1
00:00:03,504 --> 00:00:05,045
[Rhain] You stand up?
2
00:00:05,047 --> 00:00:06,755
Nope, you're
a little wobbly still.
3
00:00:07,299 --> 00:00:08,424
[car honks]
4
00:00:09,427 --> 00:00:11,218
[Rhain gasps] Who is it?
5
00:00:13,097 --> 00:00:14,596
There you go, see.
6
00:00:15,725 --> 00:00:16,849
[Noah] Let me get the boy.
7
00:00:16,851 --> 00:00:18,434
[Rhain] Hi.
8
00:00:19,437 --> 00:00:21,812
-I missed you.
-It's good to be back.
9
00:00:22,398 --> 00:00:24,231
For me it's good.
10
00:00:24,233 --> 00:00:27,484
[narrator] On this episode
of Alaskan Bush People...
11
00:00:27,486 --> 00:00:28,652
This is it.
12
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:30,103
Why are you dancing?
13
00:00:30,105 --> 00:00:32,740
We're really excited to start
working on our home site.
14
00:00:32,775 --> 00:00:34,366
The sooner I can
get a little cabin built,
15
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:36,869
the sooner I can move
Raquell and the girls up here.
16
00:00:36,871 --> 00:00:39,621
I wanna keep it as,
as bush as I can.
17
00:00:39,623 --> 00:00:40,831
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
18
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:42,291
That, uh-uh.
19
00:00:42,877 --> 00:00:44,192
Okay, let's get to work.
20
00:00:45,046 --> 00:00:47,129
There is so much to be
doing on the mountain,
21
00:00:47,206 --> 00:00:50,507
but right now I wanna
make sure the gold
is up and running
22
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:52,634
for Rain and for Dad.
23
00:00:52,636 --> 00:00:54,553
This is your thing,
you were the one that
saw it all pieced together.
24
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:56,463
What?
25
00:00:56,465 --> 00:01:00,059
I don't even know where
the equipment's supposed to,
like, actually be.
26
00:01:00,061 --> 00:01:01,226
Oh, my gosh.
27
00:01:02,938 --> 00:01:04,521
It's going off the edge!
28
00:01:16,494 --> 00:01:17,743
[Gabe] Love the sun out here.
29
00:01:18,537 --> 00:01:20,287
Finally back in Washington.
30
00:01:20,364 --> 00:01:24,374
It's been a long journey
and my feet are throbbing.
31
00:01:24,376 --> 00:01:28,337
I'm itchy all over,
I'm really dirty,
really grubby.
32
00:01:28,413 --> 00:01:30,339
Very much looking forward
to getting cleaned up.
33
00:01:31,175 --> 00:01:33,175
As soon as I got back
from Alaska,
34
00:01:33,177 --> 00:01:35,677
first priority is to start
clearing my land.
35
00:01:35,679 --> 00:01:38,305
It's just killing me.
I wanna get Raquell
and the girls
36
00:01:38,307 --> 00:01:39,681
moved up to the mountain
as fast as I can.
37
00:01:39,758 --> 00:01:41,809
Right now, there's
no place for 'em.
38
00:01:41,811 --> 00:01:46,730
I need some place safe,
some place kinda nice
to put Raquell and the girls.
39
00:01:46,732 --> 00:01:49,983
Well, right here I have
everything I might need
for my bath.
40
00:01:49,985 --> 00:01:52,528
I have some flowers,
so like a cologne.
41
00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:55,864
And then a pumice stone
for my feet.
42
00:01:55,866 --> 00:02:00,202
Only time I really noticed
the long hair and the beard
is when I'm putting soap on.
43
00:02:01,872 --> 00:02:03,122
[groans]
44
00:02:03,457 --> 00:02:04,772
Whew!
45
00:02:04,850 --> 00:02:06,834
That water comes up
out of the well
46
00:02:06,910 --> 00:02:10,003
and it's just cold and cool
and refreshing.
47
00:02:11,298 --> 00:02:13,006
[exhales] Now for the feet.
48
00:02:13,008 --> 00:02:15,008
Using the rock
like a pumice stone.
49
00:02:15,085 --> 00:02:17,219
I'm scraping of all
the old dead skin
50
00:02:17,221 --> 00:02:20,430
that's all built up
from the calluses
and it doesn't tickle.
51
00:02:21,308 --> 00:02:24,101
Feels good, feels very clean
very refreshed.
52
00:02:24,103 --> 00:02:27,437
That groggy feeling
of the end of the day is gon
53
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:29,356
I'm ready to start
settling in for bed.
54
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:34,695
I would save it
for the next guy, but ew.
55
00:02:37,741 --> 00:02:42,035
[narrator] The Brown family
is complete once again.
on North Star Ranch.
56
00:02:42,037 --> 00:02:44,413
[Bird] Yes,
I'm coming to feed.
57
00:02:44,489 --> 00:02:47,374
[narrator] And with
the end of good weather
growing near,
58
00:02:47,376 --> 00:02:49,459
home builds for Gabe and Bea
59
00:02:49,503 --> 00:02:53,589
and a mountain irrigation
system are top priority.
60
00:02:53,591 --> 00:02:56,133
[Bird] Like, we've been awa
from Washington
for a little bit now
61
00:02:56,135 --> 00:02:57,801
and it's a little weird
to be back.
62
00:02:57,845 --> 00:03:00,345
There is so much to be doing
on the mountain right now.
63
00:03:00,347 --> 00:03:02,764
There's so much to rebuild.
64
00:03:02,766 --> 00:03:06,727
But with winter
around the corner,
we don't have much time.
65
00:03:06,803 --> 00:03:08,645
I do think they missed me.
66
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:11,023
Hi! Oh, don't come at me.
67
00:03:11,442 --> 00:03:13,525
I'm not Gabe. Good boy.
68
00:03:14,737 --> 00:03:17,112
Yup, showing off.
69
00:03:17,114 --> 00:03:21,200
[narrator] With his goal
of finding a new home
in Alaska accomplished,
70
00:03:21,202 --> 00:03:24,411
Brother Noah will shift gear
to lending a hand
71
00:03:24,488 --> 00:03:27,080
on other urgent
family projects
72
00:03:27,082 --> 00:03:29,791
How was it with Auntie Rainie
and Auntie Birdie?
73
00:03:30,377 --> 00:03:31,668
Did anything special happen?
74
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:32,786
No.
75
00:03:32,788 --> 00:03:34,171
No you remember
that big red slide?
76
00:03:34,215 --> 00:03:36,256
A big, big giant one!
77
00:03:36,258 --> 00:03:38,091
A big giant slide?
78
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:41,053
[Noah] Before we go
back to Alaska,
79
00:03:41,129 --> 00:03:44,765
the plan the entire time
was to help everyone
get set up on the mountain.
80
00:03:44,841 --> 00:03:46,558
-[Noah growls]
-[children laughing]
81
00:03:47,061 --> 00:03:48,435
[Noah] Pile on!
82
00:03:50,481 --> 00:03:53,357
-[Rhain] Too many babies!
-[everyone laughing]
83
00:03:53,359 --> 00:03:54,733
[Noah] There's a lot
of stuff we need to do
84
00:03:54,735 --> 00:03:56,944
to my property
and to the mountain.
85
00:03:57,020 --> 00:04:00,364
Need to set up everything
in Washington to be able
to survive without me.
86
00:04:03,244 --> 00:04:04,826
[Ami] You brought stuff?
87
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:06,828
[Bird] You also don't know
how hard it was not to,
88
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:08,622
every time we call you,
to tell you.
89
00:04:13,629 --> 00:04:15,712
[Ami] January 8, 2000.
90
00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:17,506
Oh, my gosh.
91
00:04:17,508 --> 00:04:20,676
Ugh, those pictures
were taken 22 years ago.
92
00:04:20,752 --> 00:04:23,136
-[Bam] That's my handwriting.
-Yes, it is.
93
00:04:23,213 --> 00:04:24,638
-Oh, my gosh.
-[Bird] Yeah.
94
00:04:24,715 --> 00:04:26,056
-[Noah] Yeah, that one's you.
-Oh, my gosh.
95
00:04:26,058 --> 00:04:27,391
[Bird] I was waiting for you
to see that one.
96
00:04:27,393 --> 00:04:28,558
[Noah] That's you
in your kitchen.
97
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,436
It is, oh, my gosh.
98
00:04:33,232 --> 00:04:36,525
It's wonderful to see that
Noah and, and Bird
have returned from Alaska.
99
00:04:36,601 --> 00:04:39,903
I'm very relieved that they're
back safe and sound.
100
00:04:39,905 --> 00:04:43,198
All of it was relatively in,
like, this shape.
101
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,408
-But look at this.
-[Bird] Exactly.
102
00:04:44,410 --> 00:04:46,434
This gives me hope.
103
00:04:47,579 --> 00:04:50,289
You know, I definitely feel
like I got a few answers
on the Alaska trip.
104
00:04:50,291 --> 00:04:54,293
It has helped me with
this chapter of my life.
105
00:04:54,295 --> 00:04:56,545
But I was somewhat
surprised to see
106
00:04:56,621 --> 00:04:59,047
how much the Alaska trip
effected Rain.
107
00:05:00,884 --> 00:05:04,720
I could kinda slowly see
the, the emotion getting
more and more
108
00:05:04,722 --> 00:05:07,180
and it getting
a little harder for her.
109
00:05:07,182 --> 00:05:10,309
I wish I noticed it
a bit more.
110
00:05:10,311 --> 00:05:13,020
Alaska and everything,
it was just, it was
really hard on her.
111
00:05:13,022 --> 00:05:16,023
-[Noah] Everyone took it
kinda hard, it was tough.
-[Bird] Yeah, it was.
112
00:05:16,025 --> 00:05:18,734
The entire trip was
and everyone's just dealing
with it in their own way.
113
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:21,135
It's okay, I can
understand that.
114
00:05:21,137 --> 00:05:23,238
It would be tough for me.
I'm sitting here
talking to y'all
115
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,823
and it's tough for me.
116
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:26,808
And shouldn't she just
gotta take some time
for herself.
117
00:05:26,810 --> 00:05:28,827
-Just for a little bit.
-[Ami] Whatever she needs.
Whatever she needs.
118
00:05:28,904 --> 00:05:30,495
For sure.
119
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:34,833
[Ami] It's very difficult wh
a mother sees her children
120
00:05:34,835 --> 00:05:38,670
going through a difficult,
tough time because
you can't take it for them.
121
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:42,341
I'm proud of Rainie
for facing these situations
and problems she's having.
122
00:05:42,417 --> 00:05:44,401
She didn't really ever grieve.
123
00:05:44,403 --> 00:05:48,180
But, like, each person
that's ever been on earth,
or ever will be on earth,
124
00:05:48,256 --> 00:05:50,057
there's some things
we have to do alone.
125
00:05:50,059 --> 00:05:51,499
Us and God.
126
00:05:52,936 --> 00:05:55,312
Y'all, that's a pretty arduous
journey you went on.
127
00:05:55,314 --> 00:05:57,022
Missed y'all.
128
00:05:57,024 --> 00:05:58,523
I missed you all too,
it's definitely,
129
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,442
it was a good trip
and everything.
130
00:06:00,444 --> 00:06:03,445
You know, a lot to be done
now that we're back.
131
00:06:03,522 --> 00:06:06,865
When it's, like, right now,
there's really nothing
I can do for Rain.
132
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:09,868
But one thing that
I know for sure that I can d
133
00:06:09,945 --> 00:06:12,537
I can help with hard-rock
mining and get some gold.
134
00:06:12,539 --> 00:06:14,456
It's just kinda been
in the back burner
135
00:06:14,533 --> 00:06:16,833
with us going to Alaska
and doing other things
136
00:06:16,868 --> 00:06:18,919
and now I'm gonna
bring it back to life
137
00:06:18,921 --> 00:06:21,546
so Rain can be super excited
when she gets home.
138
00:06:21,623 --> 00:06:25,217
[narrator] Last fall,
younger sister, Rain,
convinced the family
139
00:06:25,219 --> 00:06:28,011
to acquire old
mining equipment
140
00:06:28,013 --> 00:06:31,723
with the hopes of bringing
a gold operation
to the Brown's mountain.
141
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:33,058
[Bear cheers]
142
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:34,726
Whoo! That's what
I'm talking about.
143
00:06:34,803 --> 00:06:36,620
Well, now that, uh,
now that we're back,
144
00:06:36,622 --> 00:06:40,774
I was thinking if I could
get help to get it, like,
up and going.
145
00:06:40,776 --> 00:06:44,361
I know Rain is definitely
one of us that wants to get
the ranch self-sustaining.
146
00:06:44,363 --> 00:06:45,821
I think that's
everybody's goal
147
00:06:45,823 --> 00:06:49,491
and I think the gold will
very much help with that.
148
00:06:49,493 --> 00:06:52,828
But there's a lot of
other projects we're
working on as well.
149
00:06:52,904 --> 00:06:55,372
The hardest part is actuall
trying to convince everyone
150
00:06:55,374 --> 00:06:57,791
the gold mine,
this is the time to do it.
151
00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:01,670
And that is a goal of mine,
is to try and get it
up and running
152
00:07:01,672 --> 00:07:03,255
for Rain and for Dad.
153
00:07:05,008 --> 00:07:06,633
[narrator] The renewed
hunt for gold
154
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:09,553
could mean putting
other projects on hold
155
00:07:09,596 --> 00:07:14,182
and Brother Gabe is trying
to beat the freeze.
156
00:07:14,217 --> 00:07:15,767
[Gabe] Well, right now
I'm clearing a path up to
157
00:07:15,844 --> 00:07:18,895
the house site that
I picked out, uh,
for Raquell and I.
158
00:07:18,897 --> 00:07:21,523
Ideally, I'll have some
small piece of machinery,
159
00:07:21,525 --> 00:07:25,360
like, maybe Noah's tractor,
come up here and help me
level things off.
160
00:07:25,437 --> 00:07:27,028
But I don't wanna make
too much of an impact in here.
161
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,197
That's what Raquell and I
like about the area,
162
00:07:29,274 --> 00:07:32,075
how foresty it is,
it's perfect for
our little gnome cottage.
163
00:07:32,077 --> 00:07:37,122
So, I definitely don't want
a big bulldozer rolling in
and tearing everything up.
164
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:38,832
So, as little impact
as possible.
165
00:07:38,834 --> 00:07:40,775
Which right now is just
one man and a machete.
166
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:45,839
No, Raquell and I
are really excited to start
working on our home site.
167
00:07:45,916 --> 00:07:50,760
It's been a long time coming
and it's definitely the,
the first step for the future.
168
00:07:51,763 --> 00:07:53,638
I just imagine walking
into the woods
169
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,765
and you hear
those birds achirping.
170
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:58,560
And, you know, I'll go home,
walk through the door,
171
00:07:58,637 --> 00:08:01,104
and Raquell's baking cookies
and the kids are playing.
172
00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:04,733
That's definitely what I see
the potential of
this land to be.
173
00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:09,613
House site's five feet
away over there.
174
00:08:09,615 --> 00:08:12,115
And don't you know,
it'd be this guy in my way.
175
00:08:16,747 --> 00:08:20,707
This is the beaver method,
you have to kinda
chew away at it.
176
00:08:20,709 --> 00:08:21,875
You know, using
the beaver method
177
00:08:21,952 --> 00:08:24,961
is not as fast as having
an actual beaver.
178
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:28,798
Not much wood could
a Gabe-chuck chuck if
a woodchuck could chuck wood.
179
00:08:30,093 --> 00:08:33,094
Most important thing
in my mind right now
on the house build
180
00:08:33,096 --> 00:08:34,804
is just to get
the foundation down.
181
00:08:34,806 --> 00:08:38,683
If I can get a good foundation
poured before the snow flies,
182
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,811
I'm gonna be able
to build through the winter
and it's not gonna stop me.
183
00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:43,429
I'll be able to keep buildin
184
00:08:43,506 --> 00:08:46,191
If I don't get
a foundation in,
kiss that dream goodbye.
185
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:50,320
[breathing heavily] We got
maybe one more run through.
186
00:08:50,322 --> 00:08:52,822
It's gonna be clear, Noah can
bring his tractor on up.
187
00:08:56,745 --> 00:08:59,454
[Bam] Now, the top piece
still seems to be connected.
188
00:08:59,456 --> 00:09:02,499
[stammers] That should stand
directly underneath that
looking up, but...
189
00:09:02,501 --> 00:09:05,502
[narrator] With plans
to set up an irrigation syst
190
00:09:05,546 --> 00:09:07,337
and a hay field
on the mountain,
191
00:09:07,339 --> 00:09:10,215
Brother Bam hopes to fix
a malfunction
192
00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:13,760
with one of the ranch's
main sources of water.
193
00:09:13,762 --> 00:09:17,430
A big step for the ranch
is to be able to
grow our own food,
194
00:09:17,432 --> 00:09:19,641
our own hay
up on the mountain.
195
00:09:19,643 --> 00:09:22,727
But the amount of water
we're able to produce
at the moment,
196
00:09:22,804 --> 00:09:24,187
there's no way
we could do that.
197
00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:26,648
The main well,
it's not functional any more
198
00:09:26,725 --> 00:09:29,818
because the force of the wind
broke the wood at the bottom
199
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:32,195
and it detached the wood
where they had it
screwed together.
200
00:09:33,699 --> 00:09:36,116
So, it's actually very simple
how this is supposed to work.
201
00:09:36,118 --> 00:09:39,619
Uh, the pump is basically
powered just by being
pulled up and down.
202
00:09:39,696 --> 00:09:42,914
And then the rod just connects
to the top of the windmill
203
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:44,874
and it's made to where
it bobs up and down
204
00:09:44,876 --> 00:09:48,003
and pulls the pump
as the windmill turns.
205
00:09:49,298 --> 00:09:51,923
The last storm
that came through,
which was pretty strong,
206
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:57,095
was just too much for it
and it broke the windmill
where the wood connects.
207
00:09:57,172 --> 00:09:59,723
Well, that's not a very strong
piece of wood to begin with.
208
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:04,019
The amount of force it was
probably dealing with
was just way too much for it.
209
00:10:04,095 --> 00:10:07,022
If our only option
is using better, stronger wood
210
00:10:07,024 --> 00:10:09,649
then that's what we'll do.
If this piece was replaced
211
00:10:09,651 --> 00:10:11,943
with a much larger
piece of wood.
212
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:15,822
Run that up, just do away
with this whole part.
213
00:10:15,824 --> 00:10:19,409
I am very excited about
being able to grow
our own hay on the mountain.
214
00:10:19,411 --> 00:10:21,244
When the windmill
is working again
215
00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:23,955
I think we can easily set u
irrigation systems.
216
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:27,083
We have plenty of land.
There are plenty
of places to do that.
217
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:30,837
It's gonna take a lot
of the cost out of
what we're doing
218
00:10:30,914 --> 00:10:33,381
and it's gonna make things
so much easier.
219
00:10:33,383 --> 00:10:36,593
It's a pretty simple fix,
just gonna take
the time to do it.
220
00:10:42,351 --> 00:10:46,394
[Gabe] Hi-ho, hi-ho,
it's off to work we go.
221
00:10:46,471 --> 00:10:49,814
[Bird] Before you know it,
we're gonna actually,
be, like, processing gold.
222
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,708
[Gabe] I know.
223
00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:53,401
[Bird] Also, if you get that
zipline up and running
at some point.
224
00:10:53,478 --> 00:10:55,395
[Gabe] Yeah.
225
00:10:55,397 --> 00:10:57,864
Well, especially if we get
a lot of gold coming out
of this one for sure.
226
00:10:58,533 --> 00:11:00,450
[narrator] Last year,
the mining gear
227
00:11:00,452 --> 00:11:03,119
Sister Rain acquired
was placed near
228
00:11:03,121 --> 00:11:05,538
the most promising mine
on the mountain.
229
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:09,793
But with evidence of
historical mining around
several different entrances
230
00:11:09,795 --> 00:11:14,172
Bird and Gabe will collect
and pan samples from each
231
00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:19,010
to identify the best locatio
to set up the operation.
232
00:11:19,012 --> 00:11:21,596
[Gabe] I think this is it,
let's get some gold.
233
00:11:23,392 --> 00:11:25,642
[Bird] I think the main reas
Dad actually purchased
the mountain
234
00:11:25,644 --> 00:11:28,228
is because of all the mines
that are on it.
235
00:11:28,304 --> 00:11:31,398
Uh, and it's not just us
that are like, "Oh, let's do
some mining here."
236
00:11:31,474 --> 00:11:35,860
People have been mining
on this mountain
for a long, long time.
237
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:38,405
[narrator] In the 1900s,
Palmer Mountain
238
00:11:38,481 --> 00:11:41,908
was ground zero for
the gold boom in Washington
239
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:44,494
But after running out
of money and time,
240
00:11:44,496 --> 00:11:46,429
the mines were abandoned.
241
00:11:46,431 --> 00:11:50,250
Many believe
the full potential of gold
was never realized,
242
00:11:50,252 --> 00:11:55,213
giving the Browns hope
for a motherload
waiting to be discovered.
243
00:11:56,842 --> 00:11:59,384
[Gabe] All right, I'll watch
you from up here.
244
00:11:59,461 --> 00:12:03,304
[Bird] Oh, dude,
it's so cold in here.
245
00:12:03,306 --> 00:12:05,098
There's water.
Hear that? Listen.
246
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,725
[water splashing]
247
00:12:06,727 --> 00:12:08,977
-Do you hear the splash?
-[Gabe] All right,
let me in there.
248
00:12:08,979 --> 00:12:11,521
[Bird] This though
was probably an air shaft,
249
00:12:11,523 --> 00:12:13,732
is when they were actively
mining these,
250
00:12:13,734 --> 00:12:16,568
they did not have the crusher
and equipment that we have.
251
00:12:16,570 --> 00:12:18,903
-Really?
-[Bird] So, all the tailings,
even out here,
252
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:21,072
could have gold in it.
253
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:22,648
-There's a bunch loose here,
so hold the bucket out...
-[Gabe] I'll get you a bucket.
254
00:12:22,725 --> 00:12:24,391
[Bird]...and I'm just gonna
go ahead and grab this stuff.
255
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:27,912
[Gabe] Even though I'm way
behind on building the house
256
00:12:27,914 --> 00:12:30,039
I definitely think that mining
on North Star Ranch
257
00:12:30,041 --> 00:12:32,000
could be
one of our biggest assets.
258
00:12:32,878 --> 00:12:35,712
At one time, this was
a mega-producing mine.
259
00:12:35,714 --> 00:12:37,881
It could be really lucrative
for North Star Ranch.
260
00:12:37,883 --> 00:12:40,341
It could help fund
a lot of our things.
261
00:12:40,418 --> 00:12:43,219
Gold fever
is pretty deeply rooted
in the Brown family.
262
00:12:43,221 --> 00:12:46,222
It sucks you in, like,
that lure of gold.
263
00:12:48,101 --> 00:12:49,726
-What was that?
-What? Nothing.
264
00:12:49,728 --> 00:12:51,019
-What was that?
-I took a leaf.
265
00:12:51,095 --> 00:12:53,188
Okay, we need to
make a pact right now.
266
00:12:53,264 --> 00:12:55,523
What we find, we share.
267
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,983
That's ore, okay?
268
00:12:56,985 --> 00:12:58,234
[Gabe] What we find, we share.
269
00:12:58,236 --> 00:12:59,611
But if I find a baby bat,
270
00:12:59,613 --> 00:13:01,279
-I don't wanna
share it with you.
-What we find...
271
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:03,823
What we find, we share, Bird.
272
00:13:03,825 --> 00:13:06,534
[Bird] Once we figure out
which one has the most gold
273
00:13:06,536 --> 00:13:08,745
the next step is to get
all the gold mine equipment
274
00:13:08,747 --> 00:13:10,497
working and running
and in place
275
00:13:10,532 --> 00:13:12,457
and this is the time to do it.
276
00:13:12,459 --> 00:13:14,918
It would be
the coolest thing almost ever
277
00:13:14,961 --> 00:13:18,797
if Rain could come home
and figure out
that the Browns struck gold.
278
00:13:19,424 --> 00:13:20,590
I mean, think about it, Gabe.
279
00:13:20,634 --> 00:13:22,801
We could be carrying gold.
280
00:13:22,803 --> 00:13:24,719
-[Gabe] Our first
load of gold.
-[Bird] Gold!
281
00:13:27,015 --> 00:13:28,014
[narrator] Coming up...
282
00:13:28,016 --> 00:13:29,131
You got the belt?
283
00:13:29,133 --> 00:13:30,850
No, I don't have me.
I'm falling.
284
00:13:30,852 --> 00:13:33,895
I've been trying
to study hard-rock mining,
285
00:13:33,897 --> 00:13:35,939
trying to remember
what Rain was teaching me.
286
00:13:35,982 --> 00:13:37,398
I don't remember a lot of it.
287
00:13:38,652 --> 00:13:40,318
Noah, be careful with it.
288
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,236
I'm gonna.
289
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:42,728
[Bird] Dude!
290
00:13:47,369 --> 00:13:50,537
I love the taste of rust
and I love the taste of dirt.
291
00:13:51,498 --> 00:13:52,664
Oh, wait.
292
00:13:53,208 --> 00:13:55,041
It's not gold, but it's shiny.
293
00:13:55,961 --> 00:13:57,001
Oh, it's red, though.
294
00:13:57,003 --> 00:13:59,420
What does red rock mean?
295
00:14:00,882 --> 00:14:05,635
[narrator] Winter season
is creeping closer
to North Star Ranch
296
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,013
and while sister Bird
embarks on a steep
learning curve
297
00:14:09,048 --> 00:14:10,348
in the hunt for gold,
298
00:14:10,425 --> 00:14:13,935
brother Gabe races
to establish a foundation
299
00:14:14,012 --> 00:14:16,646
for his own family cabin.
300
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:18,147
[Gabe] It should be
pretty clear for you.
301
00:14:18,149 --> 00:14:19,440
I already
pretty much cleared it.
302
00:14:19,442 --> 00:14:21,234
I'm envisioning the cabin...
303
00:14:21,352 --> 00:14:24,279
Like, I don't want it to be,
like, clear-cut around it.
304
00:14:24,281 --> 00:14:26,656
I want it to be, like,
nestled in.
305
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:28,533
No, but, I'm gonna have to
make a road to get there.
306
00:14:28,610 --> 00:14:30,451
Okay. A little road.
307
00:14:30,528 --> 00:14:32,036
The width of the tractor.
308
00:14:32,998 --> 00:14:34,247
I can live with that.
309
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:36,616
[Gabe] Noah and I
are headed up
310
00:14:36,618 --> 00:14:39,252
to clear off my landing sit
for a house pad.
311
00:14:39,329 --> 00:14:43,214
I'm a little afraid
that it's gonna knock down
a little too much,
312
00:14:43,291 --> 00:14:45,675
that it's gonna
change the topography
too much.
313
00:14:45,677 --> 00:14:47,260
Hold.
314
00:14:47,262 --> 00:14:50,138
I really don't want
a lot of, like, open space.
315
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:52,223
I'm looking for a good canopy
316
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:55,685
for the house to really
blend in with the woods.
317
00:14:55,687 --> 00:14:58,396
Keep the bush
and then just, boom,
house in the middle,
318
00:14:58,473 --> 00:15:00,940
uh, without any real footprint
around it.
319
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:05,528
This is it.
320
00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:09,657
Why are you dancing?
321
00:15:09,734 --> 00:15:10,825
What do you think?
322
00:15:11,661 --> 00:15:12,994
What, this is it?
323
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:15,997
[Gabe] Do you have a problem?
324
00:15:15,999 --> 00:15:20,001
This is just kind of
in the middle of a road.
325
00:15:20,078 --> 00:15:22,587
I think there's barely room
for my tractor to turn around.
326
00:15:22,589 --> 00:15:24,714
-Well, we'll take
some of this out.
-Are you taking
327
00:15:24,716 --> 00:15:26,966
these trees down and, like,
leveling it that way, or...
328
00:15:27,043 --> 00:15:28,593
I wasn't going to.
329
00:15:29,596 --> 00:15:33,097
In my opinion,
Gabe's home site
is lacking quite a bit.
330
00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:35,642
His place
is in the middle of a road.
331
00:15:35,644 --> 00:15:39,103
But he sees something here,
so I wanted to help him
332
00:15:39,105 --> 00:15:41,606
and, kind of,
put what's in his head
onto the land.
333
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:43,775
This... There's no yard.
334
00:15:43,777 --> 00:15:46,444
-There's no room
for the girls here, though.
-Well, out here is...
335
00:15:46,521 --> 00:15:51,115
'Cause this is like 24 by 24
from that point
to over that point.
336
00:15:51,192 --> 00:15:53,368
I'm only doing 16 by 16.
337
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:57,038
[Noah] Then any tree
within that orange square
needs to be removed.
338
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,706
Take down your trees
and then I can do my thing.
339
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:00,032
[Gabe] Okay.
340
00:16:01,169 --> 00:16:03,336
Noah's bringing up
some good points, uh,
341
00:16:03,338 --> 00:16:07,674
like I am building the house
right in the middle
of this, like, road.
342
00:16:07,676 --> 00:16:09,208
I definitely wanna
listen to Noah.
343
00:16:09,210 --> 00:16:11,719
He has really good insight
and he's a good operator.
344
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:13,379
But at the same time,
345
00:16:13,456 --> 00:16:17,100
this is where
I want the house,
you know? So...
346
00:16:17,143 --> 00:16:19,936
[Noah] All right.
Now just get out of my way
and let me work.
347
00:16:20,855 --> 00:16:22,647
Gabe and I work
really well together,
348
00:16:22,724 --> 00:16:24,273
but I have no filter.
349
00:16:24,275 --> 00:16:26,901
His is more of the,
"Ugg, I do this,"
350
00:16:26,978 --> 00:16:30,071
and I'm like,
"Okay, let's do this instead."
351
00:16:30,073 --> 00:16:32,907
I need as much room
to be able to go
forward and back as possible.
352
00:16:32,984 --> 00:16:35,410
[Gabe] Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait. Nah-ah-ah.
353
00:16:37,163 --> 00:16:39,330
[Noah] He does have
strict things in mind,
354
00:16:39,407 --> 00:16:41,874
like not wanting
to take down trees and such.
355
00:16:41,951 --> 00:16:44,961
[Gabe] I'm a little concerned
that we might have gone
a little too far.
356
00:16:44,963 --> 00:16:45,962
[Noah] Which one?
357
00:16:45,964 --> 00:16:48,506
Uh, I don't know, all of 'em.
358
00:16:49,259 --> 00:16:52,301
But it's best
to just do it the right way.
359
00:16:55,056 --> 00:16:57,223
I don't know. Do you think
we opened it up too much?
360
00:16:57,225 --> 00:16:58,725
Do you think
it ruins the magic?
361
00:17:00,395 --> 00:17:02,002
[Noah] No, man.
362
00:17:05,942 --> 00:17:07,817
[Bear] Cowboy boots
are perfect
for climbing, right?
363
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:15,658
Bam actually asked for my he
364
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:18,036
to see if I could
give him a hand
repairing this thing.
365
00:17:18,038 --> 00:17:20,121
He's not the biggest fan
of heights and stuff
366
00:17:20,123 --> 00:17:22,790
and so I just thought
that I would give him a hand.
367
00:17:22,792 --> 00:17:25,960
So right now I'm just trying
to repair the pusher rod
368
00:17:25,962 --> 00:17:27,879
and the first thing
I have to do
is take off the old one.
369
00:17:27,881 --> 00:17:30,590
Normally, I work with
a lot more siblings,
370
00:17:30,666 --> 00:17:33,801
so working alone
makes anything
a little bit more difficult.
371
00:17:33,803 --> 00:17:35,428
But one plus to it is
I don't have Bam being like,
372
00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:37,513
"Oh, Bear, you're about to
get decapitated
373
00:17:37,515 --> 00:17:40,516
by this gigantic
windmill blade
spinning right beside you."
374
00:17:40,518 --> 00:17:42,477
No, I'll still be cautious
not to turn my head into,
375
00:17:42,479 --> 00:17:43,770
you know,
some kind of lunch meat,
376
00:17:43,772 --> 00:17:45,730
'cause that thing
is definitely spinning fast
377
00:17:45,732 --> 00:17:49,317
and if the blade
were to hit you in the head
it would not be good.
378
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:52,987
Now the wind's
died down a little bit,
I should be able to get it.
379
00:17:52,989 --> 00:17:57,408
Problem is,
I need to hold both of these,
unscrew 'em and hold on still.
380
00:17:58,495 --> 00:18:00,161
It's gonna be hard.
381
00:18:00,163 --> 00:18:03,623
I can't get to the top one.
None of my tools will fit it.
382
00:18:03,699 --> 00:18:06,709
And when I turn it,
it's spinning the screw
on the other side
383
00:18:06,753 --> 00:18:08,795
so I have to hold it down,
384
00:18:08,797 --> 00:18:10,963
then hold the other side down
and then turn it,
385
00:18:10,965 --> 00:18:14,175
which is difficult
while I'm also holding on.
386
00:18:14,177 --> 00:18:18,221
I could try to break it,
but I don't have enough force
from up here.
387
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:20,098
Well, Bam looked at
this thing earlier,
388
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,975
so, you know, I was thinking
he'd set me up
with the right tools,
389
00:18:23,010 --> 00:18:25,937
but he didn't climb up
to actually see
if the socket fits
390
00:18:25,939 --> 00:18:28,439
and it's taking
way longer than I thought
it was going to.
391
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:30,316
Okay, I don't have
the right ratchet.
392
00:18:30,318 --> 00:18:32,944
The top screw up here
is giving me
a bit of a hassle,
393
00:18:32,946 --> 00:18:35,530
so I'm gonna go down
and concentrate
on the bottom one now.
394
00:18:36,407 --> 00:18:38,157
These tools just won't work
395
00:18:38,234 --> 00:18:40,284
I need a different socket
and I...
396
00:18:40,286 --> 00:18:42,036
Nothing I can do
for the top part.
397
00:18:42,113 --> 00:18:44,664
But I do still have a hammer
and there is one thing
I can do
398
00:18:44,666 --> 00:18:46,290
and that's remove the box
underneath it.
399
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:48,042
Plus, I love destructions.
400
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:51,629
I'm trying to get this thing
struck down
401
00:18:51,631 --> 00:18:53,381
so we can
get to the well again.
402
00:18:53,383 --> 00:18:55,842
The ball can go in temporary
'cause of the snow and stuff.
403
00:18:55,844 --> 00:18:57,176
So I'm tearing it apart.
404
00:18:57,178 --> 00:18:59,846
That way we can get to
the actual well in itself
405
00:18:59,881 --> 00:19:01,055
to get totally repaired.
406
00:19:03,393 --> 00:19:05,226
[exhales] Last one
was a bit tricky.
407
00:19:08,523 --> 00:19:09,730
[Noah] That's
the conveyor belt.
408
00:19:09,732 --> 00:19:11,440
[Bird] This is
the conveyor belt.
409
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:15,528
And so a crusher will be here
wherever we want it to land
410
00:19:15,605 --> 00:19:17,655
and a conveyor belt up there.
411
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:20,950
-This is the rock shelf
that needs to be taken out?
-Yeah.
412
00:19:20,952 --> 00:19:24,412
But it just needs to be
a little bit more flat.
413
00:19:24,414 --> 00:19:25,997
[narrator] After determinin
414
00:19:25,999 --> 00:19:29,250
what they hope
is the best potential
mine site,
415
00:19:29,252 --> 00:19:33,713
sister Bird
attempts to reconstruct
the daunting mine equipment
416
00:19:33,715 --> 00:19:35,798
with the help of brother Noa
417
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:38,134
who's been spread thin
on the ranch.
418
00:19:38,136 --> 00:19:39,177
Got the belt?
419
00:19:39,179 --> 00:19:40,928
No, I don't have me.
I'm falling.
420
00:19:42,098 --> 00:19:45,266
I have been trying
to study hard-rock mining,
421
00:19:45,268 --> 00:19:47,476
trying to remember
what Rain was teaching me.
422
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,312
One of the main things
I've been trying to study
423
00:19:49,314 --> 00:19:52,106
is, like,
how the equipment goes.
424
00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:55,401
There's a conveyor belt
that leads into a big crushe
425
00:19:55,478 --> 00:19:59,197
that crushes big rock
into just smaller
pieces of rock,
426
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:02,408
then goes to a conveyor bel
that goes to another crushe
427
00:20:02,410 --> 00:20:05,369
that gets, like,
really crushed.
428
00:20:05,371 --> 00:20:07,663
Then that goes through
holding tanks and stuff,
429
00:20:07,665 --> 00:20:10,416
and then it eats away
at the rock
and you get the gold.
430
00:20:12,337 --> 00:20:13,652
Okay.
431
00:20:13,654 --> 00:20:16,631
Now it's... The conveyor belt
goes up there.
432
00:20:16,633 --> 00:20:18,799
You can do the machine.
I'll do the ...
433
00:20:18,876 --> 00:20:20,843
[Noah] All right.
434
00:20:20,845 --> 00:20:23,221
To be honest, I don't know
anything about it, really.
435
00:20:23,297 --> 00:20:25,681
I know how to pan for gold.
That is it.
436
00:20:25,683 --> 00:20:29,060
I don't even know where
the equipment's supposed to,
like, actually be.
437
00:20:30,939 --> 00:20:32,897
One thing that my family
always has done
438
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:34,732
is, if you don't know
how to do something,
439
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:37,526
the best way to learn
is to do it.
440
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:38,903
You do it
and you make a mistake
441
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:40,363
and you know
that's not how you do it
442
00:20:40,365 --> 00:20:41,697
so you do it another way.
443
00:20:42,242 --> 00:20:43,616
[Noah] Okay, let's do this.
444
00:20:49,123 --> 00:20:50,706
[Bird] Noah,
be careful with it.
445
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:52,124
I've gonna.
446
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:54,710
-Thing's heavy.
-[Bird] Yeah.
447
00:20:56,214 --> 00:20:58,714
[Noah] Bird's signaling me
as I'm coming
around the corner.
448
00:20:58,716 --> 00:21:00,424
Uh, basically
she needs to tell me
449
00:21:00,501 --> 00:21:02,969
when to stop
and where to put the machine.
450
00:21:02,971 --> 00:21:05,846
I can't see past it
to see where the edge is.
451
00:21:05,848 --> 00:21:07,348
[Bird] Take it out that way.
452
00:21:08,059 --> 00:21:09,141
Oh, oh!
453
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,893
Yep. No, lower.
454
00:21:10,895 --> 00:21:12,344
No. Oh, my gosh!
455
00:21:12,346 --> 00:21:16,274
I think we should
put a rope on it
so I can move it.
456
00:21:16,276 --> 00:21:19,485
This conveyor belt
is so close
to the end position.
457
00:21:19,562 --> 00:21:22,071
It's where it needs to be,
but it's tipping
458
00:21:22,115 --> 00:21:23,823
'cause the one end
is on a rock.
459
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:29,745
Set her down
for a second, Noah.
460
00:21:31,457 --> 00:21:32,865
Okay, hold on.
461
00:21:32,941 --> 00:21:35,710
Is it too close to that edge?
Is my only problem.
462
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:39,380
Well, it's a little crooked,
is the only thing.
463
00:21:39,382 --> 00:21:43,926
-I think, if I set it down,
I can move it.
-[Bird] Yep.
464
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:47,430
If this conveyor belt breaks
we're definitely
at a standstill with the gol
465
00:21:47,432 --> 00:21:49,307
'cause we need
every piece that we have
466
00:21:49,309 --> 00:21:51,100
in order to get the gold.
467
00:21:51,144 --> 00:21:53,311
Honestly,
it's so nerve-racking.
468
00:21:56,357 --> 00:21:57,398
Lower on it.
469
00:21:58,443 --> 00:21:59,966
Slowly!
470
00:21:59,968 --> 00:22:02,528
-You scream at me
if it gets close.
-[Bird] Slowly!
471
00:22:04,198 --> 00:22:06,157
-Inch by inch.
-[Noah] Little bit.
472
00:22:06,993 --> 00:22:08,409
I think that's good.
473
00:22:08,411 --> 00:22:09,702
-You sure?
-Yep.
474
00:22:10,621 --> 00:22:11,996
[Noah] Okay.
475
00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:15,082
Didn't think we were gonna
get it for a minute,
476
00:22:15,084 --> 00:22:16,751
but the conveyor belt
is in position
477
00:22:16,827 --> 00:22:17,752
and I am so excited.
478
00:22:17,828 --> 00:22:19,754
It looks so good.
479
00:22:19,756 --> 00:22:21,422
Looks pretty good to me.
What do you think?
480
00:22:21,424 --> 00:22:22,715
Yeah.
481
00:22:23,509 --> 00:22:24,633
It's perfect.
482
00:22:24,635 --> 00:22:25,901
Next things next,
483
00:22:25,903 --> 00:22:28,429
we get that crusher
and we place it here.
484
00:22:28,431 --> 00:22:30,931
I'm gonna get the straps
and get that set up
for tomorrow.
485
00:22:32,810 --> 00:22:33,926
[narrator] Coming up...
486
00:22:33,928 --> 00:22:36,479
[Bird] Be careful
as you go too far out.
487
00:22:36,522 --> 00:22:38,481
[Noah] If you've something
too heavy on your boom
488
00:22:38,483 --> 00:22:39,857
and out too far,
489
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:42,026
you can actually
tip your excavator up.
490
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:44,362
I'll pull some
out of the edge.
491
00:22:44,364 --> 00:22:45,821
Oh, my gosh.
492
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:47,698
Noah!
493
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:48,908
I got it!
494
00:22:55,041 --> 00:22:56,457
So, now what are we doing?
495
00:22:56,459 --> 00:22:57,708
[Gabe] Well, I was thinking...
496
00:22:57,710 --> 00:22:59,085
Uh-oh.
497
00:22:59,161 --> 00:23:02,838
I'm gonna do what you said
and make this a yard.
498
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:05,758
It doesn't do me any good
to have a dead tree
right there
499
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,135
that can fall on
one of the babies
while they're outside playing.
500
00:23:08,137 --> 00:23:10,304
So let's take this out,
501
00:23:11,099 --> 00:23:12,973
take that out, take that out
502
00:23:12,975 --> 00:23:15,309
and then
I'll take you out to dinner.
503
00:23:17,021 --> 00:23:20,439
[narrator] In the southwest
corner of North Star Ranch,
504
00:23:20,441 --> 00:23:23,984
Gabe has opted to expand
his proposed home site.
505
00:23:23,986 --> 00:23:25,719
[Gabe] Go get 'em, tiger!
506
00:23:25,721 --> 00:23:28,280
[narrator] But before they c
stake out the foundation,
507
00:23:28,357 --> 00:23:31,951
brothers Gabe and Noah
must clear and haul out
508
00:23:32,027 --> 00:23:34,787
the fire-damaged trees
around the home site.
509
00:23:34,789 --> 00:23:36,956
Hold. I'll roll it off.
510
00:23:37,625 --> 00:23:39,308
You know,
it's very important right no
511
00:23:39,310 --> 00:23:42,336
to just get
a lot of the dead trees
out of the way too.
512
00:23:42,338 --> 00:23:44,713
When some of the trees
are burned completely out,
513
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:46,315
there's no soil holding 'em
514
00:23:46,317 --> 00:23:47,842
they're just, you know,
death traps waiting to happen.
515
00:23:47,844 --> 00:23:50,094
That's not
a very good environment
to raise a family.
516
00:23:51,556 --> 00:23:54,140
So definitely gonna get
some of the old dead trees
out of the way
517
00:23:54,142 --> 00:23:56,225
and hope to safe it up
a little bit.
518
00:23:57,728 --> 00:23:59,019
[Noah] Uh,
are you cutting trees
519
00:23:59,096 --> 00:24:00,855
or do you want me
to try to push 'em first?
520
00:24:00,857 --> 00:24:03,065
[Gabe] Uh, might as well
just give 'em a push.
521
00:24:04,235 --> 00:24:05,317
Here we go.
522
00:24:11,868 --> 00:24:12,950
Noah!
523
00:24:18,082 --> 00:24:19,165
[Noah] What?
524
00:24:19,167 --> 00:24:20,916
That top's really wobbly.
525
00:24:20,918 --> 00:24:22,543
Don't let it come back on you.
526
00:24:22,545 --> 00:24:25,212
It won't come back.
Don't throw things at me, man.
527
00:24:26,257 --> 00:24:29,341
[Noah] I know that I have
a lot on my plate.
528
00:24:29,343 --> 00:24:31,093
But Gabe needs help
with his house.
529
00:24:31,137 --> 00:24:34,180
He went to Alaska
and helped me out,
530
00:24:34,182 --> 00:24:38,267
so, yeah, it's only fair
that I get my tractor
and I help him dig.
531
00:24:38,269 --> 00:24:40,144
Are you taking down
that big one?
532
00:24:40,563 --> 00:24:42,146
Yeah.
533
00:24:42,148 --> 00:24:43,939
[Gabe] I'm not even sure
you have enough power
to do it.
534
00:24:44,609 --> 00:24:45,858
[Noah] We can try.
535
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:51,655
I had a feeling about that.
536
00:24:51,732 --> 00:24:53,306
Let me grab the saw.
537
00:24:54,702 --> 00:24:56,952
[Noah] Gabe's really eager
to get his home finished
538
00:24:56,996 --> 00:24:59,038
and get his wife and kids
move up here.
539
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,206
I can definitely see that.
540
00:25:00,208 --> 00:25:01,832
She's going!
541
00:25:04,754 --> 00:25:06,128
[Noah] If I didn't
have my place,
542
00:25:06,130 --> 00:25:07,713
I would be working
just as hard
543
00:25:07,715 --> 00:25:09,507
to be able to get my family
back up here.
544
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:13,928
Go ahead
and take the slack out.
545
00:25:19,227 --> 00:25:22,394
[Gabe] I feel like
George Washington
on the Delaware.
546
00:25:22,396 --> 00:25:24,396
I'm surfing down the hill
on these logs
547
00:25:24,398 --> 00:25:25,931
and it's pretty cool.
548
00:25:27,401 --> 00:25:29,818
Definitely don't try this
if family's watching you.
549
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:33,948
But it's a very cool sensation
to be surfing down my mountain
on some trees.
550
00:25:34,909 --> 00:25:36,182
That's good.
551
00:25:36,786 --> 00:25:39,286
The fact that you were able
to ride on it
552
00:25:39,363 --> 00:25:42,081
the entire way down
down that bumpy road
553
00:25:42,083 --> 00:25:45,000
is a testament to how smooth
of a driver I am.
554
00:25:45,002 --> 00:25:46,502
[chuckling] This is true.
555
00:25:46,504 --> 00:25:48,420
And to your balance.
556
00:25:56,097 --> 00:25:58,055
Talk things first.
557
00:25:58,057 --> 00:26:01,183
The big blue crusher
has to go on these
558
00:26:01,227 --> 00:26:02,685
so I can put these in place
559
00:26:02,728 --> 00:26:04,728
and then
move the crusher somehow.
560
00:26:05,189 --> 00:26:07,731
It's really heavy.
561
00:26:07,808 --> 00:26:10,568
[narrator] The next morning
at the Brown's quarry,
562
00:26:10,570 --> 00:26:14,863
Bird and Noah
face their next challenge
with the mining equipment -
563
00:26:14,865 --> 00:26:18,117
moving the 30-ton rock crush
into place
564
00:26:18,193 --> 00:26:20,703
at the base
of the conveyor belt.
565
00:26:21,831 --> 00:26:24,123
And then, that goes
to that platform down there.
566
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:26,292
-Okay, watch yourself.
-Yup.
567
00:26:27,211 --> 00:26:29,753
So all the mining
equipment have been
taken apart.
568
00:26:29,755 --> 00:26:32,548
Uh, it just needs
to be set up properly.
569
00:26:32,550 --> 00:26:35,050
Everything on
the mining equipment
are separate pieces.
570
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:37,428
The crusher is one
of the main points of it.
571
00:26:37,504 --> 00:26:41,140
-Okay, so next
is the big blue, right?
-Yup, big blue.
572
00:26:41,142 --> 00:26:45,311
[Noah] there'll be quite
a few complications
because it's extremely heavy
573
00:26:45,938 --> 00:26:48,981
Very important
to be careful with it.
574
00:26:49,058 --> 00:26:52,943
How much chain slack
do you want?
As much as possible?
575
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:55,154
-As least as possible.
-As little as possible.
576
00:26:57,992 --> 00:26:59,950
Bird?
577
00:26:59,952 --> 00:27:02,119
Should you be doing
all this manual labor?
578
00:27:02,371 --> 00:27:04,830
I'm fine.
579
00:27:04,832 --> 00:27:07,291
Of course you're fine,
you're a Brown,
we're fine till we are dead,
580
00:27:07,368 --> 00:27:08,709
that's beside the point.
581
00:27:09,670 --> 00:27:11,378
No, it means a lot
to get this done
582
00:27:11,455 --> 00:27:13,464
'cause I know it means
a lot to Rain.
583
00:27:17,136 --> 00:27:19,595
[Bird] You know Rain
and I have never really
been apart.
584
00:27:19,597 --> 00:27:21,221
I think the longest
we've been apart was a week.
585
00:27:22,099 --> 00:27:24,199
And it's hard.
586
00:27:24,201 --> 00:27:26,393
It's hard to not to
have her on the ranch
and have her with me.
587
00:27:26,979 --> 00:27:28,354
It's hard
588
00:27:28,356 --> 00:27:31,190
to not able to be
with her and for her.
589
00:27:31,266 --> 00:27:33,901
I swore that I would
always be there for her,
590
00:27:33,977 --> 00:27:35,694
and I know this is something
she needs to do on her own,
591
00:27:35,696 --> 00:27:37,488
but I just wish
I could be there
592
00:27:37,564 --> 00:27:40,199
even if it's in the shadows
just to making sure
she is okay,
593
00:27:40,275 --> 00:27:42,034
but I, I can't be there
with her right now.
594
00:27:46,207 --> 00:27:48,791
You know, I'm definitely
hopeful and praying
595
00:27:48,793 --> 00:27:52,002
that Rain soon will be
back to herself,
596
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:54,338
and feeling good,
and feeling more like herself,
597
00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:56,048
and can join us
on the mountain.
598
00:27:56,926 --> 00:27:57,800
Okay.
599
00:27:57,802 --> 00:27:59,677
[Noah] Okay, you ready?
600
00:27:59,679 --> 00:28:01,804
[Bird] Anytime that
we come across
something that's like,
601
00:28:01,806 --> 00:28:02,888
"Oh, I don't know
if we can do it."
602
00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:04,239
I just think of Rain.
603
00:28:04,241 --> 00:28:06,642
And I'm like,
"I don't care how hard it is,
604
00:28:06,686 --> 00:28:08,102
how long I have
to stay out here,
605
00:28:08,104 --> 00:28:09,603
I'm doing it for Rain."
606
00:28:10,272 --> 00:28:11,838
[Noah] Here we go.
607
00:28:13,526 --> 00:28:15,442
[Bird] Ooh, okay,
we're good, we're good,
we're good.
608
00:28:16,821 --> 00:28:18,028
Oh, my gosh.
609
00:28:20,574 --> 00:28:22,116
[Noah] I'm off the ground.
610
00:28:22,743 --> 00:28:24,785
[Bird] Oh, my gosh. Ooh.
611
00:28:24,787 --> 00:28:28,831
Be careful
as you go too far out,
it's wanting to do this.
612
00:28:30,126 --> 00:28:33,502
So this excavator can
move pretty much anything,
613
00:28:33,504 --> 00:28:35,546
however, uh,
if you've something
614
00:28:35,548 --> 00:28:37,715
too heavy on your boom
and out too far,
615
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:40,092
you can actually
tip your excavator up,
616
00:28:40,169 --> 00:28:42,052
because it changes
the center of balance.
617
00:28:43,389 --> 00:28:45,973
Stay over here,
not over there.
618
00:28:45,975 --> 00:28:48,225
You don't wanna get
too close to the edge.
619
00:28:52,022 --> 00:28:53,522
Oh, my gosh.
620
00:28:55,651 --> 00:28:56,608
Noah, up.
621
00:28:57,111 --> 00:28:58,026
Got it.
622
00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:00,979
Oh, my gosh.
623
00:29:00,981 --> 00:29:03,198
Noah, you'll push it
off the edge.
624
00:29:12,543 --> 00:29:13,792
Noah, up.
625
00:29:16,422 --> 00:29:18,422
Oh, my gosh.
626
00:29:19,383 --> 00:29:22,843
[narrator] To launch their
mining operation
on North Star Ranch,
627
00:29:22,845 --> 00:29:25,095
Sister Bird and Brother Noa
628
00:29:25,097 --> 00:29:28,807
must relocate a 30 ton
rock crusher uphill
629
00:29:28,809 --> 00:29:30,309
to its foundation.
630
00:29:30,311 --> 00:29:31,727
Oh, my gosh.
631
00:29:32,438 --> 00:29:34,346
h, let's push it
down the hill?
632
00:29:34,422 --> 00:29:37,483
[narrator] But as
the excavator struggles
under the weight,
633
00:29:37,485 --> 00:29:40,027
the family's dream
of gold on the mountain
634
00:29:40,571 --> 00:29:42,321
teeters on the edge.
635
00:29:42,397 --> 00:29:43,197
Noah!
636
00:29:43,866 --> 00:29:45,032
I got it!
637
00:29:45,034 --> 00:29:46,909
It's going off the edge.
638
00:29:46,911 --> 00:29:48,327
[Noah] I'm pulling it
this way.
639
00:29:48,403 --> 00:29:49,536
Okay, well, 'cause
from my view,
640
00:29:49,613 --> 00:29:51,330
you're pushing it
off the edge.
641
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:55,083
Honestly,
it's so nerve-racking.
642
00:29:55,085 --> 00:29:57,252
he's just whopping it around,
and I know it swings,
643
00:29:57,254 --> 00:30:01,173
but he's, like,
just plopping it down
and oh, it's gonna break?
644
00:30:01,175 --> 00:30:04,468
'Cause we need
every piece that we have
in order to get the gold.
645
00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:06,220
I'm very concerned for it.
646
00:30:07,389 --> 00:30:09,223
How close am I to the edge?
647
00:30:09,975 --> 00:30:12,601
Like, it's all being pushed
down the edge.
648
00:30:12,603 --> 00:30:16,563
All we have to do
is get it to where I can
put it and it will sit.
649
00:30:19,735 --> 00:30:22,611
I can't see you.
I need you over there.
650
00:30:25,991 --> 00:30:27,699
[Bird]
It's kinda teeter-y.
651
00:30:28,327 --> 00:30:29,493
Noah.
652
00:30:29,495 --> 00:30:30,494
[Noah] I got it.
653
00:30:32,122 --> 00:30:33,313
Looks good?
654
00:30:33,390 --> 00:30:35,165
I'm gonna go walk to it
and touch it,
655
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:37,000
and see if it moves.
656
00:30:37,002 --> 00:30:39,002
[Noah] Get out
of the way fast if it does.
657
00:30:40,047 --> 00:30:42,214
-[Bird grunts]
-[Noah] Oh no, that's set.
658
00:30:42,332 --> 00:30:43,340
No, that baby is not
going anywhere.
659
00:30:43,342 --> 00:30:44,916
[Noah] Okay, so we got it.
660
00:30:44,993 --> 00:30:48,428
It is where it needs to be,
it's just backwards. [laughs]
661
00:30:50,474 --> 00:30:53,976
I'm so excited.
I've almost never been
more excited in my life,
662
00:30:53,978 --> 00:30:56,562
and it's just because
that's gold basically
663
00:30:56,564 --> 00:30:59,648
I'm basically looking at
what's gonna create gold,
664
00:30:59,650 --> 00:31:01,525
and I just know Rain
is gonna be over the moon,
665
00:31:01,602 --> 00:31:03,360
and I'm so excited right now.
666
00:31:03,437 --> 00:31:06,947
We'll finagle everything
into place where it
actually needs to be
667
00:31:06,949 --> 00:31:09,116
securely once we have it.
668
00:31:09,192 --> 00:31:10,576
-Okay.
-Good job today.
669
00:31:10,652 --> 00:31:12,727
Yeah.
670
00:31:12,729 --> 00:31:15,664
[Bird] Still a few
more things we need
for the mining equipment,
671
00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:17,666
but we have enough
to get it into place
672
00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:19,167
to actually do some crushing.
673
00:31:19,169 --> 00:31:21,103
Might have to so some repairs,
674
00:31:21,105 --> 00:31:23,672
but for right now,
to just get it up and running
and crush some rocks,
675
00:31:23,674 --> 00:31:25,624
I believe we have everything.
676
00:31:25,626 --> 00:31:29,595
Noah, there for a second,
it was actually, like,
picking the back of it up.
677
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:32,389
-[Noah] I'm aware.
-I though you were gonna
do this for a minute.
678
00:31:32,466 --> 00:31:33,640
[Noah] I felt it.
679
00:31:42,234 --> 00:31:43,734
[Gabe talking]
680
00:31:43,769 --> 00:31:45,810
Okay.
681
00:31:45,887 --> 00:31:47,404
-We're like two cop buddies,
let's stake this thing out.
-Let's stake it out.
682
00:31:49,033 --> 00:31:50,315
[Gabe] It's been
a lot of hard work,
683
00:31:50,317 --> 00:31:51,909
but it's definitely
a labor of love,
684
00:31:51,911 --> 00:31:54,202
and now we can
get started on a really
important part,
685
00:31:54,204 --> 00:31:57,289
which is marking out
where the foundation's
actually gonna go.
686
00:31:57,291 --> 00:31:59,499
Like, I can see
a cabin here now,
687
00:31:59,501 --> 00:32:00,709
but once we get it
stacked out,
688
00:32:00,711 --> 00:32:02,502
it will be a little bit
more real.
689
00:32:03,339 --> 00:32:04,963
Okay, I'll give you
the smart end.
690
00:32:07,718 --> 00:32:09,509
Okay, so you want me
even with the tree?
691
00:32:09,586 --> 00:32:12,638
Uh, whatever you think.
692
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,515
Is this for the porch
or is this for actually
the house itself?
693
00:32:15,517 --> 00:32:17,225
We're gonna measure all of it.
694
00:32:18,854 --> 00:32:20,979
Oh, now the brain work
comes in,
695
00:32:21,056 --> 00:32:24,191
and [groans] brain work
is not my strong suit.
696
00:32:24,193 --> 00:32:26,017
You can nail this
one this way,
697
00:32:26,019 --> 00:32:28,445
you can nail
the first one that way,
where that's good and stout
698
00:32:28,447 --> 00:32:29,738
[Gabe] I'm good at,
like, you know,
699
00:32:29,740 --> 00:32:31,281
hauling in things
and that kinda stuff.
700
00:32:31,283 --> 00:32:32,908
But when it comes
to thinking stuff,
701
00:32:32,952 --> 00:32:35,369
I'm, like, "I'd rather
somebody else do it."
702
00:32:35,371 --> 00:32:37,287
That's not square, that's...
703
00:32:37,364 --> 00:32:38,705
-It's square back here.
-No, you're not.
704
00:32:38,707 --> 00:32:39,748
Look at it.
705
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:41,375
It's a foot off.
706
00:32:41,451 --> 00:32:42,709
You, jelly head, come on.
707
00:32:43,420 --> 00:32:45,212
Definitely glad
that Noah is here,
708
00:32:45,214 --> 00:32:48,048
he brings mind power
to the table.
709
00:32:48,050 --> 00:32:50,592
[Noah] You are right
at sixteen.
710
00:32:51,011 --> 00:32:52,194
Right there.
711
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:55,514
Now this is the logistic side
of it.
712
00:32:55,516 --> 00:32:58,725
If we're off even
a little bit at the beginning
with any of our numbers,
713
00:32:58,727 --> 00:33:00,978
we're gonna be way off
by the end of it.
714
00:33:00,980 --> 00:33:02,220
That's sixteen.
715
00:33:03,273 --> 00:33:05,649
Uh, so I wanna really
do this house right,
716
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:07,609
and so the math
has to be perfect.
717
00:33:09,989 --> 00:33:11,113
Where should I put my door?
718
00:33:12,408 --> 00:33:13,824
On a wall.
719
00:33:13,826 --> 00:33:15,158
[mockingly mumbles]
720
00:33:15,661 --> 00:33:16,493
Home from work.
721
00:33:17,538 --> 00:33:18,662
[exclaims]
722
00:33:19,540 --> 00:33:21,123
"Honey, I'm home."
723
00:33:22,751 --> 00:33:24,226
Like-- [chuckles]
724
00:33:25,629 --> 00:33:27,629
Okay, straighten your legs,
straighten your legs.
725
00:33:34,471 --> 00:33:35,512
Watch your hand position.
726
00:33:36,181 --> 00:33:37,997
Get up very carefully.
727
00:33:37,999 --> 00:33:39,516
-All right, help me up.
Help me, help me.
-It's good. it's good.
728
00:33:39,593 --> 00:33:40,726
You're-- Hold, just hold it
right there.
729
00:33:41,020 --> 00:33:42,410
Careful.
730
00:33:42,412 --> 00:33:43,595
[Gabe] It just means
the world to me
731
00:33:43,597 --> 00:33:45,605
to have Noah helping
me out with this.
732
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:48,525
Definitely gonna
feel Noah and his,
and his wife's and his kids
733
00:33:48,527 --> 00:33:52,112
absence on the mountain, uh,
when he goes off to Alaska,
734
00:33:52,189 --> 00:33:54,406
it's, Alaska
is a long way away.
735
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:56,408
Oh, dude.
736
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:58,184
Yes.
737
00:33:59,913 --> 00:34:03,498
You know,
we're barely separated
from each other at all.
738
00:34:04,168 --> 00:34:05,125
Got it.
739
00:34:07,087 --> 00:34:08,361
What is that?
740
00:34:08,363 --> 00:34:09,588
[Noah] You're
a gingerbread man.
[laughs]
741
00:34:09,664 --> 00:34:12,507
[laughs] Looks like
a gingerbread man.
742
00:34:13,927 --> 00:34:15,093
-Oh.
-Oh.
743
00:34:15,596 --> 00:34:17,279
In the eyeballs.
744
00:34:17,973 --> 00:34:21,141
To have one of the members
of the wolfpack so far away
745
00:34:21,143 --> 00:34:23,268
and cut off
from the rest of us,
746
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:25,312
it's is gonna be really weir
747
00:34:25,314 --> 00:34:27,564
So definitely gonna miss him.
748
00:34:27,566 --> 00:34:29,524
"Warning, do not get
in your mouth,
749
00:34:30,194 --> 00:34:31,068
eyes.
750
00:34:31,070 --> 00:34:32,861
Do not put on your skin."
751
00:34:32,863 --> 00:34:33,945
Should have read those first.
752
00:34:39,453 --> 00:34:41,078
[Bird]
Oh, my gosh, this dirt.
753
00:34:41,154 --> 00:34:44,206
Always just so inviting,
do you just wanna
lay down in it?
754
00:34:44,208 --> 00:34:48,085
It's so inviting. Actually,
do you use dry shampoo?
755
00:34:48,161 --> 00:34:51,421
-No.
-So dirt works the same way.
756
00:34:52,508 --> 00:34:55,133
-You lay your hair down,
like so.
-I'll help.
757
00:34:55,135 --> 00:34:56,885
Just put it all on my hair.
758
00:34:56,929 --> 00:34:58,637
-Ready?
-Oh, yeah, I'm ready.
759
00:35:01,517 --> 00:35:03,892
-Look how full.
-I think there was
a bug in your hair.
760
00:35:03,894 --> 00:35:05,936
Probably a couple,
but how, like,
761
00:35:06,855 --> 00:35:08,688
luscious and full it looks.
762
00:35:08,690 --> 00:35:10,982
Okay, full chinchilla time,
lay down, I'll bury you.
763
00:35:11,059 --> 00:35:13,610
I just love the dirt.
764
00:35:13,612 --> 00:35:17,364
The chinchilla bath
with the dry shampoo,
Bush style,
765
00:35:17,366 --> 00:35:19,449
it's my favorite
kinda of bath.
766
00:35:19,451 --> 00:35:22,702
Doesn't last long,
you have to keep doing it
or just wash your hair.
767
00:35:23,163 --> 00:35:24,287
[grunts]
768
00:35:27,668 --> 00:35:29,960
Ah! The dirt,
it makes you feel alive.
769
00:35:31,964 --> 00:35:33,338
You're not riding in my truck.
770
00:35:39,388 --> 00:35:41,429
[Bear] Today I should have
the right tools,
771
00:35:41,932 --> 00:35:43,348
the socket should fit,
772
00:35:43,976 --> 00:35:46,601
only one way to find out.
773
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:49,938
[narrator] After a failed
first attempt at fixing
the windmill,
774
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:52,315
Bear returns with new tools
775
00:35:52,317 --> 00:35:55,527
and a replacement pusher ro
from Brother Bam.
776
00:35:55,988 --> 00:35:57,028
Watch out below.
777
00:35:58,407 --> 00:35:59,990
Bulls eye.
778
00:35:59,992 --> 00:36:02,284
[narrator] Hoping that he ca
repair the windmill
779
00:36:02,286 --> 00:36:05,954
to help supply water
for the planned
irrigation system.
780
00:36:06,373 --> 00:36:08,290
Now to get the pusher rod.
781
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:10,208
So now all I have to do
is get the pusher rods.
782
00:36:10,210 --> 00:36:11,918
I have to put 'em together,
there's, like, three of 'em.
783
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,671
I'm gonna start
at the very top
and work my way down.
784
00:36:14,673 --> 00:36:18,425
The windmill well is one
of the main sources of water
for all of North Star Ranch.
785
00:36:18,501 --> 00:36:21,720
Raiven and I happen to be
very, very close to it,
786
00:36:21,796 --> 00:36:23,471
and so we'll definitely
benefit greatly
787
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:25,557
if we can get this
windmill well fixed.
788
00:36:27,644 --> 00:36:30,187
Well, this one feels
totally secure.
789
00:36:30,189 --> 00:36:31,563
I might tighten it up
just a little bit
790
00:36:31,565 --> 00:36:32,772
before I come completely down,
791
00:36:32,774 --> 00:36:33,815
but it's pretty stable.
792
00:36:33,817 --> 00:36:36,151
So far it seems to be working.
793
00:36:36,195 --> 00:36:39,154
All right, it's bolted on,
so she shouldn't be
going anywhere.
794
00:36:39,156 --> 00:36:42,949
Well, I'm quite determined
to get this windmill fixed
and get that pusher rod up.
795
00:36:42,951 --> 00:36:44,451
I'm not one to give up easily.
796
00:36:44,527 --> 00:36:45,785
It's actually a family motto
797
00:36:45,787 --> 00:36:47,595
It's like, "Never give up,
never surrender."
798
00:36:47,597 --> 00:36:50,081
Takes a whole lot more than
a couple of tries of bad too
799
00:36:50,083 --> 00:36:52,167
to stop me from
completing my mission.
800
00:36:52,211 --> 00:36:54,544
Oh, so now I'm down
to the final step,
801
00:36:54,546 --> 00:36:57,756
which is connecting
the pusher rod
to the well itself.
802
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:00,383
I think this will do it.
803
00:37:00,385 --> 00:37:03,136
This is the last part,
and then we'll have
some fresh running water.
804
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:07,057
To be honest,
this windmill and I [grunts]
805
00:37:07,059 --> 00:37:08,450
have been through a lot.
806
00:37:08,452 --> 00:37:10,060
And our Mom has been wanting
to get it repaired,
807
00:37:10,062 --> 00:37:11,228
we all really have,
808
00:37:11,230 --> 00:37:12,562
and, uh, now she's repaired,
809
00:37:12,564 --> 00:37:14,940
so it feels pretty good
to have finally gotten it.
810
00:37:16,235 --> 00:37:19,486
Now, when the windmill
is working and pumping water
like it should be,
811
00:37:19,562 --> 00:37:21,479
we can start growing
our own hay.
812
00:37:21,556 --> 00:37:24,908
With a hay field
and irrigation systems
up on the mountain,
813
00:37:24,910 --> 00:37:27,744
it would be a huge step
for the ranch to be
self-sufficient.
814
00:37:27,821 --> 00:37:29,496
[Bear] We haven't
had a ton of wind,
815
00:37:29,498 --> 00:37:30,956
but as soon as the wind
picks back up,
816
00:37:30,958 --> 00:37:32,958
a single spin will raise
this up and down,
817
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,043
and she should
spit out water once again.
818
00:37:35,045 --> 00:37:36,544
Well, my work here is done.
819
00:37:40,842 --> 00:37:44,052
I'll tell you what?
Let's play a game.
820
00:37:44,054 --> 00:37:48,807
You dig on that side,
I'll dig on this side,
and we'll see who wins.
821
00:37:48,809 --> 00:37:51,518
Oh, you don't wanna mess with
my babe and blue ox.
822
00:37:52,104 --> 00:37:53,019
On your mark.
823
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:54,437
Get set.
824
00:37:54,439 --> 00:37:55,397
-Go.
-Go.
825
00:37:56,358 --> 00:37:57,607
Dang.
826
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,261
[narrator] With his
foundation marked,
827
00:38:02,263 --> 00:38:06,491
Gabe and Noah
must now dig four feet
down into the ground,
828
00:38:06,568 --> 00:38:09,619
which will then be filled
with a concrete pad.
829
00:38:09,913 --> 00:38:11,604
Hey, Gabe,
830
00:38:11,606 --> 00:38:13,832
I don't think you
would've gotten this out
with that shovel.
831
00:38:13,834 --> 00:38:15,000
[Gabe] Wow!
832
00:38:15,377 --> 00:38:17,210
That is ginormous.
833
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:19,921
I'll call that one Wayne.
834
00:38:19,965 --> 00:38:23,049
[Gabe] Oh, man,
I've run into some pretty
big boulders in here.
835
00:38:23,051 --> 00:38:26,553
I'm digging and I'm going
and I'm doing pretty good,
you know,
836
00:38:26,555 --> 00:38:29,389
but then it's just, like,
[imitates clanking]
837
00:38:29,391 --> 00:38:32,392
And without Noah's tractor,
this would be impossible.
838
00:38:33,437 --> 00:38:34,394
How deep did you get?
839
00:38:35,188 --> 00:38:37,397
Dude.
840
00:38:37,399 --> 00:38:40,066
Oh, yeah,
I think you're almost there.
841
00:38:40,068 --> 00:38:41,526
You're almost to depth.
842
00:38:42,279 --> 00:38:43,135
Wow.
843
00:38:43,137 --> 00:38:45,155
The feeling when I see that
844
00:38:45,157 --> 00:38:47,866
claw go into that dirt
and start digging, like,
845
00:38:47,868 --> 00:38:50,035
I can literally see
the cabin going up, like,
846
00:38:50,037 --> 00:38:53,079
this is the foundation
being dug.
847
00:38:53,081 --> 00:38:55,582
And it makes me really
feel like we're gonna get it
done before winter,
848
00:38:55,584 --> 00:38:57,709
and before you know it,
I'm gonna have cabin
in the woods
849
00:38:57,786 --> 00:39:00,462
for Raquell and the girls
to come home to.
850
00:39:00,464 --> 00:39:04,507
Finally breaking ground
on our land is just,
it's a great moment,
851
00:39:04,584 --> 00:39:08,053
Like, long time coming,
and I'm happy beyond words.
852
00:39:08,129 --> 00:39:12,682
This is, you know,
exactly what I've been wanting
to do for a while now,
853
00:39:12,684 --> 00:39:15,060
it's cool to see it
come to fruition.
854
00:39:16,897 --> 00:39:18,897
Starting to feel like
a home in here.
855
00:39:18,899 --> 00:39:20,231
Already got my walls,
856
00:39:20,308 --> 00:39:22,609
I guess, I'd be
in the basement right now.
857
00:39:23,820 --> 00:39:26,863
Being able to help Gabe out,
uh, it feels good.
858
00:39:26,865 --> 00:39:27,847
Really, in essence,
859
00:39:27,849 --> 00:39:29,574
this is what
the wolfpack does.
860
00:39:29,576 --> 00:39:33,328
Uh, when we need to
we band together
and we get stuff done.
861
00:39:33,914 --> 00:39:35,330
Okay, I'm to length.
862
00:39:35,374 --> 00:39:37,040
I think you're there.
863
00:39:37,042 --> 00:39:39,584
I think we just need
to straighten her out,
level her down.
864
00:39:39,661 --> 00:39:41,378
I think you got it.
865
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:43,838
Yeah, need to get
this dirt out of the way,
push it out of the way
866
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,800
to be able to make room
for all the concrete stuff
867
00:39:46,835 --> 00:39:49,094
and level out the sides,
and I think we're good.
868
00:39:49,096 --> 00:39:50,804
I couldn't have done it
without you.
869
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:51,930
[grunts] Thanks.
870
00:39:52,391 --> 00:39:54,015
-Sure thing.
-Thanks, bro.
871
00:39:54,976 --> 00:39:57,060
This moment has been
a long time coming,
872
00:39:57,062 --> 00:39:59,604
you know, and I thought
it was gonna be done
a long time ago,
873
00:39:59,606 --> 00:40:01,398
but that's the thing, like,
you can't look back,
874
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,609
you just gotta look forward,
keep going, stay the course.
875
00:40:05,862 --> 00:40:07,320
[Bird]
It's actually happening.
876
00:40:07,322 --> 00:40:09,030
Getting it here
is the hard part.
877
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:12,575
You know, I definitely thin
the gold can really
878
00:40:12,577 --> 00:40:15,412
spark that fun
and excitement in Rain,
879
00:40:15,414 --> 00:40:16,971
which I think
she really needs.
880
00:40:17,791 --> 00:40:19,916
When we moved here,
when we were even in Alaska
881
00:40:19,918 --> 00:40:21,835
you know, the dream
is to be self-sufficient,
882
00:40:21,911 --> 00:40:23,711
and I definitely think
the gold will help with that,
883
00:40:23,755 --> 00:40:25,505
and that's what everybody
is working toward.
884
00:40:27,592 --> 00:40:28,800
[Gabe] Big rock right here.
885
00:40:28,802 --> 00:40:30,510
[Noah] Got it.
886
00:40:30,512 --> 00:40:32,387
[Gabe] Definitely looking
forward to, uh, you know,
887
00:40:32,389 --> 00:40:34,264
spending the rest of my life
here with my family.
888
00:40:34,340 --> 00:40:38,143
Like, I think this
is gotta be a great place
to raise the kids.
889
00:40:38,219 --> 00:40:40,520
You know, I'm just excited
to see where we go from here
890
00:40:40,597 --> 00:40:42,981
Uh, I feel like we,
we're climbing.
891
00:40:42,983 --> 00:40:45,692
Without the family,
without the help,
it would be impossible.
892
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:53,741
[narrator] On the next episo
of Alaskan Bush People...
893
00:40:53,743 --> 00:40:56,453
-I think that's good, right?
-Just as long as you can
get in the door.
894
00:40:56,455 --> 00:41:00,540
The house site that
I picked out just seems
to be going up really fast.
895
00:41:00,542 --> 00:41:01,532
Thank you for helping me
896
00:41:01,534 --> 00:41:03,668
to realize,
you know, the dream.
897
00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:06,212
It's very exciting
to be selling our
first two long horns.
898
00:41:06,214 --> 00:41:07,464
What we have to do is
899
00:41:07,466 --> 00:41:09,132
[Ami talking]
900
00:41:09,134 --> 00:41:10,049
Stop.
901
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:11,801
Oh, no.
902
00:41:13,054 --> 00:41:14,529
[Bird] Better turn on,
903
00:41:14,531 --> 00:41:15,930
'cause it has to be running
before Rain gets back,
904
00:41:15,932 --> 00:41:17,307
and she's close.
905
00:41:17,309 --> 00:41:19,142
If the equipment never runs
the dream of,
906
00:41:19,219 --> 00:41:21,102
of mining on the mountain
would be dead,
907
00:41:21,146 --> 00:41:23,271
I think along
with Rain's little heart.
908
00:41:23,315 --> 00:41:25,815
Noah, it's moving. Noah, look.
909
00:41:25,817 --> 00:41:27,942
Oh, it pops out--
Can it-- Ohh.
