As a part of Team Parker, Bree was once definitely there to help the staff, which was short-staffed this season. Bree is helping Brennan Ruautt when it comes to working Big Red as his sole staff member. 

"I really enjoy working with Brennan," she stated on the show. "We play jokes on each other, give each other s--t, but we're friends and we get along." 

However, while Bree can be one in all the guys on the Yukon fields, she also loves to get dolled up every once in a while.

"I still go a little bit crazy sometimes but now I don't stay near as long," captioned a selfie of herself in a bit black get dressed. She additionally opened up about the cons of her intense process — especially when it comes to her appearance.

"So after half my hair fell out courtesy of the Yukon water and climate," she explained on the social media platform showing off new extensions. "I have been struggling with length for so long and losing so much so close to my goal length was devastating." 

We do not think hair loss or anything goes to prevent Bree from heading again to the Yukon to continue digging for gold along Parker Schnabel and Brennan.

"It's hard to eat, live, and work with the same people every day but these guys make it fun when you need a laugh and come together when s--t goes down," Bree shared. "Its been a long season but I'm so glad I was a part of it."

During Season 9 of Gold Rush, Bree joined Parker on his project to seize each ounce of gold from his land, leaving none behind for his nemesis Tony Beets. As expected, Bree was once feeling the power. 

"I'm barely keeping up as it is," she told Parker, as she works at a pace of a few bucket of pay dust into his plant, "Slucifer" each 80 seconds. "It's getting really hard to keep up at this pace. I've been doing it for days now. I'm going around at mach 20 trying to keep dirt on the belt, and it's just about impossible." 

But Bree is not the best young woman doing a little hard work in the Yukon. Gold Rush options other strong ladies conserving their own among the guys when it comes to operating heavy machinery — and often outdoing them.

There's Monica Beets, the daughter of Tony and Minnie Beets, who got to work the equipment at just 13 years old. 

"A typical day for me, jumping from machine to machine, making sure everyone's working and dumping in the right spot... just keeping everything going, " she told the Discovery Channel. "Bossing people around — best part of my job." 

She went on to provide an explanation for how rising up in the trade made her a stronger person. "I've had to grow up quicker, being around equipment, being around a lot of these older people," she added. "You don't want to be the young one, you don't want to be the immature." 

We have a feeling Bree and Monica can be the absolute best of buddies.
