Building Alaska (2012)

Most of Alaska is wilderness and so remote that your only option is to live off-road and off-grid, and the weather is as extreme as the landscape. Building in such a place brings its own special issues, and to be a builder here requires a combination of skilled tradie, craftsman and adventure man. Meet the team of builders who have these qualities in ... heh, heh, ...spades.
