THE MOSQUITOES HAVE BEEN
VERY ANNOYING,

SO I'M GOING TO START
ON MY PROJECT: THE ZAPPER HAT.

BASICALLY,
IT IS A REGULAR TOP HAT.

YOU PUSH THIS LITTLE BUTTON,
AND WHEN IT POPS UP,

INSIDE IS A BUG ZAPPER.

IS THAT A BUG ZAPPER
ON A HAT?

LOOK, THEY'RE JUST GOING
RIGHT UP INTO THE HAT.

IT IS MY DECREE
THAT ON THIS DAY,

NOAH HAS INVENTED
ONE OF THE GREATEST

INVENTIONS OF ALL MANKIND,

AND HIS EFFORTS
SHALL NOT GO IN VAIN

NOR SHALL THEY PERISH
FROM THIS BATTLEFIELD.

ON THIS SEASON OF
"ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE"...

HEY, IT LOOKS GOOD
FROM UP HERE.

YOU LOOK JUST
LIKE A DOLPHIN, BIRD.

...THE BROWN FAMILY MAKES
THEIR LONG-AWAITED RETURN...

- YES!
- ... TO THE WILD.

THIS IS WHERE I BELONG.
THIS IS MY TRUE HOME,

IN THE WOODS AND THE FOREST
WITH THE ANIMALS.

WITH THE NEW PROPERTY,
WE CAN HAVE AN ACTUAL RANCH.

WE'RE THINKING ABOUT BARNS,
HORSES, CATTLE.

TIMBER!
OH, THAT FEELS GOOD.

BEAUTIFUL.
THAT'S HOW WE ROLL.

YEAH!

OH, YEAH.

I'M HOME!

BUT THEIR 400-ACRE
MOUNTAIN PARADISE...

IT'S JUST SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS LITTLE SPOT.

IT HAS A LITTLE BIT
OF MAGIC TO IT.

IT'S A MIRACLE,
IS WHAT IT IS.

...BRINGS NEW CHALLENGES...

- ROGER, ROGER. OH, MAN.
- DAD!

I HAVE THIS THING ABOUT SNAKES.
YEAH.

I'M NOT SURE I'VE EVER SEEN
A FLOOD BEFORE.

THAT'S A LAKE IN THE ROAD.

WHERE WE COME FROM,
EVERY TIME THERE'S A PROBLEM,

EVERYONE COMES OUT TO HELP.

...THAT WILL MAKE
THEIR WOLFPACK STRONGER

THAN EVER BEFORE.

IT'S ALMOST
LIKE BEING BORN AGAIN

AND GETTING TO START
A NEW LIFE AGAIN.

THIS IS HISTORIC AS FAR
AS THE BROWN FAMILY GOES.

RIGHT NOW, I HAVE
A NEW LEASE ON LIFE.

I HAVE A NEW LEASE
ON THE LIFE THAT WE LOVE,

THE LIFE THAT WE WANT.

GO!

IT'S TIME TO GET BACK
TO THE BUSH.

FAITH IN GOD AND FAMILY, NOTHING

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.

FREEDOM!
