The Last Alaskans - Season 1 Episode 1

In the series premiere of THE LAST ALASKANS, three families living in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge prepare for the upcoming winter due to arrive in just four weeks. It is September in Alaska, and Heimo and Edna Korth set out to hunt down the tail end of a caribou migration. Bob Harte arrives at his cabin to find it was ransacked by a young grizzly bear, destroying two years of his food supply, which ultimately forces Bob to fly his small single propeller plane to a tiny village located hundreds of miles away to resupply. The Lewis family of five arrives at the refuge with hope as signs of life have returned to the land surrounding their home after a wildfire forced most of the native animals to flee three years earlier. Once settled, Ray and his teenage daughters compete with hungry wolves to take down a moose in order to feed their family throughout the harsh winter. Later, both Heimo and Bob confront the personal tragedies that come with living in extreme isolation nearly 400 miles from civilization.
