What does it take to build in one of the most remote and rugged areas on the planet? With no roads and no building supply centres, creativity is essential when you're building in Alaska. Hunting and fishing guide Bob May is planning a new cabin on a remote island in southern Alaska. Before Bob begins construction, he needs to tear down an old, abandoned cabin. Tying a tow rope to a boat in an attempt to pull it down is certainly creative, but is it wise? Not many builders are forced to work with inferior lumber, cope with changing weather conditions and deal with an 11-foot brown bear causing havoc on the site – but this is not just any other build, this is Building Alaska. Don't come if you can't cope with trouble. (official distributor synopsis)
