Building off the grid is challenging enough, but doing so in some of the most unforgiving terrain on Earth becomes a monumental test. This series follows the intrepid journeys of men and women who gladly face Alaska's extreme conditions and harsh elements to construct one-of-a-kind lodges among the stunning landscape. Undeterred crews work up to 16 hours a day to complete dream cabins before the arrival of winter, while overcoming total isolation, inclement weather, rough seas, and the occasional visit by grizzly bears.
