    All I would need is food and water. If I didn't have a family, I'd honestly do this for free cause I feel like I was born way too late. When Jason uploads, my whole week changes cause he sends my mind into the mountains and I dream about doing what most people think is insane hard work but I was raised on a farm and I don't know anything else. I absolutely love this channel and would rub elbows with Jason and his men any day. Again, always watching from Colorado. Wishing you the very best of the best.❤

      Dude if you haven't been to the Cascades mountains, I highly recommend any of them as a vacation destination. They're so spaced out, the views from the peaks are unlike any other mountain range

      @dizzious my wife is from Seattle, and I lived there for a year . I was just asking her if she wants to move to Bellingham. The Denver metro is just too much and too fast. We work too much and rarely get to go into the rockies and camp. I have to get my kids somewhere peaceful and also not too fast-paced. Maybe I just show up at Jason's shop with my welder and bag of tools some day. Just point me at the work.

    I dont have a gold mine but i too have learned many old timers lifetimes worth of knowledge from you Jason. I am humbled by just how good of a man you are and your passion shines through these videos. I am reminded of a video you made where you came across a large cedar in the forest and went off topic about how much arborism interests you....its moments like that that i find invaluable. In my experience as salesman i have found that there is nothing better in the world than:
    1. Selling a product that not only works but one you can be proud of the craftsmanship about (you dont have the problem of upset customers after the sale.)
    2. Selling products in the industry your most passionate about, your hobby turned career (your literally doing what you love to do!) Your marketing efforts are SO much more effective when you work and make content geared at increasing business because your naturally passionate about it!
    From all of us aspiring amateur geologists that have been bitten by the gold bug i want to say thank you for gathering and concentrating all this knowledge my friend

    Hey Jason, now you’re out mining Montana style! My grandfather prospected all over the Beartooth Plateau back in the 50’s and 60’s. He used to laugh at us kids hiding under a tent awning or a tree to escape the rain. He always said he endured snow every month of the year in order to keep mining gold and silver. As My brother and I grew, we adventured in the footsteps of my grandpa, the area is now all wilderness yet there are old tracks from the early prospectors. One right-of-way mining road ventures far into the mountains. On the way to climb the North Face of Glacier Peak, we drove my 83 Toyota as far as legally possible. The end of that road almost makes it to the Goose Lake Mine which is near where Grasshopper Glacier (now Grasshopper Lake) once sat. We were fortunate at ages 13 and 15 to have crossed the glacier when the black band of ancient 4 and 5 inch grasshoppers still existed. Thanks for the amazing video content, I always enjoy watching them. Well here I go, off to the mountain a for a week, far from cell phone service!

    Gold mines are always looking good men these days, any I mind all over Canada. Alaska worked in one mine there I think it was called the AJ mine back 81 Chapis Mexico was fairly interesting, shook a lot of hands in Choppa Mexico, and a lot of those guys are dead from one way or the other, Gold mining was obviously hardest because you’re chasing small veins all Jack legwork. I did a lot of drifting too. I do miss it anyway great show, You don’t see much VG when you’re actually mining gold. Just chasing veins.

    Alaska is extreme and beautiful and incredible for minerals. Now if you want extreme on the hot end of 123° in the shade sometimes in the summer come down to Mojave County Arizona, the gold is just as good but it's different type of gold and more processing involved, but it's flipping the tortilla on the other side of the spectrum for difficulty due to the heat
