The families meet once a year for a two-day, white-water rafting race called the Payette Plunge; the Yourens hope to win the race using their secret weapon.

The Payette Plunge

Arch Rivals

The Don Juan of Idaho

The Korells, the Bullocks, and the Yourens try to settle once and for all which family is the best at outfitting. But rather than challenge each other to real hunting and camping events, they come up with a crazy collection of challenges... including a madcap horse drawn chariot race! And when more clients than expected show up, the Korells have to take drastic measures to keep their guests happy.

Welcome to the Backcountry

For some women it's shoes and for others it's purses, but for Brenda Bullock, pigs are the biggest temptation. Can Brenda control herself at the local pig auction or will husband Travis have to face even more additions to her rapidly expanding collection of tiny squealers? Meanwhile, out in the wilderness, The Korrel brothers are forced to question their decision to team up with the unpredictable Yourens as an outfitting trip with paying clients is in danger of getting out of hand.

Bringing Home the Bacon

The three families are forced to work together when an important trail is blocked by trees and debris. But which set of brothers has the best solution to the problem: the slow but steady Bullocks, the modern-minded Korells or the highly unpredictable Yourens? And back at the Youren Ranch, Kelsey faces her own challenge; taming one of Harry's wild horses.

Wild, Wild Fest

From guiding city-dwellers who would otherwise lose their way to rescuing the families' own lost cattle, these men and women of the backcountry live surprisingly relatable lives, facing everyday family situations like raising kids and finding love in the last remnants of the Wild West.
