Iron Resurrection

5 Seasons
No matter the type - busted bikes or rusted out roadsters - every vehicle deserves a second chance to shine. Outside Austin, Texas mechanical master Joe Martin, winner of Discovery Channel's "Biker Build-Off", his wife Amanda, his best friend Jayson "Shag" Arrington and their team at Martin Bros Customs are breathing life back into vehicles of all kinds, shapes and sizes. Part pickers, part wheeler dealers and part custom fabrication, each episode finds Shag and Amanda scouring the Texas countryside for hidden, unpolished mechanical gems to bring back to the shop for Joe and his crew. Amanda, the beauty and brains of Martin Bros Customs, keeps the jobs rolling out and the dollars rolling in with her uncanny knowledge of every backwoods shed and car lot in the state. While Shag, dubbed "the fastest mouth in the south," uses his gift for gab and marketing skills to get the best deals possible. Then it's back to Martin Bros Customs where Joe's small but mighty team of Shorty, Mike, Jason, Manny and Pompa work metal magic on Shag and Amanda's finds in order to turn Joe's vision for the unpolished gems into shiny, hot rod reality. In the end Shag works his magic with a new buyer to get the highest price for the revived Martin Bros Customs creation. Raising the dead is never easy, but together this Texas team of gearheads can restore any rusted pile of metal into the hottest cars and craziest choppers in the world.

Alaskan Bush People

14 Seasons
A journey deep into Alaska's bush, where naturalist and adventurer Billy Brown, along with his wife, Ami, and their seven children, chooses to live life on his own terms, connected to wild nature and bonded to each other. The family of nine strives to be self-sufficient against all odds- often shunning modern society to live off the wilderness and to walk where no man has ever walked before. After the tragic death of his parents and sister that left him orphaned at 16, Billy Brown vowed to live life on his own terms and create his own family to reclaim the love that he lost. With Ami by his side, Billy traveled the lower 48 states and eventually found home in the sprawling landscape of the last frontier, where they have spent most of the last 30 years raising their children. "Our family is doing what is natural for human beings to do. We survive on what we hunt, fish, trap and barter for," Brown says. "We explore, we wander, we live. If you think about it, it's the life we were meant to live."
