Long Sleepless Nights
After a long, sleepless night of baiting and setting crab pots, the fishermen anxiously await the captain's call to begin hauling them in. What's in the first pot of the season as it's pulled onto the deck sets the mood for the crew, and the questions on everyone's mind are who's got crab and where are they fishing?Some boats are ""on the crab,"" while others are ""pulling blanks."" The early losers agonize over strategy, hoping to make up for lost catch, while the winners try to figure out how to keep the crab coming. Others just want to start fishing ... One boat has broken the bin boards in its storage tank, which must be fixed before they can pull in their first pot. Every minute spent repairing broken equipment costs the crew serious money, and the greenhorns learn quickly that there's no sympathy for fatigue.
There's something undeniably alluring about the idea of striking it rich. It's a universal dream and one that is explored in gripping detail in the TV series 'Gold Rush'. This thrilling reality show takes viewers into the lesser-known regions across Canada and United States, where teams of miners face daunting challenges as they dig for gold. With 15 seasons and over 291 episodes, this treasure trove of entertainment is a must-add to your BetaSeries account.
'Gold Rush' follows various family-run mining companies as they navigate the perilous world of placer gold mining. These fearless miners face numerous obstacles from equipment malfunctions to crew inexperience as they chase their golden dreams mostly in the Klondike region of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada and Alaska. The series was originally titled 'Gold Rush: Alaska', highlighting its initial focus on Porcupine Creek, Alaska.
The first season starts with a group of six men from Sandy, Oregon who had lost their jobs due to economic downturn. They decide to head north and invest their futures into prospecting for gold at Porcupine Creek. With little or no previous experience in placer gold mining, these greenhorns learn on the job, overcoming equipment breakdowns and personal conflicts along the way.
