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.
