ABANDONED GHOST TOWN!! Nivloc, Nevada

Hi Guys!
This week I go on a road trip to Central Nevada in search of an old ghost town and mining camp called Nivloc, Nevada. This old ghost town has a old train trestle, old homes and warehouse and the old mine itself! I had a great road trip out to the desert and enjoyed exploring the Nevada desert!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this episode. Reminds me of my childhood summer visits to Colorado, where my cousins took me up into the deserted mining towns and we played in all the crumbling miner's houses. We went into the mines too, but not far, climbed up the slag heaps and had a wonderful time. Back then, you could buy the shacks for just the taxes owed on them... which might be like... $400. There were old mining offices with the huge old mine's record books still therem, pages blowing back and forth in the wind. Thanks for the memory journey!

Carbide was used for light. They would drip water onto the carbide, it then emits flammable gas ( acetylene, had to look it up. haha) which was lit for light. A flame like an oil lantern. Old cars used to have similar lights before halogens became cheap and abundent.

[@basecampchris]

Very good! Thank's for the info!

[@andyg4082]

Great Chris very informative. I laughed at the end Was great. Good old Clint Eastwood one of my favourite actors. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍

[@basecampchris]

Most kids today wouldn’t know that the container with the paperwork in it is a film canister . :)

[@murphragous]

Wait, its not a weed jar?

[@basecampchris]

Yeah, remember taking those into the drug store to be processed. You never really knew what you were going to get! ( Usually 21 bad pics and 3 good ones! )

Always enjoy going on a adventure with u Chris 🥰🏕️🥾

"Go ahead, make my lunch" - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA BURSTED out in laughter I did! Neat place! I love too see these old buildings. My family used to go camping at the Kern River- Kernvile/Lake Isabella area. I remember this old town called Onyx (you could throw a rock from end to end -it was so small) There was this old abandoned General Store and I remember the cupboards in there being so high as to almost hit the ceiling. Of course being a kid everything seemed tall and bigger, I remember asking my parents if Paul Bunyan came here to shop? 🤣🥾

[@michaelshannon7199]

I enjoyed your video. Don't think that I'd be looking around much, because of the rattle snakes. Did you see any?

[@maggsbufton1969]

I wonder if bear spray would work on rattlesnakes? How about a whistle?

[@kevbots7483]

Getting some real Huell Howser vibes with this one, it just feels authentic. Awesome stuff!

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Kevin! Yeah...it's out there. ( collecting dust and time! )

[@jessierobbins6308]

I like the history that you tell about the place so keep it up!

[@basecampchris]

Thanks, will do!

Cool looking lizard!

[@carlray4809]

MOST INTERESTING VIDEO CHRIS. I WONDER HOW THEY MIXED ALL THAT CONCRETE ?

[@jws5984]

That's so cool that the old core samples are still there! I'd love to visit that part of the world. Although America so developed, the vastness of the wilderness makes it seem like it still has some mystery and magic in it. Thanks for the video Chris

[@basecampchris]

Your welcome...yes all that stuff was just sitting there ...I loved the old bridge!

[@donnamaracle2412]

Love the history you share bout the places you visit❤

[@mhm-1957]

Love your vids!

[@ryneobrien1]

Are you ever going to do full Camping videos again? The video you did where you stayed at the abandoned drive in was one of my all time favorite stealth camping videos

[@carlray4809]

THAT LID WAS A CONTAINER OF CARBIDE , THE MINERS USED CARBIDE LAMPS THAT DRIPPED WATER ON THE CARBIDE ROCKS TO PRODUCE FLAMMABLE GAS. I USED ONE IN THE EARLY 70'S TO GO CAVING 🙂

[@laurajunerose]

channeling Clint Eastwood....Epic!

[@maggsbufton1969]

The construction of these buildings is really well done. They don’t build anything so we’ll anymore; this was craftsmanship made TO LAST. Imagine what our world would look like if it was still important to build things so they would stand and function for centuries. rather 2. Years or 20 years? They say we make too much pollution, well you know why? Because our society has been structured to a Chinese disposable consumerism economy. Cheap is EXPENSIVE in the long run; buy good leather boots for twice the price and you will still have them 50+ years later if you take care of them; plastic boots don’t even last a season. . My toaster built in USA fifty years ago, still works My house is over 80 years old, strong and still standing.

[@char8059]

Very interesting video! So many core samples! All left out there in the desert. If those buildings could speak, what stories they could tell of the miners' day to day lives working underground.

Exploring old ghost towns is fun! Years ago my children and I explored Dun

[@lindaertel7558]

Dunsmuir. It used to be a gambling town. We had to walk on a raised railroad track which was above the Bay.

[@peterdiebel7372]

[@Lugeix]

3:59 is a storage for sample. That stuff on the ground is core samples.

[@carlray4809]

THAT HOUSE WAS UPGRADED , ( DRY WALL , ELECTRIC , SHINGLE LOOKING SIDING APROX. 1950'S ) IM BETTING THAT HOUSE HAS A FEW STORIES TO TELL.
