    The way the men treated Andria was disgraceful. She's a badass, and I want to be her friend.

    Andrea was great. To share her gold after the way she was treated was not period correct. When they cut her out, she would have done the same. Good for you. Was just up there on a cruise. The scale is something you have to see to really appreciate what the miners went through.

    Wow, they leave her machine behind despite promising to take it. And now cut her out? Their excuses stink. Bastards. Every hardship the men had after that was deserved. Felt zero sympathy for them. Amazingly, she worried about them and then shared her gold with them afterwards. They didn't deserve her friendship.

  • @Alyathaean
    @Alyathaean 4 месяца назад +46

    So let me get this right: they promised her to get the machine to Klondike, and they abandoned it. And she helped, cooked, etc, and got nothing. At least they should have reimburst the sewing machine. This is worth more than her weight in gold.

      Right? Because having clothes that don't fall off wouldn't help you survive the cold at all (sarcasm). Yet they still took the camera. Reactions in that period were mixed, but on a trek like this an expensive camera is more of a liability than an asset compared to the sewing machine.

      I'm an Irish American, the only way I could survive in the Yukon would be in this era, with the amenities of electricity, water, housing, food store, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, a driver, pilot, a staff of friends with the same, communication device, some entertainment tech, a physician, several cases of Irish Whiskey, Single Malt Scotch, Good Wine, Dark Chocolate, and a flight plan to the Southern USA.
      It is a most undesirable climate there, and my strengths are not in the outdoors.

      At the time of year that they’re there, yes, but during the winter… it’s not so bad on the warmer winter days, but when it drops down to -30 to -50, better hope that you have lots of firewood to burn and a place to hunker down. You also need to have enough food stocked up for the winter as well, obviously nothing is going to grow when it drops well below freezing, could possibly do some trapping in the winter, but hunting is undependable at the best of times. One of my biggest worries here in Saskatchewan, is an extended power outage during the winter, we are very dependent on the power grid and vehicles to keep us warm during the winter.

      That really wasn’t a woman’s world. There’s a good reason there were hardly any women there, and it was because most woman don’t have that fortitude. In that environment weight is everything. Of course they ditched the sewing machine. Women sewed by hand for millennia. So did a lot of these pioneer men, incidentally.

God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis amongs, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717238645 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~««♡~............^.^._.._.^_.^^._.^.^.^._............././..:.:..;."..",",",",",",:,:,:.:.:.:.:.. .......
