The Last Alaskans - Season 1 Episode 5

With the beginning of winter setting in, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is now losing 10-minutes of crucial sunlight each day. Soon, the refuge will be concealed by darkness for the next 67 days. Heimo takes advantage of what little light remains and continues to set up traps in hopes of him finding game before complete darkness overtakes the refuge. While Heimo continues to hunt, Tyler and Ashley try to find food by ice fishing while they trek 15 miles from their lake cabin to take their dogs out for the first sled run of the season. Later, Bob travels into town to see his daughter, Talicia, and determine the status of his plane after he nearly dies in a crash three weeks prior. When he receives bad news about possible internal damage, Bob wonders if he is getting too old to fly.
