Very well done, in fact probably the most informative video i have seen on Ballarat.

Looks like I'm going to have to help you out a bit. Charles Ferge aka Seldom Seen Slim DID take a bath every Christmas. Then he showed up at the town Christmas event for good food, friends and drink.

The mud walls are much better for insulation as well. I miss exploring the California desert.

Thank you very much for the awesome videos. I just found your channel while searching Goler Wash. I think it was the 2nd video of this series you were mentioning a truck sitting in Ballarat. Is it the one with the gray hood at 23:30? Just wondering. Thanks again for the very nice series & Regards from Ody Slim

[@DayTripAdventure]

Enjoyed the video! I just made a video of Ballarat & DV. Thanks for sharing!

[@davidsmith31]

He's carrying a single action revolver. I wonder what brand and caliber. Probably Ruger.

[@thebige7302]

The namesake is after a town in australia which saw gold rush during the 1850s

[@craigconway4093]

6:00 I think that's referred to as swamp cooler.

[@raymndstannski3947]

QUESTION: I Know this man is deceased but im hoping his son or someone who knew him well would help me make a decision. Out of all his 49 er videos and explorations, If there was one that would be the most interesting to visit? which would it be? I would like to take a roadtrip from illinois but can only budget one trip. Were do you think is the most ? would it be death valley? Thanks

[@ahcapella]

Great stuff! How was the aerial footage achieved? Helicopter or drone?

[@EdwardCzajka]

DJI Phantom 2

[@StevenSchoolAlchemy]

Where is the old mining operations for Ballarat?

[@EdwardCzajka]

Ballarat was a mining town, but didn't have mining operations. There were many mining locations in the area though.

[@doddpower]

Any idea who owns the parcels in Ballarat?
