Building Alaska

Extreme building is back in Alaska. Three men risk it all to build a remote hunting cabin, an off the grid bear lodge and an island retreat.(S04,E01)

Engine issues stall Tom's build, a welder battles the wind on the boardwalk at Rich's island retreat and Creig brings the heat to his bear lodge.(S04,E02)

Rich's island build is between a rock and a hard place. Tom gets a lesson in logging and Creig feels the sting of remote building and shoddy materials.(S04,E03)

Creig's camp is stunned after a bear attack, high winds wreak havoc and cause delays at Tom's build and Rich goes underwater to save his dock.(S04,E04)

Creig's build struggles with the emotional scars of the bear mauling. Plus, Tom's surprise from the sky shifts the build into a new gear.(S04,E05)

Rich and his team race to stay ahead of the helicopter drops. And, an eight-point earthquake leaves Creig's build on shaky ground.(S04,E06)

Creig's carpenter Jim pays the ultimate price for building alone in remote Alaska. Plus, Rich's crew performs a balancing act to get out of the mud.(S04,E07)

Rich's build is down to two workers, which will make it difficult to reach their target. Plus, Creig's build is fraught with costly miscalculations.(S04,E08)

Remote building often means no machines. But that's no problem as Rich's team uses brute strength to muscle up the 800-pound mainframe beam.(S04,E09)

While two builders battle gale-force winds and rain, it's a whale of a good time at the third site.(S04,E10)

Sparks fly at Tom's camp as a worker showdown threatens the project. Later, a bear attack leaves Jodi on edge at Creig's camp.(S04,E11)

Impending weather is making crunch time at the builds that much more desperate. Rich is forced to make a crucial building decision he doesn't want to make.(S04,E12)
