Winter’s icy grip tightens on the Mountain Men, pushing them to their limits in this week’s episode. In Alaska, Lauro faces the daunting Denali Highway, his dog team a blur against the snowy landscape as he embarks on a grueling 300-mile Iditarod training run.
Meanwhile, Bret and Ivy trade their trapping lines for moose hunting, a pursuit that culminates in a dramatic encounter with a massive bull. Mike wages war against nature’s own engineers – beavers – whose dam-building prowess has washed out a crucial bridge, threatening his access to vital resources.
Down south, the challenges are no less demanding. Tom lends a hand to Paul, sharing the burdens of trapline maintenance and the messy but essential task of skinning their catch. Jake, ever the tracker, sets his hounds on the trail of a predatory lion, but the chase takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon a different feline foe.
Each man’s ingenuity and resilience are put to the test as they grapple with the unpredictable forces of their respective environments.
