SUE AIKENS: DID YOU GET
THE JET FUEL THIS TIME?

MAN: CHECK-CHECK.

SUE AIKENS: ALL RIGHTY, BUDDY,
I'LL SEE YOU IN A FEW MINUTES.

FUEL PLANE CAME IN.

THE LAST
FUEL OF THE SEASON.

IT REPRESENTS WRAPPING
UP EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DONE

SINCE THE LAST SNOW MELTED,
SINCE THE SPRING CAME.

SEEING THE PLANES IS
ALWAYS ONE OF MY BIGGEST JOYS.

BUT IT'S ALSO
SIGNALING THE END OF ONE ERA;

THE ISSUING IN OF THE NEXT.

WINTER IS ONE
COLD HARD BITCH.

MY NAME IS SUSAN AIKENS.

I AM THE SOLE RESIDENT AND
CARETAKER OF KAVIK RIVER CAMP,

UP ON THE NORTH
SLOPE OF ALASKA.

I'M ABOUT 500 MILES
FROM THE CLOSEST BIG CITY,

15 MILES FROM
THE ARCTIC OCEAN.

KAVIK IS A SAFETY ZONE,
A PLACE TO GET FOOD,

A PLACE TO GET HEAT,
A PLACE TO COMMUNICATE.

THAT'S THE
MAIN GOAL OF KAVIK.

WHEN I FIRST
GOT HERE, I CRIED.

THAT WAS MY
FIRST REACTION.

THERE WAS SO MUCH TO DO.

BUT I'VE WORKED AT
IT AND I'VE MORPHED IT,

AND I'VE BECOME IT.

IT'S ONE OF THE LAST
BITS OF REAL ESTATE THAT YOU

CAN GO TO THAT'S NOT TAME.

IT'S NOT BEEN
GROOMED TO FIT A POSTCARD.

IT'S WILD.

THE ABSENCE OF SOCIETY
GAVE ME THE NURTURING

THAT SOCIETY NEVER DID.

THIS IS THE ALONE
TIME THAT I CRAVE.

THIS IS THE TIME
WHERE I CAN SAY, "HEY,

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE
ADVENTURE FOR ME?"

HAVE A GOOD WINTER.

PILOT: YEAH.

SUE AIKENS:
THANK YOU, GUYS.

I'M DONE WITH
MY SUMMER CYCLE.

I'M DONE WITH
MY PEOPLE CYCLE,

AND NOW IT'S THE GLORY OF,
THIS IS ALL GONNA BE DARKNESS,

SNOW, AND COLD.

LIKE ANY ANIMAL, YOU
GET PREPARED FOR THE WINTER,

OR YOU DON'T MAKE
IT THROUGH THE WINTER.

♪ [THEME MUSIC PLAYING]. ♪

NOW THAT THE FUEL
PLANE HAS LANDED,

I'VE GOT ENOUGH
FUEL FOR THE WINTER.

MY CHORES ARE DONE.

CAMP IS SECURE.

I FEEL SOLID ABOUT
WHERE KAVIK IS AT RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS MY TIME,
I WANNA TAKE IT.

I WANNA GO HAVE
SOME ADVENTURE.

I'VE BEEN APPROVED
FEDERAL SUBSISTENCE,

SO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
SAID, "YOU'RE GOOD TO GO, SUE.

HERE'S YOUR TAGS,
HERE'S YOUR BOOK.

YOU CAN GO
HUNT IN THE REFUGE."

ONE OF THE MOST TALKED ABOUT
PIECES OF REAL ESTATE ON THIS

BLUE PLANET IS THE ARCTIC
NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE.

IT'S 10 MILES AWAY.

THERE'S NOT A
ROAD GOING THROUGH IT.

I'VE GOTTA
TAKE AN AIRPLANE.

THIS IS
A DANGEROUS PLACE.

IT'S NATURE IN
ITS PUREST FORM.

YOU'VE GOT SOME OF
THE TALLEST MOUNTAINS,

SOME OF THE LONGEST RIVERS,
SOME OF THE MOST BRUTAL

CONDITIONS, AND SOME OF
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENERY.

AND FOR MY PERSONALITY,
THAT'S LIKE GOING TO CHURCH.

SO FOR ME, I'M GONNA BE
DOING POSSIBLY SHEEP, BEAR,

WOLVERINE, WOLF, LYNX.

THAT'S AN AREA
I CAN FIND LYNX.

IT'LL JUST BE ME,
THE NORTHERN LIGHTS,

AND MAYBE SOME SPOOKY ANIMALS,
MAYBE SOME FUN ANIMALS.

I DON'T KNOW WHICH, BUT I'VE
GOT TO BE PREPARED FOR IT ALL.

SO, I'VE GOT MY WEAPONS.

LONG RANGE, SHORT
RANGE, BIG GAME, SMALL GAME.

I SURVIVE OFF THE GAME MEAT
FOR 10 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR.

REFUGE, HERE I COME.

AGNES HAILSTONE: IT'S
GONNA BE A LONG, COLD WINTER,

BUT THAT'S WHY WE
CONSTANTLY PREPARE.

HELLO, GIRLS.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE: HI, MOM.

AGNES HAILSTONE: THANK
YOU, I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIX

THIS RACK UP.

I THINK WE NEED
TO GO FILL IT UP.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE: YEAH.

AGNES HAILSTONE:
IT'S REAL EMPTY.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE:
PRETTY EMPTY RACKS, HUH?

AGNES HAILSTONE: YUP.

SO IT'S ALMOST WINTER AND
THE CARIBOU IS STARTING TO GET

INTO RUT, SO THIS IS THE
TIME OF THE YEAR WHERE WE

HAVE TO GO DO OUR
ONCE-A-YEAR CARIBOU HUNT.

READY THEN,
LET'S GO HUNTING.

I'M AGNES HAILSTONE
AND I'M 100% INUPIAT.

I'M FROM NOORVIK, ALASKA.

I LIVE HERE WITH
MY FIVE DAUGHTERS.

I'M MARRIED
TO CHIP HAILSTONE.

I LIVE A TRADITIONAL
LIFESTYLE AND I TRY TO TEACH

MY FIVE DAUGHTERS
THE SAME WAY OF LIVING.

WE LOVE TO HUNT, FISH,
GATHER, AND BE ACTIVE OUTDOORS.

I LOVE TRAVELING AROUND THE
WHOLE AREA AND I LOVE DOING IT

WITH MY FAMILY.

EVEN THOUGH YOUR DAD'S
GONE, EVEN THOUGH HE'S GONE,

WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING
AND WHERE THE CARIBOU ARE,

AND IT'S TIME TO GO HUNTING,
AND EVEN CHIP'S NOT HERE,

WE'RE JUST GONNA
HAVE TO GO WITHOUT HIM.

NARRATOR: AGNES HAILSTONE'S
HUSBAND CHIP RECENTLY TURNED

HIMSELF OVER TO THE
ANCHORAGE CORRECTIONAL COMPLEX

TO SERVE A
15-MONTH SENTENCE.

CHIP HAILSTONE: I GOT
CONVICTED OF TWO PERJURY,

AND TWO FALSE REPORTS, SO
I DID THREE YEARS OF PROBATION,

AND I HAVE TO DO TIME
FOR THE TWO MISDEMEANORS.

GOTTA GO WHEN YOU GOTTA GO.

YOU GUYS ARE IN
CAPABLE HANDS OF EACH OTHER.

YOU GUYS ALL
KNOW WHAT TO DO.

AGNES HAILSTONE:
THERE'S HIS PLANE.

CHIP HAILSTONE:
LOVE YOU, GIRLS.

AGNES HAILSTONE: WITH
THE GIRLS BEHIND ME,

THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS
WHOLE THING A LOT EASIER.

EVEN THOUGH IT'S A
(BLEEP) THING TO DO,

TO GO BRING MY
HUSBAND TO THE AIRPORT AND

SEND HIM OFF TO JAIL.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE: I LOVE YA.

CHIP HAILSTONE: BYE-BYE,
GOODBYE, I'LL SEE YOU.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE:
I LOVE YOU, DAD!

CHIP HAILSTONE:
LOVE YOU, BUNS.

QUTAN HAILSTONE:
LOVE YOU, DAD!

CHIP HAILSTONE:
SEE YOU, AGNES.

CAROL HAILSTONE:
BE CAREFUL.

NARRATOR: WITHOUT HER
HUSBAND AND HUNTING PARTNER,

AGNES AND THE GIRLS WILL
HAVE TO RELY ON EACH OTHER TO

PROVIDE MEAT AND PROTEIN
FOR THE FAMILY'S SURVIVAL.

WITH WINTER ON THE HORIZON,
AND ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT TO

HUNT BULL CARIBOU AS THEY
MIGRATE THROUGH THE AREA,

TIME IS CRUCIAL.

AGNES HAILSTONE: IT'S WEIRD
GOING OUT HUNTING WITH ONLY

US GIRLS,
BUT WE CAN DO THIS.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE: READY
TO GO CATCH SOME CARIBOU?

AGNES HAILSTONE: MY MEAT
RACK IS TOTALLY EMPTY AND

IT'S ALMOST WINTER.

HOPEFULLY, BY THE TIME
I'M DONE WITH THIS HUNT,

I'LL HAVE AT LEAST
FIVE OR SIX CARIBOU,

AND THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO CUT
MEAT ALL WINTER FOR US GIRLS.

THERE'S BEEN A WHOLE
HERD OF CARIBOU CROSSING,

TRYING TO HEAD SOUTH, SO
WE'RE GONNA GO SEE IF WE COULD

SCORE A FEW CARIBOU BULLS.

THE GIRLS AND I PLAN TO
HUNT THE CARIBOU WHILE

THEY'RE CROSSING THE RIVER.

IT'S A SAFE AND EFFICIENT WAY
FOR US TO GET THIS HUNT DONE.

OH, I SEE A CARIBOU
OVER THERE ALREADY, WHOO!

GIRLS, THEY'RE ALREADY HERE.

KEEP STILL,
GIRLS, KEEP STILL.

THERE ARE NO BULLS.

THOSE ARE COWS, AND CALVES, SO
WE'RE JUST GONNA LET THOSE GO.

THIS SEEMS TO BE A GOOD PLACE
WHERE THE CARIBOU ARE CROSSING.

SO WHEN WE SEE A CARIBOU
GETTING READY TO CROSS,

WE ALWAYS JUST KILL
OUR MOTOR AND JUST DRIFT

AND WAIT FOR THE
CARIBOU TO GET INTO THE WATER,

AND THEN WE WILL GO AFTER
THEM ONCE THEY HIT THE MIDDLE

AND WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO CHOOSE AND GO AROUND THEM.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE:
NO BULLS, MOM.

AGNES HAILSTONE:
NO BULLS, OKAY.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE:
NO BULLS.

AGNES HAILSTONE: WE'RE
JUST GONNA PASS THEM

AND LET THEM GO, OKAY?

I MEAN, WE'VE SEEN
SOME COWS AND CALVES,

BUT WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED
IN THE BULLS, THE FAT BULLS,

SO WE JUST LET THE
COWS AND CALVES GO.

WE HAVEN'T COME
ACROSS ANYTHING ELSE,

SO PRETTY MUCH THE HERD MUST
BE CLOSER TO NOORVIK AND WE'RE

KIND OF FAR UP THE RIVER,
SO WE'RE JUST GONNA HEAD BACK

DOWNRIVER,
GO TOWARDS NOORVIK.

WE'RE GONNA TRY AGAIN
TOMORROW, AND THE NEXT DAY,

BECAUSE WE HAVE ONLY A
FEW DAYS LEFT BEFORE THE BULL

CARIBOU ACTUALLY GO INTO RUT.

WE NEED TO GO GET ENOUGH MEAT
TO START US OFF FOR THE WINTER.

THANK YOU, GIRLS,
FOR BEING SO TOUGH.

JESSIE HOLMES: YOU DON'T RUN
AROUND CHASING THE DOLLAR BILL.

YOU RUN AROUND
CHASING THE RESOURCES.

I GOT 47 DOGS TO
KEEP THROUGH THIS WINTER.

HERE, I GOT 100 FISH.

THIS ISN'T GONNA LAST ME
BUT A WEEK FEEDING THE DOGS.

I NEED NEAR 3,000 TO BE ABLE
TO FEED THEM THROUGH THE WINTER.

I GOT A FRIEND WHO'S GONNA
LET ME USE HIS FISH WHEEL,

MINE'S SMASHED, DESTROYED.

I'VE BEEN KIND OF LIMPING IT
ALONG ON ITS LAST LEG FOR THE

LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HERE,
SO I TIED IT UP DOWNRIVER.

GETTING THIS BOAT AND
MOTOR GOING IS ESSENTIAL

AND CRUCIAL
TO MY OPERATION.

THIS BOAT'S
PRETTY MUCH NEW.

SPENT WEEKS GETTING IT
DONE JUST SO I COULD BE OUT

HERE FISHING, AND THEN,
OF COURSE, THE MOTOR BLEW UP.

THAT'S HOW IT GOES SOMETIMES,
BUT I'M NOT GONNA GIVE UP.

MY NAME IS JESSIE HOLMES.

I'M ORIGINALLY
FROM ALABAMA.

I NOW RESIDE
IN NENANA, ALASKA.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A
GOOD-HEARTED PERSON, BUT,

YOU KNOW, I GOT MYSELF
AROUND SOME OF THE WRONG

PEOPLE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
AND I WAS KIND OF LOST AND,

MOVING UP HERE TO ALASKA
AND FINDING THE RIVERS AND

THE MOUNTAINS AND THE
DOGS, THEY REDEEMED ME.

MADE ME LEARN HOW
TO BE RESPONSIBLE.

THEY GAVE ME
SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR.

WITH ME HAVING 47 DOGS,
LIFE ISN'T ABOUT LUXURY

OR A VACATION.

ALL THE
MONEY GOES INTO THEM.

I CAN'T REALLY AFFORD TO
HAVE RUNNING WATER, ELECTRICITY.

IT'S A REWARDING FEELING AT
THE END OF THE DAY TO DIG DEEP,

AND SACRIFICE ALL MY OWN
PERSONAL NEEDS FOR THESE DOGS.

WHEN I THINK OF FAMILY, I
THINK OF MY ALASKAN FAMILY AND

ALL THE PEOPLE WHO'VE ADOPTED
ME ALONG THE WAY, INSPIRED ME,

AND SEEN THE
GOOD THINGS IN ME,

AND HELPED BUILD ME UP
INSTEAD OF TEAR ME DOWN.

NOW THIS THING'S
GONNA BE MOUNTED ON,

AND I CAN MOVE ON TO
GETTING THIS ALL HOOKED UP

AND ALL THE CONNECTIONS.

I GOTTA BUILD A
STEERING CONSOLE.

THERE AIN'T NO WAY TO
GET THESE JOBS DONE WITHOUT

GETTING YOUR HANDS DIRTY.

THIS IS NOT A
PERFECTLY CLEAN LIFESTYLE,

DEALING WITH FISH,
MOTORS, WOOD.

LAST PRIORITY I GOT IS A
WARM SHOWER IN THE EVENING.

I'M LUCKY TO GET A
WARM SHOWER ONCE A MONTH.

IF I CAN GET THIS ALL
TOGETHER AND GET DOWN HERE TO

THIS WHEEL, I MIGHT BE ABLE
TO PUT UP A FEW THOUSAND FISH,

WHICH IS
EXACTLY WHAT I NEED.

DROPPING THE BOAT IN,
HOPING IT STARTS RIGHT UP,

'CAUSE IT'D BE GREAT TO MAKE
IT DOWN TO THE FISH WHEEL AND

GET IT STARTED RIGHT NOW.

STILL GOT DAYLIGHT.

[ENGINE SPUTTERING]

I DON'T LIKE
THAT SOUND, MAN.

THAT SOUNDS (BLEEP) UP.

(BLEEP), (BLEEP), (BLEEP),
IT'S JUST DYING OUT.

IT'S NOT GOING,
IT'S NOT GOOD THOUGH.

I'M IN A HURRY TO GET THIS ALL
DONE 'CAUSE I'M RACING AGAINST

TIME AND THE WEATHER, BUT IF
I'M IN TOO MUCH OF A HURRY AND

I DO SOMETHING WRONG,
IT COULD REALLY COST ME OUT

THERE ON THE WATER.

I'D KINDA BE IN A PRETTY
JEOPARDOUS SITUATION IF I

SPENT ALL THIS MONEY AND
I DON'T GET TO GET THESE FISH.

♪ ♪

THIS IS REALLY BAD
DEAL FOR ME BECAUSE I NEED

TO GET THESE FISH.

SOUNDS LIKE
CYLINDERS CLINKING,

WHICH IS SOMETHING I
CAN'T FIX AND IS A MAJOR DEAL.

I JUST LOST A LOT
OF MONEY ON THIS MOTOR.

A LOT OF TIME,
TIME'S EVERYTHING UP HERE.

I MEAN, I'M GONNA HAVE
TO ASK SOMEBODY FOR HELP HERE.

I GOT TO KIND OF GO
TO SLEEP ON THIS 'CAUSE

IT'S GETTING LATE.

I GOT TO GO FEED THE DOGS,
FIGURE OUT WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

GLENN VILLENEUVE:
FEAR IS A GOOD THING.

IT CAN PROTECT YOU,
BUT IT CAN HINDER YOU, TOO.

WHAT I FEAR IS JUST
LETTING LIFE PASS BY WITHOUT

REALLY LIVING
IT TO THE FULLEST.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS
TREE UP HERE BEHIND THE CABIN.

IT'S DEAD.

IT'S GOT A
BAD LEAN IN IT.

IT COULD GET BLOWN DOWN
WHEN THE WIND COMES UP.

I'VE HAD A FEW TREES FALL
DOWN RIGHT HERE IN THE YARD.

THAT THING HIT THE CABIN,
THAT'D BE TERRIBLE.

GONNA HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THAT TREE IS
GONNA HAVE TO GO.

MY NAME IS
GLENN VILLENEUVE.

I LIVE UP IN THE BROOKS
RANGE, NORTHERN ALASKA.

200 MILES FROM
THE NEAREST CITY.

I GREW UP IN VERMONT,
RUNNING AROUND IN THE WOODS

AND THE MOUNTAINS
WHEN I WAS A KID.

I ALWAYS LIKED THAT.

I GOT THIS
IDEA 20 YEARS AGO.

I WANTED TO LEARN TO
LIVE OUT IN THE WILDERNESS.

I DECIDED TO
MOVE UP TO ALASKA,

BUT IT TOOK A LOT
OF TIME TO GET HERE.

I DIDN'T COME OUT HERE
TO GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE,

I GOT OUT HERE TO
GET CLOSER TO NATURE,

TO GET CLOSER TO THE
ANIMALS, THE WILDLIFE.

THERE ARE NOT MANY PLACES
WHERE YOU CAN LIVE LIKE THIS,

AND IT DEMANDS A
LOT OF COMPETENCE.

WHEN I FIRST CAME OUT HERE,

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I
WAS DOING, IT TOOK TIME.

THIS IS THE MOST
WILD, THE MOST EXTREME,

THE MOST REMOTE PLACE I
COULD FIND TO LIVE IN THE WORLD.

AND I LOVE IT OUT HERE.

I DON'T HAVE
TO LIVE THIS WAY.

IF I WANTED TO, I
COULD DO SOMETHING ELSE.

I DO IT
BECAUSE I ENJOY IT.

I LIKE TO TRY THINGS OUT,
I LIKE TO PUSH MYSELF.

IT KEEPS
LIFE INTERESTING.

YOU GOT TO STAY ON
YOUR TOES OUT HERE.

I'LL HAVE TO
CUT THIS TREE.

AND IF I DO IT JUST RIGHT,
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT TO

FALL RIGHT DOWN HERE
WITHOUT DOING ANY DAMAGE.

IT SHOULD MISS THE CABIN.

I'LL START OFF BY JUST
CLEANING OFF THE BARK.

IT'S BETTER FOR THE
SAW IF I DON'T HAVE TO CUT

THROUGH THE BARK WITH IT.

THIS TREE IS
GONNA BE USEFUL TO ME.

I'M GONNA MAKE
FIREWOOD OUT OF IT.

I'M GONNA GET
TINDER OUT OF IT.

I'LL GET SOME SPRUCE PITCH
TO HELP ME START FIRES, TOO.

I'LL EVEN BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME
USEFUL THINGS OUT OF THE BASE.

IF I HAD A CHAINSAW,

LIFE WOULD BE A
LITTLE EASIER SOMETIMES.

IT ISN'T EASY CUTTING A
TREE LIKE THIS DOWN WITH AN AXE.

IF I WANTED THINGS EASY,
I WOULDN'T BE LIVING OUT HERE.

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, YOU
DON'T WANNA SPEND ALL YOUR

TIME DISTRACTED WITH
YOUR MATERIAL STUFF.

THIS AXE IS HELPING
ME TO SIGHT THE DIRECTION

THIS TREE IS
LIKELY TO GO.

IF I GET THE NOTCH JUST
RIGHT, IT'LL MISS MY CABIN.

THE NEXT STEP
IS THE BACK CUT.

I'VE GOT TO CUT BACK IN FROM
THE OTHER SIDE WITH MY BOW SAW.

IF I DON'T LEAVE A THICK
ENOUGH HINGE OR IF I DON'T PUT

THE HINGE IN THE RIGHT PLACE,
THINGS COULD GO BADLY WRONG.

BECAUSE OF THE WAY
THIS TREE'S LEANING,

IT IS GOING TO FALL IN THE
GENERAL DIRECTION OF MY CABIN.

I'VE GOT NO
CHOICE ABOUT THAT.

BUT MY GOAL HERE IS TO GET IT
TO FALL JUST OFF TO THE SIDE.

AW, I DON'T LIKE
THIS TWISTED GRAIN.

IT'S MAKING MY SAW
VEER OFF A LITTLE BIT.

IT'S NOT MAKING A
STRAIGHT CUT LIKE I'D LIKE.

TO GO JUST A LITTLE MORE.

HERE IT GOES,

HERE IT GOES,

TOP OF THIS OTHER SPRUCE TREE,

THAT'S NOT GOOD.

I JUST DON'T WANNA
GET TOO CLOSE TO IT,

'CAUSE IF IT DOES
COME DOWN SUDDENLY,

THE BUTT COULD KICK OUT,

START SEEING EXACTLY
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NOW.

I OBVIOUSLY CAN'T
GET UNDERNEATH OF IT.

AH, THIS IS A PROBLEM.

I GOT TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO GET THIS TREE DOWN

WITHOUT GETTING HURT.

I GOT TO DO IT SAFELY.

IT'S STILL GOT A GOOD
HINGE THERE HOLDING IT

TO THE BUTT AT THE MOMENT.

IF I CAN GET A ROPE
AROUND IT UP PRETTY HIGH,

THAT MIGHT BE ENOUGH.

I'LL HAVE TO TRY AND GET A
ROPE AROUND IT AND PULL IT OUT

OF THIS OTHER TREE.

PROBLEM IS, I'VE GOT TO GET
THE ROPE UP AS HIGH AS I CAN

SO THAT I HAVE ENOUGH
LEVERAGE TO PULL THIS TREE

OUT OF THE OTHER TREE.

I NEED SOME ROCKS.

GOT SOME ROCKS IN MY SOCK.

GOT A PIECE OF STRING.

GOOD PLACE TO THROW FROM.

OH, MISSED.

ONE, TWO, THREE!

COME ON, OH!

DIDN'T QUITE MAKE IT.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

YES, IT MADE IT, AWESOME!

NOW I JUST NEED TO
PULL THE ROPE UP.

BACK HERE AND HOPEFULLY,

THERE'LL BE
MORE BULLS CROSSING.

WE CAN JUST KEEP GOING
DOWNRIVER AND HOPEFULLY BUMP

INTO A BUNCH.

NARRATOR: THE HAILSTONES HAVE
WAITED UNSUCCESSFULLY FOR A

HERD OF CARIBOU
TO CROSS THEIR PATH.

WITH LIMITED TIME
BEFORE MIGRATION ENDS,

THEY MUST NOW HEAD DOWNRIVER
TO INCREASE THEIR CHANCES OF

INTERCEPTING A BULL CARIBOU.

AGNES HAILSTONE: HOPEFULLY,
THERE'S SOME CROSSING OVER

CHANCE TO GO LOOK, STILL EARLY.

JUST GOT TO KEEP ON
LOOKING FOR THE CARIBOU.

THE RUT IS ABOUT HERE, WE'RE
REALLY CLOSE TO THE END OF THE

SEASON FOR TRYING TO
CATCH THESE BULL CARIBOU.

SO WE'RE JUST
GONNA KEEP TRYING UNTIL

THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN RUT.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
TRY THIS AGAIN TOMORROW.

JESSIE HOLMES: I
DON'T DO ANYTHING OUT OF

IDEALISM ANYMORE.

AS I'M GETTING
OLDER OUT HERE,

I DO IT OUT
OF PRACTICALITY.

RIGHT NOW, THE ICE
IS COMING DOWN THE RIVER,

AND CHANCES ARE, IT'S JUST
GONNA GET THICKER QUICK AND

I COULD SPEND A DAY OR
TWO WORKING ON THIS MOTOR

OR I COULD SPEND A
DAY OR TWO GETTING FISH,

SO SPEND A DAY WORKING ON THIS,
THAT'S 1,000, 1,500 FISH THAT

ARE GONNA GO BY.

I CAN'T AFFORD
THAT AT THIS POINT.

CALLED UP MY FRIEND,
GONNA LET ME USE HIS BOAT.

I'M GONNA GO AND
GRAB HIS BOAT RIGHT NOW AND

GO START THE WHEEL.

THANK GOD I
LIVE IN A COMMUNITY.

NOW IT'S TIME TO GO
DOWN TO THE FISH WHEEL.

IT'S RIGHT DOWN
HERE, OFF THIS ISLAND.

IT'S A PRETTY SHORT COMMUTE,
BUT WITHOUT A BOAT MOTOR,

IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

USUALLY, I'VE ALREADY
GOT MY FISH PUT UP BY NOW.

I ONLY HAVE
100, 150 FISH.

THAT'S NOT GONNA
LAST LONG FOR MY DOGS.

RIGHT NOW, THE
FISH ARE STILL RUNNING,

SO IF I DON'T GET OUT THERE
AND GET THESE FISH WITHIN THE

NEXT FEW DAYS, I'M GONNA MISS
OUT ON A HUGE OPPORTUNITY AND

THAT'S GONNA BE A HUGE
FINANCIAL BURDEN TO MY KENNEL.

CRITICAL TO ME
TO GET THESE FISH.

GOT TO BE CAREFUL WHEN
YOU'RE WALKING ACROSS HERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF ICE.

A LOT OF
CURRENT IN THE RIVER.

IF YOU FALL IN THERE,
IT'S NOT GONNA BE GOOD.

YOU GOT TO BE CONSTANTLY
THINKING ABOUT SAFETY WHEN

YOU'RE ON A FISH WHEEL.

YOU CAN GET HIT IN
THE HEAD BY SOMETHING,

YOU FALL IN THE WATER, YOU'RE
KNOCKED OUT, YOU'RE DONE FOR.

THIS WATER IS SO COLD,
THE CURRENT'S SO STRONG.

NOBODY REALLY WANTS TO BE
ON THE RIVER THIS TIME OF YEAR,

DEALING WITH COLD
TEMPERATURES, ICE,

EVERYTHING GETS A
LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT.

BUT ME, I DON'T
HAVE A CHOICE RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHT. SO NOW,
I UNTIE THIS AND THE WHEEL

WILL START TURNING.

THERE IT GOES.

START CATCHING FISH.

THERE'S A FISH
RIGHT AWAY, FIRST SCOOP.

THIS IS A GOOD SIGN,
DO I EVER NEED THIS FISH.

SO THIS IS HOW
THIS WHEEL WORKS.

THE FISH ARE SWIMMING
UP ALONG THIS GRAVEL BANK.

THE FISH HIT IT THEN
THEY TRY TO SHOOT INTO HERE,

AND THEY GET SCOOPED UP.

TAKES A LONG TIME TO BUILD
BUT IT PAYS OFF BIG TIME BY

CATCHING LOTS OF FISH.

THERE'S ANOTHER
ONE RIGHT THERE,

IT'S REALLY CATCHING
NOW, IT'S PICKING UP.

SO ALL THESE GOOD NAILS HERE,
I'M GONNA FILL UP A NICE TOTE.

WITH TIME RUNNING
OUT I'M PRETTY NERVOUS,

BUT I'M ECSTATIC NOW.

I'M PUTTING UP GOOD
AMOUNT OF FISH FOR THE DOGS.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

THIS THING HAS KICKED OUT.

IT'S BENDING THE
(BLEEP) UP RIGHT OVER.

(BLEEP)!

JESSIE HOLMES: (BLEEP),
HAVE TO BEAT THAT ICE OFF.

NARRATOR: JESSIE MUST HARVEST
FALL CHUM SALMON BEFORE THE

RIVER FREEZES TO ENSURE HE HAS
ENOUGH MEAT FOR HIS SLED DOGS

FOR THE WINTER RACING SEASON.

BUT ICE ON THE FISH
WHEEL HAS CAUSED IT TO STOP,

AND GETTING THE WHEEL
OPERATIONAL IS CRITICAL.

JESSIE HOLMES: I GOT TO STOP,
MAKE SURE I GET ALL THE ICE

OFF 'CAUSE IT'S JUST GONNA
BUILD UP MORE AND CAN'T ALLOW

THAT TO HAPPEN 'CAUSE THAT
JUST PUTS A LOT OF WEIGHT AND

STRAIN ON THE WHEEL.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S
NOT TIME-CONSUMING ABOUT

THE FISH WHEEL.

YOU GOT TO DO THINGS RIGHT
OR THINGS WILL FALL APART.

SO, THIS BEING
MY BUDDY'S WHEEL,

I'M GONNA TAKE
EXTRA GOOD CARE OF IT,

IT'S PART OF THE DEAL.

OKAY, WE'RE IN WAY
BETTER SHAPE, THANK GOD,

PRAISE THE LORD,
OH MY GOD, DUDE, UNREAL.

WHAT?

[LAUGHS].

THIS IS GREAT.

THIS IS GONNA
FEED THE DOGS.

FISH WHEEL
IS DOING GOOD.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THIS
THING CATCHING SO GOOD.

I'M ECSTATIC.

THIS IS WHAT I HAD TO DO
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AND ANOTHER

YEAR I'M NOT GONNA GO
WITHOUT MY FISH, IT LOOKS LIKE.

I'M GONNA HEAD
BACK TO THE HOUSE NOW.

I GOT THIS
THING EMPTIED OUT

AND I'M GONNA
START CUTTING FISH.

FEEDING THESE DOGS
RIGHT NOW, THIS FISH,

I JUST FEEL SO GRATEFUL.

AND THAT I ALSO FEEL HUMBLED
BY THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING TO

RELY ON OTHERS TO HELP ME.

THIS WHEEL IS GONNA PROVIDE
FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO LIVE MY

DREAMS AS A MUSHER

GET GOING TO THE REFUGE.

NARRATOR: WITH HER CLIENT

JOURNEY AWAY FROM
KAVIK BEFORE HARSH WEATHER

LOCKS HER IN CAMP.

SHE WILL TRAVEL 70 MILES BY
PLANE TO THE ARCTIC NATIONAL

WILDLIFE REFUGE, WHERE
SHE'LL SCOUT FOR NEW RESOURCES

IN UNKNOWN TERRITORY.

SUE AIKENS: YOU KNOW AS I
TAKE THIS TRIP INTO THE REFUGE,

WHY DO I EVEN WANNA GO?

WELL, IT'S RIGHT
THERE, NUMBER ONE.

IT IS ONE OF THE MOST
TALKED ABOUT PLACES ON THE

FACE OF THE EARTH.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT IS A FAIRLY
PRISTINE CHUNK OF REAL ESTATE

ON THIS PLANET.

THE ANIMALS HAVE BEEN DOING
EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR

HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

THOSE ROCKS HAVE
LAID THERE UNDISTURBED

FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS.

WHY WOULD YOU NOT
WANNA GO CHECK IT OUT?

BOY, I CAN SEE
WHY THE GEOLOGISTS REALLY

LIKE THIS AREA.

PILOT: I KNOW.

SUE AIKENS:
GOT SO MANY FOLDS.

OOH, I WONDER IF
THERE'S FISHIES THERE?

THEY'VE STILL
GOT LIQUID WATER.

KAVIK MIGHT GET A LITTLE
SNOW, BUT HERE, IT SAYS NO,

JUST DROPPING
TEMPERATURES AND CLEAR.

AWESOME,

THAT REALLY LETS ME KNOW
THAT I'VE HIT THE BULL'S-EYE.

I LIKE BEING ALONE,

GOT THE FIRST

THAT'S GOOD.

I GOT A LOT OF
USEFUL WOOD HERE.

FIREWOOD AND I'VE GOT

AGNES HAILSTONE: SUCCESSFUL
HUNTING TAKES PATIENCE AND

NEVER GIVING UP.

NARRATOR: IN NOORVIK, THE
HAILSTONES ARE HUNTING BULL

CARIBOU AS THEY MIGRATE
THROUGH THE REGION.

THE ANIMALS PROVIDE
MEAT AND FUR TO SURVIVE

THE MONTHS AHEAD,

BUT WITH THE WINDOW TO
HARVEST THEM CLOSING QUICKLY,

DESPERATION FOR AGNES
AND THE GIRLS IS GROWING.

AGNES HAILSTONE: WE JUST
MADE IT TO OUR CAMPING SPOT.

WE USUALLY COME TO THIS
SPOT EVERY YEAR AND, UM,

WE'RE ALL BEHIND THE WILLOWS
AND THE CARIBOUS CAN'T SEE US

WHEN THEY CROSS.

WE'RE ABLE TO DO THE
HUNTING WE DO AND TRY TO GET

AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND
TRY TO HOPEFULLY GET BULLS.

BUT FOR RIGHT NOW,
WE'RE GONNA GO SET UP OUR

TENT WHILE
NOTHING'S CROSSING.

ONE, TWO, THREE;
THERE'S THREE OF THEM.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE:
THREE BULLS?

AGNES HAILSTONE: ONE IN
THE FRONT, TWO IN THE BACK.

WE HAVE TO GET
INTO THE BOAT NOW,

WE HAVE TO SLOWLY
GET INTO THE BOAT.

NO FAST
MOVEMENTS, EVERYBODY.

CAROL, CAROL!

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE: TAKE OUT
THE CLIP, CAROL AND RELOAD IT.

AGNES HAILSTONE: THIS
IS IT, GIRLS, THIS IS IT.

YUP, OOH, RELOAD, RELOAD.

AGNES HAILSTONE: ONE MORE TIME
IN THE MIDDLE, THE MIDDLE ONE,

THE MIDDLE ONE IS THE ONE YOU
SHOT, GO ON AHEAD, TRY AGAIN.

ONE MORE, PRINCESS,
RIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

ONE MORE TIME,
SWEETHEART, YOU GOT THIS!

THERE YOU GO, YOU
GOT IT, SWEETHEART.

WE JUST NEED TO TIE IT TO
THE BOAT AND THAT'S OUR KILL.

WE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH MORE,

BUT WE HAD A YOUNG SHOOTER
AND I'M REAL HAPPY THAT SHE

GOT HER FIRST KILL AND THIS
IS JUST SO EXCITING AND NOW SHE

KNOWS THE FEELING OF EVERY
TIME WE START TALKING ABOUT

THESE STORIES
COMING UP HERE,

SHE KNOWS EXACTLY
WHAT WE'RE DOING.

SHE DID A REAL GOOD JOB
AND I'M REAL HAPPY FOR HER,

SO NOW, IT'S TIME TO
WORK AND ACTUALLY GET THE

JOB DONE WITH THE
REST OF THE HUNT.

I'M SO HAPPY,
ONE MORE KISS, YES.

QUTAN HAILSTONE: IT'S MY FIRST
BULL CARIBOU OF THE YEAR AND

IT WAS FUN TO HUNT
WITH MY MOM AND MY SISTER.

AGNES HAILSTONE: USUALLY,
I DON'T DO THE GUTTING.

I DON'T USUALLY DO THE
DRIVING EITHER, BUT THIS TIME,

WE'RE JUST GONNA
HAVE TO DO IT TOGETHER.

THIS IS A NEW
EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF US

BECAUSE I DON'T USUALLY GUT.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE: AND I'LL,
I'LL GUT SINCE DAD'S NOT HERE.

AGNES HAILSTONE:
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

SO, THIS CARIBOU HERE,
AND ALL THIS MEAT, THE SKIN,

THIS IS OUR PRIZE.

THIS IS OUR TROPHY.

THIS IS WHAT'S GONNA START US
OFF FOR A LONG, COLD WINTER.

OUT HERE AND HUNT WITH ME.

TINMIAQ HAILSTONE: CAN I EAT
A PIECE OF THIS LIVER, MOM?

AGNES HAILSTONE: YEAH,
PRETTY MUCH KEEP EVERYTHING.

HOPEFULLY, UM, WE CATCH A
LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT IF NOT,

THIS IS A REAL GOOD
CARIBOU TO START US OFF

SUE AIKENS: SOMETIMES, I
FORGET TO ENJOY THE LIFE I'M

LIVING INSTEAD OF JUST
LIVING THE LIFE I'VE GOT.

NARRATOR: WITH HER BOOTS
ON THE GROUND IN THE REFUGE,

SUE MUST LOCATE AN AREA
TO SET UP HER CAMP BEFORE

THE SETTING SUN
LEADS TO RAPIDLY DECREASING

TEMPERATURES
AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS.

SUE AIKENS: IT'S A LITTLE
WINDIER THAN I THOUGHT

IT WOULD BE HERE.

I'VE GOT TO
GET MYSELF SET UP.

I HAVE TO GET READY,
BECAUSE ALONG WITH THE

TEMPERATURES DROPPING,
THE DARK IS ON ITS HEELS.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR, I
MEAN, IN A PERFECT WORLD,

I'D HAVE SOME BRUSH, YOU
KNOW, KIND OF IN A SQUARE.

I DON'T WANNA BE SO FAR AWAY
FROM THE RUNWAY THAT IF I HAVE

DIFFICULTIES, I'VE GOT
A LONG WAY TO GO WHEN THEY

NEED TO PICK ME UP.

I'VE GOT
SOMETHING TO TIE TO HERE,

SOMETHING TO TIE TO THERE,
SOMETHING TO TIE TO THERE.

THIS IS NOT BAD.

GOT IN VERY LATE AFTERNOON.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO
HAVE MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE

EYES ON THE GROUND
TIME TO PICK A SPOT,

BUT I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF
BUSHES I CAN GET MYSELF, UH,

TAGGED INTO.

AND I'VE GOT TO
GET THE TENT UP.

THIS IS GONNA BE SINGLE
DIGITS BELOW ZERO TONIGHT.

SO, PARAMOUNT IS GETTING
THE TENT UP, GETTING SHELTER,

GETTING HEAT
GOING INSIDE OF IT.

LET ME GO SEE IF I
CAN'T FIND SOME ROCKS.

OH, I JUST WANNA COLLECT A
COUPLE OF BIGGER ROCKS THAT I

CAN TIE MY TENT TO.

YOU CAN'T, UH, YOU CAN'T GET
MUCH MORE PEACEFUL THAN THIS.

THESE COLORS, THESE SHADES,
JUST DON'T HAPPEN THAT OFTEN.

I DO NOT TAKE
THAT FOR GRANTED.

IN THE PALETTE OF THE
ARCTIC, YOU GET THESE PINKS,

AND ORANGES, AND
PEACHES TWICE A YEAR,

ONLY TWO TIMES FOR A
COUPLE OF WEEKS EACH.

IN THE SPRING
AND IN THE FALL.

MY BIG BACKYARD IS
PRETTY FREAKING AMAZING.

THE GOAL IS TO
BE ONE WITH NATURE.

I'M AT THE AGE WHERE,
I'M BEATING MY OWN BODY UP.

I WANNA TRY, I
WANNA SEE, I WANNA DO.

BEFORE SOMEBODY PUTS MY
BODY SIX FOOT UNDER THE GROUND,

I WANNA KNOW THAT
I CLIMBED EVERY VALLEY

AND LOOKED OVER
EVERY HILL, I GOT OUT HERE.

THE TENT IS UP.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
EVERYTHING THAT THIS REFUGE

HAS TO OFFER.

TOMORROW'S A BRAND NEW DAY.

JESSIE HOLMES: AND
YOU HELP PEOPLE OUT AND

THEY HELP YOU OUT.

WE ALL WORK TOGETHER.

I'M LUCKY TO LIVE
SOMEWHERE LIKE THIS.

[BARKING].

DOGS KNOW THAT I'M
COOKING UP THIS FISH FOR 'EM,

THEY KNOW THIS COOKER.

THEY SEE IT
FIRED UP EVERY DAY.

THIS IS IT.

THIS IS, UH,
16 FISH COOKED UP,

MAKE A NICE
BROTH FOR THESE DOGS.

THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST
FOOD FOR DOGS RIGHT HERE.

IT'S BEEN A LOT OF
STRUGGLE TO GET THE FISH

AND A LOTTA LITTLE THINGS
IN MY WAY, BUT PAID OFF,

GOT FISH FOR THE DOGS.

DOGS ARE HAPPY ABOUT
IT, I'M HAPPY ABOUT IT.

IT WOULD HAVE FELT GREAT TO
GET THAT BOAT GOING AND DO IT

WITH MY OWN BOAT, BUT,
UH, IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT.

IT'S ABOUT GETTING
THE FISH FOR THE DOGS.

HEY, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING YOUNGIN'?

THOR, THEY NEED THE
BONES, THEY NEED THE GUTS,

THEY NEED THE HEADS.

IT'S A COMPLETE BALANCE.

HELPS GIVE 'EM STRONG JOINTS,
GOOD COATS, GOOD TOUGH FEET.

FISHING SEASON LEADS RIGHT
INTO MUSHING AND TRAINING,

AND, UH, THAT'S WHEN
THE WORK REALLY BEGINS,

SO I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE
FISHING HELPS ME GET READY

FOR THE MUSHING SEASON.

IT'S TIME TO STEP UP
AND START TRAINING HARDER,

NOW THAT I GOT MY
FOOD RESERVES STACKING UP.

THIS FISH IS GONNA LAST
ME THROUGH THE WHOLE WINTER.

THIS RIGHT
HERE IS MY FUTURE.

I'D SAY IT
LOOKS PRETTY BRIGHT.

AGNES HAILSTONE: THE FUTURE
LOOKS BRIGHT FOR US, GIRLS.

IF WE PUT OUR MINDS TO IT,
WE CAN DO ANYTHING TOGETHER.

MM, IT SMELLS GOOD,
