As Kevin's log salvaging operation struggles, he pins his hopes on getting back up to his mountain timber claim; a long-time mill hand quits, leaving big shoes to fill.
With his timber claim still snowed in, Kevin and crew push the limits of his small boat to try and salvage more logs on the Alberni Inlet; Sarah plans a surprise for Kevin's birthday.
Kevin kicks into high gear to haul as much red cedar from the mountain as he can. Sarah helps with a massive reforestation effort and gets Kevin to create a custom wooden table for a client.
