The Last Alaskans: No Man's Land

With winter on the horizon, the Last Alaskans must set trap lines, hunt for big game and devise ways to stock their freezers to avoid starvation.

The frontier rarely gets guests and visiting hours dwindle as winter approaches; an uninvited guest threatens to take down a cabin from the inside out.

Out on the last frontier every able-bodied person needs to pull their weight and hunt big game; new mother Krin struggles with the balance required to hunt for meat when it means leaving her infant son at home.

Humans may be at the top of the food chain but bears are the biggest threat to people, their homes and their food stocks out in the Alaskan wilderness, and they're waking up hungry.

Team work is essential for survival in the Alaskan Wilderness and in no case is that more true than stalking and hunting big game; bull moose can fill a freezer but it can also take a life.

Hunting in the Alaskan wilderness isn't just about skill, it take a fair amount of luck, but bringing the big game down is only part, bringing it home is another challenge.

The Last Alaskans aren't the only ones in the wilderness hunting for game, the wolves are too; normally trap lines are a convenient way to catch multiple animals, but the wolves are using them as a buffet.

While much is done during the warm months in Alaska, the winter is a vital time for trapping in order to provide both meat and fur; with unseasonably warm temperatures, people are struggling to cover ground without the use of snowmobiles.

Some of The Last Alaskans have been in the wilderness for generations; as one prepares to celebrate a birthday, others commemorate the dead, and one frontierswoman inches closer to delivering a new life into the wild.

Some of the Alaskans will head back to society, as others will make the choice to stay in the wilderness.

The Moore family struggles to keep the dog breeding business afloat; local sled dog rival James swoops in to take advantage of the Moore family despairs.

The flood is on the front door steps of the village and the people set out to conquer the overflow; the Yukon men must seek higher ground as the record breaking flood could wipe the town off the map.
