(music)
CHRIS: I think I see caribou up there.
Let’s see if we get up there.
Stay low.
JESSI: Here we go.
You can see at least hundred caribou over here. They’re all running.
Don’t shoot it. That’s way too far. CHRIS: No.
JESSI: How far do you think those guys are?
CHRIS: About two-hundred yards. Maybe a little bit more.
JESSI: That’s really (bleep) far.
I want my kills to be ethical. I want ’em to be clean.
I want ’em to be quick.
CHRIS: They’re coming up towards us.
They’re real spookish this time of year.
Come on, Jess. You gotta shoot that animal.
JESSI: I don’t have it.
CHRIS: Push it. Right now.
Shoot it.
JESSI: I can’t.
Chris, I’m not comfortable taking the shot.
I’m not gonna take the shot, and you telling me to take the shot
is not gonna make me more comfortable.
I’ve always had Chris to rely on, but out here you’ve gotta be able to feed yourself.
This means a lot more than just going out a bringing home a caribou
for the winter, it’s knowing that I can do it by myself.
I need to be a better hunter. Yeah.
I can’t find a good spot.
I’ve never taken a shot that I had that I wasn’t for sure on.
The thing is, I just wasn’t ready.
I’m just, it’s real fast. You gotta get your,
you gotta take your shot but the worst thing in my mind
is to wound an animal and then lose it. So, I have to be sure.
CHRIS: Here they come.
You see ’em? JESSI: Yeah.
CHRIS: Let’s go.
JESSI: I can’t go that far.
I can’t.
I’m not gonna make it. CHRIS: No, it’s too far now.
JESSI: They, I can never take a shot unless I’m sure.
Oh! Jeez.
I just don’t want an animal to be in pain.
JOHNNY: You know living out here, we’re focused on surviving.
You gotta keep your senses active, because of how fast things do change out here
and how surprising it can become.
Where’d he go?
(multiple shots)
Where’d he go?
Where you at, dude?
Oh, I see him. I see him.
(multiple shots)
(bleep) this, man.
This guy can jump.
He had a mouth just full of caribou hair.
Yeah, I put a lot of time and effort in hunting these caribou
and taking care of the hides.
You know, I come out there and hides are all chewed up and,
and I can’t have that out here.
Holy (bleep)!
There he goes. There he goes.
There’s just too many sticks in the way every time I shoot.
It’s hard to let this guy go but I think I have to.
You win this round, buddy.
Man.
Squirrel might have got some of my hide, but he kinda kick-started my brain into
realizing that winter’s here.
I’m gonna take that squirrel’s advice and make sure I’m ready
and prepared for this winter.
Make sure I’m ready to burn cords of wood this winter.
So, I gotta climb up here and do chimney
and roof maintenance all winter long.
Make sure I’m gonna be warm this winter.
You gotta make sure the stove is clean, it’s clear, and it’s ready to burn.
There’s a lot of creosote in here, and that’s all flammable.
That stuff will burn and cause a chimney fire.
So, if the top of this stove pipe, and this rain cap are covered in creosote,
that means all the way down to the stove is probably covered with creosote.
So, we’ll check out this stove.
So, it’s stove cleaning time.
Yeah, you look at this door right here, there’s just chips of creosote,
and this stuff is flammable, you know. It burns pretty easily.
Take this lantern and
look how quick that catches on fire.
That’s creosote right there, and that just shows you how dangerous it is.
If it catches on fire, then this box can get really, really hot.
This pipe here is full of creosote, and all this will get red hot,
and it travels all the way up, and you’re looking at a short gap between this pipe
and this wood here. You know, if it gets how enough,
catches on fire and this cabin burns down.
And I just can’t afford to have that happen.
We’ve got work to do still.
ALEX: Right now’s a good time of year to take care of camp chores.
Take care of my equipment. Safe guarding my food,
my animals, just things that I have to do. Because if I don’t then,
well you know, I’ll die.
ALEX: Okay, so the agenda for today is to really take good care of my firewood
because this is what’s going to keep me alive through the winter.
So I cut down living birch trees and of course
when I cut one down they’re full of water.
They won’t burn and once I split them and I stack them up here,
then they sit there all summer long and the water evaporates out of them.
And then of course just having a tarp on it like this isn’t, you know,
the best way to get air flow for it to dry out to its maximum potential.
But with a woodshed over top of it to get maximum air flow and sunlight on it,
then I think I can have great firewood next year rather than just getting by.
So the way I’m going to build the woodshed is by building a roof
that will block rain and snow.
So right off the bat I’ve already, you know, kinda run into one problem.
This is one of these things that’s hard to plan for.
These nails I got are pretty long.
But they’re just not quite long enough to get through the fat end of the log.
What I’ll do is cut a notch into the wood to make it a little thinner.
That way that nail will go all the way through and get a good bite into the tree.
Oh yeah, that’s good.
Great, now that feels super solid.
Let’s just see what that feels like.
Yeah, that’s pretty good.
I mean yeah if this can hold me I think it’ll be able to hold the snow load.
Better firewood is going to have a big impact on the quality of the firewood
I’m burning and give me a much better quality of life.
Pretty nice and tight, the tarp will make up the difference.
I’m going to stay warmer, I’m going to heat up my food and water quicker.
It’s a little bit of effort but a big reward.
Now I’ll go get the piles down there and move all of it up here.
You know, I’ve been doing this long enough I guess when I have to do
a big mountain of work I just kinda zone out and just do it.
Just go at a slow pace, low gear, just go until it’s done.
Now that I know I’m going to have top quality firewood next winter,
the next thing I want to focus on is trying to catch fish.
RJ: Alaska’s a great place to come out and work your ass off.
It’s a part of who we are and what we do as Alaskans.
Remember when we came out here and there was deer all over out on these beaches?
Should probably try to get one or two if we can.
We’re running low on meat.
ROBERT: Today we need to get anything that provides more meat.
RJ: we’re gonna go out, we’re gonna see if we can find some deer on the beach.
We need to put some more meat in the freezer.
Deer on the beach.
Just drop me off on the side right here.
ROBERT: Yeah, I’ll just drop you off right on these rocks here.
Climb around, get on the bow.
There’s your shot.

ROBERT: Did ya hit it?
RJ: Well, I’m warm again.
ROBERT: What’s up with that gun? You usually never miss.
RJ: I haven’t shot with this gun in a while.
It’s a little different trigger pull than my three hundred.
ROBERT: I heard you whistle and it stopped and looked at ya.
Gave ya a good shot. RJ: Yeah.
ROBERT: No hair, no blood. RJ: Nothing.
ROBERT: I didn’t really see it flinch or anything. It Looked like a clean miss.
Well, we missed. No harm no foul.
RJ: Yeah, we saw that deer on the beach.
It was just out here kinda grazing, you know.
Uh. A lot of snow is coming down so they’re just getting further,
pushed further down the mountains.
It’s tough to miss like that, that’s such a nice broad side.
It happens.
Let’s keep on going.
JOHNNY: Living in Alaska is about survival.
I’ve learned to accept the darkness, the cold, the isolation.
But it’s part of living out here, and it allows me the space that I crave.
All right, time to separate these puppies.
Got get all this creosote out of here because this stuff is flammable.
So, it’s just a good time to kinda maintain everything around the stove.
I prefer to go get food, but right now we got early snow.
I don’t really have a choice but to get the job done.
This is the heart of the cabin.
This is where I cook.
This is where I boil water.
And this is what keeps me warm throughout these cold winters.
Bones in here, all kinds of junk.
This thing needs a deep clean, man.
You know people’s modern ovens have a deep clean setting
where you push a button,
let it clean, and you just walk away,
and this is kind of my version of that.
Gonna start a big old raging fire and just let it clean itself.
It’s blazing pretty good.
Little light taps just knocking off the creosote on the ceiling.
It’s just kinda knocking it down.
You live in the bush, you gotta take care of the equipment that you have
because you rely on it.
Fire’s hitting all that creosote, shows you how fast it all comes out.
That’s a clean pipe, man.
Learned the quickest way to cool this down, ice cold water.
It’s looking pretty clean in there.
We got a lot of ash in here.
Sun’s going down, and it’s gonna start dropping in temperature
so it’s a good time to have a nice stove inside the cabin.
Oh boy.
I can see some light coming in on some of these cracks to the logs.
When I built this cabin, I tried to get some of those logs as tight as possible,
but what I couldn’t get ’em perfect, I have to fill the gaps with moss.
And moss is very insulating, it’s got awesome insulating properties,
but squirrels and birds come and they pick it for their nest,
and right now, the ground’s frozen,
so it’s not a good time to go out and get moss, but I don’t really have a choice.
ALEX: Living on my own, you know, I have to wear many hats.
I have to do many jobs.
But uh, the most important job I do is uh, getting the food.
Today’s fishing day.
Be getting more and more ice any day when there’s not wind.
This ice is growing.
It’s not too thick yet.
It may just be a few more days I’m able to get on the water like this.
Of course you never know what the weather’s gonna do,
but I have to assume the worst.
The winter is approaching, and I’m trying to prepare.
Pretty soon the lake will be turned to ice,
so there’s gonna be a period where I can’t fish from my boat,
and I can’t ice fish.
But, if I can get through the ice, then I need to because I gotta get the meat.
I have to make excuses to win. You know, I can’t make excuses to fail.
Okay, that’s set up.
Let me just uh.
Yeah, and since I’m out here in the lake, on a boat,
I don’t really need to cast too much.
I’ll just kind of uh similar to ice fishing, I’ll just let it go down a ways.
Oh, yeah there’s a fish. I can see him.
Oh, on the boat I can feel his strength.
Boy, he’s strong.
That’s a big pike.
Yeah, there’s one.
See if we can get any more.
What the hell? There’s a little,
something white just darted out and went in the water.
What the hell?
That’s a strange sight.
Looks like a rabbit. That’s weird.
That’s really weird.
Look at that. There’s almost no chance of, you know, getting a rabbit that way.
It’s ridiculous but anything can happen.
I mean that’s really what this lifestyle’s all about.
Um, I mean just a moment ago it was alive.
It must have hit the water, froze, went into shock and drowned.
But look, I mean it’s dead dead.
Whatever was chasing this might be way in there in the woods or something
and this rabbit thought he was home free and went on the ice and then just.
That’s the craziest thing.
JESSI: Coming out here, and going hunting, it’s a lifestyle for us.
It’s not just a weekend getaway.
There’s a lot that comes with taking a life.
I feel like those caribou we saw disappeared into these trees.
They’re sitting a hundred and fifty yards
in front of us over the face of this cliff.
So, we’re gonna proceed with caution.
Twice now, I didn’t take the shot.
’Cause I wasn’t confident enough.
But I still have a chance.
Caribou could be right around the corner.
CHRIS: Right over here, they’re coming up the hill.
JESSI: So, we’re gonna stay really low.
We’re gonna stay really quiet.
Do you think I can shoot that?
CHRIS: Yeah.
JESSI: As soon as I get ready, they move.
CHRIS: Just focus on you.
(rifle shot)
That was a really far shot.
JESSI: She didn’t move whatsoever.
I think that we gotta go down there.
I think that we gotta go see if this is a blood trail or not, Chris.
CHRIS: Okay. JESSI: (bleep)
All right, we’re gonna go down there.
CHRIS: Look. There’s a bunch of feces with blood mixed.
JESSI: Oh (bleep). CHRIS: You got a lung-shot.
This is bleeding heavy.
JESSI: Follow this around and see. CHRIS: Yeah.
JESSI: Oh God, it’s right there.
She’s fifty-five feet in front of me.
CHRIS: I think. JESSI: Just wait.
I already screwed up. We can be slow.
Do you think I can shoulder this or do you think I have to be on the bipod?
CHRIS: Take my back and use it as a bipod.
JESSI: That’s the one I shot. He’s bleeding really bad.
(bleep).
I’m so sorry, caribou.
Three, two.
Okay, snacks and popcorn are gonna be expensive.
Let’s just accept that.
Going to the movies can be a lot
for young homeowners turning into their parents.
Bathrooms -- even if you don’t have to go, you should try.
We all know where the bathroom is and how to us it, okay?
You know, the Stevensons told me they saved money
bundling their boat insurance with Progressive.
No one knows who those people are.
-It can be painful. -Hand me your coats.
There’s an extra seat right here.
No, no, no, no, no. We don’t need a coat wrangler.
Progressive can’t save you from becoming your parents,
but we can save you money
when you bundle home, auto, and more with us.
No one who made the movie is here.
Stuff. We love stuff.
And there‘s some really great stuff out there.
But I doubt that any of us
will look back on our lives and think,
"I wish I’d bought an even thinner TV,
found a lighter light beer,
or had an even smarter smartphone."
Do you think any of us will look back on our lives
and regret the things we didn‘t buy?
Or the places we didn‘t go?
♪ I’d go the whole wide world ♪
(rifle shot)
JESSI: Thank God. Chris, the caribou just fell down.
So, I’m just gonna take it slow.
I’m gonna walk from here straight that way.
CHRIS: Yeah, see that, the left tree?
JESSI: Okay, I’m headed down.
JESSI: Yeah. CHRIS: This is really her first time all by herself.
She’s always had her dad or me as her hunting buddy.
It’s really important that she does everything by herself today.
Build that confidence.
There it is.
Come on, Jess.
She knows what she’s doing.
You got it, Jess. It’s perfect.
Come on, baby.
There it is.
She dropped it.
Right up in the shoulder.
Now it’s not getting away.
So, I’m gonna take all of our gear and I’m gonna start catching up with her.
JESSI: That was it. Caribou’s down. That was a direct hit.
God, please bless this animal.
CHRIS: Good job. Oh! JESSI: Hey.
CHRIS: Thank you for your life, caribou.
JESSI: We’re so grateful for you. CHRIS: Go easy, if you can.
JESSI: Bless us and forgive us.
CHRIS: Good job. JESSI: We did it.
CHRIS: I’m proud of you.
JESSI: Now we have a lot of work to do. CHRIS: Yeah.
We’ll get him gutted out and then I can just toss him on one of these sleds
and we can get him down onto flat ground,
a little easier to work with.
It’s gonna be one of those after-dark days, I think.
ROBERT: Good girl.
Patience is a virtue.
If you ain’t got patience, you probably shouldn’t be out there hunting.
RJ: The ducks, you know, seem to be a little bit more active.
You know, deer hunting’s not really an option.
Why not go duck hunting and make good use of the day.
Definitely try to keep your head down here.
ROBERT: I’ve been working with my dog to become a proficient duck hunter and retriever.
Hopefully, We’ll get my dog on her first duck.
(noises)
Oh, here comes two up the river.
RJ: Go ahead.
(gunshot)
Gotta lead it a little more.
ROBERT: These suckers are hauling butt.
Are they coming up here or leaving the bay?
I hope they’re not leaving the bay.
Here they come, lower our heads and duck.
They’re turning. Ah they turned out.
(duck calling sound)
RJ: Don’t shoot yet.
They don’t really wanna come sit right here quite yet.
Maybe the tide’s not high enough.
ROBERT: Might get some good jump shooting if I could walk around over there
and then maybe I could get some to come back to you, too.
What do you think? RJ: That’d be awesome.
ROBERT: I think I’m gonna give it a shot.
I think we’re just gonna change our strategy a little bit and see what happens.
My freezer’s low and we don’t have a lot of food piled up for the winter.
We gotta get some ducks.
(duck calling sound)
Looks like he’s got one flying over right now.
Worth a shot.
Two of them.
RJ: (bleep).
Sorry, Dad.
ROBERT: I heard RJ shoot just now.
He jumped on the ducks I was going to put my stock on up,
maybe if I hang out they’ll fly back and maybe I’ll get another chance at ’em.
RJ: They’re leaving.
Too damn smart.
ROBERT: Hey, bud. RJ: Hey.
ROBERT: I think the bay is dead. RJ: Yeah.
I think they’re smart. ROBERT: I was hoping you would have got that one
when you shot when I was over there.
RJ: Yeah, it was a straight on shot.
Probably about forty five, fifty yards so I felt pretty confident.
It was coming right at me.
But, I just don’t’ think I lead it far enough. ROBERT: Oh yeah.
I was thinking about something when I was over there.
Change up tactics a little and try to do what Grandpa used to do,
maybe hit that beach down the way. What do you think?
RJ: Let’s give it a shot.
JOHNNY: This time of year can be challenging with the frozen ground,
and all the snow.
You don’t wanna get into a potentially dangerous situation.
You gotta know when it’s time to get things done.
I just discovered that the birds, the squirrels,
have been stealing my chinking out of the cabin.
So, I’m going to get more moss down on the lake.
The moss there is very thick, very dense.
And that’s the moss I’m looking for to re-insulate the cabin.
Moss generally grows thick on this side of the lake.
It’s kind of the northern side of the lake,
and every time I’ve been over here I generally see
thicker moss than anywhere in this area.
Only difference is, it’s covered in snow now.
So, it might be frozen. Got the axe.
I just gotta kinda dig under the snow and hope for the best.
There’s some.
It’s actually not super common to find, big fluffy pillows of moss like this.
It’s like the snow kinda insulated the moss from freezing too much.
You know, if I waited a couple more weeks this would just be frozen solid.
This is coming up real nicely.
That’s what I’m after, right there, big old pillow of moss.
I’m honestly pretty lucky that I have this opportunity to still grab it,
and often this just freezes really, really hard.
Get the resources while you can, be prepared.
It’s good to come down and check on the old canoe.
It just started snowing kinda larger amounts last night.
I wonder how strong the ice is.
Let’s see if I can walk on it.
This is my highway.
Everything I do is on these lakes, hauling firewood, hunting, fishing.
And this time of year, it’s always a questionable time walking around on ice.
And it’s never the most um comforting feeling.
I’m not like Java.
She’s a little riskier than me, that’s for sure.

Oh yeah. Look at him pulling.
Okay, he’s a big boy.
That’s the biggest one I’ve seen yet.
He’s big.
My God, that’s a big fish.
Okay.
I just gotta be careful,
not only the fish’s mouth and his teeth, look at those chompers.
But he’s thrashing around, I don’t want to get this hook caught in me
so I’m just kinda taking it slow and careful.
Even though it’s pretty exciting, I just want to be calm,
so I don’t turn this into a disaster.
Okay. So, there’s the hook, let’s get that out of the way.
Be nice to catch one more before I called it a day.
I’m trying to harvest as much food from the land as possible.
We got one. I think this is the guy that was toying with earlier,
felt like the same bite.
This isn’t, this doesn’t feel as big but it’s a fish.
Let’s see who it is.
Oh wow, that’s a little baby.
Okay. We caught the biggest fish in the lake and now we caught the smallest.
That’s crazy.
Is that a pike too? That looks like a small pike.
This one’s so tiny I’m just gonna put this one back to be honest.
I think that every animal deserves a chance at life.
You know, they need to get their chance to you know, make babies.
All that stuff that they wanna do.
There you go, buddy.
It’s getting a little later in the day, it’s starting to cool off, so I’ll head in.
ROBERT: A big part of hunting for me is the journey.
From the beginning till the end.
If you don’t enjoy the journey, you’re probably not going to be a good hunter.
(duck calling sound)
RJ: As a duck hunter I would say that one of the biggest things is just
letting the ducks come into the decoys and trying to get in as close as possible
so you can have as confident of a shot as possible.
Just having the patience to let them get a little bit closer.
ROBERT: Now see if we can. RJ: Hold on.
ROBERT: Do you see something flying?
RJ: I couldn’t tell if those were swans or geese calling.
ROBERT: Oh. There’s one, to the left. See ’em?
(duck calling sound)
Turned down and landed there about a hundred yards.
(duck calling sound)
Man, be patient, they’ll keep bumping up with the tide coming in, probably.
I want to get all of some action, come on man.
There’s a dozen mallards sitting right over by ’em,
just on the other side of the pond there.
They’re just about ninety yards.
Way too far to shoot into the wind.
RJ: If they get close enough, we’ll pop up, they’ll fly and shoot ’em.
I just don’t like shooting ’em when they’re on the ground.
Feels like, unfair game. ROBERT: Not to me.
(laughs)
I might hit one then.
RJ: As long as their wing’s in the air it’s fair game to me.

Has a big ol’ head, if I had my twenty-two I might shoot him.
Oh, there he goes.
I mean this is the most impressive thing I’ve got here so far.
I mean look at the belly on that guy.
That’s pretty impressive.
That guy could chomp off my hand if he wanted to.
Those teeth are very sharp, they’ll get right through your gloves.
Under water these guys are the wolves, they’re just down there killing everything.
They even eat each other, pretty fearsome predator.
Look at this fish’s length and weight, I know.
If I rationed it out this one fish could probably keep me well fed
and well nourished for, you know probably several weeks.
It’s an immense amount of calories, fat, everything I need.
It’s a prize to be sure.
This, I assume this is his stomach so let’s see what he’s been up to.
Oh dang, looks like it’s full of another fish. Check that out.
That looks like fish meat.
He’s got a whole ’nother fish in his stomach, that’s why he’s so fat.
He hasn’t even digested it. Look at that.
Looks like a white fish. He just ate this,
probably just an hour or something before I caught him.
Here’s another species of fish I could be catching as well.
I think I got everything out that I want to, I’m going to leave,
I’m going to leave these eggs right in here just
so that they’re kinda safely transported.
I’ll just give this a dip in the water to get the blood off and then,
and then get out of here.
JESSI: Every single animal I harvest makes it possible for me to live this lifestyle,
and I don’t take that lightly.
Ugh!! (bleep). I hate this.
CHRIS: It just flopped to the other side.
JESSI: Okay. CHRIS: Man this thing’s tough.
Ugh!! I need a, I need a break.
JESSI: Holy cow.
CHRIS: Oh my god, can you hold this from moving? JESSI: Yeah, hold on.
Okay I got it. Got it?
Leaning sideways?
(labored breathing)
CHRIS: It’s killing me.
We still got at least a mile to trudge back to the snow machine.
I don’t think I can pull this up another mountain.
JESSI: Okay.
Let’s just cut him right here, right?
I’ll take some of the meat, you’ll take some of the meat
and we’ll just butch it right here.
CHRIS: I think that quartering up’s going to be the best bet.
Won’t be tipping over.
By the time we get this chopped up and back to the snow machine
it’s going to be full blown snowstorm.
JESSI: Holy smokes it’s coming in, right? CHRIS: Yeah.
JESSI: You can’t see anything anymore. CHRIS: Yeah.
JESSI: We need to get out of here fast.
CHRIS: The only thing we need to do still is take the uh fur
and place it over all the pieces we cut up,
flip it over, just like that and tuck him in.
Leave him with a little bit of dignity.
I learned this from the elders, they always said
just try to leave as much respect as you can.
JESSI: Thank you, caribou.
CHRIS: Thank you for your life, caribou.
You will feed us long into winter. We really appreciate you.
All right, let’s load up and get out of here.
Tie this last bit up.
JESSI: Gosh, you can’t see anything. Look at that.
CHRIS: I know, I’m hoping we don’t lose sight of where we came from.
We use the mountains as kind of like a guide but, they’re long gone.
And it’s still at least another mile ’til the snow machine.
JESSI: We gotta get out of here, quick.
(Driver 1) It‘s all you.
(Driver 2) No, I insist.
(Driver 1) It‘s your turn.
(Driver 2) Nope, I think it‘s your turn.
(Driver 1) I appreciate you so much, thank you so much... Go.
(Driver 2) I appreciate your appreciation. It fills me.

When you‘re driving a Lincoln,
stress seems to evaporate into thin air.
Which leaves us to wonder, where does it go?
Does it shoot off like a rocket?
Or float off into the clouds?
Daddy!
Or maybe it takes on a life all its own.
Perhaps you‘ll come up with your own theory
of where the stress goes.
Behind the wheel of a Lincoln is a mighty fine place to start.
And squish, and squish... ok good.
Keep squishing! Fingers relaxed...
And squish. Great!
Thank you, good job!

Hey you two, go outside and play.
Create a season full of playfulness.
Your Happiest Spring starts at Lowe’s.
Stuff. We love stuff.
And there‘s some really great stuff out there.
But I doubt that any of us
will look back on our lives and think,
"I wish I’d bought an even thinner TV,
found a lighter light beer,
or had an even smarter smartphone."
Do you think any of us will look back on our lives

Cool, thanks.
No problem.

Well invested.

JESSI: With the storm coming through we’ve got to get to our SnoGo and get to camp.
CHRIS: Man, this weather is really blowing in on us.
JESSI: Oh my gosh.
CHRIS: What a day.
JESSI: Oh god, it’s right there.
Holy cow, we’re here!
We made it back to the (bleep) snow machine.
Ugh!!!
Okay.
CHRIS: Good job, Jess. JESSI: Okay.
All right.
Need to tie anything down or do you think this is okay?
CHRIS: Yeah, we’re good.
JESSI: I’m ready.
Let’s go back to camp.
RJ: I gotta practice shooting a little more.
ROBERT: I feel like I was shooing pretty good. RJ: Yeah.
ROBERT: I was setting my targets and surprised me.
RJ: I think my trip’s just about finished right here, this one.
ROBERT: This one looks finished too, let’s see.
That tastes like turkey.
I think we should do this more often. RJ: Yeah.
I uh, I definitely think goose hunting might be
something I do pretty often.
’Cause that right there was worth it.
ROBERT: I’m gonna start hunting mallards now.
That is good.
I think I could even get my wife to fall in love this.
(laughs)
ALEX: Pike eggs from Deadman Lake.
It’s good.
Yeah, it was a great day fishing, caught this big monster.
I learned a lot more about the lake, what’s underneath the water,
how deep it is in different places. So,
that’s all gonna help me once it gets to ice fishing season. And
what I hope is that I can keep catching monsters like this.
Out here I can only live in the moment for the most part.
I mean sometimes you get all your, everything taken care of,
and you have a minute to sit there and,
and ponder the future but uh it’s very much living in the moment.
You know, I don’t feel like oh god it’s Friday, thank God it’s Friday.
I gotta go out and party or something and blow off some steam.
It’s like I don’t know what day, I don’t care what day it is.
Today’s the day when I eat the fish and enjoy the fire, you know?
Just like every other day.
JESSI: How many of these huge roasties do you think we got?
CHRIS: Oh, at least twenty-five or more. JESSI: Wow.
CHRIS: Oh, I can’t wait.
JESSI: Pretty fresh meat, Chris. CHRIS: Mm.
JESSI: Mm. Wow.
CHRIS: This is the best caribou I have ever had.
Give me one of these. JESSI: Gosh.
CHRIS: Wow.
JESSI: I’m so glad that it turned out
and that we’re gonna have something amazing for the rest of the winter.
I mean this is incredible.
Well, I think I could say, I mean besides being out in the Cosna
I wouldn’t be anywhere else.
This is fantastic.
JOHNNY: So, when it gets cold man, you can feel it blowing through the cracks.
You put moss in like this you won’t feel any of that cold.
Nice green, fluffy stuff.
This tool will just help me to stuff the moss in the cracks.
Soon as that cold starts coming in,
you’re either behind or you’re playing catch up.
So, I’m always trying to stay in tune with what’s going on in nature, with the animals.
And I’m always trying to be as prepared as possible.
I say old man winter throw what you want at me, because I’m ready for you.
