Dead End Express is a gripping reality TV series that aired on National Geographic in 2015, starring three Alaskan survivalists: Dead End Express, Chris Fries and Brice Barnes. The show is set in the frozen wilderness of Alaska and chronicles the lives of the three protagonists as they run their own remotely located businesses while navigating the perilous terrain and dealing with the unpredictable climatic conditions.
The central theme of the show is the thrill of being able to live and work in one of the most inhospitable terrains in the world, and how the characters adapt to this lifestyle. Each episode follows the survivalists as they face challenges like rescuing stranded travelers, dealing with bears, hauling construction material across frozen rivers with a sled, and even dealing with blizzards that suddenly put them in danger.
Dead End Express, a native of Alaska, runs his own air carrier service that ferries passengers, supplies and groceries to remote gold mining camps and homesteads. His love of flying and his knowledge of the terrain make him an indispensable asset in the region. As he describes it, his job is to play Santa Claus, ensuring that the people in the remote areas continue to have the necessary supplies and amenities to survive.
Chris Fries, the ex-Marine sniper and founder of Bushwhacks Alaska, manages his own hunting and security business in the state. He takes on tough jobs that most others would shy away from, including repelling down from a helicopter onto a remote cliff to retrieve a downed aircraft. Fries
