The Adventures of the Wilderness Family

Again.

Okay.

That's fine for now.

We might take some more blood.

More blood?

No, no. Dad?

I thought you said, we can't

be doing that any more.

Well, I can only agree

with the other doctor's.

We need more allergy tests, and

just continue with the innoculations.

But, we've been through all of that.

What about all the medications,

she's been taking for the last year?

Well, those were to

control the condition.

Control?

She's getting worse, doc.

What do you think causes it?

If I knew that, we'd have the cure.

Could be anything.

Something in the air, the water,

maybe even the stress of living here.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry.

What is it?

I just don't like

the way our life is going.

I'm always unloading on

you and the kids.

I'm worried about Jenny.

I hate my job and I just

hate this stinking city.

Was I lacking?

I don't know whether it's us

or the way that we're living ...

but, it's just not working any more.

Well, what do you

want to do about it?

I want to get out of here.

I want to go do the things we talked

about, when we were younger.

And what are we staying here for?

Look at this place.

I don't know, Skip.

It's a big move.

Well, what about the kids?

What about Jenny?

Getting Jenny out of here,

would be the best thing.

What do ya think?

Guess we can try.

Are you sure?

I'm sure we can't stay

like this much longer.

I mean we really clear out of here.

We can sell everything.

We'll buy some land.

We'll build our own house.

We'll raise our own food.

We'll grow our food!

-Oh God.

We'll live off the land.

I'm serious!

Let's ... We're going to do it!

Right ?!

-Ok.

Let's do it! Come on!

We're getting out of here !!

You folks sure you know

what you're getting into up here?

Yep.

It sure is a wild life.

I'd think twice, before

I brought my family up.

We thought alot more

than twice about it.

You know how many people

come up here to live and quit?

Alot, I imagine.

About 99 per cent.

Look Dad! Look down there.

You see them?

Yep. Mountain sheep up in the

high country for the summer.

Oh, it's going to

be just beautiful.

Oh, look.

We're gonna catch a moose.

My dad can milk it.

You can do that can't ya?

I heard, Gus, an old

mountain man done it.

There's alot of open

space out there.

You think we'll be okay, mom?

I sure hope so.

How much further is it?

Just over the ridge.

Can we get out?

Come on.

We're going in the water?

In the water.

[giggling]

Well, what do think?

Wow, it's beautiful.

Ohh!

Dad, look at this boat.

Which way is Macy's?

25 miles west of here.

Three families living

in a Ranger Station.

Do they have a boat there?

The only way out of here,

is in my airplane.

What about the river?

I wouldn't want to try it.

You got the radio?

-Right here.

Well, if you're ever ready to quit,

you can always reach me with it.

Thanks, I'll remember that.

What about the

Rocky Mountain Report?

Oh, every evening or during the night,

you can catch all the local scandal.

What's the Rocky Mountain Report?

It's a radio station, that's how

people communicate up here.

Well, this is your last chance.

We're staying.

Good luck.

Thanks alot.

Hey, come around and see us,

when you're in the neighborhood.

I'll do that.

Goodbye, young lady.

Bye.

Goodbye, Toby!

Thanks again.

We're on our own.

I sure hope we can make it.

It's better than I ever

dreamed it would be.

Ohh.

Let's get to the cabin.

Is that it?

That's it.

Hey, this ain't no bigger

than our kitchen back home.

This is just temporary, we'll build

a much bigger place out here.

We could probably fix it up

really nice, right Dad?

Oh!

Hey, a raccoon.

Oh!

No, Crust. No.

Where did it go?

He went up the chimney.

It did!

It's coming out the chimney.

I wonder if it lives up there?

-Oh, he's so cute.

Do you think he'll bite?

-I don't think so.

It's really gentle.

Dad?

Go, git in the cabin!

Quick!

The door's broken!

Get up on the roof!

Hurry! Come on!

What are you doing?

Oh, my god!

Git up, git up.

Climb, climb higher!

Where are the guns, dad?

Over there, with the supplies.

Well, aren't you

going to go get them.

Not now.

[ thunder rumbling ]

Oh no!

That's alright.

It's just a light shower.

Everything's going to be alright.

Don't worry.

You hear me?

Skip.

Skip, did you see it?

-Good mornin'

Did you see that little bird?

It was so cute.

It came on the stove

and it bit my finger.

What did it say?

No, I'm serious.

It was so cute.

Look, I'm serious too.

I want you to make this into a double

sleeping bag by tomorrow, ok?

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

Better cool off ... "Mister."

Ahh!

Take the water!

Jenny, get the water!!

AHH!!

Dad?

Dad?

Daddy?

What, Toby?

Is it time to go?

I'll tell you when it's time.

What time is it?

-It's early.

I left you lunches

on the shelf board.

Thanks, now

go back to sleep.

Toby, wake up.

What the heck is this?

Toby, where this come from?

He crawled into bed with me.

What is it?

It's a raccoon.

I've never seen

wild animals act like this.

Are you okay, Toby?

Yeah, I'm alright.

He slept with

an animal last night.

Get your things

and get ready.

You got him! You got him!

Come on, Toby! Come on!

Go get him Crust.

Come on! Go get him!

Crust, come on.

Go get him!

No!

Now what are you going to do?

Well, you're just going to have to

go out there and get him, Toby.

Not me, you're the one that

shot him, so you go get him.

Crust!

Come on!

It's not that cold.

You want to do it?

Come on Crust, go in and help him.

Don't be a chicken.

Get out here, Crust!

You alright?

What do you think

made that happen?

I don't know.

Probably the rain last night.

What's that?

Looks like a couple

of bear cubs.

Stay close. Come on.

Stay close to me.

Their mother might be around.

What is it dad?

It's their mother.

Is she dead?

Yeah.

You still got that apple?

Here, hold the dog.

Hold the dog.

Hold him tight.

Really hold him tight.

Stay. Stay!

Hi.

Looks like they like apples.

Come on over here, Toby.

I'll hold the dog here.

- They're really tiny, dad.

Hey!

Stop it.

Not my hat.

[laughing and giggling]

Awesome.

What they doing, dad?

They're hungry.

You look like their mother.

You look like their father.

Hey!

come on.

Come on.

Hey!

Oh, it works, it works.

-Yay!

They're so cute.

Ohh.

Oh, look.

Look at that.

Ugh!

You think they'll always

be this friendly, mom?

Oh, I hope so!

We're going to have to

let them go, when they get bigger.

You know that, don't you?

Aw, dad.

I hope it's a long time.

Shh! Listen...

" I'd like to give them a welcome."

" Skip Robinson and his wife Pat,

have moved into the old...

Jake Aikens place,

up on Bachelor lake."

" I hear that Pat is pretty enough,

to charm a grizzly.

And the kids, Jenny and Toby, are

pitching in like grown folks,

to put up a new cabin."

" So, welcome

to the territory folks."

" Well, that's it for tonight."

" This is Happy Jack Jackson,
