Who will win the "Outta Sight" birding tournament? Will it be "Team Palomas," "Team Caracaras," or "Team Tweety Birds?" Sometimes, when one sense is lost, another is gained. What that sense is, exactly, is not heard or seen or even described - it is felt. And it is experienced most powerfully through the healing connection to the wild and natural world. This feeling is universal: "If you are alive, if you can hear, if you can see, if your heart is pumping, if you are breathing . . . the sound of nature opens up your thoughts." - Jessica Garza

The final installment of "A Dozen More Turns" sees Sam being airlifted to Bozeman hospital at the conclusion of two horrible days on the mountain. His recovery would take 17 days in hospital, 10 painful operations and many months of physical rehabilitation. Many of us love the outdoors and some of us are lucky enough to live in places where we get the best snow, best white water, best walls or best surf. But with this privilege comes the responsibility of treating these natural resources with respect. There is always the risk of something going wrong when you push the boundaries and perhaps the best lesson to be learned from "A Dozen More Turns" is summed up by Sam: "Don't put yourself in the situation where all of a sudden you're flirting with the 50/50. If everything goes right it's going to be great. If everything doesn't go quite right, it could be really bad".

After the avalanche took the life of Blake Morstad, it also left Sam Kavanagh hanging on by a thread in very dangerous circumstances. Still deep in the backcountry, Sam was hemorrhaging blood from his mangled leg. With weather conditions remaining unfavorable for rescue, the odds were mounting against his survival. In Part Two, Sam retells the story as it unfolded around him. Also, Doug Chabot of the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center, first on the scene after the avalanche hit, walks us through the chain of events leading up to the accident. What natural forces triggered the avalanche? What exactly is "buried surface hoar" ? Most importantly, what is "the human element - the stoke of the day," as Sam calls it, and how can we be aware of it?

1956: A team of explorers documents the disappearance of the world's glaciers. Tools: Ice axes, crampons, and ingenuity. 2006: Conrad Anker, one of the world's most renowned mountain & ice climbers, brings news of the accelerating impacts of climate change straight from the front lines. Tools: Ice-axes, crampons, and ingenuity. Though we're now collecting data via satellite and analyzing by quantum computer, what have we really learned about Earth as an ecosystem over the past half-century? How will we apply it in the next half-century? This film is about learning from experience and passing that experience on to the next generation. It is our world to make. In 2056, what will be our legacy?

"What we see is people with a lot of backcountry experience who understand the science of avalanches, understand why avalanches form, why slopes are dangerous and know what to look for. Yet they still get in trouble. They get hungry for powder and don't look at the situation objectively. They want to ski the run." - Doug Chabot (director of the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center)

Yet they still get in trouble. They get hungry for powder and don't look at the situation objectively. They want to ski the run." - Doug Chabot (director of the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center) When five skiers set off to celebrate New Year's Eve 2005 in the backcountry of Montana's Centennial Range, no one thought that the trip would take Blake Morstad's life and leave Sam Kavanagh minus a leg. Camera footage buried during the avalanche was miraculously recovered months after the accident - and out of the ashes of this tragedy came a powerful film. "All of us that watch this movie will see ourselves in it," Chabot said. "We've all made similar mistakes - the difference is we got away with it."

The final installment of Picante follows the humble chili pepper on its evolutionary journey from commonly used spice, to dangerous weapon. Just because the main compound of the pepper - capsaicin - is found in nature, doesn't mean it can't cause harm. See how law enforcement has taken the beloved chili from our dinner tables and weaponised it for their arsenal.
