I lost my job on Bering Sea Gold

I lost my job on Bering Sea Gold

In summer of 2023, for the first time in over a decade, the production company did not shoot Bering Sea Gold for Discovery. So I lost my job.

On top of losing my job I had to make an emergency $100,000 upgrade to the dredge and work with a completely inexperienced crew.

We decided it would be a huge shame for you to miss the highs, the lows, and the general chaos that ensued. So we picked up the camera and filmed the season our way.

    Commenting because this popped up on my recommended and I actually know why. I’ve been building a character for a Fallout based TTRPG and had my character spend a lot of time in Nome and Anchorage. This was all just for backstory stuff, he was a wandering robot and I just so happened to have him spend time in those places more than others. As such, I did a little bit of research about the areas and I think that ticked something into recommending this channel. Which, I just so happen to like this kind of content, think I watched shows on TV that had very similar premises(Making a living off the coast of Alaska looking for gold), real interesting stuff! Like the content so far 🙂 GL to y’all endeavors.

  12. @DavidCushman-b2l on October 28, 2024 at 8:02 pm

    Ur a sham and joke

  13. @DanielGeorge-c7t on October 28, 2024 at 8:03 pm

    Looks like good quality fab work. From the leaks I saw there appeared to be galvanic corrosion which is the weak link about aluminum in salt water an (electrolyte). Make sure your electrical is properly isolated from the hull, don’t use household electrical components since they crossover the white / neutral wire and be sure to use the right anodes instal a galvanic isolator, never put bronze or brass on aluminum, isolate connections to steel even stainless. Once again good call on the oversized pontoons and good fab work.

    Filling up the new pontoons with closed cell foam would eliminate them from filling up with water.

  16. @jessethebody955 on October 28, 2024 at 8:05 pm

    So BSG didn’t fire you there was just no filming so everyone “lost” their job? Right? At first on the show I want a big fan. Zelenskyy and your friendship, your wackadoodle father but as time went on you come into your own mining business. I was rooting for you and you bust your ass. Sorry to see you go but to be honest the shows at its end.

  17. @UncleJimmyOutWest on October 28, 2024 at 8:07 pm

    They’re shutting down the Hoffman’s, too.

  18. @GaryRoenickr on October 28, 2024 at 8:10 pm

    How does an overhaul cost $100,000? Are you kidding me, that dredge alone shouldn’t cost that much. It isn’t a yacht. Maybe those involved shouldn’t make so much per hour or they are billing you lawyer hours. Wow!

  19. @stephenr115 on October 28, 2024 at 8:14 pm

    Emily I’m sorry to learn you are no longer on the show. They lost an excellent person. On my TV you are the only person whose photo comes up at bottom of BSG show. I was thinking oh well maybe she sat out the winter? Will you be expanding in jewelry? Parker’s friend produces some nice rings. Wonder if Parker has an exclusive or whether Bruce could produce some rings for you (us). Regardless hope you still get ahold of Alaska Gear and they would be lucky to have you promote their product.

  20. @grahamforget4277 on October 28, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    That press brake is ridiculous.

  21. @mathewbrown4085 on October 28, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    Make another pontoon in the centre of your boat😊

  22. @bodge6886 on October 28, 2024 at 8:16 pm

    This is better than the program anyway👍

  23. @jgbelmont on October 28, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    You likely made more money from the show than the gold. Unfortunate.

  24. @MengGuoZhou on October 28, 2024 at 8:18 pm

    all fake

  25. @calebscott1100 on October 28, 2024 at 8:19 pm

    Good, i never liked you.

  26. @mathewbrown4085 on October 28, 2024 at 8:22 pm

    Two machines at once😊

  27. @bodge6886 on October 28, 2024 at 8:25 pm

    This is better than the program anyway👍

  28. @scottbruce5376 on October 28, 2024 at 8:25 pm

    Thank you!! I finally gave in and watched this episode. So disappointing that they are skipping a TV season but Emily to the rescue. Thank you @TheEmilyRiedel for producing this content and posting online. That on top of being a mom and working on the boat (plus who knows everything else us fans don’t see) I feel so fortunate and wish you and your team the best of luck. I take back all the things I’ve said (KIDDING) Lol, but seriously I am a big fan and going to make my family watch these episodes. Again, thank you!

  29. @Will-w7e on October 28, 2024 at 8:25 pm

    Good luck

    Good to see global warming in action

  31. @kevh3113 on October 28, 2024 at 8:29 pm

    First rule in business, investing in your kit comes before the food on your table, or you struggle forever. Just have a look at how reaper nation works ! Lol

  32. @mauriziosant1658 on October 28, 2024 at 8:29 pm

    Sorry för your lost😣.

  33. @gridjac on October 28, 2024 at 8:30 pm

    So, I’m late to the party. Just started watching Bering Sea Gold Season 18 and I noticed you weren’t there. Why are all of the other miners there and not you? If they skipped the summer season, didn’t everyone lose their jobs? They obviously got theirs back, why not you? You and Vernon were my favorites!

  34. @trinkladd on October 28, 2024 at 8:31 pm

    So your shows is basically you trying to look cute so guys do all the work for you and give u free or discounted products. Drinking is bad for you by the way. If you are not doing most of the work. Then u are not an entrepreneur or a boss. You are a female with privilege.

  35. @Bill-xx2yh on October 28, 2024 at 8:32 pm

    BATE

  36. @NathanT87 on October 28, 2024 at 8:34 pm

    Thank God you are here! This is a great way to keep up with you and your adventures. I just found your channel on Reddit looking for info on the show!

  37. @woodsmanforlife1677 on October 28, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    Emily would be better off pursuing her opera singer career!
    She did study in Vienna, after all!

  38. @FirstLast-v2z on October 28, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    Thanks for the links Emily I bought the new season and you are not there 🙁 you have been my favorite since the beginning and have inspired me in so many ways. It is so male now, lol. i hope you come back. But your videos are fantastic, I can’t wait to watch them all!

  39. @tammiecampbell6164 on October 28, 2024 at 8:37 pm

    I was under the impression you had lost the "Gold Rush" job!… Ok, be watching out for ya’ll!!! ☺️

  40. @RandPrint on October 28, 2024 at 8:38 pm

    I hope the show goes on, I’ve been watching you all for how many years now? 18? I wish I could just ‘pop in” gnome and have a beer with you and zeke

  41. @marke8743 on October 28, 2024 at 8:40 pm

    Why on earth dont you buy a new better boat for $100k?

  42. @JB-nq2cm on October 28, 2024 at 8:40 pm

    Huge fan of this

  43. @George-vx7oo on October 28, 2024 at 8:42 pm

    Emily is a 🔥🤤 hot Alaskan babe 😘

  44. @danielhaas9612 on October 28, 2024 at 8:42 pm

    Being a two bit dumpster, you’re lucky they made and carried you this long. Be thankful. They made you, without them… I can’t imagine what you would be. Probably working truck stops asking if they have found Jesus.

  45. @Casper_Brisbane on October 28, 2024 at 8:42 pm

    was wondering where u went too Emily – Glad to have found you

  46. @Rogers_Ranger on October 28, 2024 at 8:45 pm

    Fk Discovery Channel , when they fired Josh and Cornelia Marie i quit watching . Fkin producers are like lawyers…

  47. @timthompson8297 on October 28, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    What? No, I love the show. They can’t stop.

  48. @tealnexttimebond8859 on October 28, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    My favorite show on tv is Bering sea gold. I love it. Can’t wait for new ones. Hopefully Vern has years left and u too. But the Kelly’s are the show. Watching them screw up year after year is so fun to watch. Good
    Luck to you

  49. @PolyrhythmMusicLLC on October 28, 2024 at 8:52 pm

    I would LOVE to have Emily come on our podcast. We could definitely talk gold but what I’d really like is to talk music. We are a music channel but I’m a fan of the show and knowing that she’s a singer and music is her passion, I’d love to have her on. If anyone else would like to see a podcast where we deep dive into Emily’s love of music, give us a like. Until that day, thank you for making amazing content and being so open with your fans. Its greatly appreciated!
