Nice one man. Thank you. Patience with ligament injuries. And Comfrey too. I simmer the leaf in olive oil, strain it, add 2% DMSO, apply daily and things get better pretty quick. Keeps in the fridge for ages. I tore a knee ligament 35 years ago and never got an op. I might feel it very occasionally at the start of winter now that I am older. Mostly fine. But may I say… what I get inquisitive about when watching your adventures are the different coloured rocks and mineralisation that I get glimpses of. today it was the golden patches amongst the 'Andasite'. Wishing you'd show me the formation, texture, chip a bit off with your hammer. From personal experience, the gopro doesn't do the close up detailed thing very well. But phones are really great. With their built in torches and multi lens goodness. Including some close up shots of things along the way would help to keep things dynamic IMO. Mix things up a little. Having the second camera handy and shooting small clips would lift your production value for sure. Like the eel or the deep water at the end of the diggings. The deep holes you could fall into, etc.
@@waynoswaynos thanks. I like the idea of mixing up that special potion for my knee injury. Its definitely worth a try. I agree with you about the extra footage I should try and get. I raced through this tunnel too fast. Ill try and focus on points of interest along the way next time.
@@StevenAverage Sweet as man. And nice to hear from you. Note with comfrey there are two kinds. Symphytum officinale is the legit one and Prickly Comfrey is not good. I live close to a community garden down in Canterbury and the stuff is all over. Used to fix nitrogen. Grows most of the year. You might find similar in your area. To a 4 litre pot I'll half fill it with chopped leaves and use 2 cups of good olive oil. Good because it soaks in making it non greasy. DMSO alone can work wonders which is why they use it on injured race horses that as you know are worth more than you and me combined! A place in Kapiti Coast sells it. Only use a couple of drops at a time on inflammation or infection. Stroke victims get better when they take it. And re videography I had a girlfriend years back that worked in film. Those little snipits she called Cutaways. They were something that they searched for daily. Could be flora or fauna. Including audio. Watch a kids cartoon from the next room and every minute or less you'll see a flash of white. This snaps kids/peeps out of the catatonic trance the 'programming' is causing. Psychologically the Cutaways do a similar job. You can get an idea of the timing of when and how much to do this from the best docos. What lenses, wide or long. When to pipe down, etc. There is a formula. Not a criticism.
@@waynoswaynos I will have to google the DMSO. Comfrey sounds like something that already grows in my garden. Ill mention it to my mum, no doubt she will know all about it. I enjoy getting comments and replying to them, especially ones like yours that have some detail. The only way I can get better is if I soak up all the tips and critisism and make changes where I can.
Know this one, didn't have the boots to get too far in. Glad you made it to the end so we don't have to. Buck reef? Made it to the base years ago, not sure if it's possible now. Great vids xxx
@@wilsonwilson8086 it would be suicide to go any further in. I dont think theres breathable air past that bit of collapse I climbed on top of. Ive never actually made it to the base of Buck Rock, I dont know where the track for it is. Ive read the Buck Reef itself goes from here, right over as far as the Tui Mine area. Thanks for watching : )
@@StevenAverage used to be a route to the reef about 20min before Hardies House site. On the main track ,on the left.Watch your footing, big drops and vertical shafts everywhere...
@@Bob-h3n Ive been wondering the same thing all day. I can only think its the north side of the crown stope. I hope not though, I still had plans of going in there again. Obviously I also hope no one was inside, if there was a collapse
@@StevenAverage They said it looked as someone dug a channel with a pick. Can't imagine anyone wanting to do that. It will have killed a lot of things, I used to work for a professor of marine biology who studied the native trout Kokopu and basically everything native in freshwater. This will have killed everything down stream.
@@JohnWilson-cs7iq the goldrush would have been a wild time. Someone must have made a lot of money, they left behind some beautiful old buildings in towns around the area.
@@StevenAverageThis whole mining complex never really made much money, despite numerous attempts even as late as the 1950s. The lower tunnel you are in ended up being a total bust, as you say in your commentary.
@@willieidle8122 thanks for watching. It certainly wasnt for a lack of trying. It seems like they over invested and the processing methods werent pefected yet. Some of the mines up there seem to have good looking quartz even now and some dont. Nothing like what Ive seen in Thames

Wonder who drained the mine into the river?

@@Bob-h3n there are unscrupulous explorers around. The same ones that use grinders to get through gates. Thats not my game though
Got named buck reef for a reason. Man they squandered some money. Well share holders money I guess.
