@@kevinsingel5948 Yeah I just have a 20 and 30 right now I've always thought a 50 and 80 would be helpful as well. Thanks for the advice!

When you mine at Fairplay do you stick to the lower creek bed material or play the tailings pile lottery?

@@DeweyPierce76I’ve done both…the tailings piles are often better

@@kevinsingel5948 I usually wet classify the material so that isn't an issue. I was just trying to do too much in a short time that day, since we had other plans to get to.

@@kevinsingel5948 Thanks Kevin! I purchased it about 5 years ago and love checking out new places in it. Thanks for all the work you put into it. I live in Omaha and use the book like an adventure guide when we plan trips up into the mountains. It's an extremely helpful resource for the hobby prospectors out there.

@@DeweyPierce76sweet! Have you thought about getting the second book too?

@@kevinsingel7213 I looked for the second book a couple of different places when we were out there but they were sold out. I'll have to just order it online.

@@DeweyPierce76interesting. Do you remember where you looked? Also since you live outside of CO, I can mail it to you if you’d like!?!

@@kevinsingel7213 I stayed up in Keystone for 2 nights and looked at a couple outdoors type stores up there. Not sure what the names were. We were just walking through the little shops on the resort. I was going to pick it up at High Alpine Sports when I bought the mining permit for Fairplay. The owner said they didn't have them there either so I figured I could just order it online. If you'd like to mail me one that would be awesome, just let me know how to pay ya for it! Thanks again!

@@douglasbrown4775 I'll check it out this evening. Thanks for the tip!

@@Mattytube18 Yeah they had a ton of snow up there this winter. Levels are dropping by the day though.

@@WildKatProspecting Yeah I wish I would have had a few days to spend there! It feels like it has a ton of potential!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

@@MetallyCorrupted Agreed! I planned this trip to a new area to do some exploring and see some new places. I definitely could have found more gold in some old places, but the new adventure was better!

@@GSProspecting Thanks bud! It was a beautiful day in the river! Stay Golden!

Great tip!

I’ll be trying it this year! We shall see how it goes!

That's awesome. Are you going to hunt that area this fall?

@@DeweyPierce76 yeah hopefully this September we shall see how it goes and if I pull a tag!

Thanks! I really like how it turned out. It's definitely a cozy home away from home!

So fast?

I really love it also. I stayed in it last night and it got down to 23° F. Stayed nice and cozy inside!

I enjoyed running the dirt through my sluice! It was a good way to test equipment!

Yes it is! I plan on going back in the future!

Thanks!

Thanks again for kind words! I hope you enjoyed the videos!

Thanks!

Thanks! I've stayed in it a few nights so far and everything is working out great so far.

Congrats! I love mine, the versatility is really nice. Let me know how much gold you find!

Thanks Sluiceboy! I really enjoyed your paydirt and definitely plan to sample more in the future! Keep up the awesome work!

@@DeweyPierce76 thank you brother means alot! We enjoyed watching I shared with the whole team!

Thanks! Hope you have an awesome day!

Thanks for the tip 👍

If I lived that close I'd be a weekend regular there! 😂

@@DeweyPierce76 😂 I find great gold in my back yard though!

Lucky!

We live down the road by the Carp & Catfish lakes, Vein Mtn.

I have possession of A wonderful amount of fine and nugget karat$ , Mason jars full.. couple gallon jugs full.

Yeah there was a lot of fine gold in the Black sands. I actually sent all the gold and concentrates home with our family that joined us there. I figured it would help the kids practice their panning at home!

Yeah I've only been there once but plan to go back in the future to see the progress! 😊

Thanks Flexx-r! I try to practice whenever I get a chance!

Thanks Bud! It was an awesome bag of paydirt! I especially like the copper nuggets!

Thanks GS! Hope you have a great week!

Thanks! It's not really that hard once you practice a little!

If I lived closer to Lucky Strike I'd be a regular there for sure!

Thanks! I think it turned out pretty nice!

I did that...I set it up in my backyard and burned it for about 30 hours till the paint fumes went away.

Thanks for the tip though!

Good man. There are many that don't burn it first (most men don't read the instructions, because we are men!) And that's why we don't read the instructions)! @@DeweyPierce76

The first thing you should have done was watch the video before commenting.

I did add wood to it quite often, to get everything in the trailer warmed up, since it started at -16°. After you get the coals going and everything warmed up you only have to fill it with wood every couple of hours to keep it warmed up.

I can believe that! I was a little worried about the initial investment, since it's not cheap. It's definitely exceeded my expectations! I love how cozy it makes the space feel.

Are you happy with the Cub in the RV ? I’m torn between Grizzly vs Cub for our RV.

@davidfrise1728 I'm happy with it. I moved my furnace thermostat to bathroom so it would be unaffected - set at a lower temp, it will still run when I need heat below the floor for lines and tanks - while I enjoy the heated living area. If you want to cook on it, the Grizzly will give you more space. Regardless, I'm always on the lookout for very small pots, etc., and now have a good selection. The pieces of wood that can go in can be slightly larger in a Grizzly. I use an Eco-Fan, which sits on top to help push the hot air forward. I bought a "baby" chainsaw (12v Milwaukee cordless) to cut firewood to size more easily. My preference is for good quality compressed sawdust logs which I can just bang on the floor to break to right length. Cub will give you plenty of heat. Grizzly has advantage of larger fuel capacity so not refilling as often. Higher price up front. Regardless of size of unit, chimney connection is only 3". I got an adapter to 4" and got double-walled 4" stove piping - extra safety. Also, stove pipe thermometer for double-walled. I cut a 6" chimney-sweeping "broom" down to fit 4" and it works well. Hope this info helps.

I've been adding a bit of ash to the towel when I clean the glass also. That's a great tip that I forgot to add to the video. Thanks for sharing it with everyone!

Thanks Brad! I'll fix that when I get a chance!

i like the trailer great hideaway@@DeweyPierce76

Yeah, having a place to shower on hunting trips was a must have.

Thanks Linda! I'm excited to get it out in the woods!

Thanks Paul! I really wanted it to feel as open as it could, even though it's a small space.

Thanks 1Man! I watched the videos of your 6x12 cargo conversion and it turned out great! I might be stealing a few of your ideas if I build another one in the future!

@@DeweyPierce76 And I some of yours! The beauty of KZbin.....cheers

Thanks!

Thanks Eddie!
