    Abandoned & Forgotten Places
    Documenting abandoned mines like never before!
    Let's take abandoned mine exploring to the next level!
    With your support you can help make this the best abandoned mine exploring channel on RUclips!
    Shot entirely in 4K! ...so, turn up those video settings!
    On this channel we go deep... REALLY DEEP into abandoned mines and tunnels all throughout the western United States. We researched some of the harder to find mines and hiked or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with cool artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver, and other minerals.
    A&FP moves just a bit slower as compared to other mine exploring channels. Gly discusses why the miners chose these sites and he points out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men lose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day.
    DANGERS? Oh yes, there’s allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders, and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock!
    Gly takes abandoned mine exploring seriously with all the proper safety equipment, training, and experience necessary to do this activity as safe as possible but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun along the way. “Gly”, your host and his band of crazy characters “Old Bob” (Gly’s Jeep), “Quackers” (Gly’s duck) and “Bobbie” (Gly’s hula girl) are sure to brighten your day with their comments and silly antics. Heck, they may even give you a chuckle or two.
    Just like Saturday morning cartoons before the internet was invented, Abandoned and Forgotten Places uploads each Saturday at 7:00AM PST. (that’s 10:00AM for you eastern folks) so don’t forget to click that subscribe button and bell icon to receive notifications of new episodes!
    Please LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT! All these things help grow our channel and your financial support helps us find new locations and helps put fuel into “Old Bobs” tank. Old Bob, thanks you!
    Ok, now for the ugly stuff...

      My Grandma had colon cancer in the early 1980s. She had eaten alot of processed meats, nitrate and nitrite cured and since I quit eating the same meats my colon polyps have almost all disappeared. I am 64 years old and am disabled. I was hit by an SUV while, I was in a crosswalk and am dealing with the problems associated with that. I have to say that I am curious as to whether or not Gly ate alot of processed and nitrate/nitrite cured meats throughout his life.

    Interesting. I had a somewhat similar experience, except it was with psoriatic arthritis rather than cancer… It left me bedridden for three years and me thinking my life was over before I finally got the correct diagnosis and treatment. That kind of experience changes your perspective on a lot of things... As I was slowly coming out of that is when I really got into the mine exploring.

      @@ChurchOfTheHolyMho Thank you. It came on slowly with a painful, swollen right knee and gradually spread through more and more of my body and the pain kept getting worse. The doctors had no clue and so I went through all sorts of painful and useless procedures from physical therapy to even having surgery on the knee and, of course, none of that helped. I ended up not even being able to cross a small room without assistance. Pretty horrible, but that sort of experience sure allows me to appreciate being able to do what I do in these old mines (and elsewhere) now.

    Also, Mr. M, you are a wizard with that teacup! It's crazy you started off watching Frank, he live a couple hours away from me here in Canada. Super cool.

    Gly, I also have nerve myopathy and every so often, I suffer from the burning, painful feeling in my feet, primarily the bottom and the toes. I've found that my Rx of Voltaren Gel 1% aka Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel 1% ( I use it also for the back of my hands), works great for this. It really does alleviate a LOT of the pain and discomfort. Ask your Dr if he/she will Rx you some and give it a try. I think you'll like it as much as I do. A side note, it does not stink. It actually has a pleasant smell to it.

  • @Tusker2zero2
    @Tusker2zero2 3 года назад +1

    About 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with end stage renal failure (a.k.a. Kidney Disease). I've had to have a few surgeries and spend three days a week at a dialysis treatment center. I spend 4 hours each treatment day connected to a machine that filters my blood. I'm disabled and can't get around much anymore. So, one thing I like to do while on the machine or recovering at home is to watch RV traveling and mine exploration videos. It keeps me occupied (keeps my mind off the bad stuff) and lets me experince new things and places. So, I would like to give you and all the other mining channels out there a big shout out and to thank you all for taking all the time and trouble of putting all these videos together. Believe me, it's much appreciated and really helps us folks who are going through a bad situation in our lives. Stay safe and be well, Gly & Mr. M.

I have PH cause of sleep apnea so I don't get to go out and explore anymore. I miss it bad. Watching your videos makes me want to out and explore, but not able to physically do it yet. Thanks for the gypsy music, good to listen to that while exploring.
