Brett and Cliff travel north to the Yukon to try their hand at logging as the lumberjacks once did during the turn of the century.

During the gold rush prospectors, the continent over flocked to the Klondike to try their hand at finding their fortune. Brett and Cliff will try to do the same. The boys must build a rudimentary riverboat in order to float to the prime gold panning locations.

If you were a sailor during the time of discovery you have a 1 in 4 chance of finding yourself a castaway on some remote stretch of beach.

As pioneers settled North America many ventured to find their own piece of paradise in the remote wilderness.

The grand banks off the coast of Newfoundland have been contested waters for hundreds of years.

Moving cattle vast distances was how the cowboys made a living. Ranchers would hire these cowpokes to deliver their cattle when it was time to take the animals to market. The Southwest is an unforgiving landscape and driving cattle a dangerous undertaking, so why not send Brett and Cliff to test their mettle.

During prohibition, the movement of illegal alcohol was massive business and men would regularly risk their lives to transport the goods, hopeful that they would receive a payday equivalent to an average yearly wage! The danger however was very real, and with the great lakes as the backdrop for this endeavour many men were lost to the inky depths. Brett and Cliff try their hands at bootlegging.
