Mountain Men

Marty installs floats on his bush plane and flies to a remote lake to hunt moose. Lauro and Neil harvest driftwood and build a log river raft from scratch.

Marty desperately searches for a bull moose that vanished in thick brush. Mike hustles to pack out the meat from a bull elk before it can be scavenged by brown bears.

Lauro travels north of the Arctic Circle with his team of sled dogs to hunt caribou. Daniel rebuilds an old floating cabin using driftwood logs and the power of tides.

Lauro hunts caribou in white out conditions on Alaska's North Slope; Bret and Ivy, buried under heavy snowfall, push to set their 230-mile trapline.

Marty battles the brutal Alaskan winter while running his wildfire ravaged trapline in the Far North; Mike reclaims an abandoned set of solar panels to power his Kodiak Island homestead; Jake discovers a gruesome lion kill on the mountain.

Lauro kicks Iditarod training into high gear with a 300-mile run on the Denali Highway. Bret and Ivy go from checking traps to hunting moose, and take the opportunity to bring down a large bull.

Mike braves icy waters to catch snow crabs living on the seafloor hundreds of feet below the surface. Bret and Ivy travel uncharted terrain to create a new trail, and build a log bridge to cross a deep creek.

Marty withstands a brutal cold snap to harvest the last of his furs and fly home to his family. Mike carves a narrow road out of a steep ridge near his property to gain access to prime hunting grounds.

Lauro begins the 1,000-mile Iditarod with his sixteen-dog team, pitted against harsh conditions and rugged terrain in one of the toughest races on earth. Bret and Ivy ascend into the Alaska Range on a high altitude grizzly bear hunt.

Lauro continues his quest to complete the Iditarod through the frozen interior of Alaska. Bret and Ivy pursue a bear into dangerously steep terrain. Daniel sets traps for wolves to protect the fragile deer population in the Southeast.

Lauro confronts -40 weather, a broken sled, and exhausted dogs on the Iditarod Trail while running down the frozen Yukon River. Bret and Ivy make an impressive haul of beaver to finish their trapping season.

Lauro nears the end of the Iditarod, crossing 260 miles of ice along the Bering Sea coast to reach the finish line in Nome.
