Thanks man! I went out while we had that cooler weather. Even got about a gallon of huckleberries! So win win 😎👍🏻

No way?! I’ll have to check your video out! Thanks for the awesome feedback 😎👍🏻

Where is this?

I mostly explore in North Idaho and some of Montana.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it. I post once a week, so feel free to check back in if your still interested 👍🏻

Yeah it is! I can’t believe how big that site is! It’s unreal

Great vid! You did it justice. We gotta go for a field trip up here soon.

Heck yeah man! I did an overnight camp this past Saturday and am working on the video now.

Thanks for watching! I haven’t checked those out yet, but I’d love to! I feel like there is so much hidden in the backcountry 😁👍🏻

Thanks my friend! I’ll try to keep finding more! 👍🏻👍🏻

You probably recognize about every spot and mountain view. That’s the best part of us exploring the same areas though! We can recon areas for each other

@@ExplorethePNW Exactly!

A portal is a horizontal entrance into a mine. (Think of a tunnel for a car) A shaft is usually vertical or at a sharp angle into a mine. (Think of an elevator in a building) There has been/and still is a ton of mining around where I live and explore

@@ExplorethePNW and its cold in summer?

Well they go deep underground and usually have several vents so it causes airflow to blow out the opening. The snow berm in front of this one makes its colder as well.

I’ll have to watch for your video! I’m stoked! 🤣 haha! They must be multiplying! Lol

Thanks for the kind words! I’m a firm believer in using what you have. I’ve loved the super tinker since day 1. Feel free to stick around for more outdoor adventures and gear reviews.

There’s nothing like being out it nature!

That’s awesome! I love finding stuff like that. Keep getting out there and exploring!

Thanks! I love getting up in the mountains and exploring. Feel free to subscribe and follow along for more of my outdoor adventures 👍🏻

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback. I try to show as much as I can of the beautiful landscape. Feel free to subscribe and follow along on my outdoor adventures 👍🏻

Thank you so much for the kind words! Feel free to subscribe or check out my other outdoor videos and shorts. I post frequently and there is a longer video out every Friday. Thanks again!

Can do! It’s not far at all from where you and I usually go, and the hike is only about a mile in. We should get out next time you get a chance 😎👍🏻

I can’t believe how green everything still is! It’s been a mild summer so far that’s for sure

Thank you my friend! I am very lucky and blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Feel free to stick around for more outdoor content 👍🏻

Yeah it did! Apparently you can follow it up to view a glacier but we didn’t go that far. I’d love to go back to Glacier. It’s beautiful 😲

We’ve had a really mild spring so it’s still up top and on the shady side of the peaks. Hiking isn’t for everyone, but I enjoy it. Thanks for watching and feel free to check out my other content 👍🏻

It’s a gated mine entrance (portal). They put what are called bat gates on them to keep people and larger animals out, but it allows bats to fly back and forth. A portal is a horizontal entrance (like a tunnel you drove a car through). A mine shaft is vertical or at an angle (like an elevator shaft in a building).

Isn’t it awesome! That road is cool how it just keeps climbing up and up 😎👍🏻

@@ExplorethePNW I didn’t get as far as I wanted to up there but it was amazing! I went way up the road before that one and found a couple new mine sites

Really? The one RUclips short I posted showed a cool wooden building I found pretty far up there, but it was on the road where the vehicles are.

There are old mining sites all over the area I usually explore. Feel free to follow along if the outdoors or old historic sites interest you! Thanks for watching

If bigfoot was gay he'd be extinct lol

Most of the mine portals in this area have gates so they are all over the place. I just enjoy finding them and looking for the sites on old maps. I’ll let someone else customize them 😂

Thanks for watching!

It’s gated entrance to a mine and the bat gate is installed to keep people and larger animals out but allow bats to fly back and forth. Some of my content is based on finding old mine and historic sites. Feel free to check out some other videos if that interests you 👍🏻

You must’ve missed it. There’s a gated entrance to a mine (it’s called a portal) behind all the new growth trees. Some of my content is based on finding old mine and historic sites. Feel free to check out some other videos if that interests you 👍🏻

@@ExplorethePNW like a portal to hell? I don’t watch haunting shows.

Haha no. It’s a mining term. A portal is a mine entrance that is accessed horizontally (think of a tunnel you drive a car through). A mine shaft is accessed at an angle or vertically (think of an elevator shaft in a building).

Ha! You’re braver than I my friend. 😂 I don’t go into any of the mines I find. I’m a firm believer in the “Stay out. Stay alive.” motto 😎👍🏻

@@ExplorethePNW these are old mines? Even better. Just get a gas detector

I just enjoy finding the locations and researching them off old maps. I’m not the guy to go exploring in them lol. I’ll save that for someone else. Besides, when they have a gate on them, there is usually a good reason they don’t want people in there 🤣

You know when there is wildlife activity in a den. Usually there is a feel to it.. he isn't putting himself in any danger. Plus he is wearing a pack most likely containing something to protect himself

Thank you for looking out for me. I appreciate the comment, I really do. I never go into any of the mines and/or portals I find. In this instance I made plenty of noise well before I approached the portal (in case there was something in the brush or in the area). Also you can usually smell right away if something has a den. It’s VERY noticeable. Feel free to subscribe and follow along for more adventures!

Thank you for the comment and backup 👍🏻 I definitely do not put myself in danger. It’s not worth the risk.

Heck yeah man! You, @dirtcopdualsport, and I gotta get out this summer!

It was fairly close to it up there. Minus the rapid thunderstorm with hail we had today 🤣

Heck yeah man! I really appreciate you. I always welcome your skills and knowledge of the area! 😎👍🏻

Haha thanks man! If I end up swapping it out, it’s all yours 👍🏻

Thanks my friend! We’re right in the middle of the spring thaw where I live, so these type of small waterfalls are all over the mountains.

Right?! It was another awesome trip out! I’ll have a 2 part video coming out on it so, so feel free to subscribe and stick around for more!

@@ExplorethePNW You live in beautiful country out there. God Bless

Thank you my friend! I am very blessed. I appreciate the kind words.

I don’t like to give specific locations. I usually explore in the panhandle and Montana.

Probably not in this instance lol. It’s a 50+ year old car. IF there was someone in it, the animals would’ve gotten to it long ago.

@@ExplorethePNW I knooooow, it would be bones. But it would be my luck 🤣💀

🤣 when your out exploring you gotta think positive lol

This is on the road above where we went snowshoeing. I want to go back and try to get up there by it 👍🏻 Haha thanks man! 🤣

@@ExplorethePNW I thought that might be where it was! I've never been on the upper road before though.

Yeah the app didn’t show another road higher up, but I’m wondering if it’s so old it’s not listed. How else would the car get that high up lol

Exactly! It’s clearly a car from the 50’s or 60’s, so over 50+ years old. The remote location of it too is probably one of the reasons why it seems “preserved” 🤣

True. My friend helped me track this one down. 👍🏻

Thankfully where I usually go there isnt much vandalism. Some portals aren’t even blocked off.

Sasquatch wanted in

He would’ve cleared that gate no problem 🤣

My friend works in the mining industry. He said that tailing piles are much smaller/finer rock. Waste rock piles are just the rock that’s hauled out to get to the veins/deposits.

I usually always have sunglasses when I’m out exploring. Especially in the winter. It helps me from having to squint all the time 🤣

I don’t think so. That creek name doesn’t show up nearby on any of my maps or off road apps.

It really is! I love snow, but I’m excited to be able to get into the backcountry. I’m sure you can tell where I’m at in just about every video 🤣

Nah. I only take people out with me that I know and like 🤣😂 The views are always spectacular!

Is that in Clark Fork or Sandpoint Idaho ???

No. I am usually out exploring in the panhandle or Montana

@@ExplorethePNW Clark Fork is 60 miles from Canada and 8 miles from Montana. That's as much of the panhandle as you can get. Lake Pend Oreille.

Gotcha. No I haven’t explored that far up. I hear it’s pretty up there though

Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate the feedback. Feel free to let me know how I can make it better 😁👍🏻

Maybe the loggers built the road and took the trees out, to make a vista for you.

😂 I don’t think I was on their mind when they we’re up there, but I sure enjoy it every time a vista opens up 👍🏻

Thanks my friend. I am lucky to live in such a beautiful place. 🤯 Where do you live?
