Ibex Mine

[@photobuzz]

I believe the phrase is 'one owner, low mileage, never raced or wrecked'. Another great video. I look forward to new videos from you. I always enjoy them and quite often, you go to places my brother and I explored many years ago. It's good to see them again and sometimes sad, to see the damage that mindless idiots have done to them. I'm 74 and live in Arizona now, for many years. I still get out and explore regularly in my old Jeep Cherokee. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.

[@maggiereese1053]

Takes a special kind of a**hole to burn out an antique mine as well as the ones who like their videos doing it. Same caliber of person who feels compelled to riddle everything in sight in an old mining camp with bullet holes or leave graffiti all over the place. I cannot abide people like that. You are a good guy for warning the mine owners.

If I ever see any of those on my feed, I’m going to report them to KZbin, too. I don’t know if it’ll do any good but I’ll try.

[@undergroundmines]

Glad to see my rubber mats or still in the cabin. Most of us do everything possible including mix video clips from different locations to conceal the locations. Posting the actual names just invites the wrong people.

[@janblake9468]

I explored the Ibex mine area and the cabin 13 years ago. Except for a new visitor's log book in the cabin, it is good to see nothing much has changed. Talc is soft and unstable so those old mines are very dangerous. I never again explored them.

Hi Desert Friend. What I appreciate about you is I've never seen you be greedy about desert 'things'.You gather few rocks, you're gentle on the earth and you love your tunnels! You're awesome! : )

[@Secondwindoregon]

This was really interesting! I’ve never seen inside of a talc mine before.

[@casedoumasr656]

Hello and thank you for all your years of research and discovery 's to make these desert adventures.p.s couple of years ago heard that some explorers we're dropping flare's down mine shafts to see if they were clear to go down .That causes fire's almost every time .Have not heard of this sense the glow sticks and better flash lights .p.s. any way love your outings .Of course be SAFE ⛏️♥️

Great video. So interesting. I always learn new things from you. I like the pictures at the end and your choice of music.

Good job on the video.........Thanks.................JB.

[@georgesmith8113]

Nice walk in that beautiful area! 👍👍👊

[@esad1833]

I do not know if you are aware, but on the side of the rail will be the date made , sometimes who it was made for, and the weight per yard. Just an FYI. I enjoy your videos very much.

[@RinkyRoo2021]

I often wonder what kind of mine sites are on the Nevada Test Range ,some of it I think has been restricted since the 40s ,long before dune buggys etc ,

[@doskraut]

I was there in the mid 80's and I'm sure there was another building besides the cabin, the retaining wall had a road also .

[@jnolette1030]

That shack is in good shape.

[@ronswim8187]

That ‘s sad there is a group who go around purposely destroying history like that! You should name names and report them to the authorities ! They are a low class of so called human! Makes my blood boil!!🤬

[@dougkinney4521]

That fire was a flash fire, timber were not scorched, just wondering if the movie company used it for a set?

[@dezertraider]

THANK YOU,,WX LOOKS SUPER..ENJOY.... DEG F HEE IN MAINE..THANK YOU AGAIN..

[@afw249]

It would cool if you could find out what happened to the miners.

[@michaelshannon7199]

For the Ibex mine, could you say where it's located at?

[@leondelong2846]

What did they burn in the mines that made so much suit?

[@ellismckinney4888]

Soft stone?

[@Hazendal777]

Nice video . A little more light , lcd will be nice . Thank you.

[@bruceburch8301]

I watch many of these vids and and not told what people were mining for.what is talc.?

[@benterbieten9540]

A coat of paint and that car would be just like new, lol

[@BulletsandButtons]

2:39. Was that you breathing or a growl. And just before that I thought I heard a whisper.

[@jasonbanks6291]

I heard it too 😲

[@monicapark9712]

I had to go back but I heard it too..sounded more like a deep sigh to me.

[@ianwilkinson4602]

Do you never worry about rattlesnakes or mountain lions in these environments?

[@lawrencedee8661]

Many mines in the Death Valley district were scams. Thus you can inspect them not see a sign of mineralization. Read Death Valley and the Amargosa for some amazing history of the mines.,

[@SueGirling68]

Hi, such a cool area to explore, I really hope those idiots are caught and at least fined and also banned on KZbin, those types of people are what gives explorers a bad name, unlike yourself and others who explore these historic places with respect. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

[@patdenney7046]

Yeah it’s a government brought in bulldozers bulldozer it all put up the bat gate then you wouldn’t have to worry about it! Which they’re in the process of

[@patdenney7046]

That’s one of the main reasons that explorers don’t tell where they’re at because the government wants to hunt it down and destroy it

[@SueGirling68]

@@patdenney7046 It is sad that the BLM are slowly closing down history, thank the lord for people like Tim that get to go in ahead of time to document these fascinating places. x

[@SueGirling68]

@@patdenney7046 I totally agree and they shouldn't. x

This inspires me to make better content 😄

[@billjames7621]

would someone be able to go with you sometime

[@otgexploring]

geat video !!! i hate the people who destroy and pillage these places, i recently visited the ruth mine and it was burned down , i wonder if the same assholes ya mentioned are responsible for that one

[@dougmorley2850]

The second one looks really sketchy !

[@joepasco1420]

Pens dry out, leave a pencil.

Hope you are armed out there in dessert, Snakes of all kinds out there.

[@dave8599]

you need better lighting, much too dark.

[@Nutcase46]

Sad that people have no respect for history.

[@Danzoid61]

When you spin around fast you make watchers dizzy.

[@patdenney7046]

Sounds like the government

[@patdenney7046]

The main destroyers of mining history

[@patdenney7046]

Nobody cares when the government does it massively. Environmentalist get jobs working for the government and they hate anything to do with mining so they want to destroy it even our history and nobody says a fucking word

[@patdenney7046]

I spent years trying to protect mining sites from our government destroying them I give up they have endless resources not to improve the environment. Where do the environmentalist with a screw loose get a job the government are they ever held accountable no. How come there’s so many nuts in our government it’s only place he can get a job and you wonder why we’re so screwed up

[@patdenney7046]

And we should create more laws to punish the people that are screwing up everything throw them in jail make more sanctioned areas so we can’t have any management so they burn off like wildfires in California the whole damn forest California is an example for the rest of the state along with parts of Oregon and Washington aren’t they wonderful Burnt now no forestry management no logging no fuel reduction eliminated as many roads as possible so it goes back to natural and fire is natural .

[@brapppn-can-am-man6906]

The lighting inside the Mines while recording these Videos, absolutely Sucks.... 💯 And you go way to fasssssssst, not allowing your viewers to see what is happening. SLOW DOWWWWWWN. Get better lighting ✨️
