I do watch Brad’s channel and thought it was really cool when he told us about making this for you. He sure is talented.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Yes he is!

He sure is!

Very nice looking back pack for your bottles n I like the color too. Crabbers are cool . There nice n long n like you said keep from getting your hands wet. Since this hobby is getting more well known these items certainly come in handy. You have a very cute wife n a good sport too. ♥️😊👍👍

[@musichouse-]

Super-cool that your family is included in your bottle hunts! I would probably spray clear coat on the sign (after its cleaned up a bit)

[@adventurearchaeology]

I think that may be my approach!

[@stricnine69]

Since the sign is bent it may be a good idea to glue it to a small board and cover in epoxy.

[@ot1402]

Great video Brandon. To bad about the sign but can’t win hem all. Nice miners tag, and some good bottle finds as well. See you and the next adventure.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Tom!

[@ghostravenXX]

Allways a great day for a hunt. That stopper is sweet, I would be looking for a walking stick to put that on as its so chunky and cool , Thx for sharing

That would be cool

Nice finds! Nice Bag, been watching GM for years!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Lance!

[@icerazar713]

I have one of those brass tags. Its blank and much newer. I carry it on my key ring. It was an old key tag from a trucking company I used to work for. Enjoyed the video. It's pretty cool that your wife spends time with you looking for bottles.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Awesome! And thanks for watching!

[@SkiSearcher]

nice bag 💼 ! I love my ezpik grabbers I purchased too . y’all scored on the bottles 💥👍🏴‍☠️

[@adventurearchaeology]

Ya those grabbers rock!

[@creekwalker8178]

Great vid, man. One really effective method I use to protect my bottles is to put them in socks. Get some long tube socks and double them over so you have two layers of protection. Then you can just stack what you find in your backpack. The empty socks take up almost no room so you can take a ton with you down the creek.

[@adventurearchaeology]

I’ve done the sock trick too haha! My wife would save all the lost sock mates for me!

[@drunkdunc8738]

👍Works well but remember to take the bottles out or your shoes won't fit🍻

Nice bottle bag. I just use my back pack and carry some old tube socks. Get them wet and pack the up. Wish my creeks looked like that. I’ll go in the winter but the summer the snakes run me off. Good luck on the hunt buddy. Enjoy the videos keep them coming please.

Thankfully snakes don’t bother me it’s spiders I don’t like haha!

[@Luciddreamer007]

You have no idea how much I enjoy watching your vid‘s. They help me escape from the most honorable and terrible responsibility of my life. I am the sole caretaker for my wonderful 86-year-old mother 24 - 7 -365 Who has been taken away by the terrible monster that is dementia ! My daughter has a family and a full plate & we lost Dad a few years back - so it’s just me , a guy who loves to collect old bottles 😀 Your videos help me forget that I am trapped for now and they give me a little sense of what my life might be like in the future when I’m able to have a life of my own. When I was your age people were always saying to me Chris you’re such a lucky man. When I see you out with your wonderful family and friends I understand what those peeps meant 30 years ago Brandon - keep them coming You’ve no idea how they help people on many different levels God Bless you & yours

[@adventurearchaeology]

So sorry to hear about your mother! Your a good man for taking care of her! We will definitely keep you in our prayers!

[@constancegreiner906]

Thanks for sharing your story. I too was a caretaker. I enjoyed it very much. I felt I was doing what God wanted me to do. However my health isn't so good. Chronic fatigue and pain. Now my friend has passed I'm feel I should of made more time to do my interest when I was younger and healthier. Please make an effort to find a fill in. Also I didn't get paid although there are govt programs to pay caregivers. Please check into it and be sure you are getting what you deserve. If you weren't there for your mom the govt would be spending a fortune for a healthcare facility. Now I have more free time I don't have money to do things. I willing gave up trips to the islands and across the country to care for my friend. Those opportunities don't happen everyday. God Bless you and your mom. Prayers sent your way.

[@Luciddreamer007]

@@constancegreiner906 Thank you for taking the time to reach out with your kind words - they truly helped Dad left Mom with a very nice house & plenty of money to live - his dying words were to keep her in their house for as long as possible. So that has become my Prime Directive Your a Good Person Constance - and something wonderful will come your way soon God bless

Nice finds and fun times with the wife and dad ! Brad has a cool channel 😊 Hello from Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks 👍

[@MrBottlecapBill]

Cool pack! You can literally put that modular foam in any pack though. I use bubble wrap drinking glass packers. Basically bubble wrap tubes for packing away china and silverware. Super light. Toss them in the pack, put each bottle in it's own wrapper as needed and pack the non used wrappers between bottles as extra protection. They key is to pack the bottles tight so they don't move at all. One layer facing up, the next layer facing down so the top spouts sit down inside the bottom spouts, wrapped in bubble wrap. This forms a solid block of glass so to speak. Or you can just buy this modular foam. I already had the wrappers so I never bothered.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Gotta have some style..... hahaha JK

The backpack looks like it might get a bit heavy even if its empty...pretty heavy duty though! Ever think about one of those bazookas that folks used to carry over their shoulder with their beer in it? Maybe with a sock between the bottles...might be able to lig 5 or 6 bottles out with one...who knows...anyway, nice finds, especially that stopper and coke!👍👍

Bro, if you want some badass grabbers check out gentle giants made by midwest usa. The specialize in snake catching tongs. I do not catch snakes but my company uses them to grab stuff in the textile industry. They have tons of sizes also and they are aluminum so they wont rust. I think they would work perfect for what you do.
