THE WORLD WIDE PANDEMIC IS SWEEPING THE NATION

WITH OVER 500 CONFIRMED CASES IN THE FIRST MONTH ALONE.

WASHINGTON STATE HAS BECOME A HOTSPOT OF THE EPIDEMIC.

AS PUBLIC CONCERN GROWS,

OFFICIALS HOPE TO HAVE THE VIRUS CONTAINED BY SUMMER

AS THE STATE LOOKS AHEAD TO THE WILDFIRE SEASON.

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

AND IT'S GOING STRAIGHT UP OUR MOUNTAIN.

WHOLE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN IS BURNING.

THAT'S NOT GOOD. THAT'S NOT GOOD.

YOU KNOW, WHAT I SHOWS IN THE WAY WE LIVE.

IT DEFINITELY COMES AT COST.

GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW.

ANY TIME, FAITH, FAMILY, GOD,

YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THOSE THINGS RIGHT NOW.

SOMEBODY IS TURNING ONE SOON.

- SO WHAT IS IT? - IT'S A WORLD EPIDEMIC YEAR.

I GOT TO ADMIT, IT'S HARD PREPARING FOR SOMETHING

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW BIG IT'S GOING TO GET YOU.

BUT LET'S JUST GET BACK AFTER WHAT WE DO NOW.

NOTHING GOING TO STOP THE BROWNS.

LET'S THESE WALLS.

HERE WE GO, GUYS. LOOK AT THIS.

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A HARNESS ON.

YOU'RE BREAKING THAT BOARD OFF.

WE REALLY ARE MUCH MORE DETERMINED

TO GET THE HOUSE BUILT.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP.

IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A HOUSE NOW, GUYS.

MAN, SINCE IN THE BEGINNING OF TIME,

HAS BEEN UNDERESTIMATING MOTHER NATURE.

THE FIRE IS ALL THE WAY DOWN.

EVERYONE'S EVACUATING, BUT MOM AND DAD

ARE STILL UP THERE.

GORGEOUS VIEW. LOOK AT THAT, GUYS.

WE COULD USE A BREAK.

NOBODY TAKES A BREAK STILL THIS WALL'S UP.

MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY. LET'S RAISE IT.

IS A GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT.

WE'VE HAD WEDDINGS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

WE'VE HAD BABIES WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT.

COLD THAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT OUT OF ALASKA.

WE WENT THROUGH ALL THESE HEALTH ISSUES WITH AMI,

AND THEN JUST WHEN WE THINK EVERYTHING'S FINE,

YOU KNOW, I START FALLING APART.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH SO MUCH OF IT THAT

EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW TO ME IS LET'S GET THIS HOUSE FINISHED.

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF HOUSES, WE HAD A LOT OF CABINS

AND CAMPS, NEVER HAD A HOME,

AND THERE'S ONE THING THAT I PROMISED AMI A LONG TIME AGO.

WHEN I WAS SITTING THERE DRAWING IT,

I DREW EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T THERE

THAT WE ALWAYS WISHED WERE.

AMI WILL ACTUALLY HAVE A CLOSET,

AND I DON'T THINK SHE'S EVER HAD A CLOSET BEFORE.

IT'S OUR HOME, IT'S WHERE WE LIVE.

IT'S WHERE WE'RE COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY.

THIS HAS BEEN A GOAL FOR 35 YEARS.

IT'S BEEN A GOAL THAT AMI AND I BOTH ARE FINALLY

TO THE POINT OF IT WASN'T EVER GOING TO GET BUILT.

BUT NOW IT'S POSSIBLE, IT'S FEASIBLE,

IT'S RIGHT THERE.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

EVERYBODY'S READY TO GET FINISHED.

WELL, I THINK THAT WE COULD PROBABLY

JUST HOIST THAT THING UP.

I THINK WE'RE JUST GOING TO CUT IT IN HALF

AND TRY TO RAISE THIS SLOWER.

I MEAN, SLOW AND STEADY BASICALLY.

WELL, HOW HEAVY IS SHE?

- TOO HEAVY. - PRETTY HEAVY.

THIS NEXT WALL, IT'S TOO HEAVY TO MOVE BY HAND.

THERE'S JUST NO WAY.

JUST TOO MUCH LUMBER FOR OUR LITTLE BODIES

TO LIFT IT UP.

RIGHT NOW I JUST WANT TO SEE HOW HEAVY IT ACTUALLY IS. NOPE.

MY GENIUS PLAN, WE HAD PULLEYS SET UP TO IT

AND WE PUT THE TRUCK ON IT

AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND HIT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL.

GO.

STOP.

AND WE CRUSHED THE WALL IS WHAT WE DID,

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT BAM SUGGESTED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

WE'RE GOING TO CUT THIS WALL RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE,

HOIST IT UP, PUT IT BACK TOGETHER,

AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A WALL.

OKAY. THAT GOOD, PRINCESS.

YEAH, AND THAT'S MR. PRINCESS TO YOU.

OKAY, MR. PRINCESS. NOW, LET'S RAISE THESE WALLS.

GET YOUR FINGERS UNDER THERE, GUYS.

I THINK WE'VE DONE THE WHOLE THING PERSONALLY.

MAYBE.

YOU WEREN'T COUNTING ON THE SUPERHUMAN ONE BEING HERE.

BEAR CAME BACK FROM HIS WALKABOUT IN THE WILDERNESS,

AND YOU CAN TELL THERE'S A LITTLE SOMETHING THERE,

YOU KNOW, STILL BOTHERING HIM A LITTLE BIT.

BUT FOR THE MOST PART, IT'S JUST GOOD TO HAVE

THE EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS.

AWESOME CORE STRENGTH. LET'S DO THIS.

- NO PROBLEM. - WE GOT IT. PIECE OF CAKE.

- DON'T LET IT SLIDE. - GET YOUR END UP.

DON'T LET IT SLIDE. GABE, GET YOUR END UP.

SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN.

WE HAVE THE KILL THE MOMENTUM OF THE RAISE.

- HOLD IT STEADY. - DO YOU HAVE IT?

DO YOU HAVE IT? YOU'LL HAVE IT?

- YEAH. - ALRIGHT, HOLD ON.

- READY? - ONE, TWO, THREE.

WHOA. IS MATCHED UP RIGHT AT THE TOP. LOOK AT THAT.

AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH WITH THIS WALL,

IT DEFINITELY FEELS GOOD.

I WOULD NOT HAVE FORESEEN THIS MUCH TROUBLE WITH ONE WALL.

IT FEELS GOOD TO HAVE IT IN PLACE,

YOU KNOW, ALL THE TEAMWORK INVOLVED.

WE GOT THE MOST DIFFICULT WALL OUT OF THE WAY.

THE REST OF THEM SHOULD JUST FLY UP.

I'M NOT TOO SHABBY, GUYS.

LET'S START WORK ON THE NEXT WALL.

LET'S DO IT.

♪♪

HI. YOU LIKE THAT?

- WHEE. - OH, HI.

SOMEBODY IS TURNING ONE SOON.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU'RE SO OLD.

CONGRATULATIONS, NOAH.

THANK YOU. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO MY FIRST BIRTHDAY.

THIS IS ELI'S VERY FIRST BIRTHDAY.

OH, MY GOSH. I'M SO EXCITED.

HE'S BEEN SUCH A PERFECT LITTLE BOY.

HE'S HERE. HE'S MADE IT ONE YEAR.

I MEAN, WE'RE OUT OF THE HOT WATER FROM HERE ON OUT.

I'M ALREADY SEEING THOSE GRAY HAIRS, ELI.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WORD THAT COULD DESCRIBE

HOW MUCH I FEEL ABOUT ELI.

IT'S EVERYTHING.

I CHERISH EVERY DIRTY DIAPER

I HAVE TO CHANGE, EVERY BOTTLE,

I CHERISH EVERY HUG.

IF SOMEONE EVER ASKED ME

WHAT MY PROUDEST CREATION WAS, IT'S MY SON.

YEAH.

SO THE ONE YEAR OLD PARTY IS MORE FOR THE PARENTS,

SO WE'RE THINKING RENAISSANCE.

I MEAN, YEAH.

DUDE, IT'S NOT JUST A BIRTHDAY PARTY

WHERE IT'S LIKE THE CORONATION FOR THE YOUNG PRINCE.

- RIGHT. - YES.

I DON'T THINK I COULD PIN DOWN, LIKE,

ONE THING THAT IS COOL ABOUT THE MEDIEVAL TIME PERIOD.

I'M THE HARBINGER OF DEATH.

THE ONLY THING GOING TO BE HARBINGING

IS YOUR OWN DEATH.

IT'S JUST THE WHOLE THING -- THE ARMOR, THE CODE OF HONOR,

THE SWORD FIGHTING. IT'S JUST COOL.

IT'S JUST ONE OF MY FAVORITE TIME PERIODS.

I FIGURED I'D SET THE MARK.

OH. GOING SUPER, SUPER WITH IT.

OKAY.

I'M THINKING FULL ON MEDIEVAL.

THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN.

YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY MONUMENTAL TIME RIGHT NOW.

ELI'S BIRTHDAY IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER,

AND THE MAIN HOUSE IS BEING BUILT.

AND WE REALLY SHOULD JUST CELEBRATE THAT.

NOW YOU SEE HERE.

AND NOW YOU DON'T.

WHERE DID SHE GO? WHERE DID SHE GO?

THERE SHE IS!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE HE'S BEEN BORN.

IT'S CRAZY TO ME THAT HE IS ALREADY GROWN SO MUCH.

WHEN NOAH SAID THAT BIRTHDAY PARTY'S MEDIEVAL THEMED,

WHAT BETTER THING FOR A YOUNG LITTLE KNIGHT

THAN A STEED.

I WANT IT TO BE A ROCKING HORSE

OR AT LEAST A TOY HORSE THAT HE CAN PLAY ON.

HE'S TURNING ONE, NOT 10,

SO I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO BE TOO PICKY OF A JUDGE.

TRYING TO THINK OF HOW HORSE'S HAIR GOES.

HOW DO YOU MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A LOG HAS BANGS?

JUST KIND OF...

NO, THAT'S TOO FAR UP.

THEN WE CAN -- OH. THERE'S A LITTLE SPIDER.

NOT ANYMORE.

BOOP.

OH, THAT'S AN OLD JABEL.

TO ME IT'S A LOT MORE MEANINGFUL

IF YOU CREATE THE GIFT THAT YOU'RE GIVING SOMEONE.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT NOBODY ELSE HAS.

IT'S SPECIALLY TAILORED FROM YOU TO THAT PERSON.

HIS NAME IS FRED.

YOU KNOW, FRED, YOU CAN TALK TO ME.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

I WANT TO TALK TO THE BOY.

WHOA, FREDDY. EASY, BOY. EASY.

♪♪

I FEEL LIKE ONCE WE GET THIS LUMBER UP,

THE REST OF IT WILL GO SO QUICK.

AH.

DID YOU JUST BREAK YOUR GLASSES?

LET ME SEE.

YOU'RE JUST A MISSING SCREW.

GONNA USE A TWIST TIE.

THAT IS ONE PERK TO WORKING WITH NOAH.

- HERE YOU GO. - THANKS, NOAH.

I'VE PUT A TWIST TIE THROUGH IT.

THE END OF WINTER IS IN THE NEAR,

AND ITS MELTING SNOW WREAKS HAVOC

ON THEIR SEVEN MILE ACCESS ROAD.

A LITTLE TOO MUDDY TO GET ON UP THE HILL,

SO YOU'LL HAVE HAUL THE REST OF IT FOR YOURSELF.

THE BROWNS MAKE DAILY TRIPS TO RECEIVE DELIVERIES OF LUMBER.

WE READY? OKAY, THIS ONE'S GOING TO GO UP.

OVER THE NEXT WEEK,

THE WOLF PACK RAISES THE REMAINING WALLS

OF THEIR COMMUNAL DREAM HOME...

JUST LIKE GOLFING. ... AND THE FIRST FLOOR BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE.

WE HAVE A FLOOR, WE HAVE WALLS.

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT WE'RE GOING TO BE ON THE TOP

JUST LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, PUTTING A STAR ON IT.

TO BREAK GROUND ON THE NEXT LEVEL,

BROTHERS BAM AND BEAR

MUST UNEARTH THE LENGTHY FLOOR JOISTS,

WHICH WILL SERVE AS A FRAMEWORK FOR THE SECOND STORY.

FIRST, WE GONNA CLEAN THEM OFF.

WELL, THEY'RE ONLY ABOUT 30-FOOT LONG.

IS THAT ALL? AND IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US?

YOU SEE ANYBODY ELSE OUT HERE?

DEFINITELY MAKES THE JOB HARDER AND LONGER

NOT HAVING A FULL CREW TO HELP.

MAINLY, I MEAN GABEY THERE

BECAUSE HE'S HAVING TO SPEND MORE TIME DOWN MOUNTAIN NOW

THAT HE HAS A NEW LITTLE BABY.

RIGHTFULLY SO. DO YOU THING.

I GOT BEAR. WE'LL GET THE JOB DONE.

MIGHT AS WELL MAKE A RAMP OUT OF THIS GUY.

DID YOU DO THAT ON PURPOSE?

THESE THINGS ARE HUGE THOUGH, BAM.

YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ON HOW TO GET THEM UP?

NOT YET.

DON'T WANT TO BREAK THEM, THAT'S THE ONLY THING.

WELL, THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WITH THESE FLOOR JOISTS,

THEY'RE AWKWARD, THEY'RE REALLY LONG

AND THEY KIND OF WANT TO BEND AND BOW AND WOBBLE.

SO IF WE DO IT WRONG, WE'RE GOING TO BREAK THEM,

AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPARE.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BREAK A SINGLE ONE.

JUST TO GO ALL THE TOP, LAY ALL THE WAY ACROSS IT?

MAYBE IF WE KEEP PUSHING IT A LITTLE BIT.

JUST TO DRIP. RIGHT THERE. OKAY.

THAT'S TOO IFFY, YOU KNOW,

CLIMBING UP THERE TRYING TO DO THAT

BEAR, IF THIS COMES DOWN, IT'S GOING TO KILL YOU.

DON'T MOVE.

OKAY, I'M GOING TO SET IT DOWN WHERE IT'S ON THE THING.

LIKE THAT.

NOW, LET ME JUST SEE...

HOLD ON.

HOLD ON, MAN. YOU GOT SOMETHING.

A LITTLE BIT MORE. RIGHT THERE.

MAKING CONTACT. IT'S CRAZY ENOUGH TO WORK.

I KNOW.

I DON'T WANT THIS TO BREAK IN HALF EITHER.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPARE.

GET TO THE OTHER SIDE. GO.

HOLD ON. JUST HOLD IT.

PUSH.

RIGHT THERE. HOLD.

OKAY, THAT'S ONE.

YOU CAN REALLY START FEELING THE HOUSE COME TOGETHER.

YOU CAN FEEL HOW MUCH WORK HAS REALLY BEEN DONE

AND HOW MUCH PROGRESS WE'VE REALLY MADE

WHEN YOU TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOK AT WHERE SHE IS NOW.

OKAY, WE PUT THEM IN THE SAME SPOT, DO THE SAME THING, EH?

SAME THING. RINSE AND REPEAT.

WELL, I USUALLY USE BOARDS LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME

FOR BRAISING BLOCKING, PUSHING THINGS I CAN'T REACH.

I CALL IT GABEY.

JACKPOT.

- GOT ANOTHER ONE. - YEAH.

- AWESOME MAN. LOVE IT, - WE'RE GETTING IT DOWN, MAN.

YOU'RE NOT JUST GONNA HURT YOURSELF,

YOU'RE GONNA HURT EVERYONE.

-GABE RISES TOO HIGH FOR THE OCCASION.

-GABE, THE BEAMS WILL BREAK.

YOU'RE BREAKING THAT BOARD OFF, GABEY.

-AND LATER...

- IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

WILDFIRE.

THE BROWNS FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL

AS THEIR HOMESTEAD IS OVERRUN.

-THAT'S NOT GOOD.

-WHOLE LINE OF IT. IT'S GOING STRAIGHT UP OUR MOUNTAIN.

THEY'RE PRETTY AWKWARDLY SHAPED, BUT THIS IS FAR UP

AS WE COULD GET THEM.

TOO MUCH MUD.

IT'S LIKE CHILI.

SO WE GO ON FOOT FROM HERE, GUYS.

THE BROWNS MOUNTAIN IS ALIVE.

ALRIGHT.

BUT AS THE FAMILY READIES FOR THEIR NEXT

BIG STEP INTO THE FUTURE...

IT'S NOT JUST A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

IT'S LIKE THE CORONATION FOR THE YOUNG PRINCE.

...EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN THEIR VITAL ACCESS ROAD HAVE FAILED...

ONE SECOND IS FREEZING, IN THE NEXT SECOND,

ALL THE SNOW'S MELTING.

...AND HALTED PROGRESS ON THEIR BUSH ABODE.

THAT'S NOT GOOD.

TODAY, WE HAVE A BIT OF AN EXTREME CHALLENGE

IN FRONT OF US.

WE JUST NEED TO GET ALL THE TRUSSES

UP TO THE HOUSE SPOT.

THE VEHICLE THAT BROUGHT THEM UP COULDN'T MAKE IT ALL THE WAY

BECAUSE OF ALL THE MUD,

SO WE JUST HAVE TO DO IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY,

WHICH IS BRUTALLY AND BAREHANDED.

OKAY, I'M GONNA TAKE A BREATHER.

OKAY, GUYS. HOW'S EVERYONE FEELING ABOUT THIS?

BETTER IF I HAD GABEY.

WE COULD USE GABE, I ADMIT IT.

THINKING ABOUT LET'S MOVE THESE TRUSSES,

ONCE WE PICK THEM UP ENOUGH TO CARRY THEM,

IT JUST WANTS TO FALL OVER.

THIS IS DEFINITELY A TASK THAT I WISH GABE WAS HERE.

WAN TO TRY PUSHING IT?

I'M FOR PUSHING.

ON THREE, EVERYBODY TRY SLIDING IT.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

IT'S GREAT.

IT'S GOING TO BE A SLOW GO,

BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO THINK LIKE AN ANT IN THAT CASE.

AN ANT JUST TAKES ONE LITTLE PIECE AT A TIME

AND THEY JUST HAUL IT.

WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO, GUYS.

YOU KNOW, GUYS, THIS IS WHY I BOUGHT MY HOUSE ON WHEELS.

ALRIGHT. WE GOT A BIT OF A HILL.

I'M READY IF Y'ALL ARE.

HERE WE GO, GUYS.

LOOK AT THIS! LET'S DO IT.

ALRIGHT. FORWARDS.

FORWARD HO. AWESOME, COOL AND EXTREME.

- SLOWLY. - NICE AND EASY.

- WHOO! THERE WE GO. - GOOD JOB, GUYS.

WE GOT ONE.

ONE DOWN, ABOUT 20 TO GO.

HA!

COME HERE, GIRL. GOOD GIRL.

YOU EXCITED ABOUT THE BIRTHDAY COMING UP?

YES. THAT'S GONNA BE COOL.

CAN'T IT'S GONNA BE A YEAR.

NO.

WITH BABY ELIJAH'S BIRTHDAY ONLY A DAY AWAY....

ARE YOU GONNA HELP?

...THE BROWNS MAKE THEIR FINAL PREPARATIONS

TO PERSONALIZE THE OCCASION.

I WANT TO GET IT TO WHERE IT'S ACTUALLY LARGE ENOUGH

THAT HE CAN FULLY SIT IN IT.

AND FOR PATRIARCH BILLY,

THE CELEBRATION HAS AN EXTRA SPECIAL MEANING.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WE OUGHT TO HIM?

HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT?

A LITTLE BIT, YEAH.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING HIM SOMETHING

THAT HE WOULD WANT TO KEEP FOR A LONG TIME.

YEAH, EXACTLY.

LIKE WHAT? HE GAVE ME.

OOH.

YOU KNOW, OUR HOPES AND DREAMS FOR ELI

IS THAT HE CAN LIVE HIS LIFE, YOU KNOW,

WITH AS MUCH INDEPENDENCE AS WE HAVE.

I HOPE THOSE THINGS GET PASSED DOWN TO HIM.

FIRST GRANDKID, YEAH.

LITTLE GUY REPRESENTS SOMETHING

THAT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE.

IT'S KIND OF THE MEANING OF US.

HE'S THE FUTURE.

YOU'RE LEAVING A PIECE OF YOU THAT YOU PASS DOWN.

AND I JUST HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY HAS TO FIND IT

THEMSELVES AND HE WILL, TOO.

HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY FOR ELIJAH.

YOU, THAT KIND OF YOUR NEW THING,

CARRYING AROUND POTATOES? YOU CARRY THOSE EVERYWHERE?

LATER THAT DAY, SISTER BIRD TAKES A BREAK

FROM THE HOUSE BUILD AND BIRTHDAY PREP

TO GIVE BROTHER BEAR A LESSON IN PARENTHOOD.

I WAS THINKING SINCE YOU'RE GOING TO BE

A PAPA BEAR PRETTY SOON,

I WAS THINKING YOU SHOULD DO SOME PRACTICE.

PRACTICE?

WELL, YOU TOLD ME A CAT WAS TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY.

BUT CATS, THEY LITTER AND DRUNKS...

AND BABIES HAVE DIAPERS.

YEAH.

TODAY I DECIDED BEAR SHOULD HAVE SOME DADDY TRAINING

AND PRETEND THAT A SACK OF POTATOES IS HIS BABY.

DO YOU RAISE THE BABY UP?

I THINK THE DIAPER'S BACKWARDS.

I'M GETTING IT. THERE WE GO.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE BOTTLE'S WARM, BEAR.

I KNOW HOW YOU KNOW IF THE BOTTLES WARM, BIRD.

YOU FORGET I PRACTICALLY RAISED YOU.

DAB, DAB, DAB.

SO FAR, SO GOOD.

SEE? THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT.

BIRD IS ABOUT THE BEST HELPER YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET

WHEN IT COMES TO CARING FOR A LITTLE ONE.

IF I WAS SHRUNK BACK DOWN TO A BABY AND HAD TO BE RAISED

BY ONE OF MY SIBLINGS, I WOULD DEFINITELY CHOOSE BIRD.

SWADDLED, COMFORTABLE, HEAD POPPED UP JUST PERFECTLY.

WHAT I'M MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO BE ABLE TO DO BEING A DAD,

IT'D BE COOL, LIKE, CLIMBING TREES WITH THE LITTLE GUY,

TEACHING HIM TO TALK, HOW TO HOWL AT THE MOON.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO TEACH HIM.

I DON'T THINK I COULD NAME THIS ONE YET AGAIN.

YOU DID GOOD. YEAH. YOU THINK SO?

YOU PASSED THE TEST.

I'M A VERY DETERMINED TO BE THE BEST ROLE MODEL FOR MY SON

THAT I POSSIBLY CAN BE, BECAUSE IT'S INSPIRING

AND GROWING THE NEXT GENERATION.

YOU TEACH THEM WELL, AND THEY WILL REMEMBER.

RA!

WANNA RIDE IN THE WHEEL BARREL? YES.

♪♪

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A HARNESS ON.

THIS JUST DOES NOT SEEMING INCREDIBLY SAFE.

WITH DAYLIGHT FADING,

BAM AND BEAR CONSTRUCT A MAKESHIFT PLATFORM

ON THE SECOND STORY ESSENTIAL TO CONTINUING

THE NEXT PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION.

HEY. WHAT'S UP, MAN?

UNHARNESSED 16 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, ONE WRONG STEP...

WHOA. ...RISKS DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURE

AND SERIOUS INJURY.

DO YOU WANT THIS BOARD VERTICAL?

- YES. - OKAY.

WATCH OUT BAM. SCOOT TO THE SIDE.

I'M COMING UP.

I CAN'T JUST BE DOWN HERE BARKING ORDERS.

IT'S WOBBLY UP HERE, BIRDY. IT'S NOT SECURED.

NOBODY ELSE NEEDS TO COME UP HERE.

THEY'RE TOO WOBBLY.

SO, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE WALLS

AND WE HAVE SOME OF THE FLOOR JOISTS UP,

BUT THEY'RE NOT ALL NAILED IN.

IT'S NOT ALL TIED TOGETHER, SO ESSENTIALLY THE BOARDS

WE HAVE LAID DOWN ARE WOBBLY AND IT'S NOT REALLY STABLE.

THESE JOISTS HERE, YOU PUSH TOO MUCH

UNDER THE FRONT IS GOING TO CAUSE IT BREAK.

OKAY, YOU SCOOT DOWN THAT WAY.

- HEY, GABE. - HOWDY-HO.

- HELLO. WHERE'S THE DOOR RIGHT THERE?

YEAH. WE'RE JUST GETTING A COUPLE TACKED ON AND --

ACTUALLY YOU CAN'T UP.

IF ANYBODY'S GOING UP NEXT, IT'S ME.

WHY ARE Y'ALL TALKING ABOUT IT?

WE'RE GOING TO LET THEM PUT TWO DOWN

SO THERE AREN'T A BUNCH OF PEOPLE

JUST UP THERE ON THE BEAMS.

NO WAY. NO, NO.

THE BEAMS WILL BREAK.

GUYS, WHAT ARE WE DOING?

HEY, GABE, LOOK HOW WIGGLY THIS IS.

- GABE. - WHAT?

WE DON'T WANT YOU UP HERE.

- TOO BAD. - NO, NO.

GABEY, COULD YOU HOLD FOR A SECOND?

GABEY.

- GABE. - NO.

- HELLO, GABE. - WHAT?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA JUST HURT YOURSELF.

YOU'RE GONNA HURT EVERYONE, SO STOP.

BEAR AND I HAVE NOT TIED EVERYTHING IN YET,

AND GABEY JUST COMES UP LIKE EVERYTHING'S

NAILED DOWN AND HUNKY DORY.

I MEAN, IF GABEY BREAKS ONE OF THE JOISTS,

IT'S NOT ONLY GOING TO BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS,

IT'S GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT.

ALSO, WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPARE.

WE DON'T HAVE A JOIST TO REPLACE IT WITH.

- IS NOT SECURE, GABEY. - GABEY, NO.

GABEY, YOU'RE BREAKING IT OFF, MAN.

- GABE. - YOU'RE BREAKING THAT BOARD OFF

UNDER YOUR ARM RIGHT NOW.

(YOU'RE BREAKING THAT ONE TOO, GABE.

- WHO'S IDEAL WAS THIS? - THIS IS WOBBLY, GABE.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU, IT'S ABOUT THE JOB.

NOW, GET DOWN. STOP.

THIS IS JUST NOT SEEMING INCREDIBLY SAFE.

WE'RE GOING TO LET THEM PUT TWO DOWN SO THERE AREN'T

A BUNCH OF PEOPLE JUST UP THERE ON THE BEAMS.

- NO WAY. - NO, GABE.

NO, THE BEAMS WILL BREAK.

NOBODY ELSE NEEDS TO COME UP HERE.

THEY'RE TOO WOBBLY.

- WE DON'T WANT YOU UP HERE. - TOO BAD.

YOU'RE NOT JUST GONNA HURT YOURSELF.

YOU'RE GONNA HURT EVERYONE, SO STOP.

- GABE, IT'S NOT SECURE. - YES, IT IS.

- JUST GET DOWN, DUDE. - STOP

ALRIGHT. HERE WE ARE.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING? - KNOCK IT OFF.

GABEY, THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

IT'S LIKE -- HAVE YOU BEEN SNIFFING PAINT?

JUST SCREW THE BOARD DOWN.

YOU HAVE NO BRAIN CELLS ALL OF A SUDDEN.

YOU KNOW, THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS

I'VE BEEN DOWN MOUNTAIN WITH A NEWBORN

AND WITH RAQUELL, AND IT'S BEEN HARD.

IT'S HARD TO BE AWAY

FOR THAT LONG FROM THE MAIN PROJECTS AND THINGS.

I CAN STAND DOWN THERE AND LOOK AT THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET

IF YOU WANT, OR I CAN COME UP AND HELP YOU?

- YOU'RE NOT HELPING. - I DON'T KNOW.

I FEEL A LITTLE BIT LIKE

I DON'T WANT TO BE REPLACED, YOU KNOW?

LIKE I STILL WANT TO HAVE MY SPOT IN THE WOLF PACK

AND I STILL WANT TO HAVE MY SPOT ON THE WORK FORCE.

I MIGHT OVERCOMPENSATE A LITTLE SOMETIMES WITH THAT IN MIND.

WITH BOTH OF US ON HER, HOW AM I GONNA SCOOT THIS?

I'M GOING TO GO OVER THERE AND I'M GONNA HELP YOU SCREW IT.

YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF HURT, GABEY.

QUIT FIGHTING. JUST PUT THE BOARDS DOWN,

SO WE CAN ACTUALLY GET UP THERE AND DO IT.

SINCE YOU'RE THERE ANYWAY, GABEY, GRAB THE CORNER OF THAT,

AND PULL IT DOWN TOWARDS YOU.

TOWARD ME? THIS WAY?

YES.

AS THE PACK GETS BIGGER, AND KEEPS EXPANDING,

IT MIGHT BE HARDER FOR EVERYONE

TO KIND OF STAY TOGETHER AS A WOLF PACK, AND ALL.

IT JUST NEEDS TIME TO JUST WORK ITSELF OUT.

'CAUSE THE BIGGER THE WOLF PACK GETS, THE BETTER.

LET'S GET SOME SCREWS IN.

OKAY, AND THEN, YOU GO IN FRONT.

ONE, TWO.

GOT IT. HOW DOES THAT LOOK?

IT LOOK GOOD.

IT GOT A LITTLE HAIRY.

THINGS, GOT A LITTLE SHAKY, LITERALLY,

WITH EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T NAILED DOWN AT THE TIME.

BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS MY HEART'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

COME ON. THE VIEW IS NICE, GUYS.

PERFECT SUNSET.

I DEFINITELY THINK, AS TIME GOES ON,

I'LL GET BETTER AT THE JUGGLING ACT THAT IS LIFE.

HERE IS HOW I USED TO JUGGLE.

I WAS, LIKE, JUGGLING BALLS.

AND NOW, I FEEL LIKE I'M JUGGLING CHAINSAWS --

CHAINSAWS AND LITTLE KITTENS.

IT'S ALMOST A HOUSE.

ONCE THEY MOVE IN, IT'LL BE A HOME.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

I THINK THE SECRET TO REALLY COOKING ANYTHING

IS DON'T OVERSEASON IT.

SINCE ELI'S BIRTHDAY PARTY IS GONNA BE MEDIEVAL,

YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH A GOOD STEW.

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BUTTER,

BECAUSE BUTTER MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER.

SOME GOOD BUTTER.

I LOVE BUTTER.

BUTTER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FOODS.

I LIKE TO EAT FROM THE STICK.

I LIKE THAT, LIKE, TEXTURE THAT IT HAS.

RAIN, THE FIRST COUPLE OF BITES, SHE GIVES ME SOMEWHERE LOOKS.

BUT THEN, BY, LIKE, THE SECOND STICK,

SHE'S LIKE "BIRD TO STACKS OF BUTTER TOO MUCH."

IT TASTES LIKE A STEW.

THAT'S GOOD.

THE BIG DAY IS HERE, AND THE BROWNS ARE UP EARLY,

PREPARING FOR BABY ELI'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY, LIKE, 17TH CENTURY CLOTHES,

SO I'M JUST GONNA TRY TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF STUFF.

IT'S ACTUALLY STRANGE TO THINK

THAT ELI'S ALREADY TURNING 1 YEAR OLD.

CAN'T QUITE WAIT FOR MY LITTLE ONE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY, TOO.

IT MIGHT NOT BE EXACTLY 17TH CENTURY,

BUT IT'LL BE CLOSE ENOUGH.

- IS THIS WHERE THE PARTY IS? - YES. HELLO.

TA-DA!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

THEY GROW UP SO QUICK.

I THOUGHT MY GUYS WENT QUICK.

THERE'S A LEGACY HAPPENING.

THAT'S A REALLY SPECIAL THING, TO BE ABLE TO PULL THAT OFF.

NO. WRONG PARTY. WE DON'T NEED A HUNTSMAN.

I'M THE DREAD PIRATE.

AND I HEARD THAT THERE WAS A BIRTHDAY.

THERE IS.

WELL, I'VE COME TO PAY MY RESPECTS.

WE HAVE A TRAVELING BARD.

HARKIN, WAS IT NOT A YEAR HENCE

THAT THIS LITTLE MAN WAS BORN?

YES. WELCOME.

WHERE IS HE?

WHERE IS HE?

MAKING SURE THAT THE RANCH IS SET FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

IS A BIG THING,

AND ELI IS THAT NEXT GENERATION.

THAT'S A STEPPING STONE, RIGHT THERE.

ARE WE DOING GIFTS?

YEAH. HERE, NOAH, GIVE THIS TO THE LITTLE DUDE.

OKAY. OPEN IT UP.

- WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT? - WHAT IS IT, BUDDY?

IT'S A POCKET WATCH.

THAT'S MY PRIDE AND JOY THAT MOM GAVE ME.

LOOK ON THE TAG ON IT.

1887.

WOW.

HE JUST GOT HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY PRESENT.

ELI'S BIRTHDAY PARTY REALLY SIGNIFIES

MORE THAN JUST HIS BIRTHDAY.

LOOK AT THAT.

IT ALSO SHOWS THE WOLF PACK, YOU KNOW,

COMING TOGETHER, BEING HAPPY, LAUGHING,

JUST HAVING A HIGH-HO TIME.

IT'S AWESOME.

SWORD FIGHT?

DO YOU WANT TO SWORD FIGHT?

CHALLENGE.

GO, GO, GO.

GET HIM. GET HIM. GET HIM.

WOW. HIS SKILL IS UNRIVALED.

ONE SHOT -- EVEN WORSE, IN THE HEART.

ALRIGHT. I WANT TO SEE THE SHOW.

COME ON, BOYS.

AWAY FROM THE CIVILIANS.

OKAY, ARE YOU PREPARED TO DIE?

CHALLENGE.

IN MY FAMILY, WE ALWAYS CELEBRATE IN OUR OWN WAY.

WE NEVER DO IT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE WOULD.

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S JUST WHO WE ARE.

YOU KNOW? WE LIKE TO DO THINGS OVER THE TOP IN OUR WAY.

GO, GO, GO, GO. WHOO!

NOT BAD.

WHAT? IT'S BEAR.

MY IDENTITY HAS BEEN REVEALED.

NOW, I MUST COME DOWN A LARGE CLIFF,

AND ROLL AWAY.

- BEAR, THAT'S A CLIFF. - THAT'S A CLIFF.

WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT, WHEN WE ALL HAVE KIDS,

AND THE HOUSE IS BEING BUILT

AND WE'RE BUILDING IT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.

AND TO ACTUALLY BE TURNING THAT INTO REALITY,

IT'S AMAZING.

-THERE'S A WHOLE LOT GOING ON, AS YOU ALL KNOW.

IS THIS, LIKE, A PLAGUE, OR...?

IT'S A WORLD EPIDEMIC, KID.

IT'S LIKE A BAD MOVIE.

THEY CAN'T FIX IT.

THERE IS NO CURE AS OF YET.

PEOPLE ARE BUNKERING DOWN TO TRY AND KEEP EVERYBODY SAFE.

IT'S GOTTEN CRAZY.

IT'S A HORRIBLE SCENARIO FOR EVERYBODY.

BOTH MY PARENTS ARE VERY MUCH AT RISK.

IT WOULD BE A DEATH SENTENCE IF THEY CAUGHT THE CORONAVIRUS.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HUMANKIND, NOW, MAN.

AND EVERYBODY SHOULD REMEMBER THAT,

AND PULL TOGETHER RIGHT NOW.

I MEAN, CRAP.

SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PLAN?

-THERE'S A WHOLE LOT GOING ON, AS YOU ALL KNOW.

IT'S JUST TERRIBLE.

YOU JUST DON'T THINK THINGS LIKE THAT

CAN HAPPEN IN A MODERN-DAY WORLD.

YOU KNOW, WITH THIS PANDEMIC GOING ON LIKE IT IS,

MY HEART GOES OUT TO EVERYONE,

IT REALLY DOES.

IT'S GOTTEN CRAZY.

-IT'S REALLY SCARY TO THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW?

IT'S TOUGH TO HEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MAIN PEOPLE

IT'S TARGETING ARE PEOPLE WITH COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEMS.

THAT'S BOTH MY PARENTS, YOU KNOW?

THAT'S MY WIFE.

THAT'S -- ALMOST EVERYONE I KNOW HAS THAT.

SO, IT'S SCARY.

WE'RE JUST GONNA GO ON WITH WHAT WE DO.

Y'ALL AGREE?

WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING.

I DON'T SEE ANY REASON TO STOP BUILDING OUR HOUSE.

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER SURRENDER.

EXACTLY.

LET'S JUST GET BACK AFTER WHAT WE DO, YOU KNOW,

AND PICK IT BACK UP WITH EVERYONE WHEN WE CAN.

NOTHING'S GONNA STOP THE BROWNS.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

THE CREW HAS TO GO HOME,

BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA STOP OUR LIVES.

WE HAVE TO CONTINUE BUILDING ON OUR HOUSE.

WE'RE PLANNING ON TRYING TO DOCUMENT

AS MUCH AS WE CAN

UNTIL THE FILM CREW CAN COME BACK.

WE USED TO, IN THE OLD DAYS,

REALLY STRIVES TO DOCUMENT STUFF,

TO RECORD ANYTHING WITH, LIKE, THE LITTLE MINI CAMS

THEY USED TO HAVE, OR THE OLD 35 MILLIMETER.

WE LIKE DOING THAT. IT'S FUN.

SO, IT'S AWESOME TO KEEP GOING IN OUR OWN WAY.

IT PROBABLY WON'T BE AS GOOD AS WHEN THE FILM CREW WAS DOING IT.

A LITTLE BIT SHAKIER OF A CAMERA.

BUT WE'LL DO WHAT WE CAN.

♪♪

IT SEEMS LIKE -- IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY WE STOPPED FILMING

BECAUSE THE WHOLE CORONA THING.

YESTERDAY ROLLS INTO TODAY.

AND THAT ROLLS INTO TOMORROW.

AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

WHERE THEY'RE USED TO JUST BE A FIELD OF TREES --

A FIELD OF DREAMS

THERE'S A HOUSE.

DO YOU HAVE IT? YOUR PHONE?

YOU GOT IT? YOU ARE RECORDING?

WE'RE TAKING THESE BOARDS.

WE'RE PUTTING THEM UP THERE, AT THE TOP OF THE HOUSE.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE HOME-MOVIE STYLE.

WATCH, GABEY, YOU'LL TAKE SOME TIME OFF.

WE'RE NOW STARTING TO WORK ON

GETTING ON THE WALLS AND THINGS FRAMED IN.

ONCE WE GET ALL FRAMED IN AND UP,

WE CAN START WORKING ON THE ROOF.

HOPEFULLY, GABE WON'T BASH ME IN THE FACE WITH ANY OF THESE.

WE GOT THOSE BOARDS. WE'RE HEADED DOWN, GETTING SOME MORE.

ISOLATED ATOP THEIR 4000 FOOT MOUNTAIN

FOR THE PAST MONTH...

...THE BROWN FAMILY HAS COME A LONG WAY,

ERECTING THE LARGEST STRUCTURE THEY'VE EVER BUILT.

BUILDING A HOUSE.

-AND AS THE INTERIOR OF THEIR DREAM HOME

BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE...

...THE WOLFPACK STAKES THEIR CLAIM

IN THE WILD.

THERE IS A BIRD'S NEST OVER HERE IN THE HOUSE.

THEY'RE DOING DECORATING FOR US.

THEY'VE SEEN SNOW WHITE ONE TOO MANY TIMES, I THINK.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

BUT AS SPRING AWAKENS ON THE MOUNTAIN,

I'M JUST SURVEYING THE AREA.

...A FAMILIAR FOE EMERGES FROM HIBERNATION.

HE'S HEADED UP TOWARD BEAR'S PLACE.

HE'S RIGHT IN BETWEEN BEAR'S AND I.

HEY! GET OUT OF HERE!

GET THE GIRLS SAFE.

THIS BEAR HAS BEEN CIRCLING ALL DAY.

HE'S NOT SKITTISH.

THAT'S A LITTLE WORRISOME.

GET!

GET OUT OF HERE!

GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!

GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW.

OVER THE NEXT MONTHS,

THE BROWNS PUSH FORWARD ON THEIR MAIN HOUSE,

ALL WHILE MAINTAINING THEIR EXPANSIVE HOMESTEAD.

IT'S STARTING TO RAIN ON ME

AS SOON AS I STARTED PAINTING,

THE RAIN CAME OUT TO PLAY.

-AS RECORD RAINFALL PUMMELS THEIR PROPERTY...

...THE BROWNS MUST WORK QUICKLY TO RAISE THEIR ROOF.

AND WHILE THE SIBLINGS

CONTINUE TO SELF-DOCUMENT THEIR PROGRESS...

-THIS THING IS WHAT I'VE BEEN BEEN USING TO FILM MYSELF.

I HAVE THIS LITTLE DUCK TIED ON TO IT.

...MULTI-TASKING PROVES EASIER FOR SOME THAN OTHERS.

SO, BIRD, TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO, LIKE, FILM AND DO ANYTHING.

I NOTICED.

GABE!

YOU DROPPED IT!

I DIDN'T DO THAT.

YOU LET GO OF IT.

CAN YOU DO THAT AGAIN?

SILENCE!

AND THAT'S THE FIRST STEP FOR MAN,

AND ONE GIANT LEAP FOR ROOFS EVERYWHERE.

"DO YOU WANT YOUR ROOF DONE PROFESSIONALLY?"

OH, MY GOSH. JUST SO EVERYBODY SEES THAT.

"DO YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT?"

MOM, HOPE YOU SEE THIS.

"IF SO, PLEASE CALL SOMEONE ELSE."

OUT ON THE ROOF.

DROPPING TAR PAPER.

♪♪

GUYS, LOOK WHO'S BACK?

WITH STATE RESTRICTIONS FINALLY LIFTED,

THE DISCOVERY CREW RETURNS TO NORTH STAR RANCH,

TO RESUME DOCUMENTING THE BROWNS.

I THINK WE SHOULD GO SHOW THEM THE HOUSE.

THIS HOUSE IS MORE THAN A HOUSE.

IT'S A HOME FOR MY PARENTS.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS A MONUMENT

TO OUR BEING ESTABLISHED ON THE MOUNTAIN.

IT'S ALMOST FINISHED.

THIS IS THE ENTRYWAY.

AND THEN, THIS IS THE LIVING ROOM.

WE'VE COME A LONG WAY FROM BUILDING

WITH STICKS AND ROCKS AND MUD.

THIS NEW HOUSE, IT MARKS A NEW CHAPTER.

IT'S BEEN HARD FOUGHT, BUT IT'S BEEN WORTH IT.

MOM HAS ALWAYS WANTED A HUGE KITCHEN.

AND SO, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL GIVING HER.

IT'S LIKE BROWNTOWN 2.0.

WE SEE SOMETHING THAT WE COULDN'T HAVE REALLY

ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE.

THIS IS A SYMBOL OF THE MULTI-GENERATIONAL DREAM

THAT WE ALL HAVE FOR THIS RANCH.

THIS IS, OBVIOUSLY, WHERE MOM'S AND DAD'S BED IS GONNA BE.

THIS IS MOM AND DAD'S FOREVER HOUSE.

LIKE, EVERYTHING, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT.

AND SO, THERE IS QUITE A BIT, STILL, TO DO.

I THINK EVERYONE IS READY JUST TO START ENJOYING EVERYTHING

WE'VE BEEN WORKING SO HARD ON.

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE,

TO SEE HOW MUCH MORE IT'LL GROW.

♪♪

YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST SAW THE FIRE ITSELF,

I KNEW IT WAS SERIOUS, YOU KNOW?

IT WASN'T JUST SOME SMOLDERING BRUSH FIRE.

IT WAS A SERIOUS FOREST FIRE.

IT WAS LIKE A WALL OF FLAMES

JUST EATING ITS WAY UP THE MOUNTAIN.

IT WAS BASICALLY THE WORST NIGHTMARE YOU'VE EVER HAD.

I'M A LITTLE TREPIDATIOUS, SO I'LL ADMIT IT,

BECAUSE IT'S JUST, ALL OF OUR HARD WORK,

ALL OF OUR BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS, AND LOVE

HAS BEEN POURED ONTO THAT MOUNTAIN.

TO MAKE ALL THESE STRUCTURES AND HOMES FOR THE ANIMALS,

AND OURSELVES,

NOW THINKING THAT WE COULD GO UP THERE,

AND IT'S JUST ALL GONE.

THE THOUGHT OF THAT IS -- IT'S DEVASTATING.

♪♪

WHAT IS IT?

OH.

IN THE AFTERNOON,

A TWO-PERSON CAMERA CREW ON THE NORTH SIDE

OF THE BROWNS' MOUNTAIN SPOTS SMOKE AND FIRE

RISING FROM A RIDGE.

THEY ALERT EMERGENCY OFFICIALS IN LOOMIS,

WHO ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE EVACUATION.

WITH ONLY ONE ACCESS ROAD TO THEIR 4,000 FOOT MOUNTAIN,

THE BROWNS' WINDOW TO ESCAPE IS CLOSING.

AND AMONGST THE FIERY CHAOS,

THE CREW AND FAMILY MEMBERS ARE SEPARATED.

- SHOULD WE STOP DOWN HERE? - NO.

EVERYONE'S COMING BEHIND US.

I WAS AT MY HOUSE.

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON.

THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE.

THE SUBURBAN WOULDN'T MOVE.,

AT FIRE THAT'S THIS MASSIVE

IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE NEVER PREPARED FOR.

AND THEN, I ACTUALLY SAW WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM,

LIKE, ON OUR MOUNTAIN.

IT'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN BUILDING.

- OH, WOW. - OH!

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

THIS IS THE SCARIEST THING THAT I'VE EVER HAD TO DO.

- HOLY COW. - THIS IS INSANE.

THE ENTIRE MOUNTAIN IS GOING UP.

WELL, SEEING THE FIRE AS CLOSE AS IT IS,

YOU JUST KNOW IMMEDIATELY THAT WE'RE IN DANGER,

'CAUSE THE FIRE IS THAT CLOSE, WITH WIND ON.

IT CAN SPREAD SO FAST.

Man: THE FIRE IS STARTING TO CROWN THE TREES.

DO WE HAVE ANY AIR ASSETS THAT CAN DROP WATER?

Woman: REQUEST AIR RESOURCES TO DROP WATER THERE.

STAND BY.

SOME OF THE CREW ARE TRYING TO GET THE REST

OF EVERYBODY ELSE OFF,

BUT MOM AND DAD ARE STILL UP THERE.

PROBABLY THE SAME THING GOING THROUGH MY MIND

THAT WOULD GO THROUGH ANYONE'S.

CONCERN.

CONCERN FOR EVERYBODY THAT'S UP THERE.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE EVERYBODY IS RIGHT NOW.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT BEAR IS WITH ME.

IT'S DEFINITELY IMMEDIATELY WORRYING THAT THE ENTIRE FAMILY

COULD BE IN HARM'S WAY, AND THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN KNOW IT.

AS THE FIRE INTENSIFIES, COMMUNICATION BREAKS DOWN

WITH THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN,

AS EMERGENCY SERVICES TAKE PRIORITY.

BAM AND BEAR RACE BACK IN SEARCH OF THEIR PARENTS.

THEY'RE NOT LETTING ANYONE ELSE BACK UP.

WE, OF COURSE, LIVE HERE, SO NO ONE CAN ACTUALLY,

TECHNICALLY, STOP US.

WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING UP.

WELL, UNLIKE WHEN A BOAT IS SINKING,

AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE EVERYONE IS,

A FIRE LIKE'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW HAS ME A LITTLE BIT WORRIED,

TO BE HONEST.

IT'S LIKE ONE OF THOSE "END OF THE WORLD" MOVIES.

WE'VE JUST GOT SOME HELICOPTER SUPPORT.

I ASSUME THEY'RE GONNA DROP WATER.

FIRE ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE.

BOTH SIDES ON FIRE.

- CLOSE THE WINDOW. - WHAT, MAN?

I CAN'T SEE WITH THE SUN IN MY EYES.

EVERYONE'S TELLING US NOT TO GO UP THE MOUNTAIN,

BUT WE'RE GONNA STOP UNTIL WE FOUND YOU.

Y'ALL HAVE EVERYONE? OKAY. SPIN AROUND.

TURN IT. TURN IT. TURN IT.

WE JUST MET UP WITH MOM, DAD, GABEY, THE PARENT.

WE'RE TURNING AROUND NOW, TO HEAD DOWN THE MOUNTAIN,

AND LET THE FIREFIGHTERS DO WHAT THEY NEED DO TO.

BAM AND I ARE BRINGING UP THE REAR

AS THE LAST OF US OFF THE MOUNTAIN.

THERE'S STILL SOME FIREMEN.

THEY'RE DROPPING PLANES, HELICOPTERS.

THE WHOLE FLEET CAME OUT.

THEY'RE TOTAL HEROES. GOD BLESS THEM.

I NEVER, IN A MILLION YEARS,

WOULD HAVE IMAGINED

THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

IT REMINDS ME OF THE OLD HOUSE FIRE WE HAD A LONG TIME AGO

IN HAINES, BUT IT'S LIKE THAT AMPLIFIED TO THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN.

IT'S HARD NOT TO THINK, JUST, WORST CASE SCENARIO,

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING IS JUST GOING TO BE GONE.

IT'S ALSO HARD TO JUST HAVE TO BE OFF THE MOUNTAIN

WHILE YOUR ENTIRE WORLD IS ON FIRE.

EVERYONE WAS EVACUATED.

THEY LET ALL THE ANIMALS LOOSE.

IN CASE IT MAKES IT UP THERE,

THE ANIMALS HAVE A CHANCE TO ESCAPE.

EVERYONE THAT LIVES UP THERE HAVE ALL BEEN EVACUATED.

WE'RE ALL SAFE.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, RIGHT?

♪♪

TO BE HONEST, I DON'T REALLY EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

ME NEITHER.

I DIDN'T GET MY GUN -- OR MY FROG.

I'M HOPING IT DOESN'T MAKE IT TO, LIKE,

MOM'S AND DAD'S HOUSE, AND THE BARN.

NONE OF THIS REALLY SEEMS REAL. YOU KNOW?

IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT NIGHTMARES ARE MADE OUT OF.

I KNOW, YOU KNOW, DIVERSE THINGS HAPPEN TO US.

YOU KNOW, WE END UP LOSING OUR HOME A LOT.

BUT I DON'T KNOW.

I REALLY THOUGHT THAT WE WOULDN'T THIS TIME.

THAT'S LIKE, WE'VE HAD BOATS SINK,

HOUSES BURN.

NOW, THE MOUNTAIN'S ON FIRE.

I JUST HOPE EVERYBODY ELSE'S PROPERTY THAT'S OUT THERE,

EVERYBODY ELSE GETS OUT.

I FEEL BAD FOR EVERYBODY ELSE WHO LOST THEIR HOMES,

'CAUSE I KNOW WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES

THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THE FIRE, AND THAT GOT HIT.

AND, YOU KNOW, I WISH I COULD DO MORE FOR THOSE PEOPLE.

WHAT DO WE DO?

SERIOUSLY, LIKE, WHAT DO WE DO?

WHAT WE ALWAYS DO -- STAND UP.

AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME

SOMETHING'S TRIED TO KNOCK US DOWN.

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

THEY SAY THAT IT'S GOTTEN WORSE.

THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT THIS FIRE IS GONNA DO RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT NOW,

...THE BROWNS FACE THE WORST CATASTROPHE OF THEIR LIVES.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN BURNED,

OR WHAT STILL STANDING.

TRYING FOLLOW THEM. GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO.

-THE WOLF PACK IS NO STRANGER TO TRAGEDY.

Billy: COAST GUARD I AM GOING DOWN.

I'M GOING DOWN.

WE'VE LOST EVERYTHING.

-EVERYTHING THAT MY FAMILY AND I

HAVE GONE THROUGH IN MY LIFE

HAS JUST MADE MY FAMILY STRONGER.

WE'VE ALWAYS STUCK TOGETHER NO MATTER WHAT.

-BUT NOW, WITH A 10,000 ACRE WILDFIRE

ENGULFING THE MOUNTAIN...

-THEY'RE GONNA TRY AND SAVE THE ANIMALS THAT WE CAN,

'CAUSE WE HAVE A WINDOW.

...COULD THE DREAM BE LOST FOREVER?

OH, BABIES.

-EVERYONE JUST GOT TO CALM DOWN.

-WE CAN'T LEAVE ANY OF THEM BEHIND.
