I work at the Buchanan #1 deep mine in Buchanan County, Virginia and most of our vent shafts and portals are anywhere from 1500-2300 feet to the mine floor. The shaft you were probing is probably part of the Pinnacle Mine and they mined Metallurgical coal (for making steel). That's the same coal Buchanan #1 mines from the Pocahontas #3 coal seam. Love your videos and clean content!
Well that is really cool. Thanks for sharing that info. I’ve always been interested in that stuff. Thanks for watching.
My best friends husband’s father worked that mine back in the day. Its was one of the major coal mines. That is a rescue shaft. They would lower someone down that shaft from the crane to rescue injured or sick mine workers. We were there yesterday & last night around the camp fire heard stories of mining back then & today for all the males still work as miners/haulers in one capacity or another.
Funny, we mined the coal out from under that rock a few years ago. Can't believe it's still standing.
What an awesome trip. This area has it all! If anyone wants a good mix of trails this area is it. Thanks for having us guys...had a friggin blast! Cant wait for BFR this weekend! AFTERMATH!!!!
I’m so pumped for bfr. Can’t wait.
wow that rock was awesome! I'm most sad I missed that awesome fishing pole, coulda seen one of Jesse's legendary fishing knots in action!
Y’all have so much fun. That’s why I enjoy watching your videos. Hopefully there will come a day when we get to meet you all. You could see the look on Sheri’s face she was enjoying it so much when y’all were at the mine. I really hope that your family never changes because y’all have something so many families would love to have. Thank you so much for sharing all the videos. Your family and Scott’s family are Amazing.
Have Fun Stay Safe And God Bless.
If you were closer and I could afford it I’d have you build me a cage for our Zforce.
Thank you. We really appreciate that.
Wow! I’m more impressed with the amount of litter and trash all around these areas. I once thought West Virginia was a beautiful place, but now it’s just filthy. WV should do something about this.
Went to west Virginia in Aug road Pocahontas trails stayed in Bluefield gold and blue cabins. Went to corner store. Best ice cream
Yes, amazing ice cream.
Been there a couple times, that whole property is awesome. I’d love to hear the history if anyone had ever worked there in the past
Another entertaining video. And the riding was cool too, Lol.
Amazing that is extremely cool 😎. 700 feet. If you noticed the rescue basket is gone from there, imagine riding that thing 700 feet to the surface. I know the fan shaft over near the red brick building on Pinnacle Creek 30 according to some history I’ve read is around 300 feet. There is also some fans very close to where you were that are still intact and not capped.
*_This one was over the top entertaining!_*
_"I wouldn't have been able to sleep at night not knowing where the bottom was!"😂😂😂_
Haha, 🤷♂️
@@TheCanAmCrew This channel is really going places! I consume alot of TH-cam content on a weekly basis. Your videos are still among my favorites to watch!

My brothers and I tried to get up to flag rock this summer on our ATV's but the trail was wash out too much. Disappointed that we couldn't get up there. Nice video.
😮that was pretty cool
We went threw there to flag rock 2 weeks ago after rain, it was ok, but that visco lock on my defender didn’t do to good on that last slick spot, but it made it with a little manipulation 🤣
You beat me to this!!! Was just at the Rescue Shaft this past LaborDay wknd with buddy, our first time there...fascinated us wondering how deep it is!! We tried estimating depth counting seconds till rocks hit bottom(clearly heard water splash) we came up with crude estimate of abt 400ft deep....we were waaaay off!! Lol!! Now get a camera down there, def should us a 360 camera and a halo light that way no matter how it spins you can get view of bottom !!! Awesome and thanks for sharing vid!!!!!
I just signed up as a member 😊
Awesome, we appreciate that.
I'm absolutely doing this next time I'm there. Great idea
Cool Video !!
That was awesome tried to but couldn't smell it
I grew up in Mullens. My friends and I tried to dig to China. We stopped at 700 feet. Now you have your answer of how deep we got!
On the crane the cable spool used to say 700ft but someone has scraped most of everything out of the crane now lol
I work in a small mine in Ontario and our main escapeway shaft is just over 800 ft., not fun to climb the ladderways lol. Another local mine is the deepest base metal mine in the world at nearly 10k feet to the bottom, it has some crazy shafts.
That’s crazy. Thanks for sharing that info with us.
Going to Pikeville ky to ride next weekend Nov 23, 24, 25, 26 you guys should meetup. Coming from Michigan, Pikeville is eastern ky which is 30 mins from west Virginia/ Outlaw trails
Awesome try at the mine shaft!
Thank you, we will have to go back for sure.
you have given me ideas of stuff to include in my tool box lol. i found a retractable pole in the garage last night that would be perfect for this :D
🤣🤣
Best comment - Tim, "Leadfoot."
🤣🤣 that had me cracking up when he said that
That's is leadfoot Betty. You need to put a sticker on the back of her side by side that says WHEN IN DOUGHT FULL THROTTLE OUT!!!! She really put that new front end to the test. If it made it with leadfoot Betty it's almost indestructible because it will break she can break it.. LMFAO I love watching all of your videos and I don't miss one.
LOL That was awesome you guys always have the best time. 700'+ huh that's cool!
Our small group was in that same area the end of October and the Flag Rock trail was the same as your group experienced....it was the roughest that we've ever seen it. We also went to Beer Can Alley and Barker's Creek. Beer Can Alley is getting rough as well. We absolutely liked Barker's Creek, it's becoming one of our favorite outlaw trails !!!!
We did both those trails too. They are always a good time.
This was a great video , I really hope you guys get back there and try to reach the bottom with the gopro. It would be interesting to see whats at the bottom.
Great video..!!! Crap man that shaft takes you to inter earth...lol that's crazy..!! Drone would be cool to fly down it.. keep the great content comein..!!
I tried flying a drone down it. Didn't make it more than about 100ft down
That was definitely fun. You need to test your skills and go ahead and fly your drone down there.
We definitely thought about it but with my luck I would lose signal and the drone would just drop into the Abyss lol.
You'll lose the obstacle avoidance about 80ft down and the drone will try to fly into the side. Almost lost mine there a couple months ago
I work at cumberland coalmine in southwest pa. Our elevator shaft is 1100ft! About a 2min elevator ride! Really good video as always!!
Man, that's insane.
That was pretty cool to see how deep that I was awesome
I lowered a go pro and flashlight down there last summer using a 1,000 foot spool of rope it used about 3/4 of the spool so was guessing it to be around 7-800 feet
What did you see ??
Not near as exciting as we were hoping, just water.
VERY AWSOME VIDEO MAN WOW 705 FEET JUST INSANE DAMN. I SENT A PM ON FB ABOUT UR DRONE MAN I LOST MINE!! I FLEW IT INTO A TREE A ROCK HOUSE TOTAL BUMMER MAN ILL BUY IT IF YOU STILL HAVE IT!! AWSOME video guys🤘✌️
Coal mine vent shaft
Need a deep sea reel with a cut down rod.
Great video😂, I’ve yet to find that mine
I know of 2 mine shafts in that area. This is usually the one we go to.
Only one I know of is tinys, and it’s covered but got a hole to drop rocks in, good place to take pics too
I’ve heard somebody say that shaft was over 1200 deep, back when the crane still had the wire spool on it, it read all the way to 1000 but when we went back in September all the insides from the crane were gone lol
There is a chance it is deeper but maybe that capped it as some point.
@@TheCanAmCrew I’m sure. I know it’s gotten pretty popular and every time we go it seems to get a little shallower i guess from the shear amount of rocks at the bottom lol
It probably has several hundred feet of water in it now. That would explain the difference of the cable from when the mine was active.
Also now that I’ve finished the video, you’ll NEVER catch me back down there after dark. Did it once never again lol
🤣🤣
You need a spool of parachute cord next time. It would be epic.
Use some glow sticks on your set up.
That’s spooky
It definitely is haha
Drop a rock next time and count one wine thousand two one thousand that’s roughly 10 feet every one thousand
Reminds me of the Blair Witch project
Dang that is insane! Think you can get a camera and light down there?
Those mines are 1 mile in and down
I live beside one that is over 2000 feet deep
That’s pretty crazy.
Awesome video does your axle puller work with krx they are a pain to get out
The puller will work on the front axles for sure but the rear is to big. We sell an attachment with them that may work but we have never tested it.
Are any of yalls tablets water resistant? Also great content as always!
Yes. They have a waterproof rating.
The shaft is 1400 ft from the surface.
Awesome. Thanks. That’a pretty wild.
This was what is called an intake air shaft which was also an escape shaft and did have a basket attached to that crane. There were three total in this mines. I serviced and maintained all three of these from time to time.
Did Ziggy point you to the trail behind his place up the hill? We went through it a couple years ago. was a muddy mess and a few washouts. Was fun
He didn’t but we’ve been up there before.
Cool video, my one question is did the line on the rod come off that spool or was the spool brand new? Either way. Thats deep!
The line on the extra spool was brand new. The line of the rod was on there for awhile. Together it made 725 feet of line. Pretty wild.
Do you think you guys will make it out to Aoaa again? I should just get up early and come out. Would be cool to meet you all and see Aftermath.
Probably not anytime soon but won’t rule it out completely
That one is 800 feet
It’s 705. We measured it. Unless it has 95 feet of rocks in it lol.
How can I get a caged built by yall? I’m in miami, Fl… lol
You can put a deposit down to save the date and bring it up when it’s time to be built haha. I wish we could ship but we’re a small company and shipping cages is outrageously expensive.
It is very frustrating seeing the amount of trash people leave behind at beautiful spots like this. These spots are becoming fewer and farther between because of crap like that. People who leave their trash like that don't deserve to see these beautiful spots... just my opinion... also.. not saying anyone from TCAC left trash... obvious that it was there before TCAC arrived.
I agree. It’s unfortunate that folks do that. I can’t imagine someone’s mindset when driving along and just tossing trash out.
@@TheCanAmCrew Well, as a fellow rider, I appreciate what you all do for the scene. I appreciate that you let us tag along to live vicariously through your GoPro cameras. A lot of us aren't able to travel as far or often as you all do, and I thank you for sharing the trailed beauty of this country with us.
Don't you have to wear helmets in west virginia?
Ok the Hatfield McCoy trails yes. Dot or snell.
