OKAY, SO, THE GUN RANGE IS JUST UP HERE.

IT'S GOOD TO ALWAYS KEEP THE SKILLS SHARP.

I'M SOURLY OUT OF PRACTICE.

EVERYONE ON THE MOUNTAIN PULLS THEIR WEIGHT.

IF YOU'RE UP HERE, AND, LIKE, NOAH GETS EATEN,

YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF.

A LITTLE HIGH.

A LITTLE -- SHOOT A LITTLE LOWER.

I THINK THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH A BULL'S-EYE.

I'M TEMPTED TO MAKE YOU, LIKE, SHOOT WHILE HOLDING SOMETHING,

IN CASE YOU HAVE TO SHOOT EVER HOLDING A BABY.

YOU KNOW, WHEN THE BUN'S OUT OF THE OVEN,

HUNTING'S ALWAYS AN OPTION.

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

THIS WATER IS COMPLETELY FROZEN.

WINTER IS DEFINITELY HERE, AND WE'RE NOT PREPARED.

...WINTER CATCHES THE BROWNS BY SURPRISE.

HIT IT!

IT'S LIKE A LITTLE HOT TUB, BUT ICE COLD.

AND THE SIBLINGS MUST ADDRESS URGENT NEEDS OF SURVIVAL.

TAKE IT NICE AND EASY GOING DOWN.

BUT WITH ONE CHANCE

TO BRING FATHER BILLY BACK TO THE MOUNTAIN...

WORST-CASE SCENARIO, IT FLIPS OVER.

GO! GUN IT!

...THE WOLF PACK TAKES THEIR BIGGEST RISK YET.

I'M CONFIDENT WE CAN DO IT FOR MOM AND DAD.

I DON'T CARE WHAT AMOUNT OF WORK I HAVE TO DO.

RIGHT NOW, I HAVE ZERO CONTROL.

- HEY! - WHOA!

IT'S NOT WORKING!

HE NEEDS TO TURN.

SCI-FI.

YOU LAY ON MY CHEST.

YOU'RE A CHEST KITTY. THERE YOU GO.

JUST LAY DOWN, LITTLE HEATER.

THE CHANGING SEASON BRINGS FREEZING TEMPERATURES

TO THE BROWNS' MOUNTAIN HOMESTEAD.

WINTER IS DEFINITELY HERE, AND WE'RE NOT PREPARED.

JUST IN THE LAST FEW DAYS,

THE TEMPERATURE HAS, LIKE, DRASTICALLY CHANGED.

IT FEELS CLOSE TO 20, MAYBE IN THE TEENS.

WATER STARTS FREEZING. BOARDS START FREEZING TOGETHER.

AND IT JUST MAKES IT A LITTLE HARDER.

AND THE SIBLINGS ARE LEFT TO CARE FOR THE RANCH

THROUGH THEIR FIRST FULL WINTER IN NORTHERN WASHINGTON.

SO FAR, THE WASHINGTON WEATHER'S

A LOT STRONGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE HAVE GOING RIGHT NOW

IS WINTERIZING THE ANIMALS.

DAD WAS SAYING, LIKE, THAT BRUTUS CAN SURVIVE

IN, LIKE, SUBZERO TEMPERATURES.

HEY, BRUTUS.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE WARM THIS WINTER

'CAUSE IF WE LOSE OUR LIVESTOCK,

WE'RE GONNA LOSE ALL OF THE RENEWABLE RESOURCES

THAT WE'VE WORKED FOR SO HARD.

LOOK AT MAMA COCO AND MIA.

YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE GETTING THEIR WINTER COATS,

SO I'D LIKE TO GET SOME KIND OF LITTLE SHACK UP FOR THEM.

WE HAVE TO JUST WORK SUPER-HARD TO GET EVERYTHING PREPARED.

BRUTUS AND THE GIRLS' WATER IS, LIKE, JUST COMPLETELY FROZEN.

THERE HAS TO BE SOME WAY TO KEEP IT HEATED.

NEXT TIME IT STARTS SNOWING,

THEN THERE'S NO TELLING WHEN IT'S GOING TO QUIT.

ADDED TO THAT IS THE EXTRA HARDSHIP THAT DAD'S NOT HERE

'CAUSE WE'RE SO USED TO LEANING ON DAD,

YOU KNOW, FOR HIS GUIDANCE AND HIS HELP.

WITH HIM NOT ON THE MOUNTAIN, IT'S EVEN HARDER.

AFTER COLLAPSING ON THE MOUNTAIN,

BILLY WAS RUSHED TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL,

WHERE HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A SEVERE CASE OF PNEUMONIA.

I WILL NOT QUIT, AND I KNOW Y'ALL WON'T QUIT, EITHER.

LET'S GET WHAT WE HAVE DOWN THERE,

THE ANIMALS THAT ARE THERE --

GET THEM TO WHERE THEY CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH THE WINTER

AND GET THEM TO WHERE THEY CAN BE ADDED ONTO WHERE THEY ARE.

BUT THE FAMILY PATRIARCH IS FIGHTING BACK,

AND DOCTORS BELIEVE A RETURN TO THE MOUNTAIN IS POSSIBLE

IF HE CAN LIVE AT A LOWER ALTITUDE.

YOU KNOW, DAD'S THE STRONGEST PERSON THAT I KNOW,

AND HE HAS THE WILLPOWER TO MATCH IT.

AND NOW THAT HE CAN GO BACK TO THE MOUNTAIN,

WE NEED TO BE READY FOR HIM.

WE CAN GO AHEAD AND GET IT MOVED DOWN TO THE BARN.

SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO LONG TO GET THEM ON.

AND IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP UP THEIR LIVESTOCK,

THE KIDS HAVE PUT A HALT ON THEIR HOUSE BUILDS

AND MOVED THEIR TEEPEES CLOSER TO THE BARN.

I GOT IT, GUYS.

BUT THEIR PARENTS' TEMPORARY SHELTER

STILL REMAINS AT ONE OF THE MOUNTAIN'S HIGHEST ELEVATIONS.

IT'S GONNA HAVE WIDE TURNS,

SO LET'S JUST MAKE SURE, BEFORE WE GET IN IT, MOVING IT,

THAT THERE'S, LIKE, CORNERS WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO MAKE.

MOM'S AND DAD'S TRAILER IS ABOUT TWO MILES FROM THE BARN.

I MEAN, THERE'S LESS AIR UP THERE, FOR SURE.

LIKE, EVEN I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

WE JUST NEED TO GET IT OUT AND GET IT DOWN.

THERE ISN'T ANOTHER OPTION.

THE SIBLINGS' PLAN --

TO TOW THEIR PARENTS' 5,000-POUND TRAILER

TWO MILES DOWN TO THE BARN SITE.

AND WITH A DIFFERENCE IN ALTITUDE OF NEARLY 1,000 FEET,

IT'S THE ONLY HOPE

FOR THEIR FATHER TO RETURN TO THE HOMESTEAD.

SHE'S SLIDING DOWN IT.

YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY GONNA BE A LITTLE SLICK.

BUT THE ICY ROADS WILL BE THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THEIR SUCCESS.

WORST-CASE SCENARIO --

IT FLIES OFF THE ROAD AND FLIPS OVER,

AND THE TRAILER'S TOTALED.

OH, AND I'M KILLED.

BAM IS REACTING LIKE BAM DOES

TO SITUATIONS THAT INVOLVE HIM MOVING ANYTHING.

HE'S DOUBTFUL THE TRUCK WILL PULL IT

OR THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET IT DOWN ALL THE ICY ROADS.

MAYBE IT'S A BAD IDEA TO MOVE IT,

AND WE SHOULD JUST WAIT UNTIL SPRING.

I THINK THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE TIMES

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PULL TOGETHER,

ALL COME UP WITH WAYS TO MAKE IT EASIER.

IT'S NOT LIKE A SITUATION WHERE YOU CAN THINK OF A SOLUTION.

THERE ARE WAYS THAT YOU COULD MAKE IT BETTER.

I MEAN, I THINK PICKAXING THE ROAD WAS A NICE IDEA.

MOVING THIS R.V. LIKE THIS IS NOT AN EASY FEAT.

ONE, THIS TRUCK DOESN'T HAVE ANY HOOK-UPS

FOR THE BRAKES AND THINGS ON THE TRAILER.

SECONDLY, IT'S VERY ICY TO MOVE IT RIGHT NOW.

I'M CONFIDENT WE CAN DO IT.

THIS IS KIND OF A HAVE-TO THING.

WE HAVE TO MOVE IT FOR DAD.

THERE ARE A LOT OF RISKS TO MOVING THE R.V.,

AND THERE'S A LOT THAT COULD GO WRONG.

WORKING TOGETHER IS REALLY THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GET THIS DONE.

ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE THE TRAILER, THEN.

IT SHOULD JUST BE A MATTER

OF LATCHING ON AND THEN HAULING IT.

IT SOUNDS PRETTY SIMPLE IF THE GUYS WOULD HURRY UP.

YEAH, I'M GONNA CLIMB UP TO THE TOP AND GIVE A HOWL.

ALL RIGHT, LET THEM KNOW WE'RE READY.

MM-HMM.

AFTER SPENDING THE MORNING

SECURING THEIR PARENTS' TRAILER,

BEAR AND GABE AWAIT THE ARRIVAL

OF BROTHER BAM IN THE FARM TRUCK...

...TO BEGIN THE DANGEROUS TOW DOWN-MOUNTAIN.

NO REPLY. I DO HEAR A VEHICLE.

BUT WITH A THICK LAYER OF SNOW COATING THEIR ONLY ACCESS ROAD,

GETTING THE VEHICLE TO THE TRAILER

IS PROVING MORE DIFFICULT THAN EXPECTED.

IS THAT -- YEAH, THAT'S THE TRUCK.

DANG IT. WE BETTER GO DOWN AND HELP HIM.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S CHAINED UP YET.

OKAY. ON MY WAY.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING RIGHT NOW

IS TO GET THE VEHICLES AS READY AS WE CAN.

IT'S A PRETTY HEAVY TRAILER.

WE DO HAVE A GOOD TRUCK FOR IT, THOUGH,

SO I'M JUST HOPING NOTHING CATCHES US UNAWARE

AND THAT WE CAN GET THIS THING DOWN WITHOUT A HITCH.

DID YOU KICK IT IN FOUR-WHEEL, THEN?

YEAH.

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL THAT.

TELL THAT TO THE TRUCK.

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL THAT.

DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ONES?

DO THOSE HAVE I-CLEATS ON THEM, OR ARE THEY REGULAR?

SHOULD BE FINE.

YOU EVER PUT THESE ON BEFORE?

UH, NO. I HAVEN'T.

THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING, THOUGH.

WELL, SHE CAN'T MAKE IT UPHILL.

SHE'S NOT GONNA TAKE THE TRAILER.

YEAH, WELL, IT'S DOWNHILL, LUCKILY.

BAM DOESN'T REALIZE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY LOOK UP TO HIM.

THEY DO.

SO WHEN BAM'S LIKE, "YOU KNOW, THIS IS ALL GONNA FAIL,"

AND HE'S LIKE THAT, IT REALLY -- WELL, IT LOWERS THE MORALE.

THAT'S WHY IT'S BEST TO ALWAYS STAY POSITIVE,

AND HE WHO DARES WINS.

DO IT.

NOW, I'M JUST HERE TO DRIVE.

I'M NOT DOING THE MANUAL LABOR.

NO WORRIES.

THAT'S FOR THE GRUNTS LIKE YOU.

I THINK JUST LAY IT ON AND SNAP THE TWO.

"I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT."

MOVE THEM AROUND AND SNAP IT ON.

NASCAR PIT CREW YOU ARE NOT.

I MEAN, WE HAVE BUILT SOME MONUMENTAL STRUCTURES.

WE HAVE USED THE EGYPTIAN RAILROAD TO HAUL GIANT BEAMS.

WE'VE DRUG AN ENTIRE CABIN ALL THE WAY ACROSS A BEACH,

AND BAM DOESN'T THINK WE CAN GET CHAINS ON A TRUCK.

COME ON, MAN.

BUT THE DRIVE UP THE ICY ROADS

SHE CAN BARELY MOVE HER OWN WEIGHT.

WE'RE GOING DOWNHILL.

NOT THE WHOLE WAY. YEAH.

SHE HAS TO PULL THE TRAILER.

DOWNHILL, LIKE, THE WHOLE WAY.

SHE CAN'T PULL HERSELF.

HOW'S SHE GONNA PULL THE TRAILER?

SHE CAN'T PULL HER OWN WEIGHT.

YEAH, JUST 'CAUSE YOU WERE UPHILL.

ONCE YOU HAVE A LITTLE DIRT TO GRAB ONTO,

SHE'LL DO JUST FINE.

WELL, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF THAT WORRY

IN THE BACK OF MY MIND -- A LITTLE BIT OF DANGER

THAT BAM MIGHT END UP CRASHING THAT WHOLE TRAILER

STRAIGHT INTO A SNOW BERM,

I'M QUITE CONFIDENT WE WILL MAKE IT.

IF HE CAN JUST TAKE IT SLOW AND STEADY

AND LISTEN TO HIS TEAM,

THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THAT TRAILER

ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BARN.

IF WE RUN INTO ANY PROBLEMS,

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GRAB A PICK,

DIG A LITTLE BIT, HIT IT FASTER.

IF WE RUN INTO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT,

WE'LL BURN THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO IT,

HI. HEY, GUYS.

SO, I NEED A SOLUTION TO STOP THE WATER FROM FREEZING.

THE TEMPERATURE HAS PLUMMETED ON THE MOUNTAIN,

BRINGING ELDEST DAUGHTER SNOWBIRD

NEW CONCERNS FOR THE FAMILY'S LIVESTOCK.

THE ANIMALS' WATER FREEZING DEFINITELY CAME UNEXPECTED.

YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, AT SOME POINT,

I KNEW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN,

BUT IT JUST -- IT HAPPENED SO QUICK.

WE SHOULD HAVE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION BEFOREHAND,

BUT LIKE ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, WINTER DID CATCH US,

AND SO DID THE FREEZING WATER.

BASICALLY, WE'RE GONNA TAKE THIS WATER PUMP,

AND INSTEAD OF, LIKE, HEATING THE WATER,

WE'RE JUST GONNA KEEP IT MOVING, IS THE IDEA.

OKAY.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT PUTTING, LIKE,

HOLES THROUGHOUT THIS, AS WELL,

SO THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE THING, THERE'S WATER COMING OUT.

WINTER'S HARD NO MATTER WHAT,

BUT WHEN YOU ADD TAKING CARE OF ANIMALS ON TOP OF THAT

THAT AREN'T JUST THE CATS AND CUPPY,

IT ADDS A WHOLE-NEW ASPECT TO IT.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT ONLY TAKING CARE OF NINE OR SO PEOPLE.

YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF LIKE 30-SOMETHING ANIMALS.

OKAY, PLUG IT IN.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS PLUGGED IN?

YEAH.

OH!

WHOA! THAT HAPPENED!

IT WORKS!

TAKE A LOOK. IT'S WORKING.

IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD.

IT GIVES IT A NICE TASTE, TO BE HONEST.

OH, THERE'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

YOU CAN TELL HOW COLD IT IS

WHEN YOUR RUBBER GLOVES ARE LITERALLY STICKING...

TO THE METAL.

TODAY, I'M WORKING

ON SOME OF THE CONCRETE FOUNDATION BLOCKS

FOR THE CASTLE.

I FIGURE THAT IF I MAKE THE CONCRETE BLOCKS

SIMILAR TO THESE CONCRETE BLOCKS,

THEY SHOULD WORK.

SO, THE FIRST STEP TO DOING THIS

IS GOING TO BE CUTTING OUT THE MOLD FOR THE CONCRETE.

THE FOUNDATION FOR ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY A CASTLE,

IS VERY IMPORTANT.

AFTER ALL, YOU CAN'T BUILD A CASTLE ON SAND.

I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT DIAMONDS ARE FORMED

UNDER GREAT AMOUNTS OF PRESSURE.

I'M FEELING THE PRESSURE.

THE DIFFICULT THING ABOUT CONCRETE IN WINTER IS

WHEN IT DROPS BELOW 20 DEGREES,

THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF IT ACTUALLY CHANGES,

AND THE MOLECULES THAT ARE BINDING STOP ENTIRELY.

THERE'S ONE MOLD.

THAT'LL WORK.

SO, THE IDEA IS, ONCE I GET CONCRETE POURED INTO THE MOLD,

I FIGURE I'LL CLOSE EVERYTHING DOWN,

BRING ONE OF MY HEATERS IN,

AND THEN PUT IT RIGHT UNDERNEATH IT

SO THAT IT KEEPS IT FROM FREEZING

AND HELPS IT CURE FASTER.

ONCE THE CONCRETE IS CURED AND FINISHED INSIDE OF THE MOLD,

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS UNSCREW THEM,

TAKE THE BOARDS OFF, AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

SO, WHILE THIS THING IS DOING ITS BIT AND DRYING,

I'M GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER MOLD AND KEEP GOING.

AND THEN I'LL START REUSING THEM.

THIS SHOULD WORK.

I'LL BE VERY SURPRISED IF SHE CAN EVEN MOVE THE TRAILER.

ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS,

ONCE WE GET THE TRAILER MOVING,

IS THAT IT'S GONNA PUSH THE TRUCK, GO TOO FAST.

IT COULD JACKKNIFE.

THAT IS SHEER ICE, AND WE'RE LOSING THE SUN.

IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO KEEP GOING.

WE SHOULD CALL IT. IT'S GETTING DANGEROUS.

LET'S PICK IT UP IN THE MORNING.

OKAY, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CALL IT, THEN.

NIGHT AND FREEZING CONDITIONS

FORCE THE BROWN SIBLINGS TO HALT THEIR MISSION UNTIL MORNING.

BUT THE RISING SUN OF THE NEW DAY

HAS LITTLE IMPACT ON THE DEEP FREEZE.

OH, MY GOSH.

OVERNIGHT, WE GOT A LOT OF SNOW.

AS MUCH AS I LIKE SNOW, I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS MUCH.

LAST NIGHT GOT PRETTY COLD.

I'D SAY MAYBE IN THE TEENS, LIKE THE LOW TEENS.

YOU CAN TELL THAT IT GOT REALLY COLD

BECAUSE, LIKE, UNDERNEATH ALL THIS FLUFFY NEW SNOW,

THERE'S, LIKE, A LAYER OF ICE LIKE ALMOST THAT.

THE ROADS ARE REALLY ICY RIGHT NOW.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT JUST TO STOP DOWN,

AND, YOU KNOW, LET NATURE HELP A LITTLE BIT

AND HOPE THE SUN MELTS THE ROADS.

AND WHILE THE KIDS WAIT

FOR THE TEMPERATURE TO SLOWLY CLIMB,

BROTHER GABE AND FIANCéE RAQUELL TURN THEIR ATTENTION

TO DAILY CHORES.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S REALLY DIRTY.

LOOK AT THIS.

OH, MY GOODNESS. THAT IS LIKE

A RECORD-SIZE COW PIE RIGHT THERE.

ACTUALLY, MAYBE WE SHOULD KEEP THAT.

THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE ON THE RANCH,

AND IT'S NOT ALL CLEAN.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE CLEANING OUT BRUTUS' BARN,

AND IT IS REALLY DISGUSTING.

DID YOU EVER THINK YOU'D BE DATING A FARMER?

HIGH HOPES.

RAQUELL'S NOT AFRAID TO GET HER HANDS DIRTY.

MOST PEOPLE, YOU MIGHT BE, LIKE, TURNED OFF,

BUT SHE SHOVELS POOP VERY WELL.

SHE LOOKS VERY PRETTY, AND SHE'S SHOVELING POOP,

WHICH IS A DEFINITE PLUS.

THIS THE MOST FUN I'VE EVER HAD CLEANING UP AFTER AN ANIMAL.

SEEING RAQUELL HELP ME SHOVEL THIS MANURE

KIND OF REASSURES ME.

IT'S LETTING ME KNOW THAT WE'RE THE KIND OF COUPLE

THAT CAN WORK TOGETHER,

SHOVELING BULL POOP ALL DAY

OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER HAPPENS.

YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE THICK AND THE THIN,

I THINK WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO STICK TOGETHER.

I DEFINITELY STILL WANT TO MARRY YOU.

I WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE THE WEDDING

JUNE 14th. AHH!

JUNE 14th, 'CAUSE, LIKE, WE GOT TOGETHER

AROUND VALENTINE'S DAY, WHICH IS THE 14th.

YEAH.

IS IT GONNA BE ONE OF THOSE, LIKE, IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS,

OR DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT HAVE TO POSTPONE AGAIN?

EH, I CAN NEVER REALLY SAY FOR SURE WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

I JUST NEED THAT REASSURANCE THAT IT'LL ACTUALLY HAPPEN

AND IT'S NOT JUST GONNA BE LIKE ANOTHER DAY.

NO. IT'S NOT GONNA BE LIKE THAT.

PINKY PROMISE ME THAT IT'LL BE ON JUNE 14th.

OOH, GIRL.

100%, JUNE 14th.

I'VE ALWAYS, LIKE, FANTASIZED ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE,

YOU KNOW, ON MY WEDDING DAY

AND WHAT KIND OF CEREMONY I WOULD HAVE

AND WHEN IT WOULD BE, AND, I DON'T KNOW, JUNE 14th,

IT'S JUST THE SOONEST, BEST DATE THAT WE COULD HAVE,

AND, QUITE FRANKLY, WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT,

THERE ARE LIKE LITTLE BELLS AND BIRDS FLYING IN MY MIND.

LET'S DO THIS THING!

OKAY, LET'S DO IT.

♪♪

- HEY, RORY. - HEY, GOOD MORNING, NOAH.

GOOD MORNING.

LAST TIME WE WERE HERE,

WE NOTICED THAT YOU HAD CINDER BLOCKS,

AND WE WERE WONDERING IF WE COULD PICK SOME OF THOSE UP.

SURE. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS BUILDING?

A CINDER BLOCK CASTLE.

WITH THE FOUNDATION BRICKS CURING,

NOAH AND HIS WIFE HAVE DESCENDED DOWN

THE FAMILY'S SNOW-COVERED MOUNTAIN

TO RORY'S JUNKYARD,

HOPING TO OBTAIN CINDER BLOCKS

FOR THE FRAME OF THEIR BUSH CASTLE.

LOOKS GOOD.

YEAH, THIS IS CLOSE ENOUGH.

LET'S DO THIS.

THERE ARE A TON OF CINDER BLOCKS.

HOW MANY DO YOU THINK WE'LL NEED?

I'M NOT SURE.

CAN YOUR JEEP CARRY A TON?

A LITERAL TON?

MY OLD VEHICLE HERE IS RATED FOR 500 POUNDS TONGUE WEIGHT,

WHICH MEANS 500 POUNDS IN THE BACK.

IT CAN EASILY TAKE MORE.

TODAY, IT'S GONNA HAVE TO KIND OF TAKE MORE.

SO, HOW MUCH MORE CAN WE GET UP THERE?

I THINK WE'RE DONE.

OKAY. LET'S GET THESE TIED DOWN

SO THEY DON'T WIGGLE.

THAT IS NOT A LOT OF JEEP SUSPENSION RIGHT THERE.

RHAIN ALISHA'S BEEN SEEING ME DO MY THING

FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS.

SHE'S SEEN ME FIX THINGS, AND, BY NOW,

SHE'S COMPLETELY USED TO IT

AND REALIZES THAT I'M THE TYPE OF GUY

THAT CAN MAKE SOMETHING, A REALLY GOOD HOME.

I THINK THAT SHOULD DO.

WE NEED A HOUSE.

WE NEED, LIKE, A SOLID STRUCTURE,

SOMEWHERE THAT'S EASY TO KEEP WARM

AND HAS ALL THE COMFORTS THAT A BABY NEEDS.

GOOD JOB. MWAH!

GOOD JOB. YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I'M GOOD. THE BABY'S OKAY?

I'M GOOD. OVERPROTECTIVE NOW IS OKAY?

YEAH.

IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO SAY WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

BECAUSE, WELL, THE WAY LIFE IS, IT CHANGES SO OFTEN.

IF YOU WANT TO HEAR GOD LAUGH, TELL HIM YOUR PLANS.

♪♪

I WISH WE WERE MINERS.

NOT, LIKE, UNDERAGE PEOPLE,

BUT, LIKE, MINERS FOR, LIKE, GOLD.

MID-DAY TEMPERATURES ON THE BROWNS' LAND

HAVE HOVERED AROUND FREEZING,

LEAVING BILLY AND AMI'S RV STRANDED

ON THE SIDE OF THE ICY MOUNTAIN ROAD.

WE'D GET TO USE PICKAXES, AND...

WE USE PICKAXES NOW.

YEAH, BUT WE DON'T GET ANY GOLD OUT OF IT.

AND IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT THE MOBILE HOME

TO A LOWER ALTITUDE FOR FATHER BILLY,

SISTERS BIRD AND RAIN TAKE PRECAUTIONS

AS THEY PREP FOR THE LAST LEG OF THE JOURNEY.

LET'S START HERE.

IT'S JUST PURE ICE.

THERE'S THIS MAIN PART OF THE ROAD

THAT I'M SUPER CONCERNED ABOUT.

IT'S SUPER STEEP, SUPER ICY,

SO I THINK RAIN AND I CAN, LIKE, HELP A LITTLE BIT.

WE'RE GONNA JUST CHIP IT AWAY, PUT SOME DIRT ON IT,

AND JUST, LIKE, GIVE IT SOME TRACTION

FOR THE TRAILER TO CATCH ON.

IF WE DO THIS A LOT MORE, AND, LIKE,

EVERYWHERE THAT'S SOLID ICE,

I THINK IT'LL MAKE IT A LOT EASIER TO GO DOWN.

AND THEN WE'LL GRAB SOME GRAVEL, THROW IT ON TOP OF THAT.

IT'S HARD HAVING TO PICKAXE WITH YOUR EYES CLOSE.

MOVING THE RV HAS DEFINITELY BEEN STRESSFUL,

YOU KNOW, FOR ALL OF US,

AND PICKAXING THE ROAD A LITTLE BIT,

IT'S NOT GONNA HELP A LOT.

IT IS WORKING.

LIKE, IT IS LESS SLICK.

BUT IT'S GOOD TO FEEL LIKE WE'RE HELPING, YOU KNOW?

IT'S GOOD FOR MORALE TO, LIKE, KEEP EVERYBODY POSITIVE.

AND BAM SAID PICKAXING WAS A BAD IDEA.

FOR MOM AND DAD, I DON'T CARE WHAT AMOUNT OF WORK I HAVE TO DO

FOR THEM TO LIVE COMFORTABLY.

EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE HARD WORK,

ALL THE YELLING, YOU KNOW,

IT'S ALL LED UP TO IF WE CAN GET IT

ALL THE WAY TO THE BARN.

I THINK WE MIGHT BE GOOD WITH THIS SPOT.

I THINK SO.

YEAH, I'M NOT SLIDING.

LET'S GO A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN.

DOWN THERE LOOKS SUPER ICY.

AFTER PICKAXING SOME OF THE MOST PERILOUS STRETCHES

OF ROAD, THE BROWN CHILDREN ARE READY

TO CONTINUE THEIR DESCENT.

ALL RIGHT, CLEAR!

-HERE'S SLICK. -SLOW, SLOW.

EASE IT IN, RIGHT THERE.

THIS WAY A LITTLE. GABE'S WAY A LITTLE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF TURNS

THAT WE STILL HAVEN'T MADE THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT.

I'M JUST HOPING OUR PATIENCE DEFINITELY PAYS OFF.

♪♪

-COMING UP...

WE HAPPEN TO KNOW THE GENDER OF THE CHILD.

NOAH SHARES NEW DETAILS

ABOUT A FUTURE MEMBER OF THE WOLF PACK.

SO, ARE YOU READY FOR THE REVEAL?

OKAY. READY?

- WHAT? YEAH!

I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO THIS SINCE FOREVER.

ME, TOO.

I THINK THE LAST IGLOO

THAT WE BUILT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

I REALLY LIKE THE SNOW.

I FEEL LIKE IT MAKES EVERYBODY HAPPIER,

ESPECIALLY YOU.

COMPLETELY AGREE.

RIGHT HERE'S WHERE MY BED'S GONNA BE.

YOU ABOUT READY FOR THAT NAP PART?

OH, I WAS FALLING ASLEEP.

GET BACK TO WORK!

OH, A WINDOW, NICE.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA MAKE IT SPIKED FOR SOME REASON.

TO KEEP YOU OUT.

THAT'S IN MY REAL HOUSE.

NO, I LIKE THE WINDOW IDEA.

I'M A LITTLE FAR ALONG,

SO I'M PROBABLY NOT GONNA DO --

WELL, I COULD DO A WINDOW BACK HERE.

THIS WINDOW'S BY THE DOOR, TOO,

SO I CAN SEE WHO'S KNOCKIN'.

WELL, YOU WERE ALWAYS THE BRAINS OF THE OUTFIT.

I MEAN, I ADMIT, YOU HAVE YOUR MOMENTS.

ARE YOU EATING THE HOUSE?

I WARNED YOU, SOME OF THE HOUSE WAS YELLOW, SO...

GUESS WE FOUND OUT WHERE THE BATHROOM SHOULD BE.

♪♪

YOU DID REALLY GOOD.

THERE WERE A COUPLE MOMENTS I THOUGHT

WE WERE GONNA LOSE IT BACK THERE.

A LITTLE BIT OF THAT WAS JUST FALLING WITH STYLE, MAN.

I COULD TELL.

FOR THE PAST 48 HOURS,

THE BROWN KIDS HAVE BEEN EXECUTING A PLAN

TO BRING THEIR FATHER SAFELY BACK TO THE RANCH.

SHE'S SLIDING SOMETHING FIERCE, MAN.

WITH BILLY'S HEALTH

AND THE FUTURE OF THEIR HOMESTEAD

HANGING IN THE BALANCE...

GO, GO, GO! GUN IT!

...THEY MUST SUCCESSFULLY MOVE THEIR PARENTS' TRAILER

MILES DOWN THE RUGGED ICY MOUNTAIN ROAD.

COME ON, BAM.

YEAH, IT'S A SHARP TURN!

♪♪

HE NEEDS TO NOT GET LIKE THIS.

THAT'S NOT GONNA DO IT. YOU'RE GONNA DIG IT INTO A HOLE.

IT'S JUST NOT GONNA DO IT.

YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD OF MY SIBLINGS

THAT NONE OF US ARE PEOPLE THAT GIVE UP.

NO MATTER HOW HARD LIFE HITS US, WE GET BACK UP,

AND WE ALWAYS GET BACK UP.

TURN THAT THING!

- YEAH! - YAY!

YES!

AFTER OVERCOMING THE IMPOSSIBLE,

THE BROWN SIBLINGS ARE NOW ONE STEP AWAY

FROM ACHIEVING THEIR GOAL.

HERE WE GO.

HOME STRETCH, GUYS!

THIS IS IT! I KNEW WE'D MAKE IT!

SEEING THAT RV PULL INTO THE BARN,

IT WAS DEFINITELY A MOMENT OF RELIEF

BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY TIMES I DIDN'T KNOW

IF IT WAS GONNA MAKE IT.

GUN IT. YOU DON'T GUN IT.

OKAY, HOW'S THAT LOOK?

I MEAN, IT'S DOWN HERE, IT'S IN ONE PIECE,

AND Y'ALL DIDN'T DIE.

I DEFINITELY THINK DAD IS GONNA BE EXCITED

AND HOPEFULLY PROUD THAT WE MOVED THE RV,

YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN ALL BE TOGETHER.

I KNEW SHE WOULD DO IT!

IT WAS A LITTLE HAIRY.

THERE WERE DEFINITELY SOME SPOTS

I THOUGHT WE MIGHT GO OVER.

I DID ALMOST SLIP THAT ONCE.

THAT WAS GOOD DRIVING, THOUGH.

THAT WAS REALLY GOOD. DAD WOULD BE PROUD.

♪♪

DO YOU THINK THEY'LL LIKE THE PLACEMENT OF THE TRAILER?

I HOPE SO BECAUSE IT'S STAYING HERE.

I THINK THEY'LL LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S, LIKE,

NOW IT'S WHERE WE ALL ARE.

IS THAT THEM?

NO, IT'S JUST CUPCAKE'S STOMACH GROWLING.

I DON'T THINK HE'S THAT HUNGRY.

WAIT! THERE GOES CUPPY!

I THINK IT'S MOM AND DAD!

HEY, CUPPY.

WELCOME HOME.

YEAH, YOU'VE BEEN HERE, BUDDY!

EASY, BABY.

-I'M DEFINITELY NOT BACK 100%, BUT I'M BACK.

TO BE BACK ON THE MOUNTAIN IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.

THE GOOD LORD JUST KEEPS BLESSING US

TO LET ME BACK UP HERE.

I'M TICKLED WITH THIS, GUYS.

- YOU LIKE IT? - I'D HAVE NEVER ASKED Y'ALL

TO DO THIS, MAN, BUT IT'S COOL.

THIS ELEVATION IS LOWER,

EVEN IF IT'S JUST A FEW HUNDRED FEET.

I FIGURED ANY ALTITUDE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE GOOD

BECAUSE, LIKE, I CAN TELL A DIFFERENCE.

IF WE WERE 1,000 FEET HIGHER, I COULDN'T BE HERE RIGHT NOW.

BUT WHEN I LEFT HERE, I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE.

IT WAS DOUBLE PNEUMONIA,

BUT SHE DID SAY THAT I'M FIXABLE,

YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA GET BETTER.

I AM AMAZED THAT THEY GOT THE RV WHERE IT IS.

HOW IN THE WORLD THEY GOT IT BACK THERE,

YOU KNOW, WITH THE SNOW AND THE ICE AND ALL...

I DON'T KNOW IF THE GOOD LORD DROVE IT

OR WHAT, BUT IT'S PERFECT.

IT IS. I'M JUST TICKLED TO DEATH.

NOW YOU CAN JUST SIT ON YOUR PORCH

AND WATCH US TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS,

PLAY AROUND, AND WATCH BRUTUS.

SIX, SEVEN MONTHS AGO,

I WOULD'VE THOUGHT YOU WERE CRAZY

IF YOU TOLD ME THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN

AND BE ALIVE AND HAVING A GRANDBABY

AND WE'D BE UP HERE BUILDING OUR LIFELONG DREAM

IT JUST SHOWS THAT, YOU KNOW,

WELL, THERE'S A GOD.

AND HE LIKES US, FOR SOME REASON.

BUT, YOU KNOW, REGRETFULLY,

THE NEXT FEW MONTHS ARE GONNA BE HARD,

I'M NOT THE ONLY THING HUNTING OUT HERE.

-...MOTHER NATURE CLOSES IN.

-THE GUYS HEARD A HOWL. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS, LIKE,

ONE OF US AT FIRST, BUT IT WASN'T.

-THIS IS THEIR HUNTING GROUNDS.
