In Building Alaska season 3 episode 7, titled "The Missing Helicopter," the builders are faced with a challenge unlike any other. When a key component of their building process, the helicopter used to transport supplies, goes missing, the builders are left scrambling to find a solution. With the harsh Alaskan terrain making it nearly impossible to transport materials by foot, the builders must come up with a new plan to keep their projects on track.
The episode follows three teams of builders as they navigate the challenges of building in remote areas of Alaska. The first team, made up of father and son duo Jeff and Mark, are building a cabin on the shores of a lake. With just a few weeks left until winter sets in, the team is under pressure to finish the build before the weather turns. However, when their helicopter pilot goes missing along with the crucial materials they need, the team is forced to improvise and come up with a new transportation plan.
The second team featured is made up of brothers Mike and Jesse, who are building a retreat in the remote wilderness. The brothers have already faced many challenges in building their cabin, including having to transport much of their materials by hand over rugged terrain. When they hear about the missing helicopter, they know that they too will need to come up with a new plan if they want to stay on schedule.
Finally, the episode also follows the team of Brad and John, who are building a cabin in the middle of a national park. The team has already faced many setbacks, including getting their helicopter stuck in the swampy terrain on the building site. When they hear about the missing helicopter, they know that their building project is in serious jeopardy.
Throughout the episode, viewers follow the teams as they scramble to find alternative ways to transport their materials and stay on track with their builds. From using boats to haul heavy items across the lake, to building temporary bridges to transport materials by foot, the builders are forced to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions.
As the pressure builds and the days grow shorter, the builders face mounting challenges that threaten to derail their projects. However, with determination and ingenuity, they are able to overcome these obstacles and make progress towards completing their builds.
In the end, the missing helicopter serves as a stark reminder of the unforgiving nature of the Alaskan wilderness. However, the builders prove that with perseverance and resourcefulness, anything is possible. Fans of the series will not want to miss this episode, which showcases the grit and determination of the builders who take on the unique challenge of building in Alaska.
