On Alaska’s south coast the Kilcher homesteaders stockpile fuel, secure food, and prep their homes for winter; but have they done enough to survive the freeze?
The first storm of the winter is fast approaching and the Kilchers race to finish preparing for the next eight months. Atz Sr races ahead of the storm to lead a herd of cattle.
Atz Lee must race to restore their fuel supply before an approaching storm batters the homestead. Plus, can Charlotte save a newborn calf from deep snow?
The extended Kilcher family struggles through a record-breaking harsh winter. Desperate for food, Atz Lee and Jane venture into the brutal elements.
Spring finally arrives on the homestead. Eivin mills lumber, builds a large chicken house from scratch and helps his wife Eve take out a rogue cannibal hen.
Otto and his family battle the elements and predators to drive their cattle to the summer pasture. Atz Lee and Jane build a makeshift greenhouse from cast off supplies.
