In Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina, less than five hundred miles from Antarctica and plagued by unpredictable weather, Dave and Cody take a survival scenario to the extreme – by self-inflicting a laceration and setting it on fire.

At a chilly 7000 feet, the wet cloud forests of Panama test Dave and Cody’s partnership. Hypothermia, sheer cliffs, flooded rivers and venemous predators lie in the path to rescue, and there’s only one way to make it down the mountain: together.

In Wyoming’s Rocky Mountains, the freezing cold, deep snow and lack of resources threaten survival, but Cody and Dave’s minimal gear is enough to make it across frozen waterfalls, snow caves, dead elk and survive unlikely snow problem.

Dams block the force of a river with millions of tons of concrete. Produce enough electricity to power cities. Move potable water over hundreds of miles. And irrigate fertile valleys to produce food for nations. They prevent disastrous floods and produce "green" energy, but there is an environmental cost. With the exception of the Great Wall of China, dams are the largest structures ever built. Since the first large-scale dam was built in Egypt more than 5,000 years ago, engineers have devised various types of dams to withstand the forces of a raging river.

From Bolivia's "Death Road," to California's fog shrouded Highway 99 we visit some of the world's most dangerous roads. Whether dodging IED's on the road to Baghdad Airport or ducking avalanches on Colorado's Million Dollar Highway we'll find the danger that waits behind every blind curve. We'll ride down to the Federal Highway Administration's test laboratory to see what's being done to make roads safer in the US, and see how driving in some countries can be a chaotic nightmare. Finally, we'll ride along in extreme four-wheel drive trucks with some adrenaline junkies that drive boulder strewn trails for sport.

Jenn gives the University of Texas Marching band's massive drum, Big Bertha a beating, while Todd and Tamera face a train wreck of dental proportions when they tackle a massive train replica headed to a dental office.

In true Jarrett form, he makes his run with fragile, antique Christmas dolls even weirder when he tries to check into a hotel to protect them from the cold; but can a WWII era amphibious "Duck Boat" that survived the Germans, make it through a run with Chris Kikelhan?

The buyers return to the small town of Pantego, Texas. Ricky and Bubba buy a furniture locker for $250 and go over the top with a find. Jenny spends $500 with a unit that has a small amount of stuff in it but ends up with a big payout. Mary purchases a unit with old boat parts for $500 that she thinks are valuable, but when she gets them appraised by her dad she ends up being wrong (the boat motor, being cast iron instead of aluminum, is only worth 10 cents a pound). Cowboy Matt Belvins arrives to the auction for other things but not to buy lockers.

The auction action takes place in Dallas, where the big crowds get a jolt from the big wallet of Kenny Stowe from east Texas. Bubba flies in solo to the auction. Kenny Stowe and Bubba battle each other out for lockers to see who can by more lockers, who will win this fight. Jenny fires her shot in the battle between the sexes while Mary aims to please and ends up with a real clown.

Jenny battles to a $750 locker that contains much furniture and endures an old clothing-making device. Matt Belvins purchases an $850 unit and finds an antique map of Texas (which he initially dislikes, as it shows the Texas Panhandle separately from the rest of the state) but ends up in the hole on his purchase. Kenny Stowe buys nothing because, as he says, he only buys smart, not stupid.

The buyers visit a storage auction in Plano, Texas where the locker prices go up quite quickly. Ricky arrives solo to the auction and buys a unit for $2,600 containing good quality furniture and a bonus find he wasn't expecting and does well.

Jenny plans to throw off Mary's thoughts and plans that she has, but ends up throwing off herself in the process. Mary and Jenny battle it out for a locker they both want, but Mary ends up winning the bidding war and receiving the locker for $1,800 and finds a fake pregnant belly that's worth more than she thought.
