- This week, I'm back to explore the mines I found in my last video! The snow melted, my friend Johnny was able to come to town, and we went exploring!
This is the last mine exploration for a while, and I hope you enjoy. Next week I'm back with lots of building renovations I've been working on! I hope you subscribe and follow along for the ride!

THANK YOU!!
Welcome back! If you haven't seen my search for the Silver Spear Mine, it has some important context for this video: th-cam.com/video/-6G-Zqh3HEQ/w-d-xo.html
What do you want to see next?
More hiking videos
Can the Cerro Gordo hoodies be purchased online?
Yeah, try ro climb the highest nearby mountain😍
Hey brent im morten from denmark 🇩🇰 🇩🇰 looking forward to the Silver mine .. love the Channel
A short hole golf course? The holes could be a couple of mine openings. You would have some amazing tee boxes on some of those mountains. 🏌️♂️
At least once in almost every video I have to remind myself that we are seeing the video, that means Brent survived.
YUP!
Haha, me too!!
I feel myself getting so anxious when he's exploring mines by himself
This comment is so overused on every single video, I can't even tell who the original person is that made that comment but the rest followed in suit
Me too
I bet that bobcat is wearing a pair of 1800 levis.
Lol!!
Using them to keep the kits warm!
Using them for bedding
Probably made its bed outta three pairs
😂
Man, please please please dont push to hard for a TH-cam clip. Life is precious and very very delicate. Take care, loving your videos.
🦊🚬~sounds good to me . . .
True but sometimes life is about taking risks and chances you may not feel comfortable with. Learn from experience and move on!
@@S550STANG ~that sounds good too🚬
I don’t disagree, life is for living. It’s just pretty tricky to move on if you are stuck down a mine shaft halfway up a mountian😂🤣
i dont think Brent is doing it for the yt clip. It's obvious that he loves the mines and the adventure. I wouldnt be surprised if we learn that he goes into the mines more than half of the time without a camera, better yet, find his levis jeans and not being able to document it
Hey Brent. I love watching your progress. You need to be careful. A lot of folks depend on your weekly content. As a side note I was looking at the USGS Geologic Map of the Cerro Gordo Quad. It has a “Silver Spear” mine annotated just north and slightly west of the townsite. It might be about one to one and half miles. Right below the radio towers. You probably have the map “Scientific Investigations Map (SIM) 2851. Cheers.
*Please* get a respirator for when you explore the mines. All that dust you're kicking up is in a large part free silica which permanently binds to your lungs and damages them over time. That's the same stuff that kills potters, construction workers, and along with coal dust, miners too.
I know I posted this before and I'll probably post it every time but I think your longevity is important.
Yes! Exactly my thoughts on every one of his mine exploration videos!
yes please
An air monitoring device would come in handy as well.
Hantavirus with all the droppings too.
I totally agree man you need to get a respirator and keep them lungs fresh and clean !! Don’t go over board to impress your followers, your longevity is more important !!❤️
You know it's a serious episode when Johnny shows up.
Accurate.
Go, Johnny!
Could we get to know a little bit about Johnny? He seems like an interesting guy.
Yes, can we get a little more on Johnny's background please?
Little Johnny is going to get him killed...
I love how much you appreciate the history of this place. It couldn’t have gone to a better person.
As someone that has done winter hikes in the mountains, that snow covered cliff on the lower part of the hart camp was SUPER sketchy. You're lucky you didn't slip.
I hope he's tied off, but you are not shown that line.
I had to stop watching! But knew Brent survived of course, but my BP and HR went up if I had checked no doubt.
In a Hundred years time, people are going to be wondering why there are bits of crashed drones all over the mountains.
LOL, that was pretty funny!
It survived! Unscathed
people will be wondering? I'd like to think it will be Drones finding their ancestors and trying to repair what's left of them, bringing them back to life.
i dont think they will know what drones were and they will be wondering and wondering and wondering
in 100 years all the crashed drone parts will have been recollected and reused by drones lol
Johnny has a little bit of mountain goat in his DNA, skips up the hills easily😎😎😎
I sure hope he doesn't
Probably what happens when you get too lonely.
Almost a little to easily
Must be a local. Maybe Native American. You get up into those mountains, and it’s so gorgeous and freeing. When I was younger, I’d run like the wind up those trails, and scramble over the rocks like a mountain lion. That fresh air & sunshine is exhilarating!

all i could think was “If Brent doesn’t post for a while are we suppose to get a search team and find him & Johnny in one of the mines?”
I always wonder this too lol
I swear we were searching officer, not trespassing
It would be wayyyy too late for that unfortunately
I think I would start looking in Tahiti first . LOL .
@@001desertrat3 rdr2?
You are freaking me out walking on that cliff! I'm so afraid you will fall. Be careful Brent!
From the drone footage, it almost looks like the wreckage at the edge of the cliff might have slid down from where you think the hoist house was. You can see timbers sporadically going up the hill. So maybe that wreckage down below actually IS the hoist house.
I was thinking that too
Was thinking the same thing.
I thought the same as well.
I was going to make the same obsevation. If he could have flown his drone below the cliff there may have been more wreckage at the bottom.
Follow the wash!
Please be careful when you’re alone, I genuinely worry for you sometimes bro. I love this channel. I’m living through you vicariously.
I love how these people who have passed away got remembered this way. Im an European but following this vlog makes that town feel more and more alive even though its abandoned for such a long time
I just recently seen a video about how to deal with a Bobcat.
All you have to do is grab it by the neck with both hands, just hold it far away from your body as it will try to go for your head, then simply start to swing it around and let go when u reach a decent speed.
REALLY !!!!!!!
Brent, I have 2 brand new pair of Red Wing boots. They are size 10 1/2. If you can wear the I will send them to you. They are the 6" boots.
I’d send them
What size does Brent wear ?
@@tinytattoomike7943 size 11 but I will send these this week!
FYI, Red Wings tend to run large so most folks buy from 1 size to a 1/2 size smaller. 10 1/2 may end up perfect.
Whoa! That would be amazing. Thank you. I'm at PO Box 490. Lone Pine, CA 93545. Much appreciated!
Outstanding!
It would be so rad if you started to re plant trees around Cerro Gordo, and bring the wildlife and nature back up to its prime before the people got there, you videos are so rad and I love watching them! I can’t help but think how pristine that wilderness would have been and how tripped it is of life around the town, it would be cool to see a come back with some trees! It appears all the trees of the last went down into the mines lookin for silver!
“I’m scared of heights” while simultaneously being the highest man in the state of California. After Snoop Dogg of course.
Nice one... forced a little chuckle out of my grumpy ass this morning as I'm unenthusiastically getting ready to leave for the 1st of 5 consecutive 16hr shifts...
@@shirl-adellie6893 hope you’re doing well Breh
I wasn't going to comment, because this video is older than the ones. But every time I see Johnny I get so happy and excited. He's so adorable and I love watching him go around like a monkey trying to reach a shiny thing.
Honestly man your talks at the end of videos, reflecting on life and reflecting on your time in this town and seeing how those talks have evolved has to be my favorite part about this channel and you !
Coming from a fairly close city to NYC you don’t really get those perspectives anywhere els and they teach me a lot about what it means to be human ❤️
Fully agree.
True that
as someone else living close to NYC, I agree!
Well stated Connor.🍺🍺
Cheers Connor 🍻
Hands down THE best channel on TH-cam. The beauty of the landscape and the rich history being uncovered is so captivating. Brent's narration is perfectly to the point and you can hear his passion in every word.
Almost as good as Bald and Bankrupt.
Hey my man. I just saw your channel featured on the national French television TF1. You're such a lucky man for living in such a big place and for sharing it.
>about to slip to his death because he's standing on wet, snow covered wood that leads to a sheer cliff and certain death
"Oh shoot."
Hey Brent, I've been an avid watcher of your unfolding Cerro Gordo tale from the very start. Lately I've been noticing you steadily taking greater potential risks. We wouldn't want to see you get hurt, or worse.
This! I was literally scared for you in this episode. We need you alive and well for Cerro Gordo to prosper.
That's what folk do who don't sit in a basement all day living through others maybe you lot should get out there and take some you maybe happier. Nothing worse than nanning mom sorts they ruin young boys and make them into sissies..
I'm a skilled climber, and it is awful to see how they making their trips. Bad shoes, bad handling of the ropes (throwing in the snow), mounting the rope on random items, don't connect the rope on the belt, climbing under fragile structure. It's so bad to see. I saw accidents from more advanced climbers. But this is Russian roulette.
Guy just wants those views and likes for YT. If he dies then so be it ...he does not give a damn so why should you?
@@anwesharry Cerro Gordo will not prosper without water. You are stupid af. Guy wasted his money and his invester's money.
This is the only channel that I'll sit on the chat and wait for the premiers!! SO GOOD
🤯
Seriously! It’s nuts! I follow hundreds of channels and this is the one I get the most excited for! I don’t even know how I wound up on this side of TH-cam, but I’m not mad I did. (Also, he’s a fellow redhead ... ruadh gu brath! ☺️)
@@thomasinajefferson9971 🤯
Would be cool if he had seperate series, one on the history of Cerro Gordo and surrounding area, one on rebuilding the town and another for the cave exploring, 3 ten minute videos per week, this dude would have mad stacks of cash for Cerro Gordo with the views he'd be getting....
@@Drive3SIX5 I agree, but I think he said he only got Internet connection when he drove into town. I think the whole uploading thing is an issue.
always clear the loose obstructions away before entering a cave or mine. you were just begging for all that stuff to come crashing down on top of you at every mine you visited in this video. its better to let it fall in and dig it back out afterward than to have it kill you because you were too impatient.
I absolutely love that Johnny is mining ⛏ in converse 😁. I am a converse diehard fan so just to see him tromping threw the snow and repealing down with them. That just makes me smile 😊 because I do everything in my chucks as well. They are wet and cold at times but they are definitely my glass slipper. ❤️
Everyone needs a Brent and Johnny!
The fact you’ve touched over 700k people with the tiniest sliver of history of these stories and people. Its more than I think they could have ever asked for. Always love the videos man!
This show inspired me to start a side project with the goal of becoming financially free. Thanks Brent! I will probably never own a ghost town, but I'm going to do my best to get to where you are today!
Hard work pays off!!! Best wishes on that 1, never let any thoughts of discouragement enter your mind & in the end you are sure to succeed,
I`m aiming for financial freedom too good luck bud
@@joebass517 Thanks! I'm starting a blog in an effort to make significant income from it and I've yet to go a day where I've had zero visitors! Glad I started this journey!
@@OfficiallyR3levant can you link the blog ?
@@Mathijsv073 I would but this really isn't the place for that. It's also still in it's infancy and such. Have a lot to work on before I start recommending it to people.
If this show were on Netflix, the producers would've spent half the episode on him panicking and trying to get out of the first mine.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Couldn't help but readjust myself in my chair and sweat a few drops on your behalf while watching you try to squeeze back up through that hole...
Every episode is like doing a new chapter on Cerro Gordo in History class.
That bristle-cone pine you were looking at -- that could be thousands of years old. I believe the oldest known one in California a is 4,850+ years. Imagine what it has seen ;)
yeah it was a bristle-cone. They are found all over the high sierra and eastern slopes of the sierra. The Owens valley is on the southern end of its territory.
That may be Piñon, or Bristlecone. Bristlecones are not found in the Sierras, but the White mountains, towards Nevada. You should visit. The best are at around 11,000ft elevation. Be prepared to drive dirt roads, but it’s paved to the Tourist Center. They are amazing, and what a view of the Owens Valley!
Came here just to search for bristle-cone pine, was not disappointed. Hello fellow nerds.
Imagine how many men have peed on it!
Supposedly the location of the oldest one is kept secret. Wouldn't it be a trip if that one is it?
Dude you are friggin crazy! Stay off those snowy cliffs bro! 😂🤣
I am impressed with your tenacity. Researching and then going out to see for yourself what is and isn't there. Be safe. I can easily see why this town and it's mines would be difficult to ever leave.
I'm ready let's go! Best videos on TH-cam, relaxing and wish I had money to donate to help in the restoration. Keep it up Brent!.
Lads you need rope protectors for where your rope. Runs over rock at the entrance. Old fire hose works well, or just a rucksack
He needs a ton of equipment. The last couple of videos of his I have watched I realized that he is going out to these places with virtually nothing. He should be carrying a day pack with first aid, a flashlight, and much much more.
I really wonder what they use for anchors?I notice i don't see any kind of belay rapel device,am I missing something?these are obvious things that are essential.
Yeah, the whole operation seems to be super unsafe, before you even consider they are going into collapsed tunnels.
They mentioned wanting dynamic rope. I hope it’s for a top rope. 😬
Absolutely.
The "structure " down the cliff looks like it simply fell from above.
Concur.
@@thecocktailian2091 Likewise
That's what i think too
Hi, Thank you so much for all your videos. I have enjoyed them all so very much. The music is good too, not loud and raucous like some videos. Thank you for that.
And....
Your bravery, resourcefulness and joy of living is an inspiration. I pray you will be blessed even more , every day.
The bobcat owns the town, Brent's just living there.
I sure hope you are telling someone outside your group where you are going spelunking and when you will check back in. If your TH-cam page suddenly goes inactive for a long time you are probably stuck somewhere in a mine. I have been spelunking and I imagine you guys have bruises all over your body for bringing us this video. Thanks for your hard work and risking your lives for our entertainment. Just letting you know we appreciate it.
We’ll really by the time anyone would 1 know hes not ok and 2 get to where he is even just to the town and then find him after that would probably be 3-4 hours after he needs help
In another video they mentioned calling someone to let them know they got out once they left the mine. So hopefully they've been doing that every time.
Brent,
I appreciate these videos so much. Every week now I look forward to seeing what new discoveries await in Cerro Gordo. Really enjoy how you integrate the history into each video.
Please be mindful when exploring these mines.
I hope to one day visit the town.
Cheers,
Sean
Duuude, you had an article written about you in our local (czech republic) e-papers yesterday! :D I hope I will visit your little ghost town in the future... but I am worried that I would never leave, it is so beautiful there.
You mentioned the fate of the previous owners and that Cerro Gordo took so much from them and that it would be hard for you to NOT compare yourself with them. But I want to remind you that there is one major difference between then and today, one major advantage YOU have: It is us. Your viewers, subscribers and fans of Cerro Gordo. For more than a century, this small mining town was not as known as it is today. It is known across the globe. And together with your loyal subscribers and patreons, you are not alone - like the same previous owners were. You have thousands of people standing by you and helping you to fund your dream. Which is now the dream of all of us as well.
P.S.: Do you remember me from the premiere?
Wow, I really appreciate that and that means a lot. You are totally right and that makes this channel so fun. It really means a lot to be able to share this. Thank you for watching and the note. Made my day.
@@GhostTownLiving After watching your video I had the urge to tell you that, just because I had the feeling you needed to hear it. I am very glad, my words made a difference for you and others felt like it, too.
Have you considered purchasing a metal detector in order to improve dis- & recovering hidden treasures?
By the way, my boyfriend Timothy and I just became new Patreons (Patreon no. 497) - we share an account under my name (Franziska Hassemer) and are looking forward to a lot more Cerro Gordo content!
If covid ever fucks off and I can cross the border I'm definitely coming for a visit to Cerro Gordo when it opens for tourists.
@@Drive3SIX5 Me too. I showed these videos to my husband and we agree that we want to go on a different type of trip. One with some adventure and history. However, with Covid and how much worse in the USA it is, the border remains shut down and we won’t be able to travel for a while. Really sucks. These videos have been great to watch.
Moe Wilson what country are you in
I suffer from chronic insomnia. I find myself often pretending in my mind to be this guy ,when I'm trying to fall asleep just being in all that peaceful solitude 👍🏻🇺🇲
Thanks Brent for bringing all this to us and sharing your life and home with us. Hope you stay Safe in these weird times!
You bet! Thank you for checking out the videos. Appreciate that!
I like how the first image of Johnny shows him fully kitted. No one will, scratch that, in their right mind can complain about his lack of safety gear.
Safety gear doesn't matter when you don't know how to use it. Some of their abseils/rappels seem sketchy as fuck - I always want to see what their anchors look like but they're never shown
This is the second time I randomly went onto TH-cam and the premiere was seconds from starting without even knowing it premieres that day. This is the most interesting TH-cam channel ever, every episode leaves me thinking about it for hours after.
How can anyone dislike these videos their so good! Their not overhyped for the views or likes or any of that. Their just a guy who wants to share his passion, adventures, and knowledge! I always look forward to these vids!
As Far As I'm Concerned BRENT!....You've Put Cerro-Gordo Back On The Worlds Map....Love It All, Keep It Coming From Apple-Country Up-State NY.....
“So I am going to avoid sliding to my death today. “ As he steps on wood, almost sliding to his death. I seriously worry about him . He takes a lot of risks that I wouldn’t even consider...
Yes, I question many of the precariousness of these situations. @24:00 he is walking across this snow covered slope.
@@funkymojo111 he was wearing a helmet tho
Finally, people who think like me. I couldn't watch at some points. Unfortunately, if the mines don't get him, the cliffs will.
Place is a ghost town for a reason, this guy is out of his mind.
If he continues like this, he will not grow very old, I'm afraid. Why does he takes so much risks, I wonder? Is it the deadly TH-cam fever, that killed so many young people already?
I think that hoist house of the hart mine had a deck. And that deck went down the mountain when it collapsed
Yup. Doesn’t look like there’s any way an actual structure could stand down there near the cliff.
That’s some curious footage even with snow that building would have been standing for hundreds of years and that would could have stood for a thousand years, l think people have been mining those mines for many more years then we know
Johnny seems so fun and enthousiastic! I bet he's the life of every party
It truly has been a pleasure to watch this channel grow into what it is now.
Brent you are an incredible man , you ooze charisma in every expression of your being .
Your hand movement , facial expressions, your tone of voice .
I've said this before you bring us right into the scenario your facing and create real life through the lens Absolutely brilliant talent.
I'm going to support your efforts as much as I possibly can .
I speak on behalf of thousands and thousands when I say we appreciate and respect and admire all your endeavours.
Thank you man
As heir of a mountain in a far far away country, it is nice to see others living as one of my family members. I love mining and will keep doing it until I die. Finding treasures is fun such as copper, silver and gold. 🤴🏻
The shot of you sitting on the rock..... heaven... absolute heaven! Thank you for taking us along! I dream of coming there with my husband and daughter!
Ghost Town Living, my husband and I are considering the name Lola ❤️ for our first daughter now. In honor of miss Lola from Cerro Gordo! I have always loved the name, and even have a painting titled “Lola” from years ago! Have a wonderful day, I eagerly await each video you post. I rewatch them nightly when I go to bed, and dream of days past in Cerro Gordo. ❤️🤠👢 What a beautiful town. We would move there in a heartbeat!!!
❤️
That is so sweet
Awesome!
@@limaechonumismatics thank you 🤠
@@trunkmonkeyrodshop-68camar10 thank you!
can't imagine anyone else than Brent better suited to own this town - or be owned by it :D
Now if he can only find a pair of old levi's!😎👖👖👖
More like possessed...in a good way. 👻😁
eh, a decent electrician would've helped.
I wish I could go there and just walk and talk ...hear all the old story's ....be a dream come true
Dude! IMHO, This is one of the best channels on TH-cam.
This episode seemed one of the most dangerous to pull off. Most mine explorers on TH-cam would never attempt to go down those holes. You knew the danger and still did it! Stay safe my friend.
Brent, you don't own the town, and it doesn't own you. You own a ticket to the adventure it offers and a page in its history.
Every Saturday, I'm like a kid before Xmas waiting for the episode to drop. Thanks for sharing your experiences of the fantastic place with us. I hope to visit one day.
except he does own the town, or am i missing your point?
Edit: I just watched the video to the end, i get what youre saying
yeah he does infact own the town lol he purchased it
@@AfterlifeAnubis lol how both of you ruined his post lol
@@ilikeapplejuice8658 Yeah sorry, it only makes sense when you see the bit near the end. I know he owns the town, but as he says, so many came before and others will come after.

Where did you get it? Do you have the link for the store?
I love your perspectives in life, in history, and your internal struggles and frustrations. I can see the love you have with this place. Your work is so important to document the lives and work that is lost to the vast majority of people. The Sliver Mine is just the reference to a journal entry much like your video journal. However your journal is viewable by millions.
I've been watching for months and I'm just awestruck about how beautiful the place is. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Some trail cams could be cool, see if you can get a few shots of the bobcat.
5 minutes in... I swear, every time I watch you exploring the mines, I'm at the edge of my seat, all these more or less loose looking rocks all around you... I have to actively remember that you uploaded, therefore you guys are fine. Sheesh!
Thank you for taking all of us with you on this extraordinary journey! I hope to one day be able to visit Cerro Gordo.
It is quiet amazing how beautiful the mountains are. It hits me every time I watch an episode. Cant see how you can have a bad day waking up to a view like that.
I really appreciate how pure of joy and wonderful these videos are. Thank you for all the work you put into them!
My tradition is on going. Big glas of red wine & cerro gordo. My favorite part of the week. Big thank you to you Brent. I can’t get enough of your channel. Just keep on going.
Much love and appreciation from Sweden🇸🇪🍷😎
im willing to come out and donate my time this spring or summer, im a master plumber as well but willing to help with anything
BRING BACK WATER TO CERRO GORD 😂😂
Cool. Do it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
i would if i didn't lived in belguim :(
I would like to help too but he doesnt answer me :(
You have to wonder why he has no help. Students of UNR Mining or History, UCX or CalStateSomewhere....?
It's just so beautiful up there. The views are to die for. No wonder this town puts such a spell on folks.
You are my new favorite human! 😂 An adventurer, explorer, entrepreneur and maybe a wee bit crazy! (Crazy- Fun, Not crazy-carry mace when visiting)! 😂 Youre Just one of those rare people that’s up for just about anything in the name of discovery! How fun!!!
Your appreciation of the mining towns history is apparent by your knowledge, as well as your appreciation of the land and mountain ranges surrounding it.You never forget to enjoy a sunrise or sunset.
You’re quirky sense of humor and personality is PERFECT for this project! It was made fore you!
If you ever want company or just need a helping hand on an exploration, building, pulling weeds, ghost hunting etc... I’d jump at the chance to help out! Or if you ever need someone to babysit your land while you take a break. That’s actually what I do now ( for the last decade)... live on 13 acres of someone’s land and care for their land and property. (As well as their small farm.)I’m not a construction worker.. but I’m a Biologist/Zoologist, writer, paramedic, journal maker, jewelry maker, farmer, tornado chaser, ghosthunter (until I see one 😂) I can DIY anything & ive lived in the mountains solo for 10 years... so I’m good w being alone!
Be careful out there! So much could happen solo. Thank goodness you have a TH-cam channel, so we know if you suddenly don’t put out a vid!!
Johnny is a good guy, being in such place a guy who basically shows no emotion and stays calm is 1000 times better than somebody who is excited.
All the time. Johnny rocks
I'm glad you weren't going into those mines by yourself. Having Johny along makes it safer for you.
Really appreciate your exploring all this area and sharing. Your are bringing the past to us! You do a great job of communicating to us what you are looking at. Please be safe.
I avoided your channel thinking that it’s has to be clickbait. I finally watched and discovered a place and a man who needed each other. I truly envy your adventures and marvel at your can do spirit. You seem like a man who has found his, field of dreams! Now I have to go there I want to feel the air and absorb the views the best way to learn the history of a place is through osmosis and I would love to rub a little bit of Cerro Gordo into my soul.
I love watching your adventures, I can see why you fell in love with this place ❤️ I wish I could go there sometime! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I love how every week the drone manages to fly itself into something.
Can’t get over how much I love your intro/back ground music!
Percy Hart was obsessed with the place, you say? HaHaHa! Oh my, Mr. Brent! You said you want to spend your life there~ and so shall it be. Many people never find what they want to finish out their life on/in; but you have. Good for you & thanx much for sharing it with us. You sound a bit like an archeologist/anthropologist.
Set up a motion camera near that bob cat cave and around your proprety and then you will find animals and we will have a quest for animals episode. If possible lovely content by the way
I know it must be just me. But when I'm watching the drone shots of the broken down hut, am i the only person who is wondering what that big mine looking hole is in the cliff right next to it?
25:17 right
Same here!
I saw it too. It looked like there were a lot of footprints going to it, so I assumed they saw it.
Came here looking for this comment! “I can’t be the only person that noticed that in the drone shot!”
@@cine_motard 02.59 and 25.17. The first time you can actually see a bit inside. The footprints go past it but not to it.
You guys have so much energy hiking up with all your gear. I love these videos!
Been watching right from the beginning all the way from a place called shipley in the UK and I would love this way of life so lucky
you should look into getting someone to use ground penetrating radar and do some scans of the are and find some new mines (old mines but new to him i guess)
@@303cerebral there could also be cost or accessibility issues or something else preventing it.
I am honored to help out the channel by being a moderator! I’ll be watching in my cerro gordo hoodie!
The scenery is out of this world! Stay safe my friend!
Hi this is David. I think your doing a great job there trying to bring this history back to life and how you tell the Storys about the miner's that live there tell there life there is great it is a beautiful place keep following your heart I watch your videos all the time myself I work in a open pit copper mine thanks for your video's.
Anyone else get a fat smile on there face when brents with Johnny. They got good chemistry. A true exploring duo
Didn't he mention in an early video they used to date at one point?
I kinda worry about this guy out there..
dw, he just wont upload a video for a week and then a million people will come wanting content, he just needs the supplies for 7 days
Absolutely love your videos Brent, me and my husband make watching your videos part of our Sunday morning brunch ritual here in the UK. We cannot wait to visit one day and we think you are so inspiring :) thank you so much for documenting what you are doing. As someone who loves history, it’s such important work - so glad your journey and explorations are recorded. 🥰
You own the town, but eventually if you persist and dont give up, I think you will not be owned by the the town - You will become the town.
Another excellent vid. Thank you.
I can't imagine a more unsafe spelunking scenario than squeezing through small openings covered by easily collapsed debris. And you managed to do it twice in one video!
You really gotta start taking this safety stuff seriously Brent... I'm really worried :(
Me too
One small earthquake and you’re done for......I think I would spend some time clearing the entrance overhangs.
Your content is more compelling than anything I see on Discovery or History Channel. It's amazing!
That diary was such a great gift to be sent. So much history.
Brent, safety first, always!
