UR following in my footsteps Dustin. 50 years later. I'm 78. Been all over B.C. Yukon, American west coast. Drove the Baja Mexico 5 times. Note. 60 hours driving time Vancouver to The Cabos. Neat for me to watch UR videos 50 yrs. later.
That part at 8:46 is the rudder quadrant. Where the wires/chains from the steering wheel are attached to torn the rudder. Normally ferries like this would have rudder and propeller in each end.
My God dude that is another awesome video!! There's no way in **** I'd have gone in that ship, but there's no way in **** I'd go into a lot of the places you go. Dustin, you're showing us all the raw, untouched beauty of the Earth, and the way the Earth reclaims everything. Thank you for that!!
So fantastic! As a Swede I feel strongly connected to the forests, rivers and the water but BC and Alaska is like Scandinavia on steoroids. Makes me wanna go there now!
The hard labour that it must have taken to get all that equipment up there, blood sweat and tears I bet! Great adventure Dustin thanks for the journey 👍🇨🇦
Ceaselessly amazing how back in the day, massive machinery was trekked out to the middle of nowhere. Thanks for the ride back in time. Just imagine living and working out there when it was even more remote. Makes you wonder how they even found such places to mine.
I joined your Patreon, and you are the only one I have joined. I did because your videos are a joy to watch. Thank you for all the work and effort you put in. It is appreciated so very much, as you are truly an adventurer in the most soulful way, and it is felt by us, your viewers.
26:09. you crack me up so much! "just looks like a pretty active bear area" nervous laugh and carries on... you are a true adventurer and a Canuck for sure!! Not leaving because of bears but because its time to go fishin... you are the best!
You are an absolute mad lad for going in that sunken ship. Thanks for getting the footage of it before it’s lost. Amazing stuff. Adventure on Mr Adventure man. *I made this comment before you started stealing blueberries in full sight of a momma grizzly bear.
So amazing! Every time I see these places in your videos I just have an urge to excavate these old sites and see what is really underneath!!! But as always "take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints"
Your slow pan shots and close up's are what make these so awesome to watch. Did anyone else catch the little tiny snail on the rock? Oh, and of course your sense of humor. That rod joke was hilarious. Thanks for the great views and laughs. Keep safe.
That pelton wheel system setup is the most intact I have seen in the wild. They were the normal way of generating rotational power down here in the Coromandel Gold fields in the late 1800's down here in New Zealand. So have seen lots of gear about, both in the wild and in museums / setups etc. But this setup was in really good condition. The pipe ends with that valve which creates a jet with its small outflow diameter which spins the wheel. Which turns the shaft turning the two other large wheels. These were belt drives. With large leader belts on them that takes the rotating energy to the gear up the hill. The gear up the hill looked really interesting as well. Some kind of floation and agitation I suspect but not sure. Amazing stuff.
TY Dustin. Brave to go into the hull of the Leshie. Copper mines of olden days are usually quite toxic later on, and if you do find a fish it could be toxic as well. Some abandoned copper mines have destoyed all, ALL life including insects , so be careful.
The scrapper in me cringes at all the brass valves you always seem to come across and wave in our faces!! HAHA! Absolutely had some inner deep memories come through as you were making your way through the wreck........as a youngster my friends and I had to get rescued from a hulk of an abandoned barge we decided to go into. Thanks Dustin!! For the memories AND the great video!!
You showed the great Western Towboat company on their scheduled barge run to Whittier. The part looked like part of a steering quadrant. Nice job getting inside. Pretty dangerous but interesting.
Love the northwest adventures. For over fifty years I have always wanted to go to Alaska, and had I known how beautiful western Canada was that would have been a dream adventure too. Now I get to go along with you, and yes, the mom in me comes out and I always tell you to be careful or watch out. Be safe, God bless, and safe travels from Proctor Minnesota!
Dustin, thank you for sharing your adventures with us! Your channel is the proof of the saying, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Keep on exploring!
Incredible coincidence! I grew up in Kirkland. My parents property used to be camping sites and I am fairly sure the Leschi Ferry was one way Seattle residents commuted to Kirkland to camp and utilize the beach property rights that are still to this day attached to their property on Lake Washington. Came across your channel today! Truly enjoying the content. Thank you for sharing!
The pilings are still visible from the old dock on the lake where the ferry would disembark from. There are placards posted related to the history of the old road adjacent to the lake; it is now a walking and biking path. If you come through this way, connect with me. I would love to go on an adventure with you. You could put your boat in Lake Washington from our beach front access and I could make arrangements for you to park your RV in our parking lot for at least one night, maybe two. 😊
Captain D, what you need is a Downrigger for Ocean salmon fishing. Those "Dip-Sea" Divers dont really work. Sept/Oct you also need to have Prawn traps down (and a prawn puller) 250/300 ft of water, in front of a small fresh water source. AS ALWAYS An Amazing Adventure. Thanks for bringing us along.
Man it would be so cool if you or the viewers had access to possible old photos of some of these places you go to, it would be amazing to see the then and now! All that old machinery just opens up the imagination-thanks again Dustin for one of the best videos yet! Frick Alaska is beautiful!!
Hey Dustin! Glad you found your way to the old ferry, I thought you would think that was cool. The rock mill you found was amazing. I'm also very curious about it's history. There are so many forgotten mines, and the stories of the people who built and worked them always fascinate me. There are several scattered around Ester Dome near my house, and I've always wondered about who worked them, and the chapter of humanity that unfolded there. If you do make it to Fairbanks, I'd be honored to take you around exploring. Another great video though. I'm glad your trip back to Alaska has been so fruitful. You've really managed to make some amazing content. We just got back from Valdez, got our limit of silver salmon, and another couple gallons of shrimp. Digging potatoes now, just finishing out the season. I'm excited to hear about your next adventure.
@@bob_frazier There was quite a bit of different equipment it looked like, but I definitely noticed a rock mill. It was the most common practice for gold and copper around the turn of the century, and still to this day. They grind the ore to powder, the mix it into a slurry with chemicals to extract the minerals. I've got no less than 4 in a 7 mile radius from my house. The real amazing thing is they drug these things basically into the middle of nowhere with horses and assembled them, then abandoned them.i can only imagine what they must have cost back in those days.
Stoked to hear you did well fishing and shrimping. I need your help to show me how to catch a silver salmon. Lol. Next year maybe will be my year for salmon.
i have disabilitys so couldnt go to the places you have taken me to . your living my dream . get a camper van and off id go . im in the uk xx loving yovideos . impressive video footage . love it x
When you were entering the wreck my immediate thought was the very recent rockfall on the island. You could be almost sure any machinery with Ingersol Rand on it is a compressor. Historians wonder how the pyramids were built, I wonder how the hell did those miners get that heavy equipment ashore and up the wet and no doubt muddy hills to the minesite, not many Chinooks in those days! What a lot of amazing scenery bundled into one state! Good on you Dustin for showing us!
@ 8:55... was that not the rudder and the steering yolk? Looked like where the cables passed through on the outside sweep of that yolk... as for what looked like undigested fish eggs... reckon those are probably blueberries. That old wooden pipeline was an awesome find!!!
You are a savage lol...( in a very awesome way lol) Climbing into that ship...reminds me when I was kid who did stuff like this quite often ( my folks would have killed me if they only knew😂)...since..finding your channel we are watching all videos as we go! You are very gifted in the production of them....stunning! Thanks for the adventures!🖤🐈⬛
You have that mechanical aptitude and mind that has to know how the old iron worked and I thank you for it in these videos! I've spent far too long at many old mine and industrial sites piecing together roughly how things worked while friends impatiently waited, maybe that's why I go solo most of the time lol!
so amazing how one persons videos can inspire so many of us..Hey it would be kool to see your double you, in some of these videos, I loved how you did this,Be safe,
I would agree with it being an air compress at the mine site with seeing the Ingersollrand nameplate. Thanks for taking us along on your taking a chance to find old places!
I’m a big fan and have watched almost all your episodes. There was one episode last season on Haida Gwaii where you came across a surprise in a cave that you didn’t show us and seemed like a sensitive discovery. If you are able to share with us what that was I am still very curious. Also if you’re ever on Vancouver island again I would happily let you guys shower and do your laundry at my place 😁 thank you for all your adventures and hard work.
They don't remove old boats? Just wondering about the impact to the environment, but pretty cool how mother nature reclaims. By the way your laugh cracks me up! Love your adventures
What you saw on the rear of the ferry was the quadrent which at one time had cables attached to it to move the rudder, or more likely rudders. It appeared you could still see the rudder below. I'm thinking you might want to get a waterproof case for your phone. It wouldn't be good to get stuck in the belly of a rusty old ship and have your phone sitting on a rock 50 feet away. You may actually have another form of communication, (plan B), that said forget my worrying. It's just we gotta keep you safe so we can enjoy more travels. Stay relatively safe.
Another awesome, beautiful, slightly nerve-wracking video, Dustin! I noticed that the piece of rusted out machinery you came across said Ingersol Rand New York and I grew up in a little town called Painted Post in NY where Ingersol Rand manufactured a LOT of air compressors. They're gone now, of course, but I still remember the stink of the old foundry when they were in full operation wafting through the classroom windows when I was a kid, always reminded me of dead fish, nasty smell that was! Thanks for doing what you do and Stay Safe!!
Likely not fish eggs. Probably seeds from some type of berry. The membrane of a fish egg would be broken & digested. I see this often in raccoon scat w/ Yaupon berries. (I do have a bachelors in Animal Science & Wildlife Management, so that basically makes me the leading expert in scat 🤣)
23:07 that is an Ingersoll-Rand Air Compressor Imperial Type 10, that was driven by the Pelton Turbine.. That means there should be higher up water supply for the turbine. It looks also like there is a pressure storage vessel (the long tube up) and then a very complex gear drive that was driven by this. I think 24:03 is a power output shaft goint to some belt drives so whatever machinery they drove, must be perpendicular to that, probably uphill.
Is that drum looking machine above it part of that? It looks almost like a primitive form of a modern separator. Perhaps they had mechanically driven processing onsite for the copper ore? It would make sense with it being way down the hill there...
@@guffalump756 I think you are right, mechanically it really looks like it was either a centrifugal separator or some sort of mill or combination of both.. in any case that probably means that it is mining and not logging stuff and I kinda would guess the mine must be really close upslope and some sort of loading port downslope of the site.
back in 1972 Whittier small boat had just open up. my father was lucky enough to get a slip for his brand new 1972 24,ft' Fiber form Cabin cruiser ,twin 170 Hp. we would cruiser for days with out seeing any other Vessel's. boy has that ever changed since then.
Dustin, hi from Calgary. Wow another great one they always end too soon. What always blows me away is thinking about what it took to get all of the large iron to the remote mining, logging and milling operations etc. For this site it was 1920's no D 11's cutting roads out of the bush back then. Not to mention the level of engineering on these sites. Microwave salmon noodles in a cup catch of the day, been there done that never admit defeat well done. Thanks
When I was younger, I was fascinated by the story of the ferry Kalakala and how it ended up as a cannery in Alaska, thinking this was rare. Now I'm starting to wonder just how many former ferries were turned into canneries. It seems like it might have been a common fate for retired ferries, at least in the 1960s.
UR following in my footsteps Dustin. 50 years later. I'm 78. Been all over B.C. Yukon, American west coast. Drove the Baja Mexico 5 times. Note. 60 hours driving time Vancouver to The Cabos. Neat for me to watch UR videos 50 yrs. later.
Man's ingenuity and fortitude never ceases to amaze me. The places you travel and things you find in such remote places is thought provoking.
Not now
That part at 8:46 is the rudder quadrant. Where the wires/chains from the steering wheel are attached to torn the rudder. Normally ferries like this would have rudder and propeller in each end.

As a Swede I feel strongly connected to the forests, rivers and the water but BC and Alaska is like Scandinavia on steoroids. Makes me wanna go there now!
Thats funny, i thought exactly the same thing! //Också svensk, åker upp till norrland några gånger om året XD
It’s bear scatt the things that look like eggs are berries. Awesome video as always 🤟😎
I was going to leave a similar comment. As a Northern BC raised berry picker I've seen lots of bear scat 🥴
The hard labour that it must have taken to get all that equipment up there, blood sweat and tears I bet! Great adventure Dustin thanks for the journey 👍🇨🇦

Your slow pan shots and close up's are what make these so awesome to watch. Did anyone else catch the little tiny snail on the rock? Oh, and of course your sense of humor. That rod joke was hilarious. Thanks for the great views and laughs. Keep safe.
I faintly remember the Leschi when she was a Washington State Ferry. She's pronounced Lesch-eye. 🙂 Another good adventure

Awesome adventure! Going in that boat was sketchy lol
"Double the rods, double the chance to get lucky!" 🤣🤣🤣 Did I understand that correctly? You're such a rare gem, Dustin. Thanks so much for all you do
That had me cracking up sooo much!
You will have lots of memories. And photos. To view later in life. !!

pretty cool seeing an old steam ship like that. At least it looked like a bunch of boilers under the deck.
So cool and I look forward to every place you go. Always checking stuff out.

Awesome scenery ! 🌲🤙
27:40 LOL that cut is 💯
Stunning footage of the landscape as usual Dustin! I love the remote exploring. Too bad you couldn't find the mine but still worth the journey.

That container barge is one of Alaska Marine Ltd's barge service from Seattle to Alaska. Hauled many container to and from Seattle from them.

Yet another awesome Saturday morning video. Can’t believe you went on that island without a gun!!!
Hahaha. You crack me up Dustin. Another great video
Thanks for all the unique content
thank you Dustin. Good times abound or afloat? good health anyway.
Love your posts thanks so much I enjoy watching you
Just beautiful and crazy that they just leave equipment like that. You make me so nervous when you explore some things. Love your videos.
Your videos are my absolute favorite travel TH-camr. The areas you expect lite are all on my bucket lists
HA HA HA! You always catch the big fishes when the camera's off. :P Great episode Dustin!
you are a brave man i must say, that was great stuff thanks for taking me along safe travel
thank you for the amazing footage!
Great video.. I am looking at your RV right now here in Anchorage and decided to check out your channel.
Just found your channel and its fantastic. Your style of talking with the audience and exploring is very captivating,. Safe travels.
Thanks again for a sweet adventure ! Such inspiration!
I have missed you "don't get stolen". Makes me laugh every time.
