Here's the prison tour video - th-cam.com/video/zAUumHaPl7M/w-d-xo.html
It's a Eastern spotted box turtle
Instead of a cave in could it have been back fill ? Also you should have air meter as to keep you safe !
@@jimrossi7708 Jimbo, he didn't go in deep enough. As such, no need for an air meter.
Why did this prison close down?
very scary
You made me laugh when you said 'I can hear you all yelling at me' because I was saying, get out of there, it is so dangerous. Brilliant video,
10 minutes into the video and I haven't seen any spray paint, that's amazing. What a beautiful part of the country
My grandma worked and retired from there!
Where is this, I would love to take a tour someday.
@@monicahyland8641 Petros Tennessee! About 50 minutes west of Knoxville
Does she talk about what happened in there? Any good stories ??
Y'all get ticks in there?
@@dakmycat3688 James Earl Ray (assassinated MLK) was there when she worked there. She was pretty much a mom to him. My dad when he was a kid got to meet him a few times and even ate with him. Said he was a really intelligent guy.
Common Box Turtle. Black Rat snake is nonvenomous. I'd been worried about rattlers and copperheads tho.
The minute someone goes in a mine with collapsed beams, I have to nope nope nope out of watching it. My grandad had a lot of mine stories. 🥶
Glad to see you survived though, since you posted the video…
I was at Brushy Mountain area last year visiting for a few days. Beautiful part of the country.
another great video! there's something so mesmerizing about old abandoned buildings in the middle of the woods
Liked for butthead
I think the same way 💜
Glad you are still in Tennessee. We have lots of interesting as well as beautiful places to see. If you have moved on, then you are always welcome to return.
That’s a beautiful prison camp!
I agree we so have a lot of beautiful places here!
Thank you Mr.Radford,I didn't know you owned Tennessee.👍
Thank you, Chris! ❤️
I like your hat, man! Watch out for Jason!
Amazing how quickly abandoned structures get overgrown back East. In the West, you'd STILL be able to walk up to the mine, see the mine, no problem.
I love seeing things like this. My papaw and my uncle were both coalminers in Kentucky. It means a lot to see places like this. The mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky are absolutely beautiful. Great video ♥️
My mom's family were all coal miners in KY, Floyd County
@@Cutter-jx3xj My family was from Bell County 🙂
Awesome! I just moved to Northern Georgia from Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Spent the past three years finding and hiking decommissioned and overgrown logging roads. Love finding abandoned ‘artifacts’ in the wilderness. Great video and this will be my first adventure out here.
I live 30 minutes from there Chris, are you still in town ? I knew people on both sides of the bars up there and one of them hated it. Good stuff brother. God Bless
Chris, you have brought hours of watching and discussion pleasure to myself and my family. Thank you. 👍
That mountain side is so beautiful, it makes the hike look so enjoyable. I would use the old timber in the mine shaft. I love the history behind the prison and that area.
Yup beautiful materials almost as pretty as your picture⚘🌞
Love these videos for the crunch of leaves and twigs as you hike around. Seriously good ASMR
You are so lucky to be able to visit such amazing places, so glad you share them with us, thank you
Word.
@@duetoronomy Sentence.
So so nervous when he walks into these situations..love the silence and nature. The sound of being outside is my favorite. Thank you ❤️
Dude, I’m a hiker and a backpacker, and I love your channel because you have great content and great style. 👍🏻👍🏻 Another great adventure, thanks.
Super video, Chris. I admire your tenancity and bravery in entering those mine areas. Appreciate you, and your keen interests! Thank you for sharing them.
I was going to say. I think you and Lamont already did this one? But it seems you came all the way back to continue your discoveries at this relic. Fucking brilliant man I love it - no stone unturned!
I live in eastern Kentucky and we have abandoned mines all over the place. When I was little and didn’t know any better I’d craw back in them with a flashlight till I couldn’t go any further.
Always a joy to watch your videos. Good job at the information and history of the places you visit. Stay safe.
Thanks Dave
Always enjoy when I see another video pop up! Thanks for the (years now?) of exploring for us!
Having prisoners work is a great idea. Do they actually work today? Seems like they are coddled and then released.
Those mines looked so crumbly and dangerous. I was on pins and needles hoping you would be okay.
Great job! It’s tough to hike up and down all of that!
Nice video. You are on the old mine trail at Frozen Head. On up the mountain is more mines, one called the mega mine that is tricky to get to but has about a 20' x 15' opening blocked by an 8' fence.
👍I’m a 3rd gen coal miner in Utah. Always cool 2 c how they did it back in the day!!
Chris hope all is well in your travels looking forward to the next video stay safe!
Thanks so much for walking through all of that to get the video, fascinating look at past treatment of people and how little things have changed. But thank you because the more we learn the more our knowledge can change our futures
Thanks Chris, a very interesting look at what has been left behind from back in the day.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Loved this video, I have seen many Brushy Mountain ghost hunting Video's and never heard of the coal mines, so interesting Thanks for taking that long hike up the mountain. I thought it was kind of funny whispering in the mine, but I probably would of done the same thing not knowing what was there.
Hey Chris; We enjoy watching your videos, you do a great job. I love history. My Dad worked in the coal mines in West Virginia back in the late "40's
I am one of the people that you heard screaming at you 😂..My uncle is a retired coal miner and he was in a collapsed mine accident right before he retired..The doctors said it was a miracle that his heart had not been punctured ..He was working in one of the safest, and high tech mines in the country and the ceiling caved in on them .I know you were not in that type of situation however, I was still worried that the same thing could have happened to you..I am like that whenever, I watched someone take a risk that could end with a potential accident ..I was also wondering why you were whispering? so it seems you have your viewers figured out .I am always watching your videos but I rarely ever comment. Anyway keep up the good work and watch out for snakes..
what?
@@Blox117 watch the video
My mom's family is from Floyd County Kentucky, McDowell and my family have been coal miners for generations. I have lost family, to bad air, cave ins, explosions and mines flooding. My grandfather died when I was 3 from a heart attack. It was a side effect of black lung. Coal miners are a whole different breed of man. I am proud of my roots.
You sure do visit interesting places, thanks for taking us along
The structures were built in quite excellent condition considering the location is in the middle of nowhere
I live half an hour away from the prison. I've been in that mine. If you had gone another 20 yards or so you'd have found an old dynamite box. If you had turned right then taken the next left you'd have found a pair of boots.
I seen the box but not the boots, was it past where it "Y's" off? I went to the y then turned around. How far back does the actual mine go? I wasn't brave enough to go any further
@@toxxic111 it goes back pretty far. I haven't been all the way. To find the boots, you take the left side of the Y, and cross a stream that goes through an adjoining tunnel.
@@manicmechanic448 interesting, might just be stupid enough to check it out again just for the boots haha
@@toxxic111 there's plenty of tunnels I haven't been down in there, so I'm not sure of the air quality in them.
@@manicmechanic448 I was smart and brought my gas detector (natural gasses like propane,methane, ethane,butane) it also tests air quality and as far as down to the Y it's safe air wise and has good oxygen readings. Welcome to join me and my friend any time! (If we decide to explore there further)
That Black Snake you filmed is what we country folks call a '' Black Racer.'' I had one race me from my nanny's mailbox all the way to her door one day, and after racing it for over 2 acres I was nearly ready to faint of fear b/c I was really young and had never seen one before, and my nanny just laughed. Much love friend.
Eastern Box Turtle? It sure is pretty!
👍🏼& Black Racer 😍
You're definitely brave Highgate Cemetery is one creepy place and it's such a shame what happened in the 60's with the desecration of the bodies.
I agree with you its beautiful in there even though the trees and bushes are overgrown.
What an extraordinary adventure you just took me on. TYSVM! Thouroughly enjoyed very second. That was a biggg snake! Please be careful, you take so many risks xx
That was a pretty big cottonmouth. Saw one like that wrapped around a tree stump in my neighbor's yard when we were kids. We thought it was fake because of it's perfectly geometric black scales. Until it moved. That one you stumbled into was huge. Awesome video!
Love your videos, amazingly clear and your voice is calming. Keep up the great work 👍
Eastern box turtle.
Thanks for the tour Chris!
👍👍
Nice!
That was awesome thanks so much for your adventures you allow me to be on
I love your videos. Always an adventure!
This is so cool I hope someday I can do what you do and travel around the country with my little toyota pickup
Thank you for all the information. Really helps!
You are a youtube sensation.

Fantastic, Chris
this guy deserves his own tv show, hes better than any history show on television
Great video. Don't ever stop making these!
Hi there. Yes you were absolutely right when you said “I can hear you all yelling at me”. I was like REALLY?? What if something were to happen to you and we view it live. 😬😖🥺 you never know. These mines are rotting away. Please be very careful! 🙏🏽
I enjoy all your videos. Thank you
One of the best vids you've made !
Thanks!
What an incredible place
Going above and beyond man.
Be safe out there. Thank You
Once again...Fantastic Job!! Thank You!!
I absolutely love your hat. I would love to explore places like this. Looks awesome. I live in Knoxville Tn and never been to Brushy Mountain. Need to check it out. Awesome video.
Very good. Thank you
Beautiful ! ❤️ 🤗. Amazing ! 🤩
Always enjoy your videos Chris great job
“There maybe Bears in there I didn’t want to disrupt them “ 😂 that’s gotta be one of his best quotes ever 😂, another brilliant video 👍🏽
Always interesting, thanks.
That snake I think was a water moccasin, and the turtle was a box turtle. Cool vid kid. 😻
More great content. Thanks and keep it up!
So cool to see the old structures and mines
Love your videos
You make history interesting 😊 That's why I follow your channel
Cool! Thanks for showing us!
Fantastic video Chris very enjoyable, many thanks 👍👊🇬🇧🇺🇸
Awesome video
Love your videos 💙
Cool explore! Glad you were safe!
Interesting there being a Prison mine camp so high up in the mountains. The snake and the tortoise weren't too interested in you glad they kept to themselves. Thanks for sharing!
it looks like the prisoners and a lovely view
Enjoyed the history, nature.....very beautiful area...
Love this channel!!!!
You have a new subscriber 👍
Now that was a very interesting video.... Thank you ! be careful always 💛
Great video!
If you go further back, it splits off into two tunnels. It's very dangerous and main entrance is blocked off(gated) for a reason, but I've been up to the split offs then turned around as i found it was very dumb and unsafe. I was surprised at how hot it was in there as well
Another interesting video as usual. Those spiders on the wall, I was brought up in Scotland and as a kid growing up you'd see them all the time. Don't ever see them no more, weird.
They took a boat to the US.
@@jburnett8152 The only US immigrants that are happy to see a wall
I knew exactly what spiders you meant before I'd even seen them in the video. And you're right, they used to be everywhere, but I rarely see them these days.
We called them daddy long legs, but apparently most people call crane flies daddy long legs. But I still think I'm right, they definitely deserve the name more lol.
Insect apocalypse many insect types collapsing populations from pesticide use etc
Awesome video bro, keep it going
If your ever in Virginia we could go exploring together 🔆
Keep the vids coming
great video!!!!!!!
These are some very interesting places that you are visiting
I normally watch train vidios but now I have seen your exploration on the country ill be glad to watch more vidios and broken my horizon. I used to explore alot when I was young. I relly enjoyed the unexpected surprise. ☺
Broden not broken .can't spell never could.And now I hgave auto correct to help spell wrong .lol.

Very cool 😎 Chris
My fear of snakes keeps me from going on mountain hikes. Your a brave one, take care and be careful
