Finding Nowhere

After a failed bear hunt, Ryan plans an end-of-summer mountain goat hunt where anything can go wrong. As fires rage across B.C., he scouts the route and preps the team, while Joel trains with Corlane's master gunsmiths to fire his first rifle.

Ryan, Joel, and Ryan's wife run a moose hunt along an iconic river, spending the night in a rotten cabin before an unexpected elk harvest. Meeting Bernard McCay, they explore B.C.'s LEH lottery and the trials of a first-time hunter.

To redeem last year's failed bear hunt, Ryan leads Joel into the challenging spring of Williams Lake and Horsefly. Lost in tough terrain, Joel faces his fear of bears and the sacred, complex balance of taking an animal for food.

Ryan tests Joel's progress with a spring foraging trip in Prince George with expert Jenifer Côtè. Fighting mosquitoes and grizzly sign, they trek to Cousin Eli's remote cabin and attempt to forage dinner-without picking the wrong plants.

Ryan forces Joel to face a freezing B.C. winter through ice fishing and trapping. With a stop at Barkerville Brewing and a visit to a remote trapline, they uncover the rules of trapping cabins and efforts to revive the region's caribou.

On Vancouver Island, Ryan shows Joel the ocean's rich bounty. In Ucluelet, they explore a fisherman's sacred balance-feeding families while protecting the sea-a balance often broken by commercial practices.

For his midterm exam, Ryan takes Joel to the Peace Region for an elk hunt. Battling brutal cold and elusive prey, Joel confronts the ethics of harvesting animals and the harsh, often heartbreaking realities of the wild.

Ryan and Joel head to Vancouver and the Fraser Valley to master open-flame cooking, explore ancient fire-making, and learn the rhythms of forest fires-then host a wild-game feast inspired by family memories.
