Alaska: The Last Frontier

The harsh winter has forced the Kilchers indoor for nearly eight months. Restlessness and a need for fresh meat send Eivin and Atz Lee out to hunt, but they get caught overnight.

The family has several projects to complete before the spring thaw floods the area. Atz Sr. and his three sons build a bridge, while Otto and Eivin create amphibious crafts and Atz Lee and Jane build a smokehouse.

Spring arrives on the homestead. Atz and family head out on a bear hunt. Meanwhile, Otto gives CPR to premature calves, Eve plants the garden and Eivin takes on a miniature menace.

Atz Lee and Jane climb reefs to hunt for octopus and Jane must face her fear of heights. Meanwhile, Otto struggles to keep a newborn calf alive, and Eve gives Eivin news that will change the homestead forever.

Eivin and a pregnant Eve decide to finally add running water to their home, but Eivin hits more than water during the installation. In the meantime, Otto builds a milking parlor, while Atz and Atz Lee hunt bear.

Atz Sr., Atz Lee and Jane travel to the highest peaks to hunt for goat, while a wasp infestation destroys Eivin and Eve’s honey harvest. Then, Otto and Charlotte get creative to protect what's left of their hay crop.

The Kilchers come together to enjoy the fruits of their year-long labor on Thanksgiving and share each dish's story, but nothing comes easy when making this feast.

A porcupine nails several of the Kilchers' animals with quills and taking them out is a painful and dangerous procedure. Also on the homestead, Atz and his family carefully jack up and move an old, abandoned cabin.

Homestead holidays bring gifts of kindness as Otto decides to give his "Wacky Yak" to a friend, but the gift rejects the idea of being given. Atz Lee gathers lumps of coal, while Atz deals with cows on ice.

Otto and Eivin use a duck hunt for some last-minute, father-son time before Eivin becomes a dad himself. Atz and Atz Lee's father-son bonding time is less fun as they repair the new bridge. Jane has her own adventure fishing.

Atz Lee and Eivin take a bushplane to a remote island to hunt deer. While Eivin is away, a very-pregnant Eve struggles with the chores. Meanwhile, Charlotte scrambles to save a cow and Atz cleans his chimney, Kilcher style.

The Kilchers take care of last minute projects before the winter freeze, and the baby, arrive. Jane faces wicked weather and quicksand while on her very first cattle drive. Later, Eivin and Eve introduce the newest Kilcher.
