This is a Discovery Channel show about guys down on their luck and unemployed going to Alaska from Oregon to become gold miners and get rich.
I watched it last night (first of a series) and couldn't believe their utter stupidity for what they are doing. They are going to paint all miners that play by the rules to look like fools for which they are not. These guys were totally clueless to what they were getting into and doing.
This was the article in the Fairbanks Daily News Miner today. Some video clips at the end.
Fairbanks Daily News-Miner - entry Oregon residents featured in Alaska made for TV mining tale
Now there are going to be a lot more people coming to Alaska with the same mindset that we are the wild west...
The show "Deadliest Catch" is a good example of that, when I am in Dutch Harbor, there is kids coming up to all the boats looking for a job on a crabber... No idea of what one looks like either...
Going to be a lot of dreams on the rocks and broken bank accounts...
