There’s one thing that brothers Andrew and Kevin love more than building projects at their family cottage and that’s pretending to build while doing nothing at all. Determined to disguise their laziness from their wives, the boys have hatched a secret plan to turn their workshop into the Ultimate Covert Man Cave. Nothing is what it seems in this speakeasy-inspired creation -- behind every tool cabinet, beneath every workbench, are hidden beer fridges, sound systems, and games waiting to be uncovered. The boys are about to learn, however, that doing nothing can be awfully hard work.

No strangers to launching unique floating contraptions, brothers Kevin and Andrew may have finally figured out a way to get their 4-wheel all-terrain vehicle from their cottage property onto the island in the middle of the lake: The ATV-Powered Barge. On this latest amphibious vessel, however, their ATV is not only the cargo but the engine as well. Powering itself over the water, the brothers' ATV is truly all-terrain! With their engineer friend Walker aboard, the boys are hatching a scheme to convert a treadmill, a floating dock and pair of old wagon wheels, along with Andrew's precious new ATV, into a paddlewheel ferry unlike any you've ever seen.

Brothers Andrew and Kevin look to their wives for inspiration this weekend as they embark on creating a picturesque She-Shed at their lakeside family cottage. Their female version of the man cave will come complete with its very own wine bar making it the ideal spot for their hard-working better halves to uncork and unwind. Just as a marriage of wine and wood form the structure of a great vintage, this Ultimate She-Shed strives to be a perfect blend of form and function. But as always, with these two bros in charge, always expect plenty of "whine" and a barrel of laughs.

For brothers Andrew and Kevin, the boathouse at their lakeside family cottage has been "anything but" for as long as they can remember. Instead of a cozy sleeping bunkie where guests wake to the best views of the lake on the property, as originally envisioned by their mom and dad, it's been little more than a neglected storage area. All that is about to change this weekend when the brothers decide to turn their parents' dream into a reality, updating this untidy space into all it was meant to be and more. New walls, ceilings, furniture and decor -- there are going to be plenty of surprise makeovers in store when the boys fashion the Ultimate Boathouse Bed and Breakfast.

This weekend, brothers Kevin and Andrew are putting a unique spin on yet another college mainstay. Upon realizing that their newly-installed driveway might in fact be the flattest, most level piece of ground on their lakeside family cottage property, the brothers seek to take full advantage by serving up the Ultimate Cottage Driveway Tennis Court -- a multi-use area that's not just for cars, but also doubles as a playing surface for a variety of racquet sports including tennis, badminton and squash. A retractable multipurpose net, scoreboard, VIP spectator lounge and elevated umpire chair are just some of the many features the brothers will be looking to ace.

While brothers Kevin and Andrew are used to having their cottage building projects go downhill, it's never been intentional... until now. This weekend, the brothers are in a race to the bottom -- of the hill, that is -- when they go head-to-head in their Ultimate Soapbox Derby Racers. The brothers are putting pedal to the metal -- or more accurately, metal to the pedals -- fashioning speed machines using whatever they can beg, borrow or steal (from each other, naturally). The stakes are high and the hill even higher -- "winning" this race might just mean reaching the finish line in one piece. Get your crash helmets on and buckle up -- this one is bumpy Brojects ride you don't want to miss!

The pressure is on to bring up more gold as the shortened season goes over its midway point. But pushing the dredges too hard leads to massive problems that could threaten the whole operation.

With less than a week remaining in the shortest ice mining season on record, every crew is battling the clock. But just when they think it couldn’t get any harder, a massive Arctic storm descends on Nome.

With the end of the season in sight, one day remains for the miners to prove that the risks they took over the past month were worth the cost.

Les Stroud travels to the Mitre Peninsula, a remote peninsula located on the easternmost tip of Isla Grande in the province of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. This part of Patagonia is known as being particularly unforgiving and inaccessible due to the ever-changing weather, the absence of roads or paths and a combination of cliffs, peat bogs, forest and valleys. For 10 000 years, the indigenous people of Tierra del Fuego lived on the land. After the appearance of white men, the indigenous population was wiped out in a matter of 200 years. Despite efforts to settle in the peninsula that included seal fur factories, gold mining, logging and cattle ranching, no venture has ever endured the harsh environment. Les will be dropped into this inhospitable landscape and left to survive with no food, no shelter, no water, and no safety gear or camera crew.

Les journeys to an active volcano chain found in the Grenadine Islands deep in the heart of the Caribbean Sea. Stranding himself on an uninhabited island called Frigate, Les is left to survive on his own. Discovered by Columbus in 1498, the island has remained untouched by civilization for centuries largely due to the fierce waves that pummel its craggy shores. Scouring the shoreline for edible marine life, Les must work to secure freshwater, build shelter and make fire. While being stranded on a Caribbean island may sound inviting, it is in reality incredibly difficult. Les is forced to eat prickly pear cactus, hunt for bird eggs and even contemplates trapping one of the thousands of turtles that occupy the island. When it comes to survival islands, the island of Frigate offers what all islands do: isolation…of your body, your mind and your spirit. Time away can be a good thing, but this is no vacation.

Les pits his jungle survival skills against the incredibly diverse mountain jungle terrain of Grenada’s largest active mountain, Mt. St. Catherine. Nestled along the invisible line where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Venezuela, this island jungle feels mysterious, shrouded in mist, veiled from the sun by thick blankets of cloud. For this, the high-altitude jungle has earned the name “Cloud Forest”. Boasting its original ecosystem, the jungle is home to mona monkeys, tarantulas, scorpions, armadillo, iguana, parrots and possums –an abundance of food for Les if he can catch it. Les must use his years of jungle survival experience to avoid the many poisonous plants and trees indigenous to the jungle – all while carrying more than 50 pounds of camera gear on his back.
