SLOW DOWN.

SLOW DOWN!

WHOA! GABEY!

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

COME ON. I CAN'T LEAVE YOU OUT. GET INSIDE.

...A DANGEROUS SUMMER STORM

BEARS DOWN ON THE MOUNTAIN.

THEY CAN SENSE THAT IT'S A PRETTY BAD STORM.

AND, AS THE WOLF PACK RUSHES TO SAVE ALL THEY HAVE BUILT...

MY ORIGINAL LAB WAS STURDY.

THIS ONE, I HOPE IT MAKES IT.

YOU'RE COVERED IN FIBERGLASS.

I WILL DECK YOU. WHOA!

...EVERY SECOND COUNTS.

WE COULD BE IN TROUBLE.

THIS COULD BE THE STORM OF THE CENTURY.

I'M MAKING THE WEDDING BENCHES.

SO, I'M FIGURING OUT, IF I WAS SITTING ON THIS,

HOW TALL DOES IT NEED TO BE TO BE COMFORTABLE?

I THINK JUST A LITTLE UNDER MY FEET, LIKE RIGHT THERE.

♪♪

I HAD SOME WEDDING BENCHES, BUT THE WEDDING GOT POSTPONED

AND SO SOME OF THEM GOT USED FOR FIREWOOD,

SO I NEED TO MAKE SOME MORE.

♪♪

TIMBER!

THERE ARE GONNA BE EIGHT BENCHES IN TOTAL.

I HAVE FOUR, SO I NEED FOUR MORE BENCHES,

SO I NEED LIKE 12 ROUNDS.

NOW THAT THE WEDDING'S PRETTY CLOSE

AND WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING IT, THIS TIME,

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

I THINK IT WAS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE,

THE WHOLE HAVING TO POSTPONE IT,

BECAUSE WE WANTED TO HAVE A SPRING WEDDING

IN THE VERY BEGINNING.

WE'RE GOING A LITTLE BIT INTO SUMMER

AND IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL ON THE MOUNTAIN RIGHT NOW.

I THINK WE HAVE OUR HEAD SPACE RIGHT FOR IT.

IT'S GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL THING.

I CAN SEE THE BRIDE AND GROOM NOW.

SHE'S WALKING DOWN THE AISLE.

SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

HE LOOKS NERVOUS, BUT READY.

OH, YEAH.

THE HOT SUMMER MONTHS HAVE ARRIVED

IN NORTHERN WASHINGTON

AND GABE'S UPCOMING WEDDING

IS ONE OF THE MANY SIGNS OF GROWTH ON NORTH STAR RANCH.

IS THERE A BABY HORSE IN THE HORSE?

DID WOODLAND HAVE A BABY?!

WOODLAND HAD A BABY!

THEY'RE MULTIPLYING.

I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE

AND EVERYTHING WAS JUST A FIELD.

NOW, TO LOOK AROUND AND JUST TO SEE

THAT OUR DREAM IS ACTUALLY COMING TRUE

AND, YOU KNOW, HAVING ALL THE ANIMALS,

IT'S JUST VERY REWARDING.

YOU WANT SOME MILK? YOU WANNA STAND?

OH, GOOD! OKAY, HOLD ON.

GO ON, LITTLE BABY. GO TO YOUR MAMA.

GOOD BOY.

BUT LIKE NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS GIVING BIRTH,

IT'S DEFINITELY HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF LIKE,

YOU KNOW, WHO'S DUE.

SEE YOU DIDN'T EVEN NEED MY MILK.

YOU WANT THE RANCH TO PROGRESS, OF COURSE.

YOU KNOW, YOU WANNA HAVE BABIES. YOU WANNA KEEP GOING

AND HAVE MORE THAN YOU HAD LAST YEAR.

IT'S A GREAT THING, BUT IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT SHOWS

HOW CONSCIENTIOUS YOU HAVE TO BE AND HOW YOU HAVE TO STAY

AT LEAST A YEAR OR TWO AHEAD OF WHAT THE RANCH IS DOING,

OR YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH IT.

- UGH. - THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN,

- WASN'T IT? - WHICH ONE?

THE WINDMILL.

- OH. - YOU KNOW, THE BIG --

IT STICKS UP AND LIKE

- CHOPS STUFF. - THE ONLY WINDMILL WE MESS WITH.

IT WAS A TOUGH JOB, BUT IT IS WORTH IT.

- YEAH. - I MEAN, IT WAS WORTH IT.

YEAH. IT'S LIKE

AS SOON AS WE GET SOMETHING FINISHED,

THERE'S THE NEXT ONE.

WE NEED A COUPLE OF PRETTY LARGE

HOLDING SYSTEMS.

WE NEED ONE WE COULD PUT, I DON'T KNOW,

ABOVE THE BARN, WHERE THE WINDMILL

CAN PUMP TO IT EASY. THEN GIVE YOU ONE

THAT YOU CAN GRADUALLY FEED TO YOUR HOUSE

AND DOWN TO BAM.

YOU KNOW, THE NEXT STEP IS ALWAYS

SOMETHING WHERE YOU CAN CONTAIN WATER.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T REALLY THINK THAT WE NEED A FULL WATER TERN,

SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS GO WITH THE LARGEST CONTAINERS

THAT'LL HOLD WATER, THAT WE CAN FIND,

ELEVATE 'EM WITH THE NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LAND.

THEN, THEY CAN ACTUALLY FEED A HOUSE WITH A LITTLE PRESSURE.

I MEAN, THE HORSES, ALONE, ARE GOING THROUGH A TON OF WATER.

THE COWS, EVERYTHING'S GOING THROUGH

A TON OF WATER RIGHT NOW.

IT'S GETTING HARD TO HANDLE.

IT'S LIKE POPCORN DOWN THERE.

YOU KNOW I THINK, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE ALL GETTING

A LITTLE BIT FRAZZLED 'CAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY ANIMALS

AND TAKING CARE OF THEM IS LIKE A FULL-TIME JOB

AND I THINK THAT, ONCE WE CAN SOLVE THE WATER ISSUE,

IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT OF PRESSURE OFF.

IT'S GONNA GIVE US A LOT MORE FREE TIME TO KIND OF WORK

ON OTHER PROJECTS, DO OTHER THINGS.

AND THIS WINDMILL, IT'S GONNA SOLVE IT,

BUT WE NEED SOMEPLACE TO STORE THE WATER.

SO WE NEED SOMETHING TO FILL UP.

IT'S GOTTA BE OUR FIRST PRIORITY RIGHT NOW.

♪♪

IT'S HOT. AT LEAST IT'S A LITTLE BIT SHADY.

WITH THE ANTICIPATION OF RUNNING WATER

AT HIS HOME SITE,

NOAH SEIZES THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND,

WITH THE PLAN TO BUILD BOTH

AN EXTENSION TO HIS M.A.S.H. TENT

AND A LUXURIOUS BUSH SHOWER.

THE M.A.S.H. TENT JUST ISN'T LARGE ENOUGH.

SO THE IDEA IS WE'RE GOING TO BUILD

A BEDROOM AND BABY'S ROOM

AND A OUTBUILDING

THAT IS GOING TO BE A SHOWER.

I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING I CAN

TO MAKE IT AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE.

♪♪

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THE M.A.S.H. TENT NEEDS

TO BE ADDED ONTO.

THE IDEA WAS TO GET THE CASTLE,

OR AT LEAST THE FIRST PART OF IT PUT UP,

BUT THAT'S CLEARLY NOT AN OPTION,

SO WHAT IS IN MY CONTROL

IS PUTTING UP A BUILDING THAT IS SMALL ENOUGH

THAT IT DOESN'T MEET ANY REGULATIONS.

I DON'T WANT MY WIFE AND MY SON TO HAVE TO LIVE IN A TENT, SO,

I WANNA GIVE THEM SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE.

I WANNA GIVE THEM MORE THAN I HAD.

I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE ME TO DO THIS EXTENSION.

I JUST HOPE I'M ABLE TO DO IT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

THE SOONER I CAN GET MY FAMILY UP HERE WITH ME, THE BETTER.

THAT'S A RELIEF.

PHEW!

IT'S LIKE THE HOTTER IT GETS,

THE SLOWER I MOVE.

♪♪

AH.

THIS MORNING, WE FOUND OUT THAT THERE'S A STORM

TWO OR THREE DAYS BEHIND.

NORMALLY, IN ALASKA, WE DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO WEATHER.

WE JUST KEPT WORKING.

IT'S HARDER TO DO THAT ON THE MOUNTAIN

BECAUSE, ONE, THE MUD, YOU CAN'T GET AROUND.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO PLAY IN THE MUD.

YOU WANT IT OFF TO THE SIDE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE,

SO THE CARS DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. - YEAH, RIGHT. I KNOW.

SINCE RELOCATING TO NORTHERN WASHINGTON,

THE BROWNS HAVE HAD TO CONTEND

WITH DANGEROUS AND ERRATIC WEATHER.

I MEAN, IT CAN BE 80°, SUNSHINE,

YOU'RE BURNING UP, ONE MINUTE.

AND THERE'S HAIL AND SNOW COMING DOWN

ANOTHER HOUR LATER.

THE WEATHER IS SO UNPREDICTABLE.

IT DOES SLOW US DOWN.

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

AND WITH A MAJOR STORM WARNING

IN THEIR VICINITY,

THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT WILL HIT THEIR MOUNTAIN NEXT.

WE HAVE NEVER SAT AND WAITED FOR ANY KIND OF ADVERSITY

OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO PASS.

WE'VE ALWAYS CLIMBED ABOVE IT.

AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TIMES IN OUR LIFE THAT, YOU KNOW,

BY NOT STOPPING AND GOING THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS,

IN FAITH IN GOD OF THE END GOAL,

WE'VE ALWAYS ACCOMPLISHED WHAT WE WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH.

DOES HE CHARGE FOR HIS STUFF

OR IS IT PRETTY MUCH JUST TAKE WHAT YOU WANT?

- NO, HE CHARGES. - ANH.

WITH A MAJOR STORM POTENTIALLY DAYS AWAY,

BROTHERS BAM AND GABE ACCELERATE THE HUNT

TO SALVAGE WATER TANKS FOR THE FAMILY.

KNOCK-KNOCK.

- HEY, BAM. - HOW YOU BEEN?

ALRIGHT. HOW YOU BEEN? IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

DOING GOOD. IT'S A WARM ONE TODAY, ISN'T IT?

DEFINITELY.

SO WE GOT WORD FROM RORY THAT HE MIGHT HAVE

SOME WATER TANKS LIKE WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

IT'S REALLY COOL HERE TO SEE THAT THAT SMALL TOWN MENTALITY,

THAT BUSH MENTALITY THAT WE'RE USED TO, STILL REALLY EXISTS.

WE HEARD THE TALE THAT YOU HAVE SOME LARGE WATER TANKS

THAT CAME FROM A SCHOOL OR SOMETHING.

I GOT THEM UP AT MY NEIGHBOR'S.

ALRIGHT. OH, SO THEY'RE NOT HERE AT THE YARD?

RIGHT. BUT IT'S NOT TOO FAR AWAY.

IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET UP THERE.

ALRIGHT. AND ARE THEY BIG? ARE THEY METAL, PLASTIC?

THEY'RE OVER FIVE FEET DIAMETER.

FIBERGLASS ON THE OUTSIDE,

SO YOU DON'T WANNA TOUCH THEM OR ANYTHING.

OH, THEY'RE BEAR FIBERGLASS?

YEAH, AND NEED TO PAINT THEM.

FIBERGLASS HAS A TENDENCY TO WORK ITS WAY INTO YOUR SKIN.

IT'S A VERY UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MOVING SOMETHING

THAT IS AS SUBSTANTIAL IN SIZE AS THESE WATER TANKS ARE,

THEM BEING MADE OF FIBERGLASS JUST MAKES IT --

MAKES IT THAT MUCH, MUCH MORE FUN.

♪♪

I'M ASSUMING THESE ARE THE TANKS.

THESE ARE THE TANKS.

AYE. YEAH, THAT'S GONNA HELP US OUT.

ALRIGHT. NOW, YOU SAW THE TRAILER.

DO YOU THINK WE CAN FIT BOTH OF THESE GUYS ON THERE?

I THINK IT'S GONNA BE TIGHT,

BUT I THINK IT'LL MAKE IT.

THESE TANKS THAT RORY HAS, THEY'RE HUGE.

THEY'RE DEFINITELY WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.

THEY'RE EVEN BIGGER THAN GABEY AND I WERE EXPECTING.

CAREFUL, MAN. DON'T STEP ON THE FIBERGLASS.

GABEY.

- WHAT? - YOU'RE WALKING ALL OVER THE FIBERGLASS, MAN.

- I'M JUST TRYING TO GET AN EYE - YOU'RE GONNA TRACK THAT

- ON WHAT WE'RE DOING. - RIGHT INTO THE CAR.

I CAN SEE THAT IN THE SUN,

THE FIBERGLASS PLANE.

REALLY? OOH, I'M SORRY.

YOU SHOULD LISTEN, GABEY.

WELL, WHEN RORY SAYS IT, IT MADE SENSE.

WHEN YOU SAID IT, IT JUST CAME OFF AS WHITE NOISE.

WHOA!

GABEY IS DEFINITELY NOT BEING AS CAREFUL

AS HE SHOULD BE WITH HIM CLIMBING ALL OVER THEM.

LATER, HE'S GONNA REALIZE THAT HE'S COVERED IN FIBERGLASS

AND IT'S NOT GONNA BE FUN.

NOW, HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT FOR THE TANKS?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FOR 'EM?

500 BUCKS FOR BOTH OF 'EM.

I ACTUALLY PAID 500 APIECE FOR 'EM.

IS THERE ANY WORK AT THE YARD

THAT WE MIGHT COULD DO AS LIKE A BARTER

TO TAKE OFF SOME OF THE PRICE?

I WOULD SAY SO, YEAH.

I CAN ALWAYS USE SOME HELP DOWN THERE.

SO WHAT DO YOU SAY TO $250 AND MY LITTLE BROTHER?

- ALRIGHT. OKAY. - SOUNDS GOOD.

♪♪

I NEED A LITTLE MORE, A LITTLE MORE CABLE.

OKAY. CAREFUL WITH THAT FIBERGLASS.

THAT'S IT. WATCH YOUR FEET.

YEAH, BRING IT DOWN.

YEAH, BAM. IT'S NOT TOXIC WASTE.

YOU ARE COVERED IN FIBERGLASS.

IT'S ALL OVER YOUR SHIRT, RIGHT.

I'LL BE UPWIND.

I WILL DECK YOU, IF YOU GET ANY CLOSER.

KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING,

- KEEP GOING, KEEP GOING. - SLOW AND STEADY.

- LITTLE BIT MORE. -LOOKING GOOD.

GOT 'EM. THAT'S IT.

ALRIGHT. I GUESS WE'RE READY

TO STRAP 'EM DOWN, HUH?

I'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY WITH PREPARING FOR THE WEDDING,

BUT, WE'RE SPREAD THIN RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW,

AND WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO BEFORE THE STORM HITS.

SO, WHATEVER IT TAKES, I'M THERE.

WE'RE GONNA DOUBLE UP WITH THIS RED ONE?

I THINK THE RED ONE MIGHT REACH

AND THEN, WE CAN JUST TIE ON THIS ONE

- FOR THE OTHER ONES. YEP.

YOU KNOW, I'M DEFINITELY GLAD THAT RORY IS ABLE TO HELP US

JUST LOAD THE TANKS ONTO THE TRAILER

'CAUSE, WITH THE STORM BLOWING IN,

WE'RE IN A HURRY TO GET THEM TO THE MOUNTAIN.

PERFECT. THANK YOU RORY.

TO DRIVE THIS THING DOWN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SLOW DOWN.

-THE BROWNS BRACE FOR AN INCOMING STORM.

THERE'S A STORM COMING.

YOU HAVE TO GET IN NOW, OKAY?

IF THIS STORM IS ANYTHING LIKE

THEY'RE TALKING, WE COULD BE IN TROUBLE.

THIS COULD BE THE STORM OF THE CENTURY.

DID WOODLAND HAVE A BABY?!

WOODLAND HAD A BABY!

THEY'RE MULTIPLYING.

NORTH STAR RANCH IS GROWING.

WITH FOALS AND CALVES BEING BIRTHED ON THE MOUNTAIN,

THE FAMILY'S NEED FOR WATER IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH.

YOU WANNA STAND? OH, GOOD! OKAY.

HOLD ON. GO ON, LITTLE BABY.

GO TO YOUR MAMA.

THERE'S A LOT MORE PRESSURE ON US,

AS TO WHAT WE'RE HAVING TO DO, NOW,

BECAUSE WE'RE USING SO MUCH WATER NOW.

WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH IT, IF WE'RE GONNA SUCCEED.

THE BROWNS HAVE ACQUIRED TWO 2,500-GALLON WATER TANKS,

CRUCIAL TO THEIR GOAL

OF RUNNING WATER ON THE MOUNTAIN...

I GUESS WE'RE READY TO STRAP 'EM DOWN.

SOUNDS GOOD.

...BUT WITH MAJOR STORMS FORECASTED FOR THE AREA,

GETTING TWO MASSIVE WATER TANKS UP THEIR PRIMITIVE ROAD

WILL BE A DANGEROUS RISK.

I'M ALREADY NERVOUS ABOUT TRYING

TO DRIVE THIS THING DOWN.

LONG ROAD HOME, YET.

MEANWHILE, AT THE PEAK OF THE BROWNS' MOUNTAIN...

YOU WANNA GO IN FRONT?

NO. I'LL KEEP MY EYES ON THOSE BOARDS.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR TEETH

KNOCKED ON WITH THOSE THINGS?

THESE BOARDS HERE?

NEVER.

BOARDS LIKE THESE? SEVERAL.

BROTHER NOAH IS BUILDING OUT HIS M.A.S.H. TENT

TO MAKE ROOM FOR HIS NEW FAMILY OF THREE.

YOU STILL SLEEPING IN THERE?

THOUGH, IT'S NOT THE CASTLE THEY DREAMED OF,

NOAH HAS BIG PLANS FOR THE EXPANSION.

- SO, EVERY TWO FEET, RIGHT? - YES.

SO, THIS LAST SUMMER, WE WERE REALLY GUNG HO

TO HAVING OUR BIG OLD CASTLE.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE JUST RUNNING

INTO SOME ZONING AND PERMIT ISSUES,

BUT, IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE OUR TENT

AND AN EXTENSION BEHIND IT TO GET US THROUGH.

THIS WILL BE NICE TO HAVE THE SPACE.

IT JUST SUCKS LIKE WE COULDN'T GET THE CASTLE DONE

IN TIME, YOU KNOW?

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME

TO BE ABLE TO GIVE RHAIN ALL OF THE LUXURIES THAT I CAN

WITH ROCKY TERRAIN AND STEEP CLIFFS.

TOWING OVER 1,000 POUNDS OF WATER TANKS.

IS JUST TO LET GO OF THEIR EARS,

PUT 'EM BEHIND THE WHEEL, AND SAY, "LET'S GO."

YOU DO HAVE HER IN FOUR-WHEEL, RIGHT?

NO. SHOULD I DO THAT?

GEE, LET'S SEE.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF NOW,

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO IT RIGHT NOW.

YOU DON'T PUT OFF 'TIL TOMORROW WHAT YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF TODAY.

NOAH WILL BE DRIVING A TRACTOR RECENTLY GIFTED TO HIM

BY HIS WIFE, RHAIN ALISHA.

THIS PAST YEAH WAS NOAH'S VERY FIRST FATHER'S DAY.

IT HAD TO BE SPECIAL, SO, I GOT A USED TRACTOR,

VERY, VERY GREEN AND PERFECT, AND WE NEEDED IT VERY BADLY.

YEAH, THEY STARTED PAINTING BOTH OF THEM.

WELL, ONE HAS A BIG FLOWER ON IT.

WE'LL JUST TAKE THE ONE CLOSEST.

ARE YOU GONNA KEEP THE FLOWER,

ONCE YOU GET IT UP TO YOUR PLACE?

NO.

IT'S KINDA LIKE A FORKLIFT, YOU KNOW?

WE'RE JUST GONNA PICK IT UP, SCOOP IT UP,

AND THE RATCHET STRAPS ARE GONNA HOLD IT INTO PLACE

AND WE CAN HOPEFULLY HAUL IT TO WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO.

YOU SURE THIS IS GONNA WORK?

- YES. - YOU SEEM PRETTY CONFIDENT.

I'M A DAD.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

WE'VE EVER MOVED ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THIS.

NOAH'S TRACTOR'S PRETTY STRONG,

BUT IT'S A LOTTA WEIGHT ON THE END OF THE BUCKET.

ANY LITTLE BIT THAT WE GO WRONG COULD TIP US.

WHOA!

- READY. - READY.

WE'RE DOING IT!

YOU'RE IN A LITTLE BIT OF A HILL.

- I THINK IT'S ALL GOOD THOUGH. - LOWER RIGHT STABIE.

- ALL THE WAY? - JUST...THERE!

LEFT OR RIGHT?

RIGHT! LITTLE LOWER. LITTLE BIT HIGHER.

THANK YOU.

- ALRIGHT. - READY?

- READY. - TO CASTLE RIDGE!

TO CASTLE RIDGE!

YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH FIGURE THAT, IF SOMETHING'S TOO HEAVY

FOR THE TRACTOR, YOU CAN FEEL IT.

JUST KEEP AN EYE ON IT.

I CAN'T REALLY SEE THE ROAD WITH THIS THING,

SO I'M BASICALLY JUST DRIVING

- ABOUT THREE FEET IN FRONT OF ME. - OKAY.

THAT'S ACTUALLY WHY GABE WAS RIDING IN THE BACK,

SO HE CAN CONTROL BOTH MY STABIES

AND ALSO USE THE STINGER IN THE BACK

TO BE ABLE TO COUNTERBALANCE US.

IS THIS WHERE IT'S GOING?

YEAH, RIGHT HERE!

IT ISN'T JUST IMPORTANT.

IT'S MANDATORY TO GET THIS JOB DONE

AND GET THE WATER TANKS MOVED UP TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.

IT'S TOO HEAVY. PUT IT BACK.

NAH, IT'S NOT WORTH BLOWING OUT OUR GUTS.

SMART WAYS IS WE USE THE TRACTOR.

ALRIGHT!

- GABE. - YO?

DURING THIS, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KINDA BE

TO THE SIDE, SO YOU CAN KEEP AN EYE ON EVERYTHING.

I DON'T WANNA CRUSH YOU. THAT WEIGHS A LOT.

I WOULD HATE TO BE CRUSHED, TO BE HONEST.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE COME A LONG WAY.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING AT GETTING THESE TANKS UP HERE FOR AWHILE

AND, NOW THAT WE'RE SO CLOSE TO THE END,

WE NEED TO JUST TAKE IT.

IT'S THE SHORT GAME, YOU KNOW. IT'S PUTTING, YOU KNOW.

IF THIS WERE GOLF, WE DID THE LONG DRIVE.

WE MADE ALL THOSE AND, NOW, WE NEED

TO PUTT THE BALL IN THE HOLE.

UP, UP.

SLOW AND EASY! SLOW AND EASY!

WE GOT IT!

INDEED.

LET THERE BE WATER.

TANK'S UPRIGHT. IT'S LEVELED OFF.

EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD, WE DID IT, YOU KNOW?

WE CAME, WE SAW, WE CONQUERED.

AT LEAST ONE OF THE TANKS IS INTO PLACE

AND IT LOOKS LIKE BAM AND NOAH ARE GONNA HAVE SOME WATER.

TAKE ME HOME. I'M GONNA CATCH

A COUPLE Z's ON THE WAY.

TRY NOT TO FLIP US AND KILL ME.

WILL DO.

I'M GONNA GET AS MANY THINGS

TUCKED UP AND OUT OF THE WAY AS POSSIBLE.

-THE FAMILY BUCKLES DOWN

AS THE STORM SHAKES THE RANCH.

I'VE PUT SO MUCH TIME INTO THE LAB.

I HOPE IT MAKES IT.

STOP. IT'S FINE. YOU DO THIS ALL THE TIME.

GIRL, IF YOU KICK ME IN THE FACE,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM.

A STORM IS APPROACHING NORTH STAR RANCH.

AND WITH LIGHTNING CLOUDS ROLLING IN FROM THE EAST,

THE HOMESTEAD COULD BE IN PERIL.

A LOT OF THE TIME, YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY TELL

WHEN A STORM IS ABOUT TO COME.

WASHINGTON IS VERY HARD TO PREDICT,

BUT THE ANIMALS ACTUALLY TELL US BEFOREHAND.

SO THAT'S THE MAIN THING THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO FOCUS ON

RIGHT NOW, AND PREPARE NOT ONLY OURSELVES FOR IT

BUT ALSO THEM FOR IT.

HELLO.

IT'S A LIVELY DAY HERE AT THE BARN.

THEY CAN PROBABLY SENSE THAT IT'S A PRETTY BAD STORM.

SWEETHEART IS STILL PRODUCING A LOT OF MILK.

WE'RE HAVING TO MILK HER LIKE FOUR TIMES A DAY.

AND SO THERE IS A LOT OF WORRY WHEN A STORM IS COMING IN

BECAUSE WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO MILK HER

ALL THE TIMES SHE NEEDS TO BE MILKED.

THAT CAN LEAD TO INFLAMMATION, SWELLING.

THE MILK INSIDE WILL ACTUALLY SPOIL, MAKING THEM SICK,

MAKING THE MILK PRODUCTION NO GOOD ANYMORE.

AND THAT'S GONNA PUT US IN A REAL LOSS.

NORMALLY THERE'D BE QUITE A BIT OF ROOM TO PUSH UP,

GRAB THE MILK, AND THEN SQUIRT IT DOWN.

SHE'S JUST A LITTLE SWOLLEN,

AND SO I'M TRYING TO BE GENTLE WITH HER

SO SHE DOESN'T GET RAMBUNCTIOUS.

OKAY, IF YOU SPILL MY MILK, I'M GONNA BE VERY MAD AT YOU.

YOU WERE ALMOST --

HEY. YEAH, THAT IS NOT OKAY.

I'LL STILL DRINK IT, BUT IT'S NOT OKAY.

YOU NEVER CRY OVER SPILLED MILK.

THIS IS NICE. PUT A FLOWER ON IT.

I DON'T KNOW. I NEED TO JUST SPRAY PAINT IT ALL BLACK.

ATTACH IT AND START ROLLING THE PIPE DOWN.

BEFORE WINTER, WE'LL DIG IT DOWN.

GET IT NICE AND COVERED. GET WATER TO THE TENT.

LET'S DO THIS THING.

WITH ONE OF THE ACQUIRED WATER TANKS

NEARLY 250 YARDS AWAY,

NOAH MUST RUN TUBING DOWN TO HIS M.A.S.H. TENT.

AND THOUGH THE MOUNTAIN'S WATER SYSTEM

IS NOT YET CONNECTED TO HIS HOME SITE,

IT'S A VITAL NEXT STEP.

HOW MUCH OF THIS DO WE HAVE? 700 AND WHAT?

786 FEET. STILL GOOD?

YEAH. OH, YEAH. THIS IS GONNA BE REALLY,

REALLY FUN GOING THROUGH ALL THE BUSHES.

THE STORM IS REALLY JUST ANOTHER OBSTACLE.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT BROWNS ARE WELL USED TO HURDLING.

PERSEVERANCE IS JUST SOMETHING INGRAINED INTO US.

ACTUALLY, THIS MIGHT WORK.

ALMOST TO THE ROAD. WE'RE SO CLOSE.

THE BROWNS HAD TAUGHT ME A LESSON IN STUBBORNNESS,

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT.

SO IF THEY NEED SOMETHING OR IF THEY WANT SOMETHING

AND THEY WANT IT TO HAPPEN, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OR ELSE.

WHERE'S THE WATER HEATER GONNA GO?

IT'S GOING TO GO RIGHT THERE.

I LOVE IT.

OKAY, SO THIS ONE'S THE SPLITTER HERE AND IT GOES STRAIGHT IN,

HEATS THE WATER, AND COMES BACK OUT TO THE HOT WATER KNOB.

OKAY?

ANOTHER ONE COMES STRAIGHT OFF OF THIS

AND GOES TO THE SINK IN THE BATHROOM.

AND IT SPLITS OFF TO GO TO THE SINK IN THE KITCHEN.

AH, THAT'S AMAZING.

LIVING IN THE M.A.S.H. TENT FOR AN EXTENDED TIME,

IT'S A LOT LIKE MY MOM AND DAD WHEN THEY FIRST GOT TO ALASKA.

DO YOU LIKE IT?

YES. WHAT'S GONNA GO ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WALLS?

BLUE TARP?

NO, I WAS THINKING A BROWN TARP.

THE DIFFERENCE IS MY PARENTS,

WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED, THEY WERE BOTH GREENHORNS.

THEY WERE FLATLANDERS.

ME, I GREW UP DOING THIS.

SO MY WIFE WENT TO ALASKA, GOT TARZAN,

AND NOW WE'RE SETTLING HERE IN WASHINGTON.

I NOW NEED A HOT SHOWER.

SOON, MY LOVE.

♪♪

YOU WANT IN? THERE'S A STORM COMING.

IF YOU WANT IN, YOU HAVE TO GET IN NOW, OKAY?

COME ON, INSIDE. IN THE BARN. GO, GO ON.

THE STORM IS COMING VERY FAST,

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE ALL THE ANIMALS ARE INSIDE,

EVERYONE'S SECURE, ALL THE DOORS ARE SEALED

BECAUSE IT'S ALL I CAN DO.

OKAY, GUYS.

IT ALREADY SOUNDS LIKE IT'S PRETTY CLOSE.

YOU SHOULD ALL BE OKAY, THOUGH.

HEY, NORRIS, HEY, BUDDY.

WE WANT OUR HORSE TO HAVE

AROUND LIGHTNING, BUT IT SHOULD BE OKAY, OKAY?

YEAH.

I ALWAYS FEEL BAD

WHEN THE ANIMALS ARE FREAKED OUT OR PANICKING

BECAUSE I CAN'T JUST HOLD THEM AND TELL THEM IT'LL BE OKAY.

I TRY AND BE THERE FOR THEM AS MUCH AS I CAN.

I'M HOPING IT'S NOT THAT BAD AND IT JUST PASSES.

WE'VE DEALT WITH STORMS BEFORE ON BOATS OR, YOU KNOW,

EVEN IN BROWNTOWN, BUT HERE WE HAVE A LOT OF ANIMALS

THAT WE'RE TAKING CARE OF,

AND SO THAT MAKES JUST THE STORMS ALL THAT MUCH DIFFERENT.

HEY, GUYS. HEY. I KNOW.

THIS STORM COULDN'T BRING ANYTHING

THAT I WOULDN'T PROTECT YOU FROM.

THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'LL BE FINE.

♪♪

THE STORM HAS ARRIVED ON THE BROWNS' MOUNTAIN,

LEAVING THE WOLF PACK THEIR FINAL MINUTES

TO MAKE PREPARATIONS.

MY ORIGINAL LAB BACK IN BROWN TOWN,

IT WAS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, STURDY.

THIS ONE, HOWEVER -- I HOPE IT MAKES IT.

IT MIGHT JUST BE A COUPLE TENTS PUT TOGETHER,

BUT I'VE PUT SO MUCH TIME INTO THE LAB.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE IT JUST DESTROYED BY NATURE.

I FIGURE I'M GONNA GET AS MANY THINGS TUCKED UP

AND OUT OF THE WAY AS POSSIBLE JUST IN CASE I COME BACK

AND IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE.

THE WEATHER HERE IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY,

AND IF THIS STORM IS ANYTHING LIKE THEY'RE TALKING,

WE COULD BE IN TROUBLE.

THIS COULD BE THE STORM OF THE CENTURY.

WHEN YOU'RE ON A BOAT AND A STORM'S COMING,

YOU FIND A HARBOR. YOU FIND A BED.

YOU FIND ANYTHING YOU CAN TO BE ABLE

TO GET OUT OF THE MAIN STORM

AND JUST BUCKLE DOWN THE HATCHES AND WAIT.

THERE'S NOT MUCH ELSE YOU CAN DO.

JUST WAIT IT OUT AND PRAY.

SO, YOU THINK GABE IS WISE TO ANYTHING?

YOU THINK HE SUSPECTS? NAH.

WEEKS EARLIER, BROTHERS BEAR AND NOAH

TREATED GABE TO A PRE-WEDDING SURPRISE...

DO YOU HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON?

NO.

...IN A WAY ONLY THE BROWN BROTHERS COULD.

WELCOME TO YOUR BACHELOR PARTY.

OH.

I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A BACHELOR PARTY.

I HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH ABOUT BACHELOR PARTIES.

OKAY, GABE, YOU GET TO START.

OKAY. WHO GOES AFTER HIM?

YOU OR I?

MOST BACHELOR PARTIES, YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS

AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE AROUND.

USUALLY THEY'RE A LITTLE WILDER.

THIS THING IS A SHUFFLE BOARD.

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO SEE HOW CLOSE TO THAT END OF THAT

YOU CAN GET THIS THING.

SO YOU JUST THROW THAT THING. OH, NOT BAD. NOT BAD.

REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO COME TO PLACES

LIKE THIS AND CHASE GIRLS?

NO MORE CHASING GIRLS FOR YOU GUYS.

YOU HAVING FUN?

I AM. I'M HAVING A LOT OF FUN.

THIS IS REALLY COOL.

THEY CAN SENSE THAT IT'S A PRETTY BAD STORM.

AFTER DIRE PREDICTIONS THAT A STORM WOULD RAVAGE

NORTH STAR RANCH, THE FAMILY PREPARES FOR THE WORST.

COME ON. I CAN'T LEAVE YOU OUT.

GET INSIDE.

AND AT THE MOUNTAIN'S PEAK,

BROTHER NOAH HOPES HIS LAB CAN WITHSTAND

THE PREDICTED HIGH WINDS.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO STAND UP TO WATER, BUT I HAVE ALTERED IT.

I FIGURE I'M GONNA GET AS MANY THINGS TUCKED UP

AND OUT OF THE WAY AS POSSIBLE JUST IN CASE I COME BACK

AND IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE.

I HOPE IT MAKES IT.

♪♪

ALL THE TREES LOOK FINE.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY GOT TOO SCARED AND BUSTED OUT.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING GOT HIT.

WE SHOULD CHECK THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BARN.

OVERNIGHT,

THE PREDICTED STORM DOES DAMAGE TO THE MOUNTAIN.

ANIMALS ARE GOOD AND THE BARN IS INTACT, NO TREES FELL.

BUT THE BROWNS' RANCH HOLDS,

STANDING UP TO MASSIVE WIND AND RAINFALL.

ONLY MINIMAL DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE ANIMAL ENCLOSURES.

WHERE LIKE THIS BOARD'S SUPPOSED TO BE UP HERE.

I THINK MORE SCREWS WOULD BE GOOD.

I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO JUST GO BACK THROUGH

AND REINFORCE IT COMPLETELY.

THOUGH THE STORM SPARED MOST OF NORTH STAR RANCH,

NOAH'S LAB AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN IS HIT THE HARDEST.

WELL, IT TURNS OUT THAT THE STORM, IT DID SOME DAMAGE.

IT MUST'VE BLOWN SOME OF MY TARP STRAPS LOOSE.

THEN IT MADE THE TARP SAG, THE WATER COLLECTED,

AND IT CRUSHED SOME OF MY FRAMING.

MY LAB IS A MESS.

WELL, THAT WAS ONE OF THE MAIN SUPPORTS.

THE DAMAGE THAT THE LAB IS TAKING,

IT REALLY IS A REMINDER OF HOW BAD IT CAN GET UP HERE.

THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK WE LOSE SIGHT OF.

AND IT REALLY REMINDS ME HOW STRONGLY I NEED

TO BUILD THE ADD-ON FOR THE M.A.S.H. TENT.

SO, YEAH, I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING I CAN

TO REINFORCE IT.

THIS SHOULD DO.

OKAY, SO LET'S GET THESE BENCHES LEVEL,

'CAUSE THAT DAY IS APPROACHING.

AFTER THE RANCH HOLDS STRONG AGAINST THE STORM,

BIRD SETS TO HELP GABE PREPARE FOR HIS WEDDING DAY,

NOW LESS THAN ONE WEEK AWAY.

IF THE LOG IS CROOKED, THEN THE BENCH WILL BE CROOKED.

SHOULD I PUT SOME DIRT IN THE FRONT?

GABE, EVER SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE GUY,

ALWAYS WANTED TO GET MARRIED.

HE ALWAYS WANTED THE PERFECT WEDDING.

HE WANTED A BUSH WEDDING.

HE'S JUST SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS DAY

THAT I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT DAY.

WELL, THAT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF COMFY.

NEVER MIND. I LIKE THAT.

THIS IS GONNA BE MESSY.

FURTHER UP THE MOUNTAIN,

NOAH HAS MANUALLY FILLED HIS WATER TANK

FOR A FINAL TEST OF HIS FAMILY'S RUNNING WATER.

SO I'M JUST GONNA INSULATE THIS, RUN IT UNDERNEATH

FROM THE SINK GOING THAT WAY TO THE SHOWER ATTACHMENT

TO HOOK IT UP HERE,

TURN IT ON, AND THERE SHOULD BE RUNNING WATER.

THE STORM WAS REALLY JUST ANOTHER OBSTACLE.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT BROWNS ARE WELL USED TO HURDLING.

I DECIDED IT'D BE BEST TO,

INSTEAD OF JUST FOCUS SOLELY ON THE SHOWER AND FINISH THAT OUT,

TO GET THE PORTIONS WE CAN GO AHEAD

AND START USING, 'CAUSE ONCE THIS IS HOOKED UP,

EVEN IF THE SHOWER IS NOT DONE YET,

WE STILL HAVE WATER IN THE SINK.

AND WE'RE FINISHED.

HERE GOES NOTHING.

WE HAVE WATER.

ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE RETURN OF THE FAMILY.

IT'S NOT REALLY A CHOICE OF OURS ANYMORE TO STOP.

YOU'RE EITHER GONNA WET AND WORK THROUGH IT

OR YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET ANYTHING DONE.

LET'S GET IT HOOKED UP AND PUMP THIS THING OUT.

THERE WE GO.

IF THERE'S A STORM COME IN,

WHICH THERE ALWAYS IS, YOU CAN'T BE LIKE,

"OKAY, WE'LL JUST HUNKER DOWN AND CALL IT A DAY."

YOU CAN'T. YOU HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE STORM.

YOU HAVE TO PUSH THROUGH

OR ELSE WE'RE NOT GONNA GET ANYTHING DONE.

BUT I WAS TAUGHT NEVER TO GIVE UP.

IF YOU GIVE UP, YOU LOSE.

NOBODY ELSE TOUCHES THESE LOCKS.

WHY AM I GETTING SO NERVOUS?
