The Kilcher family is back for another season as they battle the elements in their isolated community outside Homer, Alaska.
The Kilchers, led by patriarch Atz Kilcher, have cultivated and lived on their homestead for four generations. These men and women of the wild truly live off the land.
They spend the limited months of summer and autumn gardening, hunting and fishing for food, gathering supplies from the land and preparing their animals' safety in preparation for surviving the harsh Alaskan winters. Most live completely off the grid with no running water and no electricity and are proud of it.
This season, the Kilcher way of life is at risk like never before, as the weather becomes more extreme and erratic. The family struggles to heal the homestead and themselves.
And after a decade away making music and starting her own family, the prodigal daughter returns.
In the Season 7 premiere, entitled "The Day The Homestead Almost Died": with the family legacy at risk, the Kilchers start a homestead revamp. Blindsided by a huge snowstorm, they have a lot of work to do.
