    That was one of the most fear inducing videos ever Bryan! Talk about conquering the phobias! Wow. What an amazing experience for you! Was this the furthest narliest down underground adventure you've ever done?! Roger is a bad ass for sure

    Wow! That looked like a sketchy climb down into hell! You are a lot braver than i ever was! Geeze! Those crystals were pretty but i could never be a miner. To sketchy and claustrophobic for me! Man, you could get lost so easily. And so dusty and you arent wearing a mask or goggles. That was an adventure! Thanks for sharing!

      It is called birth canal because if they were to go any further they could possibly hit a lava pipe and the gases from the lava pipe could suffocate them.

    I love this episode. Roger's enthusiasm is absolutely wonderful. You can tell he really loves the minerals but he also respects the history of the mine as well. Thanks so much for sharing this with us Bryan.
    PS: You'd probably have been better off to have a gopro type set up on your helmet. Yeah, I know. Bit late now and you were probably thinking "I should've put the camera on my helmet".

      It helps that I’m a retired professional underground hard rock miner , that was my career for over 40 years . I’m in my element underground and I take nothing for granted when I’m working I’m always evaluating and re evaluating with my head on a swivel.that’s why I have managed to remain whole and healthy.

    I really like the wulfenite in the matrix that really sparkles in the light. Since watching this channel I have really come to appreciate and see why crystals looks so much better in the matrix. Because it's 100% natural nothing artificially done to them. It's beautiful because it is natural.

Truth! It looked terrifying. And, you know, everything was only a 45 degree angle. How long did that whole tour take? Well, fascinating and glad you made it back to the top! 🧡

      We are open to the public during our mining season for surface collecting only . We do not allow anyone to enter or collect underground at the red cloud mine . I gave Brian the opportunity to join me underground for educational purposes while I did some monthly inspections to keep track of the changing conditions and to have an idea of what needs to be addressed to maintain the environment safely for myself while I’m working down there.
