The beginnings of Morgan Beasley and Margaret Stern’s venture were captured by the History Channel crew. The pair were in the process of settling into their new home throughout the course of the four seasons they were featured in the show. In Season 7, Episode 12, Beasley and Stern’s brand new homestead was caught in a week-long storm, and the adventurers were left to deal with the aftermath.
As a result of the many days of heavy rain and snowfall, most of the pair’s food cache ended up submerged in water. It was one of the only completely insulated areas of their home, set up for growing vegetables and food storage. As Stern got into the cache, much of their supplies were already rotten and unusable. Thankfully, they managed to separate the salvageable plants and dry them off, and then put together a makeshift wooden floor to elevate the saplings and keep them away from moisture. Had they looked into the cache mere hours later, their entire food supply would have been ruined.
“Mountain Men” has a reputation for being great for local businesses in the areas featured in the show. It’s no wonder, then, that some of the show’s stars went on to build upon their five minutes of fame and set up their own enterprises. Today, Beasley and Stern are prosperous small business owners. Their agrotourism company, Apricity Alaska, opens up the couple’s self-built, remote homestead to adventure-hungry tourists who want to see what life off the grid truly looks like.
