gold rush alaska question

[snootbiscuit]

very interesting show! was watching 2/21 shows and my question is this= watching jack drive that hi ho out of the hole with the boom up the hill looks kind of sketchy!! wouldnt it be better to back the thing up the hill in case it starts to tip you could save yourself and machine!! if need be, you could also push yourself up the hill ! maybe there's a logical answer??

He was pulling himself up the hill. You have more power pulling than pushing. Plus it all so lifts the tracks to help climb over instead of push into what you are trying clear.

totally agree. They bring in experts for info after they burn thru $250,000. Not to bright. The wave machine would work if they spent the time getting it perfect, it is basically a miniture version of the bigger set up.. The magnet machine can't catch it all. they sure did not get much gold for a season but dug one big hole. Who would of back filled the original hole. That cost big money to move all that dirt again to get to this so called glory hole. If they are off a few yards they could miss the mother lode. I know that the green rocks are important.
