I headed 900 feet underground in an abandoned mine to set up a living room and a desk to record the audiobook version of my book "Ghost Town Living" - out March 19th.
It was a huge adventure preparing for this reading. I ran power and Internet 900 feet underground, then brought down everything that I'd need to live there a few days while recording.
I hope you'll take a moment to check out my book, Ghost Town Living, available March 19th everywhere books are sold: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/bo...
I put my put my heart and soul into this thing and really dug deep on making sense of these past 3+ years living up here. The book has all sorts of new stories, insights, and history of the town. I think it’s the best content I’ve ever made.

That is so cool Brent I'm going to try to get your book into my Library in Cheyenne Wyoming ❤
The address to send my receipt didn't work and got bounced back. :(
You could use a fish tank or some sort of aquarium for extra inspiration and entertainment
Brent bro ... thats awsome... u shud put a t.v and a playstation dow. There and play mine craft 😅
Hey @ghosttown2 I tried emailing the address at the end of the video but the email bounced. just in case more are having this issue
Brent - electrician here, wanted to state that I’m a little concerned for your safety with the use of romex electrical cable you ran to the lower level of 900’ below the surface. Romex is only permitted to be installed inside residential walls where it’s not subject to physical damage by being able to hit it with objects. Also, you want to avoid contact with moisture within the cable, which can be hazardous because some of the internal characteristics in various types of cable may contain paper that can hold and absorb water. If you want to be safe, use some type of armored cable or install wire inside metal conduit and properly size your wire. Lastly, if you are using 120v at 1000’ from your electrical panel, the voltage will be considerably low, elevating the amps/load on the circuit. This will cause your equipment and wiring to burn up and overheat. Maybe you used the correct size wire of 1/0 or #1AWG depending on where your electrical panel is located, but visually it looks like you used #12AWG or 10AWG. You need to severely up size your wire in order to safely go that distance, but they don’t make romex that size. While nothing has happened yet, thankfully 🙏, the wire will break/arc/and spark at the weakest section of the wire that takes the highest level of amps. Using LED lights that are low energy and might not cause failure, but if you plug higher power consuming devices that can be the trigger. I don’t want to see you get hurt or cause a fire. I do service large mining operations in Southern CA so I know a few thing’s 😉
Be safe bud
i think he needs to hire you dude
You should consider emailing brent with this information! He always plugs his email for various reasons, but this sounds like a safety concern Brent should definitely see and attempt to fix. If you're doing services in South CA mining, I'm sure he would want to speak with you
Brian Johnson decribed the issue very well. It's like having an extention cord which is way too long. Dangerous.
Brent will want cooking ability, and heat. Thats lots of amps , which means wiring expenses.
But perhaps the mine gets enough natural ventilation to carry away fumes from a propane cook stove.
Or from a propane or diesel heater.
If so, electric demand will go down
A LOT.
Another possibility.
If this is not lived in beyond say 3 days at a time, consider a portable lithium battery. Say a 2kw electric bike battery. It could power LED lights, a fridge, a computer or small HDTV.
MSHA?
Plus, add the factor of 1.21 Giggawatts to the flux capacitor and then the addition of the amritionics adjudication and BLAM....there goes the darificious nodolueoptimic system. Oh boise, that's not good for the soymetomitrics.
Drinking coffe out of a cut off water bottle Brent? you can borrow my Amercan Hotel mug if you promise to give it back LOL
Deal! I knew I had forgot something when I went down there...
It's call survival lol
Hot old plastic drinks make the crunchy dust taste better 😂
Love You Man As an old man in the 4th quarter of his life God Bless You little brother. Live the life while you can.
Thank you. I really appreciate that. I'm doing my best to live it up!
What a great mid-Tuesday surprise!! Yes!
Thanks Scott!
Something i would like is have a fake window (with curtains and stuff) that changes the light over the day to have daylight, dusk, sunset, night sunrise. For one thing it would be a humor thing but it might also give a way to keep a normal day/night cycle staying under ground for days. Could also be a video / live feed thing, but it doesn't have to be.
That is a cool idea. I like that.
You could create a living room close to the mine elevator. With the usual
Boom Sticks from ACME.
Insulate it if need be. Make it nice.
Some sheet rock, insulation and 2&2 lumber would do nicely.
Radon detector is probably a good idea.
Lol what are you going to do, put a radon mitigation system 1000 feet below ground in a mine? 😂
@@Lloyd_Christmas11yes
Keep tracks in the area I feel pouring resin for floor over the track and the dirt under so it stays clean for a cool suite 😊
Have been watching you since beginning. Highs and lows. Brave soul. Lorraine from Philipsburg,Montana. We are a mining town so I appreciate your work.
I've also watched from the beginning. I truly enjoy this series. I lived in CA for many years, but old age & family now have me elsewhere. I never miss a video, though - Brent's a great storyteller, adventurer, and collaborator.
P-Burg! I love your candy store. Was just there two summers ago. I have got family from Anaconda that worked the stack.
it would be neat if you set up some lights (LEDS that can change shades) down the tunnels from where you stay on timers to mimic day and night cycle and keep your circadian rhythm in sync with the surface! I hope to visit one day, keep up the great content its amazing to see your dedication to cerro gordo.
definately keep the rails as a feature of the floor for the level 900 room! Either covering the rail section with glass or resin, and building a wooden floor around it. I personally would stick with warm earthy tones for the decor, browns reds oranges, to contrast the cool grey of the stone walls and ceiling, and have warm yellow lights to make it cozy. "rustic midwestern decor" is the general vibe I'm picturing - animal skin rug, leather chairs, old fashioned cast iron hanging candelabra.
i still remember when i first found out about you when the two ghost guys came over and i've loved your content ever since i love how much you've grown your channel. keep it going man
Thanks Brent, you are an inspiration to me and so many others! Doing what you want to do even with huge challenges, you Da MAN!! Looking forward to your book release, planning on buying several for a very unique gift!! So many love you and support you, you are NEVER alone my friend!
I have pre-ordered the book and look forward to reading it. Your journey has been amazing from the very start, long may it continue. Take care, be safe. Dorset, UK
Here's an idea for your "Suite": See if there a "sun tunnel skylight" that can collect sunlight at the "surface" and transmit it 900' down via fiber optic cable(s). If so, install a couple!
Bathroom and shower sure would be top priorities for me if i was thinking about a tunnel home😉
As I've commented elsewhere with you about the book, I just want to say I'm enjoying it so much and almost done! I've never read a book so fast (for me), but thorough all the while. Got it (pre-ordered) the first day Amazon sent them out, what, two days ago. I am just glad I got it. I have to say, this must be the first book I've ever pre-ordered, ordered on-line, and purchased in years! Thanks Brent! I commend you for not only writing about Cerro Gordo, but for what and how you've handled the choices, and lived in the last four years. You deserve nothing less than your dreams coming true for your Ghost Town.
Brent!!!! I'm so excited about your book which I ordered last year, but now I'm probably going to need the audio book too because I can't miss out on extra content!
Thank you for living such a great adventure and taking us along with you!!!!
You never disappoint. You work SO HARD, and the hard-won results are obvious!
Kudos to your Hoist Man for his K-Mart announcement--humor is NEVER out of place, when you are en route to the 900 Level. He missed his chance at 'CLEAN-UP in Aisle 900', though! Lolol
New nickname for Mr. Underwood: 'BURROW'--call-back to Schmidt! :D
Foot pump or gravity sink. Mirror. Lighting, flooring, painting, sound system, recliner, water feature, low light/subterrainian garden
I would like to suggest that you turn the room into a common room. Therefore, you could put sleeping rooms in tunnels. This would eventually allow for multiple guests to stay down in the 900 at one time and then gather in the common room.
I'd get the air tested before sleeping down there.
How much fun was that camping out in the mine and recording. 22:15 The 3D pictures when introduced to different light will produce prisms like none found before. The colours are very pronounced when light hits the Walls. Audio book done Brent smiles and shows his delight. Relaxed and ready for a different project. What an imaginative way to live life. Thanks for sharing. Later! 😅
you should build a chair that engages those mine cart tracks, so you can swing around in style.
Pre-ordered the book...nothing like reading and flipping through physical pages! I cannot wait until my 10yr old daughter (who also loves watching you) and I can visit Cerro Gordo! Your drive to escape the world and your appreciation for history warms my heart! Kindred spirit no doubt. Thank you!
The book of coming out on my birthday! Birthday gift to my self
I just finished your book a couple of days ago. The book was great. The stories were very entertaining and the way it was written made it very easily read. I so appreciate your videos and now your book. I'm disabled so that I couldn't even go to a place like Cerro Gordo, but your videos and your book bring it to life for me so that I can enjoy all of your adventures right along with you. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with those of us who cannot do them ourselves.
Lime rendering the walls and roof in the living space is something that'd make it nice.
I pre-ordered the book! Will enjoy the audiobook as well, especially while on the road.
Amazing! Thank you so much
Right on, I’d love to be there.
I've been watching this channel going on 3 years now and I have yet to see that they finish any project. Yet they start more and more projects and create this hype of how it's going to be when they "fibish", yet I never see anything finished. Please focus and finish something, my recommendation would be finish the freaking hotel. I'll chek in in six months and see if anything has been finished. Good luck!
I believe reading your book 900' underground is a Guinness Book of World Records new category!
A surprise video! Woohoo!
That would be an AWESOME airbnb!
I'm calling it now! Cerro gordo starts booming, Brent starts to hate the mass of idiots and moves into his multi bed multi layer mine headquarters to get away.
Brent is a nice guy😊😊
The 900ft Bungalow Suite 🥂... Awesome job man.. absolutely amazing
Brent: You sure know where to go for peace and quiet." Mind blowing".
You have your very own Man cave.
Thanks for another awesome video. Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.
Sunlamps to provide vitamin D and lift mood
YAY!!! I just received my Hardcover Book. So excited to read and get the privilege of diving deeper into the Cerro Gordo Adventures. Best wishes for a smashing Bestseller Book & Author!!!🏆🍷🎆
Thank YOU for bringing us along❣️❣️❣️❣️
Of course!
Living a dream. Don't forget to brush your teeth at night.😊❤🎈🧨🏆🎆📸🎯 Good luck on your audio book. Wishing you the very best.
I brought my toothbrush! Thank you!!
@@ghosttown2You have beautiful teeth!
Blessings, Brett, from an old lady, a fellow SoCal native, in eastern Ventura County.
Love the suite!!
Recording your own books is very hard! I am so proud of you! Next time you do it! Keep a salt shaker handy! It will help with your throat!
Brent look forward to buy your book. Maybe if recording in the future, the sound of flipping pages and the sound of a crackling fire would be cool. Like an old fashion radio show.
I hear you. Just pre-ordered and definitely looking forward to reading your book. Thanks for putting in so much time and effort into this. Peace from the east.
Love your videos. Can't wait for my book to arrive. Ordered it last Nov.
Very exciting! I can't wait to get my copy!
Can you imagine how many people went through that space.
That’s a monumental work. All manual and dynamite.
It would be cool to hang an old chandelier in the new mine suite to illuminate it. And maybe an area rug or a roll of astro turf for the floor.
Pooltable @ the nine hundred level👌🏽
Always great, but this is special. Love your sense of adventure and learning. Yes, envy!
Can’t Waite for the book
Hi Brent, thank you!
Im excited to get your book Brent.
What a fantastic achievement! Can't wait to see how the space develops. Would love to see some designers/architects collaborating with the build, so I hope there are some creatives out there who want to take up the challenge and contribute to this unique project. I have visited Derinkuyu in Turkey - the famous underground city 250 feet down with 18 levels. It was once home to 20,000 people! A wonderous experience so there are some inspirational spaces out there. Loved your idea of a bowling alley. I'd like to add an old skool video/pinball arcade!
Your voice is unique and goes well in telling the history of Cerro Gordo and its future.
That's what i loved about old audiobooks you can always hear the page turn!
@12:51 every room you build will need an airfilter. also at this time of the year, i imagine most of the cold air is coming from the jefferson chimminey. if you build "airlock" blankets stapeled or nailed to beams along the hallways around your room it will increase the temperature. though may prevent resh air flow. without some "vents" along the walls and cieling of the blankets.
I've ordered the Audio book! SO EXCITED!!!
Good to see B keep up the good work.
I just pre-ordered your book and I am excited to read it! Thank you for sharing this adventure with all of us!!
How exited !!!! I can’t wait to listen to your audio book ! It’s going to be such a privilege!!!!! 😜😜😜
That is pretty frickin cool!!! Cannot wait to get your book and read it. Love the history you have shred thus far here on RUclips. Thank you for your passion on this project. I can only hope some day I am able to make it out west to see your work in person.
Huge accomplishment seriously! Great work!
Brent i love your videos they help me get through hard times thank you for showing me i feel like im there with you
I'm so excited for the audio book! I just pre-ordered mine. 😀
I think it would be cool to use the track and build cabinets and a small roll away kitchen, maybe a closet, and use the tracks that way. I used to work underground at midas mine nevada, this was a very good video
I CANNOT wait to read this book Brent! I pre-ordered as soon as you sent your first email about it.
Great piece/peace Brent. 900 feet of history.
brent as always you amaze...some comfy chairs that roll on the track perhaps...as the miners are gone maybe some rolly chairs to offer them a seat for their hard work in spirit land.
Pre-Ordered it on audible the other day! Can't wait to listen to it Brent!
a nice 2 foot glass bong would look lovely down there lol.
This is the kind of situation where you go down thinking you are good to go and realize you forgot ONE critical thing. lmao
Glad to see you back down there, but make sure you have an exit plan and ropes etc to get out another way if needed.
With the mine being big and open you should build a loft out of recycled wood !! That would be so bad ass
I'm excited for the book. I preorded the audio book as soon as you announced it.
Great Following Your Progress in all Your Endeavors Brent and Be Safe Alway's because You Bring Entertainment and History to Many People. Brent Your Future Starts Anew Every day And It Looks Awesome...Enjoy All Of It! From Your Fans In Alaska:)
Grow lights and a hydroponics setup could be cool!
Brent you are an inspiration to so many. I wish you great success with your book sales. I can’t wait for my copy to arrive. Be safe and happy exploring my friend.
Love this videos, big dog. Love to bond with my pops over all your amazing videos.
the most authentic definition of RUSTIC!! very cool. congrats on the book.
Just got my pre-order done! I can't wait to listen, too far away though lol. Love the channel and could only dream of coming up to visit one day, really hope to, much luck, can't wait
nice video thanks again for share your life an Cerro Gordo and your adventure in to the mine
Reminds me of the last video that you've done about the ninth level. Thank you for sharing! 👍
Another great video. I got your book on Kindle. Absolutely loved your book. Very well written. Hugs
I highly recommend that if you're going to camp out at the 900 foot level for days at a time that you better get somebody who understands how mines work and come up with serval ways to get out of there in the event of a fire, explosion, flood, collapse and whatever else can happen in a mine. As you mentioned during the video they had a fire in the building above the mine that was a concern but all sorts of awful things could happen down at that 900 foot level and you need multiple ways to get out of there. Your life depends on it.
I ordered the book!!!
Thank you. ❤️
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that!
good one. thanks
Thank you for a neat surprise on a rather down day for me. Just listening to you talk and hearing the joy of discovery and honest enthusiasm that you have for the town and the mine gives a happy lift to my day. :)
You are so welcome! That's very nice to hear.
I preorder audiobook and the regular book thank you for all your amazing content and videos love to watch them all sometimes I watch them over again thank you for all your hard work keep it up
You have to have an electric fireplace at the 900ft level, for ambiance! Oh, and a bathroom!😉👍
I’m so glad you’ve decided on making living space underground. From an exploration perspective, every expedition has base camps to move between so you have a nearby starting out point.
I think if you have the height, one of those desk/bunk bed combos might be space efficient in a taller place, and definitely your living/dining/cooking space at the lift. If you can get the water started then you can probably get some good pressure if you put a tap in that’s fed by the source above you
Don’t forget about the dirty magazine!
Harold Bell Wright, who wrote The Shepherd of the Hills, built and lived in a cabin in Marvel Cave, just outside Branson, Missouri and now within Silver Dollar City.
I pre-ordered your book a month ago. Looking forward to a great read!
I am a huge collector of books but this is the reason I bought the audiobook. I might have to pick up an actual copy of the book
Just bought the book and the audiobook - can't wait :)
Thank you so much! That's awesome
I've pre ordered and I'm really looking forward to your book Brent :)
Amazing! Thank you so much
"You're living it up at the hotel cero gordo..." 🎶🎵🎼🎸🎹
Preordered your new Audio Book on Audible! Can't wait! ... it all started with an idea and the passion to find an old pair of Levi's. Well Done, Brent!!
I'm so excited to listen to your book!! I just pre-ordered mine. I think it's so cool that you recorded it down in the mine. 😆👍
Hello Brent! Your eyes always look huge when you're underground. 😳👍😁
It's dark down there!
Like a kitty in the dark!!! ❤🐱
Very cool video Thanks!!
