From all around the world To update us

On how they're doing In the face of the pandemic.

About their adventure Down under.

And for the first time ever,

Whoo!

First up, a significant update From young parker schnabel.

Captions paid for by Discovery communications

Oh, there he is.

-you cool with this? -definitely.

Dozer! Dozer doesn't like it,

How much does dozer weigh? I can't pick louis up.

He's 100 pounds.

Dozer's probably like 75.

He doesn't love the cameras As much as you do.

Parker, what's going on, man? Where are you?

I'm at camp.

Can you give me a little bit More detail on that?

Yeah, so a couple weeks ago,

Finished my quarantine In white horse,

Finished destroying My snow bikes,

And came up here To the mine site.

So, like, really, Not much has happened.

Not much has changed.

Just been piling snow

And getting generators And equipment going

As best we can.

It's still cold.

It's like 15 at night And 35, 40 in the day.

How's that working?

Yeah, it's not working Very well.

Right now it's only me And a mechanic up here,

And so it's getting to be A little bit difficult.

Like, we could use about 10 people or 15 people, not 2.

Yeah, we're having A bit of a hard time with it,

But we'll get there.

I mean, it's just normally By now we've spent, you know,

At least a half-million dollars, If not more, stripping.

And we haven't moved A yard of dirt yet

Since we've been here.

So that's That's problematic.

Now, when you actually do get Everybody up there, parker,

How are you planning on Keeping every everybody safe?

You know, all of the mining Operations around here

Are taking it pretty seriously,

Where everybody everybody's On a program of quarantines,

And as long as we maintain that

And the people around us Maintain that,

Then not much needs to change, Right?

We're careful about Who comes into camp,

What they're doing here, And where they've been.

But there's not very many cases In the klondike right now,

And there hasn't really been.

So as long as everybody, like, Respects the rules,

Then we'll be good.

So we're gonna talk to mitch A little bit later, parker.

He's still in oregon.

What's the plan If you can't

I mean, it's much trickier For someone in the states

To get to canada right now.

What's the plan if you don't Have someone like mitch?

I don't have one.

So you're screwed If you don't get mitch there,

Is the bottom line.

Mitch is my biggest concern Right now.

You know, he is an integral part Of our operation.

He really has held this place Together for a lot of years,

Especially at a time like this

Where there's a lot of Added issues,

One of the biggest ones being That our parts availability

Has just, like, Dropped completely off.

Yeah, I'm sure it's the same Case with brennan and doumitt

And a lot of the other Key guys, parker.

Look, it seems to me Like this is gonna be,

You know, an uphill battle For you guys.

Hopefully it all comes together The next couple weeks.

We'll stay in touch with you, Make sure we get latest updates.

But I'd like to bring in The "Parker's trail" crew now.

We've got a lot to talk about, A lot to dissect

From the big adventure Down under.

So let's bring in the gang.

Should I go put on A nice shirt or something?

I feel underdressed.

what is the point In starting now?

Tyler's dressed up.

No, I'm not. These are my pajamas.

-now I've got the unabomber. -parker, that looks ridiculous.

Says the girl With orange hair?

Do we need parker On this one?

All right. It looks like we got everyone.

I'm not sure How this is gonna go.

This could be An absolute train wreck.

But since we just wrapped up "Parker's trail,"

We're gonna talk to All of these guys.

Now, first and foremost, Tyler the hair.

It's orange, Suddenly orange.

I know. I know. I've had a little bit of

A mental breakdown in isolation, As you can see.

And this is the outcome.

What do you guys Think of it?

Parker, what do you think Of the red hair?

-careful. -yes.

I love it. It's great.

smart.

What about you guys?

I love tyler's hair.

-thank you. -yeah.

Thanks, boys.

All right, fred, Let's start with you.

We didn't hear from you the last Time we all touched base,

So how have you and the family Been handling all this madness?

It's actually opened my eyes A little bit.

I'm a professional Social distancer,

Been doing it for about 10 years now.

So, for me, This is actually kind of fun,

But family's going A little crazy.

I think I'm starting to realize

They need a little more Social interaction than I do.

So it's been It's been interesting.

Yeah, I think you and I Are in the same boat, fred.

So, but I hear that you and Your family are pretty strict

When it comes to all The guidelines out there.

Let's take a look.

In the lewis house,

We take fighting the coronavirus Seriously.

Can you pass me The remote?

Here in the gym, we working Hard to fight the coronavirus.

We're out here Practicing our ninja skills.

Let's go, emma.

Even in a pandemic, We got to eat.

Emma, can you pass me The salt, please?

thanks.

You can only go out For bare essentials,

You know, things that We absolutely need

Bread, water.

But when we do...

...We bring out all stops.

And now, fred, we asked you To shoot some stuff.

Now, we didn't think we were Gonna get that production value.

Your daughter's got Some skills there, huh?

Yeah. You know, I've been taking advantage

Of all this free time

And turning to A training camp,

So been working on our skills

And just kind of honing All of our skills together

And just having fun with it, You know?

Let's get back Into "Parker's trail."

You know, we just had the final Episode of this season air.

By far the best season I've ever seen.

Got a very good start To something

That could be a great thing.

Yeah, I mean, it definitely Was, like, a great adventure,

Ton of fun, great crew.

You know, you learn a lot About people and yourself

When you're in a place Like australia

And the conditions are tough.

Tickle him.

Tickle him.

Don't make me Pull this car over!

When you're, like, Confined with,

Well, these three and me,

For, like, Extended periods of time,

It's definitely very intense.

now, fred, Who would you say

Was the mvp of this trip?

'cause a lot had to Come together for it

To work as well as it did.

I think that's pretty easy, Actually.

I think tyler's Gonna get the mvp.

First she put up with The three of us.

And, second, I think the trip overall

Was a pretty huge success

Because of her coordination And her efforts.

So, yeah, tyler.

So, parker, tyler's...

I don't think tyler Was the mvp early on, right?

Tyler had a lot better Batting average than I do
