The Kilchers deal with changing Alaskan climate as warmer weather stays around a bit longer and results in new dangerous challenges including long treks to hunt for essential meat.

The unseasonable warmth continues which creates new problems for the Kilchers as they attempt their already dangerous spring cattle drive.
