THESE EXTRA-TOUGH BOOTS

INTO THAT BAG
TO BRING WITH ME TO ALASKA.

WE WILL EAT A LOT OFF OF
WHAT THIS RIFLE PRODUCES.

AND THIS WILL TAKE CARE
OF ANYTHING

THAT GOES BUMP IN THE NIGHT.

THE DREAM IS TO HAVE PEOPLE HERE

WHO WANT TO BE PART OF
A HUNTER-GATHERER COMMUNITY.

AND SO, TO ME,
RATHER THAN GOING INTO THE WOODS

ESTABLISHED A BASE CAMP

Narrator: THE CORE CHALLENGE
FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE COLONY

IS TO STORE UP ENOUGH FOOD

TO CARRY THEM THROUGH THE
BARREN MONTHS OF ALASKAN WINTER

WHILE ALSO SUSTAINING
THEIR DAILY FOOD NEEDS.

THE COLONY STARTS
WITH A LIMITED FOOD SUPPLY

FROM ANDREW AND JENNIFER'S
PREVIOUS HARVEST SEASON

TO CARRY WITH THEM.

IT IS ONLY ENOUGH
TO FEED THEM FOR ONE WEEK.

FOR THE NEW ARRIVALS
AT BASE CAMP,

HARVESTING FOOD
IS A TOP PRIORITY.

I DON'T WANT TO BE
THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS,

TO DO WOULD BE

TO START DROPPING A BUNCH

THAT WE CAN BUILD FAST

IN ONE OF THESE,

IT WILL RETAIN HEAT

YOU'RE STILL GONNA HAVE
SOME WARMTH INSIDE.

BY ARCTIC NOMADS FOR CENTURIES.

THE FRAME IS BUILT
FROM 180 SPRUCE POLES.

IT'S WRAPPED WITH BIRCH BARK
FOR WATERPROOFING,

THEN COVERED IN SOD AND MOSS
FOR HEAT RETENTION.

A WOOD STOVE PLACED INSIDE
WILL PROVIDE HEAT

AND A COOKING SURFACE.

ONE OF THE BIG CHALLENGES
THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE

IS EVEN THOUGH THE MOSS
HAS TO BE PUT ON LAST,

WE KIND OF NEED TO GET IT FIRST

BECAUSE ONCE THINGS
START FREEZING,

IT BECOMES REALLY HARD TO PUT
THE MOSS ON.

AS SOON AS IT STARTS FREEZING,

WHICH COULD BE
IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS,

WE KIND OF NEED TO HAVE
AS MANY OF THESE

PUT TOGETHER AS POSSIBLE.

WE'LL HAVE WARM SPOTS
TO HANG OUT AT EACH PLACE WE GO.

FROM A TREE

TO A FINISHED PRODUCT

SO THIS IS THE MOOSE HIDE.

I'M GONNA MAKE SOME WINTER GEAR
FOR MY FEET

AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING BIG
ENOUGH TO FIT LAYERS INSIDE OF.

EVERYBODY ELSE HAS GOT SHOES
AND WINTER GEAR.

I'M THE ONLY ONE HERE

THAT DOESN'T HAVE
ANYTHING FOR WINTER.

SO HOPEFULLY SOMEDAY,
THIS WILL BE SEVERAL PAIRS

OF WINTER MOCCASINS FOR ME.

I MADE SOME -- SOME LYE.

SO BASICALLY I JUST TOOK
WOOD ASH, SOAKED IT IN A BUCKET,

STIRRED IT,
AND I MADE A SOLUTION OF LYE.

'CAUSE WHAT THE LYE DOES IS IT
CHANGES THE pH OF THE HIDE

TO GET THE HAIR OFF OF IT.

AND THEN THAT LYE
WILL JUST SOAK IN.

THIS ACTUALLY HAS A LIVE FLY
LIVING IN THIS,

BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

THIS FLY IS
THE ULTIMATE SURVIVALIST.

FLY IN THE MIDDLE OF ALASKA

LIVING IN A [BLEEP]
SEPTIC TANK OF LYE.

THAT [BLEEP] RIGHT THERE, YOU
CAN LEARN SOME LESSONS FROM.

I AM AS TOUGH AS THAT FLY.

I WILL TAKE SOME LESSONS FROM
THAT [BLEEP]

I GUARANTEE YOU THAT.

I AM SO READY TO TEST MYSELF

AND MY GEAR
AGAINST THIS ALASKAN WINTER.

SO IF I WORK HARD ON THIS
AND GET IT DONE,

I MEAN, HOPEFULLY I CAN START,
YOU KNOW,

DOING THE FINISHING TOUCHES
ON THE HIDE, SMOKING IT,

AND GETTING IT READY.

CAN BE STRANDED

TO YOU GUYS RIGHT NOW,

WE DIDN'T GET A BEAR

DOWN IN THE RIVER VALLEY.

IF WE CAN'T GET BACK TO BASE
CAMP, THIS WILL BE REALLY BAD.

WE'LL BE STRANDED
AT BIRCH WITH NO FOOD.

THIS IS A REAL SITUATION
THAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAPPEN

AT LEAST FOR ANOTHER WEEK,

Narrator:
ICE FORMING ON THE RIVER SIGNALS

ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS TIMES
OF YEAR IN ALASKA.

THE PARTIAL FREEZE
MEANS TRAVEL IS IMPOSSIBLE.

THERE'S TOO MUCH ICE FOR BOATS,

BUT THE SOFT SECTIONS
MAKE IT UNSAFE TO GO ON FOOT.

ANY COLONY MEMBERS
NOT AT BASE CAMP

COULD BE CUT OFF FROM FOOD
AND PERMANENT SHELTER.

THIS IS A LOT THICKER
THAT'S COMING DOWN.

THE SNOW COULD JUST BE
HIDING BAD ICE.

Andrew:
I DO THINK THE ICE IS,

OVERALL, THE MOST
CONSISTENTLY DANGEROUS THING.

EVEN WITH
THIS SMALL LAYER OF SNOW,

YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON UNDERNEATH.

THE OTHER SUPER DANGEROUS THING
ABOUT THIS ICE

IN PARTICULAR ON THE RIVER

IS THAT THERE'S CURRENT
UNDERNEATH HERE.

SO IF YOU GO THROUGH THE ICE,

THE CURRENT PULLS YOU DOWN
UNDER MORE ICE

AND THERE'S NO CHANCE
OF GETTING OUT.
