00:00Visitations, no practice runs.
00:01See if an old man still got what it takes to get the job done.
00:04And rookies emerge.
00:06They're sending one hell of a ride.
00:07Yeah!
00:09A new company reigns.
00:10Musky Creek, we have a very good reputation.
00:12We don't leave a load behind.
00:14While another confronts legacy.
00:16I started this business to pass it down to my boys.
00:18That was always the plan.
00:19I was introduced to tracking probably from birth.
00:23Get some fire!
00:25Tell me this don't get your heart pumping!
00:27Ah!
00:27On a long and lonesome highway north of civilization.
00:48We got something broke.
00:50Todd Dewey is stranded.
00:52Oh my gosh.
00:53He was forced to sleep in his truck after the road.
00:57Ripped out his airlines.
01:02Ah, son of a bitch.
01:06The brakes are completely locked.
01:08Hang on.
01:10Out here, every mile is a battle against nature itself.
01:15It's cold.
01:16You're by yourself.
01:18And just pray to God that you brought the right tools.
01:20This is broke.
01:21That's broke.
01:21This is broke.
01:22This is broke.
01:23That's broke.
01:24And this is broken.
01:25That's my main air supply right here.
01:27Unbelievable.
01:28The lines supply air pressure to the trailer's brakes and suspension.
01:35A pressure loss locks up the trailer's disc brakes.
01:38The lines must be reconnected and re-pressurized to unlock the brakes so the wheels can spin.
01:48Or Todd's not going anywhere.
01:50Stuck out in the middle of nowhere.
01:53I can't even size this down.
01:56Pretty frustrating.
01:56It makes the guy think, why did I come back up here?
02:00Is this something I really want to do?
02:01I don't have anything to go from this down to this small line to connect them.
02:05Those clamps, nothing.
02:07There are about six different airlines, six different fitting sizes going from the big to the small.
02:12And I don't even know if I have all the proper tools to fix it.
02:15It's been a long time since I've been up here.
02:17I'm 51 years old, starting to feel it.
02:19Musky Creek, we have a very good reputation.
02:26Whatever we commit to, we fulfill.
02:28We don't leave a load behind.
02:34Musky Creek has given me an opportunity to come back and see if I still have what it takes to be back on the ice roads.
02:40Oh, come on.
02:43I don't have the right parts to put it together, so I'm basically just half-assed out of it, trying to make it work, and I don't think it's going to.
02:50The only thing I can't get the screw together is this piece here.
02:53It's not going to be airtight, but it's enough to get some air to at least get back to at least moving.
02:59If I could just somehow get this son of a bitch to cross right on there.
03:05Oh, come on.
03:09Ow.
03:11Cut all the way open.
03:19In the remote northern community of Garden Hill.
03:35All right.
03:40I don't know if that's going to make it.
03:44I don't think so.
03:47Lisa Kelly is struggling to load the last piece of her backhaul.
03:50Oh, he's going to be stuck there now.
03:54Are you able to push him with the loader?
03:57And he finally got up and got the front wheels in.
03:58There's like a cap like that big.
04:00I'm like, I'm going to swallow those wheels.
04:02And I did.
04:03A couple hours ago, Lisa offloaded across town.
04:10Hey, thanks for unloading that.
04:12I really appreciate it.
04:13Yeah, no problem.
04:14And found out she'll make double the money for this trip.
04:17So, I have a backhaul that I need you to look after for me.
04:20It's quite urgent.
04:22If she can get the backhaul to Musky Creek on time.
04:25Tonight is the goal.
04:26That's what I'm pushing them for.
04:28The math is simple.
04:29If I get backhauls, I get double the money.
04:31The stakes are really high this year because I need, like, a lot of money really fast to get my truck running.
04:36That's why it's important that I get backhauls and I get my truck home every time.
04:40Are you going to get it out today?
04:41It's whether they're going to actually be able to get it onto the trailer.
04:47Yeah, it's happening.
05:09I'm happy where it's at if you want to turn it off.
05:12Yeah, I'll make it work.
05:17And the bus and the skid steer is going in to go get fixed.
05:20So, they're going to appreciate getting it fixed and getting it back here so they can use the equipment.
05:24Get their kids to school so they don't have to walk in this 40 below weather.
05:29Burn!
05:29After a cold night in Garden Hill...
05:46Big old bump.
05:49Lisa's running 800 miles back to Musky Creek.
05:53Driving a truck.
05:56And she's hauling more than machinery.
05:58Driving a big old truck.
06:01She's also carrying memories of an old job.
06:06I used to be a school bus driver.
06:11I need a Class A without restrictions to drive a big truck.
06:15But, you know, better to start somewhere, right?
06:17It was definitely challenging.
06:18I don't want to think I have heat going right now.
06:28Seriously?
06:29The freaking heat isn't working.
06:32It's freaking wintertime out here, man!
06:34Not having heat is going to be a serious problem.
06:42They don't call it an adventure for nothing.
06:54Ha ha ha ha ha!
07:01Racing through the northern wilderness,
07:04Scooter Ewell is making up time on his 800-mile adventure from Musky Creek to Red Sucker Lake.
07:10After problems with his wide load, delayed his departure.
07:1914.6, we can't haul this load.
07:21If we take the blades off, we're no trouble.
07:24I don't know if we're going to fit.
07:31I really don't know if we're going to fit.
07:35It's going to be tight.
07:37One thing I'm learning about these roads...
07:43Their bridges aren't very freaking wide.
07:47That is tight, tight, tight.
07:51But they did take the wings off this thing.
07:53She would have made it.
07:55That was scraping the edges, scraping the blade.
07:58No room for error on this.
08:03Woo!
08:04There we go.
08:07Yeah!
08:09That's what I like.
08:10This is a really cool...
08:16That is that.
08:19Holy...
08:21It's rough!
08:24Oh!
08:29Any more bumps, my boobs are going to smack me in the face and blacken my eyes.
08:35Being a black guy out here is not easy.
08:37I'm getting my exercise, so I'm getting the hip twists in.
08:41I'm getting the hip twists in.
08:44Yes, boy!
08:46Holy mother!
08:51Ice roads will always throw something at you.
08:54There's always a curveball coming.
08:57You get thrown around like a ragdoll.
08:59Road fish are pretty terrible, especially with the flat light going on.
09:03You can't see the contour of the road.
09:04And also, you hit big-ass potholes that you can't even see.
09:12No!
09:14No!
09:15No!
09:21On a remote ribbon of ice
09:22that temporarily tethers northern communities to the rest of the world,
09:27No!
09:28Scooter Yule's oversized load fits these roads
09:31like a fat guy in a little coat.
09:35Come on, big bird!
09:36Dig it!
09:38Eat!
09:39Come on, baby!
09:40Come on!
09:40Come on!
09:44When the going gets tough,
09:45there's only one choice.
09:49Hammer down.
09:50We almost lost her for good there.
10:09Good girl.
10:14I can't believe she pulled herself out through that.
10:17Oh, my God.
10:18I think Irwin just gave me a push out of that hole.
10:23Irwin's testing me to see if I'm worthy driving this truck.
10:26The driver that was assigned this truck
10:28serviced Muskie Creek for a very long time.
10:31Two years ago,
10:33Irwin Friesen.
10:34We lost him.
10:36Irwin was a huge part of Muskie Creek.
10:39I hope at the end of the season,
10:41I have proved that I can handle this truck and this job.
10:44Woo!
10:44Woo!
10:44Woo!
10:44Woo!
10:45Woo!
10:45Woo!
10:46Woo!
10:46Woo!
10:46Woo!
10:47Woo!
10:47Woo!
10:47Woo!
10:48Woo!
10:51450 miles to the west.
10:59We just had a call from Curtis Contracting.
11:02He had one of his graders go through on the
11:04winter portage road from Stony to Fond du Lac.
11:08Oh, it's in there pretty good.
11:09It's in there good.
11:10Sean Harris and sons Riley and Zach
11:12are teaming up to assist with an urgent recovery mission.
11:16We have to pick up an excavator for him.
11:18Are we going to have a pilot?
11:20Yeah, I'll run pilot.
11:21I'll take my truck.
11:24My name is Riley Harris.
11:26I'm 21 years old.
11:27Oh man, I was born in a truck.
11:29When you grow up with someone like my dad,
11:32that's kind of embedded into your DNA.
11:35He says he wants us to take over and he wants to retire.
11:38But I know for a fact he'll never, ever retire.
11:43He'll be micromanaging until the day he dies.
11:46He'll be butt heads quite a bit.
11:48This will be my first full season running ice roads.
11:51It'll be fine.
11:53As long as I don't do something stupid like hit the ditch.
11:55It's a pretty big job.
11:58This is a good test for the two boys.
12:01Riley and Zach are going to drive the semis.
12:02And I'm going to take the lead on this one.
12:05I'll be the guy in the front in the pilot truck.
12:07The Harris team is convoying 600 miles north to Stoney Rapids
12:11with Sean leading in a pilot truck.
12:14Then Riley.
12:15And then Zach.
12:16Each driving a big rig.
12:18We're going to put the buckets on this truck
12:21and you're going to drive it.
12:22Giddy up.
12:25Zach Harris.
12:25I'm 31.
12:27I'm a cattleman, a farmer, and a truck driver.
12:30I grew up around farming
12:31and trucking has been in the family for as long as I can remember.
12:35I was driving a truck without an adult in the cab
12:38at about three or four years old.
12:40I've never been on an ice road, but I think I can handle it.
12:43Just take it all in stride
12:45and start building on my skills a little bit more.
12:47Just don't die.
12:48That's my main goal for this season.
12:52You can go sideways on that road pretty fast.
12:55For 15 years, my dad has been telling me,
12:57I want you to take over all this one day
12:59and then to run it for yourself.
13:01And now I feel like I'm really at a point
13:03where taking over is pretty close.
13:05Okay, right on.
13:07Trisky, you need to stay here, bud.
13:13Am I in the middle still?
13:14This job is Riley and Zach's first test
13:18to prove they have the skills
13:19to run their dad's winter road business.
13:22Holy s***, that's too tight.
13:24Dad's got a reputation for getting things done
13:27that nobody else wants to do.
13:28He's willing to put himself in pretty risky situations
13:31to get a job done.
13:32That puts a fair bit of pressure on me.
13:35My first trip to the ice roads.
13:36What are you doing?
13:37What are you doing?
13:37Oh, s***.
13:44We blew a bag.
13:58Oh, s***.
14:00We blew a bag.
14:01It says back one here.
14:02Okay, the airbag is the bulk of your suspension.
14:06When that airbag blows,
14:08there's almost nothing
14:09holding up that part of your trailer.
14:12Now, the blown airbag must be removed and replaced
14:15before Team Harris goes anywhere.
14:18Ow.
14:19But their problems are just getting started.
14:23Now, we've got to torch the nuts off
14:26that are holding the bag on.
14:27It adds an extra headache.
14:29Stress meter is high.
14:30The nuts attaching the airbag are rusted on,
14:34and they don't have a replacement airbag.
14:37Hello?
14:39We need to find another airbag right away.
14:41Nobody in town has one.
14:42I'm going to Saskatoon right now to grab it.
14:44Oh, s***.
14:46Yeah, gone.
14:47I'll be back in three hours.
14:49Okay.
14:49See you in three hours.
14:52We could be struggling to get the f*** out of here.
14:55Oh, come on.
15:09Stranded in the middle of a remote ice road...
15:12We just sliced her.
15:14...Veteran Todd Dewey is frozen and bleeding
15:17as he MacGyvers the lines on his trailer
15:19so he can limp back to Musky Creek.
15:22In order to make it work,
15:23I'm putting stuff together
15:24that does not belong together.
15:26This is just what Mother Nature does
15:27to your trucks and your equipment
15:29while on the roads.
15:33I could also put these together
15:35for a service line, too.
15:38Jury rig this s*** together,
15:39and hopefully it just works.
15:42If I can cross-thread this one into this,
15:44I think I've got a better chance of survival here.
15:48It's not going to be 100%,
15:49but as long as we can hold air
15:50and it doesn't come apart,
15:51we're golden.
15:56That's not going to come apart.
15:58That's going on.
15:59That's what I'm talking about.
16:01Now,
16:02if I can connect this one to this one...
16:06Now I'm happy.
16:11There it is.
16:13Nice and secure.
16:14That can't fall down.
16:15So our airline is now connected.
16:17Our brake line's fixed.
16:19Hopefully she just holds together
16:20for the rest of the trip back.
16:21No more complications.
16:23Let's get out of here.
16:24It's not right.
16:25It's far from being correct,
16:27but it's going to hold air,
16:28and that's all that matters
16:28when we get back to rolling.
16:30Look, boys!
16:31Woo!
16:31Well, I've got a long journey ahead.
16:33I don't know if it's going to work.
16:35But hopefully it'll hold it together
16:36the whole rest of the way in.
16:37If it does,
16:40it'll be a miracle.
16:42There's always that chance
16:43if I not.
16:44Don's Bushpicks
16:45needs to hold together
16:47for the rest of the 650-mile journey
16:50back to Muskie Creek.
16:52Cut my whole fingernail
16:53straight to the top
16:54from the front to the back
16:55all the way.
16:56Luckily, they didn't rip the fingernail
16:57all the way off.
16:57That would really hurt.
17:00This ice road has been nothing
17:01but just kicking my ass
17:03the whole entire trip.
17:04It has not stopped at one time.
17:05No, nothing on the ice road
17:07comes easy.
17:08Nothing.
17:17Also fighting her way
17:19out of the frozen wilderness.
17:21I am cold.
17:22Lisa's pressing on
17:23with no heat.
17:25It's getting considerably worse.
17:27And now,
17:28she's flying blind.
17:30My windows are fogging up.
17:35Ugh, that made it worse.
17:38When your heat in your truck
17:39isn't working,
17:39like, your windows
17:40start frosting up
17:41and freezing over
17:42because there's just
17:42no circulation of any air in there
17:44and the only way to do that
17:45is to roll a window down
17:46and it gets even colder in there.
17:47Is that a hill?
17:49I can't even tell.
17:51Oh, yeah, it's a hill.
17:52Now, how far down does it go?
17:55Oh.
17:56About that way.
17:58I wonder what would happen
17:59if I tried the torch
18:00and heated the windshield up.
18:02It's really scary
18:03when you lose the heat
18:04in your truck
18:04because you're in these
18:05extreme cold conditions
18:07and then you immediately
18:08go right into
18:09problem-solving mode.
18:12Whoa.
18:13Oh, dang.
18:15It's doing something.
18:18A little bit of a hole going.
18:24Let's try that for a little ways.
18:25Let's clear it up for a minute.
18:26See how fast and far I can make it
18:32before it all fogs up again?
18:35I'll probably light my shoes on fire
18:38so I can have some warm toes
18:39for a minute.
18:40It's freezing cold.
18:42My heater gloves are almost dead
18:44and I don't have very much torch left.
18:48I don't know how to deal
18:49with this situation.
18:51It's so cold.
18:52How do I keep enough heat
18:54that I don't die out here?
18:55Now it's going into night time
18:58and it's going to start
18:59getting even colder.
19:15In a race to haul crucial equipment
19:17into the frozen north...
19:19Now we've got an extra headache.
19:22Stress meter is high.
19:23The Harris convoy is stuck
19:25at the starting line
19:26with a blown airbag.
19:28What do you think I...
19:29Whoa.
19:29Oh, shit.
19:31Blown bag!
19:33Without it,
19:34the trailer can't absorb
19:35the abuse of the ice roads.
19:37Now,
19:38the clock is ticking
19:39on their rescue mission
19:40to haul a huge excavator
19:42to a remote community.
19:43God.
19:44There you go.
19:51There you go.
19:55Well,
19:56I got her.
19:58Oh,
19:59right there.
20:02We do most of our own repairs
20:03in-house
20:04and that just comes
20:05from being raised
20:05on the farm.
20:07They're all buttoned up.
20:08My dad was a mechanic
20:10so he taught me
20:11everything I know
20:12and I've passed that
20:13down to my boys.
20:14Perfect.
20:16Get the show on the road.
20:22Hey, Zach,
20:22you're good to go, buddy.
20:24We're out of here.
20:24We don't have time
20:25to piss around.
20:26This excavator's a 911.
20:28It needs to be there now.
20:30It's got to roll now.
20:31We're behind the A-ball.
20:33Riley,
20:34everything's okay?
20:35Everything's...
20:36What's up to normal?
20:37Oh, yeah.
20:38I don't like everything's good.
20:39That old Max horsey horse
20:40might not be able
20:40to catch up to me.
20:46750 miles east.
20:57I am so cold
20:59I'm sick to death
21:00of being cold.
21:01I can't even see anymore.
21:04Daylight's dropping
21:05and taking the temperature
21:06with it.
21:08All right.
21:10I've got to figure this out.
21:11I'm thinking
21:12I'm going to check
21:13fuses first.
21:15And without a heater,
21:17the frozen wilderness
21:18is closing in on Lisa.
21:20It's getting colder
21:21and colder as we go,
21:22obviously,
21:23because it's like
21:23now it's going
21:24into nighttime
21:24and it's going to start
21:25getting even colder.
21:31My blower motor is out
21:33and I'm looking on here
21:34to see if I can find
21:35a blower motor
21:37fuse.
21:41It's pretty important.
21:43On the ice roads,
21:43my truck is the reason
21:44that I'm living
21:45out there
21:47and that I can survive.
21:49Yeah,
21:49I'm not seeing anything
21:50that's, like,
21:51obvious,
21:51but I'm going to pull...
21:54There we go.
21:56Not burned or anything.
21:58So it might just be
21:59the actual blower motor
22:00itself burned out.
22:06It's scary
22:07when you don't have
22:08heat out in minus 40.
22:10I have it.
22:10Oh, there we go.
22:12Okay.
22:13I don't see anything corroded.
22:14I mean,
22:15it looks good.
22:18So there's nothing
22:19I can really do.
22:21I'm out of ideas.
22:22Yes.
22:28Hey,
22:30does anybody get a copy
22:31that's near God's Lake there?
22:39Does anybody get a copy
22:41that's near God's Lake?
22:46Hey, Lisa,
22:47is that you?
22:49Yeah,
22:50it's me.
22:50Who's this?
22:51It's your worst nightmare.
22:52It's Scooter
22:52from Busty Creek.
22:55Right on.
22:55Do you know
22:56how to
22:57or where I can find
22:58anybody that
22:59can fix my heat
23:00for me in the cab?
23:02Not right off him,
23:04but we can meet up
23:05and take a look
23:06and see what your issue is.
23:08Where are you at?
23:09I'm heading towards
23:11Red Tucker Lake.
23:13There's a big
23:13bullet area
23:14by some tanks there.
23:15Did you want to meet there
23:16and we'll take a look at it?
23:17Yeah,
23:18that sounds good.
23:18Let's meet there
23:19and see if we can't
23:20get this fixed.
23:21I'm freezing cold
23:23and I have nowhere
23:24warm to sleep.
23:27This must be you here
23:37with all the blinky lights?
23:38This is me,
23:39a blinkity-blink.
23:45Want to play bumper cars?
23:47Sure.
23:48I thought you'd
23:54come in for me
23:55for sure.
23:57You see,
23:58I got him freaked out.
24:02Hey, Scooter?
24:03Lisa?
24:04I got no heat.
24:05Do you know
24:06anything about it?
24:08Show me.
24:08Let me take a look.
24:10What's that say?
24:11The...
24:12This is the...
24:12The HVAC cab control.
24:14Yeah.
24:14Yeah,
24:14that's the one.
24:16And Nick,
24:17I actually took this apart too
24:18and there is nothing
24:19I can do about this one.
24:20Where'd my picture go?
24:22There it is.
24:23I'm cutting your head.
24:24Yeah,
24:25that's what...
24:25Great angle.
24:27Stick a jumper wire
24:28in there
24:29and see if it works.
24:29I'm not doing that.
24:30I wanted to see
24:31if you get electrocuted.
24:32Yeah,
24:32I bet you do.
24:34I don't think
24:34it's your switch.
24:37You need a new blower motor.
24:38So there's no way
24:40to fix it
24:41or bypass it
24:41with a wire?
24:43Floor motors go,
24:44they go.
24:45You're...
24:45Sorry.
24:47That's kind of
24:48what I figured.
24:50Thanks.
24:51I'll send you the bill.
24:53I am still
24:54without heat.
24:58That means
24:59I'm sleeping
25:00in my truck
25:01in my winter clothes.
25:04Well,
25:04thanks for trying.
25:06Yeah.
25:07You need
25:08professional help.
25:09That ain't no joke.
25:13Do you want
25:13to meet up
25:13in the morning?
25:15All right.
25:16Meet up for coffee?
25:17Yeah.
25:17I'm sorry
25:18I couldn't help you,
25:18but you go get
25:20bundled up
25:21and see you
25:22in the morning.
25:23See you tomorrow.
25:24Come rescue me.
25:27Jesus.
25:30Winter road drivers
25:31always sleep
25:32with their cargo
25:33and that means
25:35a long,
25:35cold night
25:36for Lisa.
25:37I'm sleeping
25:38in my truck.
25:39Like this,
25:39I don't have
25:40many choices.
25:41It super,
25:43super sucks.
25:44so sick of being cold.
26:05Oh, man.
26:07My toes are just
26:15freezing.
26:16Lisa Kelly
26:17is an ice road
26:18veteran,
26:19but after her
26:19first night
26:20in the truck
26:20with no heat...
26:22You look cold.
26:24Yeah.
26:25...the ice queen
26:25needs to thaw out.
26:27Why don't we grab
26:28some breakfast
26:28and coffee
26:29and warm up?
26:30That'll be good
26:30because my food's
26:31all frozen.
26:33Makeup's frozen.
26:33That's okay.
26:36I didn't do my
26:36makeup and my hair
26:37this morning either.
26:40This place is awesome.
26:43Ooh, that's hot.
26:45Which is a word
26:46I haven't said
26:46in a few days.
26:49Lisa Kelly,
26:50her personality
26:50is unique,
26:51so we both
26:52kind of clicked
26:52really good.
26:53What's your opinion
26:54on these roads?
26:54It seems like
26:56to me that it's
26:56like kind of
26:57the tortoise
26:57and the hare
26:58type deal,
26:59you know?
26:59Yeah.
26:59Go fast enough
27:00to actually get
27:01there today,
27:01but go slow enough
27:02that you're not
27:02just breaking
27:03and going in the ditch.
27:04I'm a veteran now
27:05and not a rookie
27:06anymore.
27:08You like my load?
27:10I keep picturing
27:11myself as this
27:1127-year-old little girl.
27:14And then these
27:15new guys show up
27:16and they're like,
27:16I've been here a year.
27:18I was like,
27:18that's it?
27:20How many miles
27:21do you figure
27:21you're going to put
27:21on this year?
27:23As many as possible.
27:24I need to make
27:25some money.
27:26So,
27:27I got a proposition.
27:28Okay.
27:30Well,
27:30let's throw
27:30a $100 bet down
27:31and see who can run
27:32the most miles
27:32this winter road.
27:33$100?
27:34Yeah.
27:35It's something
27:35that keeps it fun.
27:36It keeps it fun.
27:38I think you're
27:38going to lose.
27:39So,
27:40a bet is a bet.
27:45This is going to be
27:47a real interesting season.
27:48I hope so.
27:50Let's order breakfast.
27:51Let's get some food.
27:54Running south
27:55after a narrow escape.
27:59Feels good to finally
28:00get this trip behind me
28:01and be rolling in
28:01with my back home.
28:03Don's glinting
28:04is struck back to base
28:05on a bush fix
28:06that should have been
28:07impossible.
28:11The bush fix!
28:14Makes the guy's
28:15second guess
28:15that was it really
28:16worth it to go back up here
28:17and put my whole body
28:18through this?
28:19I'm a little sore
28:20from pushing and pulling
28:21and prying boats on
28:23and trying to put
28:24airlines back together
28:25and my fingertips
28:27cut in half.
28:28I didn't think
28:28it was all going to
28:29hit so hard
28:29so fast
28:30right on the first trip.
28:33This is a lot of work.
28:36My mind's young.
28:37My body's definitely
28:38getting old.
28:40You know why
28:40the main reason
28:41I'm excited
28:42to get back in today?
28:43Because I smell like
28:44armpits and ass.
28:47And I want to shower.
28:49Finally,
28:50Musky Creek.
28:52This is exciting.
28:54Damn,
28:54it's good to see
28:55this place.
28:58Looks good to me.
29:00This load
29:00officially been delivered.
29:08750 miles
29:09to the northwest.
29:11Six axle wide load,
29:13five axle behind.
29:15On a frozen star
29:16cutting across the tundra.
29:18pilot truck,
29:20northbound.
29:22The Harris family
29:23is on an urgent
29:24rescue mission
29:25to deliver an excavator.
29:27We're almost done
29:29on our epic journey here.
29:30And they're within
29:32striking distance.
29:33And when do we
29:33start pulling hills?
29:36I had that same thought.
29:38I've always wanted
29:39to drive on the ice roads.
29:41I've heard a lot of
29:42stories about
29:43how dangerous
29:44the job can be.
29:44but I think
29:46I can handle it.
29:47God,
29:48you
29:49don't get too
29:50cocky yet.
29:52It's 32 years
29:53every time I hear it.
29:55You guys say
29:56like that.
29:57Eight minutes later,
29:58we're pulling them
29:58out of the rhubarb,
29:59so.
30:00Calm your
30:00there a little bit.
30:02Oh.
30:08Stay to your left
30:09and then just
30:10take her slow.
30:20Oh!
30:23Oh!
30:24Oh!
30:31The shoulder
30:36just gave out.
30:37I might have had
30:55a close encounter
30:56with the shoulder
30:57of the road here.
30:59All of a sudden,
31:00it just felt like
31:01the whole passenger
31:02side of my truck
31:02just fell out
31:03from under me.
31:04It was a sudden drop
31:05and a hard stop.
31:06Yeah,
31:08I'm going to need
31:08a little tug here.
31:11Is that what I
31:12said?
31:14Dummies.
31:15Well,
31:16I'm not that
31:16far in front of you.
31:17I can back up
31:18and pull you.
31:19Stop backing up,
31:20Riley.
31:21Okay.
31:23To help his brother,
31:25Riley needs to
31:25back up over a mile
31:27with a 100,000
31:28pound excavator
31:29on his trailer.
31:32Oh!
31:33When I talk
31:34like a big shot,
31:35that's what happens.
31:36These villains
31:37will swallow you
31:38and hurt me.
31:40Oh, my God.
31:50On the edge
31:51of the northern frontier,
31:53a soft shoulder
31:54is teaching
31:55Zach Harris
31:56a hard lesson
31:57on humility.
31:57The whole passenger
32:05side of my truck
32:05just fell out
32:06from under me.
32:07Don't worry, Zach.
32:08Your little brother's
32:09coming to the rescue.
32:12This accident
32:13is a word
32:13for a reason.
32:15It's a word
32:16that people
32:16have created.
32:18We've got to hurry
32:19it up here.
32:19because I've earned
32:21a little bit
32:21of a reputation
32:22for having mistakes
32:23and oopsies.
32:26I do my best
32:27to avoid it,
32:28but it just seems
32:28to find me.
32:29Got him.
32:49Okay,
32:50anybody learn
32:50any f***ing lessons there?
32:52You talk this s***
32:53and I paid the price.
32:56You f***er.
32:57You f***ing heads
32:58under your ass.
32:59The best thing
32:59about working
33:00for my dad
33:00is he can't fire me
33:01when I screw up.
33:05What'd I say?
33:05Eight minutes?
33:06What was it?
33:07Seven and a half?
33:08Maybe.
33:09I didn't have
33:09my timer on.
33:11Okay,
33:11get those hooks out
33:12and let's get going.
33:13I bet it wasn't
33:14even eight minutes.
33:16I've tried to teach them
33:17everything I can,
33:19but there's just
33:20some things
33:20you don't teach.
33:21They have to learn
33:21that themselves.
33:23Sometimes they're
33:24going to learn
33:24the hard way.
33:26It'll get you
33:27close to the edges.
33:28It'll make you free.
33:32650 miles
33:33to the southeast.
33:36I'm just so sick
33:38of being cold.
33:41It's exhausting
33:42when you can't
33:43get warm.
33:44Lisa's fighting
33:45through the
33:46frozen wilderness.
33:48Seriously?
33:48Seriously?
33:51Thirsty?
33:54Okay,
33:54yeah,
33:55that's going to work
33:55real good
33:56running out of water
33:56and there's another
33:57day to go.
33:59I'm out of every
34:00kind of heat source
34:01that I can think of.
34:02Toe warmers,
34:03heated gloves,
34:04the propane bottle.
34:06Like,
34:06the only thing
34:07making heat right now
34:08is my metabolism.
34:11And we all know
34:11how that goes
34:12when you turn 40.
34:13It's scary
34:16when you don't
34:16have heat out
34:17and minus 40.
34:18You could get
34:19hypothermia,
34:20you could get
34:20frostbite,
34:21I mean,
34:21you can freeze
34:22to death.
34:23You're just
34:24pretty much
34:24in complete
34:24survival mode.
34:26I just thought
34:27of something
34:28that's worth
34:29a shot,
34:30right?
34:31I could just
34:32get my toes
34:33warm for a second.
34:34I'd be okay.
34:34I know
34:40sometimes
34:42the blower motors
34:43get stuck
34:44and you can
34:45see if you can
34:46just knock it loose.
34:51As daylight
34:52ticks away
34:52and temperatures
34:53plummet,
34:54Lisa claims to
34:55hope that the
34:55blower motor
34:56is just stuck.
34:58She tries
34:58one final technique,
35:01percussive maintenance.
35:03That should
35:03be enough
35:04honestly.
35:06See if that's
35:07working.
35:09Dang it.
35:11Yeah,
35:12it's not working.
35:13I am desperate.
35:15Your brain
35:16doesn't have time
35:16to worry a whole lot
35:17when all you're
35:18doing is trying
35:18to survive.
35:22The engine
35:22part's warm.
35:26Yeah.
35:28Good thing
35:28engines
35:29source of heat.
35:30Out of options,
35:32Lisa resorts
35:33to using
35:33the engine heat
35:34to warm up
35:35enough for a
35:35final push
35:36back to
35:37Musky Creek.
35:38The problem
35:39is,
35:40sitting here,
35:41it just doesn't
35:41get me any
35:42closer.
35:48I'm just so
35:49afraid that
35:50I've got
35:51frostbite
35:51somewhere.
35:52At the end
36:10of an ice road
36:11deep in the bush.
36:12Yee-haw!
36:13I'm here.
36:15How's the roads
36:16coming in?
36:16Ha-ha!
36:17Ha-ha!
36:18That was fun.
36:19Scooter's adventure
36:20isn't over
36:21until the trailer's
36:22empty.
36:24You gotta get
36:24yourself this way.
36:26Back that way.
36:28You're gonna slide
36:29right off the edge
36:29there, man.
36:31Yeah,
36:31try to get you
36:32back up on the trailer.
36:34Go forward.
36:35Your right stick
36:37real slow.
36:38And slowly bring
36:39your left stick
36:40forward.
36:41Your other stick
36:41at the same time.
36:43I think it might
36:44be okay.
36:45Whoa!
36:52Okay.
36:54Yeah,
36:54it didn't work
36:55over too good,
36:55did it?
37:01Uh,
37:02you're into my tires.
37:06It was going good
37:07until it wasn't
37:08going good.
37:11We got a long
37:12night ahead of us.
37:14You can plan
37:15for a perfect
37:16frickin' offload.
37:18It'll never happen.
37:19I thought,
37:20hey,
37:20we'll bang it off,
37:21we'll do this,
37:21and we can go.
37:22Never happens.
37:23I knew it just...
37:25Okay.
37:40Oh!
37:41In the remote
37:53northern community
37:54of Red Socker Lake,
37:57Scooter's oversized load
38:06is more trouble
38:07at the end
38:08than it was
38:08at the beginning.
38:09Oh!
38:10Oh!
38:10Oh!
38:11Forks should've been
38:13on the other way.
38:14Underneath the blade,
38:15the blade's like this.
38:16Forks are here,
38:17lift up,
38:17snowcat level.
38:20Oh,
38:20get under the blade.
38:22What are you doing?
38:24Get both forks
38:25under the blade.
38:26holy...
38:40holy...
38:41what,
38:42what,
38:42unorthodox?
38:44Well,
38:45that was something else.
38:45how's the trailer look?
38:51How's the trailer look?
38:52At the rail.
38:53Yeah.
38:55Should we get the rest of this unloaded?
38:56Will it go easier?
38:58Oh,
38:58it'll go easier.
38:58Okay.
38:59Okay.
38:59Okay.
39:12Well,
39:13what can I say?
39:14We got her done?
39:14tough at the beginning,
39:17but you crushed it in the end.
39:21This is my first time
39:22in this area.
39:23I appreciate you guys
39:24letting me have
39:24me come to your community.
39:26I'd like to offer you
39:27some tobacco.
39:30Offering tobacco
39:30it's a good practice
39:32that's been around
39:32for generations.
39:35It's part of my heritage.
39:37Makes me feel good
39:38because I'm giving
39:39something back.
39:40Yeah,
39:40thank you.
39:41No problem.
39:41I really appreciate
39:42the hospitality.
39:43Community is really happy.
39:45Snowcat will help
39:46them build the winter roads
39:47easier now.
39:49It's all in one piece
39:50despite it going
39:51off the side of my trailer.
39:55I'm pushed.
39:56I'm beat up.
39:56I'm tired.
39:57I'm ready for bed.
39:59Do it all again tomorrow.
40:01That's what we get paid to do.
40:02That's why we do it.
40:03I made it back to Muskie Creek
40:31and I'm ready to
40:33put the truck in the shop
40:34and go get warm.
40:39Not only is it
40:40one of the toughest trips
40:41but all the problems
40:42just made it
40:43that much harder.
40:45It's like,
40:45really?
40:45Really?
40:46We gotta do this?
40:47I haven't ever had to drive
40:49that long
40:49without heat before.
40:51Ever.
40:52Ever, ever, ever, ever.
40:54Ever.
40:55This truck needs to
40:56sit in a shop.
40:58It's all not good enough.
41:01It feels really good
41:02to help out the communities
41:03when you take the stuff
41:04in there that they need
41:05because it's a cool part
41:07of the job.
41:07I mean, it's not just
41:09a paycheck.
41:09It's actually helping people
41:10and good riddance.
41:13But I need that truck
41:14to run.
41:17It's my moneymaker.
41:18It's my moneymaker.
41:48Oh, gosh.
41:50Hell, gosh.
41:53Oh.
41:54It's a drink of fire.
42:00I can't move forward.
42:03I'm gonna try to move backward.
42:05Oh, come on.
42:07This is gonna be a nightmare.
