Yukon Men
Boys grow into men quickly here because they must help the family survive. Father-son bonding and tensions take on a new meaning in this environment and this year, the odds are stacked against them.
Hunt or Starve
The village of Tanana is low on meat. Stan Zuray and his son, Joey, are forced to take a deadly journey into the Yukon Mountains to hunt for caribou. Meanwhile, Charlie Wright must face the threat of a lone wolf that is terrorizing the town.
The Race for Fur
With only three weeks left in trapping season, our men race to collect their most valuable commodity--fur. A brutal winter has made the animals scarce. The men are up against the clock to trap as much fur as possible before the season is over.
Going for Broke
It's the end of trapping season and the final push is on. Charlie and Bob rush to the river before it melts in hopes of snaring some beaver. Stan and Joe visit Tosi cabin to trap their fur on land. However, they face a larger problem, a bear.
On Thin Ice
It's goose hunting season and the people of Tanana are stocking up on food. Stan & Joey race to get the first goose and Charlie & Bob have a father-son contest. Meanwhile, the rivers they use to travel are melting fast. Not everyone will make it home.
Tragic Spring
The rivers around Tanana are dangerously melting. Most hunters have made the deadly journey back home but Charlie's brother-in-law, George, is missing. Search & rescue efforts are unsuccessful. A town of 200 people has to face a shocking reality.
Man Up, Move Out
It's finally Spring in Tanana and Joey Zuray is ready to move out on his own. The only thing he has to do is move the house he wants across town before it gets demolished in a few days. Charlie hunts a deadly black bear that's menacing the village.
Logjam
It's driftwood logging season, and there's a brief window to pull firewood out of local rivers. James relies on his young son to help make ends meet. Stan gets caught in a powerful storm and Charlie battles a deadly black bear.
Wheel of Misfortune
Salmon is a precious food source, and the people of Tanana only have a few days to stock up for the winter. Stan Zuray and Pat Moore race to get fish wheels in the water to feed their dog teams, while Charlie sets nets to catch fish for his family.
