Another awesome video, Frank. The best abandon mine exploration channel on KZbin. If discovery ever picked up your show, it would be the only reason I’d ever watch that channel.

Hello Frank hello Sharon A nice little Mine. A long time ago i have a Rat as a pet Very inteligend animals. The pictures Sharon took are very good she have an eye for good plctures . To put the pictures at the beginnig is a good thing Have a good weekend and stay healthy and safe Yours Frank Galetzka

Another great episode, I'm glad you finally found the Molly Gibson. It was also nice to see Max again, He was a great dog!

[@ralphpatrick3071]

Been watching since the beginning. Miss Max..

[@AdventuresRUs]

Great editing in this video Frank. Liked the back and forth between your camera and Sharon’s. It was nice seeing some older footage of Max, he seemed like he was one happy puppy out on adventures with you!

[@Love_rainy_days]

Thanks Frank and Sharron love your channel. Stay safe and have fun. Cheers 🧔

[@Eric_Tennant]

Frank you made your own show. Even better because you get to make the rules.

[@kevinbrennan2004]

I tuned out when i saw Max. Too painful Frank.

[@nudge2626]

You need to get yourself a rope bag! No more tangled ropes then. Clip it to your harness and unspool as you go. Mine holds my 100m rope too.

[@MildaGoesWild]

Any good ones you'd recommend?

[@ydnartitcomb1]

Always nice to see Max again.

[@barbararobinson7980]

Interesting to see both entrances from different perspectives. My heart was racing as I had visions of Frank coming in from the top which would disturb any rats and chase Sharon out the other end. Nice edit with your old footage, and a lovely memory of Max. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jacobfrayer3836]

I'm not sure if it was luck or just good planning, but the fog slowly rolling in behind you during the intro is badass. Thanks for another great explore Frank and Sharron!

Thanks 👍

Hi Frank/Sharon. Few weeks behind, watching now. Thanks 👍

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Welcome back!

My kind of mine. A nice easy beginner mine. That ropin' is too much like work. Plus, it's hard to rope and hold your beer at the same time. Cheers

[@Rossespinne]

I really don't mind wild rats but when I was training as a telecoms engineer, we had to carry a credit card sized card with us at all times detailing the symptoms of Weil's Disease, which can be contracted from coming into contact with rat pee - especially in water. We used to come across so massive rats when working in the subterranean man hole chambers. They weren't scared of us at all. Some, like in this video, were downright bold.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

We don't let them pee on us!

[@donmarion8808]

You desperately need a rope bag no more spaghetti, or stepping on the rope which is really bad for the rope. You stuff it in the top deploy it out the bottom hole . You can where it like a pack or hook it on your harness and deploy the rope from top of bag. Great videos thank you all.

Hi both of you

[@apkasidar633]

Not like the gross rats we have here in New York, that looks like a bushy tailed wood rat we rarely see in the Blue Mountains. Cute little silver thieves with the head of a horse and ears of a rabbit and tail like a squirrel. When camping in the Blue 2 years back i heard a jangling noise, caught one dragging my necklace i left outside when washing up for bed. I'd definitely put a metal detector over all their nests and make a video, or try trapping one at the lower level and put a gps mapping beacon on it to find new areas... especially since they are fascinated with things that are shiny. You'll need to leave an offline (cause no reception) down there to auto-sync when it's nearby through the days, would be tricky timing in-person

[@danny-li6io]

[@gravityzero2179]

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

Sharon and packrats don't mix, she is very vocal about them. If she saw these little critters, she would run out of the mine, over you. Max sure was tight buddies with you Frank.
