      Chigg is a really cool guy but also is in a unique position as are any other youtubers that share what they do here in that he's getting paid to do what he loves best, so as long as we keep wathing he can keep doing his thing. More power to Chigg and those like him and youtube I say.
      Its a shame YT wasnt aroiund in 1981 or I am sure some one would have helped for longer than the authorities could.

    I note some comments criticizing you for not checking ALL of the holes in the area. That is easy for them to say because they are sitting at their keyboards in the comfort of their homes. I wonder if they would be up to the task of doing what you do. I am an ex-soldier and have experienced desert conditions so I say "a job well done and keep up the good work"

    I'm often amazed at the nbr of comments offering advice. Some are actually good, some make me wonder if they've ever watched any of your other videos.They don't make many like you, Beau. I wonder how many others were asked to help before they found you. And it's not about making a video, it's about using your skills and knowledge to help someone. This wasn't the first and I'm sure it won't be the last time that you answer the call for help.

    I highly recommend, after a few years in the desert myself, you get into the habit of rolling up all windows, closing vents and most importantly, closing the door every time you get out of your vehicle. There's all kinds of critters that want to climb in your vehicle: summer, for shade and cooling, winter for the warmth.

      Too bad ypu couldn't rig yhe truck with some repelling rope and spider man your way down or up. It did look the be that wide of a hole. That's just from my perspective. Anyhow, I don't blame you for not doing that. I think it would have been safer with two people in case you get hung up(no pun intended). Good work so far and God bless

      Just an idea about the drone. Does it have enough metal in it to retrieve it with your big magnet? If so, tie the magnet rope right under the GoPro so you can see to land in the right place.

    • @AldoSchmedack
      @AldoSchmedack 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      CHIG you need a winch to raise and lower, just an idea. Also I see a tape measure, old beer cans, prescription bottle, otc bottle (tylenol), mayo type jars, drone, a hell of a big bug and more. Also when sending drones down stay away from sides as the draft is there, and tie fishing line to it to retrieve it in case. No body. Anduse a coat hanger to retrieve. If drone is not wet it is still good. Check opposite direction the BF said. Use two phones and face time to coordinate. You need a helper! ;)

    A cool little idea- take a big river fishing rod and reel or even a sea fishing rod. Get a reel with a line counter that will tell you how many feet/yards/meters of line you have out. Use braided line that is strong enough for a camera(s) and also that won't chafe much on rock. I love watching your channel, Chig! 👍

    The things you do at your age is phenomenal. I have a lot of respect for that, things can go wrong by yourself in an environment like that. Same goes for when you metal detect streams and rivers. A. rave individual you are. I’m in my late late 40s and I’m not sure if I could do some things you do without a buddy in case things go south. Much respect. I used to drive OTR…the first places I would look are garbage dumps and landfills…truckers use random dumpsters. A cadaver dog would be optimal in those types of places along his route that day.

    At least we know the drone will be down there for awhile. Staged some mock pickup attempts standing on the roof with my mini 2 on the ground. Even my mid size fishing magnet had troubles. Only the rotors stuck on. I would still recommend contacting dji refresh and telling about the navigation problem. I've lost a few myself and they replace them every time.Thanks for the continuing adventure.

    Just seeing all the debris at the bottom shows how unstable the walls of that shaft are, definitely a hazard! sorry about the drone, they do make tethered drone "crawlers" that even have robotic arms that you can drop into holes like those to recover things, might be something to check out.

    No usual outtro for the video definitely lends itself to the serious business at hand.

    Well, there's the drone looking like a white crab. Worth a look. Stay safe dude.

    The Drone Eating Mineshaft. Awesome your going to get that Mini back. Now camera facing down above it. The use a stick to get another line over the hole with the grapple. YAY!

    That would be easy to recover that drone, and although completely flooded that looked like an ore cart. Maybe give the location to one of the mine exploring channels to see if they can go down and recover the drone, for most probably be a fun thing to do. You really need to go down to have a look in these mines.

    Hi there! This is great you are willing to help out in this way. I suggest a 360 degree camera for lowering into areas such as this. You would have full control of visuals, vs. being at the mercy of the rope/line which turns your camera where it does.

    Chigg,
    Very clever rig, I could see everything including the poor drone.
    Isn't there some kind of a retrieval arm you could lower with a line on the actual clasp to grab into the drone,
    something like the old arcade arms but tighter clamping?
    I betcha you could find something online, no good now, that would do the trick.
    I hope that poor girls' family will be able to get some closure.
    Cheers,
    Rik
