NO!

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

NICE ONE.

...THE BROWNS' QUEST TO CONQUER THE LOWER 48

HAS BROUGHT THEM THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES

THE FAMILY HAS EVER FACED.

IT'S ALL OR NOTHING RIGHT HERE!

THERE WE GO!

BUT AS THEY FIGHT FOR THEIR DREAM...

COME ON, GUYS.

...LOST FOOTAGE REVEALS

THE SKILLS THEY LEARNED GROWING UP IN THE ALASKAN BUSH

ARE THEIR PATH TO SUCCESS IN WASHINGTON.

WATER GETS PUMPED IN, COOLING THE AIR AROUND IT.

LIVING IN THE WAY THAT WE DO, YOU HAVE TO BE CREATIVE.

GOOD LUCK! TIRES WAITING HERE FOR ME.

AND WHILE EACH ENVIRONMENT

COMES WITH ITS CHALLENGES...

THIS IS A LEECH TANK. DUDE, YOU GOT LEECHES.

...THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE THE WOLF PACK CAN CALL HOME.

THE MORE SPREAD OUT WE GET,

THE CLOSER TOGETHER IT, LIKE, DRAWS US.

IT'S ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL.

READY? GO!

HOW WAS IT?

UH, NAUSEATING, BUT FUN.

AFTER DECADES IN ALASKA,

THE NOMADIC BROWN FAMILY

MIGRATED TO THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHERN WASHINGTON...

I'M HOME!

...LIFTING THEM OUT OF THE LAND THEY'VE ALWAYS KNOWN

AND INTO A LIFE THEY NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.

MOVING IN GENERAL IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE.

WHEN WE MOVED TO WASHINGTON, WE WEREN'T JUST MOVING CAMPS.

WE WERE RESTARTING COMPLETELY.

THAT'S A BARN.

WE LITERALLY HAD TO BUILD EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH.

THAT IS A BARN DOOR.

WE WERE ALL SO EXCITED ABOUT THE FARM LIFE

AS OPPOSED TO LIVING AS HUNTERS AND FISHERMEN

THAT WE ALL DOVE INTO GETTING ANIMALS AND CHICKENS

AND DUCKS AND THINGS

BEFORE THERE WAS ANYWHERE TO PUT THEM!

BUT TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES

OF THEIR NEW ENVIRONMENT,

THE BROWNS MUST FIRST TAP INTO THEIR BUSH SENSE OF COMMUNITY.

OH, YEAH. WORK IT!

GIVE ME SOME JUICE, SUCKER!

THERE YOU GO.

BACK IN ALASKA,

YOU CAN GET HELP FROM, LIKE, A LOCAL ALASKAN.

THE COMMUNITY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO CHIP IN.

JUST HOP ON WITH ME.

I'LL TAKE YOU UP THERE AND THEN I'LL FISH UP THERE.

IF YOU'RE IN A BIND,

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE TO HELP YOU GET OUT OF THAT BIND.

YOU WERE THE FIRST GUY WE ALL THOUGHT OF.

YEAH, MAN. YOU CALL ME ANY TIME.

I'LL COME OUT AND FREAKIN' HELP YOU.

THANK YOU, KENNY.

-WITH A NEW AREA COMES A LOT OF NEW CHANGES,

AND RATHER THAN SHY AWAY FROM THOSE CHANGES,

WE EMBRACE THEM WITH OPEN ARMS.

ARE WE GETTING CLOSE?

YES. IT'S A BIG PILE OF, UH...

JUNK? JUNK, YEAH.

IT IS A JUNKYARD, SO THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME UP IN THE FUTURE,

SO IT'S ALWAYS GOOD

TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE COMMUNITY A LITTLE BIT

AND FIGURE OUT WHO HAS WHAT AND WHO MIGHT BE A GOOD ALLY

ON SUPPLYING THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT NEED LATER ON.

IS THIS, LIKE, JUST A SCRAPYARD, LIKE TAKE ANYTHING?

IS IT PAY? HOW DOES THIS RUN?

NO. WE'VE GOT ALL KINDS OF STUFF IN THE BACK.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE LOCALS

OR THE PEOPLE AROUND.

MOST OF THEM DO KEEP TO THEIRSELVES A LOT,

BUT SO DO PEOPLE IN ALASKA.

I'M LOOKING FOR JUST BASICALLY

ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO GET RID OF.

I GOT MORE THAN YOU CAN CARRY.

I LOVE TO HEAR THAT. I DO. VERY COOL.

IT'S IMPORTANT WHEN YOU'RE IN A NEW AREA

TO FIND WHEREVER IT IS THAT YOU CAN GET MATERIALS,

BE IT A THRIFT STORE OR A JUNKYARD, A JUNK STORE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

YOU THINK THAT'S USABLE?

OH, THE LANTERN? I HAVE NO IDEA. I LIVE IN THE DARK.

SO DID YOU FIND, LIKE, ALL THE LOWER 48 JUNKYARD PEOPLE?

WERE THEY JUST AS FRIENDLY AS AT THE ALASKA JUNKYARDS?

I THINK IT WAS STRANGE FOR PEOPLE AT FIRST.

JUST TRYING TO FIND SOME MATERIALS.

MAKING A GOPHER DETERRENT, AND THIS SHOULD WORK PERFECTLY.

AWESOME.

WE ARE ALL VERY STRONG PERSONALITIES.

WE'RE KIND OF DIFFERENT.

CAN I JUST GO AHEAD AND MAKE A PILE?

I'D HAVE TO SAY A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WE'VE MET HERE

ACTUALLY REMIND US OF THE PEOPLE IN ALASKA.

I'M MATT. MATT? COLIN GRAHAM.

COLIN, GOOD TO MEET YOU. BAM BAM.

AND BAM BAM.

THAT'S DOWN-TO-EARTH, SMALL-TOWN PEOPLE,

AND THAT'S THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO.

I NOTICED YOU HAD A COUPLE BATHTUBS OVER ON THE SIDE.

I'M DOING A WORM FARM.

OKAY. WHY?

YOU'D LITERALLY FARM, LIKE, EARTHWORMS.

ANY INSTANCE WHERE YOU CAN MAKE FRIENDS

WITH SOMEBODY THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT

OR YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP THEM OUT --

THAT'S JUST THE WAY LIFE SHOULD BE.

DUDE.

OH, 85 HORSE. IT'S GORGEOUS!

WE DON'T REALLY NEED THIS

WHILE WE'RE LIVING ON A MOUNTAIN, THOUGH.

DUDE, WHAT IF IT FLOODS?

OH, THIS IS, LIKE, LUXURY.

THE BROWNS ARE WELL EQUIPPED

TO SOURCE THE MATERIALS THEY NEED IN WASHINGTON.

NICE. WHERE ARE THE SEATS?

BUT SOME CHALLENGES TAKE MORE INGENUITY TO OVERCOME.

THE CUP IS STARTING TO STAIN.

LOOK AT IT DRIPPING! LOOK AT IT DRIPPING!

EVERYBODY'S USED TO DIFFERENT CLIMATES,

DIFFERENT WORLDS,

DIFFERENT ACCESSIBILITY OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

FOR US -- I'VE SPENT MORE OF MY LIFE

ON THE OCEAN THAN ON LAND.

HERE'S A COMES A BIG ONE. WATCH OUT.

THE WOLF PACK WAS RAISED

ON THE OPEN OCEAN OF ALASKA.

IT'S NOT SMART TO HEAD INTO A BUILDING STORM.

ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH, DAD. ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH.

AND ON THE WOODED SHORELINES THEY CALLED HOME,

A SOURCE OF FRESHWATER WAS NEVER FAR AWAY.

BUT IN THE LANDLOCKED MOUNTAINS OF WASHINGTON,

THE BROWNS FOUND THEMSELVES IN A WORLD WITHOUT WATER.

AS FAR AS WATER WITCHING AND DOWSING GOES,

I KIND OF BELIEVE IN IT. ANY WATER DOWN THERE?

...FORCING THEM TO PUSH THE SKILLS

THEY BROUGHT FROM ALASKA TO NEW DEPTHS.

IN THE WORLD WE COME FROM, THERE ARE CREEKS,

THERE ARE LAKES, THERE ARE PONDS.

WHEN WE MOVED TO HERE, IT'S SO DRY.

LET'S JUST GET IN POSITION HERE A LITTLE BIT.

I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT WE'D HAVE THAT PROBLEM.

OF WATER? NO. IT'S CRAZY.

IT'S THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE,

BECAUSE THERE'S NO WATER TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE

THAT ISN'T MILES BELOW THE SURFACE.

HOW ARE WE DOING?!

IT'S KIND OF A GOOD-NEWS/ BAD-NEWS SITUATION.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRACTURE WE HIT

THAT WAS GIVING US THAT GALLON A MINUTE

IS DRYING UP A LITTLE BIT.

OH, REALLY? YEP.

IT MAKES ME NERVOUS.

WHEN WE CAME OUT AND WITCHED IT, WE GUESSTIMATED,

AND SO WE'RE KIND OF WILLING TO GO THAT FAR FOR SURE.

THE ACCESSIBILITY TO WATER ISN'T WHAT WE'RE USED TO, YOU KNOW?

HERE, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A FIGHT.

IT'S ALL OR NOTHING RIGHT HERE!

IT'S DOWN THERE. I CAN FEEL IT.

I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT'S JUST PLAYING HARD TO GET.

TO GET WATER, YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU CAN.

YOU KNOW, IT'S QUITE A CHANGE.

LIKE, I THINK WE'RE STRONGER FOR IT.

OH, SHE'S...

THERE WE GO! YEAH!

NICE! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

LOOK AT THAT. NICE!

YES! THANK YOU. YES.

YES. THAT'S NICE. HA HA!

LOCATING THE WATER TODAY,

I WAS ABLE TO TAP INTO SOMETHING IN MY OWN SOUL.

THIS IS HISTORIC AS FAR AS THE BROWN FAMILY GOES!

I BROUGHT ALASKA HERE,

AND I'M LEARNING HOW TO KIND OF CHANNEL IT, I GUESS.

YES!

LOOK AT THAT.

ADAPTING WITH CONFIDENCE IS A TRAIT

THAT HAS ALWAYS HELPED THE BROWNS OVERCOME OBSTACLES

AND THRIVE IN NEW ENVIRONMENTS.

BONE.

BUT WHILE ALASKA PREPARED THE BROWNS

FOR MUCH OF WHAT WASHINGTON HAD TO OFFER,

THEY NEED TO LEARN SOME THINGS FIRSTHAND.

THAT'S BEEN CHEWED A LOT.

WHEN YOU GET TO NEW AREA AND YOU'RE LIVING ON A NEW PROPERTY,

JUST AS IMPORTANT AS FINDING WHERE THE WATER IS,

WHERE THE BEST SOURCE OF WOOD IS,

IS FINDING ALL OF THE RESOURCES.

THROUGHOUT THEIR YEARS IN ALASKA...

I CALL THIS THE BLENDER ACTION.

...THE BROWNS FOUND INGENIOUS WAYS

TO UTILIZE THE FLORA AROUND THEM.

EATING BUSH STYLE!

IT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA.

MOM AND DAD LEARNED HOW TO SURVIVE IN ALASKA.

LIKE, THEY DEFINITELY INSPIRE ME TO WANT TO BE LIKE THEM,

TO LEARN BY EXPERIENCE AND TO, LIKE, LEARN IT.

ALREADY I'M TRYING TO LEARN ALL THE PLANTS AND STUFF.

AND AS THEY ACCLIMATED THEMSELVES WITH THE LOWER 48,

BROTHER NOAH TAKES A MOMENT

TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATIVE FOLIAGE OF THEIR NEW HOME.

A LOT OF THE PLANTS HERE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE,

BUT YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH FIGURE

THAT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT LOOKS DANGEROUS, DON'T TOUCH IT.

IT'S PROBABLY A SIGN IT DOESN'T WANT BE TOUCHED.

THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE.

THESE LEAVES, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TOUCHING.

THEY'RE JUST CUTE AND CUDDLY.

THESE LEAVES, ON THE OTHER HAND,

THEY JUST DON'T LOOK AS CUTE AND CUDDLY AS THE OTHERS.

AND IF WE LOOK CLOSELY...

YEP. THORNS.

IT'S IMPORTANT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE,

TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING,

WHETHER IT'S IN ALASKA OR IF IT'S IN WASHINGTON.

READINESS AND PREPAREDNESS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING

AND HAVE PRACTICED WITH IT.

GET THE BIGGEST BOOK THEY HAVE AND YOU TAKE A SAMPLE.

AND THEN YOU MATCH IT AND FIND IT'S JUST A BEETLE.

IT'S THE DETECTIVE WORK. I LOVE THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT USED TO ANYTHING HERE.

WE COME HERE,

AND IT'S SO DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE'RE USED TO.

IT'S SO DIFFERENT. WE ARE USED TO EXPLORING.

WE'VE SEEN ALL SORTS OF NEW PLACES,

BUT NOTHING QUITE LIKE THIS.

WE'VE NEVER BEEN QUITE AS WE ARE NOW, IN A NEW STATE,

IN A NEW STATE OF MIND.

BUT WE WILL TARRY ON, WON'T WE?

WHILE THE BROWNS SPENT TIME SEARCHING

WASHINGTON'S UNIQUE ECOSYSTEM FOR PLANT LIFE...

LOOK AT ALL THE MUD FLOW DOWN HERE.

YEAH. THE ROAD'S PRETTY MUCH A RIVER.

WELL, LOOK AT THAT STREAM OF MUD.

YEAH. OH, WOW.

THAT SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH WATER HAS GONE IN THERE.

IN THIS NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN FOOTAGE,

THE SIBLINGS FIND THAT NORTH STAR RANCH

HIDES ARTIFICIAL STRUCTURES AND REMINDERS OF ALASKA.

OKAY, GUYS. THERE'S ALREADY A HOUSE HERE.

WE CAN JUST MOVE IN.

MIGHT NEED A ROOF.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A FIXER-UPPER TO ME.

LOOKS LIKE SOMEWHERE MATT WOULD LIVE.

FINDING OLD PIECES OF, LIKE, HOUSES AND STUFF IS COOL

BECAUSE IT'S A PART OF THE MOUNTAIN ITSELF.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN THERE A LONG, LONG TIME.

IT'S NICE INSIDE. A LITTLE OVERGROWN.

I WONDER HOW OLD IT IS.

I'D GUESS A WHILE.

IT WAS PROBABLY REALLY NICE, ACTUALLY, IN THIS SPOT.

CREEK RIGHT OVER THERE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT USED TO BE?

I'VE HEARD TALE THAT THERE ARE ACTUALLY SIX GOLD MINES

ON THIS PROPERTY.

IT WAS REALLY COOL TO BE ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY

THAT HAD REAL MINES.

WE'RE TALKING ACTUAL GOLD MINES, NICKEL MINES --

SEVERAL DIFFERENT ONES, BUT GOLD.

THERE WAS GOLD IN THESE HILLS.

ALASKA IS THE SECOND BIGGEST DISTRIBUTOR

OF GOLD DEPOSITS FOR MINES IN AMERICA.

LET'S GO PUT SOME GOLD IN THE PAN.

BUT WITH MINING AND PANNING HOTSPOTS

SCATTERED ACROSS THE VAST STATE,

IN THE PAST, FATHER BILLY AND OTHERS

HAD TO TRAVEL TO SECLUDED AREAS TO RETRIEVE A BOUNTY.

WELCOME TO THE HONEY HOLE.

THE DISCOVERY OF GOLD MINES ON THE FAMILY'S NEW MOUNTAIN

LEAD TO OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE BROWNS TO MINE FREELY

AND PROSPER IN THE FUTURE.

I DON'T THINK THIS WOULD BE A CABIN

THAT THEY WOULD STAY IN, BUT MORE OF AN OFFICE.

I DOUBT IT WAS THE SEVEN DWARFS IN THERE.

THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE GUY OUT HERE LOOKING FOR GOLD.

FINDING THE GOLD

ISN'T ABOUT THE MONEY THAT THE GOLD IS WORTH AT ALL.

IT'S ABOUT THE HUNT WHERE YOU'VE ACTUALLY YOURSELF GONE OUT,

DUG THROUGH THE GROUND, AND FOUND THIS TREASURE,

A TREASURE OF THE WORLD.

IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THIS IS THE SAME MINE.

THERE WERE SEVERAL MINERS, AND THERE WAS AN AVALANCHE.

AND IT CLOSED IN ON THEM,

AND THEY ALL HAD TO CONSERVE THEIR OXYGEN.

SO ONE MINER WENT COMPLETELY INSANE.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S THE PLOT OF A 1970s HORROR MOVIE.

OH, I THINK YOU HAVE ME!

HAD TO CONSERVE THE OXYGEN.

-COMING UP...

I'VE COME UP WITH AN IDEA, A THEORY OF SORTS.

-...THE BROWNS USE ALASKAN INGENUITY

TO UPGRADE THEIR MOUNTAIN HOME.

IT'S A, UH, A "COOL AID," YOU COULD SAY.

THAT'S AWESOME!

-AND LATER...

I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO BE BACK UP ON THE MOUNTAIN.

...FIND OUT WHY WASHINGTON IS THE ONLY PLACE

THE BROWNS CAN LIVE THEIR DREAM.

MOMENT OF TRUTH. LET'S HOPE IT WORKS.

DROP IT DOWN!

BIRD! YO!

SO WHEN WE MAKE THE SNOWSHOES, ASSUMING THEY ACTUALLY WORK,

WE SHOULD, LIKE, SCOUT OUT THE SURROUNDING AREAS,

AT LEAST CLOSE TO WHERE OUR CAMP IS.

WHY DO I FEEL LIKE YOURS IS GONNA BE BETTER?

IT'S NOT GONNA NECESSARILY BE BETTER. IT'LL BE DIFFERENT.

THERE WE GO.

THE BROWNS' NEW LIFE IN THE LOWER 48

IS A WORLD AWAY FROM THE HIGH SEAS AND SHORELINES.

BUT AS THEY WORK TO BUILD A KINGDOM

ON THEIR WASHINGTON MOUNTAIN...

IT'S HOT TODAY, YES? IT'S HOT EVERY DAY.

...THEY NEED TO USE THE INGENUITY THEY LEARNED IN ALASKA

TO OVERCOME NEW OBSTACLES.

I DON'T THINK I'M CLOSE TO HEATSTROKE.

I THINK I PASSED THAT LIKE FOUR MILES BACK.

AND IN THIS DELETED SCENE,

THE BROWNS' YOUNGEST BROTHER PROVES THAT HIS BUSH ENGINEERING

IS THE KEY TO COMBATING THE SCORCHING WASHINGTON SUMMER.

I'VE COME UP WITH AN IDEA,

A THEORY OF SORTS, OF A WAY TO COOL MY LAB.

I'M GOING TO USE THESE PIPES...

...AND A WATER PUMP.

MOST PEOPLE, WHEN IT'S TOO WARM, WILL JUST TURN ON A FAN.

OF COURSE, THAT'S MOST PEOPLE,

AND THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T GO FOR THAT.

THE WATER GETS PUMPED IN THROUGH THIS SIDE,

AND THEN IT CIRCULATES THROUGH THE WALLS,

COOLING THE AIR AROUND IT.

IT'S A, UH, A "COOL AID," YOU COULD SAY.

OKAY. THERE WE GO.

NOW ALL THE PIPES ARE INSTALLED,

AND NOW I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO BE BUILDING ON THE PUMP ITSELF.

WHERE THE LAB IS, THEY GET SUNLIGHT ALL DAY.

IT JUST, LIKE, COOKS AND COOKS.

KNOCK, KNOCK. HEY NEIGHBOR.

SO THE COOL-AID PROJECT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PROJECTS I DID

SO THAT THE REST OF THEM WOULD GO A LITTLE EASIER.

THAT'S AWESOME!

CAN WE LOWER ME DOWN? NO.

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T JUST WALK DOWN THE STREET TO THE STORE

AND PICK UP A PART YOU NEED.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT OUT OF WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.

LIVING IN THE WAY THAT WE DO, YOU HAVE TO BE CREATIVE,

YOU HAVE TO BE INGENUITIVE.

AND NOT ONLY IS IT VERY USEFUL AND IT'S NICE TO KNOW

THAT, LIKE, YOU'RE NOT WASTING ANYTHING,

BUT IT'S ALSO VERY FUN.

IT SHOULD BE PUMPING.

I'M TURNING IT ON.

I JUST SAW A WATER DRIP.

DID YOU?

OH, OVER HERE?

THAT'S GONNA SPLASH YOU.

YOU DON'T SPLASH THE MAN WITH THE HOSE.

IS IT COLD? OH, YEAH.

IT'S NICE AND COLD. IT IS!

THAT IS AWESOME. OH, YEAH. IT'S GOOD.

THE COOL-AID PROJECT WORKED

WAY BETTER THAN I INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD.

THE ONLY WAY THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORKED EVEN BETTER

WOULD BE IF I HAD RIGGED UP SOME SORT OF INSULATION

ON THE OUTSIDE TO KEEP THE COLD IN.

ARE YOU A COOL-AID FAN, THEN?

I WAS ALWAYS MORE OF A TANG GUY MYSELF.

I HATE TANG.

I DON'T LIKE THINGS TANGY,

SO WHY WOULD I LIKE SOMETHING CALLED TANG?

JUST STUPID.

BACK TO THE QUESTION.

I HAVE JUST MADE A BUG-CATCHING NET OUT OF STICKY TAPE.

ONE GRASSHOPPER.

OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS, THE BROWNS HAVE SURVIVED

BY BEING CREATIVE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE.

WHAT I DID IS I FASHIONED MYSELF A QUICK SPEAR.

BUT EVERY BUSH SCAVENGER KNOWS

YOU CAN'T CREATE A MASTERPIECE WITHOUT MATERIALS.

WE RAN INTO A TON OF ROCK,

AND PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY WAY TO GET AROUND IT

IS TO BLOW IT UP.

-IT'S ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF OUR LIFE

TO USE SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA END UP IN A LANDFILL

INSTEAD OF LETTING IT END UP IN THE LANDFILL.

IN THIS LOST SCENE,

THE BROWN SIBLINGS GET WORD OF AN ABANDONED CABIN

AND JUMP ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND FURNITURE

FOR EACH OF THEIR HOMES. BAM'S NOT GOING FIRST.

HEY! NO CHEATING! CHEATER!

YOU CHEATED!

EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T 100% SURE IF THE OLD ABANDONED CABIN

WOULD HAVE ANYTHING USEFUL IN IT,

IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO CHECK IT OUT,

'CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY LOOK

WITH YOUR OWN TWO PEEPERS.

OOH. I'LL TAKE THE CHAIR.

I'D LIKE THE CHAIRS.

GENERATOR?

OH, LOOK. A DUSTPAN.

DIBS! I CAN'T EVEN HAVE THE DUSTPAN?

FINE. YOU CAN --

OOH!

ACTUALLY, THAT IS A DARN NICE STOVE.

FAIRLY CLEAN.

WE REALLY HIT THE JACKPOT WHEN WE FOUND THAT STOVE.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS AN AWESOME FIND.

IT MADE THE WHOLE THING WORTHWHILE.

HOP ON ONE SIDE AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN PICK THIS THING UP.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

HUP, HUP, HUP, HUP.

WALK LIKE A BUNCH OF REALLY STRONG PENGUINS.

WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN!

EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA USE IT FOR

AT THE TIME, IT'S STILL A GOOD IDEA TO GET THOSE THINGS.

BECAUSE, LIKE THIS GUY WILL TELL YOU,

IT'S ABOUT RE-IMAGINING WHAT IT IS

AND NOT LETTING IT GO TO WASTE.

ONE, TWO, THREE!

HOP IT OVER, BABY!

DANG, GUYS! WE GOT IT IN THERE!

BRING IT. BRING IT. BRING IT. BRING IT.

BRING IT. BRING IT. BRING IT. BRING IT.

EVEN WHEN YOU'RE SALVAGING SOMETHING

FROM, LIKE, THAT OLD CABIN WE GOT THAT STUFF FROM,

IF I FIND SOMETHING THAT, LIKE, I COULDN'T NECESSARILY USE --

AND I FEEL LIKE WE ALL DO THIS --

IT'S LIKE, SOMEONE MIGHT COULD USE THAT.

WE ALWAYS HAVE OUR EYES OUT. EXACTLY.

NOAH AND ALISHA,

THEY MOVED UP A LITTLE AFTER WE DID,

AND WINTER WAS DEFINITELY AROUND THE CORNER,

WHICH IS WHY, WHEN WE FOUND THE STOVE,

WE THOUGHT THAT COULD BE GOOD FOR THEM.

IS IT THE STOVE Y'ALL WANTED TO SHOW US?

YES. THE STOVE WAS DEFINITELY THE BEST THING WE GOT OUT OF IT.

SO WE WERE FIGURING THAT, LIKE, Y'ALL COULD USE IT.

THAT'S AWESOME. IT WAS SUPER CUTE,

BECAUSE WE WERE LIKE, "ONE, TWO, LET'S DO THIS!"

AND THEN WE'D, LIKE, WADDLE.

EVEN IF WE COULD GO TO A STORE AND BUY SOMETHING NEW,

WE WOULDN'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW?

I WOULDN'T WANT TO, 'CAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO REUSE.

JUST KNOWING IT HAS HISTORY AND YOU'RE PUTTING IT TO GOOD USE --

THAT'S WHAT WE LOVE TO DO.

THAT'S NOT TOO BAD.

WHY WAS THAT SO MUCH EASIER THAN BEFORE?

FOR THE RECORD,

THE DOG IS TELLING YOU THERE IS SOMETHING UNDER THERE.

OH, LOOK. IT'S A MOUSE.

REPURPOSING SALVAGED MATERIAL

IS A MUST-HAVE SKILL IN THE BUSH.

BUT THE BROWNS ALSO REUSE WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE.

OKAY. NOW WE GET THE TARP.

OKAY. THERE'S SPIDERS IN IT. YOU CAN DO IT.

AND IN THIS EXTENDED SCENE, NOAH AND WIFE RHAIN ALISHA

RESTORE THE FAMILY'S OLD MASH TENT.

LOOK. A GIANT TARANTULA.

YOU HAVE TO SQUISH IT!

I'M GONNA WALK AWAY NOW.

I DON'T MIND SNAKES.

I DON'T MIND BIG PREDATORS, LIKE COUGARS AND BEARS.

THOSE ARE OKAY. I CAN SEE THEM COMING.

SPIDERS JUST SEND ME UP THE WALL.

I HATE SPIDERS. I REALLY HATE SPIDERS.

HEY, MAN. WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD GET A HAND.

YO, LET ME CATCH MY BREATH.

SOME HILL, RIGHT? NICE HILL, RIGHT?

I HAD NO IDEA HOW HIGH Y'ALL WERE BUILDING.

OH, WOW. IS THIS THE SAME ONE FROM BROWNTOWN?

IT IS. IT IS THE MASH TENT.

OH, MY GOODNESS. MY OLD LAB.

GUYS.

WHEN I FIRST HEARD AND SAW

THAT NOAH AND HIS WIFE WERE USING THE MASH TENT,

I FREAKED OUT.

LIKE, IT'S THE SAME MASH TENT FROM ALASKA.

THIS HAS TO BE RAISED UP LIKE THAT.

ITS STORY ISN'T OVER.

YOU KNOW, THE MASH TENT LIVES ON,

IT'S LIKE THAT PIECE OF BROWNTOWN

BROUGHT TO THE MOUNTAIN.

IT WAS JUST AMAZING.

IT HAD A LITTLE DIRT IN THE EDGE,

AND IT HAD SOME PINE NEEDLES, AND I WAS LIKE,

"THIS IS PINE NEEDLES FROM HOME. THESE ARE SPRUCE NEEDLES."

DID YOU KEEP THEM?

I DID FOR A LITTLE WHILE IN MY POCKETS.

BUT THEN, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THAT GOES INTO MY POCKETS,

IT GOT DESTROYED.

LIFT!

IT'S DOWN.

OH, MY GOODNESS. IT'S BEEN A WHILE, HASN'T IT?

IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE.

THE MASH TENT'S ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD PLACE.

WE LIVED IN IT, AND THEN IT BECAME MY LAB FOR A WHILE.

I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I DID NOT THINK THAT YEARS LATER

THAT I'D BE SETTING UP THE MASH TENT AGAIN,

BUT INSTEAD OF WITH MY FAMILY, IT'S WITH MY WIFE.

BYE, GABE!

OH, MY GOD.

ALL RIGHT. Y'ALL GOT -- OH.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, GUYS.

-NIGHT, MAN. -GOOD NIGHT!

-COMING UP...

THE BROWNS STRUGGLE TO ADAPT TO THEIR NEW LIFE AS RANCHERS.

-THEY'RE MAKING A MOCKERY OF YOU.

YOU THINK I'M GONNA EAT YOU.

WHOA!

NICE JUMP, THOUGH. VERY EXTREME.

GROWING UP IN THE ISOLATED BUSH OF ALASKA,

BEING COMFORTABLE WITH ANIMALS AND NATURE

IS A REQUIREMENT THAT NO ONE CAN AVOID.

IT'S NOT A CLEAR, EXACT PRINT,

BUT THESE ARE DEFINITE BEAR TRACKS RIGHT HERE.

I FULLY BELIEVE IF YOU SHOW AN ANIMAL RESPECT

THAT THEY'LL RESPECT YOU.

AND AS THE BROWNS SETTLE INTO THE LOWER 48,

IN ORDER TO SOLIDIFY THEIR BUSH ROOTS,

THEY MUST BECOME ONE WITH THEIR NEW SURROUNDINGS.

COME HERE, GUY. I'M A FRIENDLY. I WON'T KILL YOU.

NOT WHILE YOU'RE OUTSIDE.

BACK AND ALASKA, MOM AND DAD ALWAYS TAUGHT US

TO HAVE RESPECT FOR EVERYTHING AROUND US --

ALL LIVING ANIMALS, EVERYTHING.

THE BEAR IS CIRCLING THE CORRAL.

BETTER KEEP SKIRTING THE EDGE.

OTHERWISE SHE'S GONNA GET A BIG IDEA ABOUT THAT COW.

GABEY, DON'T RUN IN FRONT OF A BEAR.

WE WILL NEVER KILL ANYTHING IF IT WASN'T TO EAT.

WE WILL ONLY KILL, LIKE, TO SURVIVE.

THERE'S A TREE IN BETWEEN US. COME HERE.

HERE IN THE LOWER 48, IT'S DIFFERENT

BECAUSE IT'S MORE WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE THE FARM.

THAT STUFF, THOSE ANIMALS ARE MORE MEANT TO LIVE IN THIS AREA.

BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE JUST QUITE HOW MUCH WORK IT WOULD TAKE.

YOU GOT THAT ONE? BAM, THIS ONE.

COME ON. HERE YOU GO, BABY.

GET OVER HERE!

RAINY, SEAL THE DOOR! AAH!

YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY.

YOU HAVE TO STAY UP LATE. BUT I ENJOY IT.

ARE THEY TOO HOT? HOW DO WE HELP THEM OUT?

JUST MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE ALL COMFORTABLE 24/7,

IT'S LIKE TAKING CARE OF LIKE 60 BABIES.

THE UNPREDICTABLE RESPONSIBILITIES

OF CARING FOR RANCH ANIMALS IS AN UNDERTAKING

THE BROWNS ARE MANAGING TO WORK INTO THEIR LIFESTYLE.

WATCH OUT.

MA'AM HAS HER HEAD STUCK.

BUT AS NORTH STAR RANCH UNDERGOES RELENTLESS EXPANSION,

THERE IS ALWAYS MORE WORK TO BE DONE.

YOU HAD AN IDEA FOR, LIKE, A GOAT CORRAL, RIGHT?

'CAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THEM OUT OF THERE.

WHEN WE BUILT THE GOATS THEIR ENCLOSURE,

IT WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE ALL WANTED THEM --

ESPECIALLY ME -- TO BE COMFORTABLE

AND HAVE ENOUGH ROOM.

AND, LIKE, GOATS, AS WELL, LIKE TO PLAY.

THEY LOVE TO PLAY KING OF THE HILL.

SO IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE MADE IT COMFORTABLE FOR THEM.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE GOING FASTER ON THIS ONE

THAN Y'ALL DID BRUTUS' CORRAL.

I THINK IT SPEAKS TO ME BEING HERE.

THERE ARE THREE OF US NOW, AND WE'RE NOT CONCRETING THEM.

AND MY BACK'S NOT PULLED. HER HAND'S NOT PULLED.

MY FINGER ISN'T BROKEN, AND WE'RE NOT ON THAT HILL.

THEY'RE NOT EIGHT FOOT IN THE AIR.

BUT I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH IT.

TOUCHY SUBJECT. I WAS JUST JOKING.

-WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING AN ENCLOSURE FOR AN ANIMAL,

YOU HAVE TO REALLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHAT THAT ANIMAL LIKES.

YOU GET IN THE MIND-SET OF A GOAT.

'CAUSE YOU DON'T JUST WANT THEM TO BE LIVING THERE.

YOU WANTED THEM TO THRIVE.

OH, MY GOODNESS. LOOK AT HER STRUTTING HER STUFF.

OKAY. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU THINK OF YOUR NEW HOME.

SHE'S LIKE, "I LIKE THIS. THIS IS GOOD."

OH, IT'S THIS WAY, ACTUALLY.

LET HER KNOW ALL THE FOLIAGE IS HERS TOO.

OH, YEAH. YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING.

YOU KNOW, GUYS, I THINK MA'AM LIKES IT.

I THINK SHE DOES.

AFTER GETTING APPROVAL FROM MAIN GOAT MA'AM,

BIRD, GABE, AND RAIN WERE CHALLENGED

WITH MOVING THE FEISTY TRIBE.

ALL RIGHT.

HANG ON, BABY. WHOA.

THEY'RE RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND YOU.

THEY'RE MAKING A MOCKERY OF YOU.

AN ANIMAL ISN'T GOING TO TRY AND TRICK YOU.

WELL, SOME OF THOSE GOATS, THEY'RE LIKE, "LOOK AT ME.

I'M CUTE. COME PET ME."

WHACK! THEY'VE NEVER DONE THAT.

OKAY.

PHEW. OKAY.

NOW WE HAVE TO GET MA'AM. LOOK HOW HAPPY THEY LOOK.

GET MA'AM, AND THEN WE'LL ENJOY THE VIEW.

ANIMALS ARE PURE.

IT'LL TELL YOU, "LEAVE ME ALONE,"

YOU KNOW, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

AND IF AN ANIMAL WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE,

LIKE, THAT'S YOUR WAY OF RESPECTING THEM.

YOU GIVE THEM THAT SPACE, YOU KNOW,

'CAUSE IT'S ALL MAKING SURE THEY'RE COMFORTABLE.

THAT'S JUST HOW THEY'RE -- THAT'S THEIR PECKING ORDER.

SHE'S THE BIG DOG.

LOOK AT LITTLE NEO OVER --

OH! OH, MY GOD!

NEVER MIND. LITTLE DOG.

HI!

WE HEARD YOU HAD SOME BUGS!

LADYBUGS!

THERE'S LIKE 3,000 LADYBUGS IN HERE.

THREE THOUSAND?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

DANG. WHAT DO YOU PLAN ON DOING WITH THEM?

ONE LADYBUG CAN EAT LIKE 1,000 APHIDS IN A DAY

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THAT'S PROBABLY AN EXAGGERATION, BUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THEY'LL JUST, LIKE, EAT, EAT, EAT, EAT.

CAN WE LET THEM GO?

ON ME. LET'S DO IT! YEAH!

ON ME. CAN I DO IT?

OKAY, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL

NOT TO CUT THE LADYBUGS. I WON'T CUT THE LADYBUGS.

HERE. HOLD ON. BAM.

SO BAM -- WHO KNEW HE LIKED LADYBUGS?

YOU CAN HOLD A COUPLE.

HE'S LIKE, "Y'ALL BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE LADYBUGS."

BACK UP! YOU'LL STEP ON THEM!

NORMALLY, THOUGH, BAM IS NOT A BIG BUG GUY.

HE'S NOT A BIG ANIMAL GUY IN GENERAL.

THROW A GOAT AT HIM, HE'LL RUN THE OTHER WAY.

I DON'T DO GOATS.

WHO DO YOU THINK IS MORE STUBBORN, GOAT -- YOU OR MYSELF?

HEY, MELLOW OUT. OH, COME ON.

BUT HE WAS ACTUALLY REALLY CARING WITH THOSE LADYBUGS

WHEN WE WERE LETTING THEM OUT.

YOU NEED TO BE A LITTLE MORE DELICATE WITH THEM, MAN.

GOT TO SEE THAT INSIDE, GOOEY CENTER OF BAM.

HE WAS ALL, LIKE -- ALMOST LIKE A HUMAN BEING.

GUYS, LET'S BEND DOWN SO WHEN THEY FALL,

THEY DON'T FALL QUITE SO FAR.

THEY'RE ALL OVER!

DID YOU NAME ALL 3,000 OF THEM?

THIS ONE'S CAROL.

LADYBUGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOME OF MY FAVORITE BUGS.

LET'S GET BACK TO IT. ENOUGH PLAYTIME!

DON'T LOLLYGAG ALL DAY, GABE.

WATCH WHERE YOU'RE STEPPING, BEAR.

♪ YOU GOT TO TREAT 'EM LIKE A LADY -- BUG ♪

♪ THAT'S WHAT YOU TREAT 'EM LIKE ♪

♪ THAT'S WHAT YOU TREAT 'EM LIKE ♪

I DON'T KNOW.

-COMING UP...

IT'S A HEAD. OF WHAT? TURKEY.

...THE BROWNS SHOW WHY THEY'LL ALWAYS KEEP THEIR ALASKAN ROOTS.

THIS IS A LEECH TANK. OH, MY GOODNESS.

UGH.

OKAY. A KITE IS KIND OF SHAPED LIKE A DIAMOND.

AND THIS IS GOOD FOR THE STRING?

IT'S A LITTLE BIT FLIMSY.

YOU'RE MISSING A GOOD GUST, GIRL.

LET'S DO THIS.

WHEN YOU PULL ON IT,

IT KIND OF KEEPS THAT SIDE INTO THE WIND.

IT'S DOING SOMETHING!

I BELIEVED IN YOU THE WHOLE TIME!

ALL RIGHT. YOU READY? I'M GONNA RUN WITH IT.

IS IT DOING IT?

ISOLATED FROM THE LUXURIES OF MODERN SOCIETY,

THE BROWN FAMILY OF NINE SPENT DECADES IN THE ALASKAN BUSH,

WHERE RESOURCES WERE SCARCE.

IT'S DOING IT! YEAH!

WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO GO INTO TOWN FOR SUPPLIES...

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUSH THAT BACK IN THERE.

...THE WOLF PACK LEARNED TO MAKE DO WITH WHAT THEY HAD

USING MATERIALS FOR MORE THAN THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE

TO BEST SUIT THEIR RUGGED LIFESTYLE.

BAM, LOOK AT THIS! IT'S ACTUALLY WORKING.

YEAH, MAN!

-LIVING OUT IN THE WILDERNESS,

A LOT OF THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO YOURSELF.

IT'S JUST NOT RUN DOWN THE STORE AND GRAB THIS OR THAT.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING

TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE SOMETHING ELSE THAT MAY BE AN OBSTACLE.

BUT THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY.

I HAD THE IDEA -- MAYO OIL BURNS. VOILà.

SETTING UP THE NEW HOMESTEAD FROM THE BOTTOM UP,

THERE WILL BE CHALLENGES.

NOW IN WASHINGTON, THE FAMILY HAS CONTINUED

TO MAKE THEIR LIFESTYLE WORK HOWEVER THEY CAN...

NICE.

...APPLYING THE SKILLS THEY LEARNED IN ALASKA

TO THEIR SECLUDED MOUNTAIN HOMESTEAD.

WHEN YOU'RE IN THE LOWER 48, IF YOU DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT,

EVERYBODY'S LIKE, "WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

WHY ARE THEY DOING IT LIKE THAT?"

VERY JUDGMENTAL. THEY'RE JUDGY.

YEAH. AND THAT'S WHY IN THE BUSH, YOU CAN BE YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THINGS PERFECT.

AS LONG AS IT WORKS.

SO MY HAIR IS FILTHY.

I'M GONNA ADD MY OWN SCENT TO THE SHAMPOO.

WE COULD FIND SOME DEER SCAT.

THAT'S NOT THE SCENT I'M GOING FOR.

TOO HOT? NOPE.

I CAN SMELL THE SAGE.

GROWING UP IN THE WILDERNESS, THE BROWNS DEVELOPED

THEIR OWN WAYS TO STAY CLEAN IN THE BUSH.

OH, YEAH. I'M FEELING THIS.

MY METHOD IS CALLED THE TEABAG.

MILES FROM THE NEAREST MAINLAND TOWN,

THE WOLF PACK HAD TO TEACH EACH OTHER SPECIFIC SKILLS.

HOLD STILL, MAN.

WE HAVE A TRADITION WHERE DAD CUTS OUR HAIR.

IT'S BEEN THAT WAY EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER.

YOU GROW UP IN THE BUSH WITHOUT BARBERS AND THAT KIND OF THING.

SIT DOWN AND WE'LL MEASURE.

AND IN THIS NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN FOOTAGE,

BIRD TAKES HER FIRST SWING AT CUTTING HER SISTER'S HAIR

USING AN OLD ELECTRIC RAZOR POWERED BY GENERATOR.

OW!

WELCOME TO MY BARBERSHOP, RAIN.

OOPS. BIRD?

I DIDN'T MEAN TO "OOPS."

EVEN IF YOU DO AN OOPSIE, DON'T SAY "OOPSIE."

YOU CAN'T BLOW ON IT AND MAKE THE HAIR GROW BACK.

WHAT DID YOU DO? NOTHING.

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M SO NERVOUS ABOUT YOU DOING THIS.

I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE JUST GONNA ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE,

JUST BE LIKE, "WHOOPS! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY HAIR ANYMORE."

I'LL BE LIKE TURNING, AND SHE'S LIKE,

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT MOTION?" I'M LIKE, "HEY. I'M CUTTING IT."

OOPS.

WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING "OOPS"?

WHAT IS "OOPS"?

I SNAGGED A LITTLE HAIR THAT DIDN'T BELONG.

BUT I DIDN'T CUT IT. I REALIZED I SNAGGED IT.

I'M ALMOST DONE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW CONFIDENT I AM

IN THE FACT OF BIRD CUTTING MY HAIR,

BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS AFRAID SHE'S GONNA GO TOO FAR UP.

OKAY. BIRDIE, NEVER BECOME A SURGEON.

"OOPS! I JUST SLICED HER ARTERY, AND SHE'S GONNA DIE."

I WANT TO KEEP IT --

BIRD! I FELT THAT.

I WAS HOPING YOU DIDN'T. NO. I DEFINITELY FELT THAT.

I THINK YOU'RE GOOD.

YOU GOOD?

THERE WERE LITTLE PARTS OF IT THAT WERE A LITTLE THICKER

THAN OTHERS, BUT, YOU KNOW....

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, AND I DIDN'T PAY FOR IT.

WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?

IS THERE, LIKE, A BALD SPOT RIGHT THERE?

LIKE A BALDER SPOT?

ANY SPECIFIC PART? NO. I DON'T THINK SO.

YOU DON'T NEED THE SHAVER IF I'M TALKING ABOUT A PART

THAT I THINK YOU TOOK WAY TOO MUCH HAIR OFF, BIRD.

WHILE THE BROWNS LEARNED TO ACCOMPLISH MANY TASKS

WITHOUT THE AID OF OUTSIDERS,

THE SECLUSION OF THE ALASKAN BUSH HAD DISADVANTAGES.

MAN, IT'S SO WEIRD.

AND THE WOLF PACK MADE FRIENDS HOWEVER THEY COULD.

HEY, SQUIRREL BUDDY.

GOOD GIRL!

I AM A PIRATE ON THE HIGH SEAS.

HERE, LIKE IN WASHINGTON,

WE CAN HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT ANIMALS.

LIKE, WE CAN HAVE HORSES.

AND THAT'S BEEN A DREAM FOR, LIKE, EVER.

WE COULD JUST GET REALLY ANY ANIMAL YOU CAN THINK OF.

AND WE WILL.

AND FOR ONE MEMBER OF THE WOLF PACK,

THE UNUSUAL WILDLIFE IN WASHINGTON

HAS BEEN WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS.

THE BEETLES EAT MAINLY MEAT THAT'S OLDER, DRYER, NOT MOIST.

TIME TO FEED THE BEETLES.

I LIKE BEETLES BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM ARE MISUNDERSTOOD.

SOME OF THEM ARE CREEPY. OTHERS ARE CUTE AND CUDDLY.

THESE BEETLES, THEY'RE USEFUL, THEY DON'T ASK FOR MUCH.

JUST SOMETHING TO EAT.

THERE ARE OVER 5,000 BEETLES IN THIS TANK.

I WONDER HOW LONG THIS WILL TAKE.

WHILE MANY CREATURES CAUGHT HIS EYE,

IN THIS LOST SCENE,

THE YOUNGEST SON SHOWS BROTHER GABE

SOME OF HIS FAVORITE SPECIMENS.

IS THIS, LIKE, YOUR CREEPY-STUFF SHELF?

YES, IT IS.

OBVIOUSLY DEAD BEES.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW.

WHAT IS IT? LOOK CLOSELY.

IT'S A HEAD.

IT'S A HEAD. OF WHAT?

TURKEY.

THIS IS COOL.

IT'S WATER -- IN AN AQUARIUM, TO BE PRECISE.

THIS IS A LEECH TANK.

EW!

YEAH. OH, MY GOODNESS!

YEAH. THERE ARE SEVERAL OF THEM.

DUDE, YOU GOT LEECHES. OVER 40.

WHY? I DON'T KNOW.

BECAUSE OF YOUR REACTION RIGHT NOW?

IN ALASKA, I WOULD USE OPERA AS A DETERRENT FOR SIBLINGS.

BUT NOW THAT I HAVE LEECHES,

I CAN USE LEECHES AS A DETERRENT.

IT WILL DEFINITELY ADD TO THE CREEPY FACTOR AT MY LAB.

OH MY GOODNESS. IS THAT THEIR LITTLE SUCKER?

MM-HMM.

THE LARGER ONES ARE HIBERNATING.

BESIDES THEM BEING MASSIVELY CREEPY,

THE ORIGINAL ANESTHETICS

WERE ACTUALLY DERIVED FROM LEECHES' SALIVA.

WHEN YOU'RE IN THE WATER AND YOU GET BITTEN BY A LEECH,

YOU DON'T KNOW IT UNTIL YOU SEE IT.

IT'S BECAUSE THEIR SPIT ACTUALLY HAS AN ANESTHETIC FEATURE TO IT

WHERE IT NUMBS THE ENTIRE AREA.

SO MOST OF THE ANESTHETICS, ORIGINALLY,

WERE DERIVED FROM LEECH SALIVA.

WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM, THOUGH?

BAM'S POND.

YOU FOUND THESE IN BAM'S POND? I WAS SWIMMING IN THERE.

YEAH. UGH.

-COMING UP...

-IT'S GONNA BE AN UNDERTAKING,

BUT ONCE IT'S HERE, IT'S GONNA BE HERE FOREVER.

-...WASHINGTON IS THE ONLY PLACE

WHERE THE BROWNS' DREAM CAN SURVIVE.

-I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THE WORLD WE'RE IN.

AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, AND IT FEELS DANG NATURAL.

Ami:

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE MAMA COW CALLS THE DADDY COW

WHEN HE GOES TO SLEEP?

BULL DOZER.

IN ALASKA, THE BROWNS WERE ALWAYS ABLE TO DEVELOP

CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE OTHER BUSH INHABITANTS.

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

SHE WENT RIGHT WHERE I WANTED HER TO GO.

NOW NOT SO MUCH.

KNUCKLE BUST.

AW! YOU'RE KNUCKLE-BUSTING THE BIRD.

THAT'S COWS.

BUT THEIR NEW NEIGHBORS IN WASHINGTON

ARE A LITTLE MORE SKEPTICAL.

COME AND GET IT!

MMM!

IT'S YUM --

ARE YOU A BULL?

GABEY, LEAVE THE COWS ALONE.

THEY DON'T LIKE ME.

MAYBE IT'S YOUR BREATH!

I THINK I'M SITTING IN A COW PATTY.

I NOTICED IT WAS REALLY SOFT AND WARM.

GABEY, COME ON, MAN.

I THINK THAT ONE'S CHALLENGING MY DOMINANCE HERE.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THE WORLD WE'RE IN, BABY.

I KNOW.

I NEVER THOUGHT WE'D HAVE HORSES.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT BASICALLY DOESN'T EXIST IN ALASKA,

AND NOT IN THE BUSH.

WE'LL HAVE, LIKE, A WHOLE HERD OF THEM SOON.

AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

I'M GOING TO EJECT MYSELF ONTO THE ROOF.

I ACTUALLY HAVEN'T SEEN BEAR THIS EXCITED

OVER ANYTHING IN A LONG TIME. NO.

IT'S BEEN A LOT OF YEARS SINCE I WAS PULLING A HORSE TRAILER,

AND IT FEELS DANG NATURAL.

THE BROWNS' DREAM OF A LIFE IN WASHINGTON,

COULD SET THE FAMILY UP FOR A LEGACY TO LAST GENERATIONS.

WELCOME HOME.

AND THEIR HARD-FOUGHT LIFE IN ALASKA

PREPARED THEM FOR EVERY CHALLENGE.

OKAY. GOING GOOD.

I'M DEFINITELY PROUD OF WHAT WE DID BACK IN BROWNTOWN.

ARE YOU READY? I'M READY.

OH, I LOVE IT.

BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF US,

AND WE WERE JUST ALL RIGHT THERE, LIKE, ALL PRETTY CLOSE.

WE DIDN'T HAVE TONS OF LAND, YOU KNOW?

-THAT'S MY SPOT.

-WE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY

TO STAY IN ONE SPOT LONG ENOUGH

TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT TOOK MORE THAN A DAY OR TWO TO BUILD.

I'M SURE ONE OR TWO OF US COULD'VE HAD OUR OWN PLACE,

BUT ALL OF US?

THERE WAS JUST NO WAY.

BUT HERE ON THE MOUNTAIN, WE HAVE A LOT OF LAND.

IT JUST GIVES US SO MANY POSSIBILITIES, YOU KNOW?

WE CAN ALL HAVE OUR OWN HOUSE.

THAT'S WHAT I CALL TEAMWORK.

IN ALASKA, THE NINE MEMBERS OF THE WOLF PACK

HELD A SMALL PIECE OF A GIGANTIC WORLD.

A 400-ACRE RANCH IN WASHINGTON

WILL GIVE THEM ALL THE SPACE THEY NEED

TO GROW THE WOLF PACK -- IF THEY CAN RELY ON EACH OTHER.

LET'S DO IT.

AND IN THIS LOST FOOTAGE,

BIRD, RAIN, AND GABE BREAK GROUND ON NOAH'S HOMESITE

SO HE AND HIS FAMILY CAN REJOIN THE WOLF PACK ON THE MOUNTAIN.

LIVING IN THE BUSH,

YOU HAVE TO DEPEND ON EACH OTHER.

SOMETHING WE ARE ALWAYS TAUGHT

IS YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LEAN ON SOMEONE ELSE.

DROP IT DOWN!

I THINK SHE'S PRETTY MUCH GOT THE HANG OF IT.

GONNA BE A CASTLE UP HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

HOPEFULLY SOON.

-WITH NOAH'S WIFE IN THE HOSPITAL

RAIN, BIRD, AND I, WE'RE ALL KIND OF TAKING FOREMAN ON IT,

KIND OF FIGURING OUT WHAT WE CAN DO

TO GET HIM A HOUSE BY THE TIME HE GETS BACK.

SEE IF YOU CAN'T CHEW AWAY SOME OF THAT ROCK TOO.

SHE'S CHIPPING IT AWAY.

SHE'S GETTING SOME OF IT.

WOW. THAT'S SOLID RIGHT THERE.

YO!

BIRD!

YEAH. BACK IT OUT.

YOU DID PRETTY GOOD.

YOU GOT MORE DONE THAN I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO.

ESPECIALLY ON THAT SIDE.

'CAUSE THAT ROCK WAS LIKE -- OH, THIS IS SO MUCH ROCK.

YOU WERE BARELY CHIPPING AWAY AT IT.

I THINK WE SHOULD JUST BUILD OVER IT.

I THINK SO TOO.

FOR NOW WE CAN DO THE SIDE PIECES, RIGHT?

NOAH, YOU KNOW HOW --

WE CAN GET ONE CORNER SET OUT.

WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CLOSE FAMILY.

WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY TIGHT-KNIT.

AND EVEN THOUGH WE'RE SPREADING OUT NOW,

I THINK IN A LOT OF WAYS WE'VE COME EVEN TIGHTER.

SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE. REMEMBER?

THAT'S IT.

IS HE WAITING UNTIL IT'S, LIKE, COMPLETELY DONE

TO BRING THE BABY UP? FOUR WALLS AND A ROOF.

IT'S GONNA BE AN UNDERTAKING,

BUT ONCE IT'S HERE, IT'S GONNA BE HERE FOREVER.

NORTH STAR RANCH IS GROWING FASTER

THAN THE BROWNS COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED.

WHOA. WE OWN THIS.

AND BUILDING NEW HOMES AND STRUCTURES

TO FULFILL THEIR DREAM CAN ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED

IN THE VAST WILDERNESS OF THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS.

IT'S GORGEOUS, ISN'T IT?

IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC TO IT.

IT'S A MIRACLE IS WHAT IT IS.

TO BE UP ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN LOOKING DOWN

AND THE RANCH GROWING...

IMAGINATION IS THE ONLY THING GONNA SLOW US DOWN.

...IF YOU JUST STOP AND LOOK AROUND,

THERE'S A DREAM COMING TRUE HERE AT NORTH STAR.

THERE REALLY IS.

TIMBER!

WE FOUGHT HARD IN ALASKA

TO HAVE A SELF-SUSTAINING LIFESTYLE --

YOU KNOW, RENEWABLE RESOURCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

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

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK THE DREAM IS FAR.

IS THIS YOUR LITTLE PLATFORM, BIRDIE?

IT'S NOT JUST A LITTLE PLATFORM.

IT'S THE BEGINNING OF MY HOME.

-BEING SOMEWHERE LIKE WE ARE ON THE MOUNTAIN,

SOMEWHERE WHERE EVERYONE HAS THE SPACE,

WHERE EVERYONE HAS THAT DREAM,

IT'S ALMOST LIKE A NEW DREAM, BUT IT'S NOT.

IT'S THE SAME DREAM IN A NEW SPOT,

AND EVERYONE HAS MADE THE CHOICE

TO STILL LIVE THE WAY THAT WE USED TO,

TO STILL REMEMBER THE BUSH WAY AND TO BUILD UP ON THE MOUNTAIN.

GUYS, CLEAR!

-GUN IT! -THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!

RAIN'S LIVING IN, LIKE, A SMALL HOUSE ON WHEELS.

BEAR'S GOING CONTAINER. I'M IN A TREE HOUSE.

WE'VE MOVED A LOT. YEAH, I'VE MADE NEW CAMPS.

BUT I FEEL LIKE WASHINGTON'S DIFFERENT

BECAUSE WE'RE ALL BUILDING OUR THINGS.

WASHINGTON IS DIFFERENT

THAN ABOUT ANY OTHER PLACE WE'VE EVER BEEN.

AND IT HAS BEEN FROM THE BEGINNING.

WHEN THIS DOOR OPENED AND WE SAW,

YOU KNOW, WHAT THE BIG GUY HAD PLANNED FOR US,

IT'S LIKE HOW MUCH MORE BLESSED COULD SOMEONE BE?

THIS IS PERFECT. IT REALLY IS.

WE'RE OFFICIALLY BACK IN THE BUSH.

AND DOESN'T IT FEEL GOOD?

THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY ORDER

IF WE MADE A LIST.

IT'S WILD AS YOU WANT IT TO BE.

AND IT'S NOT SOME PLACE

THAT THERE ARE ANY RULES TO OR ANYTHING.

IT'S A PLACE WE CAN ACTUALLY GO

AND DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO AND LIVE A LIFE WE WANT TO LIVE.

-THIS IS WHERE I BELONG.

TOP OF THE WORLD, MA.

TOP OF THE WORLD.
