Further Adventures of the Wilderness Family

Doctor, are you sure where are we going?

I have never flown up here before.

Relax Stan, I know this country like the back of my hand.

You say this guy Robinson just bail out of L.A. huh?

Moved with his family way the heck up here.

Yup.

Did about six months ago, he's been here since last spring.

That's a long time.

I think by now they'd be ready to get a little inside plumbing

and some electricity.

No, I don't think so.

The Robinson's did something that a lot of city folks would like to do.

So last spring they sold everything in the city,

bought this place up here on the lake and built themselves a cabin.

Well they really have to boondocks, no roads, no stores, no neighbors.

Yeah. That's the idea.

You gonna have to go right 5 degrees,

and the lake is just beyond that mountain ridge.

- Hey Jenny, it's the Doc. - Yeah, and he's going to the cabin.

Oh well, let's go.

Hurry up, Toby.

Come on...

- Pam. - Yeah.

Mike's here.

Dad, I'm going to race you to the plane.

Okay.

Hey, Mike!

How you doing?

- How are you? - Great!

Skip, you look terrific!

Hi kids.

- Want you to meet Stan Corbel. - Hi, nice to finally meet all of you.

Yeah, sure heard a lot about you.

- Here Jenny, would you take that? - What is that Doc?

Do you know what's happening to him?

He's eating so many fresh green vegetables...

he's turning into a little rabbit.

- Take that. - Get it up to the cabin.

- You got everything, yeah? - Oh yeah.

- Take this one, this is a goody box. - Okay.

How's the big city?

Oh, the big city is a ... big city, what can I tell you.

- The feel is marvellous, how's Pam? - She's great.

- She's really been bakin' all night. - Oh, I love the bakin'.

Used to have more room on that lake.

- Pretty tight, huh. - Wouldn't try it on skis..

Hey, look who's here!

- Hello, stranger. - Hi Pam.

- Meet Stan Corbel. - Hi Stan.

- How was your trip? - Terrific.

Except, ..er, we couldn't find it on the map.

- No kiss? - Oh, so you bet!

Come on, there's hot coffee inside.

Hey there gosh, there's a bear!

It's only Samson.

Pam, you look fantastic.

I can't believe it, you look 10 years younger.

- Does this fellow bite? - Only could.

Jenny?

- Is this your mother, or your sister? - Actually, she's my sister!

But we're not going to tell Toby till he's grown.

She is not your sister, she's your mother.

We weren't suppose to tell.

Why don't guys stay over tonight, we can do some fishing.

- Yeah, come on. - I'm sorry, but I have an appointment

with a lady who's expecting a visit from the big bird.

- The big bird? - Yeah, the stork.

- You know I know better than that! - Come on...

Look at you two. You have to be the 2 healthiest kid I've ever seen.

- What am I doing here, anyway. - Does that mean we don't get our shots?

No such luck Toby!

- Roll up your sleeve. - Boy, that was dumb!

Why did I have to ...ow!

- Why did I have to mention it hurts? - It's okay.

We have the cure for that, right over there in that box.

- School books? - Yeah.

- I brought them special. - Plus ice skates...

Come on Jenny, it's your turn.

And the most important thing.

- The complete wilderness Almanac. - That just about covers everything.

Dad. Can we make snowshoes this winter?

Thanks for everything, Mike.

Please, don't mention it. Coming out here is my therapy.

The old-timers say we are heading for a real hard winter.

- Like, we are as prepared as we can be. - Please don't worry about us.

Me and my dad we talked it over. We decided we gonna stick it out.

Just so, we know you're prepared.

We gotta go.

Toby, next time I come, no needles and no school books.

You got it.

Dad what does the smoke do? Makes meat taste better?

Well it helps. But it also preserves it.

I'm going to need all these for the winter.

- Dad? - Yeah?

When are you going to teach me how to hunt?

Ah, real soon, Toby.

How are you gonna teach me how to shoot?

When I teach you how to hunt.

Oh boy.

- Want to race back to the cabin? - No thanks!

- Did you see the target? - Yep.

Okay. Check the chamber. Make sure it's empty.

Empty? Put in the bullet.

Close it...

Do not touch the trigger till you're ready to shoot.

Take the bead, put it into the V and line it up with your can over there.

Finger on the trigger, and pull very slowly.

You okay?

Now come back here...

Are you alright?

Dang you. What in tarnation were you shooting at anyway young man?

I swear that hot lead come within 2 inches of my ear.

Hi Boomer.

- It was that close, huh? - Well, it was at least 2 feet.

Gee, I'm really sorry, Boomer.

Well what was you shooting at anyhow?

That tin can over there, look!

It's the truth.

Hey, I bought the chickens and a goat. You want some milk?

I hate it ...

- I don't know, my girl there running. - I'm glad you're here, Boomer.

Shez, I'm glad to be here.

- Look guys, I hit it. I hit it. - Good.

Say little Jenny, she feeling better?

Oh, she's growing like a flower, let's go see 'em.

- I hit it. - That's good shooting, son.

Come on.

I hit it, you guys.

I hit it...

Jenny, Jenny, I hit it. I hit it.

- Hi, Boomer. - Oh, hi Ms Jenny.

Oh, I swear you've been getting prettier everytime I see you.

Mom, I hit it.

- Hi, Boomer. - Excuse me, Mrs. Robinson.

- Toby, give me a hand. - Yeah.

I got this from an Indian.

At the Treeforts, trading using beaver hide. Here.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Oh, ain't that much.

You are staying for dinner.

Well tell you ma'am, I just can't.

Rory and me gonna heap of travelin' to do before the snowfalls, gonna be an early winter.

Roast ...

- No, ma'am I ... - Fresh mustard cream,

- Mashed potatoes... - Well, I ain't really got the time ...

- Apple pie... - Well, I ...

Fresh home-made apple pie.

Well, sure we're staying. Why shouldn't we stay?

It's a home and life for us here, Boomer, we are happy.

Well, I sure am glad to hear that. Truly am.

I do hope that you know what you're getting yourself into, though.

I mean, you all ever been through a real winter?

Oh, yeah!

In California it rained three whole days and the streets got flooded and everything.

Well darling, I don't reckon that's really quite the kind of winter I had in mind.

You see, I'm talking about a real winter, rips storms, wind.

Howling winter, where the snow gets deep and it gets cold and I do mean cold.

How cold Boomer?

One morning last December, I went outside,

and I reached out for my finger to scratch my ear, well it froze there.

And I had to walk around like this till ....

Boomer...

Say speaking of winter skip, there'll be a lot of breed out there getting hungry.

They just love to pay you a visit.

Especially old Scarface.

Who's old Scarface, Boomer?

Scarface is a wolf, Toby!

Big, black mean wolf.

It got a scar right here, I reckon it's just about the meanest creature around here.

Okay, let's keep the record straight Boomer.

Wolves do not attack people!

But when it gets frozen out there, damn creatures started starvin'.

Just love to smell all that good food you got in there and come lookin' for it.

Now that is fact.

Boomer, this is our home.

Sorry ma'am, I just got carried away.

I thought that I ought to warn you, that's all.

Oh I'd like to put a motion before the house,

and that is that we have Boomer stick around for a while.

- All in favour, say "Ai" - Ai

All against "Ay". The "Ai"s have it. Boomer stays, okay.

Hey yeah, you could sleep with Samson.

Oh yeah, what about Samson, Dad?

I'll just have to make some other arrangements.

Come out Samson.

Let's go, ah ... Boomer wants the room for tonight, come on...

Come on ...

Come on in Boomer, you're safe now.

Ain't that I got nothing against bears you understand, it's just that ...

You don't have to explain. Samson understands. If anything call. ok?

Hey, thank you, kindly. You'd better .....

I think I'll be hitting the shack.

- Goodnight Boomer. - Goodnight Skip.

- Is that Boomer? - Sounds likes he's gonna kill ...

- Boomer! - Wah, ooh!

What's going on?

Hi Skip, never much. I just couldn't sleep,

that's why I come up for a breath of fresh air...

I found you yelling and screaming and what's happening up here?

Oh, I ain't yellin' and screamin', I ...
