As the warm weather dwindles, the Kilchers need to make a final push to catch as much fish as possible to fill their reserves to survive the winter.

The Kilcher's herd needs permanent protection from Alaska's wild predators so Atz sets out to build a proper fence; scouring for materials and transporting them through rough terrain.

The push to stock up on food supplies continues for the Kilchers and pushes them into dangerous territory with bears all around to try and land some big venison stocks.
