00:00All right, son of a bitch.
00:04Fearless drivers risk everything.
00:06Out here, you can freeze to death.
00:08Either you just try not to die.
00:10Chasing big paydays.
00:12I'll make it work.
00:13If I get back hauls, I get double the money.
00:14To haul in crucial supplies.
00:17I'm ready to roll.
00:18Before the opportunity melts away under their chained tires.
00:25Woo!
00:26This season, veterans return.
00:29No hesitations, no practice run.
00:31Back to bumping up and down.
00:33See if an old man still got what it takes to get the job done.
00:36And rookies emerge.
00:37This is going to be one hell of a ride.
00:39Yeah!
00:39Yeah!
00:40A new company reigns.
00:42Musky Creek, we have a very good reputation.
00:44We don't leave a load behind.
00:45While another confronts legacy.
00:48I started this business to pass it down to my boys.
00:50That was always the plan.
00:51I was introduced to trucking probably from birth.
00:55The winter window is shorter than ever.
00:58We got to get going.
00:59Pull out!
01:00Pull out!
01:00Pull some out.
01:01Forcing everyone to burn at both ends.
01:03It's exhausting when you can't get warm.
01:06Feel beat up, chewed up, and spit out.
01:09Oh!
01:09Fighting an unrelenting battle.
01:12Ow!
01:12Got all the way open.
01:15Against the unforgiving wilderness.
01:19I'm just so afraid that I've got frostbite somewhere.
01:23Out here, it's me versus nature.
01:25On the western hemisphere's northern frontier, the race is on.
01:42You're going into the bush.
01:45It's you against mother nature.
01:47Mother nature is unpredictable.
01:50And the most ambitious company on the ice roads is Musky Creek.
01:55My problem right now is that we have so much forecasted right now and so many commitments, I'm short on drivers.
02:04We've got seven loads to load tomorrow.
02:07My name is Bill Dan, and I'm the operations manager here at Musky Creek.
02:11Apparently, there's an air leak on the air tank.
02:15Did anybody do anything about it?
02:17Our primary goal is to service northern communities via winter road access.
02:23With about six weeks of winter roads, we have to slam these loads in as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
02:30Some of the communities that we go to, their only source to get food, building materials, is by winter roads.
02:39It's crucial in that short window that we have, we get as much freight up into those communities so that they can sustain for the next year.
02:49Bill, Todd, nice to meet you, buddy.
02:55Nice to meet you.
02:56I've heard a lot about you.
02:59I'm Todd Dewey, and I come from a little town called Fort Angeles, Washington.
03:08After spending five, six years up here being on the ice roads, you know, if it comes a party, you're going to come around.
03:13I got four beautiful daughters at home, and they were at that age where they needed dad around, so I kind of took a step back from the ice roads a little bit.
03:24The last nine years of my life, I have really focused on family, home.
03:30Now that I'm an empty nester and the daughters are gone, it's like the ice roads have been calling me, Todd, Todd.
03:35I'm taking on this challenge this year because I have a chance to actually make some money, build a nest egg back for me and my wife now, and buy in my own big rig.
03:46Musky Creek, we have a very good reputation.
03:49Whatever we commit to, we fulfill.
03:51We don't leave a load behind.
03:52So Garden Hill is where your load is going to be going.
03:55Then from there, you're going to cross the ice.
03:58Then you're going to travel down here to St. Teresa Point.
04:00That's going to be where I need you to pick up the back hole.
04:02Okay, you got it.
04:03Todd's burning 800 miles to Garden Hill.
04:06Then he's crossing Island Lake to pick up his back hole in St. Teresa Point.
04:12It's loaded, it's ready, it's secured.
04:14Just a load of screw piles.
04:15They go into the ground.
04:16You can't start the building until those are in, right?
04:18There's a housing shortage in Garden Hill, so all loads, materials, it's all critical.
04:23Gotcha.
04:2410-4.
04:25My biggest concern is that he may have lost his edge.
04:29I really can't afford any mistakes to happen.
04:33You know, I'm coming up here with a super set of skills that not a lot of guys have.
04:42I'm 51 years old.
04:44I don't know if I've got what it takes anymore to do these roads, but I'm going to hit it hard,
04:48and I'm going to see if I can make myself some good coin.
04:50Am I nervous?
04:52Absolutely.
04:53See if an old man's still got what it takes to get the job done.
04:55600 frozen miles to the north.
05:02I am kind of nervous today to see what we find.
05:06Sean Harris, owner of Harris & Sons Transportation, is checking the ice thickness on Wollaston Lake
05:13to see if it's safe for big rigs.
05:16We're going to drill a hole or two and check the thickness and know how long before we're going to be able to go across that crossing with large loads.
05:24The Wollaston Lake community is only accessible by boat, or a 25-mile ice road when the lake freezes.
05:35They've had so much snow into Wollaston, it ended up insulating the ice.
05:39The ice would not thicken up.
05:40It wouldn't form properly.
05:42We're way behind on getting the roads ready to go for our heavy loads to cross them.
05:46My name is Sean Harris, and I'm 51 years old, and I own a trucking business in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
05:58When I started this business, I called it Harris Logging and Transport.
06:03Years down the road, when the boys got involved, I changed it to Sean Harris' sons.
06:08At a young age, 17, 18, I went and got my license, and right out of trucking school,
06:14within three days, I was on the ice roads in northern Saskatchewan, and it was trial by fire.
06:21This is my 32nd winter on the ice roads.
06:24At this point now, we have 12 trucks.
06:27My company would take jobs that other people wouldn't touch with a tensile pole.
06:30I've held some of the biggest recorded loads across the ice.
06:38The Wollaston run is very dangerous because the water is always moving there.
06:42That's generally where the thinnest ice is.
06:53We're hoping today when we punch through, we have over 20 inches.
06:56Optimum is 33 to 38 inches to haul what we haul on here.
07:00First and foremost, you're looking for thickness to see how much ice there is.
07:11You want to look for the quality of the ice.
07:15You want it to kind of have a nice, clear look to it.
07:18This doesn't look like it's rotten or anything at the top.
07:22From the bottom of the ice, right there.
07:27Right there.
07:29The 18, give or take.
07:32We're in trouble.
07:33We may not get in here this winter.
07:36It's always a stress, business-wise.
07:39I think the biggest stress is just the communities.
07:41And they can't get their stuff in there.
07:43They suffer.
07:44They're out of fuel right now.
07:45They're flying fueling because they can't get across here when normally we'd be hauling across here weeks ago.
07:50We're running out of time.
07:58Back at Musky Creek, another ice road veteran is joining the team.
08:05Hey, that's me, Bill.
08:06Lisa, finally nice to meet you.
08:08You guys are like top dogs in town.
08:10You got like the most trucks, the most loads.
08:12We're at 32 trucks, pounding about 500 loads per year.
08:18For like the last decade, I've been still trucking on the ice roads, but I bought my own truck and I started my own business.
08:25Whoa!
08:27Well, that was interesting.
08:30Freezing wind, endless miles, and jobs that no one else will take.
08:34Well, I can't.
08:35I mean, oh, I'm in a jackknife.
08:38Oh, my gosh.
08:40I got a farm in Wasilla in Alaska with two acres and 11 horses on it.
08:47Can you move any?
08:49Yay, good girl!
08:51Currently, my truck is sitting broken in the shop in Fairbanks, and it's not running.
08:56I need, like, a lot of money really fast to get it going.
08:59And these are the hardest ice roads, so I'm going to make more on them, and that's why I'm here.
09:04The worst case scenario is if I don't make the money to fix the truck, I'm going to have to start selling horses.
09:09Garden Hill is where you're going to.
09:14There's going to be lots of hills to climb.
09:16Okay.
09:17Most important question, what am I driving?
09:21Dang!
09:23No can work.
09:25Nice.
09:25All that?
09:28Yeah.
09:30Lisa's also running the 800-mile gauntlet to the remote community of Garden Hill.
09:36I just can't afford to not have the wheels turning.
09:39Plunging deeper into the frozen wilderness.
09:49We've got a lot of miles to go today.
09:51Don Dewey is battling his first winter road in almost a decade.
09:56The road is in rough, rough shape.
09:57There's a lot of pieces on here, heavy items.
10:06If they fall off, there's no way I'm going to manually and physically put it back on my lungs.
10:13Getting a lot worse now, buddy.
10:14Feel that right there?
10:20Yeah.
10:21Yeah.
10:22That's getting rough.
10:32And I have definitely got something going on with my load in the back.
10:37Drill bits sticking out.
10:38About a foot on the passenger side.
10:40This is not good.
10:41Okay.
10:42Okay.
10:44See, you're cold.
10:51Well, this is screwed.
10:54This wood beam has slid out of here almost a foot.
11:00This far.
11:01Half the problem is, is it's so cold, and the deck is so slick, and these pieces of wood are just sliding right on the deck.
11:07If it pushes too hard and slides with too much momentum and breath bust these straps, that whole thing's just going to slide right off the sides, and this whole pallet of these drill bits are on the middle of the ice road.
11:18That's not good.
11:19Well, I got an idea in my head.
11:23I don't know if it'll work, but it sure is worth a try.
11:26Okay.
11:27Okay.
11:28Okay.
11:29Okay.
11:30Okay.
11:31Okay.
11:32oh you gotta love the ice roads right okay now we can link these two together
11:41just double lock pull the flank out
11:55double like that those are balanced in theory as i'm backing the truck up that
12:01chain's going to come tight and it's going to pull out loads on the trailer that's what i'm hoping
12:05will happen okay this is it but we're going to give her hell give her a strike i hope this works
12:20in the frigid northern frontier
12:24at musky creek headquarters
12:26gentlemen looking for bill you must be scott yes sir it's scooter yule's first haul at a new company
12:36back home he's an ice road veteran but in these parts he's a rookie looking forward to working
12:42with you this year are you sure about that is there something that you got to tell me that i don't know
12:45i live in yellow knife northwest territories i own a couple trucks i've been in business now five
12:55years trucking was a natural calling for me for me being out on the road on a job it's a sense of
13:01accomplishment especially when you deliver to northern communities
13:05and i also own harley's hard rock saloon it's a bar and yellow knife this is my bar you know it's
13:14community waterhole a lot of the ice runner drivers they will come to our bar they love it
13:20they have a great time my wife kelly and my daughter morgan both work at my bar and i have
13:27two daughters in nova scotia bianca and zoe and i'm praying for the best of them all the time
13:33i really need this season to go well in order to provide the cash to do the upgrades up there at
13:37the bar you are clean and clear to go to red sucker lake you've been to red sucker lake no sir i haven't
13:44been in any of these ice roots so this is all new territory for me that's what kind of truck you're
13:48going to give me too she hauls ass yeah this international is uh is a very special truck to musky
13:58creek okay the driver that was assigned this truck e-service musky creek for a very long time two years
14:06ago uh erwin friesen we we lost him erwin friesen was a big part of musky creek he is one of the biggest
14:16reasons why musky creek is where we're at today he passed away two years ago when he was on duty doing
14:24a load sounds like some pretty big shoes to fill well i hope to make you proud and i'd be honored
14:29a driver and looking forward to working with you he's built a little bit of confidence in me
14:35but talk is cheap scooter's first foray on these ice roads is an 800-mile adventure to the northern
14:42community of red sucker lake well now we're gonna check this load out see what we're working with
14:49making sure that nothing is kind of come off the key thing is keeping your deck clean imagine that
14:55flying that through your windshield that'll kill somebody and this here has to go each driver is
15:01responsible for securing their load confirming it's safe and legal 14-6 from both the ruined bill's day
15:10anything over 12 feet needs a pilot truck we can't haul this load he's not gonna like this and none are
15:17available anytime soon we got the problem what's the issue 14-6 is the issue 14-6 that's the width
15:2814-6 is how wide we are yes sir are you sure is that from the tracks or the blade
15:35it doesn't look 14-6 14-6 i really wish you didn't to my car flakes this morning
15:48you're gonna learn to hate me or love me
15:54400 miles to the northwest
15:56looking for the crews that are flooding to try and thicken the ice sean harris is meeting the ice
16:06road maintenance crew to build the road the crew spends weeks plowing snow and checking the ice
16:13thickness where the ice is thin they use lake water to thicken it the fate of sean's business depends on
16:22their progress the ice doesn't get any thicker the community they're not going to be able to get
16:29supplies like that in this road is very vital it's the only lifeline in the winter time for this community
16:37how many holes you guys are going to drill two for now so what they're doing here is they've got
16:43thin spots where it's only 17 inches so they drill holes and now we're going to fire up the generator we're
16:49going to start flooding this section of ice that's thin here right yeah let's rock and roll
16:56there we go
17:00you can see what the boys are doing putting water on existing ice and they'll keep doing that
17:04and doing that they'll build levels and that's how we grow the ice how long will you guys let this
17:10run here until she reaches the engine and that's all you'll do today or are you drill another couple
17:16holes and pump some more tomorrow tomorrow we are late in the season if you went across here loaded
17:23you would absolutely go in the drink it's just not thick enough these guys are working overtime
17:28trying to get a road open so their community can get the supplies in that they need
17:33halfway through his first run and not getting any closer it's about to get real veteran driver todd
17:48dewey is gambling on an old trucker trick to slide tons of steel screw piles back on his trailer
17:55come on you son of a bitch the road pounded a pallet of foundation screws over the edge
18:01that's getting rough now the fastest fix is ice road ingenuity okay here we go boy
18:21yeah looks like it moved
18:29yeah it's slid right here you can see this block see how far that block is sticking out
18:35this block was sticking pretty out here so this whole thing has now slid right back into position
18:39now i'm going to re-rig it and i'm going to try to do the same thing to the front and get it pulled
18:43over there he was i'd like being in the bush and figure out that's why i love being on the ice road
18:51all right re-rigging
18:53okay round two
19:06oh hell yeah we are back on the trailer that's what the ice roads are all about baby figure
19:34out and just get it done get my load strapped and hit back on the road
19:41I'm ready to roll mission accomplished baby my load is nice and straight back there
19:54ready to put some miles on here and get this load into garden hill
19:58just another beautiful day on the ice roads
20:04I am hitting the ground running deep in the frigid wilderness
20:18no hesitations no practice run that first road knock it out
20:23Lisa Kelly is one of the first drivers facing a freshly frozen river crossing
20:28Nelson River East Channel
20:32I'm not sure where the river begins here
20:39there's so much snow on the ice I can't tell what condition the ice is in right now
20:48if it's clear ice it's a better quality of ice and holds more weight if it's like white ice
20:56there's more air in it so it's more likely to crack
21:00first one of a while so a little nervous on it you know
21:06we'll see we'll see how this goes
21:10all right let's do this
21:13on a frozen northern river
21:34wow that does not look good
21:36a deceptive expanse of untested ice separates Lisa Kelly from her offload
21:43the best strategy I have for a lake crossing is listening for the cracking
21:48I'm gonna go with slower
21:54I'd rather be safe than sorry
21:56the ice is supposed to make the cracking sounds
22:00but how much is too much cracking right because it's got a crack to fall through
22:04so there's got to be a certain limit on cracking sounds
22:06thin ice sign
22:10do you see that
22:12a blanket of fresh snow covers the road and thin ice surrounding her
22:18obscuring the border between safety and certain death
22:22danger open water
22:25good gosh
22:26it's like that whole section is like
22:28open water
22:30what makes this any thicker here
22:34don't go fast
22:44I'm almost there
22:45don't go fast
22:46don't go fast
22:48first ice crossing of the year
22:53out of the way
22:55here we come for more
22:56back at musky creek
23:11it's 14-6 wide
23:13what the
23:14scooter's stuck in the truck yard
23:16until his wide load is legal
23:19if we take the blades off
23:20we're no trouble
23:22beautiful
23:23that's why you're the pro
23:25you're talking about a wide guy with a wide load
23:28I know my wings
23:28so then where are your flags
23:29I'm wearing my ears
23:31get the wings off boys
23:34on the road problems start to arise
23:38man there's only so much I can do from the office
23:41it's up to the driver
23:43they have to be the solution to the problem
23:46and we're golden
23:48where's my sage
23:55I always keep a smudge kit with me
23:58with tobacco
23:59sweet grass
24:00I'm new to smudging
24:04I've been doing it for the last few years now
24:06I've been digging into my history
24:08and I'm pretty proud of it
24:09I'm Mick Mack
24:11Mick Ma actually is pronounced from the east coast
24:14there's a reason why they were called the first nations
24:17they were the first ones
24:18and they know how to survive off the land
24:21and I like learning from it
24:23for me
24:23it keeps me grounded
24:25it keeps me centered
24:26it keeps me going
24:26it gives me hope
24:28kind of hard doing a truck
24:31we're going to pray
24:34the rest of our trips are blessed
24:36spirit of urban
24:40better keep on my good side
24:42scooter
24:43we gotta get going
24:44let's get out of here
24:45pull out
24:46we're rolling out
24:51copy
24:52where's love
25:05finally
25:07we're feeling much alive
25:09we're feeling much better
25:10feeling happy now
25:13heading into Garden Hill
25:25in the remote island lake region
25:27Garden Hill
25:28finally made it
25:30Todd's racing to offload
25:3245,000 pounds of steel
25:34so he can cross the lake
25:35and pick up another load
25:37by the end of the day
25:38I'm going to get this thing unloaded
25:40right back out on the ice roads
25:42I got to turn and burn
25:46I got another load
25:46I got to get picked up
25:47delivered right away
25:48let's get this load off of here
25:52I don't know how this is going to work
25:55we're about to find out
25:56the problem with unloading this
25:58is the forklift is not big enough
26:00to move these pallets
26:00off the back of this trailer
26:01we're going to grab this whole pallet
26:04see if we just slide a whole pallet
26:05at one time
26:05right onto the ground
26:06I guess we'll try that
26:09see what happens
26:13go fast
26:17in the remote northern community
26:33of Garden Hill
26:34veteran driver Todd Dewey
26:41is racing to turn and burn
26:42so he can pick up his next load
26:45it's a little messy
26:46but it works
26:46can't damage these things
26:49due to the fact
26:49they're just solid steel
26:50we thought this is the only way
26:51we're going to be able
26:52to get it unloaded
26:52with the machines that we had
26:54let's get the hell out of here
27:07I got another ice road to do
27:08came up with a good solution
27:12for the bush didn't we
27:13nicely done
27:14450 miles to the west
27:22John Harris is strategizing
27:30with his business partners
27:32sons Riley
27:33and Zach
27:34my boys
27:35they've both been driving
27:36since they were 5 years old
27:37and at 15
27:38probably knew more than guys
27:39who've been doing it 20 years
27:40they need a plan
27:42to salvage the season
27:43if the Wollaston Lake Crossing
27:45doesn't open
27:46wish I could sit in Mexico
27:48as much as you do
27:49Riley is a mini me
27:51and that's not
27:52generally a good thing
27:53one day when you have
27:5532 years under your
27:56f***ing belt
27:57then you can go to Mexico too
27:58I had that under my belt
28:00before I was 20
28:01oh this f***ing guy
28:03he is hot tempered
28:06but he's a hard worker
28:07and he'll do whatever
28:08he has to do
28:09to get the job done
28:10you gotta have a couple
28:12handsome capable sons
28:13for you can do that
28:14Zach is the exact opposite
28:17to myself
28:19and his younger brother Riley
28:20Zach is probably
28:22one of the most
28:22relaxed
28:23easy going guys
28:24you'll ever meet
28:25we had lots of snow
28:26up north
28:27so
28:27Chris
28:29piss off
28:31Chris be my third son
28:33as a pot belly pig
28:34when we got him
28:36he was no bigger
28:37than a loaf of bread
28:38keep going
28:40now he's about
28:41250 pounds
28:42and he used to ride
28:43in the semi
28:44with me all the time
28:45he absolutely loved it
28:46he'd put his little feet
28:47up on the dash
28:47and look out the window
28:48like I don't have
28:49enough problems
28:50in my life
28:50Walston is
28:53absolutely closed
28:54right now
28:54and I'm
28:55getting extremely nervous
28:58the season is going
28:59to be a short one
29:00we've had an ungodly
29:02amount of snow
29:03this year
29:03when you get a lot
29:05of snow early
29:06it insulates
29:06the water
29:07so then those
29:08cold temperatures
29:09can't absorb
29:10to freeze
29:11as fast
29:12and as hard
29:13as we need it
29:13so I think right now
29:14we're going to do
29:15some things
29:15that we don't
29:16normally do
29:16this time of year
29:17yep
29:17we'll do
29:18what we gotta do
29:19we're going to have
29:20a tough winter
29:21approaching Island Lake
29:28outside Garden Hill
29:29ice crossing
29:31just opened up
29:32it's only open
29:32for light
29:33light traffic
29:34which means
29:35it's not open
29:35for full wage yet
29:36veteran driver
29:37Todd Dewey
29:38is facing
29:39a 13 mile
29:40lake crossing
29:41on ice
29:42barely thick enough
29:43to hold
29:43his empty truck
29:44that's kind of
29:47spooky
29:47if you think
29:47about it
29:49very nice
30:05we ain't see
30:06anything can happen
30:07here we go
30:13he's on a deadline
30:15to pick up
30:16a backhaul
30:16today
30:17that's going
30:18to Musky Creek
30:19and the fastest
30:21way to St. Teresa
30:22Point
30:22is across
30:24the lake
30:25the ice
30:26is not as thick
30:27as it's supposed
30:27to be
30:28if you have a will
30:29in place
30:29set up for your family
30:30because most likely
30:31you ain't making
30:31her home
30:32that's what could
30:32go wrong
30:32it's life
30:34and death
30:34up here
30:35a little concerned
30:44right now
30:45I'm not hearing
30:46a lot of noise
30:47out of the ice
30:48the crack of the ice
30:53is always spooky
30:54but that's part
30:54of the ice crossing
30:55you want to hear
30:56cracking
30:56that actually means
30:57that the ice
30:58is really really
30:58strong
30:59when you can't
31:01hear any noise
31:02at all
31:02that's not a good
31:03sign
31:03I don't like that
31:07I don't like that
31:07one single bit
31:08not at all
31:09cracking sounds
31:13indicate the ice
31:14is flexing
31:14to relieve stress
31:15from the truck's
31:16weight
31:16if the ice
31:19is too thin
31:20or too weak
31:20to flex
31:21under the stress
31:22it could shatter
31:24releasing Todd
31:26and his truck
31:26into the clutches
31:28of the deadly
31:29frigid deaths
31:30and
31:37off the ice
31:41hell yeah
31:43let's go get
31:46my next load
31:47and turn to burn
31:47on the other
32:00side of the lake
32:01I'm headed to
32:04garden hill
32:04with some building
32:06supplies for the
32:07communities
32:07the hills are very
32:10abrupt
32:11because it's not a
32:12road
32:12there's no like
32:13grades
32:13like they didn't
32:14build it
32:15to be driven
32:16so when you
32:17come upon a hill
32:19it's not smooth
32:20and it's really
32:20abrupt and sharp
32:21the musky creek
32:23truck is getting
32:24a beat down
32:25as Lisa faces
32:26a final series
32:27of hills
32:28standing between
32:29her and the
32:30offload
32:30a little rowdy
32:31at the moment
32:32it's supposed
32:32to get worse
32:33what was that
32:38what was that
32:38what was that
32:40what was that
32:43what was that

32:53right here
32:54oh dear lord
33:08the road to
33:32garden hill
33:33a little rowdy
33:35at the moment
33:36battered Lisa
33:38in her truck
33:38and knocked
33:41out the hose
33:41that moves

33:43to the engine
33:44without the turbo
33:46she doesn't have
33:47the torque

33:49load over the hills
33:51thank goodness
33:52the hose clamp

33:58you might not
34:00be able to get it
34:00on

34:03the truck off
34:04is kind of
34:05a bush no-no
34:06because it might
34:06not start again
