Alaskans must travel through unfamiliar, freezing and treacherous territories to harvest new and necessary resources, preparing themselves for a dark winter in the Arctic.
The struggle for survival continues this season for Sue Aikens, Jessie Holmes, Glenn Villaneuve and the Hailstone family as the onslaught of winter looms once again in Alaska.
With the last of the longer days coming to an end, the Alaskans must travel through unfamiliar territories and stockpile resources before the waterways freeze and winter's dark, brutal conditions overtake the land.
But as the nights draw in, the inhabitants have fewer daylight hours to build vital tools, hunt for food and sharpen their survival skills.
They work hard, but life is tough when you live off the grid, miles from the nearest road - and those who dwell on the frontier of the Arctic must do whatever is in their power to secure their homesteads for the cold, dark winter that lies ahead.
