I've watched the show since day 1. Parker has learned the knowledge needed in business from his grandpa. R.I.P. I don't think his girlfriend will be problematic for his operation. I think she'll be an asset. As he is 21 years old and can sew his oats at his operation run his operation the whole season without rushing to pack up camp, run to town to get laid.
As far as Todd Hoffman is concerned. He's a special kind of stupid. He takes a couple years to fiqure out how to mine the Klondike. When he finally hits over a 1000 ounces. He heads to a 3rd world country to mine nothing looses his ass. Goes back to the Klondike, then hits 2700 ounces. Now he's in oregon chasing a lost cause someone else lost their ass on.
My opinion about Todd is, he should read that book he claims to follow so well. The Bible talks about Greed plenty. Anyone who can dig up 3000 ounces of gold is plenty of money.
"Gold is where you find it"
Todd repeatedly. Found it in the klondike .
HE'S JUST PLAIN GREEDY. His enemy satin has him by the balls.
