Alaska: The Last Frontier

With another brutal winter approaching, and bears having killed two of the family's cattle, the Kilchers are forced to pin all of their hopes of surviving the season on one last hunting trip.

The first storm of the winter is fast approaching and the entire homestead must rush to finish preparing for the next eight months. The tasks include gathering firewood and leading the cattle home across flooded glacial rivers.

The early winter storms leave the entire homestead unprepared. A desperate search for a newborn calf and its mother forces Otto's wife and her son into a night snowstorm, while Otto builds a shelter for his herd.
