Port Protection (2015)

Season 8

In the remote wilderness of Alaska, the residents of Port Protection must rely on their ingenuity, resilience, and each other to survive.

Season 8 follows the community through new challenges, from repairing vital infrastructure and securing food supplies to passing on survival skills to the next generation. With nature as both an adversary and a provider, every day in Port Protection is a test of endurance and cooperation.
