Ten Things I Learned from Watching Klondike

1. Wearing a hat in the Yukon in the middle of winter when it's twenty below zero is apparently not necessary.
2. Even though statistics over the past one hundred years show there is all but no evidence that wolves attack human beings, those statistics are wrong.
3. If you're the main villain in Dawson, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want and never have to worry about getting killed (at least as long as you stay within the town limits).
4. The only employment opportunities for women within the Continental U.S. in 1897 were to be either a mid-wife or a domestic.
5. If you are Jewish, it's a great idea to wear your pendant with the Star of David on the OUTSIDE of your clothes when entering a frontier environment that's most likely to be swarming with anti-Semites.
6. We should not let all of those old photos fool us -- women in Dawson at that time DID have professional make up artists and hair stylists on hand at all times.
7. Fast beat Zydeco musical performances were the primary venues in Dawson City saloons at that time.
8. Canadian Mounties have been trained that after hearing a gun shot the best tactic is to run out and see where it's coming from, and there is no need to take cover.
9. Even though your best friend just got sniped outside the camp tent, it's perfectly fine to go and sit out there on any given night afterwards with no worries of it happening to you as well.
10. When crossing a frozen lake the best thing to do is go jump and down on it with a coat full of gold bars.
