Gold Rush Alaska in CANADA?

I came upon this Discovery channel blog about the TV show Gold Rush Alaska. I am nor sure but it sounds as if the next gold rush for the "skid mark" boys is in Canada's Yukon.

Here is thr url for the discussion http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/69419268601/m/33219779701/p/1

Take a look and let me know what you decide?

I Watched the Finale of the "Gold Rush Alaska"

I watched the show last night - I have no TV so have to wait for someone to post it. The best place I have found is Vimeo and here is the show.


Alaska Gold Rush Season Finale from Joe Safety on Vimeo.

It was like the rest of them, a bunch of BS. But people are eating it up. I saw someplace else that it will be back next season. I hope they get rich and go off the air. Not that I think the contract they have with Discovery will let them walk away, but maybe they could find some people like "Jack" who know what to do.

I see that buy the end of the show they are all calling themselves seasoned miners. There is a laugh for you.

One thing that was interesting was a diesel fuel delivery they got. On the side of the little Tank truck it said "Biodiesel". I take it there is a subsidy for hauling corn oil all the way to Alaska. I wonder if the ships that deliver the crude from Valdez take it up on the return trip, so they are not traveling empty?

Simple pleasure: When your dog or cat follows you all over the house.

And here are a couple of sites to look at -

Yesterday I Talked About Gold Rush Alaska

PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 06:  (L-R) Discovery Ch...
After I posted yesterday I went and did a little bit of Googling for Gold Rush AK. If you have been watching you know about poor Dorsey getting a can tied to his tail after that fight scene.

If you have ever been in a scenario similer to the one the Discovery channel has set up here, 6 or 7 guys working in sort of isolation. You will know that sometimes there is a guy in the group that gets to be the butt of jokes and has everyone riding him. On a boat is is usually the cook.

In this case it looks like Dorsey got the honor. He has a blog he set up after he left that gives somewhat of an inside look at the reality of this and other reality type TV shows. I will put a link at the end so you can go see it. Todd say's "the show is the gold mine", and I guess it was, and still is.

There are a couple of links at this site.

I know there are some people in other countries who cannot watch the series on TV where you live.
I did not think of this before but I am going to post the links to a couple of sites you can get it from.

At Electric Gold Mining you can find links to a couple of ways to watch.

If you use Torrent go here:
