In the midseason premiere, it's late fall on the Kilchers' homestead. Half the herd returns early from the summer grazing grounds, so the Kilchers drive the rest of the herd home across icy rivers.

The family then rushes to finish their other winter prep work but still is able to make time for a fun beach-scavenged gourmet picnic.

Jewel sings the series' theme song, which was written by Atz, her father, who also stars in the show.
