    I give you guys a lot of credit. I visited an abandoned mine in Alaska in 2019. Very interesting, all equipment left at end of WWII. The shaft was gated about 100 feet in. The cold dampness coming from inside was almost painful and it was July. Thanks for making this video. In the interest of self preservation I wouldn't do what you are doing.

    The 'U' shaped anchors are called 'Bull horns' in the mines of Timmins Canada.

    I just love your photography. Thank you for sharing. It provides a unique perspective that isn’t availability in most other mine exploration channels. Keep up the FANTASTIC work!

    That tool skip is impressive .. and if its still on its cable, there should be a winch and who knows what else at the top!!! Now my curiosity is lit!
    Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

    Did your feet get numb? Those small kegs stay intact because the moisture swelled the slats. In dry mines, they fall apart. Alaska? Your idea or Justin’s? Lotsa relics everywhere you look. Now, I’ll have to checkout Justin’s version. Thank you!!

      My feet were okay, but my hands were beyond numb. We had to crawl on the ice because there wasn’t enough room to stand up. It was actually our third friend’s idea to go in here. Definitely check out Justin’s video, it shows much more of the treacherous ice.

    Some serious amounts of dynamite there. Probably a good job it's so wet in there. Those empty boxes are amazing though.

    Where in Alaska is this?

    That looks like 60% nitro Red Cross powder. Used a lot in mines, blasting caps probably fuse as electric caps were not used as much .

    Cool. Do you know the name of this mine from usgs records? It would be fun to know the history of it and what they were digging.
