[@Awsom47Merc]

You got it 😇 Hope it helps

[@chrisvercher4325]

I'm so sorry, maybe the next employment might show you that it was a blessing and your new job will change your life...... Always be ready for a blessing if if at the moment you don't know why or understand it.... God will always help his children....

[@dodgeguyz]

Good luck in the job search.

[@AdventuresWithKatieinMaine]

@chrisvercher4325 thank you more than i can express for those words n thoughts 🙏

[@AdventuresWithKatieinMaine]

@Awsom47Merc thank you i am trying my very best. its a bit hard struggling alone, my entire family and all my friends all i know is 7 hours south. im up here alone and have a permanent disability which prohibits many lines of work, so this is pretty devastating to me but lord willing there is a new door that will be better and that i wont lose my apt and car due to lack of work

[@georgegarton8736]

Love seeing Emi more in your videos, she adds some spark, beauty and love her giggle. She can tame the wild.

[@sforgus27]

Long or short it doesn’t really matter. The quality is what truly matters, and yours is always top notch!

[@goofusmaximusII]

Could not have said it better.

[@bobfleming3400]

I have been involved in moving many shovel components out of Marion, OH throughout my career. As a driver and fleet manager, I have moved 100 or more Bucyrus (now Caterpillar) pieces to various mines in western Canada. I don’t know if Fairbanks was connected to Bucyrus in the past, but my quick search showed that there is an establishment in Marion that pays tribute to their history, and that is the Shovel City Drinkery. This is not an endorsement or promotion of the establishment, just acknowledging their homage to the area’s past. Great video again, Emi and Dustin. Keep them coming please.

[@saffronherbs9730]

Thank you for the video, Dustin and Emi.

[@chriswadsworth7387]

Breakfast with Destination Adventure. I always look forward to Saturday mornings. Thank you from Oregon

[@stephscovill7221]

Coffee with Dustin and Emmy! Love it....and great episode as usual. Cant wait til next week. ❤

[@johnmclaren7059]

Good morning to all! Now that was a very interesting stop! My father in law worked up around Atlin back in the 70’s for a mining company and has mentioned he’d like to take a road trip to go and visit some of his old stomping grounds so I guess now that’s on the bucket list! Thanks for taking us along and can’t wait till next Saturday! Stay safe guys👍🇨🇦

[@johnmuhic7360]

Love these old places. I remember going to Barkerville back in '79. My aunt was visiting from Europe, so we toured from Van to Rupert in an RV, to show her the Province. We toured the historic town. Later in the day I was down at a creek, a seven year old miner, looking for gold. Sure enough, I found the mother-load. A small piece of quartz that fit in the palm of my hand, shot thru with a bolt of brilliance. That is when I developed my love for geology. I gave that rock to my aunt as a gift. A shiny little piece of Canada. I now have two gold pans, one for each hand, when I'm in the creek... ;) Keep up the good work, safe travels, cheers.

[@robina8048]

Yay! First one here! Always look forward to my Saturday mornings with you! ❤

[@Destination_Adventure]

😊 🍻

[@matthewsorensen2147]

Really like your style and enjoy every minute of it

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

*regardless* of how long, or short a Dustination Adventure video is, it is always worth watching.. KZbin has been recommending ancient Dustination Adventurers for me to watch, videos I have forgotten all about on this amazing journey with you.. Always a treat Dustin & Emi, so thank you

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you Mitch.

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

@@Destination_Adventure Its been a heck of a ride Dustin, I can't wait to see where we go in the future.

[@Jontae911]

Love your videos man. One of my favorite things to watch on Saturday mornings when I drink my coffee!

[@Destination_Adventure]

Much appreciated. 🍻

[@rustynail2205]

Coffee brewed and hitting play. Have a great weekend everybody and thanks for the adventures Dustin and Emi.

[@Wearespurstv]

One of my favorite channels

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you.

[@ghostknifeisland]

Thanks for another great video. It’s fun looking forward to these like how I looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons as a kid.

[@Destination_Adventure]

😊

[@normanmallory2055]

Neat history , I like this kind of exploration! Well filmed !

[@metaxaanabeer]

Those tailing piles are still full of gold due to inefficiencies of the dredge. Usually they are covered in forest duff but those are ripe for a fellow with a gold pan or two, maybe a small trommel, etc. When my boys were young we always carried gold pans when we went camping. We sold the gold to a local pawn shop, didn't get much as it wasn't cleaned but I do recall a $200 payday after one camping trip...good teaching moments for the kids mostly. Again, thanks for what you do, what you share, I appreciate the work that goes into each minute of video.

[@pierrotaitken]

thank you for brining me to your adventure i love nature keep it up and thank you again for the nice video merci

[@richardbeee]

Thanks!

[@JohnCouch-m4f]

Good morning and happy Saturday! I believe the bucket teeth may be Manganese. We used that in rock crushers for long lasting wear. Just a quick guess though and could be wrong. Great adventure once again Dustin, and it's nice to see Emi along with you even if that squirrel did give her a spook. Beautiful country and a nice day to be out finding some history. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@DannoM_]

It's so cool when you go find these pieces of history tucked away off the main path. It's always so fascinating to see what's left behind from decades ago. I also loved hearing Emmie's reactions in the background lol.

[@mamasinger49]

Some nice finds that weren't planned. I love that the writing is still legible on that old machine, amazing to see. Thank you for the great video as always.

[@michellebreau1124]

Another happy Saturday morning with Dustin and Emi! Great video as always!

[@comfortouch]

This so-called 'short' episode was chocked so full of stuff it felt long! Very cool adventure Dustin. TY for taking us along!

[@larrymiller2370]

Interesting to see all the old history & think about the people working there years ago then their just gone as time keeps on Truckin' like you to the next episode & i'll be waiting for the next one Thanks for posting so i can see all the stuff too

[@montyforster3370]

[@billreinhardt3684]

The old wood and paint is Amazing being that old

[@mrmj2397]

Lead. Lead based paint. At least that's what I could figure as to why it survived?

[@Henery6064]

As always, fascinating, great work ! Thanks 🙏

[@johnmccormick175]

Thanks for sharing Dustin what an amazing place,love places like this and the amazing history.Love your videos and looking forward to the next!

[@guyreynolds801]

Again thanks for the great memories, 1/ last weeks video was fantastic as I was up there in 1979 travelling from Whitehorse where I was working on the airport grounds installing water & storm systems. We travelled regularly to Atkin and hiked up 2 mountains Ruby & Idaho peak we saw lots of placer mines through out the area . Arlin hasn’t changed much since then. .

[@randybooth9192]

Atlin definitely seems like a nice little place to explore thanks for taking us along Dustin 🤘

[@sharlettedavidson81]

That was RAD…..Really amazing discovery Can’t wait to see you next both next weekend …..stay safe❤

[@countryboytrappedinthecity9473]

Had to go to second job earlier than usual this morning so didn't get to enjoy the adventure till now.. I enjoyed it as much with a cold beer as I usually do with a hot coffee. Another beauty featuring Atlin. By FAR the coolest town in BC. Thank you Dustin and Emi for sharing this with us. BTW Emi..... watch out for those killer squirrels! They'll take your toe off. 😁😆🤣😂

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Your an inspiration for the younger generation wanting to get out an start exploring. Keep up the amazing work

[@Destination_Adventure]

That’s very nice, thank you.

[@WheelchairTrvl]

Thanks again for the adventure and inspiration to continue to discover life. Safe travels

[@Destination_Adventure]

🍻

[@saltykraker]

I had a chance to visit Atlin this late spring. Nice people and the scenery is second to none. Thanks for the videos!!

[@xSheravenx]

I used to live in the Yukon, and made many trips to Atlin to escape the hustle and bustle of big city life in Whitehorse. LOL. Much like your Grandfather, Atlin became my favourite place too. It holds a special place in my heart and soul and I can't wait to return there. Thank you sooo much for sharing your Atlin adventure with us!❤

[@johnbarucky6424]

Thanks again for another great video!!

[@Nancy-xs9pm]

Another great adventure that you have taken us on. You mention your grandfather having been in Atlin and loving it. My husbands grandfather worked in Atlin building one of the hotels there and it is one if our favourite places that we have visited. Thank you for reminding us how beautiful it is around there.

[@SurvivalScoutOutdoors]

Awesome how the forest returns once again

[@tobyz.3452]

Great Video, thank you and Emi for posting! I am looking forward to your next episode. Bye now from the N.W. suburbs of Chicagoland. . . you take care. 🙂👍

[@user-vn6tg7zm6w]

Fascinating history thanks for asking locals and taking us along ❤

[@ruralprepper860]

I've been binge watching your channel for a couple weeks now. Your content and videography is outstanding. Thanks for all your efforts.BC is truly beautiful and I'm hoping to move there soon

[@Destination_Adventure]

That is much appreciated, thank you.

[@patsymartin3634]

Thank you for the in depth coverage of Bramptons ills.

[@ccdodge6359]

Thank you for the Adventure and sights

[@seabee73]

Another great adventure. Thanks

[@ginrobi01]

Short episode, long episode... makes no difference to me as long as I get to watch a new episode! 😁 Seriously, you always get me with the scenery, but seeing all that history that's just sitting out in the middle of nowhere. Can make your imagination run wild, wondering what and how the equipment was used for, how long it was used for and how long's it been abandoned. So cool to see! Thanks for taking us with you!

[@Destination_Adventure]

I guess it’s been sitting there since 1905. Crazy.

[@chuckh630]

Great adventure uncovering the past. Thanks for taking us along!

[@lucidrain9469]

great vidya Dustin! Can't wait for next weeks Part 2!!✌

[@briannave7326]

Another interesting episode, I like them under 30 minutes.

[@TinTin-nz2kt]

Another beauty to watch and eat some homemade crunch wraps to. the crack a Guinness afterword's. Thank you for showing us this hidden gem. You could of put a teaser for next week. Cheers stay safe have a good one Guys.

[@dconn74]

Cool! Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

[@bc30cal99]

Greetings from the sunny south Okanagan, thanks for letting us accompany you in your explorations once more. I very much enjoy the historic content and am always amazed at the size of the equipment that was packed into the back country with horses. Safe travels you two.

[@marcuswenger7668]

Thank you so much for another trek!😁

[@Nunyabiz906]

Love your channel.

[@JimD-f3l]

Thank you Emi and Dustin for sharing your adventures, at some point I would like you to post some of your and Emi’s recipes and cooking techniques

[@RussJokela]

Thanks for taking me on another adventure son

[@jeraldheinrich3589]

Some amazing finds,very interesting.

[@maxmillion4216]

That dredge and powerhouse was a great find.

[@richardbeee]

Another great adventure!😊

[@geoffthiessen646]

Thank you for letting us tag along great video

[@casedoumasr656]

Great explore before you talked about and found the Dredge i looked at it but 1 bucket not 30 or 50 i think this was a drag bucket some what a early drag bucket very early type great adventures 🏆

[@keithjohnstone8506]

Hey Dustin. Great video as usual. Have you ever considered having a video " overlay" expert using CGI technology to show us what these old buildings looked like in their heyday? I would love to see what that dredge and flumes looked like in their glory days🙂

[@GeocachingKeats94]

Really fascinating to see all that mining equipment. The tenacity of the human spirit is humbling, especially in those remote corners of the world. Really stoked to see your Atlin Lake episode. As a kid, I used to stare at maps of BC and wonder, "What is Atlin Lake like?" Then again, I still look at maps and have the same curiosity I had as a kid. 😄

[@massmopar9030]

Oh no, drone down!! Loved the preview shots at the end!

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

It’s amazing what those old time miners accomplished in the deep woods.

[@JimRO79]

another great adventure matey - Just a few cabins needing a little bit of Renovation and they could be up and running again in no time! :P Would love to have seen the Slucer being taken up the way there - that in itself must have been a job and a half!

[@mt0115]

Great episode again. 😎🍺☕️

[@nicksmith2203]

Gday, love the channel, I'm here in central otago New Zealand, where the gold dredge was invented by a Chinese gold miner/ business man named sew hoy. In the late 1800s, early 1900s there were dozens of them on our rivers, some as big as 3 story buildings.

[@kelsey809]

😊👍 Very cool!

[@pepawspostings9231]

You find so.e Amazing places and the history it tells makes me wonder, how difficult life was back then. But again they knew nothing different.

[@chucktheperson1063]

Looks like a dragline or steam shovel bucket type to me. Bucket teeth are AR (abrasion resistant) steel. The powerhouse square steel boxes you thought were coolers are transformers. They would have been filled with oil for cooling. Thanks for sharing.

[@daveforget3370]

always interresting to see what you find !! i am listening to you for more than 1 years now never miss one since !!! I am in northen quebec (baie-james) i seriously thing you should come here next season, you got the perfect rig for and i am suuuure you will loooove the place the people and the vibes !! A big thank you to share your adventure with us ✌

[@bogie2680]

Great video! I live in Marion, Ohio and was very surprised to see that the dredge was made in Marion. In the late 1800's and into the early 1900's, Marion was home to several steam shovel manufacturers. At one point, 90% of all large bucket steam shovels and drag lines were made in Marion. The crawlers that NASA uses to take rockets to the launch pad were manufactured by Marion Power Shovel.

[@wilbback8589]

Much Love and Many Blessings ~

[@jdwalker9718]

9:33 That blackened iron can be produced from the factory by exposing the metal to a certain bath after the pieces are forged. The reaction produces a black type of iron oxide. I worked on a historic part of an old canal system in central Ontario that was mainly built in the late 19th/early 20th century that had large forged iron parts with the same treatment. One of the tour guides once told me that the treatment produced a coating that prevented normal oxidization particularly when in contact with alkaline soil or water conditions.

[@ruckseed]

Want that TRUCK! Hey Emmi!

[@matthewtaylor1697]

Keep them coming Dustin

[@MonkeyWithAWrench]

whoever built the table outside of the cabin has some serious bragging rights. Not only did it outlive them, it did so outside in the far north!

[@MoreKellBell]

Haha I noticed that too😊

[@JamiroquaiBirnie-mc3qi]

People who brag want it in the butt😂

[@joanneachildoftheking4199]

Can’t wait for next week!

[@elizabethwiebe1494]

My husband and I are watching right now. He is a retired welder fabricator and Level 3 welding inspector. He suggests the material used to harden the teeth on the bucket is likely manganese.

[@kelownarealman]

Yeah manganese. Much harder steel to bite into hard rock and earth. Great episode. Keep it up bud

[@jdright1157]

OMG! Marion is only about an hour drive from where I live. That's amazing. I can't see it being transported that far! It had to have been built on site. Still, an intersting bit of history!! 😊

[@tonysutcliffe6268]

Loved it loved it loved it ❤
