Episode list

Spencer and Eugene hunt for gold with their friend Cowboy. They'll create a hillbilly rickshaw to carry him through the hills. Then they'll have to brave freezing water if they want to suction out gold from the river-bed with their homemade dredger!

The boys must harvest half a pound of ginseng to trade for Eugene's truck down payment. But a poacher is getting in their way. It's a race against time to track him down and find a way to get these roots dried, all before that truck gets sold.

Spencer and Eugene must rig up a post and scaffold system to yank a 1,300 pound tin roof off an old smokehouse to cover Spencer's outdoor forge to keep their knife-making business going all winter.

Spencer and Eugene's friend Ben's stash of meat is savaged by wild critters. They offer to turn the tainted meat into biodiesel, so Ben can barter it for fresh farm meat. If the homemade fuel isn't perfect, it'll ruin the farmer's tractor!

The boys are on an urgent mission to remove tree stumps for their widowed neighbor. When their homemade motorcycle stump grinder fails, they have to resort to plan B: blowing up the stumps with explosives made from bat droppings.

Spencer and Eugene's knife-making business is jeopardized when a stranger to the holler brings a cheaper blade into the local market. They're forced into a competition to see who can make the best knife.

Eugene's electric water heater keeps breaking, so he and Spencer design a replacement that runs on manure, a.k.a. cow pies. But even if local ranchers are willing to share this rich fuel source, the boys' homemade heater must burn clean enough, or his house will smell like a cowpie.

If the local hunt club likes a tree stand Eugene and Spencer build, they'll be allowed to hunt on their private land. With hunting season a day away, can the boys use their hand-milled lumber, waterproofing from homemade birch oil, and abandoned pigsty roofing to build the stand in time?

When Spencer hears that the fire chief wants to equip his squad with Cold Mountain-made tools, he and Eugene salvage a steel saw blade from the big scrapyard, and get to work forging a bushwhacking brush clearing machete from it, to win the contract.

Eugene and Spencer make a secret bug-out shelter using an abandoned dynamite cabinet. Can they trust someone to help them bury this structure, and rig it up with a system to provide fresh water? Will attaching this apparatus to the bunker as it's being buried prove to be too dangerous?

Eugene and Spencer make Hillbilly Vodka for Eugene's mom from potatoes a farmer gives them. They use Spencer's truck like a giant blender to smash the potatoes for mash, and build an insulated hay house to store the extras. The boys trek to Grandpa's mountain cave to make their brew.

When a dying hemlock tree threatens to topple over onto Spencer's forge, Eugene makes a plan for bringing the giant tree down safely, and then for using the 500-pound logs to build a valuable drying shed that will help Spencer grow his herb business.

Cowboy can't get around like he used to, so when the spring ramps sprout, he asks Spencer and Eugene to build him an all-terrain four-wheeler that will take him to his favorite ramp patches no matter how steep the spot they grow, up on Cold Mountain.

Word gets to Spencer that the fire chief wants to equip his squad with tools made on Cold Mountain, so he and Eugene get to work trying to win the contract by forging a bushwhacking, brush-clearing machete from a steel saw blade they salvaged from a big scrapyard.

Spencer and Eugene make a hillbilly houseboat by mounting an old camper onto barrels and attaching a lawnmower-powered paddle wheel to the contraption, which they take to the lake for a test run.

Eugene and Spencer build an air conditioner, for Mama Gene's car, from an old fan and wet rags. But when they use deadly materials to build a house-sized chiller, will it all blow up in their faces?

Mama Gene steps in a gopher hole and breaks her foot, leaving her homebound on the porch. She's plagued by insects, and missing out on the 4th of July festivities. So the boys build her a flame roasting bug zapper, and a hillbilly ninja rocket wheel.
