    Good morning Gly,, that ladder looks scary looking down.that section looks like the miners would still be working it. It looks so well preserved. Thank you for the extra effort in showing us what we would have missed. What a great adventure.😊

Thank you, once again, for sharing your explorations and adventures looking at the old mines and sharing the beautiful desert. I'm looking forward to future adventures when Old Bob is up and running. Stay safe.

    I'm the same age as yourself.
    I would definitely would like to explore old mines but unfortunately I have arthritis in my spine and most other joints. Respect on taking it safe and slow.
    I have seen others on RUclips who are too complacent when it comes to exploring old mines. You have to be prepared for any eventuality and forward think on the decisions you make for yourself and others.
    Stay safe and keep the content coming 👍

    I drove a truck for a dozen years Gly. I had to lose twenty pounds quickly to lower my cholesterol. I ate one meal in the evening after driving that was a medium size Stoffers lasagna of your choice but I chose the cheese. It only took a few months and I celebrated with a cop box of Krispy Kremes lol. You must snack to prevent the hunger and do it wisely. I weigh 227 now and had weighed 250 at 6'. It was hard to bend over.

    Gly talking about wanting to find a good girl is somehow so wholesome and endearing to me, and slightly funny.
    You're definitely not the only man out there wishing for a type of girl they can't seem to find. I just turned 25, Dutchman, and over here in Rotterdam, the big city, it's tremendously difficult to find a traditional, feminine, sweet, nurturing, patient, warm-hearted woman who doesn't give it away to everyone at some dancing night at your local club and so on...

    Stopes were fully worked with just enough dirt pulled from chutes for the miner to be able to work comfortably on top of the fresh dirt for the next cut above him, so you timbered your ladder way as it was the only access to the working face, when no more ore was found, the whole stope was emptied of dirt through the chutes."

    Looks like the date on that powder box was April 15 1925. Be careful, man. Always let someone know where you're going and always leave a trail of breadcrumbs, so to speak, so someone can figure out where you are in the mine. Doesn't have to be much. Little strips of fluorescent tape that you can drop at periodic intervals would do wonders to help find you if you got hurt or stuck, and wouldn't take up much space or be difficult to retrieve on the way out.

    Gly, Good day. 1875 - 1918, huge discovery. You have track, quite extensive. What else awaits us, now i know how old you are, been there done that, 72 in Dec. Aren't you glad you didn't bring anyone else with you in the same condition. It was fun Gly, don't put yourself down, we all appreciate what you do, take it easy, praying for you. You're a smart man, knowing how your body works, having the expertise of being a nurse of sorts. Stay strong, live long.

    Yes, lose a bit of weight, Gly, your body will thank you!! I’m 5’11” and ~165 pounds. During my last year of working as a painter when I was 68, according to my iPhone, I was walking from 7,000-14,000 steps a day and climbing up and down between 1 and 68 stories (and the phone usually did not recognize 3/4 of trips up and down ladders for some reason!). You still have a lot of time as long as you stay in shape! Love your videos and dedication, sir!

  • @mickie7873
    @mickie7873 11 месяцев назад

    I wonder what that Green rock was, scattered in the pile where the stope broke thru.(where you went left of the adet ladder). Just thinking, did you drive back to "camp" and start this explore another day or did you continue in this area after filming Eps.#1 and Eps.#2? Because if you were attempting to get all of this on film in one day, then you expected too much of yourself and just "ran out of juice". (well, yes, I do agree with you that you are carrying too much weight, so time to be more active and eat less within one week......at a time. Thanks for this re-run. (and current films show that you shed some lbs., good for you!).

    If having heart pain have an aspirin and chew on it until there are no grains of it. That can reduce chances of having the heart attack greatly. The difference between living or dying can be between having the aspirin with you or not. Never had a full blown heart attack because if i start to get heart pain that should not be there i have an aspirin and the heart pain goes away. Also the price of aspirin is cheaper than hospital or medical help. An exercise bike can be a way to get fiter if used with effort for half an hour a day.If it does not kill you. Or using a skipping rope to level where it goes under your feet several times when on a single jump. Have not much done it since i was young. Wife won a quality exercise bike machine so i have choice to use it if i want. Is more a case of fitness not age i believe. If having a heart attack climbing out might finish you off. Aspirin takes about 5 to 6 minutes to kick in to help prevent a heart attack. How would i know? Well i have probably nearly had a heart attack several hundred times because when i was much younger i managed to damage my heart by asthma attack. If fitter and not into the alky-hol you might be able to look into mines into your 80s if you stay healthy. Most people have a vice of some sort to damage themselves. Best of luck to you.😊

    Just remember 100 feet in = 300 feet out
    over weight and under powered
    discretion is the better part of valor
    Puzzle me this, huge amounts of material came out of this hole in the ground. How did they get that kind of volume out? Most assuredly not with that ore bucket. there has to be some high volume material removal system somewhere.
    My thinking is it did not go out the top because I see no evidence of that kind of lifting system and pretty soon the weight of the cable reduces the lifting ability to nothing.

    Two things come to mind. The last "ladder" you showed where someone removed the lower part, had the rungs on the backside of it. I am sure it would work, but it does put a lot more stress on the rungs coming off as you use it. Second, you talked about finding a girl that is both interested in the activities you enjoy AND being physically fit. And there you totally carrying too much weight yourself... Seemed odd state what you wanted in a mate and you not in the best shape yourself... Anyway, thumbs Up for the video!
