Nation Untamed

Sam and Chuck travel to the Painted Warriors Ranch in Alberta to learn traditional Métis bush skills, including identifying medicinal plants, fire-starting, and horse packing, before being put to the test on an overnight adventure.

A visit to a Manitoba bison ranch where they harvest, skin and butcher the animals by hand leads to an unexpected adventure. The guys also spend time at a Saskatchewan First Nation that’s re-establishing its own herd.

The guys travel to Southwestern Colorado to learn about the Southern Ute Tribe.  Trekking through the magnificent San Juan Mountains in search of mountain lion, they come face-to-face with an apex predator.

Sam & Chuck spend a few days as helpers on a large northern Saskatchewan trapline where they learn new techniques from Woodland Cree trapper Jarret Nelson. They also learn how to catch the elusive Lynx, an animal that Chuck has never trapped.

In the dead of winter, Sam and Chuck head to Lac du Flambeau to learn the ways of the Ojibway, where they head out onto the frozen lakes, learning the traditional ways of hunting gigantic muskelunge in the dark waters of frozen lakes in Wisconsin.

The guys journey to Northern Saskatchewan to experience traditional dogsledding and snowshoeing at a remote camp that is helping keep Cree culture and language alive.
