1
00:00:03,337 --> 00:00:06,605
To honor parker
schnabel's grandfather...
2
00:00:07,875 --> 00:00:09,442
Four friends are taking on
3
00:00:09,444 --> 00:00:11,577
one of the planet's
wildest journeys...
4
00:00:11,579 --> 00:00:14,346
Anybody changing their mind,
now is the time.
5
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:16,715
To see if they can finish
the trail...
6
00:00:16,717 --> 00:00:18,818
Um, I don't know
if I got it in me.
7
00:00:18,820 --> 00:00:20,052
You just gonna
leave us over there?
8
00:00:20,054 --> 00:00:21,520
How the was I supposed to know?!
9
00:00:22,623 --> 00:00:24,223
And find gold
10
00:00:24,225 --> 00:00:26,492
like the legends
who came before them.
11
00:00:26,494 --> 00:00:29,395
Unreal, the that
these old-timers went through.
12
00:00:30,665 --> 00:00:32,965
Now we get a sneak peek
13
00:00:32,967 --> 00:00:35,901
into an upcoming series
about this expedition.
14
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:38,704
My biggest concern
is somebody getting hurt.
15
00:00:38,706 --> 00:00:42,308
But first, we're digging deep
into the seven years
16
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:43,609
that led up to this journey...
17
00:00:43,611 --> 00:00:46,612
That's a, um,
pretty sensitive topic for me.
18
00:00:46,614 --> 00:00:49,215
One thing I've never wanted
to do is be an angry person.
19
00:00:49,217 --> 00:00:50,549
Life's too short for that.
20
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:53,486
And uncovering
what inspired their adventure.
21
00:00:53,488 --> 00:00:54,620
You know, for me personally,
22
00:00:54,622 --> 00:00:56,155
it's a big testament
to my grandpa.
23
00:00:56,157 --> 00:00:58,691
Give me a hug.
24
00:01:00,928 --> 00:01:06,232
Coming up on
"gold rush: Before the trail."
25
00:01:06,234 --> 00:01:10,302
in the seven years before
setting off on their epic trek,
26
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:12,571
friends
and now business partners
27
00:01:12,573 --> 00:01:14,940
parker schnabel and rick ness...
28
00:01:14,942 --> 00:01:16,208
Come on, come down.
29
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:17,409
Have been on
30
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:19,345
a different sort
of roller coaster ride.
31
00:01:19,347 --> 00:01:21,247
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
32
00:01:21,249 --> 00:01:22,314
They've been
hitting the highs...
33
00:01:22,316 --> 00:01:25,050
And lows...
34
00:01:25,052 --> 00:01:26,685
Yeah, we're at a standstill.
35
00:01:26,687 --> 00:01:28,954
Of gold mining.
36
00:01:28,956 --> 00:01:31,957
For parker, it all began
with noisy neighbors.
37
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,427
So, the first year that
todd hoffman came up to alaska
38
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:36,762
and went gold mining,
39
00:01:36,764 --> 00:01:40,766
I was 15 when he showed up
and set up shop
40
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:44,503
literally about 300 yards
from my grandpa's cabin...
41
00:01:44,505 --> 00:01:47,039
Like, just across the creek,
bordering claims.
42
00:01:47,041 --> 00:01:49,742
Take a look at this.
43
00:01:51,112 --> 00:01:52,578
Get some neighbors,
44
00:01:53,781 --> 00:01:56,181
They got a lot of machinery.
Yeah.
45
00:01:56,183 --> 00:01:59,985
And so, naturally,
you get to know the neighbors.
46
00:01:59,987 --> 00:02:01,654
And I ended up
on the show a few times
47
00:02:01,656 --> 00:02:04,790
just because, you know, like,
I sold them some firewood.
48
00:02:04,792 --> 00:02:06,158
Parker, what's with the wood?
49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,893
You feeling sorry
for these guys?
50
00:02:07,895 --> 00:02:09,161
No.
51
00:02:09,163 --> 00:02:11,664
I charged them double
what I usually do.
52
00:02:11,666 --> 00:02:14,900
And the next season,
they called me up and said,
53
00:02:14,902 --> 00:02:17,269
"hey, we're looking to film
with some other mine sites,
54
00:02:17,271 --> 00:02:21,140
and we really love the story
about you and your grandpa."
55
00:02:21,142 --> 00:02:23,242
and the rest is history.
56
00:02:23,244 --> 00:02:26,145
Here we are,
probably 150 episodes later.
57
00:02:26,147 --> 00:02:28,847
Wow, you weren't
screwing around too much
58
00:02:28,849 --> 00:02:30,482
when you were 20, were you?
59
00:02:30,484 --> 00:02:33,085
No, I was working
like an idiot, like you.
60
00:02:33,988 --> 00:02:35,521
All work and no play.
61
00:02:35,523 --> 00:02:38,724
You've got to get big,
you got to think big.
62
00:02:41,062 --> 00:02:43,195
Grandpa john
handed parker the mine
63
00:02:43,197 --> 00:02:46,999
when he was 16 years old,
and parker quickly began
64
00:02:47,001 --> 00:02:50,235
to scale up the operation
and hire his own crew.
65
00:02:50,237 --> 00:02:53,372
Many of them have come and gone.
66
00:02:53,374 --> 00:02:58,677
But one, rick ness, has been
with him through thick and thin.
67
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:01,213
Rick and I met...
68
00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:04,783
It was our first summer
on "gold rush."
69
00:03:04,785 --> 00:03:07,586
his band came to haines
for a big state fair...
70
00:03:12,827 --> 00:03:16,295
And I met him
after one of the shows.
71
00:03:16,297 --> 00:03:18,731
Yep. Fanboy.
72
00:03:18,733 --> 00:03:21,300
I didn't even know
he was on the show at the time.
73
00:03:29,577 --> 00:03:31,343
Honestly, I've traveled a lot.
74
00:03:31,345 --> 00:03:33,178
I've been, you know,
all over the world,
75
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:35,614
and alaska just really
blew me away when I saw it.
76
00:03:35,616 --> 00:03:37,883
I really...
Honestly, all I was looking for
77
00:03:37,885 --> 00:03:40,519
was a way to spend a summer
in alaska.
78
00:03:40,521 --> 00:03:43,055
Yeah.
79
00:03:43,057 --> 00:03:46,492
You spent most of that summer
in a rock truck, didn't you?
80
00:03:46,494 --> 00:03:48,627
Sure did.
Best summer of my life.
81
00:03:50,631 --> 00:03:53,332
Grandpa john
was a great teacher,
82
00:03:53,334 --> 00:03:57,169
but parker had to learn a few
crucial lessons on his own.
83
00:03:57,171 --> 00:03:59,538
I have not told you
how to do your job one time
84
00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:00,939
this whole year!
85
00:04:00,941 --> 00:04:03,075
You won't make money
if you chase the help off.
86
00:04:03,077 --> 00:04:05,044
You know, I think about
that first season
87
00:04:05,046 --> 00:04:07,813
that I started running
big nugget mine
88
00:04:07,815 --> 00:04:09,682
and that my grandpa
stepped back,
89
00:04:09,684 --> 00:04:12,184
but I was completely unprepared.
90
00:04:12,186 --> 00:04:13,419
It was very tough.
91
00:04:13,421 --> 00:04:14,887
Those first few years
were really tough
92
00:04:14,889 --> 00:04:18,857
just because
I had no experience, right?
93
00:04:18,859 --> 00:04:21,627
I had zero experience, really,
dealing with people
94
00:04:21,629 --> 00:04:23,896
and dealing with
those kind of problems.
95
00:04:23,898 --> 00:04:27,399
And that's a hard thing
to go into.
96
00:04:27,401 --> 00:04:29,401
It's a really hard thing
to go into.
97
00:04:29,403 --> 00:04:32,371
And when you don't have
experience to back up decisions,
98
00:04:32,373 --> 00:04:33,939
you know, for me, it led
99
00:04:33,941 --> 00:04:36,442
to just getting emotional
about things.
100
00:04:36,444 --> 00:04:38,177
And I'd get mad, I'd yell.
101
00:04:38,179 --> 00:04:40,145
I don't need that okay?
The first thing you do...
102
00:04:40,147 --> 00:04:41,647
I don't need you
yelling at me like that.
103
00:04:41,649 --> 00:04:43,048
Don't talk, don't talk.
Just listen.
104
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:44,316
I'm spending the money here.
105
00:04:44,318 --> 00:04:45,718
I spent the money
on that wash plant,
106
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,019
and I make the calls.
107
00:04:47,021 --> 00:04:48,687
I'm not very happy
with you or carl.
108
00:04:48,689 --> 00:04:49,988
So, yeah, you know,
109
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:51,657
a lot of tail
wagging the dog around here.
110
00:04:51,659 --> 00:04:54,293
I'm not gonna take any
from the little punk.
111
00:04:54,295 --> 00:04:56,028
I'm pretty pissed off.
112
00:04:56,030 --> 00:04:59,264
He didn't understand that, you
know, while it's a business,
113
00:04:59,266 --> 00:05:00,632
we are still kind of a team
114
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:02,201
and we're all kind of going
for the same goal.
115
00:05:02,203 --> 00:05:03,435
You know what I mean?
116
00:05:03,437 --> 00:05:05,904
It took him a few years
to realize that.
117
00:05:05,906 --> 00:05:09,007
But now that he's kind of
coming around to it,
118
00:05:09,009 --> 00:05:10,542
it's improving a lot.
119
00:05:10,544 --> 00:05:13,412
One thing I've never wanted
to do is be an angry person.
120
00:05:13,414 --> 00:05:15,574
I don't want to be that guy.
Life's too short for that.
121
00:05:18,285 --> 00:05:20,953
Sorry for...
Being so aggressive.
122
00:05:20,955 --> 00:05:22,387
Thank you for that.
123
00:05:26,961 --> 00:05:28,794
Always pushing to grow,
124
00:05:28,796 --> 00:05:31,697
parker and rick
made the biggest jump so far,
125
00:05:31,699 --> 00:05:33,665
leaving the big nugget mine
behind.
126
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:37,236
There's not
any good ground left, you know?
127
00:05:37,238 --> 00:05:39,271
There's not another season left
for me here.
128
00:05:39,273 --> 00:05:42,307
The next year was a...
Was a new opportunity again.
129
00:05:42,309 --> 00:05:43,709
Right? Yeah.
130
00:05:43,711 --> 00:05:47,346
And it was go into the klondike
and try it up there.
131
00:05:47,348 --> 00:05:49,214
And, you know, that's
the kind of stuff I live for,
132
00:05:49,216 --> 00:05:51,517
so, you know, it was
a no-brainer for me to go back.
133
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:52,851
You know I couldn't stay away.
134
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,253
Never been so happy
to see you, man.
135
00:05:58,259 --> 00:05:59,992
As soon as I went up there
136
00:05:59,994 --> 00:06:01,226
and as soon as I saw, like,
137
00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:04,229
tony beets' operation
and a few others',
138
00:06:04,231 --> 00:06:05,864
that's when I was like,
"all right,
139
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:08,367
this is the promised land if
you want to be a gold miner."
140
00:06:08,369 --> 00:06:11,003
I got to get up here
where the big boys play.
141
00:06:11,005 --> 00:06:12,938
And in the yukon,
142
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:16,408
there's one big boy
who likes to play rough.
143
00:06:16,410 --> 00:06:18,477
For me, the biggest
challenge I've faced
144
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:20,145
over the last four or five years
145
00:06:20,147 --> 00:06:21,513
is dealing with tony beets.
146
00:06:21,515 --> 00:06:22,781
The way he does business,
147
00:06:22,783 --> 00:06:24,449
he doesn't care
about anybody else.
148
00:06:31,091 --> 00:06:35,060
He knows how to get you in a
position where you're screwed.
149
00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:41,500
You just show up in the
spring and shutting us down?
150
00:06:44,038 --> 00:06:46,572
A contract.
151
00:06:46,574 --> 00:06:48,974
You know, like, last year,
we had this big issue.
152
00:06:48,976 --> 00:06:50,576
He told me not to show up
on his claims
153
00:06:50,578 --> 00:06:51,944
until we signed a lease.
154
00:06:51,946 --> 00:06:54,246
And we signed a lease,
and we sent it to him
155
00:06:54,248 --> 00:06:56,114
and we showed up
and went to work.
156
00:06:56,116 --> 00:06:58,684
And then,
instead of signing it himself,
157
00:06:58,686 --> 00:07:01,453
he changed it
and came and told us,
158
00:07:01,455 --> 00:07:04,857
"sorry, it's not valid,"
because we didn't sign it.
159
00:07:04,859 --> 00:07:06,825
I signed it. I sent it to you.
160
00:07:06,827 --> 00:07:08,293
And now you're changing it?
161
00:07:10,231 --> 00:07:13,065
It's not valid
until tony signs it, right?
162
00:07:13,067 --> 00:07:16,635
And so that is shady, right?
163
00:07:16,637 --> 00:07:17,903
That's... I don't think
164
00:07:17,905 --> 00:07:19,505
that's a very good way
of doing business.
165
00:07:25,379 --> 00:07:28,113
Even with a tough landlord,
166
00:07:28,115 --> 00:07:31,450
parker has ramped up production
and begun to delegate.
167
00:07:31,452 --> 00:07:33,185
One of the greatest things
rick's done
168
00:07:33,187 --> 00:07:36,221
is came to me this last spring,
169
00:07:36,223 --> 00:07:37,756
at the beginning of the season,
170
00:07:37,758 --> 00:07:39,358
and I don't think there were
cameras around or anything,
171
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,826
but he just said, "parker",
172
00:07:40,828 --> 00:07:46,598
you get way too worked up
at the crew over little things.
173
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,667
So when you have a problem
with what's going on out there,
174
00:07:48,669 --> 00:07:50,936
come to me, take it out on me,
175
00:07:50,938 --> 00:07:52,337
"and let me deal with it."
176
00:07:52,339 --> 00:07:54,606
and that was a huge gift.
177
00:07:54,608 --> 00:07:57,576
It started a huge change
between him and I, for sure.
178
00:07:57,578 --> 00:07:59,044
Yeah.
179
00:07:59,046 --> 00:08:01,613
Now I yell at you,
and you go deal with it.
180
00:08:01,615 --> 00:08:02,881
It's great.
181
00:08:02,883 --> 00:08:04,650
That may have been
a step backwards
182
00:08:04,652 --> 00:08:06,318
in your whole plan, there,
but...
183
00:08:07,721 --> 00:08:09,388
That only happened
a couple times this summer.
184
00:08:09,390 --> 00:08:14,359
Parker's temper is far from the
biggest hazard on the work site.
185
00:08:14,361 --> 00:08:16,995
The smallest things
can prove deadly.
186
00:08:16,997 --> 00:08:19,865
You know, our safety record
is pretty...
187
00:08:19,867 --> 00:08:21,633
Good out there, yeah.
188
00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:23,735
I mean, it's great, honestly.
189
00:08:23,737 --> 00:08:25,904
I've gotten hurt a few times,
190
00:08:25,906 --> 00:08:28,006
but it's been
for really stupid things.
191
00:08:28,008 --> 00:08:30,409
You're the one
that's come closest to dying
192
00:08:30,411 --> 00:08:31,476
with a bee sting.
193
00:08:34,715 --> 00:08:36,081
Off.
194
00:08:36,083 --> 00:08:37,849
I got stung by a bee this summer
195
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:39,518
and went into
anaphylactic shock.
196
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,853
You know, I had to find
an epipen and stab myself.
197
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:43,388
Um...
198
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:45,023
But that has nothing to do
with the work conditions.
199
00:08:45,025 --> 00:08:46,425
You know what I mean? And...
200
00:08:46,427 --> 00:08:48,760
It got me, like, right here,
201
00:08:48,762 --> 00:08:50,862
and it's all swollen
down to here.
202
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:53,899
And I've got, like,
a woman's breast.
203
00:08:53,901 --> 00:08:55,901
It's like a "c" cup.
204
00:08:55,903 --> 00:08:57,135
Like, it falls.
205
00:08:57,137 --> 00:08:59,438
Like, it's... no, it's absurd.
206
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,973
The nurse was laughing at me.
207
00:09:02,309 --> 00:09:03,842
We're all laughing at him
as he's puffing up.
208
00:09:03,844 --> 00:09:05,243
Yeah, my face is swelling up.
209
00:09:05,245 --> 00:09:06,611
And he's, like, starting
to have a hard time breathing.
210
00:09:06,613 --> 00:09:08,246
We're like, "we should
probably stop laughing"
211
00:09:08,248 --> 00:09:09,715
and do something about this."
212
00:09:09,717 --> 00:09:10,717
yeah, yeah. It was scary.
213
00:09:13,187 --> 00:09:15,454
Over the last seven years,
214
00:09:15,456 --> 00:09:18,390
success or failure
has come down to one thing...
215
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:19,925
See what this brings us to.
216
00:09:19,927 --> 00:09:21,526
Yeah, there's quite a bit
in there.
217
00:09:21,528 --> 00:09:24,529
How much gold do they have
at the end of the season?
218
00:09:24,531 --> 00:09:25,697
Nice chunks.
219
00:09:25,699 --> 00:09:27,399
And we've come a long way.
220
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:30,135
Our first season... I mean,
before rick was even there...
221
00:09:30,137 --> 00:09:31,636
We did 37 ounces.
222
00:09:31,638 --> 00:09:33,105
It looks like a lot of gold,
223
00:09:33,107 --> 00:09:36,041
but we spent a lot of money
to get it.
224
00:09:36,043 --> 00:09:40,912
The next season,
we did 193 or 192.
225
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:43,048
You got 2-ounce profit.
226
00:09:43,050 --> 00:09:44,683
Yeah.
227
00:09:44,685 --> 00:09:47,052
Then, we went to the yukon,
and that year...
228
00:09:47,054 --> 00:09:49,955
First year in the yukon...
We did 1,029?
229
00:09:49,957 --> 00:09:52,190
I'm overwhelmed.
230
00:09:52,192 --> 00:09:55,260
I never have seen that much
gold in my whole life,
231
00:09:55,262 --> 00:09:56,695
at one time.
232
00:09:56,697 --> 00:10:00,766
And then, the second year
up there, we did 2,538.
233
00:10:00,768 --> 00:10:01,933
Look at that.
234
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:03,902
That's another 200.
235
00:10:07,574 --> 00:10:11,076
And the year after that, 3,362.
236
00:10:11,078 --> 00:10:13,245
Ooh! Boy, is that heavy.
237
00:10:14,314 --> 00:10:15,981
What?!
238
00:10:15,983 --> 00:10:19,818
And then, this season,
we've done 4,311,
239
00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:21,553
so it's been
quite the progression.
240
00:10:21,555 --> 00:10:23,121
I don't know.
241
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:25,490
That all adds up to probably
close to 11,000 ounces or so.
242
00:10:32,032 --> 00:10:34,499
Coming up, parker has to answer
243
00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:37,369
to his parents and his fans.
244
00:10:37,371 --> 00:10:40,672
"Could you please get parker
to get a nice haircut?"
245
00:10:40,674 --> 00:10:41,840
of course. I have no comment.
246
00:10:43,077 --> 00:10:45,343
And then we get a sneak peek
247
00:10:45,345 --> 00:10:47,212
into the upcoming miniseries...
248
00:10:47,214 --> 00:10:48,613
This is brutal.
249
00:10:48,615 --> 00:10:50,749
This is so dangerous.
250
00:10:50,751 --> 00:10:53,285
Where parker
and his three friends
251
00:10:53,287 --> 00:10:55,620
push themselves to the limit.
252
00:10:55,622 --> 00:10:58,890
If somebody gets hurt,
that's serious up there.
253
00:10:58,892 --> 00:11:02,127
You know, from hurt to killed
is pretty quick.
254
00:11:02,129 --> 00:11:03,328
Brace yourselves!
255
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:04,229
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
256
00:11:04,231 --> 00:11:05,391
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
257
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:17,275
- Hey!
- Parker!
258
00:11:18,745 --> 00:11:20,545
For seven years,
roger and nancy schnabel
259
00:11:20,547 --> 00:11:22,080
have watched their son parker
260
00:11:22,082 --> 00:11:24,349
grow up
from a high-school sophomore
261
00:11:24,351 --> 00:11:25,917
to a full-time miner.
262
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:30,055
Now we'll find out what it's
been like for them as parents
263
00:11:30,057 --> 00:11:33,859
and learn how parker
first caught gold fever.
264
00:11:36,130 --> 00:11:37,696
John mined every summer,
265
00:11:37,698 --> 00:11:40,665
so the mine was always
a huge part of their lives.
266
00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:43,135
And parker's question to
grandpa was, you know,
267
00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:44,669
"when can I go to big nugget?
268
00:11:44,671 --> 00:11:46,805
When can I
go to the mine with you?"
269
00:11:46,807 --> 00:11:49,074
and john looked at him and said,
270
00:11:49,076 --> 00:11:51,710
"when you're not wearing
those diapers."
271
00:11:51,712 --> 00:11:54,212
in about two or three days,
his mother brought him up.
272
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:56,882
And he unzipped his pants,
and he said,
273
00:11:56,884 --> 00:11:59,217
"grandpa, I got no diapers."
274
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:04,022
my father... it was too much
for him to mine
275
00:12:04,024 --> 00:12:06,158
and take care of two youngsters,
276
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,426
and so he would
take one at a time.
277
00:12:08,428 --> 00:12:09,928
Nancy and I had to figure out,
278
00:12:09,930 --> 00:12:12,631
"okay, who's gonna go
and who isn't gonna go?"
279
00:12:12,633 --> 00:12:15,767
and payson didn't have
quite the passion
280
00:12:15,769 --> 00:12:18,236
for going up there
than parker did.
281
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:19,304
And parker would drop
anything and everything
282
00:12:19,306 --> 00:12:20,672
to go up to the mine.
283
00:12:20,674 --> 00:12:23,475
So he would ask us,
"if payson doesn't want to go,"
284
00:12:23,477 --> 00:12:27,412
grandpa said that he would take
one person every day,
285
00:12:27,414 --> 00:12:29,347
and so I'll fill in for payson.
286
00:12:29,349 --> 00:12:31,116
"Is that okay?" and sure.
287
00:12:31,118 --> 00:12:33,385
The nice thing about big
nugget when I was growing up
288
00:12:33,387 --> 00:12:35,387
was that it was everything
a kid needed.
289
00:12:35,389 --> 00:12:37,155
When I wanted
to have it be a playground,
290
00:12:37,157 --> 00:12:38,590
it was a playground.
291
00:12:38,592 --> 00:12:40,659
When I wanted it to be a
school, it was a school.
292
00:12:40,661 --> 00:12:44,162
I've practically grown up
up there.
293
00:12:44,164 --> 00:12:46,131
How are you, buddy? Pretty good.
294
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:48,900
With parker growing up
in front of the cameras,
295
00:12:48,902 --> 00:12:52,604
many fans want to know what it's
been like behind the scenes.
296
00:12:52,606 --> 00:12:55,874
So now we let our viewers
ask the questions.
297
00:12:55,876 --> 00:12:58,376
Gem p. Asks...
298
00:13:03,483 --> 00:13:07,519
I think that when I look back
over the seven years
299
00:13:07,521 --> 00:13:12,057
and, you know, going from
a 15-year-old to a 22-year-old,
300
00:13:12,059 --> 00:13:15,660
I think one of the things
that I'm most proud of
301
00:13:15,662 --> 00:13:18,897
is that he never shied away
302
00:13:18,899 --> 00:13:21,333
from the challenges
that kept coming up.
303
00:13:21,335 --> 00:13:23,134
It has not all been easy.
304
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:25,270
It's still been, you know,
at times,
305
00:13:25,272 --> 00:13:27,539
a really discouraging,
hard, tough road,
306
00:13:27,541 --> 00:13:29,808
and he just kept at it.
307
00:13:29,810 --> 00:13:33,311
It's been fun to be able
to see him develop.
308
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:36,047
The klondike is the biggest
sandbox in the world,
309
00:13:36,049 --> 00:13:37,582
and I'm ready to play.
310
00:13:37,584 --> 00:13:39,918
From melissa t.G...
311
00:13:43,890 --> 00:13:46,558
"it was stressful allowing
my boys to drive cars."
312
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:52,130
as far as the stress level goes,
when you're raising children,
313
00:13:52,132 --> 00:13:55,700
you've got to try and figure
out how long or big of a leash
314
00:13:55,702 --> 00:13:59,037
should you have on your child.
315
00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:01,773
Did you just assume
you would take that equipment?
316
00:14:01,775 --> 00:14:06,811
And this is the first that
you're gonna talk about it?
317
00:14:06,813 --> 00:14:09,514
I'm not gonna support a kid
318
00:14:09,516 --> 00:14:13,318
in thinking that life
is gonna be handed out to him.
319
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:16,888
You might have something
to add to that, honey?
320
00:14:16,890 --> 00:14:19,324
"Very stressful" is the answer.
321
00:14:19,326 --> 00:14:21,159
Extremely stressful.
322
00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:22,794
And it doesn't get
any easier, you know?
323
00:14:22,796 --> 00:14:24,696
But we have a big joke
in our family, you know,
324
00:14:24,698 --> 00:14:27,332
I wanted to wrap them in bubble
wrap and keep them by me.
325
00:14:27,334 --> 00:14:28,867
And I still do.
326
00:14:28,869 --> 00:14:31,670
I still want both of my boys
home where I can see them.
327
00:14:31,672 --> 00:14:35,073
And you have to trust that
it works out, they're safe.
328
00:14:35,075 --> 00:14:37,909
You know, lots of praying,
lots of worrying.
329
00:14:37,911 --> 00:14:40,945
But yeah,
really stressful, melissa.
330
00:14:46,420 --> 00:14:50,322
Well... There is...
A clear record
331
00:14:50,324 --> 00:14:52,824
of how concerned I am.
332
00:14:52,826 --> 00:14:54,693
I am concerned about you,
and I am...
333
00:14:54,695 --> 00:14:56,261
And I'm telling you, I'm fine.
334
00:14:56,263 --> 00:14:57,896
I had heard
from the production crew
335
00:14:57,898 --> 00:15:00,265
that he was working too long,
he wasn't eating,
336
00:15:00,267 --> 00:15:03,335
he was drinking coke
and eating candy bars
337
00:15:03,337 --> 00:15:04,936
and not sleeping.
338
00:15:04,938 --> 00:15:06,905
The coffee is wearing off.
339
00:15:06,907 --> 00:15:08,473
You know, obviously,
340
00:15:08,475 --> 00:15:11,176
somebody tells you that
about your child,
341
00:15:11,178 --> 00:15:13,311
and you go find out
if he's okay.
342
00:15:13,313 --> 00:15:16,981
And that necessitated a trip up
to big nugget to check on him
343
00:15:16,983 --> 00:15:20,485
that I don't think pleased him
any more than it pleased me.
344
00:15:20,487 --> 00:15:22,887
It's time to take you home.
345
00:15:22,889 --> 00:15:24,556
Good luck.
346
00:15:24,558 --> 00:15:26,591
Don't do that.
347
00:15:26,593 --> 00:15:28,927
I was upset then,
348
00:15:28,929 --> 00:15:32,197
and I felt like
I had some control over him.
349
00:15:32,199 --> 00:15:33,798
You know, I could take him home.
He was 16.
350
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,135
You think
I can't shut this down?
351
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:38,570
You're wrong.
352
00:15:38,572 --> 00:15:39,971
You're wrong.
353
00:15:39,973 --> 00:15:41,940
I can shut this down.
354
00:15:45,912 --> 00:15:50,382
It's very easy to see where
parker gets his work ethic.
355
00:15:50,384 --> 00:15:52,584
It is exactly the same
as his dad,
356
00:15:52,586 --> 00:15:55,153
and his is exactly the same
as his dad.
357
00:15:55,155 --> 00:15:56,821
It's, like, in their dna.
358
00:15:56,823 --> 00:15:58,156
It's in the gene pool.
359
00:15:58,158 --> 00:16:02,193
And it's just part
of who they are.
360
00:16:04,598 --> 00:16:07,265
We have parker
join his parents...
361
00:16:07,267 --> 00:16:08,433
hi.
362
00:16:08,435 --> 00:16:09,667
Nice to see you,
nice to see you.
363
00:16:09,669 --> 00:16:10,835
To help answer a question
364
00:16:10,837 --> 00:16:13,071
that many viewers
have been asking.
365
00:16:13,073 --> 00:16:14,472
Question from bill k...
366
00:16:18,011 --> 00:16:19,244
Of course.
367
00:16:19,246 --> 00:16:21,479
I like the "nice haircut."
368
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:23,081
I have no comment.
369
00:16:24,084 --> 00:16:25,417
Parker knows me too well.
370
00:16:25,419 --> 00:16:26,885
I don't need to comment.
371
00:16:26,887 --> 00:16:28,686
This is for you.
I am not commenting.
372
00:16:28,688 --> 00:16:30,422
This is for you, dad.
373
00:16:30,424 --> 00:16:32,424
Yeah, yeah. Roger is...
374
00:16:32,426 --> 00:16:33,992
It's his independence,
375
00:16:33,994 --> 00:16:35,493
and if that's the way he wants
to show it, that's perfect.
376
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:36,661
It's true. Roger...
377
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:38,129
It's a lot worse,
it's a lot worse.
378
00:16:38,131 --> 00:16:40,131
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
379
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:42,467
Roger is a short-hair guy.
380
00:16:42,469 --> 00:16:47,071
Our boys... buzz cuts...
Right? Their whole life.
381
00:16:47,073 --> 00:16:48,406
Stop!
382
00:16:48,408 --> 00:16:51,476
He needs to wash it more,
condition it more,
383
00:16:51,478 --> 00:16:53,878
and cut it into a style.
384
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,347
A mullet is a style.
385
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:57,916
A mullet is a bad style.
386
00:16:59,152 --> 00:17:00,919
I don't know
why you have chosen this.
387
00:17:00,921 --> 00:17:02,487
I didn't choose it.
388
00:17:02,489 --> 00:17:03,955
Mullet is great.
389
00:17:03,957 --> 00:17:05,557
It's just... it's cool.
390
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:08,026
You're just hoping that my
rebellion ends with long hair,
391
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:09,694
is what dad is aiming for, here.
392
00:17:09,696 --> 00:17:11,062
Right, right, right, right.
393
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:20,405
Well, that's... that's a, um...
394
00:17:20,407 --> 00:17:23,007
Pretty sensitive topic for me.
395
00:17:23,009 --> 00:17:25,210
In fact, as I read it,
396
00:17:25,212 --> 00:17:28,646
it, um, it's making me
well up a little bit.
397
00:17:28,648 --> 00:17:31,149
First of all, I was blessed
with a wonderful...
398
00:17:31,151 --> 00:17:32,884
Wonderful father.
399
00:17:32,886 --> 00:17:36,521
And I was secondly blessed
because of the relationship
400
00:17:36,523 --> 00:17:40,258
between my father and parker.
401
00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:43,461
And to think that parker
had an opportunity
402
00:17:43,463 --> 00:17:47,599
to be with my dad
for the, gosh, 21 years...
403
00:17:47,601 --> 00:17:50,101
Going on 21 years-plus...
404
00:17:50,103 --> 00:17:53,771
Is unique
and a wonderful experience.
405
00:17:53,773 --> 00:17:58,276
I kind of like the role
when grandfathers play
406
00:17:58,278 --> 00:18:02,413
because it's rewarding,
and sometimes it's frustrating.
407
00:18:02,415 --> 00:18:05,083
As your father said to me,
408
00:18:05,085 --> 00:18:08,553
"dad, let me
make my own mistakes."
409
00:18:08,555 --> 00:18:12,957
and I think you've got
a lot of the same blood in you
410
00:18:12,959 --> 00:18:14,225
that he has.
411
00:18:14,227 --> 00:18:16,594
And I make
a lot of my own mistakes.
412
00:18:17,731 --> 00:18:19,497
Yeah, I mean,
I have a lot of friends
413
00:18:19,499 --> 00:18:20,932
that never got to meet
their grandfather.
414
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:22,200
Right.
415
00:18:22,202 --> 00:18:24,335
For me, whenever I start
feeling down about it,
416
00:18:24,337 --> 00:18:28,473
I just, like, "god, you're
pretty damn lucky to have that."
417
00:18:28,475 --> 00:18:29,974
love you.
418
00:18:29,976 --> 00:18:31,976
Love you, too.
419
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:39,551
Bye-bye.
420
00:18:39,553 --> 00:18:41,019
Bye, grandpa.
421
00:18:41,021 --> 00:18:42,420
Bye-bye.
422
00:18:42,422 --> 00:18:45,356
So, here's another
viewer question, from dave f.
423
00:18:49,229 --> 00:18:52,931
I have thought about this
for a long time.
424
00:18:52,933 --> 00:18:54,265
Two things.
425
00:18:54,267 --> 00:18:56,100
He always had purpose,
he always had a plan,
426
00:18:56,102 --> 00:19:00,038
he always had something he was
working toward... always.
427
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,142
And the second one was,
he became the loving, open,
428
00:19:04,144 --> 00:19:09,447
kinder, gentler,
more mellow person as he aged
429
00:19:09,449 --> 00:19:11,583
because he realized
what was important.
430
00:19:11,585 --> 00:19:12,984
The list is long.
431
00:19:12,986 --> 00:19:14,819
Work ethic...
You can talk about that.
432
00:19:14,821 --> 00:19:17,021
You can talk about
treatment of other people.
433
00:19:18,258 --> 00:19:19,390
You know,
you can talk about health...
434
00:19:19,392 --> 00:19:21,192
Your personal health
and well-being.
435
00:19:21,194 --> 00:19:22,427
I can say,
more than anything else,
436
00:19:22,429 --> 00:19:25,029
to put it all
into proper perspective,
437
00:19:25,031 --> 00:19:28,499
he helped make me
a more complete individual.
438
00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:32,303
The john that we got to see
in "gold rush"
439
00:19:32,305 --> 00:19:35,540
was the very best john...
440
00:19:35,542 --> 00:19:40,378
The culmination
of over 90 years of learning.
441
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:45,850
And this is what he learned...
The "I love you," "be safe,"
442
00:19:45,852 --> 00:19:48,720
"I'll miss you,"
"family is everything."
443
00:19:48,722 --> 00:19:50,254
give me a hug.
444
00:19:51,391 --> 00:19:52,991
Nice to see you.
445
00:19:52,993 --> 00:19:54,392
Well, I hope so.
446
00:19:55,462 --> 00:19:57,261
Parker,
all I got left is family.
447
00:19:57,263 --> 00:20:00,498
Up next, parker breaks the news
448
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:02,200
of his latest venture.
449
00:20:02,202 --> 00:20:03,701
I'm really anxious to see it.
450
00:20:03,703 --> 00:20:05,203
Like, I want to see it.
451
00:20:05,205 --> 00:20:08,539
And he and three friends
set out into the wilderness
452
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:10,174
at the worst time of year.
453
00:20:11,478 --> 00:20:13,945
We're not getting out of here
in this boat.
454
00:20:13,947 --> 00:20:16,781
We got to figure out an
alternate route fast.
455
00:20:16,783 --> 00:20:18,716
Winter is coming.
456
00:20:31,464 --> 00:20:34,565
Before parker schnabel
talks about his adventures
457
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:35,967
on the klondike trail,
458
00:20:35,969 --> 00:20:38,970
he and his parents
are taking viewer questions.
459
00:20:38,972 --> 00:20:41,572
Here's a question from sheila s.
460
00:20:45,945 --> 00:20:47,645
In looks, you bet.
461
00:20:47,647 --> 00:20:49,180
It shows.
462
00:20:49,182 --> 00:20:54,318
One thing that I can see
that's a real similarity
463
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,455
is they're both quick learns.
464
00:20:57,457 --> 00:20:59,857
My dad had the ability to...
465
00:20:59,859 --> 00:21:01,926
He was a well-read person,
466
00:21:01,928 --> 00:21:05,229
and he analyzed things quickly
467
00:21:05,231 --> 00:21:07,965
and he put the puzzle together,
468
00:21:07,967 --> 00:21:10,101
as far
as what makes things tick,
469
00:21:10,103 --> 00:21:13,004
very quickly,
and very imaginative person.
470
00:21:13,006 --> 00:21:15,373
And I see a lot of that
in parker.
471
00:21:18,845 --> 00:21:20,545
Inspired by
his pioneering grandfather,
472
00:21:20,547 --> 00:21:24,048
parker sets his sights
on a grueling challenge...
473
00:21:24,050 --> 00:21:28,319
Tackling the klondike trail at
the absolute worst time of year.
474
00:21:28,321 --> 00:21:29,687
You crazy fools.
475
00:21:29,689 --> 00:21:31,723
What you doing,
doing it this time of the year?
476
00:21:32,992 --> 00:21:35,126
When did I tell you guys
about this trek...
477
00:21:35,128 --> 00:21:36,861
The gold rush trail?
You... you...
478
00:21:36,863 --> 00:21:38,262
You were thinking about it.
479
00:21:38,264 --> 00:21:39,864
You mentioned it.
480
00:21:39,866 --> 00:21:41,632
Yeah, I'm pretty sure
it was just a casual,
481
00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:42,867
off-the-cuff remark, probably.
482
00:21:44,237 --> 00:21:46,304
And, you know,
that's how a lot of ideas die.
483
00:21:47,874 --> 00:21:50,074
It's just like they, you know,
wither away, and nobody...
484
00:21:50,076 --> 00:21:51,743
Like, "yeah, that's real funny."
485
00:21:51,745 --> 00:21:53,978
like, "good for you, parker.
Keep thinking."
486
00:21:54,981 --> 00:21:56,114
and then it actually happened.
487
00:21:56,116 --> 00:21:57,949
Right.
488
00:21:57,951 --> 00:22:00,284
When I first told you guys, I certainly
never thought it would happen.
489
00:22:00,286 --> 00:22:01,753
That it was really
gonna happen, yeah.
490
00:22:01,755 --> 00:22:03,054
Right. Sure.
491
00:22:03,056 --> 00:22:04,555
How many ideas
have I told you guys, you know?
492
00:22:04,557 --> 00:22:05,957
And we brushed it off, yeah.
493
00:22:05,959 --> 00:22:07,925
Right, and I thought,
"this is another really..."
494
00:22:07,927 --> 00:22:09,494
and of all the ones...
495
00:22:09,496 --> 00:22:10,995
I've had a lot of ones that
involve a lot of warm weather.
496
00:22:10,997 --> 00:22:12,396
And I really think
I screwed up...
497
00:22:12,398 --> 00:22:13,664
Screwed up, right.
498
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:15,466
Which ones worked out
and which ones didn't.
499
00:22:15,468 --> 00:22:18,035
The whole idea
of parker going on this trip,
500
00:22:18,037 --> 00:22:20,571
as it started,
I didn't think it would happen,
501
00:22:20,573 --> 00:22:22,039
so I didn't worry.
502
00:22:22,041 --> 00:22:27,879
And then, when it became closer
and closer to the reality
503
00:22:27,881 --> 00:22:32,984
and he started, you know,
filling up his backpack,
504
00:22:32,986 --> 00:22:34,552
I said,
"well, isn't there, like,
505
00:22:34,554 --> 00:22:36,621
a whole lot of water
you got to deal with?"
506
00:22:36,623 --> 00:22:37,688
and he goes, "yeah."
507
00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:41,025
I said, "so..."
508
00:22:41,027 --> 00:22:43,327
You been on the water a lot?"
509
00:22:43,329 --> 00:22:44,495
"no."
510
00:22:44,497 --> 00:22:46,898
"you worried about that?" "no."
511
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:48,599
and I thought, "wow."
512
00:22:48,601 --> 00:22:51,502
I'm not sure that he...
513
00:22:51,504 --> 00:22:56,040
"Is fully anticipating
all that's gonna happen."
514
00:22:56,042 --> 00:22:58,042
you know, the hiking?
515
00:22:58,044 --> 00:22:59,343
Okay.
516
00:22:59,345 --> 00:23:02,146
But all that time
on the water, cold...
517
00:23:02,148 --> 00:23:05,449
And so it's like I'm...
I'm really anxious to see it.
518
00:23:05,451 --> 00:23:07,218
Like, I want to see it.
519
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:15,860
To give us a preview
of their upcoming miniseries,
520
00:23:15,862 --> 00:23:17,695
"Parker's trail,"
521
00:23:17,697 --> 00:23:21,966
wilderness guide karla ann,
filmmaker james levelle,
522
00:23:21,968 --> 00:23:25,203
and gold miners rick ness
and parker schnabel
523
00:23:25,205 --> 00:23:27,438
are ready to talk about
their journey.
524
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,773
I'm stoked.
525
00:23:28,775 --> 00:23:31,209
Even if
they can't agree on much...
526
00:23:31,211 --> 00:23:32,510
I hate
all three of these people.
527
00:23:32,512 --> 00:23:33,845
I'm sick of their voices.
528
00:23:33,847 --> 00:23:36,180
They're in the studio
for one reason...
529
00:23:36,182 --> 00:23:38,115
Together again.
530
00:23:38,117 --> 00:23:39,350
The four idiots.
531
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,154
To give a behind-the-scenes look
532
00:23:43,156 --> 00:23:44,689
into their latest adventure...
533
00:23:44,691 --> 00:23:48,559
A punishing 600-mile journey
into the wilds of the klondike.
534
00:23:48,561 --> 00:23:50,228
Goodbye, haines.
535
00:23:50,230 --> 00:23:52,129
Whether we like it or not,
here we go.
536
00:23:52,131 --> 00:23:54,332
Each person brings
a different set of skills...
537
00:23:55,869 --> 00:24:00,004
And the group's success
hinges on thing... teamwork.
538
00:24:00,006 --> 00:24:01,539
We've got the best teamwork.
539
00:24:04,444 --> 00:24:06,377
It's silent.
540
00:24:06,379 --> 00:24:09,046
You know, the thing about
the four of us is, we're...
541
00:24:09,048 --> 00:24:12,083
All four of us are used to being
in control of the situation
542
00:24:12,085 --> 00:24:13,684
that we're in, right?
543
00:24:13,686 --> 00:24:15,052
Rick was running a gold mine.
544
00:24:15,054 --> 00:24:16,888
I'm running a gold mine.
545
00:24:16,890 --> 00:24:19,357
And you know, karla does hunts
546
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,025
and guides snowboarding
547
00:24:21,027 --> 00:24:24,595
and does a lot of stuff
that she is in control of.
548
00:24:24,597 --> 00:24:28,766
So, I did a lot of trips
with my family as a kid,
549
00:24:28,768 --> 00:24:30,701
and we were always
cooking over a fire
550
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:33,871
and doing multiday canoe trips
and camp trips.
551
00:24:33,873 --> 00:24:37,775
And, yeah, I've been working
in the bush in the yukon
552
00:24:37,777 --> 00:24:39,076
for the last seven years.
553
00:24:39,078 --> 00:24:41,545
I just originally wanted
to get away from the city
554
00:24:41,547 --> 00:24:43,281
and get back into the woods.
555
00:24:43,283 --> 00:24:46,284
I picked up a job as, like,
a wilderness guide
556
00:24:46,286 --> 00:24:48,786
and some jobs
doing construction.
557
00:24:48,788 --> 00:24:51,188
That's kind of
how I got tied up in parker.
558
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:53,457
I needed a couple months
of work,
559
00:24:53,459 --> 00:24:55,192
and the rock truck
was calling my name.
560
00:24:56,462 --> 00:24:58,529
I'm excited to get back.
561
00:24:58,531 --> 00:25:00,131
It's quiet there.
562
00:25:00,133 --> 00:25:01,632
And then same with james.
563
00:25:01,634 --> 00:25:05,603
James makes films and needs
to be in control as he can be.
564
00:25:05,605 --> 00:25:08,606
I'm a
filmmaker, and on this journey,
565
00:25:08,608 --> 00:25:10,374
it's my responsibility,
essentially,
566
00:25:10,376 --> 00:25:12,510
to capture the whole
crazy adventure on camera
567
00:25:12,512 --> 00:25:14,045
at the same time
that I've got...
568
00:25:14,047 --> 00:25:15,546
I'm actually
a part of it, as well.
569
00:25:15,548 --> 00:25:17,648
So it's a hell of a challenge,
570
00:25:17,650 --> 00:25:21,252
doing two jobs at the same
time, but I live for that.
571
00:25:21,254 --> 00:25:23,988
And so you put
all four of us together,
572
00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:26,657
and that's a lot
of personalities
573
00:25:26,659 --> 00:25:30,294
and that's a lot of people that
are used to being in control
574
00:25:30,296 --> 00:25:32,563
that...
Now that, you know, really,
575
00:25:32,565 --> 00:25:34,832
we all have to
share that, right?
576
00:25:34,834 --> 00:25:38,502
And we all have to
make decisions together,
577
00:25:38,504 --> 00:25:40,137
which I love.
578
00:25:41,975 --> 00:25:44,575
You know, there's a lot of reasons
why I wanted to do this trip.
579
00:25:44,577 --> 00:25:46,077
Let's do it.
580
00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:48,713
Something new and different
kind of challenge.
581
00:25:48,715 --> 00:25:50,681
And for me personally,
it's a big testament
582
00:25:50,683 --> 00:25:54,352
to my grandpa and what he did,
coming up to alaska.
583
00:25:54,354 --> 00:25:56,887
The adventure begins, boys.
584
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:58,155
Yeah.
585
00:25:58,157 --> 00:26:00,524
My great-grandfather
came from sweden
586
00:26:00,526 --> 00:26:02,560
and was a part of the gold rush.
587
00:26:02,562 --> 00:26:04,929
So I think, for me,
it was just...
588
00:26:04,931 --> 00:26:06,998
It's just in my blood.
589
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,232
And he biked there.
590
00:26:08,234 --> 00:26:10,434
Yeah, he did
a couple different trips.
591
00:26:10,436 --> 00:26:12,636
He biked, he tried sled dogs.
592
00:26:12,638 --> 00:26:14,271
Like, on the frozen river.
593
00:26:14,273 --> 00:26:16,974
Yeah, he did a couple
of different wild things, and...
594
00:26:16,976 --> 00:26:18,743
Don't downplay it so much.
595
00:26:18,745 --> 00:26:20,044
That's so awesome.
596
00:26:20,046 --> 00:26:21,645
Yeah, I know,
he was a pretty badass dude.
597
00:26:21,647 --> 00:26:24,515
You just can't
let the weather get to you.
598
00:26:24,517 --> 00:26:25,750
You can't.
599
00:26:25,752 --> 00:26:28,419
It sounded like a mad,
crazy, fantastic idea,
600
00:26:28,421 --> 00:26:30,488
and I was like,
"yeah, count me in."
601
00:26:30,490 --> 00:26:32,656
and then I heard nothing
for months,
602
00:26:32,658 --> 00:26:34,859
until suddenly,
there was a phone call.
603
00:26:34,861 --> 00:26:37,928
And it's like, "we're doing it,
so get on the plane."
604
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:40,564
What I'm worried about
is the weather.
605
00:26:40,566 --> 00:26:44,969
We are going
at the worst time of year
606
00:26:44,971 --> 00:26:50,741
and need to be prepared
for anything and everything.
607
00:26:50,743 --> 00:26:52,676
I've been saying for years now
that I need
608
00:26:52,678 --> 00:26:54,945
to get out of my comfort zone
and do some new things.
609
00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:57,048
So, that wasn't
what I was thinking about,
610
00:26:57,050 --> 00:26:58,382
is this kind of trip,
611
00:26:58,384 --> 00:27:00,451
but yeah, the opportunity
was there, so why not?
612
00:27:00,453 --> 00:27:01,585
It fits the bill.
613
00:27:01,587 --> 00:27:03,721
Further? How much
614
00:27:03,723 --> 00:27:04,855
shut up.
615
00:27:04,857 --> 00:27:06,157
I remember you saying
you were scared
616
00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:07,291
that we weren't
taking it serious.
617
00:27:07,293 --> 00:27:09,527
Totally. The whole... yeah.
618
00:27:10,930 --> 00:27:12,530
This is rick's prep.
619
00:27:12,532 --> 00:27:14,899
We're all unpacking
and repacking,
620
00:27:14,901 --> 00:27:16,767
and rick is sitting here
pounding beers.
621
00:27:16,769 --> 00:27:18,436
Yep.
622
00:27:18,438 --> 00:27:20,838
I'm just... I'm used to being
professional about it, like,
623
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,840
you know, like, "let's get
this done, and let's..."
624
00:27:22,842 --> 00:27:24,008
I think you know by now
625
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:25,543
that this is not
anything professional.
626
00:27:26,979 --> 00:27:28,813
Part of the experience
is not being prepared, right?
627
00:27:28,815 --> 00:27:33,017
The accountants that
quit their job 120 years ago
628
00:27:33,019 --> 00:27:35,586
to go be a part of the gold rush
629
00:27:35,588 --> 00:27:37,354
didn't spend months planning it.
630
00:27:37,356 --> 00:27:40,124
They're like, "that dude
has gold from way up there."
631
00:27:40,126 --> 00:27:41,325
I'm getting on a boat
and I'm going up there."
632
00:27:41,327 --> 00:27:42,793
yes.
633
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:43,861
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
634
00:27:43,863 --> 00:27:45,062
I knew it was gonna be cold,
635
00:27:45,064 --> 00:27:46,530
I knew it was gonna be tough.
636
00:27:46,532 --> 00:27:49,033
But every time I've been
filming in the cold before,
637
00:27:49,035 --> 00:27:51,402
I'd have a hotel
to go back to, usually,
638
00:27:51,404 --> 00:27:52,703
or a car you could warm up.
639
00:27:52,705 --> 00:27:54,972
This was gonna be...
640
00:27:54,974 --> 00:27:56,507
This was gonna be
something else.
641
00:27:56,509 --> 00:27:58,175
You know, no escape.
642
00:28:02,849 --> 00:28:04,915
Parker's idea is simple...
643
00:28:04,917 --> 00:28:06,350
To retrace the route
644
00:28:06,352 --> 00:28:09,153
taken by the original
klondike gold miners.
645
00:28:09,155 --> 00:28:13,390
In 1896,
a handful of prospectors
646
00:28:13,392 --> 00:28:16,694
in the remotest parts
of the klondike struck it rich.
647
00:28:16,696 --> 00:28:20,531
Word got to seattle
and san francisco,
648
00:28:20,533 --> 00:28:23,901
and after that,
it sparked this...
649
00:28:23,903 --> 00:28:25,970
The biggest gold rush
in history.
650
00:28:25,972 --> 00:28:28,539
And 100,000 people set off,
651
00:28:28,541 --> 00:28:31,175
and it was just, like, mayhem.
652
00:28:31,177 --> 00:28:33,777
Of the 100,000 that set off,
653
00:28:33,779 --> 00:28:36,380
I think only 30,000
made it to dawson city.
654
00:28:36,382 --> 00:28:37,748
The first to arrive
655
00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:40,784
would be able to stake out
the richest claims,
656
00:28:40,786 --> 00:28:43,954
but two out of every three
either died
657
00:28:43,956 --> 00:28:46,891
or gave up along the way.
658
00:28:46,893 --> 00:28:50,327
The fastest route
was also the roughest.
659
00:28:50,329 --> 00:28:53,164
It was straight over
a mountain range,
660
00:28:53,166 --> 00:28:55,166
through the chilkoot pass,
661
00:28:55,168 --> 00:28:59,970
then another 550 miles
of hiking and canoeing.
662
00:28:59,972 --> 00:29:02,840
My initial thought
once we started on this
663
00:29:02,842 --> 00:29:06,744
was that, "no matter
how seriously we take this",
664
00:29:06,746 --> 00:29:10,080
we're only gonna get a glimpse
at what it was really like
665
00:29:10,082 --> 00:29:11,482
for them back then"...
666
00:29:11,484 --> 00:29:12,883
Because they just...
667
00:29:12,885 --> 00:29:15,786
You know, the packs they had
weren't like our packs.
668
00:29:15,788 --> 00:29:18,189
You know, the clothes they wore
weren't like our clothes.
669
00:29:18,191 --> 00:29:21,759
And the winter that
that was all happening...
670
00:29:21,761 --> 00:29:26,397
The winter of '97...
I think it snowed like 35 feet.
671
00:29:26,399 --> 00:29:27,831
I think, for me especially,
672
00:29:27,833 --> 00:29:31,101
I was like, "holy...
These were some tough dudes."
673
00:29:31,103 --> 00:29:32,436
yeah. And women.
674
00:29:32,438 --> 00:29:33,504
Yeah.
675
00:29:33,506 --> 00:29:35,873
Hoo, hoo, hoo!
676
00:29:35,875 --> 00:29:40,744
Coming up, the four stampeders
reach the breaking point.
677
00:29:40,746 --> 00:29:42,947
Yeah, this is madness.
678
00:29:42,949 --> 00:29:45,449
Didn't realize that you were
gonna try to break your leg
679
00:29:45,451 --> 00:29:46,784
every step.
680
00:29:46,786 --> 00:29:49,420
And they come clean
about each other.
681
00:29:50,990 --> 00:29:53,123
Rick.
682
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:54,325
Deep, dark snores.
683
00:30:06,172 --> 00:30:10,574
Four friends embark on the
adventure of their lives.
684
00:30:10,576 --> 00:30:12,843
And now
we're getting a sneak peek
685
00:30:12,845 --> 00:30:14,912
into a groundbreaking tv event,
686
00:30:14,914 --> 00:30:17,481
inspired by parker's
grandpa john.
687
00:30:19,051 --> 00:30:20,551
Wicked.
688
00:30:20,553 --> 00:30:22,486
They retrace the footsteps
689
00:30:22,488 --> 00:30:24,822
of the klondike
gold rush miners.
690
00:30:24,824 --> 00:30:28,325
Unreal, the that these
old-timers went through.
691
00:30:33,466 --> 00:30:37,901
In 1897,
prospectors faced long odds,
692
00:30:37,903 --> 00:30:40,638
just like parker and his team.
693
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,874
A third or less
made it to dawson.
694
00:30:43,876 --> 00:30:45,309
That's not very good odds.
695
00:30:45,311 --> 00:30:47,311
But that means
a third did make it, too.
696
00:30:47,313 --> 00:30:49,346
The four are heading into
697
00:30:49,348 --> 00:30:52,616
one of the most hostile
environments on earth...
698
00:30:52,618 --> 00:30:56,553
A land of towering mountains
and freezing rivers.
699
00:30:56,555 --> 00:31:01,492
It's the domain of moose,
bears, and wolves,
700
00:31:01,494 --> 00:31:06,130
where temperatures plunge to 60
degrees below zero in winter.
701
00:31:06,132 --> 00:31:09,700
Probably my biggest concern
is somebody getting hurt,
702
00:31:09,702 --> 00:31:12,870
because that puts everything
in a dead stop.
703
00:31:12,872 --> 00:31:14,171
If somebody gets hurt,
704
00:31:14,173 --> 00:31:16,173
it's a whole
different ballgame, right?
705
00:31:17,276 --> 00:31:19,043
Don't go that way.
706
00:31:19,045 --> 00:31:20,978
This is so dangerous.
707
00:31:20,980 --> 00:31:23,614
And that's serious,
especially up there,
708
00:31:23,616 --> 00:31:25,082
where no matter how hard
709
00:31:25,084 --> 00:31:27,951
you wanted to get somebody
that was hurt out,
710
00:31:27,953 --> 00:31:29,086
you can't do it.
711
00:31:29,088 --> 00:31:30,921
A lot of times,
you just can't do it,
712
00:31:30,923 --> 00:31:33,123
and that's
a very serious concern,
713
00:31:33,125 --> 00:31:34,825
especially for me,
714
00:31:34,827 --> 00:31:38,495
because I feel like it's kind
of my responsibility, right?
715
00:31:38,497 --> 00:31:40,097
I take that on as...
716
00:31:40,099 --> 00:31:43,000
As something I did wrong,
if somebody got hurt.
717
00:31:43,002 --> 00:31:45,002
That's serious up there.
718
00:31:45,004 --> 00:31:48,505
You know, from hurt to killed
is pretty quick.
719
00:31:48,507 --> 00:31:51,875
The trek into
the klondike is treacherous,
720
00:31:51,877 --> 00:31:54,678
especially with winter
setting in.
721
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,681
And the four can't avoid
the deadliest stage
722
00:31:57,683 --> 00:32:01,118
of the entire trip...
The chilkoot pass.
723
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,823
The last half-mile is an almost
impossible 45-degree slope.
724
00:32:05,825 --> 00:32:09,193
In the gold rush,
this was where the dream
725
00:32:09,195 --> 00:32:11,395
of getting rich
hit an unyielding wall.
726
00:32:11,397 --> 00:32:15,766
Climber practically had to
crawl up the last stage,
727
00:32:15,768 --> 00:32:18,936
which they called
the golden stairs.
728
00:32:18,938 --> 00:32:21,205
Thousands gave up at this stage
729
00:32:21,207 --> 00:32:24,074
or died
trying to make it over the top.
730
00:32:24,076 --> 00:32:27,311
Sometimes the details...
I mean, the golden stairs,
731
00:32:27,313 --> 00:32:30,981
you know, it's the epic image
of the gold rush... right?
732
00:32:30,983 --> 00:32:35,853
That kind of line of ants making
its way up the 45-degree slope,
733
00:32:35,855 --> 00:32:37,588
lugging all their gear.
734
00:32:37,590 --> 00:32:38,956
I mean, it's iconic.
735
00:32:38,958 --> 00:32:40,457
It's crazy.
736
00:32:40,459 --> 00:32:42,726
I mean, I think about
the golden stairs,
737
00:32:42,728 --> 00:32:44,094
and I'm just like,
738
00:32:44,096 --> 00:32:46,497
"okay, that's where
I'm gonna tap out or die."
739
00:32:47,566 --> 00:32:49,466
'cause, I mean, I'm 255 pounds.
740
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:51,068
What business do I have
climbing a mountain,
741
00:32:51,070 --> 00:32:52,403
especially with a huge backpack
on my back?
742
00:32:52,405 --> 00:32:53,804
That's all I could think.
743
00:32:53,806 --> 00:32:55,706
You're a whole todd hoffman
with the backpack on.
744
00:32:55,708 --> 00:32:57,574
Yeah, might be.
745
00:32:57,576 --> 00:33:01,278
Not every challenge on the trail
is a matter of life and death.
746
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,181
Just getting along
can be a trial.
747
00:33:04,183 --> 00:33:06,984
It's gonna be
a long month, boys.
748
00:33:06,986 --> 00:33:10,687
So, we get these four friends
to explain what it's like
749
00:33:10,689 --> 00:33:13,257
to share a tent
in the frozen north.
750
00:33:15,561 --> 00:33:17,428
Smelled the worst?
751
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:18,395
Um...
752
00:33:18,397 --> 00:33:19,430
Parker.
753
00:33:19,432 --> 00:33:21,198
Parker was the smelliest.
754
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,100
Parker is the smelliest
on any trip,
755
00:33:23,102 --> 00:33:24,835
so that's an easy one.
756
00:33:24,837 --> 00:33:29,773
Nobody really stank, but
karla ripped a lot of farts.
757
00:33:32,278 --> 00:33:34,344
Rick,
without a shadow of a doubt.
758
00:33:34,346 --> 00:33:36,213
Rick is a snoring machine.
759
00:33:36,215 --> 00:33:38,215
- Hands down.
- No doubt?
760
00:33:38,217 --> 00:33:39,950
Yeah, deep, dark snores.
761
00:33:39,952 --> 00:33:41,585
Rick, no doubt.
762
00:33:43,189 --> 00:33:45,055
No-brainer right there.
763
00:33:45,057 --> 00:33:47,458
Karla farted about once
every 3 1/2 minutes.
764
00:33:49,161 --> 00:33:52,095
Karla farted nonstop.
765
00:33:52,097 --> 00:33:54,431
Karla had the worst gas,
by a long way, yeah.
766
00:33:54,433 --> 00:33:56,300
And giggled about it.
767
00:33:58,904 --> 00:34:00,671
Me.
768
00:34:00,673 --> 00:34:02,406
That's parker, easily.
769
00:34:02,408 --> 00:34:05,909
I think we all appreciated
the country-chic haircut
770
00:34:05,911 --> 00:34:08,979
he was given by karla
at the beginning of the trip.
771
00:34:08,981 --> 00:34:12,583
This is carlos' cuts...
5 minutes, 5 bucks.
772
00:34:12,585 --> 00:34:14,117
Holy cow.
773
00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:15,452
It sounds like you're
cutting my whole head off.
774
00:34:15,454 --> 00:34:17,855
It's called layering.
I'm layering.
775
00:34:17,857 --> 00:34:21,425
Yeah, it didn't do much
for his morning look.
776
00:34:22,628 --> 00:34:24,561
That's country chic. All right.
777
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:26,230
We all have great hair.
778
00:34:26,232 --> 00:34:27,998
You look good, buddy.
779
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,100
Tell me the truth.
Is it terrible?
780
00:34:31,904 --> 00:34:35,038
Coming up, we get
a sneak peek into the series
781
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,440
as the ice closes in...
782
00:34:36,442 --> 00:34:39,576
The current
is ripping under the shelf ice.
783
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:41,478
And the trek turns deadly.
784
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,981
Whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
785
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:58,762
On the trail,
communication is key.
786
00:34:58,764 --> 00:35:01,031
- Engage your butt, rick.
- Yeah.
787
00:35:01,033 --> 00:35:06,904
But things get confusing when
james speaks english english
788
00:35:06,906 --> 00:35:09,606
despite my bollocks ramblings.
789
00:35:09,608 --> 00:35:10,874
Bloody hell.
790
00:35:10,876 --> 00:35:14,378
Well, I have a habit
of speaking, I suppose,
791
00:35:14,380 --> 00:35:18,415
a language that the guys, um,
find slightly ridiculous.
792
00:35:20,019 --> 00:35:22,419
We have multiple meanings
for our wonderful words.
793
00:35:22,421 --> 00:35:27,057
A banger is not only an old car,
it is also a sausage, obviously.
794
00:35:27,059 --> 00:35:29,026
"Chuffed"?
795
00:35:29,028 --> 00:35:32,362
That's what I like to try and be
as much of the time as possible.
796
00:35:32,364 --> 00:35:35,966
It means
"happy, pleased, delighted."
797
00:35:35,968 --> 00:35:39,403
I'm super chuffed to be here,
filming with you guys right now.
798
00:35:39,405 --> 00:35:43,740
"Barmy"? "Mad," "completely
bonkers," like us lot.
799
00:35:43,742 --> 00:35:45,976
It's charming
for about five minutes.
800
00:35:45,978 --> 00:35:47,544
I mean,
I know what I'm talking about.
801
00:36:03,162 --> 00:36:04,695
For parker and rick,
802
00:36:04,697 --> 00:36:07,864
the mining season goes on right
up until the ground freezes.
803
00:36:07,866 --> 00:36:09,633
So when they finally get time
804
00:36:09,635 --> 00:36:12,069
to hit the trail
in their upcoming miniseries,
805
00:36:12,071 --> 00:36:13,737
it's already November.
806
00:36:13,739 --> 00:36:17,641
Crazy fools, what you doing,
doing it this time of the year?
807
00:36:17,643 --> 00:36:22,279
The weather will go
from bad to worse.
808
00:36:24,350 --> 00:36:26,316
We have a narrow window
with the weather.
809
00:36:26,318 --> 00:36:27,784
At this time of the year,
you know,
810
00:36:27,786 --> 00:36:29,386
the weather is unpredictable,
at best.
811
00:36:30,422 --> 00:36:31,922
You know,
it could go either way.
812
00:36:31,924 --> 00:36:34,224
It is not the time of year
for a canoe trip, essentially.
813
00:36:34,226 --> 00:36:35,292
No.
814
00:36:35,294 --> 00:36:36,727
Um...
815
00:36:36,729 --> 00:36:38,662
Never say "never."
816
00:36:38,664 --> 00:36:42,165
yeah, but, I mean, you know,
the freeze is coming.
817
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:45,168
You just have to push
as fast as you can
818
00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:47,237
because you just don't know
when the ice is gonna strike.
819
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,373
But when it does, you're dead.
It's all over.
820
00:36:49,375 --> 00:36:51,308
I had a pretty good
feeling we'd run into ice,
821
00:36:51,310 --> 00:36:52,876
but not this soon. This is bad.
822
00:36:52,878 --> 00:36:54,611
But, you know,
we've come this far,
823
00:36:54,613 --> 00:36:55,613
we got to keep going.
824
00:36:56,849 --> 00:36:58,415
We hike over a mountain,
825
00:36:58,417 --> 00:37:01,852
we paddle across
all them stupid lakes,
826
00:37:01,854 --> 00:37:05,656
we finally get some miles
started on the river,
827
00:37:05,658 --> 00:37:08,992
and we get this
828
00:37:10,562 --> 00:37:13,130
it's weird walking the trail
829
00:37:13,132 --> 00:37:17,067
and doing the boat trip
and floating down the river,
830
00:37:17,069 --> 00:37:20,570
and knowing just how many
people have done that
831
00:37:20,572 --> 00:37:21,672
and lost their lives.
832
00:37:21,674 --> 00:37:24,474
Yeah.
833
00:37:24,476 --> 00:37:27,678
It was a brutal thing
that they all went through.
834
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,047
And there's sections
of the lakes and the rivers
835
00:37:30,049 --> 00:37:31,348
and all that that are...
836
00:37:31,350 --> 00:37:35,519
You know, it's serious.
837
00:37:35,521 --> 00:37:38,188
Hundreds died along the route,
838
00:37:38,190 --> 00:37:41,825
buried in avalanches,
drowned in the rivers,
839
00:37:41,827 --> 00:37:45,629
and struck down by frostbite
and hypothermia.
840
00:37:45,631 --> 00:37:50,000
We asked dr. David townes, an
expert in adventure medicine,
841
00:37:50,002 --> 00:37:52,969
to explain what can happen
to the four friends
842
00:37:52,971 --> 00:37:55,105
on the klondike trail.
843
00:37:55,107 --> 00:37:56,840
I think as parker and his team
844
00:37:56,842 --> 00:37:59,710
retrace the route
of the klondike gold miners,
845
00:37:59,712 --> 00:38:02,212
there are quite a few dangers,
846
00:38:02,214 --> 00:38:06,850
the big ones being hypothermia,
because of the extreme cold.
847
00:38:06,852 --> 00:38:08,485
As the body starts to cool,
848
00:38:08,487 --> 00:38:10,954
the first reaction is,
everything sort of revs up.
849
00:38:10,956 --> 00:38:14,091
You can feel your heart
sort of thumping in your chest.
850
00:38:14,093 --> 00:38:16,626
And then, as you cool even
further, you start to shiver.
851
00:38:16,628 --> 00:38:18,829
And shivering is your body's way
of trying to generate heat.
852
00:38:18,831 --> 00:38:22,499
When you get down
into 88 degrees or so,
853
00:38:22,501 --> 00:38:24,034
shivering will stop.
854
00:38:24,036 --> 00:38:26,703
The body is no longer able
to shiver and generate heat.
855
00:38:26,705 --> 00:38:29,639
I really think that we should
get out of our cold gear
856
00:38:29,641 --> 00:38:31,007
and sit in our tents.
857
00:38:31,009 --> 00:38:33,210
The body gets down
to about 65 degrees,
858
00:38:33,212 --> 00:38:35,245
you die, essentially,
from cardiac arrest.
859
00:38:35,247 --> 00:38:38,715
Being wet and cold like this
for that long
860
00:38:38,717 --> 00:38:42,619
and sleeping in a wet tent
in a wet sleeping bag
861
00:38:42,621 --> 00:38:46,823
colder and colder,
as the temperature just gets
862
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:49,659
um, I don't know
if I got it in me.
863
00:38:49,661 --> 00:38:52,262
There's always the risk
of avalanches in that area.
864
00:38:52,264 --> 00:38:54,131
It's snowing up there right now,
865
00:38:54,133 --> 00:38:55,732
and fresh-snow avalanches
are the most dangerous kind.
866
00:38:55,734 --> 00:38:57,334
That's a little bit sobering.
867
00:38:57,336 --> 00:39:00,003
I am not gonna die on this trip.
868
00:39:01,273 --> 00:39:02,773
The water is very cold,
869
00:39:02,775 --> 00:39:04,341
so if you fall
in one of these rivers,
870
00:39:04,343 --> 00:39:07,911
your chance of drowning
is fairly significant.
871
00:39:07,913 --> 00:39:11,214
Not only do you have to worry
about submersion in water,
872
00:39:11,216 --> 00:39:14,818
but being hypothermic in that
cold changes your judgment.
873
00:39:14,820 --> 00:39:16,253
Your judgment is not as good.
874
00:39:17,623 --> 00:39:18,955
Brace yourselves!
875
00:39:18,957 --> 00:39:20,423
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
876
00:39:20,425 --> 00:39:22,859
Once you start
kind of losing it a bit,
877
00:39:22,861 --> 00:39:25,028
that's when things
get a bit dangerous
878
00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:27,464
and you make
the wrong decisions.
879
00:39:27,466 --> 00:39:29,733
And making exhausted decisions
880
00:39:29,735 --> 00:39:32,536
kind of leads
to trouble sometimes, so...
881
00:39:32,538 --> 00:39:33,937
You just gonna
leave us over there
882
00:39:33,939 --> 00:39:35,472
sitting on the beach
while you're supposed to...
883
00:39:35,474 --> 00:39:37,140
I just walked over here.
I just walked over here.
884
00:39:37,142 --> 00:39:38,408
Tried to find you guys.
885
00:39:38,410 --> 00:39:40,043
We're all over there!
Over where?
886
00:39:40,045 --> 00:39:41,378
Right where your boat is.
887
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:42,979
How the was I supposed to know?!
888
00:39:45,217 --> 00:39:48,185
You know, we know the stories
of the old-timers, you know?
889
00:39:48,187 --> 00:39:49,619
That's what you're up against.
890
00:39:49,621 --> 00:39:51,221
This is no-nonsense weather.
891
00:39:51,223 --> 00:39:52,489
This is serious winter.
892
00:39:52,491 --> 00:39:54,291
And you know it's coming.
893
00:39:54,293 --> 00:39:57,027
The question is,
"when is it coming?"
894
00:39:57,029 --> 00:39:59,629
and when it comes,
it's game over.
895
00:39:59,631 --> 00:40:01,498
We are not going
anywhere near that bank.
896
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:03,834
The current
is ripping under the shelf ice.
897
00:40:03,836 --> 00:40:05,602
Trying to get
pulled downstream... look out!
898
00:40:05,604 --> 00:40:07,437
Whoa! Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!
899
00:40:09,441 --> 00:40:12,843
As impossible
as the trek north will be,
900
00:40:12,845 --> 00:40:15,912
modern gear will be lighter,
warmer, and more waterproof
901
00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:17,881
than anything from the 1890s.
902
00:40:17,883 --> 00:40:20,417
So, before
next week's deadly journey,
903
00:40:20,419 --> 00:40:23,453
we're wrapping things up
on a lighter note...
904
00:40:23,455 --> 00:40:27,190
With a sampling of the original
stampeders' survival duds.
905
00:40:27,192 --> 00:40:28,491
Yeah, look at that.
906
00:40:28,493 --> 00:40:30,393
Rick, this could be for you...
This puppy.
907
00:40:30,395 --> 00:40:31,995
How do I look? Great.
908
00:40:31,997 --> 00:40:33,563
I'm not feeling these pants.
909
00:40:33,565 --> 00:40:35,966
All right, we need rick.
910
00:40:37,102 --> 00:40:38,768
Yeah.
911
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:40,670
All right.
912
00:40:45,777 --> 00:40:48,178
All right, who's up?
913
00:40:55,821 --> 00:40:57,487
I broke the cork.
914
00:41:14,206 --> 00:41:16,339
Inspired by parker's grandfather
915
00:41:16,341 --> 00:41:19,242
and all the pioneers
who came before them,
916
00:41:19,244 --> 00:41:23,413
four friends take on the
toughest journey of their lives.
917
00:41:23,415 --> 00:41:25,682
Yeah, this is madness.
918
00:41:25,684 --> 00:41:26,850
James, look out!
919
00:41:26,852 --> 00:41:30,020
It's a brutal 600 miles...
920
00:41:31,423 --> 00:41:32,822
I can't see.
921
00:41:32,824 --> 00:41:35,492
And winter is closing in.
922
00:41:35,494 --> 00:41:36,860
Rick, draw left! Rick, draw...
923
00:41:36,862 --> 00:41:38,461
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
924
00:41:38,463 --> 00:41:39,763
Whoa!
925
00:41:41,133 --> 00:41:43,733
We cannot get stuck here.
926
00:41:43,735 --> 00:41:45,035
There's no plan "b."
927
00:41:45,037 --> 00:41:47,570
Like so many others
who died or quit,
928
00:41:47,572 --> 00:41:48,972
will they come up short?
929
00:41:48,974 --> 00:41:50,707
Watch out, watch out!
930
00:41:50,709 --> 00:41:54,377
Or can they reach the end...
931
00:41:54,379 --> 00:41:57,180
Parker's trail"?
