Another great adventure!

[@campoutwestus]

Thank you for coming along!

[@PrimalOutdoors]

This is a really great video. After six weeks of working on the van, I am definitely missing the long, lonely stretches of desert road. You did a nice job of sharing the history and locations, and I really enjoyed seeing the military equipment and the desert big horns. Jason

[@campoutwestus]

Thanks so much! We love exploring Nevada and those long lonely roads. It was exciting to see the big horn sheep. I see them quite a bit on these desert trips, but have never been able to capture them on film before. I appreciate you watching. Hope you're out on the trail again soon!

[@htchevyii771]

That looks like an awesome adventure!

[@campoutwestus]

Very awesome! 👍

[@htchevyii771]

How can you top that!

[@williamwallace9826]

Another beautiful video. It's great to see you two getting out and exploring the out-of-the-way places. And I love the way you have your Comanche fitted out for off-road trekking and camping. It's nice to see an old rig like that still being used the way it was intended to be used.

[@campoutwestus]

Thanks so much. We love our old Comanche and it's been fun getting out and using it. Appreciate you watching!

Back in the day, those old stamp mills used to use liquid mercury to amalgamate the gold. Gold sticks to the mercury like glue. Then it is burned off, leaving the gold behind. The silica dust created by those stamp mills was a killer to breathe every day. Mining was a hard, short life back then.

[@campoutwestus]

I can't imagine what a hard life those miners endured. I read at Berlin the cyanide used in processing washed down into a pond that the children used as their swim hole.

[@troymaxx9453]

It's crazy how unpopulated much of NV. Is

[@campoutwestus]

We can drive for hours or a full day without seeing another person there.

[@MXSSF_ACTUAL]

Real nice. We did a tour around NW Nevada last summer. A blast!

[@campoutwestus]

There's so much to see. There's never enough time, but that's OK, it gives us a reason for more trips!

[@outsideinoregon]

You two have so much fun. I love your videos and learn something too!

[@campoutwestus]

Thank you so much, that means a lot. 🤗

[@scottymac5174]

So many of those old mines are hard to get to by today's standards. Building them with the resources that were available 100+ years ago is really amazing.

[@campoutwestus]

Such rough conditions, it's mind blowing they were able to get the supplies out to these remote places to build entire towns.

[@CraigKoppel]

This was really neat. I love all these old abandoned ghost towns out west. Nevada certainly has a lot of them. You wouldn’t want to break down out there. It’s so remote. I was thinking of rattlesnakes when you looked in the mine then you said you were watching out for them. Hope you are having fun. 👍

[@campoutwestus]

Thanks, they say Nevada has more ghost towns than living towns. And breaking down out there was a concern. We sometimes didn't see another car all day on this trip. Trey is prepared with tools and extra parts though 😉. Appreciate you watching!

[@christopherkramer-dp2mm]

This looks like so much fun.

[@campoutwestus]

It was pretty cool 👍

[@campoutwestus]

I know someone who could plan you a trip. 😉

[@OverlandScout81]

Great video! Love coming across old abandoned places.

[@campoutwestus]

Same here. And we love exploring NV because you have it all to yourself. Thanks for watching!

[@courtneychambers9214]

Love this! Also what the heck was that creepy noise!? 😨

[@campoutwestus]

@@courtneychambers9214 thanks! Im not sure which noise you heard?

[@huntercoleman460]

Neat fossils Heather.

[@campoutwestus]

Thanks, it was an interesting stop on our trip.

[@earltaulbee3555]

Great video! Wish we could have joined you guys, but maybe next year if you come back to Nevada.

[@campoutwestus]

That would be great! We're definitely going back to Nevada!

[@kristinkoepke5182]

Im loving your videos! Especially the history that you add to it. Do rhey have a ghost town map ? Keep up the good work. I know those videos kare a tin of work to make and edit

[@campoutwestus]

@@kristinkoepke5182 I appreciate the kind words. There are a few different Nevada ghost town books we have used, but we have more luck studying maps. Also there's a website with a lot of great information www.nvexpeditions.com/index.php thanks for watching!

[@buscampers]

Nevada looks like a sleeper state to me. You guys have shown us so many cool little old towns and sites in that state over the past year that shows there's more to the state than just Las Vegas. How deep were those mines?

[@campoutwestus]

I used to think the same thing about NV, but every time we explore there I'm blown away. It's hard to say how deep those mines are. In one clip we dropped a rock and you could hear the delay when it finally hit something. Thanks for coming along!

[@buscampers]

@@campoutwestus Yeah I noticed the rock drop, thats what had me wondering lol.

[@scottymac5174]

What we consider the middle of Nowhere today. Back then, it was somewhere.

[@campoutwestus]

Hard to believe that when you're out there now, but you're right.

[@jamesgraves6567]

just found your channel gave it a thumbs up and enjoyed it except for the booze wife and i are non drinkers but anyway save alot of money that way lol but im glad you had a good time..will check back for future videos....

[@campoutwestus]

@@jamesgraves6567 thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@kristinkoepke5182]

Also, im looking for a rooftop tent. Are you guys able to store your blankets in your tent?

[@campoutwestus]

@@kristinkoepke5182In our old rooftop tent we were able to store a lot of bedding. This newer, low profile tent only allows one sleeping bag flat out, with one blanket on top. We compare the two tent styles in our "inspired overland rooftop tent review" video and that might help you to decide which style tent is best for you.
