Ep 18. Miners vs. Beavers

In episode 18 of season 7 of Gold Rush: Alaska, titled "Miners vs. Beavers," tensions rise as the miners continue to battle their way through the harsh Alaskan conditions in pursuit of gold. With the season coming to a close, the pressure is on for all of them to hit their goals and make a profit.

Parker Schnabel and his crew are faced with a major challenge as they attempt to move their massive excavator across a raging river. They must use all of their skills and experience to make sure the equipment stays intact and doesn't get swept away by the current. Meanwhile, they continue to work on their final push to mine as much gold as possible before the winter freeze sets in.

Tony Beets also faces his own set of challenges as he tries to repair his dredge, which has been operating non-stop all season. He must figure out how to fix it quickly before any further damage is done. As the tensions continue to mount, Tony's crew is left to deal with the consequences of his temper when he discovers that they have forgotten to order a key part for the dredge.

Meanwhile, Todd Hoffman and his crew are forced to deal with an unexpected problem – a family of beavers who have built a dam in their water source. With their operations at risk of being shut down, they have no choice but to take action and try to remove the beavers from the area. But it's not easy, as the beavers prove to be formidable opponents who will stop at nothing to protect their home.

As the miners battle against the harsh conditions, they face a number of setbacks and challenges that threaten to derail their efforts. The race to find gold becomes even more intense as the season draws to a close, and only time will tell who will come out on top in the end. The stakes are high, and the pressure is intense, but these miners are determined to do whatever it takes to strike it rich and achieve their dreams in the Alaskan wilderness.
