Ep 6. Cast Away

In the sixth episode of Building Alaska's first season, titled Cast Away, the three teams continue to battle harsh weather conditions and time constraints in their quest to build rugged homes deep in the Alaskan wilderness.

Team Chuck, comprised of father and son duo Chuck and Chase, along with their friend JT, are determined to finish their cabin before the impending winter storm hits. With only a few days left, the team must work efficiently to install the roof and windows, as well as build a deck and outdoor shower. However, they encounter unexpected setbacks when they discover their material delivery was short on supplies.

Meanwhile, Team Lee struggles to keep their momentum going as they face complications while constructing their two-story, 600 square foot home. The high winds cause chaos as they try to install their roof and trusses. Additionally, one team member suffers an injury, further delaying their progress.

Lastly, Team Bob faces a major setback when their only mode of transportation, their boat, is destroyed by a rogue wave. Bob and his team are stranded on their isolated island, with limited supplies and no way to leave. They must work together and stay positive as they figure out how to rebuild their boat and get back to the main land to continue their building project.

As the teams face unexpected challenges and race against time, the episode highlights their resourcefulness, teamwork, and sheer determination to see their building projects through to completion. The unforgiving Alaskan wilderness tests their limits in the most extreme way, making every small victory along the way even more satisfying.
