Now THIS is going to be up my alley! Thank you! Might come back for an update!
In days gone by, I would've been begging to go on this trip. Now I'm quite content to watch it.
Even with modern equipment I would be dead in a week.

You’d be fine
At least that would good for the others.....fresh meat.
Oohh I loved this first episode!
This is great!

Link to part 2?
Oh Great... Now I haftà add this to my bucket list 🤣
Why no horses?
The climb? It was mer impossible to have horses. You also have to feed, shelter and keep them out of harms way.
High stakes LARPing
I don't think they drove cars in 1897!
There were a few, for the very rich and avant-garde
I want to see where the gold went after all these years.
No thanks. 3 day canoe trip with portages was enough for me. And Ive refuse to sleep in a tent without an air mattress ever since.
What year is this from lol
Life was good then. The people had all the gold they could eat and all the whiskey they could drink. What more could they ask?
Modern medicine.
@@jackrigdon6270 Nah. Everything took a backseat to the search for gold.
@@Snuffy03 I am a railroad/mining historian by trade. The ways to die were horrible and numerous
