Season 3

For over three decades, Mick Dodge has lived wild and free in the Hoh Rainforest, and he's got the battle scars to prove it. But with aches and pains beginning to slow him down, Mick will need to do something to get him back in fighting form. He has long admired ancient Native American culture and now he seeks the help from a Makah medicine woman to get a special healing balm few know how to make.

In the Hoh Rainforest, a full moon is on the rise - and this one won't be like most. Nicknamed the super moon, its orbit will bring it closer to Earth than usual...presenting a slew of opportunities for Mick Dodge. Traveling through the night, Mick aims to reach a secret cove by sunrise, where extreme high tides brought on by the super moon could deliver a seafood harvest.

With Mick's oldest friend's 65th birthday just a week away, Mick rallies the troops in hopes of bringing Karl's vision of 100 ft. log ladder to life. This "Staircase to the Sky"will give him an unobstructed view of Mt. Olympus right out his front door

July 4th invites the kind of reckless behavior that threatens Mick's home, forcing him to stand guard, keep watch and protect the Hoh Rainforest. As Mick begins his 24-hour vigilance, he runs into a group of campers trashing the forest. Not one to look the other way, Mick prepares for a confrontation... But this encounter is just the beginning. When the sun sets, darkness brings a new danger, as the dry forest comes under fire from all angles.

Mick Dodge is wrapping up a morning visit with his old friend Doc Gair and it's time for Doc to hit the road. Unfortunately Doc's trusty truck, which serves as both his home and office, won't seem to start. Luckily, Mick's the perfect person to help

In the Hoh Rainforest, Mick is part of an underground community of pioneers, and when a friend is in need of help, Mick's ready to answer the call. So when the girlfriend of Mick's long-time student, Will of Stone, tracks him down seeking help in finding Will for a serious problem, Mick doesn't hesitate to lend a hand. Will of Stone has been on a rite of passage in the forest for 2 weeks already, so this manhunt will prove no easy feat.

In the Hoh Rainforest, berry season is beginning...and that means one thing for Mick Dodge - an opportunity to brew up Dodge Family Forest Wine. Based on a secret recipe created by Mick's great grandfather, it's a special concoction his family has produced for generations. As soon as Mick sees the very first berries on the vine, he springs into action, gathering ingredients spread all over the forest.

Since Mick Dodge left the modern world behind, he's stashed his belongings all over the Washington wilderness. Now, Mick is relocating hidden stashes to a central forest base camp in preparation for winter. However, things don't go according to plan when Mick discovers some of his stashes have gone missing. Confident it's no coincidence, Mick will stop at nothing to find the culprit responsible.

Every year, Mick marks the changing season with a gathering known as the Autumn Harvest. Bringing his fellow forest dwellers together for a feast, Mick takes this opportunity to celebrate brotherhood and the abundance the forest provides. But first, Mick and his friends must utilize their primal skills and resources, in hopes of hunting and gathering enough food from the Hoh for this season's main event.

Over the course of his decades spent in the wild, Mick Dodge has discovered unusual remedies in the least likely of places- the kind of tricks that can heal him and alleviate pain in times of need. But when none of his natural methods are able to diminish the crippling pain of a toothache for long, Mick decides it's time for drastic measures and seeks help from a source he hasn't tapped into in decades.

Following in the tradition of early tribal games and the Greek Olympiad, Mick and his friends of the forest compete in their annual Olympic Mountain Games. With each member carefully selected for their specialized skills, the teams undertake three separate challenges that will push them to their limits, testing their strength, agility and teamwork. Going head-to-head, one team will fight their way to the top and reign as this year's champion.

Mick Dodge has called the Hoh rainforest home for the last three decades, and he rarely ventures far from the wild. But he plans to leave it all behind to attend the wedding of girl he's long considered to be like a daughter. Mick has very few relatives left, so when he heard Shay was getting married, he knew he couldn't miss it for the world. But attending the wedding means a nearly 1,000 mile journey to Northern California.
