Summaries

Follow the men of Tanana, Alaska, through the seasons as they navigate daily life in this remote Yukon River village.

Follow the men of Tanana, a remote village in Alaska by the Yukon River, on their everyday life throughout the four seasons. Every second counts, because as winter is getting closer and the days are getting shorter, they only have so much time to gather enough supplies to last through months of total darkness and extreme coldness. They will have to hunt, fish and trap to survive, and there is always a new problem to encounter with every task. Some will have to fight for their lives, while others will have to protect what's theirs from the wilderness.

The men of Tanana have to work hard to hunt and fish to live a hunter/gatherer lifestyle for their families. They work individually and together in this small town of 200 so everyone is cared for. You don't see them any closer than when one family is in need; for whatever reason. This shows the ups and downs of a small isolated town in the middle of the harsh wilderness of Alaska.
