We love the fact that you don’t show your face constantly like so many other KZreadrs! The POV is great! It makes us feel like we’re there. We (the wife and I) get out exploring from time to time and have been for 30+ years together.

I'm always impressed by the determination the miners must have had to do all the incredibly strenuous work it took to create the infrastructure and handle the ore they mined!

Really enjoy your videos. The door on the truck is a dead give-away. Yes it's a jeep. thanks for sharing.

Oh ya, that first shaft behind the cabin, out house!

That's what I was thinking? Lengthy walk at night in the pitch black? Chamber pot comes to mind

Awesome vid!👍Looks like you found someone's getaway cabin, clearly that is in use.

another fun explore sunny Jim .....too bad you could not get into that last shaft it looked very promising ....be safe out there and keep'em coming ...P.S. you should sample some of the veins for Gold ...if you need pointers just ask my brother

@Askjeffwilliams Who's your brother? lol I'm pretty sure I had you in 2 classes for half a semester in high school 1985/86. Balderson was the shop teachers name.

Thank you for not going in to detail about this cabins location. My wife and I have enjoyed this site for a few years now and have always loved how pristine it is. Unlike other youtubers who shall not be mentioned here it's really appreciated that you respect the locations you visit so well. Creeping through the bat bars was a great bonus! We've always wondered what was on the other side of them. Thank you VERY much for the walkthrough. Let me know if you'd like to see others in the area :)

KZread is often the enemy of remote cabins but good news a few are GOVERNMENT PROPERTY and that's a hefty penalty if caught

Great video! I have been out to this mine site at least 20 years ago. Found it by accident just following the trail up into the canyon. It just amazed me back then on how well preserved it was. Looks like someone has cleaned up the cabin though and they have bat barred some of the portals. This still is one of the best hidden gems out in the Mojave! Thanks for sharing, brings back great memories.

Looks to be a volunteer maintained cabin and site. Nice mine explore. Many interesting finds.

and bro seeing you climb those ladders had my anxiety going crazy!!!!

I'm glad you now have a Jeep to help with your journeys. Still pay attention to your terrain - even Jeeps get into situations they can't get out of.

Willey's Truck

This video is more in keeping with your past exciting videos. Keep ‘em coming.

I stayed there a few times it's a awesome little hidden gem good memories

that was a great explore, lots of stuff to look at. thank-you.

your first mine shaft was an out house. lol @12;01 min mark

always glad to see another video,,always very good videos

Your cool, love your exploring,above and underground, never had a jeep, couple of landrovers, they ok for off road, be safe out there ,❤

thanks👍👍

You struck gold with this explorer! Very nice!

Volunteer cabins are cool!

Stayed there a few times. That main adit must have just recently been opened, was always fully gated in the past. I’ll have to go check it out. There’s a couple other mines within hiking distance from there as well.

Good reasons for securing old mine entrances, my friends brother Don Carter died on a solo mine exploration in Nevada. It was a long time ago in the early 1960's but some things don't change.

That was a neat cabin

Air down those tires to about 18 lbs. You'll thank me!! You've come a long way son! Almost 30k subs! Nice!

Great content....looking forward to the next adventure and sights!

I explored a cabin just off a 4 wheel drive trail in the Sierras that was open and furnished. It even had a .22 rifle hanging on the wall and whisky in a bottle.

I love this mine. As soon as I saw the workings in that concrete adit, I was like, "This is the best mine I love this video, probably my favorite video from yours." Great video, and keep up the great work 👌👍!

Boy you sure found alot of good things nice to see it still in the wild ⛏️🤔glad your back really enjoy what you do on your adventures

Great to see it hasnt been vandalised

love the videos!!! especially the exploration, lots of people turn around when they see a gate lol

Fantastic

Volunteer cabin!

Exciting footage! Just be safe

Thanks from Australia looks good

Great video brother. I want to move in and make that cabin my home lol

Another awesome video...Thx

I need more friends like you lol great video though 👍

ALWAYS great to see you're explorations, it'd be great to hear more description of what you're looking at if you know what it is. Really dig the mine and wreckage explorations! You should link up with Joe Idoni for crash sites,

Very cool!!

You don't see a cabin looking really nice in the mountains that clean

That Jeep looks nice for having 100k!

That was amazing 🤘

Nice job mate!

Te Shaft as you called it looks to be a old outhouse, as a kid from a small town we would push them over every Halloween

Super awesome video, as always! I was a little sad you didn't open the box under the flag.

Im near mojave would love to go out exploring with you. And you know you should not go out alone and only ine vehicle

Check out the decorative repurposed porch column reused as a stol at minute 23:59 and another one at minute 24:18

Surprised that they didn't put a cover over that.

Great mining video just wondering how come you didn’t want to go in the attic at the cabin

W is for Willys, they made Jeeps and trucks among other vehicles in the late 1940's and 50's

Jeep Willy's truck. About 1957 judging from the size of the back window

why is all of the creeks dried up no water anywhere

It's the Mojave Desert.

I camped there about 10 years ago. The main cabin was not nice back then. Filthy. The outbuilding had 2 pink kidsize bunk beds inside. You missed the main adit for the Orofino Mine further up the canyon. But it too is gated.

Super cool...but cringeworthy when I think you are out there all alone going into those mines. That would be a crappy place to get stuck.

11:35 Outhouse

Vogelzang still in production the company l just googled it

Look for old coins in these older abandoned cars .. $$$

whos maintaining that so well

Why do they always drill in a straight line..wouldn't the gold be scattered in different directions ❤❤

😂😂😂 Super old 60s

all i keep thinking is all that free timber there, enough to build a great little house with a magnificent view - goes against the grain a bit i know, and a damn long way for shopping - bring on them delivery drones haha

I'll DM you on your IG account with a few other volunteer maintained cabins in the same area. I appreciate that you don't give out it's proper name on the internet to protect it from vandals 👍

Is there a map of the cabins or someone to talk to about them... I'd love to camp out next year after I get a Jeep JK to travel to these sites?

I know exactly where it is but don't want to say to much, as I don't want it to be trampled. But here goes, get a USGS topo map that shows south of Baker, east of Soda lake. There are 2 mine sites on the western side of a mountain range at the end of a long strait road. This is the southern one of the two. Easy to get to going south off of Kelbaker road, about 10 miles give or take south of Baker. You will need to go thru a gate and into a canyon, the gate is open last I was there. Make sure you have a four wheel drive as the road is sandy and even though is pretty decent, can be bad in spots. Good luck hunting!

​​@@user-qf1it8jc9ythank you for sharing. I was able to find this site other ways, but I appreciate your guidance. I am not a fan of gatekeeping. If someone does not want to share a location, then don't show the video. There are plenty of places I don't post because it don't want them to be overrun. With these public lands places, it frustrates me that some content creators feel they shouldnhave access but no one else should. I doubt I will ever go there since it's over 8 hours away.

Have you ever ran into Wonderhussy from ytube?

it is a jeep truck

Very disappointed u didn't investigate attic, could b a dead body and you have to report that

You take too many dangerous risks. you'll see one day.

You have excuse me I'm a bit confused, Instead of using your "pretty" and "trendy" jeep? Why don't you use some 7 year old second hand that can take a few knocks, Lock it up in some garage so you won't be seen "dead in it" and carry on driving your pretty little jeep around your neighbourhood, Coming that "sand ramp" you did not want to do?

My Ford Edge would have made it out there.

Always great content dude!
