[@jackking5567]

Random wooden supports of little use are called tell tales. A miner went home and on their return if the support was bent/cracking then the roof was slowly dropping. If they returned and the support was loose/fell over then the floor was dropping.

[@lavapix]

That's why you leave your own personal markers so you're sure if you backtracked or not. Also, if you're going to exit the same way you enter, stash water. I always tell the emergency contact person to give me 24 hours before calling for help. That mine appears to be very well marked so, it's pretty easy finding your way. I've been exploring and mapping old lava tubes for 28 years.

[@sandakureva]

I would personally want both chalk AND Chem lights.

[@Ironwind1972]

I worked in a mine. The arrows aren't for the exit, its the direction the air is flowing. So in an emergency, you'd want to follow them backwards towards fresh air. Also, black mold is very prevalent in mines.

[@LakeNipissing]

Once again, your O2 monitor should have been alarming below 19.5% concentration. Normal atmospheric gas concentrations are 78% Nitrogen, 20.9% Oxygen, 0.9% Argon, with the other 0.2% being other gases. Beyond the concern of hypoxia, if the oxygen content was only 18.8% in the mine when you checked the monitor, a serious question would be what gases were you inhaling which had displaced the oxygen?

[@katharinew4218]

Yeah I wish they would take the health and safety side of things more seriously

[@Legotruck82]

I think they underestimate how quickly you can be overcome by fumes, and that other people have died trying to rescue people who have been overcome by fumes, not realizing what has happened, and thinking they just collapsed.

[@xdarrenx]

There's this certain map type u can use, which is very efficient if escape route is priority. I learn it at scouts xd It works like this, u draw a line top to bottom, and at every intersection (node), u draw a symbol. I will try to do example here; *end* | - 0 (roundabout, with a left turn) = node 5 | + (means crossing) = node 4 | \|/ (1 way left, 1 way right) = node 3 | |/_ (means 2 ways going right, draw as many lines as needed from center) = node 2 | |/ (means 1 way going right) = node 1 | *start* At all the junctions u create just an arrow on top of the route u took( like so |->). Here's the fun part; Once u go out flip the map bottom to top and point the arrow towards you on each Node, as if u are the north to a compass, and the map will overlay in front of your eyes the way to go, just point it towards you and follow the straight line all the way home. The best thing about this map type, is it's minimalism. U can fit 20 intersections on something as small as a candy wrapper. Very fast to copy by hand as well. Once you get used to it, another advantage is it's readability, so with experience u can even follow it whilst running, if needed for reasons unknown.

[@TheProperPeople]

We were aware of more efficient ways of mapping but we chose to do it the way we did so that it would show up on camera better and have more visual impact. If we were to do it again though we would definitely use a method like what you describe because the mapping slowed us down a lot more than we thought it would.

[@Veefy]

I’m a mining engineer so it’s kinda funny seeing you guys confused about the near identical layout of access drives which is very common in most underground mines. I’d probably suggest if you do any more underground explores to do some more research on some of the types of mining beforehand so you are more familiar with some of the features you will see and potential dangers you will come across.

[@TRDCelica]

[@ghostrider_2005]

@Bill Williams Nothing wrong with giving tips, you don't need to be a mining engineer to see that they came unprepared. no gloves, no safety gear, a bad O2 monitor,.. mines are dangerous and should not be explored without precaution and the right safety gear.

"Besides not finding anything too extraordinary in the mine" That wet ladder, with power cables & water pipes coming down from it's passage was pretty damn cool! No idea how safe exploring it would have been, but it looked like something that still was ready for some sort of use.

[@firemanmick]

Awesome video guys but I gotta admit I got a little nervous at 10:30 when you went down that ladder without any ropeline backup. If the ladder had failed or come away from the wall, you would've had to find an alternate exit but I did notice later on in that tunnel branch, there was another ladder laying down that probably would've got you back. Great to see you using the O2 meter but at 18.8%, that's starting to get into dangerously low levels where confusion starts to interfere with clear thought. Anyway, another great video - keep doing what I only dream about.

[@chandlerredhead27]

You should definitely return one day for a part 3!!

[@GoldenNorway1]

12:30 you're right it's not a collapse. It's backfill. You're in an older section of the mine, - note how there used to be rail there. It's removed and installed in another section. The stacked rock is called "gobbing", and was, as you stated, done to save work and time on removing it to the surface. 15:04 probably a dynamite storage. 15:40 I would guess "room and pillar" method. Tiny supports were used to monitor motion and shifting in the surrounding area. If the pillar crumbled or bent, it means that shifting took place. It's an extremely common find in abandoned mines, and is still used to this day.

@@kaylamori4294 I take my chances with the long corridors xD

[@butternutbitches5903]

@@Quast As mentioned, not knowing if that's all there is, and going deep enough- like if they decided to keep going deeper a few more hours, too many similar tunnels could begin to disorient a person. This disorientation, lack of sunlight, oxygen, rest, etc leads to what is the deadlier killer than too many tunnels...losing your grip. Many people have already mentioned they seem to be slightly under-supplied for professional exploring. And if you are experiencing anything that causes you to panic, become confused (from any source like like of proper supplies, oxygen, etc)...the potential of getting lost goes up greatly because of your poor sanity. You think you've got it under control, but then realize you've been making poor decisions for the past hour or so and start to doubt what you see and your logic. Doubt -> panic, etc, and you see where this is going...your panic drives you deeper into the maze, or the same ground over and over, where you run out of time to rest, water, food, light and panic even more upon losing each. Luckily, such intense disorientation and disaster scenario should be rare, I hope, and they had the precaution of warning others to get help if they went too long.

Guys, I enjoy your videos don't get me wrong but exploring abandoned mines is incredibly dangerous even with appropriate gas monitoring equipment and protective gear. Low lying areas can be completely devoid of oxygen and you wouldn't know until it is too late.

[@Lhitt]

they have a oxygen meter. They said it in the last video.

[@CATASTEROID934]

​@@Lhitt considering it only takes several seconds to be impaired significantly you can get trapped pretty easily by descending down a ladder and finding yourself unable to make the journey back up, I don't know how long the time between samples on their meter is but diving headfirst into lower areas without dropping the meter in first isn't ideal practice but they're not exactly engaging in ideal practice to begin with.

[@MysteriousAsteria]

Also some people who worked in mines brought up that only measuring oxygen isn't safe as other, potentially toxic gases can float in the air.

[@pce0513]

It does seem high risk vs reward. Interesting to see none the less.

[@sloppysmile7247]

Those “fake doorways” in that tunnel are usually so when trains are coming, you can find one of the doorways so you don’t risk getting hit by an oncoming train.

[@DaveJayMedia]

As someone who used to go exploring in abandoned mines in the UK might I offer you some tips. 1. Wear some gloves. The things you can catch your hands and fingers on is unbelievable. You can still get good ones that’ll allow you to operate your cameras. 2. Stick something on your head. Don’t go down there with the mentality of ‘I don’t look cool wearing a safety helmet’ You’ve only got one skull & I’m sure you don’t want to get knocked out & have to drag your buddy out or waste Emergency services time all because you wouldn’t wear a safety helmet. 3. Take some waders/rubber boots with you for the flooded parts. But keep up the good work. Been enjoying watching all your videos here in the UK. Love your editing style & colour grading in your other videos.

[@bensonmerritt4605]

davejayphotography I’m from Cornwall Which mines did you explore

[@theblackenedvoid3539]

it is not smart to disturb any liquid in a abandoned mine. the still water can hold toxic gases, some that you can't taste or smell. once you disturb the water it can bring that stuff up. the water can become acidic too any many mine sites have toxic waste that has been illegally dumped there. or old sticks dynamite lying around that were abandoned. old explosives and blasting caps should never be disturbed unless your trained in explosive removal, DON'T DISTURB THEM! the old sticks of dynamite could contain nitroglycerin and can explode if simply handled. there is so much more dangers that lurk on coal and iron mines that really for me makes the risk just to large to explore such a place. there is so much more that are dangers i have not listed. ohhhhh like trying to climb down ladders, and the rungs start breaking as you go down or try to get back up. mine shafts that can range from 30 to 1000 feet deep with little to no fall protection. some shafts habe debri and wood planks that make it look like a walkable surface. support timbers that dry rot and crumble as you touch it. remember these are not caves they are exploring. mines are man made and they use exoposives to break up the rock. it literally fractures the rock and makes it unstable. all it literally can take is for you to tough a support beam the wrong way and be crushed and killed from a cave in. those mine shafts that reach the surface generally not safe from the ground around the shaft being unstable from years of decay and being exposed to the elements. many people have tried to get close to look down a mineshaft, then they slide down and fall. many to their death. even the vibrations from walking and talking can disturb the rock just right and shit starts caving in.

[@kenolsen1845]

Breadcrumbs

[@FyreFiend]

Benjamin P normally I am all about leaving a site exactly as found but mine exploration is different. It’s considered standard practice to tag your way with spray paint so you don’t get lost. It’s also best to follow a handed rule, either left or right, meaning you always turn that way when you reach a branch. That way you will see every section of the mine (probably not possible in this case) and if you need to turn back you just turn around and reverse the hand

[@rashkavar]

At around 13:00 when you're talking about it seeming like a room with pillars - that's exactly it. There's a mining method called "Room and Pillar" that is very popular for mining long, flat ore bodies. And it's exactly what you see, a large area filled with big fat pillars that keep the roof from coming down. These days, they've been known to send in automated mining vehicles to try to pull out the pillars when they're done - it inevitably collapses the room, but if it's deep enough that it won't cave all the way to the surface (which is a calculation based on the rock strength, the size of the room, and a few other factors), that really doesn't matter unless your miners are still in there when it goes smoosh. Automated/remote controlled vehicles, while expensive, are generally seen as more expendable than people, so they'll take risks with them that they won't with human-operated equipment.

[@Dormammu]

This was so interesting to see! I hope there is a part 3, but probably not since this video was in 2018 lol

[@ThatTechGuy123]

THANK YOU FOR HAVING FREE VIDEOS!

[@Jaxon_Wii]

This reminds me of the movie “Monument Men” where they searched the tunnels in Eastern Europe and found the Germans had several hidden wings closed off with brick and mortar hiding their stolen plunder/goods from war.

[@abnerthiessen8068]

I'm 99% Shure that mine was used by the Germans during ww2 from some of the stuff down there

[@JoshMiller2020]

This is so very good! I am enjoying your work so much. There is so much to explore, keep up the great work fellas.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

You guys could have been easily misled by the wall markings. Personally I would have taken a reference photo of every number or significant marking on my phone for any comparisons, great video again, fascinating exploration.

[@Plasmacore_V]

Stick with paper. Notepads don't run out of batteries or break when you drop them.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

@@Plasmacore_V Yes, definately wouldn't use as a replacement but a companion. Takes a second to click a photo and in sequence create a chronology you can trace backwards.

[@whitenoise509]

Or maybe just bring a video camera and record it all.....

[@TADMG]

Just found your videos and I love them. I'm physically disabled so I could never do this kind of thing myself, so I get to see it through the eyes of people like you. Thanks!

Looks like someone tried to put that sign back together.

[@joshuaayres121]

Yea!! Been waiting for part 2 after an awesome 1st part.

10:55 What would you have done if that ladder broke and left one of you down in the hole?

[@Pcarnevaaa]

Then the channel will be renamed the proper person and the cave dweller

Yes, been waiting all week for this.

11:34 is probably "vers la jaune" (to the yellow) or "vers la joune" (to the daylight)

[@Kermit0398]

this is honestly so interesting to watch i really hope you guys make another video on this mine going further in, it's dangerous but holy is awesome to watch. glad you guys are safe though be careful if you guys go again

[@shopdog831]

The ceramic insulators on that old light you saw look very 1920s. The brick section might even be 1890s

[@TheNightOwl258]

Awesome exploration. The tunnels go on forever and so many ancient things lying around. 👍🏻💜

[@tyresejohn8781]

I love reading the facts about the mines in the comments

[@mikegaughan1068]

Another exciting explore, you guys rock.

[@jimmymiller77]

WOW........ Another Fantastic Video. Well, if the Proper People made it it MUST be great !!! Thanks Guys, ....>

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Nice job on the filming, I can tell you guys don't go underground much. An easy way not to get lost is to always turn to the right when coming to an intersection. The material in the drift at 12:30 is just back fill. Waste rock.

[@astral16]

Omg you guys captured the scary moment of not knowing where u are

[@Mike_Malloy]

Love the mine explore. This one doesn't as old as some I've seen on KZbin but still fascinating to see.

[@Pop1nsk1]

I remember this place in Metro Last Light :)

[@TheDancingunicorn]

This is extremely fascinating, please go back and explore more, I'm so intrigued by this? Much love from Australia xo

Loved the part 1&2 video in this hue mine! Good stuff

[@jblackops99]

I work in a sand mine and would recommend getting some muck boots for the wet areas.

[@wolfboy18]

Omg, this was so amazing to watch. I love watching your exploration videos. I got a chill down my spine just watching this. Imagine if those walls could talk.

[@DerMartexus]

After a night on a radar tower, a night in an old mine would be the next step. ;)

[@mr.ruinenfan8904]

Thank you so much for this great atmospheric second part of exploring such an extraordinary and fantastic location at the same time, guys. 👍👍👍 Great and very respectful work at the same time. Many greetings and a very nice weekend 😂👍

[@doc3584]

Remember the movie"The Descent"?

[@mikekantor453]

This was your best explore yet. Scary as hell and very creepy. You guys do stuff I would never do. Stay safe!

[@FinnishArmy]

Please upload a detailed map of the mine on your website!!!

Oh man! I need to know how this continue! We want a 3rd part!!

[@williambennett4360]

Will the map every be published? It's very interesting and detailed.

Great video guys, I know that feeling of wanting to keep going but your gut says it's time to go!!!! Keep up the great work

[@kdrgaming3344]

11:30 In french "vors la jaune" means "Go with Yellow." Like, go the yellow route.

[@TheArchitect515]
