Season 3 episodes (12)

1 Legend of Lost Creek Gold
1/25/14
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!
2 Green Gold
1/25/14
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.
3 Raise the Roof
2/1/14
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.
4 Pigskin Payout
2/8/14
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!
5 Stump Grinder
2/15/14
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.
6 Good Ole Knife Fight
2/22/14
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.
7 Cowpie Heater
3/1/14
Eugene's electric water heater keeps breaking, so he and Spencer design a replacement that runs on manure. Even if local ranchers are willing to share this rich fuel source, the boys' heater must burn clean enough, or his house will smell like a barn.
8 Huntin' Treehouse
3/8/14
If the local hunt club likes a tree stand Eugene and Spencer build, the boys will be allowed to hunt on their private land. Can the boys use their hand-milled lumber, homemade birch oil, and abandoned pigsty roofing to build the stand in time?
9 To Catch A Squirrel
3/15/14
Spencer and Eugene's friend Cowboy wants a girlfriend for his pet squirrel, but capturing a squirrel isn't easy! They must create camouflage suits, and backwoods blowguns, complete with spider venom-tipped darts to try and keep their promise to Cowboy.
10 Backwoods Bunker
3/22/14
Eugene and Spencer make a secret bug-out shelter using an abandoned dynamite cabinet. Eugene risks his life burying the drainage pipe as the steel shelter above him is lowered into the ground.
11 Cold Mountain Power
3/29/14
Eugene and Spencer build a wind turbine to create free power for a friend. They make a wind gauge from a toy car motor and a can and build a turbine powered by a car alternator. Eugene uses this energy to electrify the battery shed to deter thieves.
12 Hillbilly Vodka
4/5/14
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.

When I was a kid, living in Virginia, and again after I got out of the Marine Corps, my friends and I used to spends weekends and vacations up in the Appalachians, either hiking the trail, or living off the land. We'd take a K-bar knife, fishing line, and compass (the ones on the knife weren't reliable), and spend days out there. Spencer and Eugene remind me of those days back in the hills: People we'd meet, the way they lived, and the kindness they showed me when I broke my ankle (wasn't crazy about the home remedy). Eugene could work for NASA, and Spencer is the personality of the show, and no slouch himself. Together, they make the best team on TV. This show is a must see for those who enjoy the simpler life, where phones, bills, traffic, and bosses don't exist. In short, it's Nirvana.
