The Ranchero Returns! Alaska or Bust: The Sequel - Roadkill Episode 13
On this episode of Roadkill, the boys reignite their desire to go Ice Racing in Alaska! If you remember episode 2 of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan hit the road in a '68 Ford Ranchero with a wild goal: to drive 3,600 miles from Los Angeles, California, to Big Lake, Alaska, to go ice racing. Somehow, they instead found themselves in the bottom of the Grand Canyon. You really need to check out Episode 2 to understand the level of fail that has chased these guys. But now, 14 months later, the guys are trying it again. The Ranchero's engine was freshened up and reinstalled just days before the second attempt. The goal: to run the ALCAN Highway on the way to the ice races with the Alaska Sports Car Club outside of Anchorage in Big Lake, Alaska. Will they get it done this time? Watch to find out.
For those interested in tech specs, the '68 Ranchero is powered by a 363ci small-block Ford that's based on a big-bore Dart SHP block; the bore and stroke is 4.125x3.400. It has 9.3:1 compression, Dart 195cc heads, and a hydraulic roller cam with 232/244 duration at 0.050, .565/.580 lift, and a 114-degree LSA. The engine made 471 hp at 6,200 rpm and 451 lb-ft at 4,500. The trans is a Gearstar C4. The car's biggest problem is the 2.80:1 gears in the 8-inch rearend. That's too high for a heavily loaded car with a big cam, but they were used to keep rpm down during the trip to Alaska.

Alaska sled dog race half way through
Participants in the Iditarod, an annual 1,600 kilometre-long sled dog race in a remote area of the US state of Alaska, are almost half way along the route Sixty-six teams on Saturday set out from downtown Anchorage in the east of Alaska, snaking their way across the frozen tundra to the city of Nome in the west.

Surviving Alone in Alaska
Heimo Korth is the last man standing in 19 million acres of Alaskan wilderness. His neighbors are polar bears and caribous. Say good bye to civilization and see how they do it in the arctic circle on the last frontier in America.
In 1980, Jimmy Carter established the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the Alaskan Interior, cutting off 19 million acres of prime boreal wilderness from the mitts of fur trappers, oil tycoons, and would-be lodge owners alike. Only six families of white settlers were grandfathered in and allowed to keep cabins in the refuge—of them, only one still stays there year-round living off the land. His name is Heimo Korth, and he is basically the Omega Man of Americas Final Frontier.

Battle Of The Giant Alaskan Grizzlies, grizzly vs grizzly, alaska
see images and article: http://www.alaskabearsandwolves.com/grizzly-fight-footage/
Two giant male grizzlies, or coastal brown bears, battle for dominance during mating season on the Alaska Peninsula. Fights like this can result in serious or fatal injuries, as the drive to mate is very strong. Female, or sow grizzlies, will chose to copulate with the most dominate males, so the winner's genes prevail- classic evolution at work. Males, or boars can grow to over 1500 pounds, making them the largest land based predators on earth (polar bears are a tiny bit bigger, but they are considered marine mammals).

Auf verwehten Spuren - Durch die Wildnis Alaskas (2/2)
Der zweite Teil ergründet die Geschichte Alaskas. Eine Geschichte, die durch Gier und Verlangen vorangetrieben wurde. Auf Martin Schliesslers Spuren begegnen wir den Glückssuchern von heute. Im 15-Seelen-Ort Wiseman inmitten der Wildnis lebt ein deutsches Auswanderer-Ehepaar aus München. Es bringt das Drehteam zu Goldgräbern und ihren geheimen Claims.
Martin Schliessler filmte 1974 den Bau der Trans-Alaska-Pipeline. Wir folgen 30 Jahre später ihrem Verlauf von den Ölförderplätzen im Norden bis nach Valdez im Süden. Es ist eine Fahrt durch eine von gewaltigen Waldbränden heimgesuchte Landschaft. In der Stadt Homer gibt es ein Treffen mit der Großfamilie Kilcher, die auf schweizerische Wurzeln zurückblickt. Otto Kilcher hat viel Geld mit der Ölkatastrophe der Exxon Valdez verdient, sein Bruder ist ein bekannter Countrysänger. Spezialität: das Jodeln.
