Before the Freeze: December 29, 2011

Meet the Kilcher family, who live on a 600-acre homestead in Alaska. With another brutal winter approaching, and bears having killed two of the family's cattle, they are forced to pin all of their hopes of surviving the winter on one last hunting trip.

Follow the Kilcher family and their isolated community outside Homer, Alaska. The Kilcher family has cultivated and lived on their homestead for four generations. These men and women of the wild live off the land, spending the limited months of summer hunting, gardening, bartering and fishing for food, gathering supplies from the land and ensuring their animals' safety from predators in preparation for surviving the harsh Alaskan winters. Most live completely off the grid, with no running water and no electricity, carrying on Yule Kilcher's traditions -- and are proud of it.
