My team and I explore every corner of Alaska to find some of the toughest machines out there for this Science Channel Show. From Dutch Harbor to Barrow to Sitka, I travel over 20,000 miles and endure temperatures of -40F to produce stories about the people and machines that keep Alaska running through the frigid arctic winters. (Other cities included Anchorage, Fairbanks, Deadhorse, Kodiak, Juneau, Homer, Clear, Delta Junction, Whittier and Akutan.) Some of the machines I cover are the Chinook Helicopter, Tustumena Ferry, Coast Guard Cutter Spar, Port of Anchorage including their mighty tug boats, Trident Fish Processing Plant and the Alaskan Railroad.
