THIS IS HOME IMPROVEMENT.

YEAH, HAS A LITTLE BIT OF GIVE. NICE FIRMNESS TO IT, TOO.

THIS IS DARN ACE -- "AWESOME, COOL, AND EXTREME."

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

YOU'RE KIND OF LIKE BABYSITTING A KITTY,

BUT YOU'RE LESS HAIRY.

...BAM FINALLY BREAKS GROUND ON HIS AMBITIOUS HOME BUILD.

HE'S GOT TO HAVE HELP. HE'S BITTEN OFF A LOT.

BUT HE'LL HAVE TO PLAY NICE

TO GET THE HELP HE NEEDS FROM THE REST OF THE CLAN.

- PAY ATTENTION! - DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING PARTICULAR

YOU WANT ON YOUR TOMBSTONE, OR JUST "HERE LIES IDIOT"?

-GABEY! -AND AS NOAH STEPS INTO

A NEW ROLE WITH THE FAMILY...

- ANY ADVICE? - DON'T STRESS.

...A FEARLESS PREDATOR RETURNS TO THE HOMESTEAD...

THEY STILL, LIKE, JUST KEEP COMING IN AND COMING IN,

AND NOW THERE ARE MORE OF THEM.

...FORCING GABE AND BIRD INTO ACTION.

DO IT.

HE'S BEEN EATING GRAIN AND A LOT OF IT.

CHICKEN FOOD. OH.

THERE'S A LOT OF SCAT UP HERE.

HE'S BEEN HANGING AROUND FOR LONGER THAN WE REALIZE.

NOT EVEN 50 FEET FROM THE BARN.

THAT'S A LITTLE CLOSE FOR COMFORT.

♪♪

THIS HILL IS DEFINITELY A HOT SPOT FOR HIM.

NOTHING'S KEEPING HIM AWAY,

AND WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SOME WAY TO STOP HIM.

DEEP IN THE MOUNTAINS OF WASHINGTON STATE,

THE WOLF PACK IS HARD AT WORK ON THE AMBITIOUS WATER SYSTEM

THAT WILL PROVIDE WATER TO MUCH OF NORTH STAR RANCH.

- TASTES LIKE VICTORY. - IT TASTES JUST LIKE VICTORY.

BUT WITH THE WINTER SEASON FAST APPROACHING,

EACH BROWN SIBLING HAS PROGRESSED

ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL HOMESTEADS --

ALL EXCEPT FOR ONE.

♪♪

THIS IS PERMANENT HOUSE. THIS IS HOME, YOU KNOW.

WE FINALLY FOUND IT, YOU KNOW?

IN ALASKA, WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A LOT OF CHOICE IN HOW WE LIVED.

HERE, IT'S A CHOICE.

AND WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT BAM,

BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS OWN PLACE STARTED YET.

BAM CAN WALK AWAY ANYTIME.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT ANYTIME NOW.

IT'S TIME TO REALLY SERIOUSLY START THINKING

ABOUT THE CHOICE, YOU KNOW, TO COMMIT COMPLETELY.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON, BAM?

A LITTLE OF THIS, A LITTLE OF THAT.

BASICALLY EVERYTHING.

BUILDING THE DREAM HOME IS THE IDEA,

YOU KNOW, NOT A TRAPPER SHACK, NOT A CLOSET.

MOST OF THE TIME, IN ALASKA,

WHAT WE LIVED IN WAS JUST FOR SURVIVAL.

IT WAS TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE ELEMENTS.

WELL, REMEMBER, GUYS, WE'RE NOT MOVING IN TO STAY.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE REAL ELABORATE. JUST STRING A TARP

SO EVERYBODY HAS SOMEWHERE TO GET OUT OF THE RAIN.

LET'S GO. ROUST IT OUT.

I HAVE NAILED EVERY NAIL THAT HAS GONE INTO THIS HOUSE.

FEEL A LITTLE BIT LIKE A KID BUILDING HIS FORT,

BUT I'M REALLY A 30-YEAR-OLD MAN BUILDING A SMALL BOX HOME.

IT'S REALLY EXCITING NOW HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY

TO BE BUILDING A DREAM HOME,

NOT JUST A TRAPPER SHACK --

SOMETHING THAT IS LIKE A REAL, ACTUAL HOME.

YOURS HAS TO KIND OF STEP UP IN PRIORITY, TOO.

EVERYBODY ELSE IS, LIKE, WILLING TO CUT BACK

AND KEEP CUTTING BACK AND WHITTLE IT DOWN,

AND I'M LIKE, "NO!"

YEAH. IT HAS TO BE WHAT IT IS.

SO I DON'T WANT TO ACT LIKE I'M THE CENTER

OF THE UNIVERSE OR SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, BAM CAN BE, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD,

STUBBORN SOMETIMES.

AND IT'S HARD FOR HIM TO ACCEPT HELP FROM ANYBODY.

HE WANTS THINGS DONE HIS WAY, AND HE HAS GRABBED AHOLD

REALLY TIGHT ON THE PREMISE THAT,

"WELL, IT MAY NOT BE RIGHT, BUT IT'S THE WAY I WANT IT."

IT'S GONNA STRETCH EAST TO WEST

SO THAT WE GET THE MOST SUNLIGHT POSSIBLE.

BUT THE BASE IS MOST OF THE HOUSE

BECAUSE OF THE PASSIVE SOLAR, THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED.

YOURS IS GONNA BE HARD TO DO, BRO.

I THOUGHT GABE'S WAS BAD, 'CAUSE GABE WANTS LOG,

BUT YOURS IS LIKE, MY GOSH, THAT'S GONNA BE HARD.

IT'S A REALLY BIG UNDERTAKING TRYING TO BUILD A FOREVER HOME

AND A DREAM HOME.

THERE'S A LOCAL MILL THAT MIGHT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY

FOR US TO CUT SOME LUMBER, AND THAT WOULD REALLY BE GREAT,

'CAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY A TICKING CLOCK AT THE MOMENT.

BAM HAS BROKERED A DEAL WITH A LOCAL YARD TO MILL HIS LUMBER.

BUT WITH THE MILL'S BUSY SEASON RAPIDLY APPROACHING,

IF HE FAILS TO SUPPLY THE LOGS IN TIME,

HIS DREAM HOME MUST WAIT UNTIL THE SPRING.

I'M NOT BUILDING A LOG CABIN,

AND I'M NOT BUILDING A CONCRETE CASTLE,

SO THE MATERIAL IS JUST NORMAL LUMBER.

IT'S GONNA BE CHALLENGING.

IT'S REALLY GREAT THAT BAM WANTS TO ACHIEVE PERFECTION

ON A HOUSE, BUT, YOU KNOW, THE MORE IMPORTANT THING,

I THINK, IS INCLUDING THE FAMILY,

HAVING FUN WITH THE FAMILY,

LETTING IT BE SOMETHING WHEN LOOK BACK LATER

THAT YOU DID WITH THE FAMILY.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY AN IMPORTANT THING.

I THINK CLEARING OFF THE TREES IS GONNA TURN OUT

TO BE THE EASIEST PART.

WELL...WHY AREN'T YOU DOING THAT?

♪♪

-YO, DUDE! -WOW, YOUR TRACTOR'S

MAKING SHORT WORK OF THIS PLACE.

INDEED.

IS THIS, LIKE, A DRIVEWAY OR SOMETHING?

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

NO. THEN, YEAH, IT'S A DRIVEWAY.

YEAH, OF COURSE I CAN KEEP A SECRET.

IT IS A HORSE CORRAL.

I KNEW IT! I DIDN'T KNOW IT.

I'M TRYING TO GET RID OF AS MANY ROCKS AS I CAN, FLATTEN IT OUT,

'CAUSE I HAVE BOUGHT RHAIN A HORSE FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 40 YEARS.

GROWING UP, MY DAD TOOK THEIR ANNIVERSARIES VERY SERIOUSLY.

NOW HAVING MY FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

WITH MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE,

I WANT THE TRADITIONS THAT I GREW UP WITH

TO CARRY ON BUT STRONGER.

I WILL STRIVE, FIGHT, AND DIE

TRYING TO MAKE EVERY YEAR BETTER THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT.

CLEAR OUT THE BIT IN BETWEEN,

AND WE WIGGLE IT OUT LIKE A TOOTH.

IT'S COOL THAT YOU'RE MARRIED, MAN.

ANOTHER PERSON BROUGHT INTO THE CLAN.

YEAH, WELL, THERE'S SO MANY MOVING PARTS TO IT.

RHAIN AND I WERE DOING IT ALL BY OURSELVES.

RIGHT, WELL, WE HAVE TO WORK -- SO THAT'S ONE THING DIFFERENT.

WELL, LIKE, Y'ALL WEREN'T WORKING A LOT ON THE MOUNTAIN,

THOUGH, YOU KNOW? TRUE.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE A HOMESTEAD YOU WERE TRYING TO MAKE.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE, LIKE, DREAMS YOU WERE TRYING TO FULFILL.

Y'ALL GUYS ARE BASICALLY JUST GALLIVANTING AROUND.

YOU KNOW?

SORE SUBJECT, GABE.

RHAIN AND I, WE HAD A REALLY ROCKY START

WITH THE FAMILY IN THE BEGINNING.

IT'S TAKEN US A LONG TIME TO GET BACK TO GOOD.

SO, NOAH, YOU GOT SOME SOUP COOKING, EH?

THE MISSUS HAS COOKED UP SOME GUMBO.

WE WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET A FOOTHOLD ON THE MOUNTAIN

AND MORE SUBMERSED WITH EVERYONE.

THIS IS GOOD TO GET AT LEAST A COUPLE OF US

AROUND THE CAMPFIRE. YEAH.

I CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST OR WHAT HAPPENED,

BUT I CAN MAKE SURE THAT FROM HERE ON OUT,

I DO MY BEST IN ORDER TO MAKE EVERYTHING

AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE BETWEEN EVERYONE.

- ANY ADVICE? - UH, DON'T STRESS.

EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

MY GOAL IS FOR EVERYONE TO STILL KNOW

THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE MY OWN FAMILY,

I'M STILL PART OF THE CLAN.

I'M STILL PART OF THE LARGER WOLF PACK,

AND I'M THERE FOR THEM.

- THE HELP IS APPRECIATED. - YEAH.

JUST WAIT TILL LITTLE ELIJAH GROWS UP A LITTLE BIT.

- OH, YEAH. - GONNA BE OUT HERE

BUSTIN' ROCKS WITH THE BEST OF THEM.

NEXT GENERATION. WHEW.

THIS IS HOME IMPROVEMENT.

LITTLE DUSTY. I HAVE TO DUST IT OFF FIRST.

WHILE THE OTHER SIBLINGS EXPAND

THEIR FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOUNTAIN,

BROTHER BEAR DIVES INTO SOME HOME RENOVATION,

HOPING TO ONE DAY MAKE IT LIVEABLE

FOR AN EXTREME FAMILY OF HIS VERY OWN.

RIGHT NOW, I'M WORKING ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF MY BED.

I THEORIZED THAT THIS CANVAS HERE WAS STRONG ENOUGH

THAT IF I STABBED IT AND TIED IT THROUGH,

THAT IT WOULDN'T RIP THROUGH. IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE

TO HOLD UP THE WEIGHT OF THE BED,

THE WEIGHT OF THE BLANKETS, THE WEIGHT OF THE PILLOWS,

AND THE WEIGHT OF ME.

MORE OF A MIXTURE BETWEEN A BED AND A HAMMOCK --

A "BAMMOCK."

THE GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO HOLD UP AS MUCH AS IT POSSIBLY CAN.

IT SHOULD ESSENTIALLY BE ABLE TO HOLD AT LEAST 9, 10 PEOPLE.

BASHING!

I DO WANT MY INSIDE OF MY PLACE TO BE NICE.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE EXTREME PRINCESS, SO TO SPEAK,

MAYBE, YOU KNOW, HAVE A FAMILY OF MY OWN ONE DAY.

IT REMINDS ME OF THE OLD BOAT, BEING UP HIGH,

'CAUSE I WAS ON A BOAT A LONG TIME WHEN I WAS A KID,

AND THE ROCKING BACK AND FORTH IS SOMETHING THAT'S,

YOU KNOW, NATURAL TO HUMANS AND EVEN MORE NATURAL TO ME.

I HAVE SLEPT IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS, TO BE HONEST.

I'VE SLEPT ON THE GROUND. I'VE SLEPT ON THE DIRT.

I'VE SLEPT IN MUD, ACTUALLY, SOME FOAM.

I'VE SLEPT IN -- SLEPT IN SMALL HOLES,

SLEPT IN A CLOSET.

I'VE SLEPT ON TOP OF MY CONEX.

I HAVE ACTUALLY SLEPT IN MANY DIFFERENT AREAS,

BUT NEVER THE BAMMOCK.

WELL, HELD THE INITIAL TEST.

YEAH, HAS A LITTLE BIT OF GIVE. NICE FIRMNESS TO IT, TOO.

CONCAVED IN THERE.

I THINK THE REST OF THE SIBLINGS

WILL BE PRETTY JEALOUS OF MY BAMMOCK IDEA.

THEY DON'T REALLY THINK AS EXTREME AS I DO,

TO TURN A BED INTO A HAMMOCK.

I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS DARN ACE --

"AWESOME, COOL, AND EXTREME." I LIKE IT.

ANYONE THAT WANTS A BAMMOCK,

JUST CALL THE NUMBER RIGHT UNDERNEATH ME.

IT'S 1-800-BAMMOCK.

-THIS? -HERE WE ARE.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT MY BACKYARD RIGHT HERE.

SO REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR BACK THERE

I PUT THE HOUSE, ALL THIS HAS TO GO.

OTHERWISE, IT'LL BE BLOCKING THE SUN.

BROTHER BAM HAS AN AMBITIOUS GOAL FOR HIS DREAM HOME.

BUT IN ORDER TO SUCCEED, HE'LL RELY ON HELP FROM HIS FAMILY.

TODAY, GABE IS FIRST TO LEND A HAND.

NOW, OF COURSE, I KNOW GABEY WON'T BE ABLE

TO BE UP HERE CONSTANTLY. HE'S A MARRIED MAN NOW.

SO I TRY TO, YOU KNOW, GET THE MOST AMOUNT OF USE I CAN

OUT OF HAVING HIM ON THE JOB.

THOSE TWO BIG GUYS THERE.

I THINK WE CAN USE THESE GUYS OVER HERE.

AND I'VE BEEN TALKING TO A GUY DOWN IN OROVILLE

THAT HAS A MILL TO GET HIM TO MILL THEM OUT INTO BEAMS

AND BRING THEM BACK UP THE MOUNTAIN.

SO THEN MOST YOUR HOUSE IS ALREADY HERE.

YOU JUST NEED TO CUT IT DOWN AND PUT IT TOGETHER.

A LOT OF IT, WHICH I THINK IS GONNA BE REALLY COOL.

I CAN'T SAY THAT I ALWAYS DO EVERYTHING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME,

BUT I AM A BIT OF A PERFECTIONIST

TO THE POINT THAT I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO BACK.

TIMBER!

BUT GABEY, HE'S BEEN WIELDING CHAINSAWS

SINCE HE COULD LIFT ONE,

SO I HAVE NO PROBLEM HANDING THE JOB OFF TO GABEY,

LETTING HIM MAKE SOME OF THESE REALLY IMPORTANT CUTS

ON BIG TREES.

OKAY, I'M GOING FOR IT, GABEY.

ALRIGHT, TAKE HER DOWN.

I NEED THEM TO COME DOWN IN AS WHOLE OF PIECES AS POSSIBLE

SO THAT THEN WE CAN MEASURE OFF

AND CUT TO THE SIZE THAT THE BEAMS WILL PROBABLY BE.

IF THESE TREES FALL AND THEY SHATTER INTO A BILLION PIECES,

THEY'RE NOT REALLY USABLE,

SO THE MORE WHOLE WE CAN TAKE THEM DOWN, THE BETTER.

KEEP GOING.

THAT'S HOW YOU CUT A TREE, MY FRIEND.

HE PUT IT RIGHT ONTO ANOTHER TREE.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS GO A FEW MORE FEET THAT WAY.

IF YOU CUT IT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH,

ONE OF THE WORST MISTAKES I'VE MADE

I CREATED A WIDOWMAKER,

TURNED BAM'S LITTLE CONSTRUCTION SITE INTO A HAZARD ZONE.

ONLY IF YOU WANT TO DIE.

WORKING WITH SOME OF MY SIBLINGS.

THERE'S ALWAYS GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT SLOWS YOU DOWN,

SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO RE-FIX, SOME MISTAKE THAT'S MADE.

I WANT IT TO BE PERFECT 100%, NOT GET OFF THE TRAIL, YOU KNOW,

KEEP PULLING THEM BACK ONTO WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

WE'RE UNDER A LOT OF TIME PRESSURE HERE,

SO WE JUST HAVE TO GET DONE NOW.

I ALMOST DON'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW TO HOOK THEM UP.

NOW I HAVE A DEADLINE WITH THE MILL

TO GET ALL THESE LOGS DOWN THERE,

SO THAT'S ALWAYS RIGHT THERE IN THE BACK OF MY MIND.

EVERY TIME I SLIP THE CHAIN AND HAVE TO RE-HOOK IT UP,

IT'S LIKE THAT'S 5 SECONDS I DON'T GET BACK.

I BARELY MADE A DENT.

IT JUST TAKES TIME. I'M ONE LITTLE OLD ANT OUT HERE

TRYING TO PLUG AWAY AND BUILD A KINGDOM.

ATOP THE BROWN'S 4,000-FOOT-HIGH MOUNTAIN,

THE WOLF PACK HAS BEEN BREAKING GROUND ON BROTHER BAM'S HOME.

NO TIME TO SLEEP, EAT.

JUST GOT TO KEEP WORKING.

NOW THEIR OSTRICHES HAVE ATTRACTED PREDATORS,

AND LAST NIGHT, ONE FEARLESS BEAR GOT TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF BEARS BEEN CIRCLING AROUND,

AND THEY'VE BEEN COMING IN,

AND THEY'VE GOTTEN INTO OUR FOOD BEFORE,

WHICH WE JUST HAD RIGHT OUTSIDE THE BARN,

SO IT'S LIKE AN EASY MEAL.

WE'RE GONNA BE MOVING IT UP INTO THE HAY LOFT TODAY.

IT'LL BE A LITTLE HARDER TO FEED THE ANIMALS,

BUT HOPEFULLY WE CAN ONLY FEED THE ANIMALS THAT WE BROUGHT HERE

AND NOT JUST ALL THE WILD PREDATORS

THAT WANT, YOU KNOW, A FREE MEAL.

AT LEAST RANCH LIFE AND BEAR PROTECTION

WILL KEEP YOU YOUNG.

IT WILL. IT KEEPS YOU FIT.

WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GET RID OF EVERY REASON

THAT THE BEARS HAVE TO COME HERE.

BASICALLY, WE NEED TO BUILD SOMETHING.

WE NEED SOMEWHERE TO GET THE FOOD SAFE,

BUT UNTIL THEN, WE JUST NEED TO MOVE IT UP HIGHER

SO THE BEARS CAN'T GET IT.

IT'S THE SAME THING WE DO WITH MEAT BACK HOME.

YOU KNOW, THESE BEARS CAN CLIMB, BUT THEY CAN'T OPEN DOORS,

LUCKILY, SO WE'RE GONNA JUST PUT IT HIGHER UP IN THE BARN.

MAYBE THEY'LL JUST MOSEY ON WITH A LITTLE NUDGE.

THAT'S IT, LITTLE TURKEYS.

YOU'LL BE PROTECTED, TOO.

♪♪

WHAT DAY IS IT?

WELL, IT'S OUR ANNIVERSARY.

TODAY IS RHAIN ALISHA'S AND I'S

FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY.

I'VE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING EXTREME.

I HAVE DECIDED TO PURCHASE RHAIN A HORSE.

CAN I LOOK NOW?

NO. I'LL TELL YOU WHEN.

OKAY. GEEZ.

IT'S SOMETHING SHE'S WANTED FOREVER.

STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.

SAY HELLO TO YOUR HORSE.

KNIGHTMARE, SPELLED WITH A "K."

She's so beautiful.

MY WONDERFUL NOAH SURPRISED ME.

I AM SUPER EXCITED.

AND THAT LITTLE GIRL IN THE BACK OF MY MIND

IS JUST, LIKE, SCREAMING AND WITH RAINBOWS,

AND GLITTER IS EVERYWHERE.

AND I AM JUST SO HAPPY THAT I HAVE NOAH.

HI, THERE.

OH, SHE LIKES YOU, NOAH.

GOOD GIRL.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

IT WENT PERFECT.

IT WENT EXACTLY ACCORDING TO PLAN.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT RHAIN DOES NOT LIKE THE HORSE.

I'M PRETTY SURE SHE LOVES THE HORSE.

KNIGHTMARE, THIS IS MAMA.

HEY. MAMA, THIS IS KNIGHTMARE.

OH, MY GOSH. HONEY, SHE'S GORGEOUS.

IT'S REALLY AWESOME THAT THE FAMILY WAS ABLE

TO HELP NOAH OUT EVEN JUST A LITTLE BIT

TO HAVE THIS AWESOME GIFT COME TOGETHER FOR ME.

I FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

THANK YOU.

WOW.

♪♪

GOOD MORNING, LADIES.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WATER AND EVERYTHING IN JUST A MINUTE.

LET ME COLLECT THE EGGS FIRST.

OVER THE COMING WEEK,

GROWTH ON THE BROWNS' FARM CONTINUES TO FLOURISH.

I KNOW. YOU'RE A BIG BOY.

YOU'RE LIVING ON YOUR OWN,

LOT OF WIVES. YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT.

BUT FOR BROTHER BAM,

PROGRESS HAS BEEN SLOWER THAN PLANNED.

REALLY? YOU DON'T KNOCK? YOU JUST WALK RIGHT IN?

SHOULD I HAVE KNOCKED?

YES, THAT'S ALWAYS POLITE.

NOAH IS COOL TO SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH EVERY NOW AND THEN.

HE'S DEFINITELY GROWN UP A LITTLE BIT

THE LAST YEAR OR SO.

NOAH AND I, WE ARE THE SAME

IN THE FACT THAT WE LIKE TO DO THINGS

THE WAY WE KNOW IT SHOULD BE DONE,

AND WE LIKE TO DO THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

HOW'S IT COMING? HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE SO FAR?

WELL, I'M STILL IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING DOWN TREES.

WHERE'S GABE? WELL, I ACTUALLY LOST GABEY.

HE CAME UP. HE HELPED. HE CUT TREES DOWN.

HE HUNG A TREE UP, AND THEN HE TOOK OFF.

SO NOW I'M WORKING SOLO.

WELL, LET'S FACE IT.

YOU'RE NOT THE, UH, EASIEST PERSON TO GET ALONG WITH.

WELL, I MEAN, THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY ACCURATE.

I'M THE EASIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO GET ALONG WITH

AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, AN IDIOT.

BAM HAS A LOT OF WORK THAT HE'S TRYING TO DO,

AND I KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE THAT WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ALONE,

IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET THINGS DONE.

ONE OF BAM'S MAIN PROBLEMS

IS THAT HE'S KIND OF A GRUFF PERSON, YOU COULD SAY.

AND NOT EVERYONE REALLY UNDERSTANDS IT,

BUT HE ALWAYS MEANS HIS BEST.

IT'S JUST THAT I DON'T LIKE TO GO BACK AND REDO THINGS.

I KNOW. YOU AND I ARE VERY SIMILAR

IN THE FACT THAT WE WANT EVERYTHING DONE PERFECT.

BUT SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER NOT TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS

AND WORRY ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON'S FEELINGS INSTEAD.

BUT, DUDE, LIKE YOU'RE SOME KIND OF PEACH?

I'M JUST TELLING YOU, IF YOU'RE NICER,

PEOPLE WILL HELP YOU MORE.

IT'S ABOUT THE FAMILY YOU'RE WORKING WITH.

IT'S NOT ABOUT DOING THE JOB PERFECTLY.

IT'S ABOUT ENJOYING WHILE YOU'RE DOING IT

AND BEING ABLE TO BUILD THOSE EXPERIENCES

AND MEMORIES WITH PEOPLE,

THINGS THAT YOU'LL CHERISH FOREVER.

I CAN DEFINITELY ADMIT THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TIMES

I'M NOT THE EASIEST PERSON TO WORK WITH.

NO, I REALLY DO LIKE WORKING ALONE.

I JUST ENJOY IT.

BUT WHEN YOU TAKE SUCH AN UNDERTAKING,

THE HOUSE WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD,

IT REALLY SHOWS JUST HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES

WHEN YOU DO IT WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU CAN RELY ON.

AND LIKE WITH GABEY, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE SOMEONE

ON WHOM I CAN THOROUGHLY RELY,

AND IT REALLY SHOWS YOU JUST WHAT THE WOLF PACK MEANS.

I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE HIS HELP, 'CAUSE THINGS MOVE A LOT FASTER

WHEN I HAVE THE OX WORKING WITH ME.

♪♪

He's smelling.

Right now, he's curious.

He's alert.

DOWN BY THE BARN,

THE ROGUE BEAR HAS RETURNED YET AGAIN

LOOKING FOR A NEW FOOD SOURCE AND READY FOR A STANDOFF.

Bears never seem vicious.

9 times out of 10, they just meander in.

A goat startles. It'll run or something,

and that predator instinct will kick in,

and he'll maul one of our little baby goats.

Are you looking at the same bear I'm looking at?

I'M LOOKING AT THIS LITTLE BEAR, AND HE'S JUST A LITTLE THING.

I FEEL BAD SCARING IT AWAY.

Maybe it's time to one-up it.

Maybe we should give him a warning shot.

I don't know.

I KNOW GABE PROBABLY THINKS IT'S SILLY

THAT I DON'T WANT TO FIRE A WARNING SHOT,

BUT I'VE GROWN UP WITH BEARS.

ON THE BEACH, IS THERE A BEAR?

- YEAH. - IT'S THERE.

SHE'S A PRETTY GOOD SIZE, GUYS.

OF COURSE I KNOW THEY'RE DANGEROUS, BUT I LOVE THE BEARS.

WE'RE FRIENDS WITH THEM STILL.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS THEIR LAND AS MUCH AS IT IS OUR LAND.

AND THIS IS A YOUNG BEAR, AND HE'S HANGING AROUND THE BARN

BECAUSE HE FEELS SAFE AROUND IT,

AND SO THAT MAKES ME RELUCTANT

TO WANT TO SCARE HIM AWAY.

BUT THEN I'M LOOKING AT MY GOATS,

AND THEY'RE LITERALLY, LIKE, AGAINST THE FENCE BEING SCARED.

SCARING AWAY A LITTLE BEAR

TO PROTECT, YOU KNOW, OUR ANIMALS,

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY EASY,

BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE DONE,

BECAUSE THIS IS THE LIFE WE WANT.

AND TO LIVE FREE, THAT'S THE DREAM,

AND IT'S WORTH IT.

I THINK HE'S GONE.

LET'S JUST HOPE HE STAYS GONE.

HI, BAMBI.

A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, WE HAD TO BAND BAMBI

BECAUSE HE WAS GETTING ALL THE GOATS PREGNANT.

AFTER A LITTLE WHILE,

THE BANDED PARTS JUST FALL OFF.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT NOT BE A BOY ANYMORE.

- OH, THEY DROPPED? - THEY ARE NOT THERE.

DID Y'ALL HAPPEN TO SEE, LIKE, BAMBI,

WHERE HE BECAME -- WHERE HE, LIKE, WAS

WHEN HE BECAME WHAT HE IS NOW?

♪♪

WAIT. THIS LOOKS FUZZY.

WHY IS IT HARD?

I DON'T KNOW. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT?

I DON'T WANT IT.

I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

IT MARKS OFFICIAL RANCH LIFE.

I'M NOT MARKING THE OFFICIAL-NESS

OF MY RANCH LIFE WITH GOAT TESTICLES.

FOR SOME REASON, ALL THE WEIRDNESS HAPPENS

IN THE GOAT PEN.

YO, I'M DONE.

IF YOU WANT TO GET THIS ONE DRUG OUT,

I THINK IT'S AT A GOOD PLACE.

DRAGGED OUT.

WHAT'S THAT? "DRAGGED."

WHAT? "DRAGGED."

WE'RE NOT DRUGGING IT. WE'RE DRAGGING IT.

IT'S SUMMER ON THE BROWNS' MOUNTAIN HOMESTEAD,

AND SECOND-ELDEST BROTHER BAM

IS GATHERING THE LUMBER HE NEEDS TO BUILD HIS DREAM HOME.

NOT TOO FAR. DON'T KILL YOURSELF.

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.

BUT AFTER BOUTS OF LOSING HIS TEMPER

AND CHOOSING TO WORK ALONE,

BAM'S ONCE AGAIN ASKED HIS YOUNGER BROTHER GABE

TO HELP HIM MEET HIS DEADLINE.

IT'S DEFINITELY A LITTLE BIT FASTER, A LITTLE BIT EASIER,

WAY MORE EFFICIENT WITH YOU ON THE JOB WITH ME, MAN.

YEAH, I'M JUST SORRY I'M NOT UP HERE MORE OFTEN.

I KNOW YOU TRY TO DO A LOT, YOU KNOW?

ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY. NO.

IT WASN'T BUILT BY ONE GUY, EITHER.

I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO BE A BETTER PERSON TODAY

THAN I WAS YESTERDAY.

IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.

SOMETIMES, YOU FALL OFF EVERY NOW AND THEN,

BUT I THINK I'M JUST TAKING IT LIGHTER THESE DAYS,

YOU KNOW, JUST TRYING TO BE LIGHTER ABOUT THINGS.

ALRIGHT, CUT AWAY.

YOU KNOW, I DEFINITELY LEARNED IT'S ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT

TO DO STUFF WITH THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY MIGHT SLOW YOU DOWN A LITTLE BIT

OR GET ON YOUR NERVES SOMETIMES.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M LIVING IN A PALACE MADE OF GOLD

IF I'M IN THERE ALL ALONE.

IT'S ABOUT FAMILY.

WE'VE ONLY HAD A COUPLE PLACES THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES

THAT WE WERE GOING TO STOP AND MAKE A HOME OUT OF IT,

AND HERE IS DEFINITELY SOMEWHERE WHERE WE ALL THINK

THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT DREAM HOME.

BREAK HER LOOSE. THAT'S ANOTHER ONE FOR THE STACK.

ALRIGHTY.

NO MATTER HOW THE JOB GETS DONE,

IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER AT THE END OF THE DAY

THAT THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE

AND THE PEOPLE THAT YOU WORK WITH.

BAM AND I ARE STILL BROTHERS,

ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE.

WE'RE THE WOLF PACK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? I THINK THAT'S A PERFECT BEAM

IS WHAT I THINK. LOOK AT THAT. YEAH. I AGREE.

IT'S PERFECTLY STRAIGHT.

IT'S THE PERFECT SIZE.

YOU CUT THE PERFECT LENGTH.

MWAH. MAGNIFIQUE.
