Season 1

In this land of bitter cold, extreme landscape, and vast distances, even the simplest activities — taking out the trash, commuting to work, or catching fish — carry the potential for peril. Join host and Alaskan Geo Beach as he meets the gutsy individuals who take danger to another level to tackle the state's riskiest jobs: heli-loggers who fly to inaccessible regions to haul timber, gold miners who blast through rock in brutal temperatures, and railroaders facing avalanches and earthquakes on lines that cross some of the most treacherous terrain in the world. From remote bush communities in the state's interior to the westernmost point of the Aleutian Islands, from the windswept Arctic tundra to the rocky coastal mountains of the southeast, Tougher in Alaska is about what it really takes — spirit, self-reliance, ingenuity and technology — to live and thrive in this great land.
