It takes a ton of guts to make it in Alaska. In this land of bitter cold, extreme landscape, and vast distances, the simplest activities taking out the trash, commuting to work, or catching a fish carry the potential for peril. Join host Geo Beach as he meets the gritty individuals who shoulder the state's riskiest jobs: heli-loggers who fly to inaccessible regions to haul timber, gold miners who blast through rock in brutal temperatures, and railroaders facing avalanches and earthquakes on lines that cross some of the most treacherous terrain in the world. Produced by HISTORY, this 4-DVD set ventures into the far north where truckers brave hundreds of miles of deadly roads to transport oil, and wolves plague family pets even in the city.

Season One includes four discs with four episodes each in an extreme metal DVD box, in case grizzlies try to attack it. The first show, "Gold Mining," which shows three mining teams squeezing gold out of an already tapped landscape, establishes a narrative pattern in which a triad of situations are braided...
