Exploring Corkscrew Of Abandoned Mine Portals Through Mountain

[@djspatrick]

Don't be so quick to dismiss the drums of strawberry puree. The miners might have been making daiquiris and having a FABULOUS time!

[@kaboom4679]

Don't know about that but they sure had a start on a good pot of chili with that snake .

[@MikeOrkid]

The mental images are incredible.

[@paulcooper9135]

I sense a return trip with the climbing gear!!! That Void was seriously impressive! And scary to hear it slowly collapsing while you stood there! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@Swalkerfilm]

Finding that enormous chasm was a great surprise and what a fantastic panorama at the end with the old mine track jutting out and the mountains in the distance.

One of TVR Exploring’s top 5 videos for me! Just wow! Also , anyone watching this will notice that when our videographer gets into the softer ground, the echo of his voice stops. Good echo=good ground(usually) No echo=bad ground(almost always).

[@TVRExploring]

Thank you. Glad you liked it! Yes, it is wild how abruptly the sound will change when walking through some mines...

Great video ..great explore ..loved it . From Australia 🦘🦘🦘

[@EminenceFrontX5]

Great ending. RockOn loved this episode.

Cool. Thank you.

American Tobaco Company. They were part of the Tobaco Trust. RJ Reynolds, Liget & Meyers and Lorillard until 1911. So its post 1911.

[@anntomecklebarger3599]

I think I've seen signs for that tobacco brand with a steam boat paddle wheeler on it.

[@TVRExploring]

Thank you for the details... Those names are essentially Altria and British American Tobacco today (in the United States anyway). It would be interesting to know where that brand ended up within those nicotine giants.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

A very surprising explore again thnx loved watching it.

[@richardwarnock2789]

That door handle reminding of my father's gold mining absolutely 💯 sure he cut all them doors handles that way he taught me to cut them that way barrels reminding me of the fall shelter he made as well many states !

[@bryanlong1363]

Thanks!

[@TVRExploring]

Bryan, thank you very, very much. We look forward to your return! Hopefully, your crew is able to avoid bridges in the meantime.

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

Greetings from Washington!

[@TalRohan]

It would be an interesting project to 3d map that mountain and see where the faults were compared to the mines. THere must have been a common fault line through the mountain, maybe even more than one. Have you ever taken ore from chutes in a mine like this to assay it and see what was going on? I don't think I have ever heard anyone call a rattling rattle snake cute before, thats a new one..he was pretty cool though.

[@Baked_intell]

Another of my favorite things 🧐

[@richardbrobeck2384]

great video !

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

[@mickie7873]

At and beyond (5:11) where the "back" collapsed, all the walls look pretty unstable.(Sandstone you say?) WOW! you ran across a rattler! At 11:54, looks like a trommel, but you're saying compressor shop. Some pretty crumbly rock type along all the adepts and down in that 1st. winze. Lots earthquakes in this or near this part of CA? plus tthese are pretty old mines. What year do you guess? A very interesting "explore". Thank you for filming it.

[@theowsla]

The random doomsday seed vault was unexpected.

[@archstanton9206]

Good stuff. They were doing well enough there do some significant infrastructure investment. I always wonder why they left these places...fascinates me.

[@TVRExploring]

Well, labor (and life) was a lot cheaper in the U.S. in the past and so they could profitably create wonders underground. Many mines were unable to reopen again after World War II as a result of wage and price pressures pushing far beyond the fixed price of gold.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Justin & crew, wow that bottom adit turned out to be quite a decent explore, is it me or were those ore chutes smaller than normal ???. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

[@TVRExploring]

Thank you, Sue. Yes, the ore chutes were definitely smaller than normal and one of them was tiny. It seemed odd because some of the stopes were fairly large. Every site - especially the older ones - carries its own unique features and "personality" if you will.

[@SueGirling68]

@@TVRExploring yes I did notice that really small one, what on earth were they putting down there, gravel lol ?? I bet they got blocked quite a lot too, it must have taken ages to feed all the ore down them, it doesn't make sense to me as it would have been so time consuming. xx

[@TVRExploring]

Yes, that was odd, wasn't it? As you mentioned, I can indeed imagine that it would certainly cause a great number of problems. @@SueGirling68

TVR Exploring- where you find how wood can hold back rock!

[@moonbear1st]

great echo at the beginning but boy most of that looks dire..

[@TVRExploring]

Ha, yeah, it was a bit sporty with all of that rock spontaneously crumbling down...

[@Ferris-w3s]

Theres a mine close by call The Dixie Queen. In Bonrers co Idaho.

[@RussellNelson]

"have a quick look". You NEVER have just a "quick" look. 🙂

[@TVRExploring]

For some reason, that is a lesson that we need to constantly relearn.

[@kypparmstrong2775]

Do you think the big cavern was dug or natural?

[@TVRExploring]

It was carved out by the miners.

[@streaky81]

You couldn't pay me enough money to open an unidentified barrel stuffed purposely in a mine like that.

[@AIM54A]

I was waiting for jimmy hoffa to be found.

[@TVRExploring]

Oh, the mystery barrels only explode some of the time when you open them. LOL.

Plug cut tobacco, sounds like chewing tabacco

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

The can had a stylized "Smoke" before the brand name. Probably pipe tobacco. Plug cut pipe tobacco is still a thing to this day.

[@darknes7800]

The doomsday preppers are funny......... Leaving all their "precious" seeds in mine that has public access?????? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Not much on thinking things ALL THE WAY through are they?

[@mikecarr1484]

Coast? Come on man. Stream light . No wonder you can't see colors.

Since you posted twice I thought I would respond twice! If you hit the "Thanks" button that shows a heart with a dollar sign inside, you can donate to this amazing channel! If you desire them to utilize particular gear, feel free to donate the amount equal to the cost and add a note!

[@TVRExploring]

Ha, you're shilling awfully hard for Streamlight. Are you getting a commission from them? I use a variety of lights for the mine exploring - Fenix, O Light Marauder, Nitecore and, yes, Coast. I have a Streamlight on a rifle and one for use around the house. So, I'm not unfamiliar with their products. I use the combination that works best for me for convenience, weight and a variety of other factors for the mines. The Coast flashlight you see in this video was, unfortunately, lost in another mine, but I'm happy to report that I have another, newer Coast model to replace it. Hopefully, it will annoy you to the same degree.

[@rogermartin404]

Pleasantly dissapointing.... UNSUBCRIBED 🖐

[@mikecarr1484]

Wish I could see more in your video. If only you had a decent flashlight. Hmmm.
