With a week under their belts, all three crews have protein and cash on their minds. Yukon veteran rafter Neil takes son Lauro hunting for some protein, but when they have no luck they resort to an old fishnet trick. Meanwhile, rookies Andrew and Josh also attempt to fish for food. Scotty’s crew hunts spruce grouse and makes a bargain for a much-needed tugboat to steer their raft. Andrew and Josh are the first to cash in, selling timber in the village of Tanana. Neil takes a risk by taking the raft through a treacherous stretch of the river known as The Boneyard. All the crews notice winter freeze slowly creeping over the Yukon.
