Everyone in Tanana goes hunting as fall becomes winter; the younger generation get a chance to prove they can take down the big game needed to survive the winter.

Another savage winter rolls in and villagers run out of time to prepare for minus-50-degree weather as a deadly storm surges toward Tanana.

The brutal winter arrives and a cold snap pushes temperatures to 20 below zero; a deadly predator steals from a vital trap line that results in a face-to-face confrontation.

Winter is around the corner and food and fuel are running low; snow has not fallen in weeks, leaving dry and jagged trails too dangerous to travel on; the shortage of snow impedes on preparation for the cold season.

An abnormally cold spring causes the Yukon River to flood; the people of Tanana prepare for the consequences, already on high alert after a black bear attack.

With the new road still up for debate, the townsfolk of Tanana must use some Yukon ingenuity to get supplies and even a full-size truck into town.

While guns are the primary and most efficient way to hunt out in the Alaskan wilderness, they're not always reliable and ammunition is expensive; the younger generation must prove they can hunt with older, more conventional means.
