Sometimes the resources close to home can become depleted, and then it is time for all to venture further afield to new areas, that have the potential to offer a better lifestyle.
With temperatures dropping to all time lows, battling the elements, in order to secure basic supply necessities such as food and water, is getting even more difficult, and some innovative solutions are put in place.
If you can't go and buy it, then make it yourself. Alaskans show how to make river crossings, cross country ski's, new water sources and better wood lots.
A moose that died of natural causes must be moved far from the Rowland homestead to draw predators away from the homestead. The Morse's invest in a new snow machine, and Alex refines his fishing techniques.
Whether it is a way of fishing, finding different game to hunt, ways to trap, or even ways to do the every day chores, the pioneers must continually adapt and and find new methods in order to survive.
Even simple things like collecting wood can end in disaster on the treacherous late winter ice, but with winter coming to an end, preparing for the summer activities takes priority in the lives of the Alaskans.
Getting food in harsh conditions is difficult enough, but that same food also needs protecting from animal predation, and from spoilage due to too high temperature, so root cellars and meat platforms are needed.
With spring and summer just around the corner, some resources are getting a little easier to obtain, and everyone looks forward to warmer days and more sunlight.
