The Last Alaskans

As the Arctic Circle's short summer nears its end, The Last Alaskans begin their preparations for another winter on the trapline.

As The Last Alaskans settle in to their fall routines in preparation for winter's trapping season, several visitors make their way out to the cabins. Heimo and Edna roll out the red carpet for their youngest daughter Krinn and new grandson, Colby.

The Last Alaskans are finally home - some for the winter, others for a much shorter stay. Heimo and his youngest daughter Krin hunt for caribou. The Seldens have helpful visitors and an exciting announcement. Bob arrives back at his cabin.

As the seasons turn, the Last Alaskans are gearing up for trapping season. Heimo's newest cabin may have already fallen victim to a marauding bear. Tyler and Ashley are in full swing building a new home for their growing family.

With winter fast approaching, The Last Alaskans set out to hunt moose. Heimo and Edna team up together. Tyler draws on gut instinct to stalk an elusive bull. And Charlie soon discovers why the area is called "Starvation Country."

With winter just weeks away, The Last Alaskans are desperate to fill their smokehouses. The Selden's all pitch in to haul home Tyler's recent moose kill. Heimo and Charlie both worry they might not have meat for the winter months ahead.

Winter in the Arctic Refuge usually means go time for The Last Alaskans but this year low snowfall is slowing them down - snow machines and dogsleds are useless in these trail conditions.

As winter tightens its grip, the days grow shorter for The Last Alaskans and that means less daylight for checking traps. Heimo and Edna's fur count is way down and when wolves invade their traplines, Edna takes matters into her own hands.

Winter loosens its grip and the residents of the refuge celebrate the sun's reappearance on the horizon. The families prepare for big changes.
