    Nice to see CBS covering this beautiful and historic area and respecting this unique endeavor. My question is, why they left out the part about K2 mining , a Canadian Company, poised to strip the area of its mineral resources using toxic Cyanide.
    Why CBS would do this story now, after all these years and leave the Elephant in the room OUT seems suspicious. I wonder if K2 got to CBS with some $ to cut that part out, because there’s no other ‘newsworthy’ reason for the timing of this story other than the threat from K2

    He started his channel in 2019, and has already surpassed 1 Million subscribers, and it's continuing to grow exponentially right now, as we speak. I can watch his newest video and notice he's passed 1.1 Million, and by the next weeks video it's gained another 100,000 more at LEAST.
    There's something to be said, he's clearly doing something right. As far as increasing his online popularity.
    Whatever it is, whether people like Brent himself, or they enjoy the whole, "get away from the World," aspect, or the mine explorations, history research in real-time, it was most definitely a good investment, on his part.
    I've been a subscriber myself since I first stumbled upon his channel, and it's one of the few I would recommend to just about anybody in my family or friends. No question about it.

      Do you have links or references, as Cerro Gordo is being endangered by potential large cyanide strip mining operations. The BLM is only taking comments till Aug 30th. Anything that could stop or slow the process would probably be helpful. 💜🌎✌️😎

Comments to the BLM must be in by Aug 30th. Let's stop this like the leases that were stopped in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge.

    If you noticed Brent and the guy from CBS were wearing heavy coats for this video shoot. Not UNCOMMON for tv stations and networks to film something months earlier and then play the video at a later date. So, while it is AUGUST 2021 now, the video looks like it could have been shot in February or March when it was a little chilly out. That being said, there was no way to UPDATE the video to include the threat to the town from this Canadian mining company. CBS probably scheduled the piece to run on their SUNDAY MORNING show on 8/22 months ago. I worked in the media and television for many years and know how the networks operate. Best of luck to Brent to shut down the mining companies attempts at destroying the area with a new open pit mine. He should get HISTORICAL STATUS as soon as possible on the entire town if not done so already?

Perhaps we should even contact Deb Haaland, the new head of the Dept of Interior. The leases on the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge were stopped; maybe we can stop this, too.
