How do you eat in the Alaskan wilderness? What dangers lurk in the forests? Why do people voluntarily choose such a deprived lifestyle? To answer these questions, a team of filmmakers spent several months up close and personal with the adventurous experiences of American dropout families. But far away from civilization, it's about more than just getting food. It is about respect for nature and the struggle with oneself! This episode of "Northern Alaska - Survival in the Arctic Circle" looks behind the scenes of the wilderness - and shows not only the pitfalls of hunting, but also personal stories that are inextricably linked to it.

From the boat launch of the "American Maid" to the bee attack on the cameraman: This episode of "Northern Alaska - Survival in the Arctic Circle" shows previously unknown scenes as well as gripping backgrounds of the documentary series. The voyage of discovery leads on the Nowitna River many hundreds of kilometers upstream, in the middle of the untouched nature of the "Arctic National Wildlife Refuge". Not only the women of the Lewis clan, but also producers and cameramen have their say. Whether it's veteran Alaskan Bob waiting for a package to arrive by airmail, or head of the family Heimo searching for clues in the undergrowth: filming in the wilderness is always good for a surprise!
