Alaska: The Last Frontier on Discovery

Season 2, Episode 1
MIDSEASON PREMIERE: Late fall. Half the herd returns early from the summer grazing grounds so the Kilchers drive the rest home across icy rivers. The family rushes to finish other winter prep work but still makes time for a beach-scavenged gourmet picnic.

The Kilchers live off the land, spending the limited months of summer and fall gardening, hunting and fishing for food, gathering supplies from the land and preparing their animals' safety in preparation for surviving the harsh Alaskan winters.  Most live completely off the grid, with no running water and no electricity - and are proud of it.

Eve Kilcher discovers that one of her hens is eating its own eggs.

Jane Kilcher and her husband Atz compare their hauls for the day.
