Klondike Gold Rush: Could You Survive For 72 Days In 1897?

[@dtaylor10chuckufarle]

The way the men treated Andria was disgraceful. She's a badass, and I want to be her friend.

[@VanderlyndenJengold]

Yeah, I think this too, but it's TV, it may have been scripted to cause interest to us, the viewer. Can't they hunt, fish fir extra food? I bet there was more around back then though.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Andrea was great. To share her gold after the way she was treated was not period correct. When they cut her out, she would have done the same. Good for you. Was just up there on a cruise. The scale is something you have to see to really appreciate what the miners went through.

[@robkoenig8653]

Love this journey, disappointed in the men and how they treated a fellow team member. Alot has changed in 100 years on respect and admiration for women.

[@ingridakerblom7577]

Yup & now the states are taking it all back! Developing backwards faster than anyone could have guessed..

[@Alyathaean]

So let me get this right: they promised her to get the machine to Klondike, and they abandoned it. And she helped, cooked, etc, and got nothing. At least they should have reimburst the sewing machine. This is worth more than her weight in gold.

[@loveislove4879]

I thought the same thing, but I'm sure if it were in real life back then, they wouldn't have left it bc it's importance would be more evident.

[@nithqueen]

@@loveislove4879 good point, even pirates knew how to sew

[@ThisMessageWillSelfDestruct]

Right? Because having clothes that don't fall off wouldn't help you survive the cold at all (sarcasm). Yet they still took the camera. Reactions in that period were mixed, but on a trek like this an expensive camera is more of a liability than an asset compared to the sewing machine.

[@expressthat2]

​@@ThisMessageWillSelfDestructthey still had needles and thread, the camera hardly the burden to carry the sewing machine is and to be fair she had the option to bring it if she was willing to haul it.

[@petethefeet1461]

it's a tough life it all comes down to whats going to keep me alive i suppose

[@GardenData61371]

These people would do everything for a Klondike bar

[@Seawing-v5d]

🤣

[@tahltanhavoc1706]

I moved away from the Yukon for the first time a few years ago.. seeing this really made my day.. so many memories.. the land of the midnight sun will always be the best and most beautiful place to me.. it is my home after all way up in those snowy mountains

[@readMEinkbooks]

Wow, they leave her machine behind despite promising to take it. And now cut her out? Their excuses stink. Bastards. Every hardship the men had after that was deserved. Felt zero sympathy for them. Amazingly, she worried about them and then shared her gold with them afterwards. They didn't deserve her friendship.

[@VanderlyndenJengold]

It's TV! Have you ever seen it made? It has produced an emotional reaction in you, that's probably what it's for. I hope so anyway, cuz it's just plain rude to treat a person like that, if she's done nothing to deserve it.

[@Jerry_Danger_Haught]

I am Canadian, I’m 90% sure I could survive in the Yukon

[@bethbartlett5692]

I'm an Irish American, the only way I could survive in the Yukon would be in this era, with the amenities of electricity, water, housing, food store, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, a driver, pilot, a staff of friends with the same, communication device, some entertainment tech, a physician, several cases of Irish Whiskey, Single Malt Scotch, Good Wine, Dark Chocolate, and a flight plan to the Southern USA. It is a most undesirable climate there, and my strengths are not in the outdoors. ❄️🌨️⛄

[@cloudsofsunset7323]

The Yukon is the vasquian country of Canada. Only for the bravest

[@senhorakprep]

I'm Brazilian and I couldn't survive there. No way!

[@KathySarich]

At the time of year that they’re there, yes, but during the winter… it’s not so bad on the warmer winter days, but when it drops down to -30 to -50, better hope that you have lots of firewood to burn and a place to hunker down. You also need to have enough food stocked up for the winter as well, obviously nothing is going to grow when it drops well below freezing, could possibly do some trapping in the winter, but hunting is undependable at the best of times. One of my biggest worries here in Saskatchewan, is an extended power outage during the winter, we are very dependent on the power grid and vehicles to keep us warm during the winter.

[@gawaniwhitecrow2731]

🦃

[@Aces77777]

It's cold there, difficult to survive

[@Average--Joe]

I bet the uk wishes they had border control like this today.

[@tahltanhavoc1706]

The border is so loosely monitored 😂😂 it’s just the land is hard to through at many places and you’ll most likely parish trying to bushwhack.. however I’ve crossed over to America by accident is what I mean

[@synastrytarot]

what? unguarded? because that’s what the us/canada border is for thousands of kilometres. i’ve accidentally crossed a few times canoeing. whoopsie.

[@VanderlyndenJengold]

Nope, we're fine thanks. Just a few bullshitters and racists being dumb.

[@looking8030]

Man just when you think that song has finished they stab you in the ears yet again

[@markfriedersdorf4750]

Dang that sewing machine would be very handy back then, since you had to make your own clothes

[@jessicapearson9479]

Not only that, but she would have made very good money making and mending the clothes of others!

[@jsimsgt96]

I’ve been up there. Hell no what a walk

[@thebanjoman1963]

At 61, id be too old to make the trek, but in Feb of this year i had a stroke so I know that id be toast. maybe 25 years ago..

[@TheSilmarillian]

Know its an older repost but a great watch never had gold fever ,remote rural off grid Australia opal miner, its the same drive but for shiny stones and we deal with the heat not so much the cold.

[@nocouponsforkaren8587]

I worked in the outdoors on Minnesota for a while and I cannot stand the heat, I'll work through any blizzard over a 100° day. I have a lot of respect for people who can take it.

[@tortreks]

This is great!

[@swymaj02]

13:27 the song slaps

[@soonmeekim930]

Ironically my name is Andrea and I had recently bought the exact same type of sewing machine 😂

[@thelifewedo]

Great show.

[@jessicapearson9479]

Losing equipment would have been a big problem back then!

[@karmaclanton5544]

This is great!!!

[@sethdavis9740]

What is this from?

[@amystuck987]

Love the story

[@TheDotDetective]

To be on the water and not fish was about the most idiot thing on this show. No one during that period would have passed that up. Salmon runs in the Spring! This show is so not historical but HOLLYWOOD.

[@flinx]

How are the salmon in August which is when they were on the river?

[@ThisMessageWillSelfDestruct]

​@flinx Do you mean other than red salmon, silver salmon, or pink and chum salmon (all of which are present in Aug there)....other than those, none I guess. 😂

[@flinx]

@@ThisMessageWillSelfDestruct Good to know. Since the other person said Salmon runs in the Spring! but they were on the river in August, it wasn't obvious salmon were there at that time too.

[@karmaclanton5544]

What a great adventure!!!

[@Angelicwings1]

Those men abandoned the only woman that many times. They deserved to get whatever they were going to give her. They should have gotten nothing at all. Absolutely awful men. Very disappointing.

[@TamaraTAM_LAKALLE]

Ohhh my God , i will so love to do that experience .. i am already look and doing life and cook and gardening and laundry and more like in the past .. ,i do hate the modern way !

[@pavelow235]

Filming date? Looks like 1990s...

[@darrell3391]

I live in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Those lakes are full of edible fish, why go hungry? Troll some lines behind the boats, fish when you stop.

[@cindyross7174]

Wow. So sad to see that the woman's contribution isn't valued. These men were very insensitive. I would not have gone on the trip like this without a clear understanding of recompense.

[@margaretqueenofscots9450]

That really wasn’t a woman’s world. There’s a good reason there were hardly any women there, and it was because most woman don’t have that fortitude. In that environment weight is everything. Of course they ditched the sewing machine. Women sewed by hand for millennia. So did a lot of these pioneer men, incidentally.

[@jessicapearson9479]

They still would have been treated better back then though! Of course people actually cared and helped others then too!

[@looking8030]

She shouldn’t have shared her gold with the men they dogged her hard

[@Bwana6274]

She’d have to sell herself...

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

17:26 wouldn't that be $700/800 in todays money?!

[@bethbartlett5692]

Gold not hot enough to make me warm and I don't like wild game. The Yukon is not my idea of opportunity or comfort. ❄️⛄🌨️ I'd rather tackle the desert of Nevada ! ☀️

[@weretennikov_alex]

Круто!

[@GigiLirail]

The men are so awful I couldn’t keep watching. Very disappointing. The Edwardian, Victorian, and Tudor series are all much better because the people actually had positive relationships and tried to help each other.

[@VanderlyndenJengold]

Has it crossed your mind it's scripted or made to engage you emotionally? Even so, ppl fall out. I personally think it v rude behaviour if genuine and undeserved.

[@exilbayer6377]

[@ZackLongdick]

What's so funny about this? Genuinely curious.....

[@jadwigazorn390]

🎉first🎉

[@joshuasjericho3915]

This right here is the problem with Canadians you need to learn to be real men and keep your guns! I would like to see them try this in 1897 with Americans try to take away their guns and see what happens! Real men would never give up their whiskey or firearms! 😊

[@Angelicwings1]

Guns don’t make a man. They make a weak man who needs to hide behind a gun like a coward

[@violetabrdar8957]

Old show. Enough with reposting.

[@Krksjek]

am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis amongs, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717238645 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~««♡~............^.^._.._.^_.^^._.^.^.^._............././..:.:..;."..",",",",",",:,:,:.:.:.:.:.. .......
