:Exploring Abandoned Anything can be dangerous or Deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any Abandoned structure. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal and when possible, i seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks & responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. Their could be nails, Asbestos, Falling concrete soft floors, animals or other hazards.

You really need a helmet cam mount to keep you hands-free during a difficult, or dangerous climb.
Great vid though !!
Agree 💯!
True
I support this statement. 👍😎👍🇺🇸
yes
We care about you Post!
The things this man does to show us stuff is amazing
Nice peanut butter gamer pfp
He should combine the two and get some grappling hooks or something to unblock that spill-way, with that much flow it should be fairly easy to pull the logs upwards and let the water break up the obstruction!
I get the idea that if video didn't exist, he'd still e doing these things for his own fun.
@@trif55 he knows better than to attempt what could be a fatal act.
I love how excited you get it's contagious
I would not be concerned about a monster, but a monster failure of the dam. Thanks for sharing such a scary, unpredictable structure. Looking at the water as it swirls into a whirlpool, is mesmerizing.
I was more concerned with a failure of a ladder.
the beavers have definitely stepped up their game.
I know you've traveled down to PA before to check out the abandoned turn pike section, you might like to see the ruins of the Austin Dam and Paper mill in Austin, PA. It's a pretty neat site.
I have been there before
Check out the Ute-Ulay abandoned mine site outside of Lake City, CO for a real mind blower.
Every state needs their own post 10
Let the cloning commence!!!
every county.!!!!
There's already some trying to imitate post 10 on TH-cam
@@JM-yx1lm There is no other like post 10! He's so cool.

The pipe from the dam to the powerhouse is called a penstock. If the structure is an open-top box for the transmission of water, it is called a sluice. Turbines can be designed to operate under different heads of water. The flow needs to be consistent for the head.
In Michigan and other places where low-head power stations were built in the early days, those plants fell out of favor because of maintenance costs of the machinery. The basic machinery costs are not much different depending on power output, so a larger power station to provide the equivalent of 10 small stations would not cost 10 times the cost of one but only about maybe 2 to 3 times the cost of one small one but only one set of operators instead of 10 sets of operators(there are the big savings). It would be similar to a saw-mill making electricity for the mill, but after work hours the electricity would be sent to the homes and businesses around the mill to keep a steady load on the generating equipment.
"It's so warm down inside this hole."
Truer words have never been spoken!

Maintaining Osha ladder compliance while exploring an abandoned failing dam. My hero sir
It's the storytelling that goes with the footage that makes this work so well. Thanks for doing this.
So you know for later. The tubes to the turbine plant from the control structure are called Penstocks. The Power you talk about through the penstocks downstream is called Head. so a 12ft drop in elevation is 12ft of head. The wood in the control structure slots are called stop logs. Water control and old hydro is fascinating. Thanks for the look at cool history!
this makes me think of the back-end of the facility in Portal. Something about you climbing up that ladder, I was immediately flashed back to escaping while the deranged disembodied voice of GLaDOS tormented me.
i was really hoping you would go back when it was raging, very cool and scary to think it could burst anytime
if they unclogged the discharge the water wouldn't build up as high.
You should hide a trail camera prior to major weather events, so you might capture the topping and possible failure of the dam.
this is a great idea!
Should of brought a bigger rake!! 🤘🤘
The US Military should destroy that dam for training.
I don't think they need any more practice committing war crimes
they don't even need to remove the dam completely, just explode the spillway and call it a day at the very least.
You probably shouldn't have went in there Post 10. At any time the dam could have broke free and washed you away in a second, either at the entrance with the wood or the hole you went down in. Even if you thought you had a quick exit that was no guarantee. I know you have training and somebody might have been with you but I personally think it wasn't safe to go in this time. We want you to stay safe so we can keep watching Post 10 videos but don't take risks for the sake of making a video. I still enjoyed it but stay safe. 👍
Good grief! I was yelling NO! NO! When you went down the hell hole. My husband came to check on me - lol. You have got to stop giving me palpitations young man! I am old. Then you went BACK down the other stairs and I’m yelling hurry hurry! I figured the video wouldn’t have been posted if you bought the farm, so I kept watching. Stay safe Posty. We love your enthusiasm. Very interesting trip.
How do ya find all these cool places to explore? I can only find trash and carpets out here
Hello Posty,
Yo, the video was interesting and informative! I know you're careful, but that looked a little dangerous.😱 please take good care of yourself when you visit such places!
E
Post 10 should make shirts to sell that says, "3 points of contact"
Yes! I use the three points of contact while I'm at work on ladders, and lemme tell you, as soon as I only have two points of contact or less, I trip or almost fall. I never have with three points. It's a literal life saver
That dam is scary, I was somewhat worried for you but I know you know all safety factors.💚💚
I definitely treat water with respect, not sure why but turbulent water and crumbling structures give me the heebie-jeebies lol 😬
Absolutely. Mother nature in general should be respected
Hey everyone I don't like highly dangerous death traps!!!... yea your point is?
Post you be careful. Looked like that one rung on ladder getting wobbly. Could fall out. That concrete on the inside looks BAD! Suppose with that dam over capacity and the weight of that water it could easily bust open. Do remember you going through there before. That water just wasn't so high. Be careful and take care. ♥️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊♥️
😲 Oh my gosh! look at that discharge 😂
Interesting that there was a graffiti referencing G.G. Alliin. Nice one Post10! And that was one of the scariest ones you have made. Thanks for sharing this.
Wasn’t he from Maine? I think that’s where this guy is.
@@yankees29 he was from New Hampshire
@@crappyatlife ahh yes thank you. I knew it was north eastern US.
In the first video, when he went and explored this place for the first time, you can see similar graffiti at nearly every level of the dam. Up at the top behind the gate, down in the lower water area where the other entrance is, and at least 1 or 2 in the main dam tunnel itself. I kinda figured someone came through and had put their tag up at every milestone (like climbing down a ladder or finding a way in, etc) but I didn't know who it was or that they were (im guessing) a youtuber.
I HEAR YA. LOOKS LIKE A BIT OF FUN WHEN THE WATER IS HIGH. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON MY FRIEND.
I look forward to Post10 notifications, always something interesting.
That's some raw power, my friend! Be careful out there!!
Thanks for filming!!!
17:57 left lower side of the screen, a squirrel running on the log as Post gets near?
Great eye! I think it was a squirrel...
Plot twist:it was a beaver that was going to block the dam
I’m just glad you got out safely Post! I always worry about you when your in those sketchy places so as always take care and god bless man!!!
4:38 The way that water sounds is the way the wind sounded the night that I found my dog abandoned on top of a mountain in frigid temperatures in February.
NOAA weather said that at that time it was 40 mi sustained winds and gusts up to 60 some miles an hour the temperatures were 20° f not sure what the windshield would be. But when the wind would rip around the mountains and the woods it would scream and howl along with that rumbling sound.
Great work Post10. Love your content brother. Keep up the great work you do. ❤️✝️❤️👍🇺🇸🙂
Love your fascination with water. Your passion is infectious. I've always loved flowing water.
Whereas I am fascinated by water, I also have recurrent nightmares about it, normally to do with big surges of water. 😊
I haven't watched TH-cam in a while and I still love your videos
U are my fav youtuber no lie
Have you reported this dangerous dam to any local, state, or federal authorities?
Thank you for bringing us this very exciting video presentation, it is fantastic to see and for that matter hear the power of the water. A great way of dealing with this problem dam is to remove it and build a new one in its place. It would be a very positive step to be producing electricity from this river again. Thank for taking us back into this dam again, the people have really appreciated this.
Nice to see this place filmed again. Definitely a bad dam.
Thank you so much for these videos. This just scratches such a deep itch I have about seeing dams/waterways/water structures at normal capacity vs flooded capacity. I am elated.
A friendly reminder that old power stations had alot of asbestos in them, some ppe might be needed if you go into one.
Oh so this is how adventurers find dungeons...
Walking around on a crumbling dam is literally the nightmare I have been having since I was a kid. Cant go back because it is falling apart as I walk so I have to keep going farther and farther away from safety.
If you were serious about your channel, your craft, damn busting, you'd get in there and bust that damn beaver dam!!! Jk 😜 great work as always
the things u do for us just to see this dam almost break is amazing thank you
Been watching you a while post but never commented before. Hope you're doing well. I hope you notify someone when you go places like these so if something happends people know where to look. A helmet generally may be a good idea too, even a short fall off a ladder and your head could snack the concrete hard enough for serious, possibly incapacitating, damage. Cheers friend, thanks for the great content.
That dam looks rock solid. I don't think its going anywhere for years.
Wow Postie, that is one sketchy dam. Love the super flow. I'd like to see this location in the spring. Thanks.
I like the shots of when we were last there. And yes I saw the first ones you did when you went inside OMG WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES 😃
Keep it up bro. And stay safe.
I was legit scared for you in this one
You have way more guts then I do id never step foot in that dam when the thing is almost topping that would be horrifying 😳
Really glad you didn’t do something stupid like walking across that dam. I know some idiots would-have tried it but if it had given away there would be no coming back from that one. I know you do but take care and be safe. I enjoy watching your videos from the UK. Nice to see a bit of history from where you visit. Thank you for some great videos. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Great video! Appreciate your hard work!
Would be great to see a spring thaw vid, if the dam lasts that long. Please be careful
Got my Spider Friends shirt on, it's very reassuring.
Crumbling dam, hi-vis jacket. Yep, looks like Infra to me :D
Great content, man.
Great shots and explanations!!! Very interesting!!! Thanks!
Thanks for the cool 🥶 video, it's very scarry for the people that's living downstream.
Wow man I just love how you do the updates on the places you explore awesome video post 10
Ty post 10 for all ur footage and taking us on your adventure. Keep safe.
That sure was scary. I know you will take care out there Post10. I think I might have nightmares tonight lol
one of the scariest structures ever
we have the same style of dam. built in the roosevelt era. it's about 20 times that size though! massive! it has issues buts still work
Pretty cool would like to see it in the winter, only thing I have out here is desert and cactus
Love your stuff man!
I know you're trained to explore abandoned stuff, and I know you've weighed the risks before even going near these structures - but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified for you when I see all that water
I really hope you let someone else know where you are when you are on your adventures. Please stay safe. Thank you for your informative posts.
WoW 😲 As always great video. Please be careful!
Going down inside the dam made some cool adventure Post , stay safe man 👍👍🇺🇸
Please be careful. I never had a drone but I wish you had one on days like this. It's cool seeing down in there but well, maybe I watch too many movies.
Love what you do. I've been watching every video since I found you some old all new. So stay safe so you can always make more k.👍👍😊
Beautiful place, with multiple graffiti tributes to gross GG Allin.
GG was definitely pure filth.
I saw him live and he threw a shit right in my mouth.
"Poop smoothie"
Two Girls One Cup comes to mind💩💩
That first Jabbers record is killer. The songs are dope and the band is tight. Ass face baby!
That place was awesome the first time but all the water now was wild! Thanks for another awesome video! Stay safe and stay healthy!
This vid gave me a lot of anxiety!
Great follow-up video. 👍
Look at all those BEAUTIFUL Fall New England colors!!!
Thank you for the interesting videos. Stay safe!!
POST10 risks his life to bring us a fantastic video. Take care POST10 🤞
Really spooky place!!
Great video!!
👍👍👍👊😎
Stay safe post💪💪👍👍
One of your best vids. Cool. Stay safe bro
Dude's out here literally living my nightmare and is all jolly about it.
Loving the fact someone has climbed in there to spray paint gg allins name . That's some commitment to punk rock
Wow what a huge difference. Super interesting and fun to look at. Althou do be safe it looked quite scary
Thanks great video. Chris from England
The turbine flow pipe seems like an Inefficient way to turn one. Was this used a lot in older dams? Anyway to do a video of one still in use around you?
You need to get some height between the water and the turbine (called head) it's actually a pretty efficient way of doing it, think of putting your thumb over the end of a hose.
@@lvthud except there isn't much height. The two pipes on each side would drain that reservoir in less than an hour.
I am not sure if I can visualize just how this particular one was set up, but this looks like a common turn of the century small hydroelectric dam. My mom worked at an old hospital in Maine that had one nearly identical that only powered the hospital. I seen one in the in Midwest still intact in Niles Michigan. I don’t know what it powered. But at the time, they often built many small ones that just posted a few lamps in a handful of buildings.
if the pipe gets narrower as it goes down the hill will generate a lot of pressure, more then enough to turn one turbine.
As guitarcheolgy says, this set up isn't meant to power a large town, maybe a single factory or small village.
Wonder if whoever put up the "Posted" sign is a Post10 fan because this damn definitely got the Post10 assessment treatment and was definitely "Post10-ed" :D
2:40 you reaction is why I love you videos Post 10. Keep up the great work!
Another awesome video!! Thanks Post.. Be safe!!
I was scared for you Post! Please stay safe sir!
What are the years on that tombstone? Looks like there may even be times.
Yeah, kinda looks like they have the same year date at the end, whatever this is memorializing only lived like a week or two, maybe a year tops if that say 2020 and 2021
Love your videos and your passion
My Mans is back with daily videos
I really enjoy your videos thanks so much
A lot of these sites are being demoed and the river restored. Keep tabs on this local.
You need your own show..An educational show of some kind..Viewers would learn so much
God! I am getting scared just watching this dam so up close and personal!! Be safe!!
It's ok to take a day off (Im not good at that lol)! You do need rest every once in awhile. But thank you for bringing us back here. I hope you an get the authorities attention and get this dam fixed. So sketchy! Be safe. Were you near any of those tornadoes yesterday?
No none of those tornadoes were near me. Thank you. They were all in Rhode Island and Connecticut
@@post.10 I was hoping you were going back to clear that blockage .... SORRY but you got me hooked on seeing you clear blockages
Thanks for sharing the raging waters! @18:00 - did something scamper down that log on the left?
man you are a brave guy i never would have gone any where near that wooden door area . but very cool . secretly i wanted to see the dam fail just saying . but at the same time dont want no one hurt . but can you imagine how cool it would be to get on film . be safe brother dont put yourself in danger to do you tube videos . . take care be safe and best wishes to you and ghost ten .
