The “Mountain Men” are back, and this time, it’s Code Red. This week’s episode throws the rugged outdoorsmen into a series of high-stakes situations, testing their skills, resilience, and frankly, their luck. From subzero Alaskan temperatures to aggressive wildlife encounters, the challenges are relentless.
Marty Meierotto, braving a brutal Alaskan winter, makes a last-ditch effort to secure furs before heading home. Meanwhile, Mike Horstman, never one to shy away from hard labor, carves a road into a steep ridge, aiming for improved access to hunting grounds. His ingenuity is on full display as he tackles the difficult terrain.
Down in the Southeast, Daniel Peters faces treacherous waters in a risky wolf-trapping mission on the islands. The unpredictable currents and the elusive nature of his prey create a precarious situation. And then there’s Jake Herak, whose routine patrol takes a dangerous turn when his dogs tangle with a mountain lion. It’s a mountain emergency that demands quick thinking and decisive action.
As if those weren’t enough, Paul Antczak also battles the elements when his snowmobile breaks down, jeopardizing his efforts to trap bobcats and marten. It’s another reminder of how quickly things can go south in the remote wilderness.
This week’s episode really shows the unpredictable nature of off-grid living. Resourcefulness and resilience are essential for survival, and the “Mountain Men” demonstrate both in spades. While the drama is undeniably amped up, the episode also offers a look at the ingenuity and determination required to thrive in these harsh environments.
“Mountain Men” airs Thursday, November 21st at 9:00 PM ET on History.
