Previously on Alaskan Bush People...

Billy Brown has a plan for North Star Ranch...

I'm going to make a sky boat.

I'm going in.

I do see some rusty rocks.

Gold!

...that will be the key to the future of the Wolf Pack.

This should be about the spot, I'm figuring.

This would be a perfect spot for a zip.

That idea is, eventually, like Gummi Bears or something,

we're gonna be able to zip

from one area of the property to the other.

Put that thing in the sky!

Sounds like Bear's ready.

I heard a snap.

We're going to loose the rope. It's not long enough.

Hold!

Okay, here's what we're doing.

You're going to be observing this thing.

Isn't this the most dangerous spot?

Yes.

Now I know why you picked it for me.

No, no, no.

It's 'cause you have a lot of experience with pulleys and the whole thing.

Not with what do you call it...

not zip lines.

Let's do this.

With the goal of achieving the next phase of

father Billy's master plan...

I am gonna go hang tie off actually

but then, I don't know,

wait till they give me the go-ahead.

The Browns split into two teams

to erect a colossal zip line

uniting all corners of the mountain.

Awesome. Yeah!

Dad has an idea for a zip line.

The first one that we want to put in is very long.

But then we don't wanna stop there.

We want everyone at their house,

we wanna be able to zip-line to Mom's and Dad's.

And I think that will bring us all closer together.

Are you sure any of those connections are not gonna slip?

Hopefully not.

After a failed first attempt

to raise the main line,

the Wolf Pack

braces for round two.

I feel bad for Bear just out there in the woods.

- Just waiting. - Yeah.

He's probably, literally, just doing pull-ups off a tree.

Guys, what are you doing?

Too bad we didn't work out how to--

how to howl when something goes wrong.

Guys!

What's...

...up?

Could've...

built a hamburger place and fried a hamburger by now.

Okay, let's do it.

So the first time, we're pretty sure

there's just a spot on it

that we think was getting caught.

So we're just gonna position the wire differently.

I'm definitely hopeful that the second one will work.

All right, I'm good.

Let's do this.

Ready?

It's moving.

There we go.

Raise her up.

How's it look up at your side?

It looks fine. This is going through.

Here we go again.

It's moving.

Woah, hold!

Oh, bloody-- Guys!

Again?

- It went that way. - All the way down the hill.

The zip line itself,

it is gonna be difficult to put up. But

I thought this was gonna work,

honestly, uh, I feel like it's not worth trying again.

This was connected to it.

And it is just shredded.

The wire definitely should not be snapping.

It means we have overlooked some

fundamental part of this project.

Back to the drawing board.

We should signal Bear to come on in.

I forgot about Bear.

I forgot he was in the woods.

I can't keep working like this.

I don't know about y'all but I just can't.

There's no cooling off.

Oh, there's about a day.

Well, gotta be.

If we have anything to say,

I think we've had a heatstroke of genius.

Before the family determines next steps

for their ambitious zip line project,

the siblings contend with the yearly challenge

of summer on the ranch.

You know, it's really important to find some way to cool off

when it gets as hot as it is.

Let me out.

In Alaska, when it'd get up to 70,

we'd go jump in the creek or swim in the ocean

or just something like that.

But here, there's none of that.

They're like, "Where are you going with my water?"

And up.

What we're thinking

is a mobile pool.

Which is a great idea, 'cause everybody's so spread out.

You know, we can't bring them to the body of water,

we're gonna bring the body of water to them.

It's like if you could swim in your canteen,

just on a bigger scale.

Bird,

ready?

Yeah.

- Good? - Working!

It's working?

- Yup. - All right, perfect.

Oh!

- Oh, yeah. - Hey, hey, hey.

Oh, already, that's like a little... - Oh, that feels...

- ...foot bath. - ...so nice.

Is it nice?

Whoo.

Your socks.

Yeah, I'm washing them.

Well, don't wash 'em in the tank. Socks off!

Fine.

Ew!

- Oh! - Oh!

Gabe!

The water tastes a little bit like feet,

but also

it's bush life. You gotta do what you gotta do.

It doesn't really bother me.

You know, that dirt came from me

or it came from one of my siblings,

so it's not really like

dirty dirt. It's just like dirt.

Put on your seatbelts.

It could get a little bumpy.

All right, next stop, Noah's house.

Y'all guys having fun?

- We're having fun. - Yeah.

Ah, Gabe, you are a mad genius.

I know.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the captain is expecting a wee bit of turbulence.

Hold on, guys.

This is, like, really gnarly!

Being in the back,

the water's sloshing, so you're sloshing

and it's just like a ride.

I've never been to a water park,

I feel like this is close though.

What's up?

Got something to show you.

How long has it been in there?

This is the first stop.

That's what it looks like from the first stop?

They were dusty.

The mobile pool is working fantastic.

I feel like I should say some practical thing,

but I feel like that's not really the importance.

The importance is to bring back the fun,

to bring back the dream

and to start enjoying what we've been working so hard to build.

Eli, do you want in the water?

Yeah? Okay.

We do a lot of work,

but the main point about North Star Ranch

is enjoying what you're doing.

The dream was never just having a piece of property.

It was living the property.

Splash, splash, splash.

Do it again.

I feel like we've built up to the point where

it's all becoming a reality,

and it's time, you know.

It's time that we can branch out and do some of that

more imaginative crazy,

kooky kind of stuff.

- Feels good. - Yeah.

- Oh, that water. - Yeah.

Just does the trick.

Ah, it's toasty.

It has been getting extremely hot.

It's like too hot.

When you look at the thermometer, that is what it says, "too hot".

It literally was over 105 degrees the other day.

One of my kryptonites is actually the heat itself.

It just puts me right down.

It's the only thing that'll stop me from running, from jogging,

I just get so weak in the heat.

I do smell a little bit of wood smoke.

And it smells pretty strongly.

Smoke is definitely coming from that way.

It could be a long ways away.

It travels so well, especially with the wind picked up like this.

It's a little unnerving having the smoke,

especially coming right down the two mountains

right there, funneling in.

Off, right there, ways, ways, ways, in the distance...

Oh, yeah, that's definitely it.

There's a fire fairly close to us.

I better go ahead and head down and let everybody else know

that we do have fire in the area.

That's not good. That's not good.

Guys!

As Bear alerts the Wolf Pack,

the flames

quickly spread...

...growing by the second

and forcing

and emergency evacuation.

Rain, let's go.

We've been warned about wildfires,

we've been taking precautions,

but I never thought for a second

that one would spark up so fast and so intense.

Holy hell!

This is insane. The entire mountain is going up.

I'm extremely concerned

that it would take out the entire mountain.

We've built up a lot of things that are necessities on the ranch.

We built up the ostrich pen. We built up the barn.

Then we built up the main house.

This house represents the Wolf Pack's entire dream.

It is like the worst possible nightmare that there could be.

That's just what it looks like.

Is everybody accounted for in here?

We weren't gonna stop until we found you all.

Okay, spin around.

Turn it, turn it, turn it.

A deadly wildfire has

spread to the Brown's mountain.

Holy hell!

The family and crew

are forced to immediately evacuate.

Oh, no!

It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

We just got some helicopter support.

I assume they're gonna drop water on it.

Already,

this is the biggest devastation that we've ever faced.

When we finally have everything...

there comes this...

literal wall of fire

to destroy it.

We got everyone evacuated and now

Bear and I are just down here with the fire crew,

just watching them do their work,

save the day.

God bless them!

Our home's burning

and there's nothing we can do about it.

There's no way to help.

I know fire fighters and everyone's doing everything they can,

but it...

it hurts knowing I can't do anything for our animals.

All the animals as is are either loose... -

...or with us.

We're just praying that it doesn't ignite the entire mountain.

- They're wondering why I'm not there. -

And when I'm gonna come feed them and when I'm gonna come and save them...

and I can't.

Despite fire fighters' best efforts,

the wildfire devastates

more than 5,000 acres

overnight.

Well, I'm quite concerned actually that

this fire is still spreading.

I just hope that all the animals and everything is safe and that we get to

go back out soon and get our eyes on it and see

how much of it is intact.

I mean, is our barn still there?

Is the forever home we were working on for Mom and Dad still there?

We just don't know right now.

We're in town,

and there are helicopters and airplanes,

they're dropping the water on it.

- As much as we try to be prepared... -

...we're not prepared for this.

It's been a little bit now,

and we're just... We're just in the dark.

It's up to the Good Lord at this point.

Trust in the big guy upstairs.

It's not only us that's been affected,

it's more people, too.

This is a very devastating thing,

that's gonna change a lot of lives.

There are other families further down the mountain.

There are towns that are close by,

there are orchards, there are farms.

A lot of people stand to lose everything that they have.

We have water, camping gear,

and a little bit of, like, soups and stuff.

Thank you, guys. This will help a lot.

In the bush, the code is, you know, you help each other.

It's not even just friends help friends,

it's people help people.

We've even had strangers reaching out to us,

offering their pastures, and offering their barns,

and their houses and their clothes up to us, and that just...

It means the world in times like this.

Relying on community

is a staple of life in the bush,

so Bird and Rain seek the guidance of a neighbor,

who's faced nature's most devastating force before.

Did you lose everything, or...

We don't really know.

Um, but as I was looking while driving off,

everything was pretty, pretty inflamed.

Just circled the whole property,

and, kind of, closed in.

Pat was actually the gentleman

that gave me my hot water heater.

And he's helped a lot, you know, in the past,

and in town and everything,

- like, finding things for us. - Good job.

Did you lose any cattle?

We can't get the longhorns off.

Um, but longhorns have been seen, so they're...

- Yeah. - They've made it so far.

- Well, that's good news. - Yeah.

And it sounds like they're, kind of, corralling themselves

back into where they know, which is good.

About five years ago, there was a tough mountain fire.

They were evacuating, a level three evacuation,

and the looters were coming in,

and the fire would come after that.

Is that something to, like, be concerned about?

It's only the chosen few, you know?

- Right. - 'Cause it's a small community,

but they're still here.

You still gotta protect what you own. - Oh, yeah.

'Cause somebody's gonna take it if you don't.

Pat brings up looters,

and he's saying how people actually

just go up and start looting what's left.

And, to be honest, that's something I never really thought about.

I feel like you almost wouldn't even know

what the looters took and what the fire took

'cause it would just be gone. - Exactly.

In the past, you know, looters and stuff

is definitely something we haven't really had to worry about.

If a looter does come, I won't shoot anyone,

but I'm gonna let 'em know I'm serious.

This is my mountain,

and I still want whatever belongings are up there.

That evening...

Rain, let's go.

...shifting wind patterns give the Browns

a short opening to mount a rescue.

We just got permission to go up to the mountain.

The forest service and the fire department said

it's something to do with the atmosphere.

The fire has died a little bit.

We don't have time to go and tell anybody else.

This window has to be now,

and I'm not gonna waste a single second.

With the fire still raging,

it's the first and likely last opportunity

to return to the mountain before all is lost.

With only a very short window

to rescue some of the animals,

it doesn't leave us any time

to, like, see what else is standing.

Oh, babies.

The horses, more than any of the other animals,

they get spooked, they get scared.

They end up not knowing what to do,

and they just don't do well with the fire.

- Come on. - Come on, babies.

Come on. Come on.

Get back up. Come on.

Okay, they're going back up.

The team manages to wrangle four horses,

as the fire dangerously closes in.

Let's go. Everybody, into the tunnel.

Come on, guys. Get in there. Go.

In. Load.

Over the next few days, the wildfire magnifies,

devastating over 18,000 acres.

Let's go. Come on.

But fortunately, for the Browns,

they're able to embark on a few brief rescue missions.

Yeah. We got you now.

We've rescued all the chickens,

we've rescued all the ducks,

and we've rescued all the goat.

So, it's like a weight off my back

to be able to bring more of our livestock off the mountain,

and make sure that they stay okay.

The recovered livestock

shelter at local homes and farms down mountain.

But while most of their animals have been saved,

Bird hopes the two remaining horses

might have escaped to safety on nearby land.

Woodland! Willow!

Woodland and Willow were the first horses I ever had.

We have a special bond.

I think that's horse.

The hardest part for me right now

is not knowing if they're okay.

Did they even escape the fire?

And I am trying not to think those thoughts,

but I can't help but think that I wasn't there,

like I always said I would be,

and I don't know that they are okay.

Maybe they see me. Are they excited?

- You got my babies. - Hello again.

The last two finally made it down. - Thank you so much.

I found them wandering through the ash together.

Aw.

I can't thank the people that actually went up

and got the horses down enough.

We've got Woodland and Willow!

It is a sign of hope.

It's a sign that North Star Ranch isn't necessarily lost.

You're so dirty.

I know. Was it scary?

Yeah, we're gonna get the halter off you, baby.

Okay. I know.

I think she remembered me.

I think she somehow likes me more.

Hi, baby.

Did you see--

Yeah, you found 'em.

They know exactly where to go.

I don't want to miss it. I don't want to miss it.

Oh, they're all happy to see Willow. Look at that.

They all have such a bond together, you know?

It is a huge blessing that all the horses

made it off the mountain in one piece.

This could have very easily been a lot worse than it has been.

And that's...

And that's how I know that God is holding us in the palm of His hands.

Okay, Woodland and Willow, you seem to be settling nicely.

Drink lots of water.

It's just numbing.

The Browns survey the damage to North Star Ranch.

Like a dragon came through and hit everything.

It was like an alien world.

Two weeks after evacuating North Star Ranch,

the wildfire that displaced the Browns

is finally under control.

Finally a little bit of good news.

Right now, the fire is over 80% contained,

which does mean it's safe to go up.

In one way, I'm excited,

but in another way, I almost don't even

want to go up and see it.

My worst nightmare right now is if it's just all gone,

and there's just nothing left.

Bird, do you wanna go ahead and take the shotgun, just in case?

Uh, if you have it-- something.

While air quality on the mountain

is still too hazardous for parents Billy and and Ami...

- Okay, let's do this. - Here we go.

...the siblings return to assess the damage to their homestead.

Those two weeks seemed really, really long.

They seemed like forever,

waiting for the fire to just die out or get under control,

and to be able to even go back up to the property

and see what had happened.

I think that I'm a little nervous.

Yeah? Nervous to see it all,

or nervous just to get up there again?

A little bit of both. I feel, like, a little nervous

to see what isn't there.

Going back up to the mountain,

uh, you know, I know it's not going to look like I remember it,

uh, because it's just...

I don't know. I don't think there's going to be much there.

Last time we were up here,

- it was actually on fire. - Yeah.

And now that it's not, it's going to be a lot different.

Just, like, as far as you can see.

There's so much devastation.

Doesn't even look the same.

It looks like an alien world.

Wow.

Not much left.

Well, the park bench made it.

Still got a couple of grassy spots

that seem to have survived somehow.

The little duck coop is completely gone.

It looks like it just clean swept right through.

Total devastation.

When fire goes through, it's gonna burn everything that can burn,

so I was pretty much expecting it to look like this.

Just like a dragon came through and hit everything,

which, basically, it did.

It is devastating.

It's a different kind of blow than in the past,

because we're all spread out, doing our own thing.

Come on. Work with me.

I had put in so much work on my own,

put so much into that property,

and so many unique ideas.

And just the days that we fought

just to get in supplies and to get them up there.

No more rabbitat.

And for all that just to be burned to sunder,

there are no words.

We've lost a lot of stuff.

At this point, you would think I'd be numb to it.

But it always hits you a little bit differently every time.

The Browns have definitely had their fair share of loss.

And with this total devastation of everything,

we're gonna try to just press on through, I think.

It's anybody's guess at the moment.

I know it's been hard for everyone.

Burned all the sagebrush for sure.

Here we go.

Growing up, when I was a kid, fire was survival.

Without fire, you couldn't stay warm, you couldn't stay dry,

and you couldn't fed.

Here, in the lower 48, fire more resembles death, to be honest.

When fire is left unchecked or it goes out of control

or has just too much timber around,

it becomes a massive force of extreme destruction.

This doesn't look like it's too bad, actually.

The old ostriches, they're safe.

Hey, there, boy.

The whole hill across the side here burned.

My flag tree is burned.

But the ground here, there's still grass in this,

so the fire doesn't look like it got here.

But I'm just hoping that the heat

didn't heat this baby up enough

to actually mess anything up inside.

Oh, boy.

I have a lot of my prized possessions in here.

Well, everything I have left, so...

Oh, great. It's untouched.

Plus, it doesn't look like it got hot in here at all.

I don't think the fire got close enough to actually heat it up,

which almost makes me feel bad.

I guess I should appear more excited,

but, to be honest, I'm just concerned

with the other guys' stuff 'cause I happen to know

that they didn't fare quite so well.

My family and I have lost so much stuff over the years,

but a home is the people,

it's the Wolf Pack and the family.

I am happy to have my stuff,

but I am gonna go ahead and move out,

see if I can't help some of the other wolves.

To be honest, I'm one of those

hope for the best, prepare for the worst type of people.

So, I was hoping that nothing would be damaged,

the fire just went around,

but I was expecting everything to be...

total devastation.

Sucks.

That's such a shame.

And it's gone.

I don't really know how to process this.

After a wildfire raged through their ranch weeks earlier...

The dog house made it.

My gas tanks made it.

...Noah and Rhain Alisha

return to see what's left of their mash tent.

Oh.

That's such a shame.

Sucks.

Some of our yard is still good.

Our solar panels made it.

Uh, my tractor is okay.

But our house is completely and utterly gone.

So...

Sorry.

Yeah.

It's difficult to sit here and look at

the last few years of your life just burned,

your belongings gone.

Um, the backpack that

Rhain took to Alaska when she met me,

it was in there.

The blanket that my mother...

...made for Eli was in his crib.

And it's gone.

- Love. - Yes.

- You know what really bums me? - What?

Oh, no.

Eli's rattle.

That sucks.

The mash tent meant a lot.

Ah. Noah, it smells like home.

Yeah.

There was still pine needles

and the tent that were from Alaska.

Rhain was still pregnant with Eli when we were in that house.

Some of Eli's first steps were in that house.

What do you have there?

I wanted to literally fold it up once we had the castle

and I wanted to give it to my son someday.

It's disheartening

to lose stuff like this.

The things that have memories attached so strongly to them,

but it's not heartbreaking.

You know, 'cause my family survived.

I haven't seen my tiny house

since before the fire.

Walking up, I see that it's still there.

I'm very thankful that my home is still standing.

It looks the same.

Just looks a little bit more tattered.

It's not really what I had expected.

Because the house is here which I'm thankful for. My deck is fine.

Most of my belongings seem okay.

But, you know, everything around it is gone.

I do feel guilty

that my house was saved.

I just wish that we were able to save everybody else's.

But I can't thank the people that saved my house enough.

That was everything that I had.

The devil is never gonna stop trying to knock us down.

There is never gonna be a moment where it's easy.

But I know that God has a plan,

and I trust that wholeheartedly

and I think that, with everything that we've been through,

it'd be stupid not to trust that.

As tough as it is, every time...

we make it out.

I knew my place got hit from day one.

But coming up here and actually seeing it,

it's just all gone.

Right here used to be very thick forest.

And now it's pretty much nothing.

We can actually even see to the next ridge over there.

Doesn't look like any trees on my place survived really.

Everything that I had on my land, I had a plan for.

It was supposed to be my first home.

What do you think, Cyber?

You wanna see the view?

Nice, huh?

Which I know a lot of people get when they're younger than me...

and it has things that I can't replace in it.

Well, this one is where I had my weapons,

and most importantly my .45.

My .45 meant a lot

'cause it's the .45 I had in Alaska.

And it's the piece of Alaska that I still had.

I didn't wanna leave Alaska.

And so I came to Washington 'cause family is where home is.

And so...

I wanna make Washington work.

And that's why I'm here. That's why I built my house.

But to see it like this, and for this to happen,

it's, like, when is it gonna end?

When do we get the house?

- I don't think that much is gonna be salvageable. - Nah.

Final hope rests in the most vital structure of the ranch.

- Oh, man. Oh, look at that.

Oh, my gosh.

The ground is really warm right here.

Some of this ground is falling through.

The fire got so intense here that it's burned into the roots

and underground.

Got a couple of smoldering over here.

So what I'm trying to do right now is actually bury over it.

I'm going to suffocate it

by pouring all the dirt that I can on it.

Cutting off its oxygen essentially.

Fire is an extraordinarily

dangerous living thing, because it eats,

technically, reproduces,

can die and breathe.

It's so hot.

It's not gonna put it out completely, but it will help cover it over.

So if wind sweeps through,

the dirt will be blocking it and won't spark back up to fire.

Whew. Can taste the ashes.

Ready to see the rest of the place? - I Guess so.

For the first time in weeks,

Billy and Ami Brown return to their mountain homestead

joined by their children.

They hope the ranch's cornerstone structures remain intact...

...starting with their massive pole barn.

- Oh, man. - Oh, look at that.

Oh, my gosh.

- Not much left. - Nah.

It definitely doesn't feel good

standing here, looking at the barn and it's just nothing left.

We put so much into it.

So much heart and soul and effort.

I was really proud of that barn.

And I didn't put a nail in it. That's why I was so proud of it.

This thing is the first thing you all did

totally on your own, you know.

- The cornerstone. - It was the first.

You wanna hand up the truss?

It's all yours.

- I know. - We got it.

The guys and I, we put a lot of time into the barn.

And we built the barn first

because the barn was supposed to be the roots.

- The last piece. - The last piece.

Go ahead and scoot 'er up.

You know, it's just a low blow,

'cause we had just built up to the point

where it looked like the sky was the limit.

It was like if you can dream it, you can make it.

Just took at all of that.

And now we're worst off than square one.

Now there's nothing.

So, what, did the longhorns bust out?

Yeah. The fence was all burned up and everything,

but there was no sign of the longhorns.

But we could hear them rustling around in the bushes and stuff in the distance.

It's hard to think about right now be honest with you. - Mmm-hmm.

I just do wonder when we are gonna get a break.

It's like forever. Everything is always being destroyed.

Can we have a couple of years of like

just having a barn and everyone being healthy?

Could have been a lot worse. - It could have. Yeah.

We could have lost everything, so.

To me it was...

I don't know. Like, it meant a lot.

And I didn't really realize how much it meant to me until I lost it.

I'm fine.

No you're not. Get over here. - No, I'm not.

It's okay, baby.

It's all right.

You know?

Standing here and seeing that the barn is gone,

it's definitely hard for that voice inside of doubt,

and the voice that's trying to make you lose hope.

It's hard to suppress that.

As much as we had built up,

it definitely feels like it's being taken away a little bit.

To have been, just the end of the day,

talking about how far we've come

and how we have so much built. Now we can just start enjoying

and started building zip lines and doing fun things.

For this to have happened,

now what?

Yeah, I mean, it's like back to square one.

I think that much is gonna be salvageable either.

Nah.

Hey...

Yes!

Well, it's a miracle, but she is still standing.

- Dang. - It looks a little better, doesn't it?

- Dang. - Yeah.

As we round the corner and see the big house,

it's there.

It looks like the firefighters like cut some lines around it.

I guess, stopped the flame.

Yes!

I feel like in the long run, this is all that matters, that it made it.

Had this burned it might be a different hint.

- Yeah. - Man.

- Wow! - Let's go in.

Go, ahead, baby.

It is an extreme relief that the house is still standing.

The house did not get burned down. That it's in one piece still.

Now if that's not a sign, I don't know what is.

It says a lot actually. It really does.

'Cause this baby could have been just like the barn.

We could have been left with ashes--

I don't think I could have handled that one.

God, didn't run us out of here.

Definitely take it as a good, you know,

"You don't have to go anywhere, kids."

So where do we go from here? Lay it out.

That's a good question.

I don't know. We just keep banging nails.

The barn hit me hard, I admit it. - Yeah.

It was a symbol to me. It was-- - Yeah.

That monument you've already-- It already was to me.

But, uh,

- look what we been through. - Oh, golly.

Come on, guys. This isn't anything. - Mmm-mmm.

Everything is all right. We're not that good.

Yeah, but we don't sit around dreading.

But when we're totally up against it,

and the whole world's just falling down around us,

that's when the Browns are at their best.

So we stay the course.

We do what we do. We work together and we just keep going.

And we'll fight.

Everything we need in this place, anything, we'll be open.

That sounds good.

Couldn't ask what the Good Lord showed us,

that's when everything is in front of us.

Let's just hope for the future.

There is no doubt in my mind we'll keep going.

You know, the Wolf Pack is not gonna be stopped here.

This is just one more thing for us to all band together over and overcome.

And I have faith that we will.

Group hug. Group hug.

One for all, and all for one.

It's hard to say what keeps us, you know,

going through hard times and tragedy and

it's definitely the Good Lord. It's family.

And I think a lot of it I know, for me, is that

I'm not gonna let anything else win

and knock me down.

Dad's dream is worth fighting for.

We're not gonna let this fire stop us from making it.

We're still going to build up everything that we had planned to build up.

We're still gonna build up the zip line.

We're still gonna pursue the goal.

We will continue to build it up

even better than it was before.

North Star Ranch is not over.

North Star Ranch has just begun.

On the next episode of Alaskan Bush People...

Timber!

Raiven heard about the fire.

Might get to meet River soon.

Actually get a hold him.

Meeting my son for the first time,

yeah, I'm a little bit nervous.

What kid wouldn't love this, right?

Ever since we left Alaska, I've almost felt lost.

I find myself hearing the call of Alaska.

We could actually use their help here,

- as opposed to them being in Alaska. - Yeah.

What is our next step though?

Making it safe to be out there.

I got open flame down here, guys.

The main thing we're trying to stop

is this fire starting back up and getting out of control.

Oh, my feet are burning.

Mom's and Dad's house could easily catch fire.

We need some water. We really could use some water!
