    My great-grandfather died an incredibly painful and awful death of asbestos poisoning or exposure. I guess my great-grandmother sued the company he worked for and won a pretty large settlement but it stopped paying out when she passed away. It's some scary stuff man. Be careful

      My father also passed due to asbestos exposure/poisoning

      @f1guremeout Месяц назад

      Yea, if you know about asbestos, it's no joke. (Google, folks)
      It's not that they didn't WANT to use it, its a hazard to use it in the first place, so we DON'T use it anymore.
      Don't breathe it, fibers are like hooks that spear into your lungs causing cancer.

      My grandfather worked in all the schools he worked with it too n ended up with ocpd bad. He kept smokin tho till almost the end. He kinda traded my life for his. That's a long story. But it's crazy what they worked in to support the family ❤ may they both rest in peace he's with my grandma she passed first.

    My husband-ex and I built Jade City back in 1985. Cassia was in full swing and supplied us with groceries, banking,hospital. We had the best Dr.s and nurses.
    Stories are the tailings pile is full of very then valuable items like trucks, equipment and even Gold.

    The reason I'm attracted to the videos where you are struggling!!!
    Is because seeing you OVERCOME the struggles is PROFOUND. watching a dude live in a van and there aren't struggles isn't super inspiring. You are living an alternative lifestyle, seeing how you overcome your struggles inspires us.

    Asbestos is not to be messed with. It is highly toxic if the fibers are breathed in. No exposure is considered acceptable.

    When I was a kid, my folks and I visited Cassiar in 1992 just when it was due to be shut down. Didn't take long to get the homes out. All of them were modular, no nails. Just had to break down the walls and get them out. I barely remember it, but I know that all the employees were gone when we visited.
    That OSHKOSH is highly desired. Detroit power, probably a 12V71T.

    Reminds me of Elliot Lake ontario. I became a near ghost town in the 1990s due to the closure of the uranium mine now an old age resettlement place. I find it fascinating that there used to be houses on the main road he was driving on that are now gone. If i had old footage I would superimpose the houses over the forest to show then and now.

    Go for what you want Chrome. I think it would be absolutely awesome. Not everyone is into it, and that is ok. Once you are happy inside then others may start opening themselves up to learning new things and ways. Your life is not about following a trend that society gets on board with right away. You are not a person who goes with living on the safe side. Be you ❤

I've been to Cassiar when I was 12. There was snow in August! There was also the character called Mighty Moe who moved to Terrace after Cassiar closed down.
    Safe travels and a smoosh to Cruz from me!!

    I don't want to cause unnecessary concern Chrome, but please put that asbestos mineral/rock in a sealed bag so you don't breathe in the fibres. Licking it isn't really a concern, but breathing the fibres into your lungs can cause irrepairable damage.
