In episode 8 of season 2 of Homestead Rescue: Raney Ranch, entitled "Dead of Winter," the Raneys head to Idaho to help the Brineys, a family struggling to survive on their remote homestead. The Brineys live in a harsh winter climate, and when the Raneys arrive, they find that the family is ill-prepared for the harsh conditions.

Marty, Matt, and Misty first focus on building a new, sturdy shelter for the Brineys to protect from the severe winds and heavy snowfalls.

So, to solve a big issue of food, the Raneys ready a greenhouse and teach the family how to build and maintain a garden through the harsh winter months.

The Raneys also introduce a new approach to the Briney's firewood collection by offering tips on efficiently gathering firewood and showing how to correctly stack and store it for winter use.

In a heartwarming moment, the episode ends with the Brineys sharing their appreciation to the Raneys for their hard work in helping the family in the worst conditions possible.
