Blowing Up Dynamite To Get Into An Abandoned Mine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Here's a continuation of my search for ways into the main Union Mine at Cerro Gordo without using the central shaft and hoist. This time I start with the Omega Mine, using a loader, backhoe, and dynamite to bust in. Then it was onto the Bullion.
A couple weeks back, Johnny and explored the Bullion Mine in what was the most terrifying mine exploration I'd ever done. You can watch that here:

You are actually living in a video game dude, so cool.
more of the union mine
I want to see you finding some jeans

This channel is better than 99% of TV shows out there.
Seriously...so very true!

💯 📠 , I’ve never been so excited to get a video from a channel to be completely honest . This is so wild and such an AMAZING DREAM coming true and I wish you the best Bret!💜 from San Diego
agreed!!
I’d go as far as to say it’s better than 99.99% better than anything that has been on tv for the last 5 years
Remember Johnny, one pebble falling onto your head can hurt like hell. Glad you're wearing a helmet, but continue being safe. You don't need to impress anyone. You've already impressed us by just going in there.
I wish he'd learn the proper rope techniques so he doesn't even need to touch those sketchy ladders
Wish y’all would just let the man be reckless, clearly has been doing this kinda shit his whole life. He’s a big boy that can make his own big boy decisions regarding safety.
@@ianc3934 they just care enough to let him know lmao
Not to mention that his attitude could get both him and brent killed. This kid is trying to look cool when plunging into a mine that killed 30 people ffs.
@@kevinburgess1033 damn you have a very good point I didn’t think about that
Brent sharing his adventures in Cerro Gordo is the highlight of my 2020.
same
yeah me too
Same here
I hope to visit one day
Amen to that!
If the old miners could hear, I'm sure they would get a good laugh knowing that one of the most valuable & exciting things in the mine today is their britches.😆
Or possibly "unused TP"...
He IS pretty denim obsessed.
@@jonsebastian1366 Well, at 100k+ a pop I would be too!
*Could you use Lidar mapping to track and map your travels then later sew several maps together into a complete mine diagram?*
@@1nvisible1 would probably be doable with old kinect units and some custom code, and be pretty portable.
Man that other guy is a real friend to constantly be down for going into dangerous mines.
probably the best too because he's fearless, god forbid you panic he would be the first to talk you down
You can tell he's having fun with it. This is adventure at it's finest.
He wants them Levi’s
and his hair is Amazing!!!!
he is gay
You should bring a LIDAR scanner and map all these mines and the surrounding area. That could help you figure out where the mines are getting close together, and allow your viewers to explore the mines in VR.
that is exactly what I said in previos videos. That would be so cool!
I'm a land surveyor yet somehow this idea hadn't crossed my mind regarding Cerro Gordo.
Definitely something he should do and with todays technology it's honestly really easy to do.
LIDAR Drone. Bing, bam, done.
you can do it with a compass and string also. you dont need fancy equipment to survey with.
@@texasfossilguy its less about having a map to explore with and having a way to explore it "in person" with vr which could also serve as a map of sorts
It's actually so cool that he has this massive collection of books on Cerro gordo that he can read and then go find what's in that book. Sooooo cool
It pays off to investigate, books can be a wealth of knowledge if you look.
If you're fascinated by history, connecting something intangible you've researched intensely with a real physical place (especially underground), is compelling in a way that can be hard to articulate; it's one of the best thrills out there.
I found it really interesting that the map of the mines was available on eBay, makes you wonder what else is being sold there
I just picture these guys finding an old skeleton and they're just like "HEY LOOK, JEANS!"
HAAHAHHA
I don't think there that heartless.
I think they will at least say a prayer before pulling them off there bones.
@@mikellewis2346 exactly LMAO
Yup!
Everyone remember. The video itself isn't scary. The fact is, if they stop upload then we should be scared
Do you think they have other people that know where they are?
@@jdblc1 surely, but imagine they don't.
Look for em in the 200 if disappear
Obviously someone else is running the dynamite
Overused comment
Putting Johnny more into scene too and making it like a complete duo documentation is really cool! :D
I mentioned this earlier in a previous comment and figured that it's worth it to put it out there.
I know that exploring abandoned mines is inherently risky, but that makes it all the more important for the team to be cautious and smart about exploring. We've seen that Brent understands this but Johny being risky for the sake of looking "cool" is a great way to get both him and Brent killed. Johny is very mistaken when he mentions that, "As long as it's my life I'm risking I'm ok," not only because he is risking Brents life, but he also is risking all the lives that may have to venture into the mine to save him if he gets stuck or breaks a leg. Brent, you are the responsible one here. What you guys are doing is very brave and I admire you for that. But safety comes before ego.
Well said. The hardest and riskiest thing in the world is going down a hole in a rescue operation to retrieve a man who was too reckless to take elementary precautions. It is tantamount to going to the moon for same.
I was trying to find a comment exactly like this. Very well said 👏 The dangers in the mines are endless. The fact that sometimes when there are risky and “cool” things being done, it poses a threat. Would love to see more precaution when they go down instead of these “cool” stunts :/
One of my local heroes passed away recently. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamish_MacInnes
Part of his legacy, are the many innovations in safety and mountain rescue equipment and procedures that he devised.
There is always risk when you go into risky places.
The trick is to identify, and manage that risk. Wearing a hi vis jacket is not about you looking cool or otherwise, its about helping others to see you. I've done my fair share of dumbassed risky things, and so far, been lucky enough not to die.
I've also seen enough examples of what happens when you make a mistake, to know that the only thing that saved me from being the guy on the stretcher or in the body bag was luck.
Keep exploring, keep learning, but first and foremost keep safe.
Pretty sure hes just making light of it.
I’m so jealous of your life. I live in an old military building in Alaska built in 1904. It has all sorts of old relics and things I’ve found over the years. If you ever need a chef to come out there and to cook for the crew and help explore and fix up old buildings I’d be there in a flash.
You prolly should try reaching out to him either by email or IG... you never know
Shit this makes me despise my life so much more than usual. There isn't much I wouldn't do to get out of the suburban Detroit hell I've been stuck in for the past decade. This is an absolute dream lol.
I'll surely die in this shit pit, never having experienced even 1/1,000,000th of the life this dude is blessed with.
@@HitLeftistsWithHammers what’s keeping you from leaving? Bet you could find a job somewhere that was an adventure if that’s what you really want?
@@HitLeftistsWithHammers Leave then... I've lived in several countries and been out of work multiple times and always made things work, it's only your fear that holds you back not reality. You can do what you want.
@@HitLeftistsWithHammers there's always a chance to get out!
That old dynamite guy has to be the most badass old man ive yet to see, good health to him, a modern cowboy
That was hilarious how he nearly dropped the dynamite from his truck.
Interesting to note that getting a dynamite headache is the same thing people get for angina therapy because it dilated the vessels in your brain
If he's old, then I can trust him! Lol.
But he looks like he voted for Trump though.

@@jesus6841 because a lot of people died in a collapse in the 200 level body’s weren’t recovered
@@connorharkness5654 there were 30 miners killed
It's taken me two weeks but I've watched everything on this channel and loved it.
I was born in NV, with abandoned mine entrances visible from my back door growing up. This channel has been captivating for me, a real firsthand witness of a piece of western history. I'm extremely glad to see you now taking safety much more seriously. Like, seriously. Y'all scared the crap out of me. :D
The fact that all of that has just been sitting there, untouched, while the entire world just continued on is fascinating.
You wonder what the circumstances were of the last person to ever go in these places until now and what that was like or if the ever knew it was the last time
@@user-de4cq6uk6l yea
@@user-de4cq6uk6l The last person probably knew. I think it was probably someone checking it one last time to make sure it was good to close down
I wonder if the last miner (not owner or explorer) knew that they would be the last miner to enter there.
This is what fascinates me as well. Our world will not leave many relics behind, since we are so busy constantly tearing everything up and apart to build new stuff.
It's so crazy to think about the people who worked down there. It must have been an insane job going up an down all those ladders every single day.
Just imagine if we could rewind time to get a peak into the past.
Johnny, the helmet, glasses and vest are industry standard. You look prepared, not like a dork. As someone who typically does all black and has to wear this stuff on site too, I empathize. Doing reckless things doesn't make them not reckless, until you do get hurt or worse.
plus, if he gets hurt down there, his friend is gonna have to rescue him. So it's not just your own safety that's on the line.
I lost respect for both of them after they proceeded without proper gear. Brent should have insisted and worn one himself.
yeah that kind of cowboy behavior is never worth it. you only need things to go wrong once for devastating consequences.
I know it's semi-joking; but it's madness to me that he cares more about his appearance, than his safety. Crazy guy!
You are absolutely right!
What's amazing to me is how the miners got all that track and building material down the shafts and onto the levels to build
Same.
amazing how much rock had to come out to make those tunnels
*Exactly Josh, Some of those 8"x8" beams 12' or so long had to be three man jobs on horizontal tunnels alone.*
Right! They are not close to big trees and saw mills. So back in the day, how’d they even get all that material to and INTO the mine??
@@donnachristianson1502 For most of the journey, trains and ships would have carried the timber from where it was felled to the train depots and shipping ports of Los Angeles, but from there they'd likely have had to haul everything up the mountain via horse drawn wagon or similar type of hauling vehicle. There _were_ some steam powered wagons that existed at the time that could have handled that kind of load, but they weren't designed for that kind of rugged terrain and were mainly used to move cargo between ships and warehouses or factories on the docks.
Some shop for denim at Target, others shop for it at Kohl's...whilst others, shop for it at Cerro Gordo
If there isn't some Cerro Gordo branded denim soon, I'll be disappointed.

I think this channel have one of the best communities of the youtube rn, everyone just telling how they like this channel, and a lot of people helping, cheering for him, and giving tips. I definitely love this channel as a whole
Wow that’s so true!
I mean, I didn’t realize that until I saw your comment, so that’s just your point coming true.
It’s definitely the best YT Chanel ever, I can’t wait to go there visit it.
At 21:25 there’s a breathy whisper that says “I know” after Johnny says that’s brilliant
Wtf there is! Creepy.
Damn
Wow. That's wild. I hope Brent sees this comment.
I heard it, too. That's wild.
What in the heavenly fuck. That's so creepy
Hey! Great video!
A few more things about climbing:
1. do not put your arm or head in between the rope and whatever you're climnbing. always keep it in between your body going straight up. Because your arm or head will get trapped in between the rope and the wall or ladder or something else and that could easily break your arm or get you trapped.
2. always secure your rope on multiple points. you tie it down a few feet away from the hole or ledge, and then tie it down again where your rope should be to descend. there are special anchors for this purpose.
3. use pads on the points where your rope is tied around something or where it rubs on a ledge to protect your rope from abrading. climbing rope is expensive and any fraying means that your rope should be thrown away because it won't be safe anymore.
What are the chances you could occasionally include an overlay of your approximate location on the maps you have of the mine? A stretch goal suggestion being, show your location on a 3d rendering of the map.
yeh this would be really cool
"The proper people" did that when they went to that mine, it worked really well and helped us viewers stay orientated.
this is such a good idea!
Definately second this, would be so cool and help to orientate with the mine
Never realized how big those places are till you had your friend in the shot for scale, wow!
Man I love these videos, I eagerly await them every week. Please be careful in there you guys, we all want to come visit Cerro Gordo, and meet you fellas.
30:00 Miners back in the days, "You know what will be funny, if we build tracks to nowhere and people come down here after 100 years follow the tracks believing they found a way, but they dont" lol hhhhhhhh. Troll of the Century.
You should take spray paint and paint marking for mines that youve explored and colour code it to help you navigate them better.
Tell Johnny that he doesn’t look like an idiot in the fluorescent vest- he looks smart!
But he sounds like one a bit when he complains about how could he look alone in the dark 200m under the ground 🤔😀
Yeah, the way he dresses, it'd be like finding Johnny Cash in a coal mine!
The defenition of idiot is not wearing one and calling it dumb.
How cant the people calling that stuff dumb realise is the other way around.
Looks like a health and safety officer
His general disregard for safety is concerning. He's in too much of a rush. I'd certainly never let someone like him be above me underground!
(I'd also prefer he wasn't tied on behind me either!).
Those miners were never recovered. That means they are still wearing their jeans
Yeah but i doubt that he would take the jeans, since they would be in bad condition, and peeling old denim off mummified corpses doesnt sound that appetizing
@@torsken7301 I think you missed the joke pal
@@torsken7301 if they’re jeans he’s looking for I’m sure he would
@@alexsantoro597 I mean, he'd be taking the jeans off dead people. They are dead, but he'd have to burry the corpses with what they had, right? They are still people after all...
@@spxdes4223 this dude bought a really expensive mine to look for jeans. If he sees it he’ll no doubt want it and take it for the 💰
i love brent & johnny’s friendship so much hahaha
Have to write this as I can't watch this in good conscience without knowing I said something. The absolutely casual relationship with safety or concern for best practices in these videos is without a doubt a foreshadow of tragedy. I do a lot of dangerous things, and I am constantly trying to win back slack against the odds with thought, planning, and equipment. Watching these I am 100% sure there is an unfortunate incident in the future if things continue the way they are. So certain that you're flirting with disaster I would feel bad watching these without commenting.
If you own that mine- you set the rules. Safety isn't negotiable. Because one person is cavalier with their life doesn't absolve you from the impact of the fallout. Think of how you felt when the hotel burnt down... the regret for not thinking about the wiring. Now think of that moment after someone acting cavalier and moving too fast gets buried alive, crushed, hell- just a bad leg break, pressure pneumothorax, or a bleeding wound... no way you're going to get back up in time.
Your margins for error are much smaller than you think. That guy being reckless isn't just endangering himself, he's moving quickly and headlong into things that (even if he's the only one who dies) will massively impact you mentally, physically, emotionally, and monetarily. You are missing a ton of warning signs and you may lack the fortitude to be authoritative with those around you. I say all this out of a concern for where this is heading.
Edit: Happy to see you being MORE safety cautious. But you need to stay on that, think over the horizon. I like your videos and your enthusiasm. I don't want anything to happen.
Agree. Literally one wrong foot and it's a broken ankle. The guy is wearing Converse. A rusty nail through the foot. Game over when you are 300ft below ground and miles from anywhere. The recklessness is bordering on arrogance.
I agree. Reckless = stupid. I'm not impressed by Mr. Reckless. Some gets killed, Brent gets sued and loses the mine. Locals that have helped him abandon the project. All because someone was more concerned about cool. There is a safe way to explore this mine. The cavalier attitude towards safety would get you kicked off my mountain.
His mine, his life, his rules quit trying to be his nanny
Seriously some genuine content. Millions of UA-cam channels and I can’t get enough of these authentic vibes..
Honestly man, i've watched youtube for a long long time and this video is the only one i've ever sat on my thumbs waiting for! Amazing channel and a crazy challenge, stay safe and rock on from England UK
This guy is probably the reincarnation of the man who founded the town .

i was alot less scared for you watching this one then the last time you went into that mine
thanks for taking alot more safty precautions
I never knew about nitroglycerine headaches, that was interesting to learn! Thanks!
Peanut Turner yep, my grandfather was taking a nitroglycerin pill for his heart ache, and always got him a headache...
It opens the blood vessels in the body really wide causing a bad head ache. I had to take it once and that's what the doc told me. The head ache was one of the worst I have ever had.
The fact that miners got headaches from NG is what started the medical community to investigate it. It turns out NG dilates the arteries in the body (hence the pounding headache). However, dilating arteries that are closing from a clot or plaque is a good thing for heart patients. As a paramedic, I've given NG to lots of folks with chest pain. I always joke with them and tell them not to sneeze or the NG will explode! :)
Could you just have them hold a stick of dynamite instead of making them take a pill ? :D
Arthur Kortekaas only if YOU are giving them the stick to hold and staying close to monitor the situation....
Hello from Scotland,love what adventures and what your doing.👍🏴
Death trap. I love watching people crawl through old mines....so I don’t ever have to. Thank you. Balls of steel.
It's only 40 feet, but that sudden stop at the bottom hurts like a son of a B.....
@@toddmetzger that's if they added breaks in the ladder, if not, 300 feet.
It feels really cool to start watching a channel from the beginning like this. I can't wait until 10 years down the line, seeing how massive the following is and the town has grown, and being able to say that I'm an OG fan!
"Ladders, why did it have to be Ladders?"
I appreciate a good Indy reference!
I like that you gave us different perspectives by giving Johnny a camera as well. I'd love to see you do this more often!
Thank You Brent for sharing your Home, Cerro Gordo with all of us. You're teaching us all something new every time you make a new video about Cerro Gordo and the surrounding areas and the history that goes with it.
This is genuinely the best channel i have ever found, the UA-cam equivalent of mineshaft levi’s. I really want to visit at some point in my life, the place has something special about it
Every one of your videos makes my day 1000000 times better! Thank you for putting out quality content and documenting a place that is straight out of a dream. Definitely a bucket list travel destination.
That was amazing. Good to see where the mines go. When I saw that track I thought you had found the way in. Was so miffed at it being a dead end. However, it did look amazing.
Wishing you all the best and stay safe and well. Hugs from Surrey England 🏴
I've been binge watching your channel for days now. I'm absolutely hooked on your adventures. I admire your bravery and commend your love for that town. I watch with my daughter and i really hope that someday we can come visit. I'm only in vegas so not too far away. Please be safe! Best thing i have watched in ages!
Quite literally my favourite weekly watch on all platforms, hello from Pembrokeshire Wales :)
Brett is really playing minecraft irl, building a village, exploring abandoned mines, and raising animals lol
😉
Do you realize you're speaking like REALITY was the replica of a game...? XD
I also sometimes get those kinds of reversed thoughts. Crazy how building villages, exploring and raising animals is much easier to imagine in a game than irl. It says a lot about a lot of things! :O
@@SimOmega47 dude, I don't think he genuinely thinks Minecraft invented the idea of mining building and raising animals....

I absolutely love watching you and Johnny explore the mines. I myself am claustrophobic so it is very hard to watch you I those small shafts. I look forward to each new video whether you are going into the mines or just exploring for artifacts. I love preserving bits of history, so thank you for your excitement and never giving up. Looking forward to your next video.
i have no idea why i even stopped to watch this whole 30 min video but this was more entertaining then watching any tv show lmao, keep up the good shit mate

So, miners when down mines and took their jeans off? Image how much silver they could have found if they weren’t having a constant subterranean no pants party.
Lol
Just hearsay from old miners, but I’ve heard some did if it was really hot.
hahaha
🤣🤣
The explanation that I've heard about why jeans were left in mines is because they would take them off and pass them to the next shift of miners that were coming in and I guess when the mines closed and no one returned, there was no one to pass the jeans to so they just remained in the mine.
this guy deserves his own show on discovery channel
IKR
So they can script it and create fake drama? I know what you mean but I have a feeling Brent likes to play by his own rules.
He does but don't tell discovery
So many good people get sold out by discovery
He probably makes more from UA-cam and also doesn’t have to answer to corporations. This is the new discovery channel. Plus he gets more viewers than he would on discovery too.
I think he broke a multitude of health and safety regulations
This is like the curse of oak island, but stuff actually gets done

Good to see you taking safety a bit more seriously. I keep worrying that each video will be your last.
Just a thought but as a snowbird who travels down south every fall and winter if you built a small pad for boondocking, myself and I'm sure others would love to make this place a regular stop. Might be another way to make some income with the property. All it needs is a cleared out road in and a flat area maybe some firepits.
Beautiful property mate, love what you're doing and can't wait to see some of the rebuilds of the town with the hotel
I was up there 3 weeks ago when it was crazy windy just before the snow came through. Very cool to see it snowy up there. The weather up there must be nuts on and off.
Really cool to see Jonny in there with you, gives great perspective on size of the tunnels and the crazy spaces!

Blowing Up Dynamite To Get Into An Abandoned Mine: The awakening of the Cerro Gordo balrog
Shadow and flame.
They delved too greedily and too deep...
i just binge watched your whole YT channel the last couple days and now u upload just when I'm done with the last vid. THanks!
Careful, guys! I'm sure you've heard about this before, but no echo = sketchy azz tunnels! Hence, the buried miners...
Can you elaborate on why thats sketchy?
Isn't it more sketchy if it echoes in an enclosed tunnel system, making it feel like there are gaps inbetween that could lead to collapses?
no echoes = less hard / dense material, potentially unstable (sandy concretions) but hard rock can fall too and in big patches I would guess ? IDK anything about tunnels but I would guess so
@@jrr6947 If there were loads of gaps then sound wouldn't echo I think? So in a solid mine shaft sound should bounce down the mine creating an echo whilst in a bad one with loads of loose rock and gaps/cracks there wouldn't be an echo as the sound gets trapped in them?
I have no expertise on the subject that's just my guesswo fyi.

Finally UA-cam's random suggestions has paid off. Great vids keep em coming 😁
Great ongoing adventure...Compelling...breathtaking...I enjoy every episode and I am with you every step of the way....AMAZING....
Contrary to your friend's opinion, safety always looks and feels rad, there's nothing wrong with hazard manual labor uniform, tell that to your friend -
Ok grandpa
I used to roadcycle on highways for a bit(which is stupid and very illegal) and let me tell you, If you take how stupid you think you look with a helmet and a hi vis vest on and multiply it by 3 and If you’d be THAT stupid you’d still be a lot smarter than you’d be with your brain bits decorating the front of a Toyota Camry. Safety is uncool but an avoidable death is even more uncool
Seriously though, I dig wearing PPE it makes feel like I’m about to do an autopsy on an alien life form or some shit. No lame impressions.
@@emilie6466 if you dig without it then you’ll feel like a bad ass who tells there parents to wake for school
@@luchadorito If a driver wants to hit you, he will hit you, vest or not, you'll die.
if you travel at nighttime on road, then yes, vest is a must, if your wearing one when it's daytime, it just show's your to afraid...
Drunk drivers in fact are like crows, they see shiny things, and they hit them, so kongrats, your risking your life while wearing safety gear :)
besides, it's better to die fast, then to lay in bed for the rest of your life, wailing in pain, which is exactly what happens when you are saved from death, but still hurt badly enough.
Johnny thinks he looks stupid with the safety gear. But in reality, he looks more stupid when he thinks he's above it. Safety is sexy
Cracks me up that Johnny Utah cares about looking cool in an abandoned mine🤦♂️
Seriously. Who cares how you look down in a mine shaft? 🤦♀️
Cringe
Being badass is badass
Funny attitude towards safety, its a super dangerous environment. Gives me anxiety just watching lol
Watching from Loughborough, England. Love the vids, keep it up! 👍
What an awesome adventure. I get to improve upon my boring life by living vicariously through you. Thanks mate.
I feel like worrying about how you look while climbing in an old case is like worrying about how you look when you are swimming with sharks.
Exactly, I don't care this much about my "dress style" even when going out to the city...facepalm AF
"Dynamite, Ropes, Terror"...sounds like my ex-girlfriend. lol. Be safe down there y'all. Keep up the awesome work.
Let me get her number. We sound like besties
@@yorgivon-schmourgeussborgi Only when she's on her meds. lol.
You really made me LOL so much, that came unexpected.. thanks for that!
@@roxydegall3699 me too. That was an awesome belly laugh
That's hilarious. Glad you made it out alive. Hope these get the
B F Rs out of there
Looks like still silver in that mine. A good metal detector would be neat to take down. Also if you see pink rock, it could be colbalt.
Still watching these videos. Catching up slowly but surely!! ❤️from Tennessee!!!
the last thing going on in a mine is a beauty contest, put the vest on!
Hey bro. I love your content. Enjoyed it from the start of the 1ste video. Much love from Holland. Keep it up!!
Famous last words, "I don't have time for that rope".
Last words:
"This is the end of a shovel" - (Proceeds to tap it on the rocks)
That was my reaction too. Until I saw the wood grain and rings on the cut end.
Lmao this comment is underrated
@@awsomegamer8277 haha thank you ive got a few comments on other videos with thousands of views somehow.
