.
66
00:03:34,733 --> 00:03:35,933
Not much different than this.
67
00:03:38,533 --> 00:03:39,800
AGNES: You girls got
to make sure you pick
68
00:03:39,867 --> 00:03:42,533
the right correct greens,
so we don't get sick.
69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,033
One year, we thought
we picked all greens,
70
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:46,533
and then, there happened to be
71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,567
a few poisonous flowers
mixed in with those.
72
00:03:48,633 --> 00:03:51,000
And I happened to eat them,
and I got really sick.
73
00:03:51,067 --> 00:03:52,367
And after that,
74
00:03:52,433 --> 00:03:54,633
me and the girls started
watching every plant we pick.
75
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:55,967
And they have it
in their head,
76
00:03:56,033 --> 00:03:57,433
if they don't pick
the correct plant
77
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:58,700
somebody's gonna get sick.
78
00:03:58,767 --> 00:04:00,633
So, it's very important
for the girls
79
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:02,633
to know what they need
to look for,
80
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,400
it's important
for them to know
81
00:04:04,467 --> 00:04:05,733
where to go
to pick these things
82
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,900
and how to preserve them.
83
00:04:07,267 --> 00:04:09,033
If they don't
have this experience
84
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:10,800
and if they don't know
what flowers to eat,
85
00:04:10,867 --> 00:04:12,800
they might go hungry.
86
00:04:12,867 --> 00:04:14,867
Being out here, there's
no reason to go hungry
87
00:04:14,933 --> 00:04:16,433
if you know what you're doing.
88
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,033
We're really not scoring
too high here, are we?
89
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,667
Yeah, we've picked most
of the big ones already
90
00:04:26,733 --> 00:04:29,300
and there's just
quite a few smaller ones.
91
00:04:29,367 --> 00:04:30,633
CHIP:
We should just go down river.
92
00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:32,200
-You guys want to go
a couple miles?
-MARY: Yes.
93
00:04:32,267 --> 00:04:33,267
AGNES: Yeah, we could.
94
00:04:33,333 --> 00:04:35,000
Probably there'll
be bigger leaves.
95
00:04:38,467 --> 00:04:39,833
CHIP: We're heading down
to the coast.
96
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:41,667
We've pretty much picked out
this whole little valley here.
97
00:04:41,733 --> 00:04:43,200
Don't ever wanna impact
an area too heavy
98
00:04:43,267 --> 00:04:44,700
that it wouldn't grow back.
99
00:04:44,767 --> 00:04:46,233
We go for quality,
not quantity.
100
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:48,800
So, we're gonna go
wherever it's wet.
101
00:04:48,867 --> 00:04:50,800
Wherever you see lakes,
wherever you see rivers,
102
00:04:50,867 --> 00:04:52,933
creeks, things like that,
that's where we'll be,
103
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,033
and that's where
the quagaq will be.
104
00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:00,933
MARTHA: There's lots
of opportunities,
105
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,967
depends on what you wake up to
in the morning.
106
00:05:03,033 --> 00:05:04,733
We always keep ourselves busy.
107
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:18,233
My name is Martha Mae Salitan,
I'm married to Erik Salitan.
108
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:21,467
I'm from Iliamna, Alaska.
Was born and raised here.
109
00:05:21,533 --> 00:05:24,333
I enjoy hunting,
fishing, camping,
110
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,367
anything that has to do
with the outdoors.
111
00:05:27,367 --> 00:05:29,267
Beautiful day to go
play on the lake.
112
00:05:29,333 --> 00:05:32,000
See if I can't find
some birds.
113
00:05:32,067 --> 00:05:34,333
Erik left early this morning
with a fishing client,
114
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,200
so I got the rest of the day
to go out
115
00:05:36,267 --> 00:05:37,833
and motor around on the lake.
116
00:05:41,633 --> 00:05:43,467
I'm gonna first
check out this little pond
117
00:05:43,533 --> 00:05:45,100
that's not too far away
from here.
118
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,500
Erik and I have hunted
over there
119
00:05:47,567 --> 00:05:48,900
and been successful before,
120
00:05:48,967 --> 00:05:51,233
so I figured
that's a good place to go.
121
00:05:52,333 --> 00:05:53,767
Hopefully, I can prove to Erik
122
00:05:53,833 --> 00:05:56,400
that I'm just as good
a hunter as he is.
123
00:05:58,533 --> 00:05:59,933
NARRATOR: Martha
and Erik Salitan
124
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,867
live on the Iliamna peninsula
during the summer months,
125
00:06:02,933 --> 00:06:04,667
where they hunt and fish
to maintain
126
00:06:04,733 --> 00:06:06,733
their subsistence lifestyle.
127
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,033
MARTHA: I grew up out here.
128
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:13,033
You really learn to love
and hate the lake.
129
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:15,900
It's a renewable resource
that you can always depend on,
130
00:06:15,967 --> 00:06:18,700
but you also learn
it's very dangerous.
131
00:06:20,367 --> 00:06:23,233
It's the largest freshwater
lake here, in Alaska.
132
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:25,600
Eighty miles long
by 20 miles wide.
133
00:06:25,667 --> 00:06:28,267
And if you get caught up here
on an ugly day,
134
00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:29,733
winter or summer,
135
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,100
it could potentially
be really dangerous.
136
00:06:36,933 --> 00:06:38,300
This is the first spot.
137
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:42,100
This little lake
that's right over here.
138
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:44,567
So, we're gonna
head over there.
139
00:06:44,633 --> 00:06:45,767
Hopefully, there's a bird.
140
00:06:50,633 --> 00:06:52,000
(WHISPERS)
The lake's right there.
141
00:07:27,567 --> 00:07:28,867
We'll see what we got here.

(WHISPERS)
143
00:07:32,333 --> 00:07:33,833
I'm gonna go down
a little bit further
144
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:36,200
and see if I can't get
right across from 'em.
145
00:07:41,233 --> 00:07:42,667

On to the next.
148
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:05,300
There are certain kinds
of ducks that taste good,
149
00:08:05,367 --> 00:08:07,367
and certain kinds of ducks
that don't.
150
00:08:07,433 --> 00:08:09,200
Mergansers are one
of the ones that don't,
151
00:08:09,267 --> 00:08:11,200
so we're gonna keep moving,
152
00:08:11,267 --> 00:08:12,900
see if we can't find
something else.
153
00:08:14,567 --> 00:08:16,167
Came to this lake here.
154
00:08:16,233 --> 00:08:17,933
Had two birds in it.
155
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,600
But they're just not
the kind that we want.
156
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:21,100
I'm gonna load up here,
157
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:23,233
go over to this island right
over here called
Rabbit Island.
158
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:24,567
It's a good spot.
159
00:08:24,633 --> 00:08:26,900
Couple of small
little ponds on it.
160
00:08:26,967 --> 00:08:28,333
Hopefully, there's birds
over there.

00:09:05,733 --> 00:09:07,600
Having proper doghouses
will ensure
173
00:09:07,667 --> 00:09:09,367
that the dogs stay
healthy and strong
174
00:09:09,433 --> 00:09:11,500
in the harsh conditions
of racing season.
175
00:09:12,233 --> 00:09:15,200
The theory of a doghouse
for a dog,
176
00:09:15,267 --> 00:09:18,433
is not to keep it warm.
It's to keep it dry.
177
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:20,600
In the winter, you know,
if the dog's all wet
178
00:09:20,667 --> 00:09:22,633
and its fur, under-fur
is matted down,
179
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:23,800
it can't stay warm.
180
00:09:23,867 --> 00:09:25,700
All the investment I put
in these young dogs
181
00:09:25,767 --> 00:09:27,733
is investing
in my future career.
182
00:09:29,333 --> 00:09:31,967
Time's overdue for me to get
ahead on some new houses.
183
00:09:32,033 --> 00:09:33,233
Then I don't
have to worry about it
184
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:34,967
for, you know,
the years to come.
185
00:09:40,733 --> 00:09:43,300
One thing I gotta do is get
all this fireweed out of here.
186
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:45,567
As much as I love it
and as beautiful as it is,
187
00:09:45,633 --> 00:09:47,067
I can't see the ground.
188
00:09:47,133 --> 00:09:48,467
This is all gonna be places
189
00:09:48,533 --> 00:09:51,167
where dogs are gonna end up
going if I can clear it out.
190
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:53,233
So this is like gonna be
like, the beginning
191
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:54,833
of my new dog yard.
192
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:02,500
Right now, all I see
is a lot of work.
193
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,967
Already I got enough sod
opened up for a couple dogs.
194
00:10:11,333 --> 00:10:12,367
Look at it that way,
195
00:10:12,433 --> 00:10:14,500
so you don't feel
like it's so much work.
196
00:10:14,567 --> 00:10:16,000
One step at a time.
197
00:10:20,033 --> 00:10:22,467
For me, I had
to like, just work hard.
198
00:10:22,533 --> 00:10:23,700
Deal with what I got.
199
00:10:23,767 --> 00:10:25,400
A lot of people would have
a big piece of machinery
200
00:10:25,467 --> 00:10:27,067
and have a perfectly
groomed dog yard.
201
00:10:27,133 --> 00:10:28,500
Me, I have to deal
with what I got.
202
00:10:28,567 --> 00:10:30,267
You know, I got
what I can afford.
203
00:10:30,333 --> 00:10:32,133
It won't be perfect
but it'll be better.
204
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,900
(GRUNTS) Fuck.
205
00:10:42,967 --> 00:10:44,400
Just got stung by a bee.
206
00:10:47,567 --> 00:10:48,767
Out of there.
207
00:10:48,833 --> 00:10:50,067
I guess this
is the disadvantages
208
00:10:50,133 --> 00:10:52,600
of doing this kind
of thing by hand.
209
00:10:52,667 --> 00:10:54,600
One venomous bee.
210
00:10:54,667 --> 00:10:57,233
Didn't want to get stung
by a bunch of 'em. Fuck!
211
00:10:57,533 --> 00:11:00,133
They must have a nest in here,
I can see 'em all over.
212
00:11:03,333 --> 00:11:05,300
Summer's a narrow
window of opportunity
213
00:11:05,367 --> 00:11:06,500
to, like, get a lot done.
214
00:11:06,567 --> 00:11:08,133
I got to do
what's best for my dogs.
215
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,967
(BEES BUZZING)
216
00:11:10,033 --> 00:11:11,667
They're living
under this tree.
217
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,267
They keep going in and out,
218
00:11:15,333 --> 00:11:17,433
so I'm gonna try to douse
their nest with gas.
219
00:11:19,667 --> 00:11:20,900
Light it on fire.
220
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,367
Okay, I can see right
where they're going
221
00:11:23,433 --> 00:11:25,600
in the hole there.
222
00:11:25,667 --> 00:11:26,767
Just got to go for it.
223
00:11:26,833 --> 00:11:28,067
NARRATOR:
After clearing the area
224
00:11:28,133 --> 00:11:30,433
and creating a fire break
to contain the flames,
225
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:32,200
Jessie can now
eradicate the bees
226
00:11:32,267 --> 00:11:35,233
and ensure the safety
of himself and his dog team.
227
00:11:37,133 --> 00:11:38,600
(BEES BUZZING)
228
00:11:44,867 --> 00:11:46,733
JESSIE: I decided to go
with starting this fire and,
229
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,567
you know, the gasoline
to try to kill 'em
230
00:11:48,633 --> 00:11:51,267
'cause I thought it might be
a healthier alternative
231
00:11:51,333 --> 00:11:53,433
than having to use
some chemical.
232
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:56,100
I think it's working, I don't
see no bees hardly any more.
233
00:12:06,367 --> 00:12:08,067
Got a lot left to do.
234
00:12:08,133 --> 00:12:09,967
Hopefully, I don't get stung
by no more bees.
235
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:16,333
SUE: You get out of life,
here in Alaska,
236
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,700
what you put into it.
237
00:12:25,967 --> 00:12:26,967
(BEEPING)
238
00:12:28,567 --> 00:12:29,767
Hey, buddy.
239
00:12:31,033 --> 00:12:32,933
-Hey, Sue.
-SUE: Oh, hey, Eddie!
240
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,567
NARRATOR: After an injury
left her unable
241
00:12:34,633 --> 00:12:37,100
to use a firearm
with her dominant side,
242
00:12:37,167 --> 00:12:39,200
Sue has flown 500 miles
to Fairbanks
243
00:12:39,267 --> 00:12:41,667
to pick up custom weaponry.
244
00:12:41,733 --> 00:12:43,233
-We'll start with this one.
-Okay.
245
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:45,667
-This is the left-handed.
-All right.
246
00:12:45,733 --> 00:12:47,133
NARRATOR: The new guns
will be crucial
247
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,967
for hunting and protection
from the tundra's predators
248
00:12:50,033 --> 00:12:51,467
when she returns to Kavik.
249
00:12:51,533 --> 00:12:54,967
SUE: My life is on the line
with my ability to hunt.
250
00:12:55,033 --> 00:12:58,800
What I harvest, what I get,
is what I eat.
251
00:12:58,867 --> 00:13:00,967
Predators are always
something that are around.
252
00:13:01,033 --> 00:13:02,733
There's a lot of bears,
a lot of wolves.
253
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,800
If I can't protect myself
and other people,
254
00:13:04,867 --> 00:13:06,467
I can't be
the warden of Kavik.
255
00:13:06,533 --> 00:13:07,600
Simple as that.
256
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
NARRATOR: Sue will be alone
in the Kavik tundra
257
00:13:11,067 --> 00:13:12,667
for dark winter.
258
00:13:12,733 --> 00:13:14,167
With the freeze approaching,
259
00:13:14,233 --> 00:13:16,133
teaching herself to shoot
from her left side
260
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,233
is critical for her survival.
261
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:19,733
This little place, right here,
262
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,667
it's darn near right on top
of where I grew up,
263
00:13:22,733 --> 00:13:25,967
in Fairbanks, and it's been
a shooting area for me before.
264
00:13:26,033 --> 00:13:29,400
This is a .30-06.
But it's a lefty.
265
00:13:29,967 --> 00:13:32,933
And I don't even really know
how to hold it.
266
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,133
Gary showed me a little bit,
but I don't get it yet.
267
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,000
You know, for me,
even holding it, it's...
268
00:13:39,067 --> 00:13:42,133
I mean, I'm getting my beak
awful damn close
to that thing
269
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,533
and I've got no strength.
270
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:46,333
The right side
can't hold it up yet.
271
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,500
That's the idea
for using this.
272
00:13:48,567 --> 00:13:50,733
This helps me steady the gun.
273
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,233
I'm gonna sit in the chair,
at the table,
274
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:55,567
raise it to the right height,
get it in there,
275
00:13:55,633 --> 00:13:57,100
and, hopefully,
shoot the target.
276
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,067
What I'm gonna do is go
for that lower, left target.
277
00:14:01,133 --> 00:14:02,667
It is awkward as heck.
278
00:14:02,733 --> 00:14:04,300
I'm gonna get ready to fire.
279
00:14:05,367 --> 00:14:06,733
I'm scared.
280
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,033
-(GUNSHOT FIRED)
-All right.
281
00:14:10,133 --> 00:14:12,167
I can see
that I've hit the paper.
282
00:14:12,633 --> 00:14:13,700
And there's your mark.
283
00:14:13,767 --> 00:14:16,600
It's not a bull's eye,
but it's in there.
284
00:14:16,667 --> 00:14:17,900
I definitely felt it.
285
00:14:17,967 --> 00:14:21,000
I'm a little scared.
Feeling tiny.
286
00:14:21,067 --> 00:14:22,600
But it's pretty fun.
It's always fun.
287
00:14:25,867 --> 00:14:29,033
-(GUNSHOT FIRED)
-Huh.
288
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:30,600
I'm low and to the right.
289
00:14:30,667 --> 00:14:32,000
Try to line it up,
290
00:14:32,067 --> 00:14:34,500
trying to keep it tight,
trying not to flinch.
291
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,900
-And I'm gonna take a shot.
-(GUNSHOT FIRED)
292
00:14:38,967 --> 00:14:40,967
Upper target. Left hand side.
293
00:14:41,033 --> 00:14:42,033
(GUNSHOT FIRED)
294
00:14:43,133 --> 00:14:45,900
Nailed it.
Right in the bull's-eye.
295
00:14:45,967 --> 00:14:47,867
They say you can't
teach an old dog new tricks.
296
00:14:47,933 --> 00:14:50,300
Well... (BARKING)
Yeah, you can.
297
00:14:51,033 --> 00:14:55,800
This is a 460, 500
Smith & Wesson pistol.
298
00:14:55,867 --> 00:14:58,000
This is predator
protection only.
299
00:14:58,067 --> 00:15:00,533
Not legal to hunt food
using a laser.
300
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,833
What I wanna see... I'm gonna
put out some other targets
301
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:05,433
and I want to see some splat.
I want to see some boom.
302
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:07,933
I wanna know that
that's a predator going pow.
303
00:15:12,367 --> 00:15:13,367
(GUNSHOT FIRED)
304
00:15:14,633 --> 00:15:16,033
My thoughts are,
305
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:19,100
I just want to get a feel
for what it's gonna feel like.
306
00:15:19,167 --> 00:15:22,800
Address the issue
that I've never done
anything leftie before.
307
00:15:22,867 --> 00:15:23,900
(GUNSHOT FIRED)
308
00:15:23,967 --> 00:15:27,633
Erm, I have some fears,
some trepidation,
309
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:31,700
and, er, I don't want
to stress out the areas.
310
00:15:31,767 --> 00:15:35,167
I just wanna get a feel for
where are my comfort levels?
311
00:15:35,233 --> 00:15:36,633
(GUNSHOT FIRED)
312
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:38,267
I don't want to do it
to the point...
313
00:15:38,333 --> 00:15:42,000
I can shoot all day long
but that's gonna damage
what's trying to heal.
314
00:15:42,067 --> 00:15:44,800
You know, it's kind of like
having a bite of dessert
315
00:15:44,867 --> 00:15:46,733
instead of the whole
freaking cake.
316
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,867
Bear down.
317
00:15:51,167 --> 00:15:53,900
I think I did really well.
318
00:15:53,967 --> 00:15:56,233
It was a good day.
It's a great day.
319
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:57,400
I'm not, you know...
320
00:15:57,467 --> 00:15:59,300
I wasn't worried
about anything eating me.
321
00:15:59,367 --> 00:16:02,500
I was blowing it all away,
and, erm,
322
00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:04,633
nothing wrong with having
a little boom factor
323
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:06,233
for your evening
entertainment.
324
00:16:11,333 --> 00:16:12,867
CHIP: It's just a big cycle.
325
00:16:12,933 --> 00:16:15,467
And we're always getting ready
for the next cycle.
326
00:16:27,033 --> 00:16:28,900
Yee. My heavy bag over.
327
00:16:31,867 --> 00:16:34,100
We're out looking
for greens, today,
328
00:16:34,167 --> 00:16:35,633
and we pretty much
picked all the greens
329
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:36,867
around the camp
in every place,
330
00:16:36,933 --> 00:16:38,700
so we're going
someplace different.
331
00:16:38,767 --> 00:16:40,500
Never know what
we're gonna see out there.
332
00:16:40,567 --> 00:16:42,433
We might need
little bit firearm
333
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:44,300
to protect ourselves
from the animals,
334
00:16:44,367 --> 00:16:48,633
but girls used to shooting
shotgun and stuff like that.
335
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:51,400
But, erm, we have a .410,
336
00:16:51,467 --> 00:16:53,767
so they don't have
to actually shoot
337
00:16:53,833 --> 00:16:56,167
a real big high-powered gun
and it's so heavy
338
00:16:56,233 --> 00:16:58,067
that we're running around
the tundra with it.
339
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:01,733
Usually, we go out
and go get some fresh meat
340
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,867
every other day, or go
for fishing or something,
341
00:17:03,933 --> 00:17:06,433
but, erm, we don't have any
fresh meat here at camp.
342
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:08,067
So we're pretty much
gonna come back with meat
343
00:17:08,133 --> 00:17:09,667
one way or the other.
344
00:17:09,733 --> 00:17:13,233
It be fish, geese,
maybe just greens.
345
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:16,567
I don't know there's
all kinds of different things
we can run into,
346
00:17:16,633 --> 00:17:19,367
seeing how we're the only
people that run this river.
347
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:21,400
We sure wouldn't mind picking
a whole bunch
348
00:17:21,467 --> 00:17:25,367
to store for the winter
and put some away, and, erm,
349
00:17:25,433 --> 00:17:27,100
it's a little too hot
and no breeze up here,
350
00:17:27,167 --> 00:17:29,233
so we're heading to the coast
where the breeze is
351
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:30,933
and where there's
less mosquitoes
352
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,667
and hopefully bigger greens.
353
00:17:37,467 --> 00:17:39,967
We'll go where there's
not very tall grasses
354
00:17:40,033 --> 00:17:41,767
and then the leaves
should be bigger.
355
00:17:43,667 --> 00:17:45,867

So we're gonna go over
to the base of these hills
over here.
364
00:18:12,533 --> 00:18:14,667
And we're gonna, erm,
look around for greens.
365
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,200
We're also looking for greens,
so we can eat salads
366
00:18:18,267 --> 00:18:20,133
and you know get
the Vitamin C also.
367
00:18:29,033 --> 00:18:30,433
CHIP: And I like
taking my kids along,
368
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:32,867
so they're not only seeing it,
they're gonna get to pick it,
369
00:18:32,933 --> 00:18:34,667
then they're gonna get
to cook it and eat it.

And that's the whole process
from beginning to end.
371
00:18:36,767 --> 00:18:38,233
But I want 'em to know
where to find 'em.
372
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:39,733
You find 'em
in these drained areas
373
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,233
right next to the lakes and
creeks and rivers and stuff.
374
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:43,367
This a good place to do it.
375
00:18:43,433 --> 00:18:45,133
Plus, I hear
lots of geese over here
376
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,700
and I've seen lots of geese
over there so,
377
00:18:46,767 --> 00:18:48,200
I think we might throw
a goose or two
378
00:18:48,267 --> 00:18:50,033
into this meal after a while.
379
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:51,500
But, erm,
we don't do anything else
380
00:18:51,567 --> 00:18:54,333
until we got enough greens and
the tide comes up a bit more.
381

other kinds of leaves
that look exactly like these.
384
00:19:03,533 --> 00:19:04,867
But they're not edible,
385
00:19:04,933 --> 00:19:07,633

of watch what you pick.

387
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,833
all winter long for us.
388
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:12,933
It's a lot of roughage
for your guts.
389
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,867
And it tastes good. You know?
Everybody likes a salad.
390
00:19:15,933 --> 00:19:17,200
And we have ways
of storing this.
391
00:19:17,267 --> 00:19:18,733
We boil some of these down
and save 'em in a bucket,
392
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,433
we'll eat a lot of 'em fresh,
and then, erm,
393
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:23,600
we take the leaves, too,
and we put 'em across the top.
394
00:19:23,667 --> 00:19:25,567
And when the bucket moulds,
the top will mould,
395
00:19:25,633 --> 00:19:27,400
but what's underneath won't,
and we'll peel that off,
396
00:19:27,467 --> 00:19:28,933
throw it away
and start eating.
397
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:35,100
Let's go back
towards the boat, ladies.
398
00:19:35,167 --> 00:19:37,733
We'll see what we can do
from there, okay?
399
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,233
-AGNES: Yeah.
-It depends on the tide.
400
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:41,600
Everything depends
on the tide, so...
401
00:19:41,667 --> 00:19:42,900
Yeah, let's go check
on how high
402
00:19:42,967 --> 00:19:44,500
the river's gotten
since we came here.
403
00:19:44,567 --> 00:19:46,200
We might be able
to go further up.
404
00:19:46,267 --> 00:19:48,633
CHIP: Yep. I think we've
pretty well ravaged this area.
405
00:19:52,267 --> 00:19:55,500
MARTHA: We try to hunt
all the food that we eat.
We prefer it.
406
00:19:55,567 --> 00:19:56,867
You know, to get out,
be active
407
00:19:56,933 --> 00:19:58,900
and be able to harvest
your own meat.
408
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,567
This is the second spot
I wanted to come to.
409
00:20:12,933 --> 00:20:15,367
There's a couple of good coves
or bays in here.
410
00:20:15,433 --> 00:20:17,633
Hopefully, they're holding
some ducks.
411
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:19,000
Keep our fingers crossed.

NARRATOR: While Erik is away
guiding fishing clients,
413
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,933
Martha is surveying
Lake Iliamna
414
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,867
for an opportunity
to hunt ducks,
415
00:20:28,933 --> 00:20:31,567
a key food source
during the season.
416
00:20:31,633 --> 00:20:33,933
We're gonna go to this little
bluff right here.
417
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,167
It's a good lookout spot.
See if we can see any birds.
418
00:20:48,167 --> 00:20:49,800
There's nothing out there.
419
00:20:50,267 --> 00:20:51,467
Bummer.
420
00:20:54,167 --> 00:20:58,367
I'm wondering if there's
any in this little... Oh.
421
00:20:59,667 --> 00:21:01,600
There's a swan
sitting over there.
422
00:21:01,667 --> 00:21:04,400
Oh, there's two, three, ducks.
423
00:21:05,767 --> 00:21:07,400
Oh, they look like mallards.
424
00:21:08,467 --> 00:21:09,567
Nice.
425
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,933
Whenever you go out hunting,
426
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,067
you always are optimistic
about bringing an animal back.
427
00:21:18,133 --> 00:21:19,667
I'm gonna see
if I can get a closer look
428
00:21:19,733 --> 00:21:21,200
at these ducks over here.
429
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,900
There's a good little spot
here to look.
430
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,100
All kinds of ducks.
431
00:21:38,167 --> 00:21:40,467
The good thing is,
I don't think they're
fish-eating ducks.
432
00:21:40,933 --> 00:21:42,100
This is a good spot.
433
00:21:42,167 --> 00:21:44,700
Lots of birds. Oh, shoot!
434
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,900
Fuck.
What just scared 'em all away?
435
00:21:48,967 --> 00:21:51,167
The eagle? Mother...
436
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,033
Something spooked them,
I think it was the eagle.
437
00:21:57,067 --> 00:21:58,567
Oh, motherfucker...
438
00:22:03,067 --> 00:22:04,367
While I was looking
at those ducks,
439
00:22:04,433 --> 00:22:06,567
something spooked 'em
which is a bummer.
440
00:22:06,633 --> 00:22:08,700
They all took off
and flew right past me,
441
00:22:08,767 --> 00:22:10,900
but I didn't have my gun.
I left it back there,
442
00:22:10,967 --> 00:22:13,767
so I didn't have to go
through the trees with it.
443
00:22:20,067 --> 00:22:23,533
There's two swans over there.
One disappeared somewhere,
444
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,433
the other one's over there
milling around in the grass.
445
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:28,467
I'm not looking
for a bird that big,
446
00:22:28,533 --> 00:22:30,233
but I'm also curious
on whether or not
447
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:31,500
there's a couple more birds
448
00:22:31,567 --> 00:22:34,167
tucked in that little
swampy area over there.
449
00:22:34,233 --> 00:22:36,000
So, go check it out.
450
00:22:50,867 --> 00:22:54,267
Came up on the swans,
they saw us and flew off.

452
00:23:16,167 --> 00:23:18,067
Oh, shoot.

00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,633
Oh, motherfucker!
454
00:23:23,667 --> 00:23:26,400
We came up on this mallard.
Couldn't tell where he was
455
00:23:26,467 --> 00:23:28,033
'cause there was kind
of a blind spot here,
456
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:30,133
he was hidden
behind all this grass.
457
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,733
Fuck!
458
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,433
I should have done
that way back there.
459
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,467
I put one in the chamber
and spooked him.
460
00:23:36,533 --> 00:23:38,767
Should have done it
back there.
461
00:23:38,833 --> 00:23:40,967
But, that's hunting.
462
00:23:41,633 --> 00:23:43,100
You can't always get lucky.
463
00:23:44,967 --> 00:23:46,933
There was a bunch
of ducks here.
464
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,100
It was a good spot,
465
00:23:48,167 --> 00:23:50,033
I was just never able
to connect with one.
466
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:52,300
We're gonna head
to a new place.
467
00:23:52,367 --> 00:23:53,733
I'm still optimistic.
468
00:23:59,067 --> 00:24:00,533
I definitely miss Erik.
469
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,467
We get along really well
and have a lot of fun,
470
00:24:02,533 --> 00:24:03,567
but, er...
471
00:24:05,467 --> 00:24:07,667
It's nice to be able to go out
and do things on your own,
472
00:24:09,333 --> 00:24:11,100
especially on a beautiful day
like this.
473
00:24:14,367 --> 00:24:18,067
So I just came out to these
little islands here
surrounding Rabbit Island.
474
00:24:18,133 --> 00:24:19,867
They're swarming
with seagulls.
475
00:24:19,933 --> 00:24:21,233
I figure
the last ditch effort,
476
00:24:21,300 --> 00:24:22,933
I'm gonna try to get
a couple of seagull eggs
477
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,433
before I go back home,
since I didn't get any ducks.
478
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:28,767
Weather's getting
pretty nasty,
479
00:24:28,833 --> 00:24:30,500
so I'm not gonna take my time.
480
00:24:30,567 --> 00:24:32,633
See if I can't find some eggs
and motor home.
481
00:24:35,767 --> 00:24:40,467
A seagull nest is usually
in the grass or in the rocks.
482
00:24:40,533 --> 00:24:43,267
Here's a nest,
but there's nothing in it.
483
00:24:43,333 --> 00:24:44,367
Keep looking.
484
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:53,233
Nice. Two seagull eggs.
485
00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:55,967
Since I didn't bring a basket
or a pail or anything with me,
486
00:24:56,033 --> 00:24:57,433
I'm gonna have
to use my jacket.
487
00:24:58,433 --> 00:25:00,167
Put a little bit
of grass in there.
488
00:25:01,267 --> 00:25:03,567
Growing up, it was always
exciting when summer came.
489
00:25:03,633 --> 00:25:04,933
You knew
that seagull egg-picking
490
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,633
was gonna be
right around the corner.
491
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:08,533
Found another egg.
492
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:11,767
There's all different shapes,
sizes, colours.
493
00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:13,767
Pretty exciting, I haven't
gone seagull egg-picking
494
00:25:13,833 --> 00:25:14,967
in a couple of years.
495
00:25:15,033 --> 00:25:16,967
Kind of makes you feel
like a kid again.
496
00:25:17,033 --> 00:25:19,967
Nice. I haven't found one
with three in 'em yet.
497
00:25:20,033 --> 00:25:22,433
I was a little bit
broken-hearted
498
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,033
by not getting any ducks
and bringing them home.
499
00:25:25,133 --> 00:25:26,400
This makes up for it.
500
00:25:28,533 --> 00:25:31,033
So these three make
exactly one dozen eggs.
501
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:32,633
It's about time
to get out of here
502
00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:34,333
because the wind's
starting to pick up.
503
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,633
I'm happy with what I got.
504
00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:39,500
I'm gonna pull out of here
505
00:25:39,567 --> 00:25:41,067
and go cook
these eggs up at home.
506
00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:47,400
CHIP: We're hunters.
It's a very satisfying
way to live.
507
00:25:47,467 --> 00:25:48,967
It's, er,
instant gratification.
508
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,000

509
00:25:56,067 --> 00:25:57,400
the Hailstones
turn their attention
510
00:25:57,467 --> 00:25:59,933
to harvesting flightless birds
for protein,
511
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,767
using a native hunting method.
512
00:26:04,767 --> 00:26:07,367
This isha hunt,
the moulting birds hunt,
513
00:26:07,433 --> 00:26:09,700
we just try to get
as much as we can
514
00:26:09,767 --> 00:26:10,967
and carry 'em
all back to the boat
515
00:26:11,033 --> 00:26:13,233
in however much
the girls can chase down,
516
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:15,967
and we're usually satisfied
with whatever they catch,
517
00:26:16,033 --> 00:26:19,333
and they know how to hunt
without using firearms.
518
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,100
So we don't damage
so much meat,
519
00:26:21,167 --> 00:26:22,733
you know, it's a good hunt.
520
00:26:24,167 --> 00:26:25,800
CHIP: That's all right,
keep your eyes open.
521
00:26:25,867 --> 00:26:27,200
We'll come up across 'em.
522
00:26:27,267 --> 00:26:30,133
We want adult geese,
we don't want baby ducks.
523
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:34,967
No birds.

531
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:57,833
You know, people
may not like clubbing,
532
00:26:57,900 --> 00:26:59,933
but we find
it's better than shooting.
533
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,533
When you're hunting 'em and
they're going by overhead
534
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:02,900
and you hit 'em,
and they're wounded,
535
00:27:02,967 --> 00:27:04,667
they have the potential
to fly for miles,
536
00:27:04,733 --> 00:27:06,433
die somewhere else
and never be used.
537
00:27:07,733 --> 00:27:09,133
When we're clubbin' 'em,
we're right there.
538
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,167
We get 'em or we don't.
We don't wound 'em.
539
00:27:11,233 --> 00:27:13,733
You kill them immediately.
540
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,567
When they're flying overhead
and you shoot 'em,
541
00:27:15,633 --> 00:27:17,300
you hit 'em
right where the meat is.
542
00:27:17,367 --> 00:27:19,800
In the breast, in the chest.
We don't wanna do that either.
543
00:27:19,867 --> 00:27:21,533
We want the meat,
so we hit them in the head.
544
00:27:22,933 --> 00:27:24,100
We waste no meat.
545
00:27:24,167 --> 00:27:26,200
We actually end up killing
fewer geese that way
546
00:27:26,267 --> 00:27:28,100
to get the same amount of meat
that we're lookin' for
547
00:27:28,167 --> 00:27:30,033
'cause the amount of food
you need doesn't change.
548
00:27:31,533 --> 00:27:36,100
There's one, two,
three, four, five,

Ten flightless ducks.
551
00:27:44,133 --> 00:27:45,667
Well, this is good enough,
let's put these in the boat
552
00:27:45,733 --> 00:27:47,800

JESSIE: All the hard work
that I do for the dogs
560
00:28:06,567 --> 00:28:08,133
ties into me being strong.
561
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,133
They work for me
but I work for them.
562
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,633
What I got here
is I got some plywood,
563
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:16,367
some rough-cut 2x4s
564
00:28:16,433 --> 00:28:18,067
and I'm gonna start
laying this out.
565
00:28:18,133 --> 00:28:23,067
My goal here
is to be efficient
with my materials, you know,
566
00:28:23,133 --> 00:28:25,267
and try to make my doghouses
567
00:28:25,333 --> 00:28:28,100
out of one sheet of plywood,
per doghouse.
568
00:28:28,167 --> 00:28:29,367
(SAW WHIRRING)
569
00:28:31,633 --> 00:28:32,967
When winter comes,
you gotta constantly
570
00:28:33,033 --> 00:28:35,667
maintain your dogs' houses.
Clean 'em out once a week.
571
00:28:35,733 --> 00:28:38,333
Trying to set the house up
to where it's easy to do that,
572
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,500
very functionable,
I need the door up high,
573
00:28:40,567 --> 00:28:42,000
so the straw stays in there
574
00:28:42,067 --> 00:28:43,633
and they're not
draggin' the straw out.
575
00:28:46,933 --> 00:28:50,000
So to finish that up,
I'll use a hand saw,
576
00:28:50,067 --> 00:28:52,400
that way I can keep a nice,
clean cut.
577
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:54,867
I got a feelin' that the dogs
578
00:28:54,933 --> 00:28:56,900
are gonna be pretty
excited about this.
579
00:28:56,967 --> 00:28:58,067
This is the time of year
580
00:28:58,133 --> 00:28:59,967
you gotta get everything
done in Alaska,
581
00:29:00,033 --> 00:29:02,500
'cause winter's comin',
you can smell it in the air,
582
00:29:02,567 --> 00:29:06,300
the fireweed's starting
to lose all its flowers
and bloom,
583
00:29:06,367 --> 00:29:09,267
so time's comin',
the dogs gotta have houses,
584
00:29:09,333 --> 00:29:10,633
they gotta be dry.
585
00:29:13,367 --> 00:29:14,467
Okay, what I'm gonna do next
586
00:29:14,533 --> 00:29:16,633
is get my 2x4s
measured out and cut,
587
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:17,833
and I'm gonna
slap one together
588
00:29:17,900 --> 00:29:19,467
and make sure
my design's sound.
589
00:29:19,533 --> 00:29:22,267
I don't ever really go off
a plan or a blueprint.
590
00:29:22,333 --> 00:29:24,567
I just got it in my mind
what I wanna do,
591
00:29:24,633 --> 00:29:26,467
and it's just playin'
with numbers
592
00:29:26,533 --> 00:29:27,900
and layin' things out.
593
00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:32,767
This has kind of worked.
It's a real good investment,
594
00:29:32,833 --> 00:29:34,100
you know, in my dogs.
595
00:29:35,233 --> 00:29:36,267
In the end, you know,
596
00:29:36,333 --> 00:29:38,100
these doghouses
are gonna cost me money,
597
00:29:38,167 --> 00:29:41,367
but to buy the same kind
of doghouses built,
598
00:29:41,433 --> 00:29:43,100
it's $100, you know?

Big part of being
a dog musher is, you know,
600
00:29:47,433 --> 00:29:48,467
you got all these dogs
601
00:29:48,533 --> 00:29:51,500
and they're very
dependent on you, so...
602
00:29:51,567 --> 00:29:54,267
To be willing to put them
before your needs
a lot of times,
603
00:29:54,333 --> 00:29:56,433
so, like, while there's
my house,
604
00:29:56,500 --> 00:29:59,267
it's pretty rough and needs
a lot of maintenance,
605
00:29:59,333 --> 00:30:01,800

you gotta love mushing,
you gotta love the lifestyle
609

'cause you're gonna sacrifice
a lot in your life.
610
00:30:11,167 --> 00:30:13,067
I wouldn't do this stuff if
I didn't love it, you know,

we try to harvest
our own meat, eggs, berries,
679
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,433
anything we can get,
we harvest it.
680
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,067
I try to eat as much
of the native food as I can.
681
00:33:28,133 --> 00:33:29,667
That was how
my palate developed,
682
00:33:29,733 --> 00:33:33,767
I ate a lot of seal oil
and frozen fish,
683
00:33:33,833 --> 00:33:36,967
seagull eggs, caribou, moose,
all of that growing up.
684
00:33:38,267 --> 00:33:40,133
That's just what
my body was used to.
685
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:46,300
So, how was your day
gettin' these eggs?
686
00:33:46,367 --> 00:33:47,667
MARTHA: Good. I had a blast.
687
00:33:47,733 --> 00:33:49,933
Was there as many seagull eggs
as there usually are?
688
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,267
There was quite a bit,
I didn't really go
too far for 'em.
689
00:33:52,333 --> 00:33:54,500
I kind of stayed on this
little patch of islands
690
00:33:54,567 --> 00:33:57,467
that I just kind of hopped
from island to island on.
691
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,600
-ERIK: These are really good.
-Yeah.
692
00:33:59,667 --> 00:34:01,033
ERIK: I really
like seagull eggs.
693
00:34:02,367 --> 00:34:05,233
Today, we made money
from guiding fishermen,
694
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:08,467
and then we made food from you
collecting these eggs.
695
00:34:08,533 --> 00:34:10,933
Yeah, we're lucky to do
what we do out here.
696
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,067
-We live a very blessed life.
-Mmm-hmm.
697
00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:15,600
ERIK: Alaska will provide.
698
00:34:15,667 --> 00:34:17,133
All you gotta do
is work for it.
699
00:34:21,067 --> 00:34:23,167
SUE: All the good intentions
fly out the window
700
00:34:23,233 --> 00:34:26,900
when old Mother Nature decides
to rule with an iron fist.
701
00:34:34,933 --> 00:34:37,500
NARRATOR: In order to pick up
her weaponry in Fairbanks,
702
00:34:37,567 --> 00:34:39,800
Sue left Kavik in the care
of her nephew, Jesse,
703
00:34:39,867 --> 00:34:41,467
and needs to return home.
704
00:34:42,267 --> 00:34:45,333
SUE: Weather's not good,
but we're gonna try to get in.
705
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,067
We're into a winter weather
pattern up on the north slope.
706
00:34:48,133 --> 00:34:50,733
Caribou have all migrated out
about a month ago,
707
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,267
geese are headin' south,
it's way early.
708
00:34:53,333 --> 00:34:54,867
But the fog bank comes in,
709
00:34:54,933 --> 00:34:56,733
so that's what we're fighting
is the fog.
710
00:34:57,967 --> 00:35:00,433
NARRATOR: The fog
that may prevent her
from landing in Kavik
711
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:03,200
could also spell danger
for the inexperienced Jesse
712
00:35:03,267 --> 00:35:04,733
on the ground at camp.
713
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,500
This is one
of my pride and joys.
714
00:35:08,567 --> 00:35:10,400
Extremely hard to replace.
715
00:35:10,467 --> 00:35:12,967
Custom thing. Baby it.
716
00:35:13,033 --> 00:35:15,533
I've got 500 miles
to go in land.
717
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,767
If it's not good there,
I can't get in.
718
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:21,133
PILOT: Clear.
719

(ENGINE STARTING)
720
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:30,600
SUE: Just because
you want to go to Kavik,
721
00:35:30,667 --> 00:35:32,267
doesn't mean Mother Nature's
gonna let you.

Yeah.
726
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:59,500
So, this is basically
just the fog occlusion
727
00:35:59,567 --> 00:36:01,667
that we were talking about is.
728
00:36:01,733 --> 00:36:03,233
It can be beautiful
everywhere else,
729
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:05,067
but you get close
to the Arctic Ocean
730
00:36:05,133 --> 00:36:07,533
and that fog bank sets in.
731
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,833
So what's happening,
you got your ground here,
732
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:13,300
1000 foot higher,
you start your fog bank.
733
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,700
Well, you got
1000 foot of that,
734
00:36:15,767 --> 00:36:18,867
we have to find a place
to come under safely.
735
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:21,233
It's thick enough
you can't just pop through it,
736
00:36:21,300 --> 00:36:22,633
you can't see through it.
737
00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:26,233
If we can't do that,
bye-bye Kavik,
738
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:28,000
hello trying to get
into Deadhorse.
739
00:36:28,433 --> 00:36:31,233
I'm 10 miles from Kavik
and I may have to end up
740
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:33,633
goin' 100 miles that way
and wait it out.
741
00:36:36,967 --> 00:36:38,567
PILOT: Those spots
are definitely getting thinner
742
00:36:38,633 --> 00:36:40,500
as we get closer and closer.
743
00:36:42,667 --> 00:36:44,300
Uh, looks pretty good
over there.
744
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,533
Got a nice clear area.
745
00:36:48,067 --> 00:36:52,233
Come down in elevation,
get underneath the cloud,
746
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:56,200
so we can go, you know,
twirl down and get in there.
747
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,467
So now we're down into that.
748
00:37:10,533 --> 00:37:12,067
Just put me down here,
I'll walk.

Cool, man. Finally, got here.
757
00:37:37,233 --> 00:37:39,600
Careful with the wing.
I love ya.
758
00:37:42,567 --> 00:37:44,100
I'm back home.
759
00:37:44,167 --> 00:37:45,833
Yup, yup, yup.
Time to get to work.
760
00:37:50,167 --> 00:37:51,700
Oh, wow. Right over there,
761
00:37:51,767 --> 00:37:53,767
I've got a white wolf
50 yards out.
762
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,167
I got a wolf.

00:38:07,733 --> 00:38:09,733
Yo! Whoa!
766
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,467
Yeah, I'm lookin' at you!
767
00:38:11,533 --> 00:38:13,367
I don't have any desire
to kill it.
768
00:38:13,433 --> 00:38:14,667
It's not attacking me,
769
00:38:14,733 --> 00:38:16,567
I just need him
not to be on my turf.
770
00:38:17,633 --> 00:38:19,667
You need to be gone! Hey!
771
00:38:22,367 --> 00:38:23,900
This is not your camp.
772
00:38:25,567 --> 00:38:26,800
The way the wolves hunt,
773
00:38:26,867 --> 00:38:29,133
they throw the betas out here
to grab your attention,
774
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,667
and it's the alphas back here
that get your back side.

-He's right there.
-(GUNSHOT FIRED)
776
00:38:36,733 --> 00:38:38,100
Fired a shot this way.
777
00:38:38,167 --> 00:38:41,033
Just to make noise
and get that wolf moving.
778
00:38:41,733 --> 00:38:43,667
That's a nice-sized
fuckin' wolf, man.
779

This just proved its worth.

The only thing you know
for certain out here
781
00:38:55,867 --> 00:38:57,367
is you don't know
nothin' for certain.
782
00:38:58,833 --> 00:39:00,400
But I can protect my turf.

comes down to

00:39:08,167 --> 00:39:09,567

to stay up here.

We even got one
for you, puppy.
788
00:39:18,433 --> 00:39:19,500
We sure did.
789
00:39:23,033 --> 00:39:26,500
Wow, we have enough greens
and enough ducks for dinner.
790
00:39:28,267 --> 00:39:29,500
CHIP: You girls wanna
take care of those ducks,
791
00:39:29,567 --> 00:39:31,700
and if your mom wants to clean
up a pot full of greens,
792
00:39:31,767 --> 00:39:33,733
I'll get the alders
fired into here
793
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,000
and we can start up
some dinner, huh?
794
00:39:38,833 --> 00:39:41,000
We like alders and cottonwood
for cooking fires.
795
00:39:41,067 --> 00:39:43,400
They impart a really
nice taste and flavour.
796
00:39:43,467 --> 00:39:46,267
And this fire
was started with stumps.
797
00:39:46,333 --> 00:39:47,600
The stumps are full of pitch,
798
00:39:47,667 --> 00:39:50,300
and if you want your food
to taste like pine pitch,
799
00:39:50,367 --> 00:39:51,600
then cook on it.
800
00:39:51,667 --> 00:39:53,467
I'm gonna let these alders
burn down to coals,
801
00:39:53,533 --> 00:39:54,767
then we'll be able
to roast 'em.
802
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,133
AGNES: Right now,
we're plucking ducks.
803
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,433
What we do is just
take all the feathers off
804
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:02,533
and cut the wings off,
cut the heads off,
805
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,633
cut the feet off.
806
00:40:03,700 --> 00:40:07,100
I am taking the tail,
the feet,
807
00:40:07,167 --> 00:40:08,967
the wings, and the head off.
808
00:40:10,067 --> 00:40:11,733

We get to eat today
and eat tomorrow.

this is what we work towards.
820
00:40:36,233 --> 00:40:37,367
Instead of getting a paycheck
821
00:40:37,433 --> 00:40:39,100
and then going and buying
food at the store,
822
00:40:39,167 --> 00:40:40,300
we went out and got the ducks.
823
00:40:40,367 --> 00:40:41,633
We went out
and got the greens.
824
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:43,800
And these, right now,
are the flavour of the season.
825
00:40:43,867 --> 00:40:46,033
These are like having turkey
at Thanksgiving for us.
826
00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:47,767
It's natural, it's healthy,
it's organic.
827
00:40:47,833 --> 00:40:49,433
And we had a great adventure
getting it.
828
00:40:54,167 --> 00:40:55,467
AGNES: A job well done, girls.
829
00:40:55,533 --> 00:40:57,200
We get to eat
what we catch today
830
00:40:57,267 --> 00:41:00,533
and sleep real good,
and start all over again,
tomorrow.
831
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,333

and you can take your kids
832
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,467
to go do the same thing,
833
00:41:03,533 --> 00:41:05,933
and you don't even need
no firearms or nothing.
834
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,033
Need to know where to go
835
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:09,067
and what time of the year
to go there.
836
00:41:09,533 --> 00:41:11,667
You'll notice
the bird stop flying.
837
00:41:11,733 --> 00:41:13,633
Look in them creeks,
look along them lakes.
838
00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:15,633
You guys did
really good, today.
839
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:17,433
It was fun to sit back,
watch the boat,
840
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:19,300
and watch you guys
go pick up the dead ones.
841
00:41:19,367 --> 00:41:20,633
That was a lot of fun.
842
00:41:20,700 --> 00:41:22,267

00:41:37,333 --> 00:41:38,433
Like I have
to like be thinking
849
00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:40,067
four steps ahead,
all the time.
850
00:41:46,433 --> 00:41:48,200
The last piece
for the last doghouse.
851
00:41:56,833 --> 00:41:58,100
Lot of new houses goin',
852
00:41:58,167 --> 00:42:01,100
got some leftover materials
I'm gonna keep
853
00:42:01,167 --> 00:42:03,400
for whenever I do
the next side of the yard.
854
00:42:03,467 --> 00:42:07,267
But this was a big job,
and great to get it done,
855
00:42:07,333 --> 00:42:08,800
see my dogs all have houses.
856
00:42:11,233 --> 00:42:13,367
Let me get your floor
in there for ya.
857
00:42:13,433 --> 00:42:15,700
Yeah, you got yourself
a nice new house, huh?
858
00:42:19,733 --> 00:42:22,667
Check it out, huh?
What you think?
859
00:42:22,733 --> 00:42:24,433
See they're really happy
with the new houses,
860
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:25,867
jumpin' all over 'em.
861
00:42:26,433 --> 00:42:28,400
Gettin' in 'em, they'll really
appreciate it come wintertime
862
00:42:28,467 --> 00:42:29,933
-when it gets cold.
-(BARKING)
863
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,900
You know, to a lot of people,
this would seem
like hard work,
864
00:42:31,967 --> 00:42:33,733
this is a labour of love
for me, you know.
865
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:34,967
It's what I do, you know,
866
00:42:35,033 --> 00:42:37,633
I love these dogs
and they depend on me,
867
00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:40,533
so when I work hard and
take care of things they need,
868
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,033
you know, that's
the main thing I'm about.
869
00:42:44,267 --> 00:42:46,200
Feels great to see
all this go towards them.
870
00:42:46,267 --> 00:42:47,767
For 20 bucks
worth of material,
871
00:42:47,833 --> 00:42:50,800
I built a house that other
people sell for $100.
872
00:42:50,867 --> 00:42:52,633
I mean, I can't afford
to do that out here.
873
00:42:52,700 --> 00:42:53,700
That's not what I'm about.
874
00:42:53,767 --> 00:42:55,533
It's a lot of work to do
for one guy,
875
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,567
but, you know,
I like being tired.
876
00:42:57,633 --> 00:42:59,667
I like knowing that I worked
at the end of the day.
877
00:42:59,733 --> 00:43:02,467
So, that's a rewarding
feeling to me, to be tired.
878
00:43:03,167 --> 00:43:04,633
Means I gave everything.
