| Synopsis |
| Remember all those loads of gear people had to haul over the Chilkoot Trail during the Gold Rush? It’s fair to say the Yukon was founded on elbow grease and determination. But has the growing "softness" of modern-day Yukoners, and Whitehorsians especially, started to undermine the Yukon’s reputation as a frontier of hard-working pioneers who put in incredible hours just to get by? Without the aid of government funding to help answer this burning question, Jesse and Mark resort to planning their next move in a Riverdale man cave. As they improvise a methodology, they eventually discover that completing their research—and introducing listeners to some of Yukon’s laziest specimens—won’t be as much work as they initially thought. |
