Mine Report 6-6 Moving BIG Rocks (With a Come-A-Long!)

[@WisdomIsPrecious]

Wow, amazing channel you've got, I didn't know anybody was this hardcore, and I certainly didn't think they would post all about it on KZbin, very cool. Make sure to make redundant digital copies of your work and pass them down so the knowledge isn't lost...well, not telling you what to do, just trying to pay a compliment in my own way. Anyways, what brought me here was I was thinking of buying a 6 ton come along to move some big rocks down a hill, but is that overkill?

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

It depends on the steepness of the hill. Also, what is a 'big rock' to you? Make sure they can't take off on you and get someone hurt also.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Awesome video mate, iv still been doing the workouts you showed, who needs a gym lol

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Thank you.

[@HiddenAcres1809]

Nice 👍

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Thank you.

Keith for very big rocks we use the Sierra blaster! It works excellent! Can't wait to go dredging in the spring!

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

I'm not sure what the regs are here for that, but I know nobody has one here. I'd like to try one someday.

[@paintinggilbert]

If you can use them in California you can use them anywhere it's called the Sierra blaster.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Seems likely, but I would check it out. I may have a use for them this winter. If I ever use them I will do a video. They seem to do well.

[@formerlyuser123]

Great videos, keep it up mate!

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

I'll give it my best shot.

[@patrickjobling8676]

Have i got a spot for that .. yessirree bob .. 😁thanks

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

You're welcome. Be safe.

A FEW YEARS BACK I STARTED BRINGING MY SNATCH BLOCK AND A HANGER CHAIN. IF THERE ARE TREES ON THE RIVER YOU CAN LIFT AS YOU PULL BY RUNNING THE CABLE THROUGH AN ELEVATED SNATCH BLOCK.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Yep, there are a lot more tricks than I could cover in one video. Plus, I am far from an expert,,,, so far.

Is your keyboard broken?

Thank you

[@forestanderson3267]

I wasn't there, they brought you by my camp I really can't talk remember I tried to stop a runaway dredge with my body and got the blackeye oh the good times LOL 🤔😗🤔😀😗

adventure: something unpleasant happening to someone else far away.

[@forestanderson3267]

didn't mean to imply anything bad

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

@@forestanderson3267 It is a saying a friend of mine has. I had a lot of fun last summer and I consider it sort of a 'safe' adventure. Thanks for the help and the fun. I'm still working options to hopefully make it a full time gig. Probably snow bird it to chase the decent temperatures.

[@glennwmurphy1]

LOOKS LIKE YOU REFINED YOUR ROCK TECHNIQUE AT THE COST OF SOME FINGER-HIDE, KIETH!

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

I like to put a little of myself into all my work. :-)

[@MrErikm]

Hi Keith, Stumpy is looking good are you still keeping him dry?

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Yep, healing fine thank goodness.

[@paintinggilbert]

For all that work I would sure love to see some gold that you're finding?

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

The dredge owner is a bit secretive during the season, I will be showing some soon. It's king of like having an all cash business and showing the till.

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

either youre independently wealthy and retired,,, or you just enjoy breaking rocks..either way youre very knowledgeable

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

the guy you work or is gonna get himself killed one of these days

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Wayne is pretty hard core when it comes to moving rocks. HE has a gas powered winch and isn't afraid to use it. In our case, with only a comealong and a short length of small diameter cable, the danger seems fairly modest in case of suddwn failure. Evereone but the comealong operator can stay clear, but what can HE do?

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Just enjoy mining and am having an adventure while my body still can.

[@formerlyuser123]

@@hardrockuniversity7283 a towel or magazine over the cable can help as a brake in the event of sudden failure

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Thank you for the tip. Keith

[@forestanderson3267]

of course you always want to avoid hurting the rock to bad by Cushing it with a finger between rocks LOL🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😗😗😗😗😀😀😀😀

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Hey Forrest! Were you there? Huh?! Good thing Mike and Wayne were there to haul my battered and bleeding body to medical help. :-)

[@maranti34b]

Get a Sierra Blaster. Much faster, no Fed license needed. Am a dealer for it.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Can you give me a link? I will need some sooner or later. Thanks

[@maranti34b]

[e-mail]. Do assays and sell small mining equipment, hardrock & placer.

[@phillipjacobson4498]

Now become famous prove how the rocks of the great pyramids were moved 200 miles over sand Yea I'm trying to be funny sorry

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

I saw a theory on that once that made a lot of sense. They hypothesized that they simply strapped rounded pieces of wood to the sides and thusly turned them into cylinders. They tested it out by hauling a block of concrete about 4 feet cubed up a loading dock ramp with three guys. Made sense to me.

[@desperono1560]

They accomplished nothing

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Nothing? They exposed a lot of area for dredging.
