Opening My Gold Mine! Part 1 Timbering The Portals

Embark on an incredible journey as we breathe new life into an abandoned gold mine in this captivating KZbin video! Join Jason as he kicks off the process of reopening the mine for the season, focusing on ensuring safety and security by timbering up the portals.
In Part 1 of this series, witness the transformation from standing trees to sturdy timbers that will fortify the mine's entrances. Jason takes you through each step of this intricate process, beginning with the careful harvesting of trees from the surrounding area. These trees are then skillfully transformed into quality lumber and robust timbers at the sawmill.
As the timber makes its way to the mine, Jason's expertise shines as he meticulously timber up and rehabilitate the old portals, ensuring they are stable and safe for the upcoming mining operations. This foundational work is crucial for not only preserving the mine's history but also preparing for a prosperous gold production season.
Stay tuned for the upcoming videos in this series, where we'll dive deeper into the revitalization of the abandoned gold mine. Witness the intricate steps, dedication, and passion that go into breathing new life into a treasure trove hidden beneath the earth's surface.
Join us on this remarkable journey of revival, where old meets new and history meets the future. Don't miss out on the exciting updates to come as we continue to document the process of rekindling the golden spirit of this abandoned mine.

You Sir are the Bob the Builder of Goldminers 😊

[@ilouse]

Bloody hell mate I was glued to the screen, nothing better than timberfallin millin and mining. They go hand in hand. 🇦🇺👍🏻

[@MB-bt9km]

Super excited for this project!

[@RealDealDude]

Man this really brought back memories! I used to cut for the railroad industry, tie logs. I kinda miss it.

[@Bari_Khan_CEng_CMarEng]

This is rhe most amazing thing I have ever seen. Legend. The sawmill opwrator seemed very grumpy.... This seems like the start of a World of Warxraft instance/dungeon.... The making of one!

[@JC_Musician]

Northern Washington is a great place for self-made business owners. My uncle owned and operated a rock quarry for years and became wealthy. I’m glad to see Jason making his own resources to build what he needs to help extract more resources from his mine!

[@secard4202]

Yes, still lots of natural splendor to ruin up there. Flatten it all! Cut and burn!

[@SCW1060]

Yes the Crystalline core of the North Cascades is full of minerals and volcanics

[@outdoorloser4340]

Uncle Al in Kendall? He's my uncle too, lol.

[@darkspar72]

Don't the payloads tend to pinch though?

[@Donaldperson7]

Great this will be the adventure of a lifetime! Good luck Jason! If I was 20 years younger I would work for you but I’m only a manager now!

[@ProspectorTripp]

Golden work Jason Gave me a Major Flashback! 😳 In 1995 I bought a portable band sawmill. We owned 40a in Harrietta Michigan with beautiful 24”~36” Red Pines. I logged off, sawed/dried enough to build a 24’ x 64’ two story timber frame barn. I did this work By My Self 99%😅 It was a super fun Bucket List project. I really enjoyed the sawer’s grumblings about the dirty logs. 😂 The dirty log issue I solved by making a log sleds. Really interesting video. Thanks Jason Peace Prospector Tripp

[@nightswatchman4520]

amazing that your operation is so sustainable

[@alexkaring]

That's really cool! Appreciate you showing the process step by step - wedges and all.

[@vicferrari9380]

I remember my dad first bringing home plastic wedges for wood cutting. I thought he was nuts. I definitely learned that once again he was right. Damn he's always been good at that.😂

[@jasongrinnell1986]

Thank you. I look forward to watching this mine unfold.

[@SCW1060]

Wow Jason your a Jack of all trades. I'm going be be enjoying the adventures to come

[@JasperKlijndijk]

Jason will be prospecting on Mars in a few years

[@semoneg2826]

​@@JasperKlijndijk😂😂❤

[@GickelsGaming]

its so satisfying seeing how much timber you came back with after cutting down and hauling that huge tree, at the low cost of a new bandsaw blade

[@damianstasek8946]

And gas, and wearing and tear on the truck, chain saw, etc.

[@johnwanderin3872]

A nice cameo appearance by a nice size tree frog

[@carroll-w7wxv]

Jason, I am looking forward to this mining series. Thank you so much for putting all this on KZbin.

[@sonyequator6852]

When i saw you fell and skid the logs remembering our jobs in 90, when we worked in Logging company...Thanks' for sharing the vid.

[@1944chevytruck]

AWESOME CONGRATS!...Hope you hit a big pay day!

[@lainealexander5927]

Nice work Jason but remember your circular air flow for the mine👍

[@allthingspropheticministry]

This is going to be a great series. Thanks

[@rockman531]

Hi Jason, Fantastic start! Love Fred with his comments. Looking forward to 4 or 5 months of mining videos! Stay safe!! Thumbs up!! Jim

[@Twelveoglock1]

this awesome! you are very talented.

[@minerjohnny41]

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Way to go Jason, I've been waiting to see this video since you spoke of it.... im thrilled to see what you pull out Be safe, and have a bunch of fun Videos every week or so ??

[@shookthehooksportfishing3507]

The view from that deck is incredible. I would live in that thing and enjoy that view with my coffee every morning.

[@andrewwallace3444]

Love that you show all the steps that need to happen to get to the point of actually mining of your gold

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

Thanks Jason… this is exciting.

[@johntenhave1]

Brilliant work. The absolute essence of practicality combined with very smart thinking. Bravo.

[@DeTrOiTXX12]

It always amazes me how big trees look on the ground.

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

Jason really liked seeing what it really tales to set up a mine from getting & cutting wood to framing. Can’t wait to see more & results of your gold mine!👍👍😎💪

[@gem6240]

What a great way to spend a cold rainy Saturday than watching you and your group of miners open up that gold mine. I was in a privet hard rock mine in California and it’s amazing how much work it really is. Thank you for making these videos.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

I gave a great compliment the way my Dad would have. Soon as i saw Jason startup the chain saw I said "Well I guess he's knocked down a coupe trees before:" :)

[@AIM54A]

What an awesome view.. Great work too.

[@ThumpahLee]

I've been looking forward to this chapter of your adventure

[@atuuschaaw]

Thanks Jason! I'm enjoying this journey...and *WHAT* a view! ♥

[@EM-ig7ib]

You always blow my mind with how resourceful you are . . . And that's a great lesson for me and anyone else who has hard rock mining aspirations . . . The more resourceful one is, the lower the grade of ore one can sustain themselves with. Fantastic example as always . . .

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

Excited to watch this series. Turned my notifications bell on.

[@AdamsWorlds]

Amazing you have all this stuff local. Good job was nice seeing the process.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

This is really interesting to watch Jason, thank you for taking the time to show us how you do it.

[@Paulster2]

Dang, Jason, you got the wayback machine running for me today! Felling trees, limbing, setting chokers, then using a rubber tired skidder to move the trees out ... reminds me of when I was a kid in the woods of Montana with my dad. Thanks for rekindling the memories! :o)

[@KamuiPan]

I was not expecting a "Guilty of Treeson" channel bit. Nice job Jason!

[@a3skywarrior929]

Now thats a hard working Lumberjack/Miner/Carpenter/Landscaper... 🤠

What a view from the portal. 🇬🇧

[@merlinunderwood849]

Nice Job.. looking forward seeing more!

[@waynelacroix8870]

I was a log scaler for a saw mill in maine many years ago and watching you scale those brings back memories. We would deduct for rot and sweep or any other blemishes and then pay on the scale. But now im into recreational mining 😂

[@s.d.iprospecting4359]

Recreational mining. Like digging beer out of a cooler?

[@waynelacroix8870]

@bennichols1113 yeah digging beer out of a cooler. What a dolt!

[@victorbryant2791]

I love watching your mining and smelting videos Jason! It was cool to watch the process in getting the timber for the mine. I didn't think too much about the wood necessary for the hard rock mining but it was interesting to see. Good luck with your gold mine sir!

[@Alrik.]

Great colab of Mine Operator and all your channels! :P Awesome content as always, looking forward to more!

[@1971jwing]

Damn Jason is a beast and I hope you strike it rich my man!!! Great health to you and yours.

Nice Work Jason ! I'm looking forward to seeing the mines output !

[@BartonThom]

Jason--This is a really outstanding video, I enjoyed it alot.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

I am going to share this video with Sarah Huckabee-Sanders and other people in hopes that it helps convince people who much we need to resurrect the small scale mining industry in America!

[@iamelcapitan]

Is there anything this guy can’t do? Pretty sure next he’s going to be baking cupcakes from locally forged materials 😂. Totally respect the hustle man, looking forward to part 2

[@GoodForYou4504]

And they would probably be absolutely delicious..... 😂👍

Hey guys, my name is Jason with cups of cakes and today I am gonna show you how to do icing.

[@semoneg2826]

[@Ethan-xm4fv]

That was awesome. Saved a ton on cutting your own timber. Loved it when the pipe just broke after trying to cut it. Glad you are up and running.

[@bentationfunkiloglio]

Very cool! Congrats on your progress. Would love to live in an area with so many natural resources! Nothing like having your own trees and local saw mill to cut them. Definitely cheaper than buying wood at your local home depot.

[@AKMan-m4k]

Yet another awesome video!! I probably would have just purchased lumber so I could save effort and get mining that much quicker, but it’s neat to see you doing it the old school way.

Fantastic development and great to see familiar miners helping you with your new endeavor 💛🙏🏼 Before you start mining, maybe have the "pond" area inside the mine, where that miner was murdered/drowned/dropped, cleansed by a priest 🙏🏼⭐
