AH, PHOSPHORUS IN THE MORNING.

I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ACCESSIBILITY

OF DRINKABLE WATER HERE IN WASHINGTON.

THERE'S A LARGE POPULATION OF GAME AND A LOT MORE ANIMALS.

EVEN I JUST WON'T REACH DOWN AND EAT THE SNOW AT THIS POINT.

SO WHAT I WANT TO DO IS PURIFY AND CLEANSE THE SNOW WATER

AND TURN IT INTO AN ACTUAL DRINKABLE SOURCE.

BASICALLY, I'M MAKING A FOIL HOSE.

I'M JUST GONNA JOIN THAT TO THE TOP OF THE KETTLE.

LET IT START HEATING.

THIS THING HAS TO LITERALLY PUSH INTO THE PIPE.

LOOK AT IT DRIPPING. LOOK AT THAT.

I'M A GENIUS.

TO WATER!

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

SAFETY FIRST. WHOO!

...AS THE WOLF PACK BEGINS TO PLANT NEW ROOTS

ON THEIR RUGGED MOUNTAIN PARADISE...

TRANSPORTATION. WHOO!

...FATHER BILLY UNVEILS HIS GRAND VISION FOR THE FUTURE.

IT'S WIDE OPEN, GUYS. IT'S WHAT WE DO.

YOU KNOW, IMAGINATION'S THE ONLY THING

THAT'S GONNA SLOW US DOWN NOW.

BUT WITH ONE SIBLING STILL ON HIS WAY...

...THE FAMILY MUST FIGHT TO RECLAIM THEIR LIFE IN THE WILD.

EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION. CLEAR THE FREAKING PEOPLE OUT.

WATCH OUT, BAM. GET OUT OF THERE.

BAM!

BORN AND RAISED IN THE ALASKAN BUSH...

LET'S GO. IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP.

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE BUSH.

...THE BROWN FAMILY OF NINE HAVE RESETTLED

IN THE MOUNTAINS OF THE NORTHWEST.

IT'S A MIRACLE IS WHAT IT IS.

BUT THE FIGHT TO LIVE OUTSIDE SOCIETY...

WE GOT IT.

...IS HARDER THAN EVER.

HIT IT AGAIN.

IT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT IN THE BUSH.

ALL RIGHT GUYS, THIS IS OUR MOMENT, RIGHT?

THIS IS THE LIFE THEY CHOSE.

HOME SWEET HOME.

THAT'S THE WAY WE ROLL! HA!

I THINK WE MIGHT'VE FINALLY FOUND IT.

BEAR, DO YOU THINK ABOUT WATER IS GOOD TO DRINK?

DEFINITELY GOOD, I'D SAY.

WELL, THE ANIMALS DRINK IT, RIGHT?

AND I'M AN ANIMAL, SO...

IT'S REALLY GOOD. IT'S NOT BOTTLED.

YEAH, BOTTLED WATER TASTES LIKE PLASTIC.

IT JUST TASTES LIKE ROCK AND EARTH.

SINCE ARRIVING ON THEIR NEW PROPERTY IN NORTHERN WASHINGTON

LESS THAN A WEEK AGO, THE WOLF PACK HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK...

...ESTABLISHING THEIR REMOTE BASE CAMP

TO BUILD ON THEIR LIFE-LONG DREAM TO LIVE FREE IN THE BUSH.

I WOULDN'T TRADE THE YEARS THAT WE HAD IN ALASKA FOR ANYTHING,

BUT I THINK THE NEW PLACE IN WASHINGTON,

IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND.

IT BLEW OURS COMPLETELY.

WHOA.

WE'RE THINKING ABOUT STUFF NOW WE'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT.

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW GREAT IT DOES FEEL JUST TO KNOW THAT,

YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING BACK WHERE WE BELONG.

- MAN, IT'S GORGEOUS, ISN'T IT? - YEAH, I KNOW.

IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC TO IT.

IT'S A MIRACLE IS WHAT IT IS, THAT WE'RE EVEN HERE, YOU KNOW?

IT REALLY IS.

THIS IS KIND OF OPENED UP SOMETHING THAT, MAN,

I NEVER THOUGHT WE'D HAVE.

I DON'T WANT TO BUILD A SHED. I WANT TO BUILD A BARN.

- YEAH. - I MEAN, A REAL BARN.

- YES, YES. - YOU KNOW? I MEAN, LITERALLY.

WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR, IT'S A SERIOUS THING TO US.

WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD A RANCH.

AND WE HAVE HOUSING FOR NOW.

NONE OF US WANT TO BE STAYING IN TEPEES AND A TRAILER,

BUT THE BARN IS LITERALLY THE HEART OF A FARM OR A RANCH.

AND EVERY TIME, YOU KNOW, WE PUT IN LIVESTOCK,

IT HAS BABIES AND WE KEEP IT AND IT GROWS.

- YEAH. - IT'S GONNA STAY THERE.

IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT Y'ALL ARE GONNA MEND LATER.

WHAT HAVE WE ALWAYS LEANED TOWARDS?

EVEN IN SUCH A HARD LIFESTYLE, SELF-STAINABILITY.

WE FOUGHT HARD IN ALASKA

TO HAVE A SELF-SUSTAINING LIFESTYLE, YOU KNOW?

RENEWABLE RESOURCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

HERE, THOSE THING ARE -- THEY'RE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.

EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE RELYING ON FOR FOOD AND WORK

AND EVERYTHING ELSE BUILDS ITS MARK.

I DON'T KNOW.

I KIND OF INHERITED A DREAM, I GUESS,

BUT IT WAS A DREAM I NEVER THOUGHT I'D HAVE.

- YEAH. - YOU KNOW?

WELL, HEY, YOU CAN'T GROW UP IN TEXAS WITH HORSES

AND ALL THAT AND IT NOT GET UNDER YOUR SKIN.

- I WOULD IMAGINE. - YOU KNOW?

BUT I FOUGHT SO HARD AND SO LONG

TO TRY TO PULL SOMETHING LIKE THAT OFF

AND GOT REALLY CLOSE, BUT DIDN'T QUITE MAKE IT.

MY DAD, HE WAS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS.

IT WAS HIS DREAM --

THE HORSE RANCH AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

HE HAD BOUGHT A PLACE,

AND TWO MONTHS BEFORE WE MOVED TO IT, PLANE CRASHED.

I UNDERSTAND NOW THE DREAM WASN'T HIS.

HE WANTED TO GIVE US THAT DREAM,

'CAUSE I'M GONNA GIVE IT TO MINE NOW.

LIKE, HOW FLAT DOES IT HAVE TO BE FOR A BARN?

WELL, ALL THIS SHOULD DROP OFF AND GET A LITTLE FLAT.

THE JAGGED HIGHLANDS AROUND THE FAMILY'S BASE CAMP

ARE TOO STEEP AND SNOWY TO BUILD ON...

LOOK DOWN THERE. IS THAT NICE OR WHAT?

- YEAH. - IT'S SO PRETTY HERE.

...FORCING THE WOLF PACK TO SEARCH FOR A BARN SITE

IN THE FLATTER WOODLANDS DOWN THE MOUNTAIN,

WHERE MOST OF THE SNOW HAS ALREADY MELTED.

IT LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT PIECE OF PROPERTY DOWN HERE

COMPARED TO, LIKE, WHERE THE TEPEES ARE.

WE NEED A GOOD FLAT AREA AT LEAST BIG ENOUGH FOR THE BARN,

BUT IT CAN'T BE COMPLETELY FLAT BECAUSE,

THIS COUNTRY, WE KNOW THAT RUNOFF HAPPENS IN SPRING.

JUST A MINUTE, GUYS.

I LIKE THIS.

I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT CREEK BEHIND ME.

YOU KNOW, WE GET IT ALL CLEARED OUT AND NICE,

MOM WOULD LOVE IT, MAN.

IS THAT CLEARING LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE BARN YOU WANTED?

WE'RE NEVER GONNA FIND A PLACE THAT'S PERFECT, RIGHT?

SO WE'RE JUST GONNA FIND SOMETHING CLOSE

AND MAKE IT WHAT WE WANT.

WHICH WAY?

TOWARDS THAT BIG TREE RIGHT HERE, BEAR.

HOW FAR YOU WANT TEEN WOLF TO GO?

WE'LL SEE WHERE 100 GOES.

- HOLD TIGHT. JUST HOLD TIGHT. - STRAIGHT.

YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, IT JUST LOOKS LIKE FOREST.

IT'S COVERED IN TREES AND SHRUBS,

BUT I CAN DEFINITELY SEE WHAT DA SEES.

SLOW DOWN. YOU'RE ALMOST TO THE END.

THANKS, GRANDMA.

HOLD ON. STOP. THAT'S IT.

THE BROWNS PLAN TO CONSTRUCT A FULLY ENCLOSED POLE BARN

COMPLETE WITH A DOZEN STALLS AND A TOWERING HAYLOFT.

AT 48 FEET LONG AND 38 WIDE, IT WILL BE THE LARGEST STRUCTURE

THEY HAVE EVER ATTEMPTED TO BUILD.

BEAR, CHECK OUT THAT WAY NOW.

WE'VE GOT LOTS TO DO.

FIRST WE'VE GOT TO CLEAR ALL THE TREES OUT OF THE WAY.

THEN STUMPS HAVE TO COME OUT.

THIS AREA HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED.

NOW IT'S GOT TO BE LEVELED.

LET'S GET THE TREES DOWN. LET'S START OPENING IT UP.

IT'S WIDE OPEN, GUYS. IT'S WHAT WE BUILD.

♪♪

BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE COOKED OVER A FIRE.

THOUGH THE DAY-TO-DAY TASKS OF BUILDING A NEW HOMESTEAD

HAVE KEPT THE WOLF PACK WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK...

I FIGURED I'D DO SOME STRAIGHT-UP BUSH LUNCH FOR US.

SOME GOOD-OLD CANNED MEAT.

- OH, YEAH. - DUDE, THE GOOD STUFF.

BROTHERS MATT AND GABE BREAK FROM THEIR MORNING DUTIES

TO SAVOR THE SIMPLE PLEASURES OF BUSH LIVING.

WE OUGHT TO DO, LIKE, A CANNED-BEAST-AND-TOMATO

KIND OF STEW THING

LIKE MOM USE TO MAKE BACK IN THE DAY.

FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER,

WE'LL ALWAYS STOP ABOUT MIDDAY, START UP A LITTLE FIRE,

AND WE ALL CARRY A THING OF CANNED MEAT,

SOMETHING THAT WE CAN COOK OVER THE FIRE.

WE'LL SIT THERE, TALK ABOUT THE NEXT THING WE'RE GONNA DO,

AND BASICALLY ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY.

OOH, THAT IS WARM.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE'VE HAD ANYTHING

COOKED OVER AN OPEN FIRE,

AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT REALLY IMITATES THAT TASTE

THAT YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE EATING CAMP MEAT.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD DO WHILE WE'RE HERE?

NO MATTER WHAT IT IS WE TACKLE,

AS LONG AS WE BUST SOMETHING DOWN.

EVERY DAY THAT WE CAN SPEND MARKING SOMETHING OFF THE LIST

AND COVERING OTHER PROBLEMS

THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ARE GONNA ARISE YET.

I'VE HAD MANY VERY STRONG CHALLENGES

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.

HERE IN WASHINGTON WITH THE RESTART FOR MY WHOLE FAMILY

AND THIS NEW HOME,

I'M VERY EXCITED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FAMILY AND THE HOMESTEAD.

ONE THING I THINK WE NEED IS A FIRE FEEDER

'CAUSE, I MEAN, THERE'S GONNA COME A TIME

WHEN WE AREN'T GONNA HAVE TIME TO SPLIT WOOD.

WELL, MY DA RAN ME THROUGH AN IDEA

ON THE WAY TO BUILD A FIRE FEEDER.

IT'S A VERY BASIC PRINCIPLE.

IT'S A SIMPLE RAMP THAT LEADS DOWN INTO THE FIRE PIT.

SO FIRE IN THE CENTER.

YOU'RE HERE. I'M HERE. I'M SORRY IT'S NOT TO SCALE.

I'M GONNA USE THE SPAM FOR THE LOGS.

COME ON, COME TO DADDY.

THERE'S A RAMP THAT COMES DOWN LIKE THIS INTO THE FIRE.

THIS IS GONNA BE THE FIREWOOD.

AS THIS LOG BURNS -- BURN ONE LOG.

THE NEXT ONE SLIDES IN, ALLOWING THE REST OF THEM

TO FALL INTO PLACE.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT THE FIRE FEEDER

WILL SOLVE FOR US RIGHT NOW

IS THAT WE WON'T HAVE TO HAVE BEAR RUNNING BACK AND FORTH

AND CONSTANTLY FEEDING THE FIRE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SET IT,

LET IT GO, AND GO DO SOMETHING ELSE.

AND, I'LL TELL YOU, HERE, WE HAVE PLENTY TO DO.

IT'S GOOD.

IT'S REALLY SALTY.

I'M GONNA NEED SOME WATER HERE IN A MINUTE.

I AM SO THIRSTY.

SEAGULLS CAN DRINK SALTWATER.

THEY'RE ONE OF THE ONLY CREATURES THAT CAN.

- NO. - MM-HMM.

GET OUT.

NO, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SO CRAZY.

OKAY, SNEEZY, DOPEY, GRUMPY, AND SLEEPY, LET'S GO.

START CHOPPING IN THAT WAY, OVER THAT WAY, AND UP THIS WAY.

AXES, CHAINSAW, BLADES, SHARP THINGS.

DO CUTTING. LOTS OF FUN. SAWDUST IN THE AIR.

HERE'S JOHNNY!

BEFORE THE BROWNS CAN SET THE FOUNDATION FOR A NEW BARN,

THE SIBLINGS MUST CUT DOWN 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF FOREST,

REMOVE THE STUMPS, AND LEVEL THEM THE LAND.

STAY AWAY FROM ME WITH THIS THING.

♪♪

WE'RE BACK OUT IN THE WOODS

AND I'M FINALLY STARTING TO FEEL LIKE I'M ALIVE AGAIN.

WE'RE NOT JUST BUILDING ANOTHER HOUSE

ON ANOTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY.

IT'S LIKE WE'RE STARTING OUR LIVES AGAIN.

IT'S REALLY BIG. IT REALLY MATTERS.

IF EVERYBODY CAN'T, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WORK TOGETHER,

THAT'S GONNA SET US BACK.

SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO JUST WORKING HARD

AND DOING SOMETHING TOGETHER.

PERFECT.

-COMING UP...

-OKAY, LADIES, WITH Y'ALL BEING IN HERE, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.

I'M GONNA END UP DROPPING A TREE ON ONE OF Y'ALL.

...THE KIDS HIT AN EARLY SNAG AT THE BARN SITE

THAT COULD TOPPLE THEIR PROGRESS.

-THAT'S NOT GOOD.

THAT BLADE'S TOAST.

AND LATER...

HE'S ON HIS WAY. COME ON, HE'S COMING.

...THE LONG AWAITED RETURN OF ONE OF THEIR OWN.

HOW BIG DO WE WANT IT, THOUGH?

THE BARN'S GONNA BE LIKE 40x60,

BUT THAT'S JUST THE STRUCTURE.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF ROOM AROUND.

DETERMINED TO CARRY OUT BILLY'S VISION,

THE FAMILY'S BARN PROJECT IS UNDERWAY.

HERE'S JOHNNY!

BUT WHILE THE GANG SETS OUT FOR THE NEXT DAY OF CLEARING,

MATT AND GABE ARE HEADED TO TOWN

FOLLOWING THE INITIAL ASSEMBLY OF THEIR FIRE FEEDER.

THIS IS JUST TEMPORARY.

I'M GONNA PUT IT TOGETHER SO I KNOW WHAT MY DISTANCE IS

AND ALL THE PIECES ARE RIGHT.

WELL, THE FIRE FEEDER IN ITS EARLY STAGES

IS PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

IT MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK.

IT'S HELD TOGETHER WITH DUCK TAPE.

SO FROM HERE ON OUT, IT'S JUST FASTENING THEM TOGETHER,

YOU KNOW, PERMANENTLY.

WITHOUT THE TOOLS ON HAND TO FINISH THEIR FIRE FEEDER,

THE GUYS RESORT TO A TRUSTED METHOD OF SOURCING SUPPLIES.

SEE ANYTHING YOU LIKE?

WHAT IS THAT? IS THAT METAL?

OKAY, I LIKE THAT.

WE'RE TALKING BODY ARMOR NOW.

HERE, HIT ME WITH SOMETHING.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING.

IT'S LUNCH TIME.

WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IS THAT THE FIRE FEEDER

STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

BUT ANYTIME YOU GO TO A JUNKYARD,

YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW

EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND,

AND MOST OF THE TIME,

I DON'T REALLY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

THE COOL THING ABOUT TAKING GABE TO A JUNKYARD

IS THAT HE AND I CAN KIND OF GOOF AROUND.

DUDE!

COULD YOU SEE US RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE ROAD IN THIS THING?

GABE'S A VERY SENSITIVE GUY.

THE YEAR IN CALIFORNIA, I THINK IT MIGHT'VE HIT HIM HARDER

THAN ANY OF US, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

- OOH. - WHAT?

- WHAT IS IT? - NICE SEATS.

TO GET OUT THERE AND GOOF AROUND WITH GABE

LIKE OLD TIMES AND WATCH HIM,

YOU KNOW, FINALLY SHEDDING THAT SHROUD OF DISAPPOINTMENT

FEELS VERY GOOD.

- IS THAT NICE OR WHAT? - YEAH.

PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE BICYCLE.

TRANSPORTATION. WHOA!

WHOO! OW, OW!

THAT'S A GIRL'S BIKE.

RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T FIND

EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR WHEN WE CAME HERE,

BUT I'M GONNA KEEP SEARCHING

BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA FIND.

A CAR THAT THE AIRBAG HAS DEPLOYED IN.

HOPE IN. WE'LL TAKE IT FOR A SPIN.

RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, SAFETY FIRST. BUCKLE UP.

IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY THREW UP IN HERE.

LET'S GET OUT.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU WANT TO, LIKE, START ON THIS END

AND WORK YOUR WAY THAT WAY? I'LL START ON THE CORNER.

EVERYTHING MUST COME DOWN.

ON THEIR SECOND DAY OF CLEARING,

THE BROWN SIBLINGS CONTINUE TO MAKE STRIDES

ON THEIR FUTURE BARN SITE.

BUT WITH 8,000 SQUARE FEET OF FOREST STILL AHEAD OF THEM,

THE GANG TURNS THEIR FOCUS TOWARDS A NEW PARCEL.

YOU HAVE GLOVES, RIGHT?

NO, I'M GOOD. I DIDN'T LAST TIME.

- NAH, YOU'RE GONNA WANT A GLOVE. - NAH.

THIS POLE BARN, DEFINITELY ONE OF OUR LARGEST UNDERTAKINGS,

EVERYBODY BESIDES ME IS AS EAGER AS POSSIBLE

TO GET AS MUCH LIVESTOCK ON THE LAND AS WE CAN.

NO, I WANT TO GET EVERYTHING 100% READY.

RIGHT NOW IT JUST IS A GROUP OF TREES,

AND IT'S NOT EVEN A REAL CLEARING YET.

OKAY, LADIES, WE CAN'T REALLY MIX CUTTING THE TREES DOWN

WITH Y'ALL BEING IN HERE WITH AN AX.

NUH-UNH, IT'S NOT GONNA FALL NEAR ME.

GO THAT WAY. IT WOULDN'T EVEN REACH ME.

Y'ALL NEED TO CLEAR OFF THAT WAY, THEN.

DID HE JUST GRAB MY SAW?

GROWING UP, WE ACTUALLY ALWAYS KIND OF FOUGHT OVER

WHO WOULD USE THE CHAINSAW.

GOT IT.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS IS THE WAY

THAT IT SPITS THE CHAINSAW DUST OUT THE BACK.

JUST CUTS THROUGH THINGS LIKE A LIGHTSABER.

I'M THE SECOND OLDEST, AND SO I GREW UP WITH

SO MANY LITTLE GUYS UNDER ME WORKING SUCH DANGEROUS JOBS

THAT IT JUST BECAME PART OF WHO I AM

TO JUST MAKE SURE NOBODY GETS HURT

OR TO WATCH OUT FOR THINGS.

HEY, BEAR.

BUT IT MIGHT NOT BE AS WELL RECEIVED WITH BEAR ALL THE TIME,

BECAUSE HE DOESN'T FEEL HE NEEDS THAT.

CHOKE UP ON IT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF CHOPPING THIS ONE UP.

I WAS SAYING CHOKE UP ON IT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

YOU WANT ME TO TAKE A GO OR ARE YOU GOOD?

NO, I'M NOT EVEN GETTING WARMED UP YET.

AWESOME. HE'S NOT EVEN GETTING WARMED UP YET.

I'M GONNA SMELL LIKE THE DUMP SOON.

YEAH.

LIKE YOU DON'T ALREADY.

AS MATT AND GABE CONTINUE THEIR SEARCH FOR MATERIALS

TO FINISH THEIR FIRE FEEDER,

THE BOYS APPROACH THE FINAL SECTIONS OF THE LOCAL JUNKYARD.

WATCH OUT FOR NAILS.

YO, AND JUNKYARDS, FOR US, THEY'RE LIKE A LIFELINE.

LIKE, WE'VE REPURPOSED SO MUCH OLD STUFF TO MEET A USE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL MATT NEEDS TO MAKE THIS FIRE FEEDER WORK,

BUT THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF HERE, I DON'T SEE WHY IT CAN'T.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? JUMPER CABLES?

HEY, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

WE'RE DIGGING AROUND AND NOT REALLY FINDING MUCH.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN GABE FINDS THESE JUMPER CABLES

AND THEY'RE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.

I'M LOOKING AT ALL THESE VANS HE HAS LAYING AROUND

AND THEY ALL HAVE OLD BATTERIES LEFT IN THEM.

- I JUST GOT AN IDEA. - WHAT?

THOSE WELDING CABLES,

WE CAN YANK ALL THE BATTERIES HE'LL GIVE US.

WE'RE GONNA NEED THE CAPACITY TO WELD.

I LIKE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH IT.

NOW, THE IMPORTANT THING RIGHT NOW

IS THE ABILITY TO STICK TWO THINGS TOGETHER

AND INSTANTLY I THINK TO MYSELF, "HEY, PUSH WELDER."

YOU HOOK UP A BANK OF BATTERIES, SOME JUMPER CABLES,

AND GET A WELDING ROD, AND IT WORKS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT QUITE THE HOONAH DUMP,

BUT IT REALLY DOES FEEL GOOD TO BE ABLE TO COME OUT

AND GET STUFF THAT WE CAN USE TO MAKE A NEW HOME.

RIGHT NOW ACTUALLY I JUST WANTED TO GET OUT WITH YOU, MAN.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE'VE DONE THIS.

I NEVER THOUGHT WE'D SEE SOMEWHERE LIKE THIS AGAIN,

TO BE HONEST.

YOU KNOW, I TOOK LAST YEAR AND ALL THE TRIALS

AND TRIBULATIONS WE HAD REALLY, REALLY BAD.

LIKE, I MEAN, I FEEL REALLY BAD ABOUT IT NOW, TOO,

'CAUSE INSTEAD OF KIND OF BEING THERE FOR EVERYBODY,

EVERYBODY WAS KIND OF HAVING TO BE THERE FOR ME.

YOU KNOW, WE ALL GOT KIND OF DOWN

DURING MOM'S WHOLE FIGHT WITH CANCER.

I TOOK IT PRETTY HARD, I GUESS.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT AT HOME.

EVERYTHING THAT YOU LOVE IS THREATENED TO BE TAKEN AWAY,

BUT, LIKE, TO BE BACK HERE, LIKE, HOW COULD ANYBODY NOT BE

JUST PSYCHED OUT OF THEIR MIND ABOUT IT?

SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT MOM,

IT WAS LIKE A GIANT WEIGHT,

LIKE, LIFTED OFF OF MY ENTIRE BODY

AND THEN COMING BACK TO THE WILDERNESS,

IT'S JUST HELPING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.

IT'S LIKE THE BEST MEDICINE YOU COULD HAVE, JUST TO BE BACK

IN YOUR OWN ELEMENT WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE.

WHEN WE'RE ALL TOGETHER AND WE'RE ALL LAUGHING

IN OUR NEW PLACE, LIKE, IT FEELS REALLY GOOD.

- YOU'RE A SWEET DUDE, GABE. - OH, SHUT UP.

LET'S JUST PICK THROUGH JUNK, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, BRING IT IN.

LET'S GO. I'M GONNA CRY.

WHY DON'T YOU BUCK THOSE UP AS YOU GO?

AFTER HOURS OF AXING AND LIMITED EQUIPMENT ON HAND,

THE KIDS ARE MAKING SMALL GAINS ON THEIR GOAL

TO CLEAR THE LAND FOR THE FAMILY'S NEW BARN.

GOOD JOB, MAN.

HOW YA DOING?

CUTTING GOOD, BUT THIS SAW IS NOT GONNA LAST MUCH LONGER

WITH THE SHARPNESS OF IT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO KEEP RUNNING IT.

YOU'LL MESS UP THE CHAIN.

YOU HAVE TO STOP DOWN AND SHARPEN IT.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS FIGURING, BUT I DON'T WANT TO WASTE THE TIME.

YOU'LL WASTE A LOT MORE TIME TRYING TO USE IT WHILE IT'S DULL

THAN YOU WILL IF YOU JUST STOP AND SHARPEN IT.

NAH, NOT NECESSARILY.

YOU WANT TO TAKE A BREAK AND LET ME PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF?

YEAH, I THINK SO. JUST, YOU KNOW, LIGHTEN UP.

YOU KNOW, I'VE WIELDED A CHAINSAW A LOT IN MY LIFE.

I'M PRETTY EXPERIENCED WITH IT.

YOU CAN'T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF.

YOU HAVE TO JUST TAKE DOWN THE TREE THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.

CLEAN IT UP, CHOP IT UP, MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY.

YOU CAN'T JUST GO DOWN AND JUST START CHOPPING TREES DOWN

ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.

SOMEONE'S GONNA GET HURT IF YOU DON'T MAKE SURE

YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT.

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO CLEAR OUT

BECAUSE THIS TREE'S COMING DOWN HERE.

NO ONE'S PAYING ATTENTION.

SO EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION, CLEAR THE FREAKING PEOPLE OUT,

AND THEN I'LL CUT THE TREE DOWN.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARDER WORKING WITH BAM NOW.

WE'VE ALL STEPPED UP SO MUCH,

ESPECIALLY BIRD AND I HAVE GROWN SO MUCH,

AND HE DOESN'T SEE THAT.

HE STILL THINKS THAT HE HAS TO BE THE LEADER,

BUT, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY HAS TO PULL TOGETHER

AND WE HAVE TO WORK AS A FAMILY.

IT'S A TEAM.

♪♪

FREAKING SERIOUS?

HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

WATCH OUT, BAM. GET OUT OF THERE.

YEAH, IT'S COMING OVER THE BLADE.

- IT'S OKAY. GET YOUR -- - BAM!

- OH, MY GOSH. - THAT'S NOT GOOD.

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO CLEAR OUT

'CAUSE THIS TREE'S COMING DOWN HERE.

THE BROWNS HAVE BEGUN CLEARING A BARN SITE ON THEIR NEW LAND

TO FINALLY REALIZE FATHER BILLY'S DREAM

OF A SELF-SUSTAINING HOMESTEAD IN THE BUSH.

FREAKING SERIOUS?

HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

THAT'S NOT GOOD.

BUT A CRITICAL CUT HAS DERAILED THEIR MOMENTUM.

THAT BLADE'S TOAST.

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

- YEP. - GIVE ME THE AX.

HERE YOU GO.

IF I WASN'T STOPPED 14 TIMES,

THAT WOULDN'T HAVE FREAKING HAPPENED.

THIS IS GONNA LOOK LIKE A FREAKING STUPID PERSON DID IT.

WELL, YOU DID IT. HIT IT.

NOBODY MADE YOU DO THAT, BAM.

WATCH OUT. IT HAPPENS.

HE RAN INTO A SMALL SNAG WITH THE CHAINSAW.

IT HAPPENS. THE CHAINSAWS CAN GET WEDGED IN,

AND I'LL NEVER LET HIM LIVE IT DOWN,

BUT EMBARRASSING.

ACCIDENTS HAPPEN TO EVERYBODY.

NOT TO ME.

HE'S MAD. HE AN ANGRY SMURF.

BUILDING THE BARN, I WOULD SAY,

IS DEFINITELY THE FIRST, LIKE, STEP

TO MAKING WASHINGTON OUR HOME.

IT'S PRETTY EARLY IN THE PROJECT FOR BAM TO BE EXPLODING.

WE HAVE TO GET THIS DONE.

SO JUST HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY MELLOWS OUT A LITTLE BIT.

ELECTRICITY RUNS IN A CIRCLE.

POSITIVE. NEGATIVE.

EQUIPPED WITH A FRESH LOAD OF SCRAP MATERIALS

FROM THE LOCAL JUNK YARD,

BROTHER MATT HAS THE TOOLS NEEDED

TO PERFECT HIS FIRE-FEEDER DESIGN.

THE FIRST WELDER IS THE EASY CONCEPT.

YOU TAKE A CHAIN OF CAR BATTERIES,

WHICH GIVES YOU A LOT OF POWER,

AND YOU HOOK THEM IN TANDEM FROM ONE POST TO THE NEXT

UNTIL YOU'VE CREATED THE CIRCLE, WHICH IS YOUR ELECTRICITY.

I NOW HAVE CURRENT GOING FROM THE THREE BATTERIES

RUNNING TANDEM TO MY HOT WIRES.

TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THE BUSH WELDER,

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF DANGEROUS.

I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT ELECTRIC BURNS,

THE BATTERIES COULD BLOW UP

SAFETY FIRST.

I GET THIS PANICKY KIND OF FEELING

WHENEVER I DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS NOW.

I'M TRYING TO GET OVER IT

'CAUSE YOU CAN'T BE AFRAID OF THE WIND AND SAIL.

THERE WE GO.

THIS IS A TEST.

SO I'M GONNA TAKE THIS HERE SHOVEL

AND I'M GONNA TRY AND WELD ANOTHER TOOL TO IT.

WHOO! I CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE HELMET.

MIGHT HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT FOR A MINUTE.

♪♪

♪♪

YEAH, I'LL TAKE THAT.

I MELTED THE HAMMER.

OKAY.

CONTROLLING EXCITEMENT.

AS SOON AS THOSE SPARKS HIT THE SHOVEL,

I KNEW THAT I WAS GONNA BE ABLE TO USE THIS

IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES.

I DID JUST WELD THE HAMMER TO THE SHOVEL.

OH, YEAH, OKAY.

THE FIRE FEEDER, IT'S PRETTY,

BUT IT'S STILL HELD TOGETHER WITH TAPE AND ROPE.

THIS WELDER GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY

TO NOT ONLY FIX THAT PROJECT,

BUT TO FIX OTHER PROJECTS FOR MY FAMILY.

TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY STEP UP LIKE THIS,

IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M ACHIEVING THINGS IN LIFE.

WHOO!

BUT THE WHOLE FAMILY'S EXTREMELY EXCITED.

JUST TO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW,

WE'RE GETTING BACK WHERE WE BELONG.

STILL GOT A FEW ROUGH SPOTS TO WORK OUT,

BUT IT'S COMING BACK. I'M SEEING THE WOLF PACK BACK.

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT'S TICKLING ME TO DEATH.

IT'S BEEN A HARD YEAR AND A HALF.

IT'LL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE TO GET BACK TO THAT POINT.

YEAH, I KNOW.

LAST YEAR, NOAH SEPARATED FROM THE WOLF PACK,

TRYING TO FIND HIS OWN PATH.

I BELONG WITH EVERYONE,

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SOMEWHERE THAT I COULD BE HAPPY.

EACH PERSON HAS GOT TO FOLLOW THEIR OWN ROAD.

HAVING A COMMON GOAL NOW, YOU KNOW,

AND GETTING EVERYBODY BACK TOGETHER,

THAT'S WHAT'S ALWAYS MADE US STRONG.

THAT'S WHY WE'VE ALWAYS WON.

WE HAVEN'T HAD FOR A WHILE. IT'S BEEN ALL SEPARATED.

YOU KNOW, NOAH HAS BEEN OUT FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW.

YEAH, I KNOW.

ISN'T IT WEIRD?

THE WARMTH OF A FIRE FEELS GOOD, BUT WE NEED LESS FIRE.

I WANT LESS FIRE OUT OF THIS.

HEY, GUYS.

CHECK OUT WHAT I GOT.

THE FIRE FEEDER.

I THINK THAT THE FIRE FEEDER IS PROBABLY

ONE OF THE COOLEST AND MOST APPLICABLE THINGS

I'VE EVER BUILT IN MY LIFE.

THIS SHOULD KEEP THE FIRE FED

LIKE, WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO, LIKE, GET UP AND FEED IT?

IN THEORY, I HOPE SO.

JUST REINFORCES THAT NO MATTER HOW GRAND MY DREAMS,

IF I HAVE THE STICK-TO-IT-NESS, I CAN DO IT.

OH, I WISH WE HAD HOT DOGS.

DO YOU WANT CHOCOLATE AND GRAHAM CRACKERS?

THAT COULD BE GOOD. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA DO IT.

YOU KNOW, WELL, MATT, JUST LIKE ALL OF US,

HAS BEEN OUT OF HIS ELEMENT FOR A WHILE NOW

AND HE CAN TAKE PRIDE IN HIMSELF,

YOU KNOW, THAT HIS JOB WAS SUCCESSFUL.

WHEN WE GOT TO BROWNTOWN ORIGINALLY,

I WENT WALKING UP THE BEACH THE FIRST TIME,

SCRAPPING MY LITTLE PUP TENT

TO MOVE INTO THAT HOLE IN THE GROUND.

AND THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF THIS KIND OF REMINDS ME OF RIGHT NOW

IS THAT ROUGH START.

BROWNTOWN HAS GIVEN ME A HUNGER

TO START HERE AT THE LEVEL I LEFT THERE.

WE'VE DISCOVERED THAT THE FIREPLACE IN ANY CAMP

IS KIND OF LIKE THE HEART OF THE FAMILY.

WE'VE JUST INVENTED SOMETHING -- SMOKED CHOCOLATES.

- DELICIOUS. - OOH, SMOKED CHOCOLATE.

- YEAH. - IT'S GOOD.

AND THE FIRE FEEDER BEING THE FIRST PROJECT,

IT JUST IT GIVES A LOT OF FAITH AS TO WHAT WE CAN DO HERE.

OH BOY, YEAH.

I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO YOU, IT DOES KIND OF WORK.

KIND OF?

- OH! - AH!

DID YOU SEE THAT?! YES!

WHAT WERE YOU SAYING, RAIN?

LIKE, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE, LIKE, ALL BEEN TOGETHER,

AND I THINK ONCE EVERYBODY GETS BACK,

THAT'S WHEN THIS WILL BE OUR FOREVER HOME.

WE INVENTED TWO WONDERFUL THINGS TODAY.

A FIRE FEEDER AND ALSO MELTED SMOKED CHOCOLATE.

LET'S MAKE SOME MORE S'MORES.

AWESOME RANCH. COOL RANCH.

ANOTHER BRANCH TO CUT THESE THINGS.

BIRD, STAND CLEAR. HE'S ACTING LIKE A MADMAN.

IN THE HIGH WOODLANDS OF NORTHERN WASHINGTON,

THE BROWNS ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP PACE

ON THEIR FIRST MAJOR PROJECT FOR THEIR NEW HOMESTEAD.

EVEN LIMBING THIS THING, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO MOVE IT.

IT'S TOO BIG.

YEAH, WITHOUT THE SAW, ESPECIALLY.

AND THOUGH PROGRESS AT THEIR BARN SITE IS SLIPPING,

THE ARRIVAL OF ONE MEMBER PROMISES TO RESTORE LIFE

AS A WOLF PACK ONCE MORE.

THE PAST YEAR HAS PUT EVERYONE THROUGH A LOT.

I'M JUST HOPING THAT EVERYTHING WORKS OUT WITH THE FAMILY,

'CAUSE I GUESS WE'VE ALL CHANGED.

WE'RE IN A NEW STATE, NEW PIECE OF PROPERTY,

DIFFERENT NOAH, SAME HAIR, SAME STYLE.

STILL LIKE THE BLACK.

YOU SON OF A GUN.

IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU MAN.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YA, BROTHER.

WELL, SEEING NOAH AGAIN FELT WONDERFUL,

LIKE A KID COMING HOME FROM WAR.

OH, BABE.

LOOK AT YOU.

WHEN I SAW THAT LOOK ON HIS FACE

WHEN HE WAS HUGGING MOM, GOD, IT KIND OF WARMS YOU UP.

SO MUCH TO CATCH YOU UP ON. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

IT'S BEEN A LONG YEAR AND A HALF.

OH, MAN, YEAH. IT'S BEEN A HARD ONE, TOO.

- YEAH. - MAN, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

I GUESS THE BEST WAY TO PHRASE IT WOULD BE A LOT HAS HAPPENED.

MY GALLBLADDER WENT BAD ON ME.

OH, MAN.

I GAINED A LOT OF, LIKE, I GUESS,

WATER WEIGHT YOU COULD CALL IT

BECAUSE THE ORGAN WAS BAD, SO MY BODY WAS TRYING TO CUSHION IT.

GOOD GOD, MAN.

BY THE TIME THEY REMOVED IT,

IT WAS DOUBLE THE SIZE THAT IT SHOULD'VE BEEN.

I ACTUALLY ASKED IF I COULD KEEP THE GALLBLADDER,

BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULDN'T

'CAUSE THEY HAD TO RUN TESTS ON IT.

SO THAT WAS SOMETHING.

I'M GOOD TO GO, THOUGH.

IT'S BEEN LONG ENOUGH.

EVERYTHING'S HEALED.

- THAT'S GOOD, MAN. - YEAH.

I NEED YOUR INGENUITY

'CAUSE WE JUST THINK WE HAVE WORK TO DO BEFORE.

MY DREAMS ARE GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER.

I'M TALKING LIVESTOCK HORSES.

WE'VE GOT A BARN SITE CLEARING DOWN THERE.

SO YOU'RE STARTING A RANCH.

YOU'RE DARN RIGHT WE ARE.

ACTUALLY, I BROUGHT MY SKETCH PAD WITH ME.

I'M GLAD.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO HAVE PROBLEMS

THAT I NEED TO SOLVE AND THINGS THAT NEED TO BE MADE.

I WOULDN'T SAY THAT I'M RUSTY AT ALL.

I'M UP TO PAR AND READY TO BUILD.

WELCOME HOME, NOAH.

YEAH, I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK.

HAVING NOAH BACK, HAVING THE ENTIRE FAMILY BACK TOGETHER,

THAT REALLY IS THE BEGINNING OF THE DREAM.

THIS RANCH IS A FAMILY RANCH.

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT,

BUT IT'S A LIFETIME OF WORK, IS WHAT IT IS.

AND IT'S GONNA TAKE EVERYBODY

WORKING PROBABLY HARDER THAN WE EVER HAVE.

IT'S SO DRY OUT HERE.

IT DOESN'T TAKE A LOT OF HEAT TO TURN MY CHEEKS SUPER RED.

AS THE DAYS GROW LONGER ACROSS THE NORTHWEST FRONTIER...

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE OVERHEATING.

THANKS, BAM. THANKS.

...THE BROWN SIBLINGS CONTINUE CLEARING THEIR FUTURE BARN SITE,

BUT HAVE LITTLE TO SHOW, AXING BY HAND.

RIGHT.

BY THE VERY FIRST OF SUMMER, THE BARN HAS TO BE BUILT.

IT DID NOT TAKE VERY LONG TO REALIZE THAT

THE GUYS WORKING BY HAND WAS NOT GONNA HANDLE IT.

TO BE HONEST, WE WEREN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO PULL THIS OFF

WITHOUT EQUIPMENT.

OH, YEAH. HERE WE GO.

FOLLOWING A LEAD FROM A LOCAL FARMER,

BILLY BARTERED TO SECURE AN OLD BULLDOZER AS A LOAN.

YO, GUYS!

I'D RENTED A COUPLE OF BULLDOZERS TILL I GOT TO ALASKA.

- I REALLY ENJOY THEM. - LOOKS GOOD.

A GOOD FRIEND OF OURS WHO'S GONE NOW, DELBERT, HAD A D4.

BUT WITH THAT ONE, YOU HAD TO PUT YOUR FOOT UP ON THE DASH

AND PULL WITH ALL YOUR HEART JUST TO TURN IT.

LOOK WHAT FOLLOWED ME HOME. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

IT'S KIND OF SMALL.

GOOD LORD, "B."

WELL, Y'ALL SCOOT OUT OF THE WAY.

LET'S SEE WHAT THIS THING WILL DO.

OKAY, I'M READY. LET'S DO IT.

- NO, GET DOWN, BEAR. - AW.

NO. NOT GONNA GET USED TO IT, MAN.

OKAY.

YOU KNOW, DA'S ALWAYS DONE THAT, YOU KNOW,

AS KIDS, WE'D BE WORKING AND WORKING AND, YOU KNOW,

HE'S SUPER DA, YOU KNOW, AND HE SAVES THE DAY.

AWESOME! AWESOME! I LOVE IT!

NOW, THAT IS GONNA MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.

OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH. HERE WE GO.

THE BARN, TO BEGIN WITH, IT'S A BIG PROJECT.

THE DOZER DEFINITELY CHANGES EVERYTHING.

AND IT'S, LIKE, NO, THIS IS FUN AGAIN.

COME ON BABY, DIG.

OH, YEAH.

I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE.

AH, SHOOT. DON'T DO THAT.

DON'T DO THAT. HANG ON.

♪♪

SHOOT.

IT'S DIGGING UNDER.

YOU MIGHT CAN USE THAT TO LIFT YOU.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN OR NOT.

WHAT'S STOPPING YOU FROM GOING FORWARDS?

- THE MUD. I'M STUCK. - NO TRACTION.

WE HAVE A BUNCH OF LIMBS.

LET'S JUST GET THEM FROM THERE AND STICK UNDER IT

SO IT HAS SOMETHING TO GRAB.

- LET'S DO IT. - LET'S DO IT.

YOU FOUND THE ONE SPOT THAT WASN'T ROCK.

IT'S, OF COURSE, BROWN LUCK, LIKE,

THE FIRST 20 MINUTES DA'S ON THE DOZER

HE GETS IT STUCK IN THE MUDDIEST PLACE.

WE JUST NEED TO CLEAR THE MUD

SO WE CAN PUT THOSE BIG BRANCHES UNDERNEATH IT,

AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHING THE BITE.

ALL RIGHT.

WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN STRATEGIES FOR THINGS,

EVEN IF WE ARE ALL DOING THE EXACT SAME THING.

DON'T GET IN THERE, BEAR.

YEAH, DON'T DO THAT, MAN.

I DO THINK A FEW OF MY SIBLINGS HAVE A TENDENCY TO RUSH

BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH IS IN FRONT OF THEM.

THIS IS MORE MANUAL LABOR

THAN I THOUGHT A BULLDOZER WOULD REQUIRE.

YOU APPARENTLY DON'T REMEMBER THE OLD DAYS.

IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, WE'RE JUST GONNA KEEP DIGGING,

HITTING MORE BRANCHES AND KEEP WORKING AT IT.

IT'S NOT THE WAY YOU WANT TO DO IT.

COME ON, BABY, DIG.

LET'S GO.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GETTING MORE AND MORE STUCK.

I KNOW, "B," BUT I'M MAKING IT THIS WAY.

JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING,

AND WE'LL GET OUT OF HERE.

WE'RE GETTING IT, BAM.

SHOULDN'T IT BE ABLE TO PUSH THE DIRT HERE?

IT HAS NO TRACTION. IT'S DIGGING IN, MAN.

RIGHT, BUT SHOVELING THIS SIDE

IS NOT GONNA GIVE IT TRACTION.

YEAH, JUST DIG.

IT'S BEEN A LITTLE WHILE SINCE I'VE WORKED WITH BAM.

I REALLY FEEL LIKE HE'S TAKEN THE BAM ATTITUDE

AND HE'S JUST -- HE'S COME BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.

YOUR BACK END IS JUST GOING LOWER AND LOWER AND LOWER.

SO IT'S, LIKE, COME ON.

LET'S NOT BUTT HEADS, AND LET'S WORK TOGETHER AND DO THIS.

BAM, WHY DON'T YOU HELP HIM A LITTLE?

YOUR BACK END IS JUST DIGGING DEEPER AND DEEPER DOWN.

AW, COME ON.

WHILE EXPLORING A NEARBY SCRAPYARD,

OLDEST BROTHER MATT REKINDLED A LOST FLAME.

GOOD LUCK!

197 TIRES WAITING HERE FOR ME.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU

FOR ALL THAT YOU GAVE ME -- SHELTER, COMPANY.

I STARTED TO SAY ROMANCE,

BUT THERE WAS REALLY NO ROMANCE INVOLVED AT ALL.

BACK IN ALASKA,

I BROUGHT HOME 197 TIRES, AND I BUILT A HOUSE OUT OF IT.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK? - I AM IMPRESSED.

THANK YOU.

BUT THIS NEW DIRECTION I'M TRYING TO TAKE IN MY LIFE,

I NEED SOMETHING SERIOUS.

WHY DON'T WE GET ONE, AND WE'LL MAKE A TIRE SWING?

WHICH ONE DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYE ON?

THIS ONE.

NO, THIS ONE.

SHOOT.

WHAT'S STOPPING YOU FROM GOING FORWARDS?

- THE MUD. I'M STUCK. - NO TRACTION.

AW, COME ON.

AFTER GAINING SOME MOMENTUM CLEARING LAND FOR THEIR BARN,

THE WOLF PACK HAS FOUND THEMSELVES IN A CRITICAL JAM.

WE HAVE A BUNCH OF LIMBS.

LET'S JUST GET THEM FROM THERE AND STICK UNDER IT

SO IT HAS SOMETHING TO GRAB.

- I TOLD YOU IT WAS TOO SMALL. - JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE.

AS THEIR BORROWED MACHINERY SINKS DEEPER INTO THE SOFT SOIL,

BILLY'S VISION FOR A FAMILY RANCH HANGS IN THE BALANCE.

YOU WANT ME TO DIG OUT THE BACK?

I DON'T THINK YOU CAN.

THE BULLDOZER'S A VERY IMPORTANT ITEM.

I GOT HER STUCK, AND I GOT HER STUCK GOOD.

EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO, IF IT'S NOT RIGHT,

IT MAKES THE SITUATION WORSE.

AW, COME ON.

I CAN ALMOST SEE UNDER IT.

Y'ALL GOT SOME MORE LOGS SOMEWHERE?

I THINK THERE ARE A COUPLE MORE OF THE BIG ONES UP THERE.

- LET'S GET SOME MORE UNDER IT. - GOTCHA.

I ALWAYS TRY MY BEST TO, LIKE, MAKE EVERYONE WORK AS A TEAM,

EVEN IF EVERYBODY ISN'T SEEING EYE TO EYE.

AS LONG AS WE JUST KEEP AT IT AND, YOU KNOW,

WORK TOGETHER, WE CAN DO IT.

IT WAS KIND OF WANTING TO CATCH.

SO IF WE CAN JUST STICK IT UNDER THERE JUST A LITTLE,

- ENOUGH I DON'T IT CAN GRAB IT. - GOTCHA.

I CAN TRUST BIRD TO KIND OF KEEP

THE WEIGHTS BALANCED WITH EVERYONE

BECAUSE EVERYONE'S SO DIFFERENT.

GET SOME ON THIS OTHER SIDE.

SHE HAS SUCH A DRIVE.

SHE TAKES THINGS AS WE NEED THEM NO MATTER WHAT

AND FIGURED OUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

SHE'S GIVEN 110% ON EVERYTHING.

♪♪

- ALMOST. THERE WE GO. - OH, YEAH.

GO, BABY, GO. COME ON.

- YOU'RE GETTING IT. - OH, YEAH.

OH YEAH.

OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH.

YOU KNOW, IT FELT REALLY GOOD WHEN WE FINALLY GOT IT OUT

BECAUSE IT WAS, LIKE, SO STUCK.

WE'RE JUST WORKING ON IT,

AND WE'RE WORKING ON IT TOGETHER.

- GOOD JOB. THAT GOOD FUN. - YEAH, WE DID IT.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY, IT'S BEEN LONG ENOUGH.

GETTING THE DOZER STUCK, YEAH, OKAY,

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE ROCKY START,

BUT IT'S NOT THE WAY I LOOK AT IT.

WE GOT THAT OUT OF THE WAY, YOU KNOW?

THE BICKERING BACK AND FORTH AND ALL,

THAT'S JUST -- THAT'S A PART OF IT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, SEEING ALL OF US TOGETHER AS ONE GROUP AGAIN

WORKING AT THAT ONE THING, I CAN SEE IT HAPPENING.

I CAN SEE THAT THIS IS GONNA WORK AGAIN.

AND THIS DREAM'S GONNA BE A REALITY.

LET'S DO IT AGAIN.

♪♪

BEAR, YOU DO MOM'S.

- I'LL DO DA'S. - SURE.

- MOM BARELY LIKES ANY BURNED. - I KNOW.

YOU JUST LET MOM'S LOOK AT THE FIRE, SCARED LIKE,

AND THEN GIVE IT TO HER.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO DA'S.

WITH THEIR BARN PROJECT BACK ON TRACK,

THE BROWNS GATHER TO CELEBRATE IN THE WILD AS A FULL FAMILY

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A YEAR.

LOOK AT US.

THE LAST ONE MADE IT AND WE'RE ALL TOGETHER

AND WE'RE ALL ALIVE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINTOP.

HOW COULD ANYONE BE MORE BLESSED?

I THINK THAT WE FOUND A GOOD HOME HERE IN WASHINGTON.

- I LOVE Y'ALL. - I LOVE YOU MORE.

AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE ALL TOGETHER

AND COULD SHARE THIS HOME, IT'S A TREASURE.

WE DO NEED TO DO ONE THING HERE, THOUGH.

IT'S SERIOUS.

WE NEED TO NAME FOR THIS PLACE.

I THOUGHT WE'D JUST KEEP BROWN TOWN.

BROWN TOWN ISN'T HERE.

BROWN MOUNTAIN.

NEW BROWNSVILLE.

I LIKE LONG, LONG RANCH, PERSONALLY.

TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. TOP OF THE WORLD.

TOP OF THE WORLD RANCH. THAT'S NOT BAD.

AWESOME COOL EXTREME TOWN.

ONE WE MIGHT REALLY WANT TO NAME IT.

AWESOME RANCH. COOL RANCH.

I VOTE COOL RANCH.

YEAH. YOU CAN'T BEAT IT.

I DON'T KNOW. FREEDOM TOWN. BEAR TOWN. EXTREME TOWN.

OOH, THAT HAS A GOOD RING TO IT.

AWESOME COOL EXTREME TOWN, ABBREVIATED AS A.C.E.

AWESOME PLACE WOULDN'T BE TOO BAD.

AWESOME -- THEY'LL PROBABLY GET SHOT DOWN.

I'LL LET SOMEONE PICK THE NAME.

I DO HAVE ONE.

I GREW UP REALLY GOOD.

YOU KNOW, MY DAD WORKED ALL THE TIME.

THIS RIGHT HERE WAS HIS DREAM.

SINCE HE WAS A KID, WHEN THE FAMILY DIED,

I REALIZED THAT IT WASN'T EVEN A DREAM TO ME.

IT WAS WHAT LIFE WAS GONNA BE.

HAS A LOT OF SIGNIFICANCE TO ALL OF US, BEING BOAT PEOPLE,

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU GET LOST?

YOU FOLLOW THE NORTH STAR.

NORTH STAR RANCH.

- OOH. - OH, WOW. I VOTE THAT ONE.

THE NORTH STAR IS THE ONLY CONSTANT THERE IS.

IT'S A BEARING.

YOU STAY THAT COURSE, YOU WILL GO HOME.

I GOT THE DIPPER.

I'VE GOT THE ANCHOR THAT I EARNED, TO ME,

AND THE NORTH STAR.

- NORTH STAR RANCH. - TO NORTH STAR RANCH.

I THINK I'M GONNA FOLLOW-UP ON THAT.

- I GO NORTH STAR RANCH, TOO. - I DO LIKE IT.

I'M STANDING UP FOR IT, GUYS. YOU WANT TO HEAR A HOWL?

YOU WITH ME, EVERYBODY?

♪♪

NORTH STAR RANCH!

♪♪

WHEN NOAH WALKED BACK IN AND EVERYBODY GOT BACK TOGETHER,

WE REALIZED WE'RE STRONG INDIVIDUALLY, FOR SURE.

ONCE YOU PUT US TOGETHER, WE'RE UNSTOPPABLE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY CHILDHOOD IS BACK ALIVE AND IN FRONT OF ME.

THAT'S THE CIRCLE OF LIFE, AND I'D LIKE TO CLOSE IT UP

FOR MY DAD AND MY FAMILY BEFORE ME.

WE FOUND OUR PLACE, I THINK.

THE BROWNS ARE HOME.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE"...

TIMBER!

...AS THE BROWNS LAY THE GROUNDWORK

FOR A NEW FUTURE IN THE BUSH...

THAT'S MY BABY!

...THE FAMILY FIGHTS TO RECLAIM THEIR INDEPENDENCE IN THE WILD.

PROVIDING FOR EVERYBODY MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.

IT'S TIME TO GO KILL SOMETHING.

-...BUT IN A RUGGED NEW FRONTIER...

GUYS, THAT'S A LAKE IN THE ROAD.

-LOOK AT THAT.

-...AN UNFAMILIAR HAZARD THREATENS TO DERAIL THEIR DREAM.

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

- HOW FAR TILL IT CLEARS?! THAT'S WHAT I'M WONDERING!
