Ose mountain

The prize of the competition is the deed to the Alaskan homestead of Duane and Rena Ose. Duane Ose hiked to the homestead in 1982.[1] He claims to have been the last homesteader in the US filing a claim under the Homestead Act of 1862 in 1986. The Oses built the homestead they call Ose Mountain up by hand using trunks felled from their forest. The homestead is about 100 miles away from the nearest road and can be accessed only with a plane to its own airfield.[2]

After the show the winners, Mark and Emily, first were on good terms with the previous owners of the homestead, but more recently the previous owner, Duane Ose, is reported to have been demanding the homestead back.[3]
