A year in the life for families in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

The production crew goes behind the scenes, with unseen footage from the series; with harsh autumnal weather, the Lewises struggle to get their boat up river.

It's Fall In the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and that means animals are on the move. Heimo pursues the tail end of the caribou migration, a bear ransacks Bob's cabin, destroying 2 years of dry meat, and the Lewis family arrives to sign of moose.

Winter is coming, so Heimo pursues a moose that will feed Edna and him for months. Meanwhile, Bob packs up his hunting gear, but runs into trouble when his boat's engine malfunctions; and Tyler and Ashley find their cabin flooded by a rising river, and later, after a week of salmon fishing, their catch is raided by a bear.

A hunt for a bull moose, which can feed a family for the winter, is critical before temperatures drop to 50 degrees below zero and can make being outdoors even more dangerous.

With summer fading and trapping season around the corner, Heimo Korth works to build a new cabin for his family. The Seldens settle in and look to fill their larder with moose meat, while the Lewis family attempts to reach an old homestead by boat.

The countdown to winter continues as Heimo breaks ground on the new cabin. Bob & his daughter embark on a river journey to the cabin where she was raised. The Lewises resurrect their first cabin in the bush, a place abandoned for nearly 18 years.

Preparations for winter continue, and focus centers on finding food. Heimo pursues caribou meat, while Tyler & Ashley score big game, building their confidence in the bush. Bob & his daughter reminisce on the past as they arrive at their cabin home.

As the Arctic Circle's short summer nears its end, The Last Alaskans begin their preparations for another winter on the trapline.

As The Last Alaskans settle in to their fall routines in preparation for winter's trapping season, several visitors make their way out to the cabins. Heimo and Edna roll out the red carpet for their youngest daughter Krinn and new grandson, Colby.

The Last Alaskans are finally home - some for the winter, others for a much shorter stay. Heimo and his youngest daughter Krin hunt for caribou. The Seldens have helpful visitors and an exciting announcement. Bob arrives back at his cabin.

Heimo stalks his best hunting grounds and Tyler tracks caribou as the pressure is on to get a big kill before the harsh Alaskan winter takes hold. Charlie inspects his traplines but damage from summer wildfires puts his season in jeopardy.

Charlie scrambles to secure his first big kill and rebuild his traplines. Heimo's daughter Krin and family arrive in the refuge but are tested immediately when their cabin is uninhabitable. Bob struggles with his health.

Tracking a caribou herd, Heimo's daughter Krin and her husband Scott are out to prove they can make it in the refuge. Tyler and Ashley look to make a major improvement running water in their cabin.
