      “Gly”: I’m real happy with how the channel is coming along. I think people appreciate well presented and well produced videos about exploring these places without all the silly stuff you see elsewhere. No ghost stuff or flashlight reviews, just raw adventure and exploration with friends.

    In 1719 in Falu Koppargruva (copper mine) in Sweden, a dead man was found over 150 meters down into the mine. He was not recognized by any of the miners or the foremen, and the rumor soon spread in Mora. One woman, a Margareta Olsdotter, got a look at the dead man and cried out "That's my Mats!". Mats was bethoed to Margareta Olsdotter in the past, but had gone missing in the mine 42 years earlier and wasn't found until now. The remarkable thing is that he was so well preserved that you'd think that he had just tied a few days ago. The copper sulfate in the mine had preserved his body in a remarkable condition, he still looked young and handsome, while his was-to-be wife had aged. He was put on display for many years until he finally was put to rest in the local church.
    The story of Fet-Mats can be found online, but probably only in Swedish.
    Thought I would share this here, some might find it interesting.

So I often wonder if they tried something new and dug them up every few years years til they got the process right.

    This is terrifying. Crawling into that tiny portal in the beginning of the video, on hands and knees crawling into the mine, hoping it opens up and you don’t get trapped, hoping you’d be able to turn around to leave if you had to, instead of crawling backwards. Then the vertical shaft?!? Holy hell I would not have trusted those ladders, I wasn’t there to inspect it but you have balls of steel going down there.

Although it was unbelievable to see all the dead animals, the mineshaft was intense. The cracking of the wood and the potential of collapse, had me biting my nails the whole time. LOL!!!

It was just me with my headlamp walking through a tunnel that was filled one foot deep with water. It was scary but also thrilling at the same time. It gave me a chance to experience what it would actually be like getting lost in that cave alone and that would be terrifying. We also reached a huge room and all sat down and turned our lights off.

Many of them where partially filled/blocked by forest debris. Was pretty unnerving taking a step and feeling the ground start to give way.

      The deepest mineshaft in the world is 2.5 miles. If someone were to throw a 3 lb rock, which is the maximum weight I think a 5 year old could realistically carry, down that shaft it would take 28.65 seconds. I don’t think it would take minutes for an object to land, but I’m sure it certainly felt like it.
