WORKING WITH MY SAWMILL,
TURNING A HEAVY LOG,
45

I PINCHED A FINGER REALLY BAD.
46
00:02:49,366 --> 00:02:52,800
I BASICALLY SEVERED
THE TIP OF THE FINGER OFF.
47
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,900
IT WAS A REAL AWAKENING TO
HOW QUICK THINGS CAN HAPPEN AND

I TRIED TO GET TO FAIRBANKS.
52
00:03:05,766 --> 00:03:08,733
I HAD A BUDDY OF MINE
FLY ME UP TO EAGLE,
53
00:03:08,766 --> 00:03:11,033
COULDN'T GET INTO FAIRBANKS
BECAUSE OF WEATHER,
54
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:13,966
SO I DECIDED TO COME BACK
DOWN TO CALICO BLUFF AND

DEAL WITH IT MYSELF.

WHICH IS HOLDING HAMMERS,

71

FAT AND PROTEIN.
78
00:04:23,266 --> 00:04:25,266
PROTEIN HELPS
THEM RECOVER, FAT,
79
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:28,300
THEY USE TO BURN
ENERGY AND KEEP WARM.

84
00:04:36,833 --> 00:04:39,133
THEY GOT TO HAVE CONSISTENCY.
85
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:41,700
THEIR BODIES HAVE TO BE
ADAPTED TO EXACTLY WHAT I'M
86
00:04:41,733 --> 00:04:44,500

MAINTENANCE OF HIS EQUIPMENT.

WITH ONLY TWO DAYS BEFORE
HIS FIRST RACE OF THE SEASON,
95
00:05:18,366 --> 00:05:20,600
IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT
JESSIE MAKES HIS REPAIRS
96
00:05:20,633 --> 00:05:23,700
NOW TO AVOID FALLING
BEHIND THE COMPETITION.
97
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,666
JESSIE HOLMES: A LOT
OF PEOPLE GOT A LOT OF FANCY
98
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:27,900
EQUIPMENT IN THIS SPORT.
99
00:05:27,933 --> 00:05:29,000
AND A LOT OF THEM
ARE HOURS, AND HOURS,
100
00:05:29,033 --> 00:05:31,666
AND EVEN DAYS BEHIND ME.
101
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:34,033
I PUT MY WORK INTO THE DOGS.
102
00:05:34,066 --> 00:05:36,266
I GOT THIS BRAKE FIXED.
103
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:38,133
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S
GONNA DO GOOD.
104
00:05:40,466 --> 00:05:42,300
NOW, I'M GONNA COME OUT AND
CHECK OUT THE DOGS I'M GONNA
105
00:05:42,333 --> 00:05:45,300
TAKE TO THE RACE AND PUT
SOME OIL ON THEIR FEET,
106
00:05:45,633 --> 00:05:46,933
AND TRIM THEIR TOENAILS.
107
00:05:46,966 --> 00:05:49,233
I SAY ONE THING,
NO FOOT, NO DOG.
108
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:51,900
IF YOU GOT A DOG WITH A BUM
FOOT, AND HIS FOOT'S HURTING,
109
00:05:51,933 --> 00:05:54,566
THAT GOES TO ITS MIND, AND THE
LAST THING I WANT MY DOG TO
110
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,033
THINK IS THAT RACING'S NOT
THE FUNNEST THING EVER.
111
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:01,066

THE DOGS' FEET AND GOT MY SLED

PERSONAL GEAR ALL READY,

125
00:06:42,966 --> 00:06:44,900
VERY LITTLE SUNLIGHT.
126
00:06:44,933 --> 00:06:46,200
JUST TWILIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE DAY.
127
00:06:46,233 --> 00:06:48,866
I CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF
SUNSHINE IN THE MIDDLE OF
128
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,266
THE DAY, AND THEN
IT DISAPPEARS.
129
00:06:53,366 --> 00:06:56,166
IT'S DARK MOST OF THE TIME,
BUT IT'S A GOOD TIME OF THE
130
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,833
YEAR TO GO TRAPPING.
131
00:06:57,866 --> 00:06:59,766
THIS IS WHEN FUR
IS AT ITS PRIME.
132
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,400
THIS IS WHEN I GO OUT AND
TRY TO CATCH SOME FUR.
133
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
THE ICE IS THICK ENOUGH NOW.
134
00:07:04,033 --> 00:07:07,033
I CAN WALK SAFELY
ACROSS THE LAKES.
135
00:07:07,066 --> 00:07:09,233
I COULD TRAVEL THE
COUNTRY RELATIVELY EASILY.
136
00:07:09,266 --> 00:07:12,633
THIS IS THE TIME TO GET
TRAPS AND SNARES SET.
137
00:07:12,666 --> 00:07:14,933
SO, TODAY, I'M GONNA
GO OUT AND I'M GONNA SET
138
00:07:14,966 --> 00:07:17,233
SOME SNARES FOR BEAVER.
139
00:07:18,266 --> 00:07:21,866
LAST SPRING, I WAS EXPLORING
AND I FOUND A LAKE WHERE THERE
140
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,400
WERE SOME BEAVERS LIVING.
141
00:07:23,433 --> 00:07:25,966
THAT WAS REALLY EXCITING TO
ME BECAUSE THERE ARE VERY FEW
142
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,500
BEAVER IN THIS COUNTRY.
143
00:07:27,533 --> 00:07:29,266
BEAVER ARE A VALUABLE
ANIMAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE
144
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:30,700
A VERY USEFUL FUR.
145
00:07:30,733 --> 00:07:32,700
IT'S A GOOD UTILITARIAN FUR.
146
00:07:32,733 --> 00:07:33,966
YOU CAN USE IT TO KEEP WARM.
147
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,266
I WEAR BEAVER EVERY DAY.
148
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:37,600
I'VE GOT BEAVER FUR RIGHT
UP NEXT TO MY FACE, NICE,
149
00:07:37,633 --> 00:07:38,500
AND SOFT, AND WARM.
150
00:07:38,533 --> 00:07:40,766
AND BEAVER'S REALLY
GOOD FOOD TO EAT.
151
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,866
THEY'VE GOT A REALLY TASTY
MEAT AND THEY OFTEN HAVE
152
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:45,233
A LOT OF FAT ON THEM.
153
00:07:45,266 --> 00:07:46,866
THE SOONER I GET
MY SNARES OUT,
154
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:48,700
THE LONGER THEY'RE
GONNA WORK FOR ME.
155
00:07:48,733 --> 00:07:50,133
NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT.
156
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,933
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR NOW
IS A REALLY GOOD BAIT TO
157
00:07:54,966 --> 00:07:57,066
CATCH A BEAVER WITH.
158
00:07:57,100 --> 00:07:59,200
RIGHT UP HERE, THERE'S
ONE LITTLE STAND OF ASPEN.
159
00:07:59,233 --> 00:08:01,966
THIS IS THE ONLY ASPEN AROUND
HERE FOR MILES AND MILES.
160
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,966
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW
THE COUNTRY OUT HERE WELL,
161
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,100
BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY
CERTAIN PLACES WHERE YOU
162
00:08:07,133 --> 00:08:08,266
CAN FIND CERTAIN RESOURCES.
163
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:10,933
THIS ASPEN IS AN
EXCELLENT BAIT FOR BEAVER.
164
00:08:11,633 --> 00:08:13,833
AND AROUND THIS COUNTRY,
ASPEN'S HARD TO FIND.
165
00:08:14,166 --> 00:08:16,000
THE BEAVER DON'T GET A
CHANCE TO EAT IT NORMALLY.
166
00:08:16,033 --> 00:08:17,833
WHEN THEY SMELL THIS ASPEN,
167
00:08:17,866 --> 00:08:19,333
IT'S GONNA BE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
168
00:08:19,366 --> 00:08:20,733
IT'S GONNA BE A DELICACY.
169
00:08:20,766 --> 00:08:23,433
AND THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
THE BEAVER WILL GO TO IT.
170
00:08:25,766 --> 00:08:27,866
TO A BEAVER, THAT'S
GONNA BE IRRESISTIBLE.
171
00:08:28,833 --> 00:08:30,900
NOW I JUST GOT TO GO TO
WHERE THE BEAVERS ARE,
172
00:08:30,933 --> 00:08:33,466
AND THAT'S SEVERAL
MORE MILES FROM HERE.
173
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:34,900
OUT HERE, BEAVERS
ARE NOT PLENTIFUL.
174
00:08:34,933 --> 00:08:38,100
IF YOU WANNA CATCH ONE, YOU
HAVE TO WALK A LONG WAYS.
175
00:08:40,633 --> 00:08:42,700
SUE AIKENS: OPPORTUNITY
PRESENTS ITSELF OUT HERE AT
176
00:08:42,732 --> 00:08:44,866
A MOMENT'S NOTICE, AND IF
YOU CAN'T CHANGE YOUR GEARS
177
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:47,166
ON THE FLY,
YOU'RE GONNA MISS OUT.
178
00:08:56,466 --> 00:09:02,733
♪ ♪
179
00:09:04,033 --> 00:09:07,066
I AM INTERESTED TO
SEE WHAT'S OVER HERE.
180
00:09:09,733 --> 00:09:10,800
SHEEP.
181
00:09:10,833 --> 00:09:12,000
THERE IS JUST A BUNCH.
182
00:09:12,033 --> 00:09:14,200
THERE'S A WAD OF 'EM,
A WHOLE BIG LINE.
183
00:09:14,233 --> 00:09:16,633
YOU CAN SEE THE
TRAILS GOING ACROSS.
184
00:09:16,666 --> 00:09:19,066
ALL THOSE TRACKS ARE
WHERE THOSE SHEEP HAVE
185
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:20,800
GONE FOR CENTURIES.
186
00:09:20,833 --> 00:09:22,300
I SEE 26 PLUS.
187
00:09:22,333 --> 00:09:26,800
SOME OF 'EM ARE GOING BACK OVER
THE RIDGE TO THE OTHER SIDE.
188
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:29,933
NARRATOR: SUE AIKENS HAS
TRAVELED 70 MILES FROM HER
189
00:09:29,966 --> 00:09:33,000
HOME TO THE ARCTIC NATIONAL
WILDLIFE REFUGE TO EXPLORE
190
00:09:33,033 --> 00:09:35,800
NEW TERRITORY AND
SCOUT FOR RESOURCES.
191
00:09:36,066 --> 00:09:38,600
TODAY, SHE WILL
HUNT FOR SHEEP IN THE
192
00:09:38,633 --> 00:09:40,000
SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS,
193
00:09:40,033 --> 00:09:41,700
BUT PURSUING THE
ANIMALS WILL FORCE HER
194
00:09:41,733 --> 00:09:43,700
TO NAVIGATE STEEP,
TREACHEROUS TERRAIN.
195
00:09:43,733 --> 00:09:46,033
SUE AIKENS: TO HUNT SHEEP,
THEY DON'T LIVE IN THE BOTTOM
196
00:09:46,066 --> 00:09:48,200
OF THE LAND, THEY
LIVE UP IN THE TOP.
197
00:09:48,233 --> 00:09:50,100
THAT'S A GOOD SIX,
SEVEN HOUR HIKE.
198
00:09:50,133 --> 00:09:50,966
THIS IS NOT EASY HIKING.
199
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,300
IT IS FROZEN.
200
00:09:53,333 --> 00:09:54,733
AS LONG AS I DON'T
GET A HEAVY SNOW,
201
00:09:54,766 --> 00:09:57,366
THERE'S NO REASON FOR THEM
TO WANNA COME DOWN LOWER YET.
202
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,533
I'VE GOT TO COME UP TO THEM,
203
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:01,933
AND THEN
YOU'RE SHOOTING UPHILL.
204
00:10:01,966 --> 00:10:04,400
SO, YOU'VE GOT
GRAVITY, WIND PROBABLY.
205
00:10:04,433 --> 00:10:05,900
I CAN SEE THERE'S WIND
UP HIGH BY WHAT'S HAPPENING
206
00:10:05,933 --> 00:10:09,266
WITH THE FOG AND
THE CLOUDS OVER THERE.
207
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:10,666
THERE'S A LOT
OF ROOM FOR ERROR.
208
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:13,233
THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL TIME
OF THE YEAR WHERE PEOPLE GO
209
00:10:13,266 --> 00:10:15,200
FLYING AROUND IN THE REFUGE.
210
00:10:15,233 --> 00:10:16,666
I'M GONNA GO CHECK IT OUT.
211
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:19,200
I GOT THE PERMITS TO
DO A WINTER SHEEP HUNT.
212
00:10:19,233 --> 00:10:20,700
THE 50-SOMETHING YEARS THAT
I'VE BEEN ON THE PLANET,
213
00:10:20,733 --> 00:10:24,866
I'VE NEVER BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR
THE SUBSISTENCE HUNTING AND
214
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:26,633
NOW THEY'VE ALLOWED IT.
215
00:10:26,666 --> 00:10:28,633
A LITTLE BIT OUT OF
SHAPE FOR A SHEEP HUNT,
216
00:10:28,666 --> 00:10:30,066
THAT'S NOT GONNA STOP ME.
217
00:10:30,100 --> 00:10:33,833
SHEEP HUNTING HAS ALWAYS
BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE ONE
218
00:10:33,866 --> 00:10:35,200
OF THE HARDEST.
219
00:10:35,233 --> 00:10:40,500
YOU ARE PITTED AGAINST AN
ENORMOUSLY INTELLIGENT CREATURE.
220
00:10:40,533 --> 00:10:41,566
THEY ARE HEARTY.
221
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,500
THEY LIVE IN THE MOST
INHOSPITABLE REGIONS.
222
00:10:44,533 --> 00:10:47,533
YOU HAVE GOT TO HIDE YOURSELF
SIX WAYS FROM SUNDAY TO EVEN
223
00:10:47,566 --> 00:10:48,633
SNEAK UP ON THEM.
224
00:10:48,666 --> 00:10:51,366
YOU ARE PITTING YOURSELF
AGAINST THE APEX.
225
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,266
THE ARCTIC, WHILE IT'S
GOT THIS PRISTINE BEAUTY,
226
00:10:56,433 --> 00:10:58,566
AND IT'S AUSTERE,
AND I MEAN,
227
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,500
IT'S JUST INCOMPARABLE
IN A LOT OF WAYS.
228
00:11:01,533 --> 00:11:04,766
IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO
HAVE THE LESSER SPECIES
229
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,033
THRIVE AND SURVIVE.
230
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:08,133
IT IS MADE FOR THE TOUGH.
231
00:11:09,633 --> 00:11:11,966
OH, I JUST GOT MYSELF
SURROUNDED BY WATER.
232
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,466
SUZY CANNOT CROSS THAT.
233
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:16,100
JUST CRAZY TO HAVE THIS
MUCH WATER THIS TIME OF YEAR,
234
00:11:16,133 --> 00:11:17,300
IT REALLY IS.
235
00:11:17,333 --> 00:11:18,966
I'M AT ZERO DEGREES RIGHT NOW.
236
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,300
IF I GET WET OR I HIT
MY HEAD, I'M DEAD.
237
00:11:23,833 --> 00:11:26,933
I CANNOT GET AN AIRPLANE
HERE TO RESCUE ME FOR
238
00:11:26,966 --> 00:11:28,966
ABOUT 24 HOURS.
239
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,666
I CANNOT DO THAT TO
MYSELF JUST FOR A SHEEP.
240
00:11:34,033 --> 00:11:36,200
I'M NOT GONNA RISK IT.
241
00:11:36,233 --> 00:11:37,933
THE SHEEP ARE
PROBABLY UP THERE GOING...
242
00:11:37,966 --> 00:11:39,500
[LAUGHS]
243
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,066
THAT SUN IS THE THING THAT'S
TELLING ME IT'S TIME FOR ME TO
244
00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:47,166
HEAD BACK, MAKE ANOTHER
PLAN FOR TOMORROW.
245
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,933
ANDY BASSICH: WHEN YOU
LIVE OUT IN THE BUSH,
246
00:11:52,966 --> 00:11:54,433
YOU LEARN TO JUST
TRUST YOUR GUT.
247
00:11:54,466 --> 00:11:55,933
YOU LEARN THROUGH EXPERIENCES
JUST TO DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT
248
00:11:55,966 --> 00:11:59,666
THINGS AND THAT GIVES
YOU A CONFIDENCE.
249
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,733
MY FINGER'S HEALING UP
REALLY WELL AND EVERYTHING'S
250
00:12:05,766 --> 00:12:09,566
GOING GOOD EXCEPT FOR WHEN
I PUT IT BACK TOGETHER,
251
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,700
THE QUICK OR THE ROOT OF
THE NAIL DIED BECAUSE THERE
252
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:15,066
WAS NO FLESH COVERING IT.
253
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:16,733
THAT'S WHERE THE
INITIAL BREAK WAS.
254
00:12:16,766 --> 00:12:19,866
AND IT'S SLOWLY GETTING
TO THE POINT WHERE THERE'S
255
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:21,500
NOT MUCH LEFT ATTACHED.
256
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:23,633
JUST A LITTLE BIT
BACK DOWN IN HERE.
257
00:12:23,666 --> 00:12:26,133
AND WHAT I'M AFRAID OF IS,
I'M GONNA PULL A GLOVE OFF AND
258
00:12:26,166 --> 00:12:28,600
I'M GONNA SNAG THIS NAIL,
AND I'M GONNA RIP IT OFF
259
00:12:28,633 --> 00:12:30,633
IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER.
260
00:12:30,666 --> 00:12:33,500
SO, WHAT I REALLY NEED TO
DO IS I NEED TO SOAK THIS
261
00:12:33,533 --> 00:12:35,733
FOR A LITTLE BIT, GET
EVERYTHING NICE AND SOFT,
262
00:12:35,766 --> 00:12:38,666
AND THEN I NEED TO JUST
PEEL THAT NAIL OFF AND
263
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:39,733
GET RID OF THIS NAIL.
264
00:12:39,766 --> 00:12:42,400
IT'S GONNA HURT, BUT IT'S
SOMETHING I GOT TO DO.
265
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:46,066
ANY DIRT, ANY BACTERIA
YOU GET DOWN IN THERE,
266
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:47,866
THAT COULD GET INFECTED,
AND THEN I COULD BE IN REAL
267
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:51,133
TROUBLE IF I GET AN INFECTION.
268
00:12:51,166 --> 00:12:53,900
HOPEFULLY, IT'LL
COME OFF NICELY.
269
00:12:53,933 --> 00:12:55,933
I CAN TELL RIGHT NOW
THAT'S GONNA HURT.
270
00:12:55,966 --> 00:12:59,066
[SIGHS]
271
00:13:00,933 --> 00:13:02,700
BREATHE DEEP.
272
00:13:06,133 --> 00:13:08,933
ANDY BASSICH: BREATHE DEEP.
273
00:13:09,333 --> 00:13:12,066
OKAY, I'M JUST GONNA
DO A QUICK ONE.
274
00:13:14,133 --> 00:13:15,033
ON THREE.
275
00:13:15,066 --> 00:13:17,066
ONE, TWO, THREE.
276
00:13:19,066 --> 00:13:21,100
YOWZA.
277
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,900
OH YEAH, WELL, THAT DID IT.
278
00:13:23,933 --> 00:13:25,633
IT'S OFF.
279
00:13:25,666 --> 00:13:26,900
HMM, OKAY, HOW ABOUT
A LITTLE ALCOHOL?
280
00:13:26,933 --> 00:13:29,066
THAT OUGHT TO GIVE IT A WINCE.
281
00:13:31,133 --> 00:13:34,000
WHEW, I THINK I'M
GONNA BE OKAY.
282
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,933
A BIT OF A STING,
BUT SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR
283
00:13:38,966 --> 00:13:42,133
STILL HAVING A FINGER.
284
00:13:47,733 --> 00:13:51,733
TIME TO GET KIND OF SETUP
FOR MUSKRAT TRAPPING.
285
00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:56,433
IT'S GONNA BE KIND OF AN
INTERESTING TIME OUT ON THE
286
00:13:56,466 --> 00:13:59,066
LAKE TODAY, TRYING
TO DEAL WITH THIS.
287
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:00,900
IT'S PRETTY SENSITIVE
TO THE TOUCH,
288
00:14:00,933 --> 00:14:02,600
BUT I'M FEELING REALLY GOOD.
289
00:14:02,633 --> 00:14:05,066
I'M STARTING TO GET COLOR
AND A LITTLE BIT OF FEELING
290
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,533
BACK TO THE
END OF THAT FINGER.
291
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:10,866
IT REALLY COMPLICATES
EVERYTHING.
292
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:12,866
IT SLOWS YOU DOWN,
NOT TO MENTION IT'S
293
00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:14,300
PRETTY UNCOMFORTABLE.
294
00:14:14,333 --> 00:14:15,533
BUT IT'S JUST SOMETHING YOU
GOT TO DEAL WITH, YOU KNOW,
295
00:14:15,566 --> 00:14:17,533
IF YOU'RE OUT IN THE
BUSH, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN,
296
00:14:17,566 --> 00:14:19,566
YOU DEAL WITH IT.
297
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,733
OH YEAH, THAT'LL WORK.
298
00:14:22,166 --> 00:14:24,366
OKAY, LET'S GO, GUYS.
299
00:14:24,566 --> 00:14:27,200
I THINK I'M READY TO
GO MUSKRAT TRAPPING.
300
00:14:29,433 --> 00:14:31,966
WHOA, GOOD BOYS.
301
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,000
THAT WAS GOOD, BERGY.
302
00:14:33,033 --> 00:14:36,466
OOH, LOOK AT HOW
THICK THAT ICE IS.
303
00:14:37,466 --> 00:14:38,533
HOLY CRAP.
304
00:14:38,566 --> 00:14:40,733
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S
A GOOD 10 INCHES OF ICE ON
305
00:14:40,766 --> 00:14:41,866
THE LAKE RIGHT NOW.
306
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:43,333
THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.
307
00:14:43,366 --> 00:14:45,800
THE TEMPERATURE'S JUST
STARTED GETTING REALLY COLD,
308
00:14:45,833 --> 00:14:47,300
AND THE LAKE ICE
IS GETTING THICK.
309
00:14:47,333 --> 00:14:51,300
AND ONCE THOSE MUSKRATS CAN
NO LONGER KEEP THEIR HOLE OPEN,
310
00:14:51,333 --> 00:14:53,133
THEN TRAPPING FOR
MUSKRATS IS OVER.
311
00:14:54,566 --> 00:14:55,933
I'M GONNA FIND OUT IN A
MINUTE OR TWO WHETHER OR NOT
312
00:14:55,966 --> 00:14:59,700
THIS IS EVEN DOABLE
THIS LATE IN THE SEASON,
313
00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:02,933
BUT WE'LL KEEP OUR THUMBS UP.
314
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:05,400
THERE'S QUITE A FEW MUSKRAT
HOUSES RIGHT IN THIS LITTLE
315
00:15:05,433 --> 00:15:08,333
SECTION, MIGHT
BE A TOTAL BUST.
316
00:15:08,366 --> 00:15:11,566
YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY.
317
00:15:19,066 --> 00:15:22,600
I'M GONNA TRY AND
PUT A SET IN HERE.
318
00:15:29,433 --> 00:15:32,533
I'M GONNA GO GRAB SOME
CATTAILS, TOO, I THINK.
319
00:15:32,566 --> 00:15:33,933
IF I THROW THOSE ON
THERE, THAT WILL HELP.
320
00:15:33,966 --> 00:15:36,533
IT'S BEEN A STRANGE YEAR.
321
00:15:36,566 --> 00:15:38,400
VERY LITTLE SNOW.
322
00:15:38,433 --> 00:15:40,766
VERY WARM TEMPERATURES
FOR THE MOST PART.
323
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,966
IT'S REALLY KIND OF SCREWED
UP THE WHOLE EFFORT TO GO
324
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,500
TRAPPING BECAUSE THERE'S
NO SNOW TO INSULATE
325
00:15:46,533 --> 00:15:49,333
THE ICE VERY WELL.
326
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:53,000
ALL RIGHT, I THINK I FEEL
PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THAT ONE.
327
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:57,633
THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS IS TO
CATCH FUR TO MAKE MITTENS FOR
328
00:15:57,666 --> 00:16:01,800
MY HAND, AND IT'S ALSO
SOME PRETTY DARN GOOD FOOD.
329
00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:09,900
THAT'S HOW THICK THE ICE IS.
330
00:16:09,933 --> 00:16:11,166
NOT GOOD.
331
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,933
BUT, THE FACT THAT THESE
HOLES ARE OPEN IS A HECK
332
00:16:13,966 --> 00:16:17,366
OF A GOOD SIGN.
333
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,100
I PROBABLY HAVE A PRETTY
NARROW WINDOW OF TIME.
334
00:16:20,133 --> 00:16:21,000
CAN'T IMAGINE I'M
GONNA GET TOO MANY
335
00:16:21,033 --> 00:16:23,466
MORE DAYS OF TRAPPING,
336
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:25,433
SO I'M GONNA TRY AND
MAXIMIZE IT PRETTY GOOD
337
00:16:25,466 --> 00:16:27,366
IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO
BECAUSE I THINK MY DAYS ARE
338
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,766
NUMBERED WITH THIS
PARTICULAR RESOURCE.
339
00:16:30,266 --> 00:16:33,166
LAST TRAP OF THE DAY.
340
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:38,133
SO MY GLOVES ARE FROZEN SOLID.
341
00:16:38,166 --> 00:16:40,933
THE FINGERS INSIDE ARE
STARTING TO GET THAT WAY.
342
00:16:40,966 --> 00:16:42,533
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO HOME.
343
00:16:42,566 --> 00:16:43,733
ATTABOYS.
344
00:16:43,766 --> 00:16:47,533
I'M COUNTING ON THESE MUSKRATS
TO BE ACTIVE AND HUNGRY.
345
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:56,600
JESSIE HOLMES: MUSHING IS NOT
JUST A WINTER SPORT FOR ME,
346
00:16:56,633 --> 00:16:57,700
IT'S A LIFE.
347
00:16:57,733 --> 00:16:59,200
IT'S WHAT I DO EVERY DAY.
348
00:16:59,233 --> 00:17:02,733
AND THIS IS WHAT I
DO 365 DAYS A YEAR.
349
00:17:12,833 --> 00:17:15,566
IT'S TIME TO GET THE DOGS
LOADED UP AND ALL MY STUFF
350
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,266
PACKED UP AND TRAVEL
DOWN TO CANTWELL.
351
00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:20,433
NARRATOR: AFTER MONTHS
OF RELENTLESS TRAINING,
352
00:17:20,465 --> 00:17:22,700
TOMORROW WILL BE THE FIRST
SLED DOG RACE OF THE SEASON
353
00:17:22,733 --> 00:17:26,032
FOR JESSIE HOLMES AND HIS
TEAM OF ALASKAN HUSKIES.
354
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:28,966
JESSIE HOLMES: TODAY IS
A DAY OF NERVES FOR ME.
355
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,300
AND I'M ALWAYS THIS
WAY BEFORE A RACE.
356
00:17:30,333 --> 00:17:31,800
ONCE I PULL THE HOOK AND
I'M OUT THERE WITH THE DOGS,
357
00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:34,700
AND THEY'RE BOOTED UP
AND THEY'RE HARNESSED UP,
358
00:17:34,733 --> 00:17:36,366
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
359
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,166
BUT THERE'S JUST SO MUCH TO
GET READY THAT IT'S A LITTLE
360
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,833
UNNERVING SOMETIMES.
361
00:17:42,866 --> 00:17:45,533
DOGS LOADED UP, HIT THE ROAD.
362
00:17:46,266 --> 00:17:49,133
SIXTEEN DOGS IS
A TON OF POWER.
363
00:17:49,166 --> 00:17:51,133
IT'S LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN.
364
00:17:51,166 --> 00:17:53,100
THEY GOT A LOT OF ENERGY,
THEY'RE READY TO GO.
365
00:17:55,866 --> 00:17:56,866
YOU KNOW, THE
WORK'S BEEN DONE.
366
00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:58,800
IT'S TIME TO GO SEE
HOW THE DOGS DO,
367
00:17:58,833 --> 00:18:01,100
AND THIS IS WHAT THEY LIVE
FOR AND WHAT I LIVE FOR, SO,
368
00:18:02,566 --> 00:18:04,666
IF IT'S SNOWING,
THEN I'M GOING.
369
00:18:05,266 --> 00:18:08,266
THE CONDITIONS ARE GONNA
BE PRETTY BAD DOWN THERE.
370
00:18:08,666 --> 00:18:10,466
THERE'S BEEN SNOW,
THERE'S DRIFTS.
371
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:12,333
IT'S PREDICTED TO BE 30 BELOW.
372
00:18:12,366 --> 00:18:14,666
GONNA BE 90 MILES TO THE
STARTING LINE DOWN PAST
373
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,633
CANTWELL, GOING DOWN
TO DO THE 65-MILE RACE.
374
00:18:17,666 --> 00:18:18,633
I DID IT LAST YEAR.
375
00:18:18,666 --> 00:18:20,066
I DIDN'T COME IN SO WELL.
376
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,266
THIS YEAR, WITH THE MORE
MATURE DOG TEAM THAT I'VE
377
00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:25,966
WORKED WITH LONGER, I FEEL
CONFIDENT AND I'M GOING THERE
378
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,066
TO TRY TO BE A
CONTENDER IN THIS RACE,
379
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:31,133
WHICH WOULD MEAN TO ME
BEING IN THE TOP THREE.
380
00:18:31,166 --> 00:18:33,566
THIS IS 65 MILES OF
MOUNTAINOUS TRAILS.
381
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,066
IF I CAN KEEP THE DOGS MOVING
REALLY GOOD ON THE UPHILLS,
382
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:39,800
I THINK I CAN GET FIVE
HOURS ON THIS RACE.
383
00:18:40,233 --> 00:18:42,466
THAT WOULD BE RIGHT AT
AROUND 12 MILES AN HOUR.
384
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:45,066
I THINK THAT'S A
VERY REALISTIC TIME.
385
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,066
THE DOGS ARE READY.
386
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:48,566
WE PUT THE HARD TRAINING IN.
387
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,000
I FEEL CONFIDENT IN THEM
THAT WE CAN PUSH HARD AND
388
00:18:51,033 --> 00:18:52,366
GIVE 100% OUT THERE.
389
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,533
SO, NO MATTER WHAT, HOW I
PLACE, IF I PLACE THIRD PLACE,
390
00:18:55,566 --> 00:18:57,000
I'M GONNA BE HAPPY
BECAUSE WE'RE OUT THERE,
391
00:18:57,033 --> 00:19:00,533
WE'RE GIVING IT ALL WE GOT,
AND WE'RE GETTING BETTER EVERY
392
00:19:00,566 --> 00:19:02,633
TIME WE RACE.
393
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,966
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE HERE
IN THE DENALI HIGHWAY.
394
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,133
FIRST THING I GOT TO
DO IS GET THESE DOGS OUT,
395
00:19:09,166 --> 00:19:10,066
LET 'EM RUN AROUND,
CHECK 'EM OUT,
396
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:12,166
MAKE SURE THEY'RE DOING GOOD.
397
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,400
WE'RE HERE EARLY, WE
GOT PLENTY OF TIME.
398
00:19:14,433 --> 00:19:15,866
I GOT A GOOD TIME TO
GET A GOOD REST TONIGHT.
399
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:18,133
THESE DOGS LOOK GREAT.
400
00:19:18,166 --> 00:19:19,633
WE'RE READY TO RACE, MAN.
401
00:19:19,666 --> 00:19:23,166
I'M THE ONLY RACER HERE RIGHT
NOW, AND I'M THAT MUCH AHEAD,
402
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,766
BECAUSE I'M HERE
AND I'M READY TO GO.
403
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,833
I'M TURNING IN FOR THE NIGHT,
AND TOMORROW'S A NEW DAY.
404
00:19:28,866 --> 00:19:30,866
TOMORROW'S OUR DAY TO
SHOW ALL THE HARD WORK THAT
405
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:32,300
WE'VE DONE THIS WINTER.
406
00:19:32,333 --> 00:19:35,033
I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO TRY
TO QUIET MY MIND, AND WIND DOWN,
407
00:19:35,066 --> 00:19:36,133
AND GET SOME
MUCH NEEDED SLEEP.
408
00:19:36,166 --> 00:19:38,100
I'M GONNA NEED
THAT ENERGY RUNNING UP
409
00:19:38,133 --> 00:19:40,266
THESE HILLS TOMORROW.
410
00:19:47,533 --> 00:19:49,166
GLENN VILLENEUVE: ONE THING
I'VE LEARNED OVER THE YEARS,
411
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,033
PERSISTENCE AND
PATIENCE PAY OFF.
412
00:19:51,066 --> 00:19:54,266
OUT HERE, YOU CAN'T
EXPECT INSTANT RESULTS.
413
00:20:03,933 --> 00:20:06,300
♪ ♪
414
00:20:06,333 --> 00:20:07,533
I'M GETTING CLOSE NOW.
415
00:20:07,566 --> 00:20:10,200
THIS IS WHERE I FOUND
THE BEAVERS LAST SPRING.
416
00:20:10,233 --> 00:20:12,400
RIGHT UP HERE.
417
00:20:14,266 --> 00:20:16,600
NARRATOR: GLENN HAS HIKED
SEVEN MILES FROM HIS CABIN TO
418
00:20:16,633 --> 00:20:19,100
SET SNARES FOR BEAVER,
AN ANIMAL THAT PROVIDES
419
00:20:19,133 --> 00:20:20,533
VITAL MEAT AND FUR.
420
00:20:21,233 --> 00:20:24,333
BUT WITH TEMPERATURES
AT 40 DEGREES BELOW ZERO,
421
00:20:24,366 --> 00:20:26,900
IF HE BECOMES TOO WEARY
TO MAKE THE JOURNEY HOME,
422
00:20:27,266 --> 00:20:29,033
HE'LL BE FORCED
TO FIND SHELTER IN
423
00:20:29,066 --> 00:20:31,133
BONE CHILLING CONDITIONS.
424
00:20:31,733 --> 00:20:33,300
GLENN VILLENEUVE: NOW
I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
425
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:35,533
SOMETIMES, THERE
CAN BE THIN ICE.
426
00:20:35,566 --> 00:20:37,433
THE BEAVERS ARE COMING OUT
OF THEIR LODGE AND THEY'RE
427
00:20:37,466 --> 00:20:38,700
SWIMMING AROUND UNDER THE ICE.
428
00:20:38,733 --> 00:20:40,833
A LOT OF TIMES, THEY'LL
GO IN THE SAME PATH BACK
429
00:20:40,866 --> 00:20:42,766
AND FORTH TO THEIR FOOD PILE.
430
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,900
AND THE ICE THERE WILL
BE REAL THIN WHERE THEY'RE
431
00:20:44,933 --> 00:20:47,166
BLOWING UP THE AIR BUBBLES.
432
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,633
THIS IS THE BEAVER LODGE.
433
00:20:48,666 --> 00:20:51,033
IT'S JUST A DOME-SHAPED HOUSE
BUILT OUT OF STICKS AND MUD,
434
00:20:52,333 --> 00:20:55,700
AND THEY HAVE A TUNNEL
UNDERNEATH THE ICE HERE.
435
00:20:55,733 --> 00:20:58,566
RIGHT HERE, I'M GONNA
CHISEL A HOLE, PUT MY BAIT,
436
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,766
AND SET MY SNARES.
437
00:21:02,566 --> 00:21:05,333
IF I CATCH A GOOD BEAVER
IN HERE, IT'LL GIVE ME FUR,
438
00:21:05,366 --> 00:21:07,300
AND IT'LL GIVE
ME MEAT AND FAT.
439
00:21:07,333 --> 00:21:09,066
BEAVER ARE A VERY
USEFUL ANIMAL,
440
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:10,266
BUT THEY'RE NOT VERY
COMMON IN THIS COUNTRY.
441
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:13,400
YOU GOT TO LOOK LONG
AND HARD TO FIND ONE.
442
00:21:16,866 --> 00:21:18,933
THERE, I HIT WATER.
443
00:21:19,133 --> 00:21:21,433
YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.
444
00:21:21,933 --> 00:21:23,200
WHOO.
445
00:21:23,233 --> 00:21:24,766
A LOT OF WORK CHISELING
A HOLE THROUGH THIS ICE.
446
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,966
THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT TO DO
IF YOU WANNA CATCH A BEAVER.
447
00:21:28,166 --> 00:21:29,133
I NEED TO GET SOME
SPRUCE POLES THEN I CAN SET
448
00:21:29,166 --> 00:21:31,300
THE SNARE THERE.
449
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:35,400
I'D LIKE TO GET A DEAD SPRUCE
TREE THAT I CAN PUT DOWN IN
450
00:21:35,433 --> 00:21:38,066
THERE, AND ATTACH MY BAIT TO.
451
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,633
BEAVER LIVE ON BARK,
AND IN THE WINTERTIME,
452
00:21:46,666 --> 00:21:49,966
THEY HAVE STICKS THAT THEY'VE
STORED UNDERNEATH THE ICE.
453
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,800
HERE'S MY ASPEN BAIT.
454
00:21:51,833 --> 00:21:53,266
BEAVER REALLY LIKE ASPEN.
455
00:21:53,300 --> 00:21:56,633
WHEN THE BEAVERS SMELL THIS,
IT'S GONNA BE LIKE A DELICACY,
456
00:21:56,666 --> 00:21:58,000
AND HOPEFULLY, THEY'RE GONNA
COME OVER AND GET CAUGHT IN
457
00:21:58,033 --> 00:22:01,266
ONE OF MY SNARES WHEN
THEY TRY TO GET IT.
458
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,266
ALL RIGHT, THERE'S MY BAIT.
459
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:06,333
NOW, I'LL PUT IT
DOWN IN THE WATER.
460
00:22:06,633 --> 00:22:10,366
AND NOW, I'M GOING TO
MAKE A CROSS RIGHT HERE,
461
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,433
AND HANG MY SNARES
DOWN IN THE WATER RIGHT
462
00:22:12,466 --> 00:22:13,266
AROUND THE BAIT.
463
00:22:13,300 --> 00:22:15,400
HERE ARE MY SNARES.
464
00:22:15,433 --> 00:22:16,933
THIS LOOP OF WIRE RIGHT
HERE IS JUST THE RIGHT SIZE
465
00:22:16,966 --> 00:22:19,200
TO CATCH A BEAVER.
466
00:22:19,233 --> 00:22:20,766
WHEN I PUT IT DOWN
THERE BY THE BAIT,
467
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,400
THE BEAVER COMES SWIMMING
ALONG, SWIMS THROUGH THIS,
468
00:22:25,433 --> 00:22:27,100
AND GETS CAUGHT.
469
00:22:33,933 --> 00:22:36,000
THERE, OKAY, I GOT
FOUR SNARES ON HERE NOW,
470
00:22:36,033 --> 00:22:39,166
AND NOW I'M GONNA LOWER
ALL FOUR SNARES DOWN
471
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,066
INTO THE WATER.
472
00:22:42,733 --> 00:22:44,566
I GOT MY SNARES SET.
473
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,800
I'M TOO TIRED TO WALK
ALL THE WAY BACK TO CAMP.
474
00:22:46,833 --> 00:22:48,233
I'LL SPEND THE
NIGHT RIGHT HERE.
475
00:22:48,266 --> 00:22:49,966
I'LL BUILD MYSELF A SHELTER,
AND THEN I CAN CHECK THIS IN
476
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,166
THE MORNING BEFORE
I HEAD BACK TO CAMP.
477
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:56,733
SUE AIKENS: YOU KNOW, NATURE
NEVER REALLY GIVES UP HER
478
00:22:56,766 --> 00:22:58,033
PRIZES WILLINGLY.
479
00:22:58,066 --> 00:23:00,533
YOU'VE GOT TO WORK FOR
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF 'EM.
480
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:08,000
ANOTHER BIG DAY FOR
THE SHEEPIE HUNT AND
481
00:23:08,033 --> 00:23:10,966
SUE'S ARCTIC EXTRAVAGANZA.
482
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,800
YESTERDAY, I TRIED TO GET ON
THE SHEEP THAT WERE OVER HERE
483
00:23:12,833 --> 00:23:17,066
TO THE NORTH ON THE HILL,
BUT LOTS OF WATER EVERYWHERE.
484
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:19,766
I COULD NOT CROSS
THIS WAY, BACKTRACKED,
485
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,300
GOT A LITTLE FURTHER,
COULD NOT CROSS AGAIN.
486
00:23:22,333 --> 00:23:25,933
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET
THROUGH SO MANY DEEP CHANNELS
487
00:23:25,966 --> 00:23:27,366
OF THE RIVER TO GET TO 'EM.
488
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,833
IF I LOOK ON THE TOPO MAP,
WHAT YOU SEE DOWN THERE,
489
00:23:29,866 --> 00:23:34,166
IT'S A BIG HILL, AND I'VE
GOT TO JUST KIND OF SCALE IT.
490
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,066
NEW AREA.
491
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:39,533
NEW DAY.
492
00:23:39,566 --> 00:23:41,566
HOPEFULLY, NEW LUCK.
493
00:23:42,866 --> 00:23:46,100
SO TODAY'S GOAL
IS TO GO SOUTH.
494
00:23:46,133 --> 00:23:47,733
NARRATOR: WITH
TEMPERATURES DROPPING,
495
00:23:47,766 --> 00:23:50,666
SUE'S DAYS IN THE
REFUGE COULD BE LIMITED,
496
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:51,900
AND SHE MUST TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY
497
00:23:51,933 --> 00:23:54,333
TO HUNT SHEEP.
498
00:23:54,366 --> 00:23:56,433
SUE AIKENS: THIS IS
NOT A TERRAIN I DEAL MUCH
499
00:23:56,466 --> 00:23:57,866
WITH IN KAVIK.
500
00:23:57,900 --> 00:24:00,433
BUT IT'S WHAT I'VE GOT TO DEAL
WITH IF I WANNA TRY AND FIND
501
00:24:00,466 --> 00:24:03,600
SHEEP OR ANYTHING ELSE.
502
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,933
PART OF THIS TRIP IS
FOR ME TO EXAMINE WHERE
503
00:24:10,966 --> 00:24:12,233
I'M AT IN LIFE.
504
00:24:12,266 --> 00:24:13,933
DO WE NOT ALL DO THAT?
505
00:24:13,966 --> 00:24:15,866
I'M FAT, FIFTIES,
AND OUT OF SHAPE.
506
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:17,000
CAN I EVEN MAKE IT
UP THE SCREE FIELD?
507
00:24:17,033 --> 00:24:19,166
CAN I SKIRT AROUND IT?
508
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,166
SHEEP LIVE HIGH.
509
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,000
THEY DON'T USUALLY LIVE LOW.
510
00:24:23,266 --> 00:24:26,900
AND IN THIS ROCKY CRAG SYSTEM
UP HERE, RIGHT UP THERE,
511
00:24:26,933 --> 00:24:29,033
I THOUGHT I SAW
A BIG OLD SHEEPIE.
512
00:24:29,066 --> 00:24:31,166
SO, I'M TRYING
TO GET UP THERE.
513
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,600
HE'S GOT NOWHERE
ELSE TO GO BUT DOWN,
514
00:24:33,633 --> 00:24:36,766
SO IF HE IS UP THERE,
MAYBE I'LL, MAYBE I'LL GET HIM.
515
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,366
FOR HUNTERS, IT
IS THE PINNACLE.
516
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,600
IT IS THE ANIMAL YOU PIT
YOURSELF AGAINST WHEN YOU
517
00:24:42,633 --> 00:24:44,900
WANNA KNOW YOUR
INTELLIGENCE LEVEL.
518
00:24:44,933 --> 00:24:48,500
YOUR ABILITY TO
OUTGUESS YOUR OPPONENT.
519
00:24:48,533 --> 00:24:50,000
(BLEEP).
520
00:24:54,833 --> 00:24:56,866
THOUGHT I HEARD HIM.
521
00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:58,466
HE'S RIGHT UP THERE.
522
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:01,300
I DON'T KNOW THAT
I CAN, I DON'T,
523
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:05,200
THERE'S NOWHERE
FOR ME TO PUT THIS.
524
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,600
[GUNSHOT]
525
00:25:21,633 --> 00:25:22,600
[GUNSHOT]
526
00:25:22,633 --> 00:25:24,133
(BLEEP).
527
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,766
[GUNSHOT]
528
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,266
SUE AIKENS: (BLEEP).
529
00:25:37,433 --> 00:25:39,166
[GUNSHOT]
530
00:25:44,133 --> 00:25:48,166
WELL, THAT BLOWS THAT ONE.
531
00:25:48,766 --> 00:25:49,900
I THINK MY SHEEP
ARE LONG GONE.
532
00:25:49,933 --> 00:25:53,033
I GET FRUSTRATED.
533
00:25:54,966 --> 00:25:57,433
AND I KNEW I SAW THE
DAMN SHEEP UP THERE,
534
00:25:57,466 --> 00:25:59,966
AND I TRIED TO SHOOT
HIM, AND I WAS JUST THAT
535
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,833
LITTLE TINY BIT OFF.
536
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,000
SEEMS LIKE I GET THWARTED
EVERY (BLEEP) CHANCE I GET.
537
00:26:09,633 --> 00:26:10,900
ONE OF THE SMARTEST
DAMN ANIMALS,
538
00:26:10,933 --> 00:26:13,733
AND MAJESTIC ANIMALS
ON THE PLANET,
539
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:20,400
AND I GET THREE SHOTS
OFF ON HIM, AND, IN THE END,
540
00:26:20,833 --> 00:26:24,133
THIS COUNTRY IS GONNA
WIN IF I DON'T GET MY ASS
541
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:25,733
DOWN THE HILL.
542
00:26:25,766 --> 00:26:26,900
WHAT AM I FACING?
543
00:26:26,933 --> 00:26:28,366
THE SUN IS GOING DOWN.
544
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,300
IT IS GETTING MARKEDLY COLDER.
545
00:26:29,333 --> 00:26:32,133
THIS IS ICY, IT IS DANGEROUS.
546
00:26:32,166 --> 00:26:33,000
THE SHEEP ARE GONNA
LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY,
547
00:26:33,033 --> 00:26:35,000
I'VE GOT TO AS WELL.
548
00:26:35,033 --> 00:26:38,466
HUNTING IS ABOUT THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT,
549
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:40,100
NOT THE GUARANTEE THAT
YOU'RE GONNA GET IT.
550
00:26:43,833 --> 00:26:45,766
ANDY BASSICH: IT'S A
NEVER-ENDING LEARNING PROCESS
551
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,600
AND A NEVER-ENDING QUEST TO
USE THE RESOURCES AROUND HERE
552
00:26:50,633 --> 00:26:52,966
TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT,
AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE
553
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,100
LIVING OUT HERE.
554
00:27:03,666 --> 00:27:07,266
♪ ♪
555
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:09,766
TODAY, I'M JUST GONNA
TAKE MY PUPPIES BACK TO THE
556
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,666
LAKE TO CHECK MUSKRAT SETS.
557
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:15,133
I'VE GOT ABOUT SIX MUSKRAT
SETS ALREADY MADE YESTERDAY.
558
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,266
COUPLE OF 'EM LOOKED
REALLY PROMISING,
559
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:19,666
THE HOLES WERE STILL OPEN.
560
00:27:19,700 --> 00:27:21,833
I'M REALLY HOPING I'M GONNA
PULL A FEW MUSKRATS OUT
561
00:27:21,866 --> 00:27:22,833
OF THE ICE.
562
00:27:22,866 --> 00:27:24,066
COME HERE, KRUG.
563
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:26,000
I'M GONNA GO HARNESS
UP KRUGGERAND.
564
00:27:26,033 --> 00:27:27,533
I'M GONNA GATHER
UP THE PUPPIES.
565
00:27:27,566 --> 00:27:29,033
I'M GONNA GO BACK TO THE
LAKE, CHECK THE TRAPS,
566
00:27:29,066 --> 00:27:33,300
AND HOPEFULLY, COME HOME WITH
SOME MUSKRAT FOR MUSKRAT STEW
567
00:27:33,333 --> 00:27:35,066
AND MUSKRAT MITTENS.
568
00:27:35,533 --> 00:27:38,833
YEAH, LOOK, ATTABOY, GOOD BOY.
569
00:27:39,133 --> 00:27:41,800
MY DOG KENNEL'S DOWN TO
10 WORKING DOGS RIGHT NOW.
570
00:27:41,833 --> 00:27:44,766
COUPLE OF 'EM ARE GETTING
OLD AND WILL RETIRE SOON,
571
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,866
SO I JUST ADDED TWO NEW
PUPPIES TO THE MIX THIS YEAR.
572
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:49,500
YEAH, GOOD JOB.
573
00:27:49,533 --> 00:27:51,000
THIS YEAR IS KIND OF UNIQUE
IN THAT I DON'T HAVE MUCH SNOW
574
00:27:51,033 --> 00:27:53,366
FOR TRAINING THE DOGS.
575
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,633
IT'S REALLY THROWING
A MONKEY WRENCH INTO
576
00:27:55,666 --> 00:27:56,700
MY TRAINING EFFORTS,
577
00:27:56,733 --> 00:27:59,566
SO WHAT I'M DOING IS I'M
CUTTING MY DOGS LOOSE AND
578
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,433
I'M JUST GOING FOR
WALKS ALONG THE RIVER,
579
00:28:02,466 --> 00:28:03,866
OUT ON THE LAKE,
580
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:06,833
AND IT'S PRETTY
MUCH JUST PLAYTIME.
581
00:28:07,166 --> 00:28:08,466
LOOK AT THEM PUPPERS.
582
00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:10,733
THEY SAY, "OH, THERE
IS A MUSKRAT IN THERE.
583
00:28:10,766 --> 00:28:12,200
THERE'S A MUSKRAT IN THERE."
584
00:28:12,233 --> 00:28:15,000
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IF
WE GOT A MUSKRAT IN HERE.
585
00:28:15,033 --> 00:28:17,866
UH-OH, I DON'T KNOW.
586
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,633
WHOA, IT GOT SNAPPED,
BUT NOTHING GOT CAUGHT.
587
00:28:23,666 --> 00:28:24,766
THAT'S A COOL SIGN.
588
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,566
I LIKE THE FACT THAT
SOMETHING SET THAT TRAP OFF.
589
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,400
MEANS THEY'RE HUNGRY
AND THEY'RE OUT.
590
00:28:30,433 --> 00:28:31,866
THAT TRAP, IT WAS
QUITE A WAYS DOWN,
591
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:33,700
SO I THINK I'M GONNA MOVE IT
UP TO WHERE IT'S RIGHT AT THE
592
00:28:33,733 --> 00:28:37,233
BOTTOM OF THE ICE, AND THEN
THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
593
00:28:37,266 --> 00:28:39,300
TRAP TO COME OUT OF THE HOLE.
594
00:28:39,333 --> 00:28:42,666
ALL RIGHT, LIKE THAT.
595
00:28:42,933 --> 00:28:46,533
ONTO THE NEXT ONE.
596
00:28:47,133 --> 00:28:48,933
GIVE ME SOME
MUSKRAT LOVE HERE.
597
00:28:48,966 --> 00:28:51,566
IT FEELS PRETTY LIGHT.
598
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,600
NOPE, THAT ONE
DIDN'T GET SET OFF.
599
00:28:53,633 --> 00:28:55,200
OH, DID IT?
600
00:28:55,233 --> 00:28:56,200
YEAH, IT DID.
601
00:28:56,233 --> 00:28:58,200
THAT ONE GOT SET OFF, TOO.
602
00:28:58,233 --> 00:29:02,800
TWO TRAPS CHECKED, TWO
TRAPS SET OFF, NO FUR.
603
00:29:02,833 --> 00:29:05,466
SO, I'M GONNA GO
ONTO THE NEXT ONES.
604
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:13,333
NOTHING.
605
00:29:13,366 --> 00:29:15,000
GOT SET OFF AGAIN THOUGH.
606
00:29:15,033 --> 00:29:18,300
DEFINITELY COMING
INTO THESE SETS.
607
00:29:18,333 --> 00:29:19,933
I THINK I MIGHT SWITCH
THIS ONE UP WITH A LEG-HOLD
608
00:29:19,966 --> 00:29:22,200
TRAP THIS TIME.
609
00:29:22,233 --> 00:29:25,400
SAME IDEA AS THE CONIBEARS,
ONLY THE TRAPS WILL BE SET
610
00:29:25,433 --> 00:29:27,766
PRETTY CLOSE TO THE
TOP OF THE WATER.
611
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,133
IT'S HUMBLING TO BE OUTSMARTED
BY A MUSKRAT, THAT'S FOR SURE.
612
00:29:31,433 --> 00:29:34,933
BUT EVERYTHING ABOUT LIVING
OUT HERE IS HUMBLING.
613
00:29:35,166 --> 00:29:36,233
CLOSE THIS ONE UP.
614
00:29:36,266 --> 00:29:39,100
SEE IF I CAN OUTSMART
'EM TOMORROW.
615
00:29:39,300 --> 00:29:43,566
SO FAR, IT'S MUSKRATS
THREE, AND ANDY ZIP.
616
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:46,900
NOTHING.
617
00:29:47,833 --> 00:29:50,933
LOTS OF DEBRIS COMING UP
THROUGH, BUT NO MUSKRATS.
618
00:29:51,833 --> 00:29:54,566
SO IT'S KIND OF FRUSTRATING
THAT I'M GETTING OUTSMARTED BY
619
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,133
A MUSKRAT, BUT THE FACT
THAT I'M GETTING OUTSMARTED
620
00:29:57,166 --> 00:29:59,333
BY A MUSKRAT MEANS THAT
THEY'RE THERE.
621
00:29:59,366 --> 00:30:01,633
IT MEANS SOONER OR LATER,
I'M GONNA CONNECT HERE.
622
00:30:01,666 --> 00:30:03,333
I THINK I MIGHT
DOUBLE SET THIS ONE.
623
00:30:03,366 --> 00:30:05,600
I THINK I MIGHT PUT THE
CONIBEAR DOWN AT THE BOTTOM
624
00:30:05,633 --> 00:30:07,933
AND THEN I'LL PUT THE
FOOTHOLD TRAP UP NEAR THE TOP.
625
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,033
DOUBLE MY CHANCES HERE.
626
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:16,233
SURE WISH I COULD CURL UP
ON A COLD LAKE LIKE THAT.
627
00:30:16,266 --> 00:30:18,866
OH, YOU GUYS LOOK PRETTY
COMFORTABLE THERE.
628
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:21,700
EVERYBODY'S PILED
UP ON EACH OTHER.
629
00:30:21,733 --> 00:30:23,433
LET'S PILE UP AND GO HOME.
630
00:30:23,466 --> 00:30:24,866
WE GOT SKUNKED.
631
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:26,000
STRAIGHT AHEAD, LET'S GO.
632
00:30:26,033 --> 00:30:28,600
HAW, HAW.
633
00:30:28,633 --> 00:30:30,666
ATTABOYS, STRAIGHT AHEAD.
634
00:30:32,333 --> 00:30:33,566
GLENN VILLENEUVE:
WHEN I'VE BEEN OUT HERE,
635
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,733
AND SOME MISFORTUNE
HAS BEFALLEN ME,
636
00:30:35,766 --> 00:30:38,233
AND I'VE BEEN ABLE TO OVERCOME
IT AND DEAL WITH IT MYSELF,
637
00:30:38,266 --> 00:30:40,733
I FIND THAT SATISFYING.
638
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,833
IT'S GETTING COLDER.
639
00:30:46,866 --> 00:30:49,100
IT'S DOWN TO 44 BELOW NOW.
640
00:30:49,133 --> 00:30:51,133
IT'S GONNA BE A COLD NIGHT.
641
00:30:51,166 --> 00:30:53,133
I'VE GOT TO FIND A
PLACE TO MAKE A SHELTER.
642
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,200
IT'S SIX OR SEVEN
MILES BACK HOME.
643
00:30:55,233 --> 00:30:57,833
I DON'T HAVE ENERGY TO
WALK THAT FAR TONIGHT.
644
00:30:57,866 --> 00:31:01,766
RIGHT UP HERE, I BUILT THIS
LITTLE SPRUCE POLE TEEPEE
645
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,033
SHELTER UP HERE LAST SPRING.
646
00:31:04,066 --> 00:31:05,400
THERE IT IS.
647
00:31:05,433 --> 00:31:07,166
IT'S STILL STANDING,
THAT'S GOOD.
648
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,033
IT'S NOT REALLY GOOD
FOR COLD WEATHER,
649
00:31:09,066 --> 00:31:10,000
BUT MAYBE I CAN USE
THE MATERIALS IN IT.
650
00:31:10,033 --> 00:31:11,866
I'M GLAD I FOUND THIS PLACE.
651
00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:14,000
I BUILT THIS LITTLE SHELTER
LAST SPRING WHEN I WAS
652
00:31:14,033 --> 00:31:15,300
EXPLORING THE AREA BY CANOE.
653
00:31:15,333 --> 00:31:16,800
IT'S GONNA COME
IN HANDY TONIGHT.
654
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:18,266
IT'S GETTING BRUTALLY COLD.
655
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:20,866
IT'S DOWN TO 44 BELOW,
AND I'VE GOTTA SPEND THE
656
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:22,300
NIGHT OUT HERE.
657
00:31:22,333 --> 00:31:24,133
I DID BRING MY SLEEPING BAG,
BUT I DON'T HAVE MUCH ELSE.
658
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:27,066
I'LL HAVE TO MODIFY THIS.
659
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:27,966
FIRST OF ALL,
I DEFINITELY WANNA BE ABLE
660
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
TO CLOSE THIS OFF.
661
00:31:30,033 --> 00:31:32,300
I WANNA BE ABLE TO KEEP
SOME HEAT IN THERE.
662
00:31:34,633 --> 00:31:38,666
EVERY TIME I EXHALE, I CAN
HEAR MY BREATH FREEZING.
663
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,900
I'M GONNA HAVE TO MAKE USE
OF SOME NATURAL MATERIALS.
664
00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:45,466
LOOKING AROUND FOR
SOME SPRUCE TREES.
665
00:31:45,833 --> 00:31:48,133
HERE'S ONE I CAN USE.
666
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,433
[SAWING]
667
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,766
OKAY.
668
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,466
I GOT ENOUGH
SPRUCE TREES ON IT.
669
00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:07,000
NOW, I'LL JUST SHOVEL
A LITTLE MORE SNOW.
670
00:32:07,033 --> 00:32:08,566
SNOW IS A REALLY
GOOD INSULATOR,
671
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,000
AND IT WILL BREAK THE WIND,
FILL SOME OF THE GAPS.
672
00:32:12,233 --> 00:32:14,633
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS
WHEN IT'S 44 BELOW.
673
00:32:14,666 --> 00:32:17,266
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT
YOU CAN USE OUT HERE WHEN YOU
674
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:18,433
NEED TO TO SURVIVE.
675
00:32:18,466 --> 00:32:21,500
A LITTLE BIT OF KNOWLEDGE
GOES A LONG WAYS.
676
00:32:21,533 --> 00:32:23,166
IF YOU CURLED UP UNDER A
SPRUCE TREE AND DIDN'T HAVE
677
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,700
ANY SHELTER, YOU
MIGHT FREEZE TO DEATH.
678
00:32:24,733 --> 00:32:28,433
SOMETIMES IT'S HAPPENED,
PEOPLE HAVE DIED OF EXPOSURE
679
00:32:28,466 --> 00:32:30,100
BECAUSE THEY JUST
DIDN'T REALIZE,
680
00:32:30,133 --> 00:32:31,866
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO
USE SIMPLE MATERIALS.
681
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:33,666
THE SPRUCE POLES, THE SNOW.
682
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:36,133
PUT IT TOGETHER THE RIGHT
WAY, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SURVIVE,
683
00:32:36,433 --> 00:32:38,066
EVEN WHEN IT'S 44 BELOW ZERO.
684
00:32:40,566 --> 00:32:42,433
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A LITTLE
KID GROWING UP IN VERMONT,
685
00:32:42,466 --> 00:32:45,000
SOMETIMES I'D GO OUT IN
THE WINTER AND I'D DIG INTO
686
00:32:45,033 --> 00:32:46,333
THE SNOW BANK
BESIDE THE HOUSE,
687
00:32:46,366 --> 00:32:50,700
MAKE A LITTLE SHELTER AND
SLEEP OUT THERE FOR A WHILE.
688
00:32:50,733 --> 00:32:52,800
NEVER KNEW I WAS GONNA BE
BUILDING SHELTERS LIKE THIS
689
00:32:52,833 --> 00:32:55,733
ALMOST 40 YEARS LATER.
690
00:32:55,766 --> 00:32:57,166
THERE.
691
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,200
I GOT ENOUGH SNOW ON IT
NOW, I'M READY TO MOVE IN.
692
00:33:02,533 --> 00:33:03,333
NICE.
693
00:33:03,366 --> 00:33:06,600
TIME TO GET SOME REST.
694
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,200
THE AIR IN THIS SLEEPING
BAG IS FORTY BELOW ZERO,
695
00:33:14,233 --> 00:33:17,400
BUT I'M STARTING TO
WARM IT UP WITH MY BODY.
696
00:33:19,966 --> 00:33:21,566
OH, I'M GLAD I
HAVE THIS SHELTER.
697
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,466
IF I WAS OUT IN THE OPEN,
IT'D JUST BE TORTUROUS.
698
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:26,333
I'LL GET UP TOMORROW,
CHECK MY SNARES,
699
00:33:26,366 --> 00:33:29,500
THEN HEAD BACK TO CAMP.
700
00:33:31,533 --> 00:33:33,800
JESSIE HOLMES: THERE'S NOT
A DAY IN DOG MUSHING WHERE
701
00:33:33,833 --> 00:33:35,033
YOU'RE NOT LEARNING SOMETHING.
702
00:33:35,066 --> 00:33:36,800
IF YOU'RE NOT LEARNING
SOMETHING EVERY DAY AS A
703
00:33:36,833 --> 00:33:39,066
DOG MUSHER, THEN
YOU'RE STAGNANT.
704
00:33:39,266 --> 00:33:41,566
YOU'RE NOT GROWING.
705
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,266
IT'S TIME TO GET THE
DOGS READY TO HOOK UP.
706
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:49,733
THE FIRST THING I'M GONNA
DO IS GET SOME BOOTS ON 'EM.
707
00:33:49,933 --> 00:33:51,733
NARRATOR: JESSIE HAS TRAVELED
90 MILES FROM HIS HOME IN
708
00:33:51,766 --> 00:33:55,866
NENANA TO CANTWELL, WHERE
HE'LL RUN HIS FIRST SLED DOG
709
00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:58,500
RACE OF THE SEASON.
710
00:33:58,533 --> 00:34:02,266
BUT AFTER REPAIRING HIS
SLED BRAKE AT THE 11TH HOUR,
711
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:05,433
JESSIE'S ABILITY TO CONTROL
THE POWER OF HIS 16-DOG TEAM
712
00:34:05,466 --> 00:34:08,065
WILL BE TESTED ON THE
FROZEN 65-MILE TRAIL.
713
00:34:09,333 --> 00:34:11,166
JESSIE HOLMES:
16-DOG LIMIT IN THIS RACE.
714
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,733
IN ALL HONESTY, THAT'S
PRETTY LARGE LIMIT FOR A
715
00:34:13,766 --> 00:34:16,500
SHORT RACE LIKE THIS.
716
00:34:16,533 --> 00:34:18,933
WHAT THAT DOES IS GIVES ME
AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING MY
717
00:34:18,966 --> 00:34:21,966
16 BEST DOGS AND THEN BENEFIT
FROM WORKING TOGETHER AND
718
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,933
TRAINING TOGETHER
AND RACING TOGETHER.
719
00:34:25,966 --> 00:34:27,132
BUT THEY'RE LOOKING GOOD.
720
00:34:27,166 --> 00:34:28,366
THEY'RE READY TO GO.
721
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,733
THEY'RE NOT WORRIED
ABOUT THE WIND.
722
00:34:29,766 --> 00:34:32,466
BUT I'M A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE
OF IT, IT'S PRETTY WINDY.
723
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:35,366
ALL RIGHT, STRAIGHT
AHEAD, STRAIGHT AHEAD.
724
00:34:44,466 --> 00:34:45,699
THERE'S A LOT OF POWER
IN THESE 16 DOGS.
725
00:34:45,733 --> 00:34:49,132
THEY'RE RUNNING REALLY
GOOD, RIGHT UP THE START.
726
00:34:50,033 --> 00:34:52,333
I TRAINED ALL WINTER FOR THIS.
727
00:34:52,366 --> 00:34:54,400
I FEEL LIKE THESE DOGS GOT
A GREAT SHOT AT WINNING THIS
728
00:34:54,433 --> 00:34:57,700
RACE IF I CAN JUST
MANAGE THEM CORRECTLY.
729
00:35:00,833 --> 00:35:04,266
WHOA, EASY, EASY!
730
00:35:04,966 --> 00:35:07,433
WE'RE COMING DOWN
SOME PRETTY BIG HILLS.
731
00:35:07,466 --> 00:35:08,800
THEY'RE REALLY
STEEP AND THE DOGS,
732
00:35:08,833 --> 00:35:11,766
I CAN'T REALLY GET ANY
BRAKING POWER WITH THE BRAKES,
733
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,133
HARD AS I'M STANDING ON IT,
734
00:35:13,166 --> 00:35:15,166
I CANNOT SLOW 'EM
DOWN ENOUGH.
735
00:35:17,966 --> 00:35:20,433
EASY.
736
00:35:20,766 --> 00:35:24,100
I JUST CAN'T SLOW THESE
DOGS DOWN ON THESE DOWNHILLS
737
00:35:24,133 --> 00:35:25,600
WITH THIS BRAKE.
738
00:35:25,633 --> 00:35:28,000
THEY'RE GOING 17, 18
MILES AN HOUR WHEN I NEED TO
739
00:35:28,033 --> 00:35:29,333
BE GOING 12.
740
00:35:29,366 --> 00:35:32,533
THIS COULD NOT WORK OUT
THAT GOOD BECAUSE STARTING
741
00:35:32,566 --> 00:35:35,033
OUT FAST USUALLY
EQUALS FINISHING SLOW.
742
00:35:36,666 --> 00:35:38,000
STRAIGHT AHEAD.
743
00:35:40,066 --> 00:35:42,033
MY GOAL WAS TO GO OUT
SLOW AND FINISH FAST.
744
00:35:43,333 --> 00:35:46,733
SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO JUST
GO FOR IT AT THIS POINT.
745
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,966
I'VE ALREADY PASSED THREE
TEAMS AND NOW I'M COMING UP ON
746
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,900
THE LEADER OF THE RACE.
747
00:35:58,933 --> 00:36:00,533
STRAIGHT AHEAD.
748
00:36:00,566 --> 00:36:02,600
RIGHT, STRAIGHT AHEAD.
749
00:36:02,633 --> 00:36:04,033
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
RIGHT, STRAIGHT AHEAD.
750
00:36:04,066 --> 00:36:07,100
STRAIGHT AHEAD, ALL RIGHT,
HEY, KNOCK THAT OFF.
751
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,900
JESSIE HOLMES: STRAIGHT
AHEAD, ALL RIGHT.
752
00:36:11,933 --> 00:36:13,433
HEY, KNOCK THAT OFF!
753
00:36:13,466 --> 00:36:14,433
GET UP THERE.
754
00:36:14,466 --> 00:36:16,566
STRAIGHT AHEAD.
755
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,466
HUP, YEAH!
756
00:36:30,866 --> 00:36:33,300
I'M NOT GONNA GIVE IT TO
MYSELF TILL THE FINISH LINE,
757
00:36:33,333 --> 00:36:35,566
BUT I GOT A LOT OF
CONFIDENCE IN THIS TEAM.
758
00:36:45,233 --> 00:36:46,700
THEY'RE DRIVING HARD.
759
00:36:46,733 --> 00:36:49,566
I'M SCARED TO DEATH BACK HERE,
JUST TRYING TO HANG ON TO 'EM,
760
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,966
AND THAT'S THE KIND
OF DOG TEAM I'VE ALWAYS
761
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,400
BEEN LOOKING TO HAVE.
762
00:36:52,433 --> 00:36:54,500
IF I DON'T HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF FEAR TRYING TO HANG ON TO
763
00:36:54,533 --> 00:36:56,000
THESE DOGS, THEN THEY'RE
NOT GONNA BE POWERFUL ENOUGH
764
00:36:56,033 --> 00:36:59,366
TO BE CHAMPIONS.
765
00:37:07,266 --> 00:37:10,166
GOOD DOGS, STRAIGHT AHEAD.
766
00:37:12,566 --> 00:37:15,066
MAN: THERE HE IS,
HERE THEY COME.
767
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:17,066
LOOK AT THAT, HERE THEY COME.
768
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:18,600
WHOO!
769
00:37:18,633 --> 00:37:22,000
ALL: YEAH!
770
00:37:22,033 --> 00:37:23,966
MAN: WHOO,
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!
771
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,433
MAN: YEAH, WHOO!
772
00:37:27,466 --> 00:37:31,866
JESSIE HOLMES:
HAW, WHOA, HAW, HAW.
773
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:33,133
MAN: WAY TO GO, JESSIE!
774
00:37:33,166 --> 00:37:35,633
YEAH, GOOD BOYS.
775
00:37:35,666 --> 00:37:39,800
JESSIE HOLMES:
I'M ABSOLUTELY, FLOORED.
776
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,866
LET'S GO PRAISE THE DOGS.
777
00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:45,933
HEY BOYS, GOOD JOB.
778
00:37:46,133 --> 00:37:48,233
HEY, GUESS WHAT?
779
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:51,266
YOU DID IT AGAIN,
YOU WON AGAIN.
780
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:52,966
ARE YOU THE WINNERS?
781
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,533
I HAD NO CHOICE
BUT TO START HARD,
782
00:37:54,566 --> 00:37:56,300
BECAUSE I COULDN'T SLOW
'EM DOWN DOWN THE HILLS.
783
00:37:56,333 --> 00:37:57,700
THINK WE WERE PROBABLY GOING
20 MILES AN HOUR SOME OF THOSE
784
00:37:57,733 --> 00:38:01,600
PLACES DOWN THE HILLS,
PASSING OTHER TEAMS.
785
00:38:01,633 --> 00:38:03,900
IN THE END, IT'S THE TRUST
OF THE DOGS THAT TOOK CARE
786
00:38:03,933 --> 00:38:06,533
OF ME, THEM TRUSTING ME.
787
00:38:06,566 --> 00:38:07,633
HEY, BOYS.
788
00:38:07,666 --> 00:38:08,633
I FEEL GREAT.
789
00:38:08,666 --> 00:38:09,900
I FEEL INVIGORATED.
790
00:38:09,933 --> 00:38:13,233
I GOT 16 DOGS THAT EXPERIENCE
A VICTORY IN WINNING,
791
00:38:13,266 --> 00:38:14,300
AND THAT'S GONNA
COUNT IN THE FUTURE.
792
00:38:14,333 --> 00:38:17,300
THESE DOGS KNOW THEY
WON, I KNOW THAT.
793
00:38:17,333 --> 00:38:20,066
THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL
DAY, NOT JUST A GOOD DAY.
794
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:22,700
THIS IS WHAT I CALL
A GOOD DAY TO DIE.
795
00:38:22,733 --> 00:38:25,933
TO ME, RACING IS
EMOTIONAL, IT'S SPIRITUAL.
796
00:38:25,966 --> 00:38:28,566
BECAUSE I'M OUT THERE WITH MY
DOGS AND THEY ARE MY FAMILY.
797
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,400
I FEEL LIKE I AM A
PART OF THE PACK.
798
00:38:30,433 --> 00:38:31,266
I'M THE COACH.
799
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:32,500
THEY'RE THE ATHLETES.
800
00:38:32,533 --> 00:38:34,166
THEY'RE THE ONES WITH
THE DESIRE TO WORK HARD.
801
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,933
THEY HAVE GREAT ATTITUDES,
ALASKAN HUSKIES.
802
00:38:36,966 --> 00:38:38,800
THEIR ATTITUDES HAVE
RUBBED OFF ON ME.
803
00:38:38,833 --> 00:38:40,933
I KNOW THESE DOGS ARE
CHAMPIONS AND THEN THEY GOT A
804
00:38:40,966 --> 00:38:44,000
CHANCE TO BE IN THE
WINNER'S CIRCLE.
805
00:38:44,666 --> 00:38:45,533
I'M DOING WHAT I LOVE.
806
00:38:45,566 --> 00:38:47,066
THE DOGS ARE DOING
WHAT THEY LOVE,
807
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,600
AND IT JUST DOESN'T GET
ANY BETTER THAN THAT.
808
00:38:48,633 --> 00:38:50,666
AND IF I DIED TODAY,
I'D BE HAPPY WITH ALL THE
809
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:54,566
WORK I PUT IN AND THE
DIRECTION I TOOK MY LIFE IN.
810
00:38:57,533 --> 00:38:59,000
GLENN VILLENEUVE: A LOT OF
PEOPLE THINK IT'S REALLY
811
00:38:59,033 --> 00:39:01,066
BOUNTIFUL BECAUSE
THEY'RE THINKING ALASKA,
812
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:02,533
THE WILDERNESS.
813
00:39:02,566 --> 00:39:04,100
THERE MUST BE A BEAR BEHIND
EVERY BUSH AND A MOOSE AROUND
814
00:39:04,133 --> 00:39:05,666
EVERY CORNER, IT'S
NOT LIKE THAT.
815
00:39:05,700 --> 00:39:08,433
GOT TO WALK MILES TO
FIND ANIMALS OUT HERE.
816
00:39:17,166 --> 00:39:20,066
COLD NIGHT OUT IN THE WOODS.
817
00:39:22,733 --> 00:39:24,133
LITTLE SHELTER SERVED ME WELL.
818
00:39:24,166 --> 00:39:25,233
MADE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.
819
00:39:25,266 --> 00:39:26,466
I GOT SOME GOOD REST.
820
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:29,366
NOW IT'S TIME TO GO
CHECK MY BEAVER SNARES.
821
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,500
IT'S JUST GETTING A LITTLE
LIGHT AND IT WON'T BE LONG
822
00:39:31,533 --> 00:39:33,133
BEFORE IT'S
GETTING DARK AGAIN.
823
00:39:33,166 --> 00:39:35,266
I GOTTA GO
CHECK THESE SNARES,
824
00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:37,300
THEN I'M GONNA
HEAD BACK TO MY CAMP.
825
00:39:37,333 --> 00:39:38,933
IF I'M LUCKY,
I'LL HAVE A BEAVER.
826
00:39:38,966 --> 00:39:43,300
HERE ARE MY BEAVER SNARES.
827
00:39:43,333 --> 00:39:45,133
DOWN HERE UNDER THE ICE.
828
00:39:45,166 --> 00:39:46,866
IT IS THE COLDEST, DARKEST
TIME OF THE YEAR AND IT'S A
829
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:49,166
PARTICULARLY COLD DAY.
830
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,366
IT'S 43 BELOW
ZERO RIGHT NOW.
831
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,066
NOT THE IDEAL CONDITION
FOR CHECKING BEAVER SNARES,
832
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,800
BUT OUT HERE, THAT'S
THE KIND OF THING YOU HAVE
833
00:39:56,833 --> 00:39:58,033
TO DEAL WITH.
834
00:39:58,066 --> 00:39:59,466
COLD WEATHER,
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT,
835
00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:02,066
THIS ISN'T THE PLACE FOR YOU.
836
00:40:13,766 --> 00:40:17,266
IT'S TIME TO HAVE A
LOOK AT THESE SNARES.
837
00:40:18,066 --> 00:40:20,833
SEE IF I GOT A BEAVER.
838
00:40:20,866 --> 00:40:21,866
NOPE.
839
00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:24,133
NOTHING.
840
00:40:24,166 --> 00:40:26,700
NO, DIDN'T CATCH ANYTHING.
841
00:40:29,433 --> 00:40:32,333
THE BEAUTY OF SNARES IS THAT
THEY'LL KEEP WORKING FOR ME AS
842
00:40:32,366 --> 00:40:34,000
LONG AS I LEAVE THEM SET.
843
00:40:34,033 --> 00:40:36,600
I CAN LEAVE IT THERE
AS LONG AS I WANT TO.
844
00:40:36,633 --> 00:40:39,166
SO I'M GONNA PUT THESE
SNARES BACK DOWN,
845
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,133
COVER IT BACK UP WITH SNOW,
AND THIS SNARE SET HERE WILL
846
00:40:42,166 --> 00:40:47,533
KEEP WORKING FOR ME.
847
00:40:51,166 --> 00:40:53,200
NOW I'LL BURY IT WITH SNOW
AND THE NEXT TIME I GO TO
848
00:40:53,233 --> 00:40:57,666
TAKE IT OUT, IT WON'T
BE BADLY FROZEN IN.

00:41:01,700 --> 00:41:03,066
GOT MY SNARES RESET.

FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT.
