Port Protection Alaska

Overview
In the remote wilderness of Alaska, the residents of Port Protection must rely on their ingenuity, resilience, and each other to survive. Facing harsh weather, scarce resources, and constant danger, they hunt, fish, build, and barter to maintain their unique way of life. 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.
