I am 73 ( from Az.). I may be the oldest follower. The reason I really enjoy this channel is that what Mav does now, I and a couple of my buddies use to do this all over Az in my 20s, 30s,and 40s but they didn't have the recording devices that they have now--cell phones. He keeps his channel clean and just about anyone can watch his videos. Very enjoyable.

Depending on what type of minerals are in the mine ore, a fire can be a very very very bad idea. Ventilation is key. Underground gold miner and safety trainer here. Mining for over 17 years. Building a fire at the base of the face and super heating the rock, then throwing water on it so it breaks is how mining used to be done. Never heard of that stew but you're Always supposed to leave a bite for the tommy knockers or they'll make trouble for you. You should invest in an O2 meter. That powdery dust is what we call bug dust.

Жыл бұрын

Yeah not sure who's bright idea that was

I was on a cave trip 40 years ago with a group of 21 and the first five rushed ahead of the rest of us, we had no way of knowing the way out. There used to be a string line marking the route but that had broken at some stage and the cave structure was a granite hilltop with a creek that had flowed through it at different levels over a few millennia. We eventually made out way out after over five hours underground. Normally a group of that size would take about 90 minutes to pass through. Some of us went back ten days later and replaced the string line. Since then I've been in a couple of historic gold mines and I didn't like it one bit, having to get out into the open air as quickly as possible. Claustrophobia is very real, folks.

So to those who haven't before, I probably wouldn't pick your closest mine to sleep or hang out in. All that dust he mentions could contain lead or toxic materials used during the mining process, and without a respirator , your kinda setting up for some interesting long term effects if ya use a fire along with it, which can puff up bits of debris and more dust. Anyway, just giving heads up
