Tony Beets Makes His Old Mobile Trommel Operational Again! | Gold Rush 

Well it gets too cold and everything ices up so they have to leave the Klondike as all àreas become inaccessible, Dude seriously, you don't know what you are talking abóut. When the winter sets in and it snows , nobody can get through 12 plus feet of snow and ice to acçess the machines that néed to be worked on, So they must use every moment of the warmer weather to sluice sluice sluice

Its mind blowing they dont have a juge heated shop and employ trade graduates to work all winter. A shop do minium. With cranes, walk under bays. Service and clean everything they have. Make a spin off show on each crews off season maintenance, sale and purchases.

His revenue might be in the millions, but so are his costs, equipment, fuel, staff etc are also in the millions. Creating a shop large enough for machine maintenance is also massively expensive and requires a massive amount of land, large drainage system, massive power supply which has to be approved by the council, why do you think most of the miners offices/accommodations are in demountable/mobile units, the part you don’t see on this show is that they are meant to rehab the land once they complete mining, it’s apart of getting their licence, they have to be able to rehabilitate the land back to or as close to when they first got there. They actually have to set aside funds by law to go towards that, which is also in the millions, part of the reason most avoid any hard infrastructures.

Too small. it would take days to jury rig it to the thing and it would only last maybe a few hours.
