In the remote town of Tanana, Alaska, the arrival of spring signifies not only a change in season, but also a time for the community to come together for their annual "Rite of Spring" celebration. This includes traditional dancing and feasting on freshly caught fish and game.

However, for the residents of Tanana, spring also brings its own unique set of challenges. As the snow melts and temperatures rise, the town is faced with flooding rivers and treacherous ice crossings. In this episode of Yukon Men, season 3 episode 5, titled "Rite of Spring," the townspeople must navigate these dangers while also preparing for the long months ahead.

For Joey Zuray and his son, it's time to go on a moose hunt. The meat will provide food for their family throughout the year, but the hunt is both dangerous and physically demanding. As they trek through the wilderness, they must be on high alert for bear encounters and avalanches. Meanwhile, fellow townspeople Charlie and Bob are also on a hunt, but their prey is beaver for its much needed pelt.

Elsewhere in Tanana, the threat of flooding looms large. Stan Zuray, a veteran of the town, knows firsthand the dangers of fast-rising waters. He and his family work hard to fortify their house and protect their belongings. They stockpile sandbags and work on securing loose items that could be swept away in the flood.

As the day of the "Rite of Spring" celebration approaches, the town's residents come together to prepare for the event. Everyone has a role to play, from preparing food and making traditional clothing to rehearsing dance routines and setting up the venue.

The celebration itself is a joyous occasion, with lively music and dancing. The townspeople feast on freshly caught fish and game, and enjoy the company of their neighbors. The day is a welcome reprieve from the hard work and harsh conditions of life in Tanana.

But even as they celebrate, the residents of Tanana know that they must remain vigilant. Spring may be a time of new beginnings and renewed hope, but it also brings its own unique challenges. They know that the long months ahead will be filled with hard work and potential danger.
