    Another great video. Cabin #1 looked like it had a homemade wood stove made from an oil barrel. Cabin #2 was great. Thank you for showing all the interesting artifacts. And, it was so nice to finally see a Joshua tree. Being from the northeast, it was a real treat. So glad you didn't go down that ladder. Always looking forward to the next video. Thanks for all you do and happy holidays. Be safe.

    Those shacks are surprisingly well-decorated and maintained. It seems like someone went through some effort to update it while keeping the rustic feeling. That fire extinguisher can't be too old. Minus the rusty spring bed, and with the addition of a bunk to use a mattress pad on, it would be comfortable to stay in, so long as you don't mind Hantavirus.

    Damn, missed you again lol. Was just there after Thanksgiving. Went down that winze and there are two little drifts that run off that shaft about 25ftdown, each ways about 10 to 15 feet. Then it is just a pit maybe like 20feet below that level. Cool place though
    You drive around the corner to the quarts mine. Some epic colors over there

    Good to see some cabins/huts being maintained and cared for and also open as too many are vandalized or just left to be trashed. I have seen too many trashed huts/cabins in my 65 years.

    • @markthomas2436

    Everyone is doing these two cabins lately. The mice were pretty bad at the second one when I was there in May. Looked clean, didn't see any, until it got dark. After the 7th or 8th one I slept outside. The first cabin is usually visited by peak baggers headed to the high point near it.

    What type and make camera did you use for recording outdoor?
    Maybe it is me but there are some strange compression artefacts that mess with the sky and the countryside, could well be on my end but I don’t notice them elsewhere?
    Cool truck too!

    • @-r-495
      @-r-495 Місяць тому

      21:28 to me it looks like there used to be a stope there where that stall is level with the adit today and filled in with waste from the winze?

    • @-r-495
      @-r-495 Місяць тому

      For comparison, here is another of your videos in a similar setting: m.ua-cam.com/video/dh1tQPY9dBY/v-deo.html
      There are far less compression artefacts than in the video above, even though the resolution seems lower.
      Could also be a mismatch between the memory media and the cameras capabilities.
      Your content is recorded in an incredibly beautiful landscape and I‘m pretty sure others would also chip in and help you out if you want to upgrade your camera gear 😊
