Hillbilly Blood

2011

Up on Cold Mountain, in the heart of the Appalachians, life isn't easy. Mountain folk have learned get by with little. But two men up in these hollers truly embody the Hillbilly lifestyle: inventor Eugene Runkis and his best friend Spencer Bolejack. Together, these two unlock the secrets of the mountain to help them put food on the table and support their families. And if that means concocting gadgets from what most people would consider trash, that's suits them just fine. With their innate Hillbilly skills, they can survive whatever Mother Nature throws in their path.

Eugene Runkis and Spencer "Two Dogs" Bolejack have survived in swamps, the deep mountain wilderness and the primitive Caribbean bush. Now, Eugene and Spencer are using their backwoods ingenuity to survive the Appalachian Mountains – the Hillbilly way. From crossing a freezing river in a raft made out of vines, to eating deer heart for dinner, it's a hardscrapple life.

The boys use their Hillbilly smarts to search for a lost creek filled with gold and create their own dredger to retrieve the treasure. They also use their hillbilly engineering skills to make a water-wheel-powered dehydrator out of junk, and to move a tin roof.

HILLBILLY BLOOD is back with another season of everyone's favorite country-living MacGyvers and even more of Eugene and Spencer's methodical ingenuity and wilderness expertise in creating handmade contraptions – from Lincoln log drying sheds to hillbilly cooling pads. Follow these mountain men as they construct intricate gadgets and engineering machines out of scrap parts.

Spencer and Eugene build a hillbilly houseboat out of a discarded camping trailer, a metal detector out of bamboo and wire scraps, a engine-powered chainsaw bicycle, a solar-powered hot water heater out of salvaged pipes and old beer cans, and many more odd projects on this season of Hillbilly Blood.
