It takes a ton of guts to make it in Alaska. In this land of bitter cold, extreme landscape, and vast distances, the simplest activities – taking out the trash, commuting to work, or catching a fish – carry the potential for peril. Join host Geo Beach as he meets the gritty individuals who shoulder the state’s riskiest jobs: heli-loggers who fly to inaccessible regions to haul timber, gold miners who blast through rock in brutal temperatures, and railroaders facing avalanches and earthquakes on lines that cross some of the most treacherous terrain in the world.
Produced by HISTORY™, this 4-DVD set ventures into the far north where truckers brave hundreds of miles of deadly roads to transport oil, and wolves plague family pets even in the city. Every episode explores the dogged determination of the folks who live and thrive in this harsh land, forcing you to ask, would I have what it takes to tough it out in Alaska?
