NEXT STOP, NORTH STAR RANCH.

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

HI, COW! I'M MAKING A FLAG POLE.

...THE FAMILY PREPARES FOR FIRE SEASON.

IT WORKED!

LAST NIGHT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE ONLY STORM.

MAKE IT HAPPEN! WATCH THE FLYING, NOAH.

BUT WHEN A FREAK LIGHTNING STORM STRIKES THEIR MOUNTAIN...

JUST GO.

...THE CLAN IS CALLED TO ACTION TO SAVE THEIR ANIMALS.

I THINK WE SHOULD GET AS MANY PEOPLE

AND AS MANY ANIMALS OFF THE MOUNTAIN AS WE CAN.

AND THE FUTURE OF THE RANCH...

THAT'S THAT ALARM GOING OFF.

- COME ON, GUYS. LET'S MOVE IT. - EVERYBODY STAY CALM. IT'S OKAY.

THERE'S FIRE COMING IN ON OUR BACK.

THIS IS ONE OF MY OBSTACLE COURSES.

IT LOOKS EXTREME.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING FOR.

IT GOES DOWN THIS TRAIL THIS WAY.

ANY POINTERS YOU'D HAVE, ANY EXTREME THINGS YOU CAN THINK OF

OR ANYTHING TO MAKE AN OBSTACLE COURSE HARDER,

I'M ALL EARS. JUST LET ME KNOW.

OH, YEAH. SPIKES, SWINGING ROPES.

YES, I LIKE IT. AND THIS ONE, IT'S LIKE --

RAIVEN AND I HAVE BEEN GETTING ALONG REALLY WELL.

I DIDN'T REALLY EXPECT THINGS TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS THEY DID.

WE JUST REALLY HIT IT OFF.

IF I MOVE IT ALL, IT'S GOING TO SLIDE DOWN.

BUT THE GOAL IS TO GO OVER THE TOP.

ONE OF THE FIRST CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAD

WAS ACTUALLY ABOUT JALAPEÑO PEPPERS.

THOSE ARE ACTUALLY A REALLY EXTREME FOOD.

I GUESS IT TAKES ONE EXTREME TO KNOW ANOTHER.

- OKAY. - BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO GO OVER.

THERE YOU GO. YEAH. WOW.

AND WHY DON'T I WANT TO GO OVER IT?

- DON'T DO IT. - READY?

READY.

OKAY. DOES THAT COUNT AS DOING IT?

- YEAH, THAT COUNTS. YOU DID IT. - THERE WE GO.

I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS WAY BEFORE IN MY LIFE. NEVER.

I'VE NEVER MET A GIRL THAT I LIKED AS MUCH AS RAIVEN.

I DON'T KNOW. JUST SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT HER, I GUESS.

YOU WERE SO IMPRESSIVE ON THAT THING.

THANK YOU. YEAH. THE WAY YOU JUST

RAN UP THAT, AND YOU WENT OVER THE SIDE, TOO.

I LIKE.

♪♪

THIS IS FAR AWAY.

IF YOU CAN'T CARRY THE GOATS THAT FAR,

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.

I DON'T HAVE TO CARRY THEM OFF THE MOUNTAIN.

I MEAN, WHAT IF THE CAR BREAKS DOWN?

IF THE CAR BREAKS DOWN, THEY CAN WALK OFF THE MOUNTAIN.

IT'S THE PEAK OF SUMMER

ON THE BROWNS' WASHINGTON MOUNTAIN,

AND THE REGION'S FIRE SEASON IS ONLY WEEKS AWAY

AND ALTHOUGH THEIR RANCH GOT BY UNSCATHED LAST YEAR,

THE FAMILY HAS WITNESSED FIRSTHAND

THE DAMAGE WILDFIRES CAN CAUSE.

LAST YEAR, WE REALLY HAD NO IDEA ABOUT FIRE SEASON.

WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW SERIOUS IT WAS GOING TO BE.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN IT WAS.

- THIS WHOLE THING BURNED. - OH, MAN.

IT SOUNDED LIKE A TORNADO.

THERE WAS, LIKE, A FIRE THAT WAY AND THAT WAY.

WE HAVE TO CLEAR IT.

BUT THIS YEAR, WE KNOW AROUND WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE,

AND WE KNOW HOW SERIOUS IT IS.

SO WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO PREPARE.

COME ON, GUYS.

WE CAN'T BE CHASING YOU ALL IF THERE'S A FIRE.

COME ON.

IF A FIRE DOES COME, WE'RE JUST THINKING THE PLAN,

'CAUSE WE HAVE THE S.U.V.,

AND WE'RE THINKING JUST PUT AS MANY OF THE SMALLER ANIMALS

AS WE CAN, LIKE SOME OF THE CHICKENS,

THE TURKEYS, GOATS THAT WE CAN FIT IN IT.

AND WHATEVER ANIMALS DON'T FIT IN IT,

LIKE THE LARGER ONES, JUST LET THEM LOOSE

'CAUSE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ESCAPE THE FIRE,

AND THERE'LL BE SAFE, AND THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

THIS IS A FIRE DRILL.

GET IN THE CAR. GOOD BOY.

YOU'LL BE FINE. YOU'LL BE FINE. YOU'LL BE FINE. IN THE CAR.

ALRIGHT, EVERYBODY! LET'S GO ON A ROAD TRIP.

SWEETHEART, GET BACK! YOU CANNOT SIT IN MY LAP.

HANDS AND LEGS IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES.

SIT YOUR BUTTS DOWN, EVERYBODY.

DID EVERYBODY USE THE BATHROOM BEFORE WE LEFT?

SO, GUYS, THIS IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WAS A FIRE.

IT'S OKAY. WE'RE ALL GOING TO MAKE IT SAFE.

WE JUST WANT TO BE PREPARED.

WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET YOU ALL OUT.

THE S.U.V. IS NOT A GOOD EVACUATION VEHICLE.

THERE'S NO SPACE TO DRIVE.

BUNNIES ARE AT MY FEET. THE TURKEYS ARE EATING MY ARMS.

I THINK THIS BUNNY HAS BEEN PEEING ON ME FOR A WHILE.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE.

THIS JUST ISN'T WORKING.

KIND OF SUCKS BECAUSE FIRE SEASON IS SNEAKING UP ON US.

SO IT IS DISCONCERTING.

IF THE ANIMALS CAN'T BE EVACUATED OFF THE MOUNTAIN,

WE LOSE THE RANCH.

I THINK I NEED A BIGGER CAR.

♪♪

OH, I CANNOT BELIEVE THE TIME HAS COME.

IT'S SO CLOSE TO AN END.

IT DID.

I ACTUALLY HAD SOMETHING I WANTED TO GIVE YOU.

A LONG, LONG TIME AGO,

MY DAD ACTUALLY FOUND A HEART-SHAPED ROCK,

AND HE GOT IT AND GAVE IT TO MOM.

I COULDN'T ACTUALLY FIND A HEART SHAPED ROCK.

SO INSTEAD, IT'S A COMBINATION OF TWO ROCKS.

I WAS THINKING THAT, YOU COULD HAVE HALF OF IT

AND I'LL TAKE THE OTHER HALF.

THAT'S CUTE. YEAH? YOU LIKE?

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

IT'S COMING CLOSER TO THE TIME FOR RAIVEN TO GO HOME.

BUT I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT HER TO GO HOME.

I JUST THINK IT'S THE RIGHT TIME

TO ASK HER TO JUST STAY A LITTLE LONGER.

BUT RAIVEN IS SO HARD TO READ.

I DON'T WANT TO MESS ANYTHING UP WITH HER.

MAN, I KNEW YOU WERE AWESOME AND ALL.

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE A BILLION TIMES MORE AWESOME

THAN I EVEN THOUGHT, THOUGH. THANK YOU.

YOU ARE. I TRY.

I WANT YOU TO STAY. I REALLY DO, ACTUALLY,

STAY MAYBE A LITTLE LONGER.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU.

THERE'S A REALLY COOL VIEW.

♪♪

YEAH. MAYBE? YEAH?

NO, BUT REALLY? YEAH, DEFINITELY.

WOULD YOU WANT TO? YEAH. NO, I'M --

I'M BEING SERIOUS. YOU'RE BEING SARCASTIC, MAN.

I AM -- NO, I'M BEING SERIOUS, THOUGH.

I'D LOVE TO STAY.

I ALWAYS TRY NEVER TO STARE INTO THAT CRYSTAL BALL.

SO I WON'T STARE TOO HARD.

BUT AT THE MOMENT, THERE'S JUST NO TELLING

WHAT THE FUTURE MAY HOLD FOR RAIVEN AND I.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME WITH HER AS POSSIBLE.

CALL ME CRAZY, BUT I THINK I'M IN LOVE.

IT'S LIKE TIME JUST FLEW. I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE YOU GO YET.

FUN THINGS GO BY FAST.

♪♪

I'M GETTING ANXIOUS.

I AM, TOO.

YOU KNOW, I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN FEELING GREAT LATELY.

I'VE BEEN FEELING DOWNRIGHT BAD, TO BE HONEST.

AND IT'S HARD TO GET ME TO GO AND GET A CHECKUP,

BUT THAT'S HOW BAD I'VE BEEN FEELING.

I'M FINALLY GOING TO LISTEN TO AMI,

AND I'M JUST GOING TO RUN AND GET A CHECKUP

TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

ARE YOU ALRIGHT? HE'S NOT DOING GOOD.

LAST WINTER, BILLY'S HEALTH TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORSE

AS HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A SEVERE CASE OF PNEUMONIA.

DON'T GIVE UP ON ME, GUYS.

NEVER.

AND SINCE HE'S RETURNED TO THE MOUNTAIN,

THE BROWN PATRIARCH HAS STRUGGLED TO STAY HEALTHY.

♪♪

I HATE LEAVING THE MOUNTAIN. I JUST FLAT DON'T WANT TO GO.

AND TO COMPLICATE THAT, FIRE SEASON'S COMING.

BUT FIRE SEASON HERE CAN GO

LIKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR THREE MONTHS.

AND I'M KIND OF LEERY ABOUT WAITING THAT LONG

TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON

JUST IN CASE IT IS SOMETHING THEY CAN GET ON AND FIX.

I'M TRYING TO BE PRACTICAL THIS TIME

AND JUST GO ON IN AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

♪♪

GOT THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS GOING ON HERE.

I'M LAYING DOWN AND GETTING THE JOB DONE.

GOING UP.

BACK ON THE MOUNTAIN,

WITH FIRE SEASON RAPIDLY APPROACHING,

GABE USES SOME DOWNTIME

TO COMPLETE MUCH-NEEDED MAINTENANCE

ON THE FAMILY'S VERY OWN BUSH FIRE TRUCK.

ESPECIALLY THE TIME OF YEAR THAT WE'RE ENTERING,

THIS THING IS INVALUABLE.

WE'RE HOPING A FIRE DOESN'T COME TO OUR PROPERTY.

BUT IF IT DOES, THIS IS ALL THAT'S GOING TO STAND

IN THE WAY OF IT AND THE LIVESTOCK.

SO THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

VERY CRUCIAL THAT WE GET IT UP AND RUNNING AGAIN.

I TRY TO BE AS HELPFUL AS I CAN. I ALWAYS KIND OF HAVE BEEN.

BUT NOW I DEFINITELY FIND MYSELF

KIND OF STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE A LITTLE MORE NOWADAYS.

NOW THAT I'M A MARRIED MAN,

I FIND MYSELF TAKING CHARGE A LITTLE BIT MORE.

ONE DOWN, ONE TO GO.

WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT RAQUELL WAS PREGNANT, ALL OF A SUDDEN,

I STARTED THINKING ABOUT THINGS I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT BEFORE,

LIKE STARTING MY OWN PROJECTS

AND TRYING TO THINK AHEAD.

PETER PAN WOULD BE ASHAMED OF ME.

BUT I FIND MYSELF GROWING UP A LITTLE BIT.

READY TO ROLL.

♪♪

BEAR, YOU HERE?

YEAH, JOE.

WELCOME TO MY DOMAIN.

GOT THE CUTTING THING, EH?

YES.

WHILE HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND, RAIVEN,

TEMPORARILY HEADS BACK TO TOWN,

BEAR SUMMONS BROTHER NOAH TO HIS CONEX

HOPING HE COULD LEND A HAND IN A HOME RENOVATION

BEFORE SHE RETURNS FOR HER EXTENDED STAY.

KIND OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

BUT I'LL SHOW YOU THE ACTUAL WINDOW

THAT I'M PLANNING ON USING

AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU THINK.

♪♪

LIVING SOMEWHERE AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE MOUNTAIN THAT WE HAVE

AS NORTH STAR RANCH

AND BEING WHERE MY CONEX IS, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL VIEW.

THIS IS IT, MY LOVELY WINDOW. THAT'S A DOOR.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO GIVE RAIVEN

IS WHERE INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT A METAL WALL,

SHE CAN LOOK OUTSIDE

AT THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW THAT WE HAVE AROUND US.

THESE ARE FOR YOU SO YOU CAN WATCH.

CUTE. HOW THICK IS THIS?

DOUBLE THICK. OH.

THERE ARE TWO LAYERS ON IT. TWO LAYERS.

LET'S GET CUTTING, NOAH.

I'M REALLY GLAD THAT BEAR HAS DECIDED

TO KIND OF FIX UP HIS CONEX.

BEAR IS BASICALLY LIVING IN A GIGANTIC OVEN.

IF HE'S GOING TO HAVE COMPANY IN THERE,

HE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S VENTILATION.

YOU'RE ALMOST THROUGH!

OH, YEAH.

TO BE HONEST, I'D WAY PREFER

TO CUT THIS CONEX FROM THE OUTSIDE.

BUT THE SPARKS AND THE SLAG WOULD BE A PROBLEM

AND START A FOREST FIRE.

LUCKILY, WE HAVE SEVERAL FIRE EXTINGUISHERS ON STANDBY

AND A COUPLE BUCKETS OF WATER.

AND IT TURNS OUT THAT MOST OF THIS IS GRAVEL UP HERE.

SO DON'T REALLY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

IT'S GOING. IT'S GOING.

FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET!

HEY, BIRD!

BIRD!

YO, WHAT IS IT?

LIGHTNING'S STRIKING ALL OVER PALMER MOUNTAIN.

OKAY, I HAVE TO GO GET MY CATS.

LET YOUR CATS OUT, AND LET'S GO.

UPON HEARING THAT THERE WAS A LIGHTNING STORM COMING,

I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT IMMEDIATELY,

THE FIRST THING THROUGH MY HEAD IS EVERYTHING BAD.

THOUGH FIRE SEASON IS STILL WEEKS AWAY,

THE FREAK LIGHTNING STORM TAKES THE FAMILY BY SURPRISE.

WITH BILLY, AMI, AND BAM ALL DOWN MOUNTAIN,

THE SIBLINGS ARE LEFT SCRAMBLING.

IT'S DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY

THAT THE LIGHTNING COULD START A WILDFIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN.

THE PLAN IS NOT IN PLACE.

JUST, NOTHING IS READY TO EVACUATE RIGHT NOW.

WHERE'S BEAR?

♪♪

THE BROWNS ARE LEFT WITH A CHOICE --

RELEASE THEIR ANIMALS TO THE WILD

AND HOPE THEY CAN BE GATHERED THE FOLLOWING DAY,

OR PRAY FOR THE BEST.

I JUST KNOW DAD'D BE THINKING, "GET EVERYONE SAFE."

BUT WE FOUGHT SO HARD FOR THIS MOUNTAIN,

FOR EVERYTHING UP HERE.

IT'S HARD TO WALK AWAY FROM IT AND REALIZE

THAT IT COULD BE ALL REDUCED ASHES IN A MATTER OF A DAY.

GUYS, WE NEED TO GO.

JUST GO.

♪♪

WHOA.

LIGHTNING'S STRIKING ALL OVER PALMER MOUNTAIN.

LET YOUR CATS OUT, AND LET'S GO.

WITH FIRE SEASON STILL OFFICIALLY WEEKS AWAY,

AN UNEXPECTED LIGHTNING STORM HAS HIT THE MOUNTAIN.

WITH A HISTORY OF LIGHTNING STRIKES AND SUBSEQUENT FIRES,

THE BROWNS' MOUNTAIN IS IN DANGER,

AND THE FAMILY IS ORDERED TO FIND SAFE GROUND.

WHAT ARE WE DOING? ARE WE EVACUATING?

WITH BILLY, AMI, AND BROTHER BAM ALREADY DOWN MOUNTAIN...

GUYS, WE NEED TO GO.

...THE FAMILY IS FORCED TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE DECISION

TO EVACUATE,

HOPING THE LIGHTNING STRIKES SPARE THEIR HOMESTEAD.

♪♪

THE NEXT MORNING,

WITH FATHER BILLY STILL TOWNS AWAY AT A CLINIC,

THE FAMILY HEADS BACK UP MOUNTAIN HOPING FOR THE BEST.

THE THOUGHT OF GOING BACK UP THERE

AND THEN JUST SEEING EVERYTHING THAT WE DID JUST GONE

IS PRETTY DEVASTATING.

THERE'S SO MUCH FEAR AND WORRY THAT GOES INTO THAT.

-WORRYING ABOUT THE ANIMALS, THINKING THE WORST,

YOU KNOW, HOPING FOR THE BEST,

BUT SOMETIMES ACTS OF GOD,

MOTHER NATURE CAN BE CRUEL.

COMING BACK, I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO KIND OF COME BACK

TO ASHES AND NO ANIMALS.

THAT HAD ACTUALLY CROSSED MY MIND.

♪♪

WAS IT SCARY LAST NIGHT, GUYS?

WHEN EVACUATING THE MOUNTAIN, WE MADE THE CALL

TO NOT RELEASE THE ANIMALS YET,

'CAUSE THERE WASN'T ANY DEFINITIVE FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN,

AND SO WE HELD OFF,

AND IT TURNS OUT THAT WAS THE RIGHT CALL.

EVERYONE'S SAFE, AND LUCKILY THIS TIME, NOTHING HAPPENED.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE TRIED TO ESCAPE AT ALL.

OH, HI, CLYDE. ARE YOU STILL FREAKED OUT A LITTLE?

THE RELIEF OF WHEN WE SAW THAT THE MOUNTAIN WAS OKAY --

INDESCRIBABLE.

OH, SCI-FI, I WAS SO WORRIED.

COME HERE, BABY.

I FEEL LIKE THE STORM WAS DEFINITELY A WAKE-UP CALL.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE,

'CAUSE I AM NOT LEAVING THE ANIMALS AGAIN.

EITHER THEY COME WITH ME, OR WE ALL STAY.

♪♪

ONE LIKE LAST NIGHT, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE ONLY STORM.

THEY'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP COMING.

IN A WORST-CASE SCENARIO,

I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE AN EVACUATION PLAN.

GETTING A CELLPHONE, CALLING EVERYONE UP, AND BEING LIKE,

"HEY, THERE'S A FIRE," ISN'T REALLY AN OPTION,

'CAUSE ON THE MOUNTAIN, WE DON'T HAVE SIGNAL.

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO PUT A MASTER PLAN IN PLACE

IN CASE OF EVACUATION,

BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S SERIOUS.

IF WE COULD SPOT SOMETHING EARLY ENOUGH...

EXACTLY. ...THEN WE'D HAVE ENOUGH TIME

TO BE ABLE TO GET AT LEAST ALL THE LIVESTOCK OFF.

IF WE HAD, FOR INSTANCE, LIKE, FLAGS OR SOMETHING

THAT YOU COULD JUST, LIKE, PUT UP --

I WAS GONNA SAY, THAT'S NOT BAD. WHAT IF WE GOT, LIKE,

A SIREN, LIKE, A SUPER-LOUD

AIR RAID SIREN?

I DON'T KNOW. GROWING UP, WE'VE HAD TO OVERCOME A LOT OF THINGS,

BECAUSE OUR BOAT SUNK OR THE HOUSE BURNED.

WE'RE VERY USED TO JUST PACKING UP AND STARTING OVER AGAIN,

AND WE WOULD AGAIN IF WE HAD TO, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO.

ALL THOSE ANIMALS ARE DEPENDENT ON US.

AND IF WE GET CAUGHT IN A FIRE, THERE'S NO WAY RIGHT NOW

WE'D BE ABLE TO GET THEM ALL OUT.

THAT'S THE MAIN THING.

HORSES, THE BULLS, ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS LET THEM LOOSE.

A LOT OF THEM, LIKE THE GOATS, CHICKENS, RABBITS,

WE NEED SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PUT THEM IN

AND THEN LEAVE.

IF WE LOST THE ANIMALS AND THE BARN,

WE'D HAVE TO START LITERALLY OVER.

AND SO IT'S JUST IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE

TO SAVE SOME PIECE OF THE RANCH IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.

THE WOLF PACK BEGINS A THREE-PART PLAN

TO DEFEND THEIR RANCH.

FIRST, ESTABLISHING A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH FLAGS.

THEN INSTALLING EMERGENCY WARNING SIRENS,

AND FINALLY, AN EVACUATION STRATEGY

FOR THE ANIMALS AND FAMILY.

AFTER I PUT THIS RED "X" ON IT HERE,

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I'M GOING FOR.

THE OTHER GUYS ALREADY HAVE MADE ALL THEIR FLAGS AND STUFF,

BUT THEY'RE STILL GROUNDED.

THE SIBLINGS WILL BUILD A COUNTERBALANCE SYSTEM

FOR THEIR FLAG USING STRINGS

THAT WILL BE STRETCHED TO EACH INDIVIDUAL HOME SITE.

THIS SHOULD DO THE TRICK.

I'M EYEING THAT TREE FIRST.

THEY GET PRETTY FLIMSY AT THE TOP,

BUT IT SHOULD BE GOOD.

EVERYBODY HAS A FLAG PUT OUT TO THE HIGHEST AREAS.

IF THERE'S A FLAG UP, YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR EYE OUT

FOR LIGHTNING. IT'S A WARNING.

I CAN TOTALLY SEE THE VALLEY,

SEE BIRD'S PLACE JUST OVER HERE.

MY PLAN IS I'M JUST GOING TO START FROM THE TOP

AND START LIMBING IT AS I WORK MY WAY DOWN,

SO I GET A SLICK FLAGPOLE.

THE FLAG SYSTEM THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN PLACE,

IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE.

I'M GOING TO JUST HAVE A STRING GO INTO MY HOUSE,

AND WHEN I CUT THAT, IT'LL SHOOT THE FLAG UP,

AND THEN EVERYBODY WILL KNOW THERE'S A STORM COMING.

WE'RE AS WELL GOING TO HAVE ALARM SYSTEMS.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, WE'LL SOUND THE ALARM.

THAT WAY, WE KNOW EVERYONE GOES TO THE BARN,

AND WE MEET THERE AND GET READY TO EVACUATE.

SEE, JUST TIE IT A LITTLE BIT OVER HERE.

OKAY, WITH A LITTLE WIND, THAT SHOULD DO IT.

WHILE THE REST OF HIS SIBLINGS MAKE PROGRESS

ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL FLAG SYSTEMS,

BROTHER GABE IS EAGER TO PROVE HE'S CAPABLE OF FINISHING HIS

WITHOUT THE HELP OF HIS SIBLINGS.

WE'RE GOING TO TURN THIS TREE INTO A FLAGPOLE,

'CAUSE YOU CAN SEE THIS AREA

FROM ALMOST EVERYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY,

SO IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO PUT IT UP HERE.

WE'RE UP BY THE OSTRICH PEN,

WHICH OVERLOOKS THE BARN AT BEAR'S PLACE.

SO IT'S VERY CENTRAL.

SO, I NEED TO GET THIS THING LIMBED UP

SO THAT WE CAN RUN A FLAG SMOOTH UP IT.

NORMALLY, I WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE

SOMEONE ELSE HERE HELPING ME,

BUT NOW I NEED TO PROVE I CAN DO THIS BY MYSELF.

I'M LIKE, "NO, GUYS. FIX YOUR FLAGPOLE.

START FIXING THE ALARM. I GOT THIS."

AND THEN I GOT THERE, AND I'M LIKE,

"OH, DANG, I GOT TO DO THAT WHOLE TREE BY MYSELF?"

WELL, JUST TRYING TO GET FAR ENOUGH UP THIS TREE

THAT YOU GOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT FROM ANYWHERE AROUND.

I AM DEFINITELY CHANNELING MY INNER BEAR RIGHT NOW.

GABE HAS NEVER BEEN THE MOST WELL-OILED MACHINE.

HE'S A KLUTZ, AND HE DOES EVERYTHING KIND OF HECTIC.

OH, I AM NOT AS NIMBLE AS BEAR.

SON OF A BISCUIT.

ANOTHER REASON I'M HOPING WE CAN GET THIS THING UP

SOONER RATHER THAN LATER IS IF I FALL OUT OF HERE,

I'M GOING TO WISH I HAD A WARNING FLAG.

NO, GABEY'S ALWAYS BEEN REALLY DEPENDENT ON THE FAMILY,

'CAUSE HE'S ALWAYS HAD THAT TO FALL BACK ON AND RELY ON.

NOW HE HAS TO REALLY TAKE ON A MORE PROVIDER ROLE.

HE HAS TO BE THE GUY THAT KNOWS WHAT TO DO.

SO I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR HIM.

I SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO RELEASE THE STRING.

ROCK SHOULD COME DOWN. FLAG SHOULD GO UP.

MOMENT OF TRUTH.

♪♪

AW, DON'T BE LIKE THAT.

MY WHOLE FAMILY, MY WHOLE LIFE IS ON THIS MOUNTAIN,

AND IT COULD JUST GO UP IN SMOKE ANY MOMENT,

AND SO WE WANT TO HAVE ALL OF THESE PROTOCOLS SET INTO MOTION.

DANG IT.

THINK I NEED A HEAVIER ROCK.

I'M MARRIED NOW. I HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY.

I WANT THIS PLACE TO BE SAFE.

NOW THE PULLEY'S CAUGHT UP ON IT.

OKAY, SO, DEFINITELY SOME BUGS IN THE SYSTEM.

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.

♪♪

SO, THE OTHER DAY, WE DID AN EVACUATION TEST RUN.

WE ACTUALLY USED THE SUBURBAN.

WE ENDED UP RUNNING ALL AROUND THE BARN AREA,

GATHERING ANIMALS.

WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT I DON'T THINK THE SUBURBAN'S

GOING TO BE ABLE TO WORK AND GET ALL THE ANIMALS OUT.

WITH THE S.U.V., WE CAN'T EVEN FIT THAT MANY ANIMALS IN IT,

MUCH LESS ANIMALS AND PEOPLE,

ESPECIALLY AS MANY AS WE NEED TO GET OFF THE MOUNTAIN.

WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER PLAN.

WE HAVE TO GET A BIGGER VEHICLE,

SOMETHING THAT IF SOMETHING DID HAPPEN,

WE COULD ALL GO INTO THAT VEHICLE,

AND WE COULD ALL SHIP OFF THE MOUNTAIN,

AND NOTHING BAD WOULD HAPPEN TO US.

WELL, WHAT ALL ANIMALS ARE WE TRYING TO SAVE HERE?

I MEAN -- ALL OF THEM, HOPEFULLY.

GROWING UP, WE'VE HAD TO OVERCOME A LOT OF THINGS,

AND WE'VE HAD TO RESTART OUR LIFE A LOT.

PART OF THE PLAN IS TAKING A SELECT FEW OF THE ANIMALS

OFF THE MOUNTAIN WITH US -- THE GOATS, THE CHICKENS,

THE TURKEYS, AND THE RABBITS MOSTLY.

IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO START OVER WITH.

SO YOU'RE THINKING SOME SORT OF LAND ARK.

KIND OF, YEAH.

SO YOU CAME TO NOAH FOR ADVICE ABOUT AN ARK.

MY FAMILY HAS GONE THROUGH A LOT OF TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS

WHERE WE HAVE TO RESTART.

IT'S NOT LIKE MY FAMILY GIVE UP EVER.

SO NOW IT'S DEFINITELY A TOP PRIORITY TO MAKE SURE

THAT WE'VE A PLAN IN PLACE AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE

THAT THE ANIMALS ESCAPE THE MOUNTAIN PROPERLY.

MORE, GUYS.

- MORE. MORE.

-COMING UP...

-I'M GOING TO MAKE ONE GIGANTIC LIGHTNING ROD.

-...THE BROWN SIBLINGS KICK THEIR EVACUATION PLAN INTO FULL GEAR.

IS THAT NOAH?

WHERE DID YOU GET A BUS?

LAST NIGHT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE ONLY STORM.

THEY'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP COMING.

I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE AN EVACUATION PLAN.

ELEVATED AT 4,000 FEET,

THE BROWNS' MOUNTAIN HAS A HISTORY

OF DANGEROUS LIGHTNING STRIKES RESULTING IN FIRES.

AND WITH A GROUP OF RECENT LIGHTNING STORMS

HITTING THEIR RANCH, THE FAMILY IS FIGHTING BACK,

IMPLEMENTING A MULTI-STEP PLAN OF DEFENSE

TO SAVE THEIR HOMESTEAD.

NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS HANG THIS THING UP.

AT THE EARLIEST SIGN OF DANGER,

A SERIES OF WARNING FLAGS

WILL ENSURE THE WOLF PACK REMAINS ON HIGH ALERT.

IF FIRE DOES HIT THE PROPERTY,

SIRENS LOCATED AT EACH SIBLING'S HOME SITE

WILL SIGNAL AN IMMEDIATE EVACUATION.

AND ONCE THE EVACUATION BEGINS,

THE BROWNS WILL LOAD ALL NECESSARY LIVESTOCK

ONTO A TRANSPORTATION VESSEL,

ENSURING THE FAMILY HAS THE ESSENTIALS

TO REBUILD THE RANCH LIFE

THEY HAVE FOUGHT SO HARD TO MAINTAIN.

WE'VE HAD BURNING HOUSES, SINKING BOATS,

AND WE'VE BEEN VERY NOMADIC.

SO WE'RE USED TO STARTING A CAMP,

GETTING SOMETHING GOING, AND THEN MOVING ON DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT WE'VE WORKED REALLY HARD FOR THIS ONE.

THIS ISN'T JUST A FLY BY NIGHT CAMP.

THIS IS A HOMESTEAD.

AND IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS TO THE RANCH,

YEAH, THAT'D BE A BUMMER, BUT WE'D KEEP GOING.

AND WITH THEIR ABILITY TO REBUILD THE DREAM AT STAKE,

BROTHER NOAH HAS PROCURED AN UNCONVENTIONAL CRAFT.

WELL, LITTLE KIDDIES, IT'S NOT DOING TOO BAD SO FAR.

NEXT STOP, NORTH STAR RANCH.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET A LARGER VEHICLE

FOR AN ESCAPE VEHICLE,

BECAUSE WE WANT TO ACTUALLY SAVE ANIMALS,

AND I KNEW I HAD FOUND THAT SOMETHING

AS SOON AS I LAID EYES ON THE BUS.

NOW I JUST NEED TO GET THIS THING TO THE BARN.

ALL ABOARD THE NORTH STAR BUS.

OH, MY GOSH. WHAT IS THAT?

SCHOOL BUS?

IS THAT NOAH?

WHERE DID YOU GET A BUS? OH, MY GOSH.

♪♪

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HOW DID YOU GET THIS?

I THINK -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

I KNEW NOAH WOULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING GOOD.

A BUSH BUS, THAT'S THIS THE IDEAL THING THAT WE NEED,

SO I'M SO RELIEVED.

THIS IS AWESOME.

I FEEL LIKE THE BACK SHOULD BE THE GOATS

SO WE CAN BACK IT UP, RUN THEM IN,

THEN DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO,

AND THE CHICKENS CAN JUST GO UP HERE.

THE THING WITH GOATS, CHICKENS, RABBITS,

TURKEYS, DUCKS, WHATEVER ELSE,

IF ALL WE HAD WERE THE SMALLER ANIMALS,

WE COULD REBUILD OFF OF THAT.

IT'S JUST BIG ENOUGH I THINK TO GET ALMOST EVERYTHING IN HERE.

BUT, I MEAN, IT NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF WORK.

THE BUS IS PERFECT FOR WHAT WE NEED IT FOR.

BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE,

'CAUSE ALL THE ANIMALS HAVE TO FIT IN.

THEY HAVE TO FIT IN COMFORTABLY.

THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GO DOWN MOUNTAIN ON THIS,

SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THE SEATS OUT

SO THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM TO GET EVERYTHING IN.

IF WE LEAVE THE SEATS, WE MIGHT AS WELL BE USING THE S.U.V.

I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD ACTUALLY WORK.

I'M GOING TO GO TELL THE ANIMALS.

♪♪

THERE WE GO. PERFECT.

ONE MORE.

UP BY HIS CONEX CASTLE,

BROTHER BEAR IS CRATING A LIGHTNING ROD

MADE FROM A BED FRAME HELD TOGETHER BY DUCT TAPE.

♪♪

ONCE HE HAS FASTENED A POINT ON ONE END,

HE HOPES SECURING THE ROD AT THE PEAK OF HIS RIDGE

WILL HELP KEEP MOTHER NATURE AT BAY.

A LIGHTNING ROD IS USED TO ATTRACT THE LIGHTNING ITSELF.

IT'S METAL, SO THE LIGHTNING IS DRAWN TO THE METAL.

GOING MORE EXTREME WITH IT

AND GOING TO MAKE ONE GIGANTIC LIGHTNING ROD.

I'VE PERSONALLY NEVER USED A LIGHTNING ROD,

NOT MUCH CALL FOR IT IN ALASKA.

THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S COOL,

AND I'M GLAD I'M IN AN AREA THAT I CAN GET TO PLAY WITH IT,

EVEN THOUGH IT'S REALLY, REALLY DANGEROUS.

ULTIMATELY, THIS WILL ATTRACT THE LIGHTNING

INSTEAD OF A NEARBY SAGE BRUSH OR A TREE,

AND STOP A FOREST FIRE FROM STARTING.

FIRST LIGHTNING ROD I'VE EVER PROFESSIONALLY-ISH MADE,

AND I'M HOPING TO SEE SOME LIGHTNING!

LIGHTNING IS ONE OF THE MOST EXTREME THINGS ON THE EARTH.

THE POWER BEHIND LIGHTNING IS NEAR UNSTOPPABLE.

IT'S SO FAST. IT'S SO POWERFUL.

SO LET'S JUST HOPE THE LIGHTNING ROD'S DOING ITS JOB.

I DUB THIS

EXTREME LIGHTNING ROD HILL,

THE PLACE WHERE THE LIGHTNING GOES!

WE NEED A BRAVE ROCK.

WE NEED A MIGHTY BOULDER.

WE -- OHH!

YES.

AFTER AN UNSUCCESSFUL FIRST ATTEMPT

AT HANGING HIS DANGER FLAG,

GABE RETURNS AND IS READY TO FINISH WHAT HE STARTED.

I'M GOING TO USE A BIGGER ROPE, BIGGER ROCK.

THIS SHOULD DO THE TRICK.

I DEFINITELY THINK IF I COULDN'T GET THIS FLAG UP AND RUNNING,

I WOULD FEEL LIKE A TOTAL FAILURE, A TOTAL HEEL.

I DON'T WANT IT TO BE MY FAULT THAT THIS MOUNTAIN ISN'T SAFE.

SO, YEAH, MY NOSE IS ON THE GRINDSTONE,

JUST WORKING AS HARD AS I CAN.

OKAY. SO FAR, THE PULL IS MUCH SMOOTHER LIKE THIS.

THAT -- OH, YEAH.

USING MY ACQUIRED SKILLS,

MY UNDERSTANDING OF ROPE AND TYING,

QUANTUM PHYSICS EVEN COMES INTO PLAY.

THE WAY THAT WE GREW UP, ALL WORKING TOGETHER,

WHEN I'M SEPARATED FROM MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS,

I DON'T KNOW HALF OF WHAT I THOUGHT I DID.

I'M LIKE, "I USED TO BE SO GOOD AT THIS."

WELL, GABE, YOU HAD ABOUT SIX MORE HANDS HELPING YOU

AND A COUPLE MORE BRAINS.

I HAVE NOW TIED THE ROCK

ONTO THE FLAGPOLE LINE.

OKAY.

IF THIS WORKS, I WOULD JUST TAKE THIS STRING

AND RUN IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BARN.

IF THERE'S DANGER, YOU CUT IT LOOSE, AND THE FLAG SHOULD FLY.

FIRST, I'M GOING TO DO A TEST RUN.

♪♪

YES! FINALLY.

AND NOW EVERYBODY'S GOING TO KNOW, THERE BE DANGER.

I DEFINITELY THINK, 'CAUSE EVERYONE'S SPREAD OUT,

EVERYBODY HAS TO RELY ON THEMSELVES

AS MY LITTLE FAMILY GROWS,

I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO TRY TO PAY MORE ATTENTION

AND BE, LIKE, A ONE-MAN BAND

UNDERGOING CRITICAL MEDICAL TESTS,

IT'S UP TO THE SIBLINGS TO ENACT A PLAN TO SAVE THE RANCH.

WE'RE STARTING TO GET SOME CLOUDS ROLLING IN.

HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ON THE WEATHER?

YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S CALLING FOR?

YEAH. HOT.

I FIGURED THE INSIDE OF THE BUS IS GOING TO BE THE GIRLS' THING.

THE OUTSIDE, THOUGH, I HAVE SOME IDEAS FOR.

IF I CAN RIG UP SOME WATER TANKS AND A SPRINKLER SYSTEM,

I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE IT WHERE AS WE'RE GOING,

THE BUS IS PUTTING OUT FIRES AND OPENING UP EXITS FOR EVERYONE.

WE'RE TAKING THOSE TWO BIG BARRELS,

AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT ONE ON EITHER SIDE.

ONCE THEY'RE ON IT, WE'RE GOING TO GET A MOTOR

AND ATTACH A WATER PUMP ONTO IT.

IT'S GOING TO PUMP WATER FROM THE BARRELS UP,

AND THE SPRINKLERS WILL START SPRAYING WATER OUT THE SIDES.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT I DO MY PART IN TRYING TO MAKE SURE

THAT THE ANIMALS ESCAPE THE MOUNTAIN PROPERLY.

RIGGING UP A SPRINKLER SYSTEM OR A FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM,

IT COULD REALLY SAVE EVERYTHING. IT WILL KEEP THE FIRES AT BAY

FROM THE VEHICLE ENOUGH FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT.

ONCE WE GET HER ALL FIXED UP, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO NAME HER?

UH, I DON'T KNOW.

THE EVACUATOR?

NO, THAT'S STUPID.

FARM HARBORER?

THAT'S JUST WEIRD.

DESTINY ROLLING?

IS IT A BAND'S BUS?

THE MUSTARD STATION?

NO.

THE FIRE FLYER.

IT'S NOT A PLANE. IT DOESN'T FLY.

♪♪

SWIFT VENGEANCE? THE BOMB.

DEAD RECKONING?

WE'RE HOPING THE STUFF IN IT ISN'T DEAD TO RECKON WITH.

SAFE TAKER?

GEEZ, WHAT'S WITH THESE NAMES?

YEAH, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BANK ROBBER.

HOW ABOUT THE NORTH STAR ARK?

NORTH STAR ARK. I LIKE NORTH STAR ARK.

I JUST THREW OUT ENOUGH STUPID NAMES

THAT WE FINALLY CAME UP WITH A GOOD ONE.

THAT'S HOW THEY CAME UP WITH YOUR NAME.

WITH THE BROTHERS HARD AT WORK ON THE EVACUATION ARK,

ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN, SISTER SNOWBIRD PREPARES

TO INSTALL A VITAL PIECE OF THE FIRE WARNING SYSTEM.

RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHERE TO PUT MY SIREN,

'CAUSE I WANT IT CLOSE TO THE HOUSE,

IN CASE IT'S AN EMERGENCY.

I THINK THIS SYSTEM IS PROBABLY THE BEST BET.

IT'S VERY LOUD.

I THINK IT'S ALMOST AS LOUD AS BEAR WHEN HE'S TALKING.

BEAR, TO BE HONEST, WOULD BE THE PERFECT ALARM

IF WE COULD JUST SPLIT HIM UP INTO, LIKE, NINE,

AND THEN HE COULD JUST SCREAM OR EVEN TALK.

I DON'T THINK THE CATS ARE GOING TO LIKE THE SIREN

THAT WE HAVE, TO BE HONEST.

IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY LOUD, ANGRY CAT OR COW.

PRETTY SURE THEY'RE GOING TO HATE IT.

BUT THEY'LL HAVE TO GET USED TO IT, AND EVENTUALLY, THEY WILL.

OKAY, KITTIES, I'M GOING TO DO A LITTLE TEST.

IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY LOUD.

OKAY, GUYS. OKAY, LET'S DO IT.

HERE ON THE MOUNTAIN AND THE RANCH,

WE'RE TAKING THINGS THAT WE USED TO DO,

LIKE THE FLAGS AND THE HOWLING, AND JUST INCREASING IT HERE.

INSTEAD OF HOWLING, WE HAVE THE ALARM SYSTEM.

IT'S OVER.

ISH.

♪♪

SO, I'M KIND OF THINKING

JUST FROM THIS SEAT TO THIS SEAT BACK, GOATS.

YEAH. TURKEYS, PEACOCKS,

CHICKENS, RABBITS. CHICKENS, BUNNIES, PEOPLE.

WITH THE FIRE WARNING SYSTEM COMPLETE,

BIRD TEAMS UP WITH SISTER RAINDROP

TO BEGIN INTERIOR MODIFICATIONS ON NORTH STAR ARK.

RIGHT NOW, NOT KNOWING WHEN THE NEXT STORM IS GOING TO HIT,

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ALL WORK

ON THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE EVACUATION,

AND THAT MEANS RAIN AND I WORKING ON THE BUS.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO EMPTY IT OUT

AND GET IT READY FOR IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN,

A SURPRISE STORM HITS,

WE CAN AT LEAST LOAD THE ANIMALS IN.

I'VE GOTTEN IT A LITTLE BIT.

I'M HAVING TROUBLE ACTUALLY GET IT OUT.

BUT ONCE IT GETS TO A CERTAIN POINT,

IT'S NOT WANTING TO BUDGE ANYMORE.

I'M GOING TO TRY AND JUST PRY IT UP, I THINK.

I FEEL LIKE IN ALASKA,

WE'VE DEFINITELY EXPERIENCED A LOT OF TRAGEDY.

WE'VE LOST A LOT.

WE'VE HAD TO CREATE NEW HOMES. EVERY OTHER MONTH, WE DID THAT.

I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRY AND HOLD IT UNDERNEATH.

IT'S NOT WORKING.

EVEN THOUGH IT CAN BE A LITTLE SCARY

TO KNOW YOU CAN LOSE EVERYTHING IN A BLINK OF AN EYE,

YOU COULD BE HOMELESS, KNOWING THAT WE CAN OVERCOME IT HELPS,

KNOWING THAT IF THAT DID HAPPEN,

WE'VE OVERCOME IT BEFORE. AND AS LONG AS WE'RE A FAMILY,

EVEN IF WE'RE IN A FIELD, THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

I THINK I SEE THE BOLT.

OKAY, I GOT IT.

HOLD ON. LET ME TRY AND FIND A RATCHET.

OH, YEAH. I HAVE NOWHERE TO BE.

MY ENTIRE LIFE HAS BEEN A BATTLE

OF STARTING THINGS OVER AGAIN. THERE'S NEVER BEEN A TIME

WHERE I'VE SAT DOWN, AND I'VE BEEN LIKE,

"OKAY, NOTHING'S GOING TO GO WRONG,"

'CAUSE SOMETHING ALWAYS GOES WRONG.

HOLD ON. THIS IS REALLY DIFFICULT.

I'M UNDER A BUS, SO...

HOLD ON. WE GOT EXCITED. HOLD. HOLD!

NO, NO. HOLD.

ARE YOU GOOD NOW? YEP, GO.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS NOW WHERE IT'S JUST KIND OF ROUTINE.

BEING STRONG AND PERSEVERING IS JUST THE WAY OF LIFE FOR US.

WE'RE GETTING IT. IT'S WORKING, RAIN.

YAY.

NOW WE'RE COOKING WITH GASOLINE.

IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS, FIRE'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.

BUT SO ARE WE.

WITH A MASTER PLAN IN PLACE,

I THINK THAT WE CAN TAKE ON ANYTHING.

THERE WE GO. THAT'S HOW YOU GET A BUS SEAT OUT.

WHOO!

COOL. WE GOT IT, RAIN.

ONE DOWN, ONLY LIKE FIVE OR SO MORE TO GO.

-COMING UP... COME ON, GUYS. LET'S MOVE IT.

WE'D BE CAUGHT BY FIRE BY NOW!

LET'S MOVE IT! ON THE DOUBLE!

...THE BROWNS TAKE THEIR EVACUATION PLAN ON A TRIAL RUN.

EVERYBODY STAY CALM.

-KEEP YOUR HANDS INSIDE THE BUS

UNTIL IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.

OKAY. I KNOW IT'S A BIT OF A WALK

THERE'S MY WINDOW. I JUST GOT THAT GUY IN.

WANT TO CHECK OUT THE OLD INSIDE?

LET'S DO IT.

MOST OF MY STUFF IS MADE PRETTY SIMPLE.

IT'S NOT REALLY MADE FOR TWO.

I MEAN, I DON'T NEED HEAT. I DON'T EVEN NEED A BED.

WELCOME.

BUT WITH RAIVEN BEING AROUND

AND STICKING AROUND A LITTLE BIT LONGER,

I JUST NEED TO MAKE IT SOMETHING THAT RAIVEN WILL LIKE,

YOU KNOW, SHE MIGHT WANT TO STAY IN.

THIS THING HERE, I CALL A BAMMOCK.

I JUST TOOK MY KNIFE. I STABBED IT THROUGH.

I CAN ACTUALLY UNTIE IT

SO I CAN DROP IT TO THE GROUND, RAISE IT UP EVEN HIGHER.

BUT YEAH, IT ROCKS ME TO SLEEP

JUST LIKE I USED TO BE IN A BOAT.

I'M A BIT BARBARIC WHEN IT COMES TO SOME THINGS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU TREAT THEM LIKE A LADY.

AND THE WINDOW IS ACTUALLY A DOOR.

BUT IT HAD A SLIDING GLASS THING TO OPEN AND CLOSE.

SO I JUST EMBEDDED THE WHOLE DOOR IN IT.

YOU LIKE? YOU WANT TO SEE THE --

- YEAH. - CHECK OUT THE VIEW?

OOH. AND A LITTLE BIT OF WIND.

YEAH. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THIS OUT MY WINDOW.

NONE OF THAT. I WISH IT DID.

LET'S DO THIS.

WITH WASHINGTON'S FIRE SEASON APPROACHING,

THE BROWN FAMILY IS SCRAMBLING

TO COMPLETE THEIR AMBITIOUS EVACUATION PLAN.

AND ALTHOUGH FATHER BILLY HAS NOW RETURNED

AWAITING THE RESULTS OF HIS MEDICAL EXAM...

LOVE YOU, BABY GIRL.

ONE THING TO BE BACK, IS IT FEELS UNBELIEVABLY GREAT.

IT REALLY DOES. BUT NOW IT'S UP TO THE GOOD LORD.

THERE'S NOT REALLY ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

...THE KIDS ARE PUSHING FORWARD,

PREPARING TO TEST THEIR FULL-SCALE EVACUATION TONIGHT.

WELL, LET'S SEE IF IT'S GOING TO HOLD WATER.

ALRIGHT. HIT IT.

HOW MUCH DOES THIS HOLD? 55?

YEP. THIS WILL TAKE A BIT.

YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO HOLD IT.

YOU CAN JUST STICK IT IN, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

ARE THE SPRINKLERS GOING TO WORK?

YES, THEY SHOULD.

SO, THE BUS IS OUR TRANSPORT VESSEL,

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL OF OUR ANIMALS IN THERE.

AND, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WE'RE NOT JUST

RUNNING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN WITH FLAMES EVERYWHERE,

NOAH CAME UP WITH A SAFETY SYSTEM TO PROTECT THE BUS.

ITS BASICALLY GOING TO WORK LIKE A FORCE FIELD OF WATER.

WE NEED TO SEE HOW LONG THE TANK'S GOING TO GO.

LET'S REMEMBER TO KEEP IT FULL.

WE DON'T WANT FILL IT UP IN THE CASE OF A FIRE.

VERY TRUE.

SO THERE'S NO WAY WITHOUT RUNNING WATER

THAT THE BUSH BUS IS GOING TO BE VERY PRACTICAL.

I JUST HOPE WHEN WE FINISH THE BUSH BUS,

IT'S GOING TO DO ITS JOB. AND JUST GOING TO FOLLOW ALONG

WITH WHAT HE SAYS 'CAUSE HE HAS THE MASTER PLAN.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS MAKE SURE NOTHING LEAKS.

OKAY. MAKE SURE ALL FOUR FIRE PUMPERS ARE FIRE PUMPING.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT. LET'S FLIP SOME SWITCHES

AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

WE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING BACK HERE.

THIS ONE'S ON.

THIS ONE'S ON.

LET ME CHECK YOUR PORT SIDE.

PORT SIDE'S WORKING!

PORT BOW, PORT STERN, YOU'RE GOOD.

I THINK NOAH'S THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE DESIGN OF THE BUS,

THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM,

HE REALLY THOUGHT THIS ONE THROUGH. AND I THINK HE JUST,

LIKE ALL OF US LAST TIME -- LITTLE SCARY.

AND WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR IT. WE WEREN'T READY.

THIS TIME, NOAH, HE'S GOING TO BE READY.

THEY'RE OPERATIONAL,

AND QUITE A FLOW ON THEM, ALSO.

NICE, BRO.

♪♪

WE'VE DONE A COUPLE TESTS.

BUT NOW THIS IS THE MAIN TEST FOR OUR WARNING SYSTEM.

WE'RE ALL PREPARED, AND I'M GOING TO SOUND THE ALARM

TILL I HEAR BEAR'S, AND THEN WE ALL MEET AT THE BARN.

♪♪

THAT'S THAT ALARM GOING OFF.

I NEED TO SOUND MY ALARM NOW AND GET TO THE BARN.

♪♪

OKAY. I DEFINITELY HEAR BEAR'S.

NOW THAT THE WARNING SYSTEMS HAVE GONE OFF,

AND WE CAN HEAR THEM, WE ALL MEET AT THE BARN.

OKAY. SO, LET'S JUST TRY TO JUST GET THEM INSIDE.

WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO START? I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF FOOD.

I'M GOING TO JUST TRY AND GET THE FOOD IN

AND SEE IF THEY'LL GO. OKAY, EVACUATION ON.

IT'S DEFINITELY ALMOST HEARTBREAKING

TO THINK THAT WE CAN LOSE THE ANIMALS.

I THINK THAT LAST STORM

DEFINITELY WOKE US UP A LITTLE BIT.

SPRINKLE THIS AROUND AND GET THEM TO COME IN.

MAKE THEM HEAR IT. OH, YOU'RE SO HEAVY!

COME ON, GUYS! FOOD!

IN A PILE. IN A PILE.

COME ON, GUYS. LET'S MOVE IT.

WE'D BE CAUGHT BY FIRE BY NOW!

LET'S MOVE IT! ON THE DOUBLE!

COME ON, GUYS! FASTER!

DO WE WANT CHICKENS?

WE NEED THEM ALL.

OKAY.

WE'RE ALMOST FULL HOUSE, GUYS. LET'S DO IT.

THE REST OF THE GOATS.

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE IT OR NOT?

GO, GO, GO.

TIME TO EVACUATE, GUYS. LET'S DO IT.

THAT'S WHY IT'S A TEST, GUYS. THAT'S WHY IT'S A TEST.

THERE ARE DEFINITELY A LOT OF THINGS

THAT COULD GO WRONG IN WASHINGTON,

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THINGS

THAT COULD DESTROY EVERYTHING WE'VE WORKED SO HARD FOR.

KEEP YOUR HANDS INSIDE THE BUS

UNTIL IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.

BUT THAT'S PART OF LIFE.

JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS SCARY OR SOMETHING IS DANGEROUS,

YOU CAN'T CURL UP IN A BALL AND GIVE UP.

YOU GOT TO LOOK IT IN THE EYES

AND SAY THAT "THIS IS MY MOUNTAIN."

OKAY, LET'S DO THIS.

WE'RE EVACUATING. IT'S AN OLD BUS.

ARE THEY SPRINKLING?

AH, THERE THEY GO.

THERE THEY ARE. WHOO!

AIM STEADY, SWEETIE. BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL.

GOING TOO FAST, THERE, GIRL.

IT'S LIVING LIFE THE WAY YOU WANT TO LIVE

AND NOT LETTING ANYTHING STOP YOU.

IT'S NOT AN OPTION TO GIVE UP FOR THE BROWNS.

WE NEVER HAVE, AND WE NEVER WILL,

AND I THINK THAT'S HOW EVERYBODY SHOULD LIVE.

HOW ARE THE ANIMALS HOLDING UP?

ANIMAL SEEM TO BE DOING BETTER THAN YOU.

IT LOOKS LIKE A SUCCESSFUL EVACUATION TO ME.

I'M PROUD OF THE GUYS.

WITHOUT ME BEING AROUND, WITHOUT MOM BEING AROUND,

THEY'RE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SECURE OUR DREAM

AND FIGHT FOR EVERY DAY.

AND IT'S GIVEN ME GREAT CONFIDENCE

TO KNOW THAT IF THE GOOD LORD CALLS ME HOME TOMORROW,

CALLS MOM HOME TOMORROW WITH ME,

WHAT WE STARTED HERE WILL BE MULTI-GENERATIONAL.

NOTHING'S GOING TO STOP IT. IT'S JUST GOING TO GROW.

GOOD JOB, GUYS.

LET'S BUTT HEADS. COME ON, GUYS.

BUTT HEADS! DON'T BUTT HEADS WITH A GOAT.

BOOM. YEAH.

♪♪

BEAR, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

USE THE PIPE!

ON THE SEASON FINALE OF "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE"...

THOSE DEER, THEY'RE WAITING TO MOCK ME.

EXTREME!

...THE BROWNS PUSH TO COMPLETE THE FINAL STAGE

OF THEIR MASSIVE WATER SYSTEM.

WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS. IF NOT, EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE ON IT,

IT'S GOING TO BE FOR NOTHING?

- EVERYBODY GET CLEAR. - STOP.

- IT'S NOT GOING! - STOP!

IT'S NOT STOPPING!

BIRD, STOP!

GUYS!

BUT AS THE WOLF PACK RACES AGAINST THE FREEZE...

ANYBODY FELT THE AIR?

I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE.

...UNEXPECTED NEWS THREATENS THE FAMILY'S FUTURE.

DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA TELL THE GUYS, THOUGH, TO BE HONEST.

JUST TO KIND OF CATCH YOU UP ON WHAT'S GOING ON,

IT'S BEEN KIND OF WEIGHING ON ME. UH...
