Gold rush

[clemsonfor]

I find it funny that they use half an episode showing these dopes trudging and hacking their way through a "jungle"...miles (supposedly) from nowhere...and the next thing you know they have all kinds of machines and equipment on site...:laughing:

Yea i said the same thing to my wife who likes the shows too. How can they need transportation to get around through the jungle and dirt bikes will help? On roads and trails yes but not just off thorugh the jungle they were chopping through.

Why oh why would you go out into the jungle and not have the most basic maintenance supplies with you? This guy is a total idiot. There should have been a small crew in there for 3 months to set up the camp and stage equipment. Logistics is **** sure not his strong suit!

I said the same thing. Who carries an excavator and heavy equiptment into a jungle without a case of fuel filters for each peice of equiptment as well as belts. They even knew that there would be junk fuel there too?

Anybody notice that Parker who is almost out of money has two very expensive rock trucks show up to haul overburden?

I also like the guy Marty on Mountain Men living and trapping in Alaska. They said in a good year he will make $14,000.
With that he has a home, two cabins in the woods, an airplane, snow machine, high powered rifles and all the cold weather gear!
A dollar must go much farther up there. ???

I like the Gold Diggers just because IT'S Women looking for gold instead a lard butt who can't afford a pair of scissors!

Yep did notice the rock truck?

And i said the same thing about marthy can he pay for stuff on $14k?? I think that was just trapping, who knows what else he may do or his wife the rest of the year? But the original season he made like $6k the fuel alone plus just stuff he has would take 4x that much to sustain? All those snow mobile parts would have cost him almost $1k up there i would think

I noticed last year the Hoffmans were using Volvo equipment and were wearing Volvo hats. This year Parker had those 2 dump trucks show up. I wonder if Volvo is letting them use some rental equipment?

IMO the dumbest people are the ones that keep (by watching) the entirely scripted (SO-called) reality shows that deal with pawn shops and storage units...but then again look at most of the other shows on TV... IMO, they reflect the intelligence of the audiences...!

Too bad the "reality" is that the shows and the ads that back them appeal to said viewers. The documenteries that History used to show are far and few between.

Are these guys every going to strike it rich? All they do is spend, spend, spend and one hardship after another. Give it up boys....

Do you honestly think they will turn in the gold they find? Just let the govt take your hard earned labor and mail it to some porch sitters?
