    I have answers for you.
    The piece of tin you found was likely covering a prospect, or an explosives stow box. The cable you found was likely a part of a headframe for pulling cars from a decline or lowering men into a shaft. Follow the cable, and you'll likely find remains of a headframe and a shaft/decline. You may also find the remains of a tram. The banana-split pipe you found looked like a water line to supply drilling tools to the face or a survey bore-hole for prospecting at depth. The PVC frame with screen material on it is a fairly modern (albeit 1970's and newer for standard, but sometimes as old as late 1880's) screen from a hand-made sluice box. Likely prospector level, not operational. The attached wire was likely there to act as an electrode to attract calcium or some other material to attempt to refine the placer material somewhat. It could also have been routed through the PVC as a means of connecting power to a water pump on one end of the sluice to a power source on the other. The lone piece of PVC you found was likely a makeshift claim stake or a sleeve for a prospectors bore-hole. The area you walked to was secondary growth, which means it was completely cleared out for operation. The concrete you found looked like foundations to an assay house, a kiln, and/or an onsite reduction mill for concentrating ores. There's a 90% chance that you've just found yourself an old mining camp.

    You should do some research and see what you can find out about that underground structure. Maybe do a 2 day camp there and another video to explore that more. We would all love to see it.
    AMAZING find. Would love to see more of that structure and whats under that metal. It looked like another bunker. There was something under it.
    All the green moss reminds me of the pacific northwest
    Oregon and Washington are like that everywhere. Even in the big cities. Another great video. Thank you for sharing

    I had an experience in a forest camp ground. It had rained, it was October/November the rain stopped and it was overcast. night fell. We turned out the lights and couldn't see our hands in front of our faces. No sound at all but our breathing. Really spooky. we finally decided that it was so dark, nothing else could see either so wouldn't be bothering us. :)

    @RyanGr33n 3 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    My guess is, 60 years ago that wasn’t “the middle of nowhere”, concrete is usually all that’s left when houses that old are abandoned, and digging down provided natural air conditioning and refrigeration. Probably an old farmhouse or even a garage/barn/workshop. That would explain the tractor tire as well as why there’s a clearing there in the first place.
    I find random debris out in the woods all the time, storms blow crap for miles before it finally comes back down, especially here in tornado country.

    • @michaelzimmerman8959
      @michaelzimmerman8959 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's kind of how I believe it, maybe a house, the concrete block were part of the foundation. The kids were probably playing with that tractor tire out in the yard.

    The forest near the “circle “ was all second growth timber. That area was clear cut at some point. Look for old maps of the area. Most likely you will find an old farm or government facility.

    • @philconey11

      @Katie Rae - Virgin or 1st growth wouldn’t have been such small trees so close together, it would be larger trees with less undergrowth. Classic picture of a clear cut forest with unmanaged second growth.

      @Katie Rae Younger, smaller, spaced trees near an area of much older, larger, richer woods. Another tell is the simplicity of the flora in second growth versus old-growth.

    I know this is an older video. But I've only found you down a rabbit hole in this last month. This one appears to me that it was someone's home of some sort. Maybe during a war... but the thing that has me in awe is that no matter how remote. Someone called that home. Someone walk in the very place that you did. I love exploring. I love learning what is around the next turn or over that hill. There truly is something exciting about the unknown.. good luck, good health and keep on exploring.

    Ever since you showed that thumbnail photo, I've been anxiously awaiting this incredible adventure! It was not a disappointment. Great adventure, Luke. While living in AZ a good friend of mine was an American native, an Apache of the Chiracao (sp?) tribe. He taught me a lot about exploring the desert canyons and while hiking he hardly spoke, always using hand signals. Having military training I understood his signals. He spoke of his ancestors and that their spirits still roamed in those canyons. To be loud and obnoxious was to offend those spirits. Anyway, I love to bushwhack...you never know what you'll encounter. For me it's an incredible way to find new camping sites, mostly stealth ones. All of your gear from your backpack to the "Big Bird" tarp and groundsheet :), to the cool bug net and that awesome stove, the appropriate attire and layering made this a cool video, belying the experience and skills you possess. Every time I see you extract one of the "Real Turmat" meals from your backpack it reminds me that I am seriously tiring of Mountain House and the Pantry meals. I've been taking leftover chili, spaghetti, and meatloaf on my trips. I wonder if a distributor is located here in the U.S. for Real Turmat. Time to research.

      Very impressive and what i noticed was the complete silence. No birds, not a sound from the forest around it. Just silence. Like even the birds knew terrible things happened there.

      I can say that I haven’t had a cell phone stop working in at least 7 or 8 years, maybe longer. The software and tech on dedicated GPS devices is literally 20 years behind cell phone apps like GAIA GPS. If I did a ton of off-trail backpacking in extremely remote parts of the country, I’d get one as a backup to my cell phone, but other than that I wouldn’t touch one.

I run a 26,000mAh battery backup and the OnX Hunt app. I download 5, 10, and 100 square mile maps of the area I'll be in ahead of time, and run in airplane mode to maximize battery life. On a 4 day paddleboard trip in a chain of islands in northern Wisconsin this past summer, I think I recharged my phone once? That included taking a ton of photos and video. I got back and I hadn't even come close to using 25% of my battery bank. It still showed full available power. Never failed me once, despite being completely submerged (phone was in my pocket, battery bank was high & dry in a bag strapped to my board) when I fell off in the middle of a lake. Modern phones are awesome!

      I would argue there’s benefits to both. In a place you’re not familiar with if something were to happen and you would need emergency assistance, it would be good to have a color that stands out so you could possibly be found more easily, rather than becoming another statistic David paulides would put in one of his books. If you’re wanting to avoid being seen, then it might not be a bad idea to have camouflage

    Against this vermin, we had dissolved tobacco in alcohol and rubbed ourselves with it from time to time. Was also good against all other insects. Mosquitoes would have eaten you otherwise. To today, our equipment was already completely different. You had to find your own food on the way, which was not always so nice.
