“Gly”: This post is about gas monitors, the brand we use and why we use them. I encourage any safety advisors or people who work with these to engage in the conversation to better educate myself and the public. Firstly, let’s look at the types of gas and environments these monitors detect. O2 = Oxygen CO = Carbon Monoxide CO2 = Carbon Dioxide CH4 = Methane H2S = Hydrogen Sulfide NH3 = Ammonia and… LEL = Lower Explosive Limit For our application, exploring abandoned hard rock mines (NOT coal mines), we only use MSA ALTAIR, O2 and H2S single gas detectors instead of the more expensive four gas detectors and here’s why. Abandoned mines can contain an abundance of rusting metal and rotting plant material such as ore chutes, support stulls and crossties. The process of decomposition, especially in wet or damp conditions, uses up oxygen and can create low oxygen environments. This is why we use an O2 single gas monitor for these conditions. Abandoned mines can contain sulfide minerals such as Pyrite, Chalcopyrite, Cinnabar and Galena just to name a few. When these minerals come in contact with acidic water they begin to produce H2S via a process called hydrolysis releasing H2S gas and this is why we use an H2S single gas monitor for these conditions. Many folks refer to these low oxygen conditions as “bad air” or “black damp” and can kill quickly depending on their concentration. The gas monitor is intended to give you an alarm warning as you enter the environment so you can quickly retreat from the area. The following is my opinion, but please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong or add to the conversation: Many four gas monitors detect for CO, CH4, NH3 and LEL as well as O2 and H2S depending on the manufacturer. I feel as though the detection of these other gases in my application (hard rock abandoned mines) is unnecessary because an O2 monitor will detect the same low oxygen environment if these gases are present. LEL is also unnecessary in my application. Four gas monitors are a popular choice among hard rock abandoned mine exploration but why spend the extra money? A four gas monitor can run as high as $1200 when a single gas monitor is less than $250. Sure, it looks cool but I find the four gas monitor completely unnecessary for my application. Feel free to comment, thank you.
That was a great exploration! Glad the both of you made it safe. I am from AZ. and can't wait til you come back here. I hope you cover the Bradshaws area again and maybe some out by Globe. Laura is a very cool chick! Love her giggle! Stay safe!
@@upcoming H2S would have helped. Gly only seemed to be carrying an O2 detector on this mission. It's all well and good monitoring O2 levels but you also need to know what is replacing the Oxygen when the O2 levels drop. H2S is not to be scoffed at and is deadly.
What, you might ask, are the health effects of hydrogen sulfide? Health effects vary with how long and at what level you are exposed. Asthmatics may be at greater risk. Low concentrations - irritation of eyes, nose, throat, or respiratory system; effects can be delayed. Moderate concentrations - more severe eye and respiratory effects, headache, dizziness, nausea, coughing, vomiting and difficulty breathing. High concentrations - shock, convulsions, unable to breathe, coma, death; effects can be extremely rapid (within a few breaths). Its 'aint something to be trifled with.
Have you ever thought about taking some orange paint with you into the mines? When you want to throw a rock down an ore pass, etc. Paint the rock orange and then when you go to a lower passage you can look to find the rock you threw down.
Despite Gly's great discomfort upon being gassed, I really enjoyed this video. You two are really coalescing as a team and I enjoy the Gly and Laura work more and more. Thank you for the adventure (armchair on my part!).
Gly & Laura I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything that you do and I get to sit and watch it outstanding! however, one thing I am a retired oil worker and I can tell you is that H2S is no joke, the worst part about H2S is that it will kill your sense of smell and you won't smell the sulfur anymore and you think you're OK and down you go so please please please be very careful with that H2S
Gly & Laura, You guys have definitely followed the trail. Thank you❤❤❤❤❤ Laura, when you were back in fresh air , and you were holding the light , You looked like an Angel with a crown on. Your you’re beautiful. Stay Safe, Always. …
Hey you two! This episode was a real treat but I'm glad you two are okay! I know you get way more brave running as a pair, you've mentioned it in a ton of videos. Invest in a 4 gas monitor and keep chasing guys!
You’ll check out a thing called Spare Air. It’s a emergency air supply for divers. You could get it filled with 100% pure O2 for times like this. Force all the bad stuff out of your system.
What a treat guys! although very worrying there for a moment. The partnership continues to run smoother with every passing week, congratulations on the recent upsurge in subscribers too. What a team you are! Love and best wishes until Monday, then Wednesday xxx
I've been real anxious to see this episode. By the way you explained things on Facebook, I thought is a whole lot worse. I am so glad you, Gly, are ok, and that Laura was just fine. DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE! I've been worried about you. Thanks again for another wonderful episode.
Very awesome addit, spectacular colors and formations. Hey Gly, you should keep you air monitor lower on your person, if theres bad air where its currently located you will have almost no warning till you are engulfed in the gases. Please be careful,
Hi Gly and Laura, quick request, when you are in a calcite featured area, I would be curious what it would look like in black light thanks. Love the videos you do such a good job ❤❤
Gly, I'm not surprised that you ended up feeding the wildlife your recycled lunch after being in that enviroment of bad air. But good to see that both of you got out of there safely.
Gly, Laura I am very appreciative of you both digging this adit out . I want to say this one is over the top with all the geological features, sulfides, calcite, flow stone etc. Also the velvet can and the school boy peanut butter can! Looked it up online and several different label combinations. I am sorry you got gassed walking through that water . I hope you feel better soon. You don’t have to do that again for me or anyone else , not worth it . But I appreciate all that you both do . See you Wednesday. 🙂👍🏼🫂
Glad you survived the ordeal. That was a spectacular mine explore!! Awesome! I love watching your channel and FINALLY became a member. I watch on my big screen TV and cannot sign into UA-cam when I do so or I would put a LIKE check EVERY TIME I watch! Gly knowing the geology is what I like most, besides the exploration you two perform. Great channel and glad I found it. Laura complements the channel very well in my opinion.
2013 in a Victorian gold mine in Wales I caught a whiff of bad gas when we'd passed through some standing water. We had a few inexperienced explorers with us so exchanged glances with my friends and quickly got us back to good air before explaining what had happened and symptoms to look out for... A couple of people experienced headaches and nausea. Then in the pub when it was just the boys, one of the lads, a quiet man, sheepishly admitted to me that he'd broken wind ahead of us 😂 we still call him "bad gas Craig"
You get so excited about 1930s dynamite boxes. We have Hob nail boot footprints in the mud from miners in 1800s working the slate mines in Wales UK . And treadmill winches. But still love your videos. Think the best I remember was when you went deep down in the mine and found that compressed gas cylinder the still has contents in it. Awesome.
If you're going to do the wet mines more often, get a 4 gas monitor!. and, moving air doesn't mean good air. All in all, thanks for showing us that beautiful mine! be safe.
I was watching for the tidbits of sixty hours of editing. You did a nice job and super happy you let us know a day in advance that you survived. That would have been a tough recovery/ extraction from the tight and steep entry. Great job!
1000 ft shafts and widow makers hanging from the back of a mine are obvious dangers. Gly has shown his bravery many times on A&FP with some very foolhardy stunts like venturing into sketchy collapse areas etc. Sadly in this episode he forgot that just because you cannot see a danger does not mean it is not there. Poison gas is an ever present risk in every mine and I hope this incident will help wake him up a little and he will listen to the advice others have given him here in the comments. Gly acknowledged things had gone wrong on this explore after he made it out of the mine, but laughed it off like he was a twenty year old. Gly, please don’t forget you are now a role model to many young people, you need to be more responsible in future. Entering a mine without the correct gas detection equipment is a big no-no.
I encountered that same calcite crust floating on water in the basement of an early 1900s bank. I didn't have to walk in it as there were some boards on the floor that were just fractions of an inch above the surface of the calcite. The building was and is still in use but, basement sure isn't.
Hi Gly & Laura. Wow nailbiter after the preview every step and corner was waiting for you to throw up.....😅 Give us more suspenders..... Whoops suspense 😂 good for the ratings. Thanks again for your efforts really enjoyed. Stay safe
Your School Boys can was peanut butter. I found photos on Google. Good explore, and I'm glad you both got out safely. I can't see Laura trying to move you if the gases had knocked you out, you know?
I always find your videos interesting and I enjoy watching them. I wish I could explore like both of you, but my age and health are not with me. I hope any bacteria from that water will not damage you internally
One of the most beautiful, but dangerous mines, i have ever seen on UA-cam. It takes a special kind of crazy, to go into those places. That being said, respect to the both of you, for the things you do. Gly..Hope you're o/k mate?
i watched this and i was surprised about the water in the mine and even more surprised gly went in it lol . as a viewer of ukame i knew the calcite crust would cause an issue but it was a pretty mine and is the sort of stuff you see in wet mines. and just as i finished the vid ukame posted a new vid where they found a mine and got so far in and it was flooded so they had a quick talk about going back for the wet suites and decided against it and pushed on in and got "sausage deep" in freezing water and it was only after passing a few collapses when the o2 levels dropped to 15.6 they decided to exit the mine. it was a good evenings entertainment (apart from gly retching etc) and one vid kind of led into the other almost like a double feature.
Mines with water in them always make me tense for those exploring it. In areas that you walked thru you displaced the natural occurance that makes caves. Then you broke the crust on that Sulfite water thru that one adet branch. Not good, as you often warn about breaking water surface which can expose any gases.AND IT DID! Fortunately you did not breath it in for any extended time. At 50:52, Laura should have given you a shove thru that squeeze. (that explore was overseen by "forces" that you two weren't even aware of, but brought you back safely.) Hurrah!
Something you might try next tin=me you come across calcite stal, is shining a strong light up close against it and the switch off the lights. Some formations will actually glow in the dark for a short while. I used to do it with electronic flashguns back in the day.
i see you have your indicator cloth out. Do you still use it all the time? I like that laura is more interactive. I think when laura finds an artifact, Gly should remember to show the audience. I look forward to each an every episode during the week. Gly has a soothing voice to me. Awesome editing!
Thank you. I really enjoyed seeing that old mine very much. When you first entered it really looked like a Lava Flow kind of. You guys a Great. Thumbs up for that Video. Now that was still a Nevada Mine correct ? Also what were they Mining for ?
That music masked the sound of you trying not to projectile vomit all over Laura. Poor Gly. All over the hole, no you mean all over Laura. LOL At least you noticed you weren't feeling good. Laura is a good sport. Awesome video.
Sweet mine. I love it when Gly gets giddy. Just a few questions if I may ? - With the water running past you as you walk, where did it go ? I saw the pools of water but to me the pools would be deeper than what they look like. If the water keeps pooling up. ( Serious shriveled things happened for sure when you first stepped into that cold water ). - I can't remember what mine it was, but you were going down a ladder in the pitch black of space with a camera facing down and backwards. Until you ran out of the ladder. I'm so glad nothing went wrong (and I hope nothing ever does). I don't think you were even tied off to anything either. Question is, what made you do that and would you ever do that again with Laura and being tied off. Every week you and Laura do the impossible and I appreciate it as usual. Be safe. & Remember... Safety 3rd.. (Safety 1st, 2nd, and 3rd)
H2S is quick and very deadly, I met a guy that survived because he had only gotten one small wiff but that tiny bit almost killed him he immediately went into convulsions and . they had to remove his vocal cords and today he is permanently disabled… Lots of sulfur and water in that mine… you need to keep the monitor lower on your body ! Yes I agree that those bubbles were more than likely toxic !!!
Even if I had not seen the title, when you reached the end of the adit and were looking at the first can, I knew you had been gassed. Your movements and speech were changed. Don't have to do that again on my account.
Greetings from Herford, where it's still hot as hell in the afternoon. I enjoy wet mines because they're constantly changing every year. Especially those that get Frozen. Nature does the mining for you.
That fisheye lens on the camera that you used while digging made the scene look like an Escher drawing where I couldn't tell what was level ground, and what was vertical. Fun times, though. Brings back memories of looking for caves to dig into in my youth. I think I would have brought at least the hoe in with me in case where was a slough of dirt and gravel funneled in from outside while I was in there.
Gly needs another drone that can craw around in these tight spots and areas that may or may not have bad air. Drones aren't affected by that. Wouldn't that be cool ?
Gly and Laura, Frank would be laughing, but this is virgin territory. Explore the way through. Stalactite's, looking very nice. Feb 10, 1936 good number. School boy and Red Velvet tobacco, nice artifacts. I'm glad you two dug into this one, thanks. Nice breeze coming out of that mine, a small bush with a few leaves rustling in the breeze.
I'm not sure that air monitor is to be trusted. How long didn't take you to feel ok again, and were there any residual effects? Hedache weakness? Etc. Pls dot feelyouhave to cross calcite h2o again. It's not worth it. How hard was it to hike back out of there, after going thru that adventure? Worried about u two! I appreciate you always for the effort you put into your videos, but we don't want you to damage yourselves doing it. You both are very special to us all!
Not positive, but I’m wondering if the board with holes was part of storage for electrical fuses or lightbulbs and they probably repurposed it. Glad you’re alright, Stay safe out there.
“Gly”: This post is about gas monitors, the brand we use and why we use them. I encourage any safety advisors or people who work with these to engage in the conversation to better educate myself and the public.

For our application, exploring abandoned hard rock mines (NOT coal mines), we only use MSA ALTAIR, O2 and H2S single gas detectors instead of the more expensive four gas detectors and here’s why.

When are the zombies going to make an appearance? It's getting to be that spooky season!
That was a great exploration! Glad the both of you made it safe. I am from AZ. and can't wait til you come back here. I hope you cover the Bradshaws area again and maybe some out by Globe. Laura is a very cool chick! Love her giggle! Stay safe!

36:05 That's School Boy peanut butter! Never have seen it either but it was a brand in the 1920s-30s and was made in Seattle.
Absolutely right! Pinterest has a great picture of it!
Have you ever thought about taking some orange paint with you into the mines? When you want to throw a rock down an ore pass, etc. Paint the rock orange and then when you go to a lower passage you can look to find the rock you threw down.

55:38 "Hey! Shrubbery." Laura's one-off side comments are the best 😂
Gly, this is one of the best adits you've ever crawled into!
Laura, you showing Gly up on the diggin', you go girl!
Gly I'm glad that you didn't get really really sick to pass out .and glad Laura ok. As far music. I like country 70 an 80s early 90s.
Gly & Laura I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything that you do and I get to sit and watch it outstanding! however, one thing I am a retired oil worker and I can tell you is that H2S is no joke, the worst part about H2S is that it will kill your sense of smell and you won't smell the sulfur anymore and you think you're OK and down you go so please please please be very careful with that H2S
Gly & Laura,
You guys have definitely
followed the trail.
Thank you❤❤❤❤❤
Laura, when you were back in fresh air , and you were holding the light ,
You looked like an Angel with a crown on. Your you’re beautiful.
Stay Safe, Always. …
Hey Gly,
Auction off your suspenders😀
Hey you two! This episode was a real treat but I'm glad you two are okay! I know you get way more brave running as a pair, you've mentioned it in a ton of videos. Invest in a 4 gas monitor and keep chasing guys!
What the heck!!!??? Ya don't have yo be crazy to do this stuff...but it helps! Be safe, you two crazy kids! Thanks for the great video
At 39:13, that's actually a can of School Boy peanut butter. Very rare artifact. If in better condition, that would fetch several hundred dollars.
Wow, this one was a real gas! Literally!
Proof that she's got a sense of humor. I like the "see I got ya" giggles when she was coming out 😂
You’ll check out a thing called Spare Air. It’s a emergency air supply for divers. You could get it filled with 100% pure O2 for times like this. Force all the bad stuff out of your system.

Very awesome addit, spectacular colors and formations.
Hey Gly, you should keep you air monitor lower on your person, if theres bad air where its currently located you will have almost no warning till you are engulfed in the gases. Please be careful,
Close one Gly. Could have been deadly. Both you and Laura were very lucky. Thanks for the adventure.

School boy peanut butter can. Awesome find.
You looked a little ruf coming out of the mine Gly, that was a good find,take care both.
As Frank said keep the package dry.😅
Thank you I had so much fun. Can't wait for more. GOD bless you both
You are a trooper Gly! Hang in there.
You get so excited about 1930s dynamite boxes.
We have Hob nail boot footprints in the mud from miners in 1800s working the slate mines in Wales UK . And treadmill winches.
But still love your videos.
Think the best I remember was when you went deep down in the mine and found that compressed gas cylinder the still has contents in it. Awesome.
Thanks for the great mine explore. You know it is getting good when the little voice in your head says "TOO FAR" and you just keep on going.
If you're going to do the wet mines more often, get a 4 gas monitor!. and, moving air doesn't mean good air. All in all, thanks for showing us that beautiful mine! be safe.
“Gly”: Please read my pinned comment.
I was watching for the tidbits of sixty hours of editing. You did a nice job and super happy you let us know a day in advance that you survived. That would have been a tough recovery/ extraction from the tight and steep entry. Great job!
When you gotta dig, dig, don't talk 😂😂😂😂
Skull and cross bone sign on the entrance
Glad you guys made it out safely beautiful geology can't wait till the next one😊
That must be one of the best episodes ever . Well done to you both and thank you so much for the adventure
YIKES!! This is like watching a scary movie and yelling at the guy, "Don't go in there!" CRAP!! That was a nail biter episode!
1000 ft shafts and widow makers hanging from the back of a mine are obvious dangers. Gly has shown his bravery many times on A&FP with some very foolhardy stunts like venturing into sketchy collapse areas etc. Sadly in this episode he forgot that just because you cannot see a danger does not mean it is not there. Poison gas is an ever present risk in every mine and I hope this incident will help wake him up a little and he will listen to the advice others have given him here in the comments.
Gly acknowledged things had gone wrong on this explore after he made it out of the mine, but laughed it off like he was a twenty year old. Gly, please don’t forget you are now a role model to many young people, you need to be more responsible in future.
Entering a mine without the correct gas detection equipment is a big no-no.
Awesome geology in this one!! Glad you dug it out :)
Maybe no more yucky water explores without the H2S monitor though on your waist…
VERY COOL! Great video! The geology is just incredibly beautiful! Thanks for doing this and showing us! WOW!!!
Hey Gly and Laura. those calcite deposits look like paint and its drips. What a mine.
Need one of those small emergency air tank
That vintage can is school boy peanut butter ..
35:30 - the small can you called "red velvet" appears to instead say "baking powder". Design and font matches the can for Schilling baking powder.
I encountered that same calcite crust floating on water in the basement of an early 1900s bank. I didn't have to walk in it as there were some boards on the floor that were just fractions of an inch above the surface of the calcite. The building was and is still in use but, basement sure isn't.
Hi Gly & Laura. Wow nailbiter after the preview every step and corner was waiting for you to throw up.....😅 Give us more suspenders..... Whoops suspense 😂 good for the ratings. Thanks again for your efforts really enjoyed. Stay safe
Heck yeah the old gly is what I like the most.
The School Boy can contained peanut butter.
Your School Boys can was peanut butter. I found photos on Google. Good explore, and I'm glad you both got out safely. I can't see Laura trying to move you if the gases had knocked you out, you know?
We responded to that potential scenario in a Q&A a few weeks back.
I always find your videos interesting and I enjoy watching them. I wish I could explore like both of you, but my age and health are not with me. I hope any bacteria from that water will not damage you internally
One of the most beautiful, but dangerous mines, i have ever seen on UA-cam. It takes a special kind of crazy, to go into those places. That being said, respect to the both of you, for the things you do. Gly..Hope you're o/k mate?
i watched this and i was surprised about the water in the mine and even more surprised gly went in it lol .
as a viewer of ukame i knew the calcite crust would cause an issue but it was a pretty mine and is the sort of stuff you see in wet mines.
and just as i finished the vid ukame posted a new vid where they found a mine and got so far in and it was flooded so they had a quick talk about going back for the wet suites and decided against it and pushed on in and got "sausage deep" in freezing water and it was only after passing a few collapses when the o2 levels dropped to 15.6 they decided to exit the mine.
it was a good evenings entertainment (apart from gly retching etc) and one vid kind of led into the other almost like a double feature.
Hey Gly, You could so easily use the stroll back to the exit of the mine with music as an outro with credits flowing.
I was waiting for a few sleestaks to pop out from the walls !! 😮🤔
Mines with water in them always make me tense for those exploring it. In areas that you walked thru you displaced the natural occurance that makes caves. Then you broke the crust on that Sulfite water thru that one adet branch. Not good, as you often warn about breaking water surface which can expose any gases.AND IT DID!

Something you might try next tin=me you come across calcite stal, is shining a strong light up close against it and the switch off the lights. Some formations will actually glow in the dark for a short while. I used to do it with electronic flashguns back in the day.
That crystal clear water with the geology of the cave was beautiful
i see you have your indicator cloth out. Do you still use it all the time? I like that laura is more interactive. I think when laura finds an artifact, Gly should remember to show the audience. I look forward to each an every episode during the week. Gly has a soothing voice to me. Awesome editing!
Thank you. I really enjoyed seeing that old mine very much. When you first entered it really looked like a Lava Flow kind of. You guys a Great. Thumbs up for that Video. Now that was still a Nevada Mine correct ? Also what were they Mining for ?
Great adventure guys!
Glad you made it Gly, so close. Too bad there was no ghost to tug on your pants and let you know of the danger this time lol.
Frank would be so proud of you
Hope ya feel better after that hole. 😮 Bly
That music masked the sound of you trying not to projectile vomit all over Laura. Poor Gly. All over the hole, no you mean all over Laura. LOL At least you noticed you weren't feeling good. Laura is a good sport. Awesome video.
❤❤❤❤call that mine the Halloween mine because it was so scary and dangerous, the white looked like spider webs.
Sweet mine. I love it when Gly gets giddy. Just a few questions if I may ?
- With the water running past you as you walk, where did it go ? I saw the pools of water but to me the pools would be deeper than what they look like. If the water keeps pooling up.
( Serious shriveled things happened for sure when you first stepped into that cold water ).
- I can't remember what mine it was, but you were going down a ladder in the pitch black of space with a camera facing down and backwards. Until you ran out of the ladder. I'm so glad nothing went wrong (and I hope nothing ever does).
I don't think you were even tied off to anything either. Question is, what made you do that and would you ever do that again with Laura and being tied off. Every week you and Laura do the impossible and I appreciate it as usual.
Be safe. & Remember... Safety 3rd..
(Safety 1st, 2nd, and 3rd)
Damn Gly! Glad you’re ok dude
H2S is quick and very deadly, I met a guy that survived because he had only gotten one small wiff but that tiny bit almost killed him he immediately went into convulsions and . they had to remove his vocal cords and today he is permanently disabled… Lots of sulfur and water in that mine… you need to keep the monitor lower on your body !
Yes I agree that those bubbles were more than likely toxic !!!
Good job Laura. Gly needs the extra exercise!
School Boy red tin held Peany Butter from the west coast
Even if I had not seen the title, when you reached the end of the adit and were looking at the first can, I knew you had been gassed. Your movements and speech were changed. Don't have to do that again on my account.
Gly I hope your ok,was thinking "please don't go through that"??BUT!!great video great geology ❤❤❤
A true gentleman.👍
I agree better gas monitoring is needed. This one was scary 😟
🦇Batty, glad you are OK... Cool explore, thankz... take care and stay safe!⛏⚒⛏
Greetings from Herford, where it's still hot as hell in the afternoon.
I enjoy wet mines because they're constantly changing every year.
Especially those that get Frozen.
Nature does the mining for you.
That fisheye lens on the camera that you used while digging made the scene look like an Escher drawing where I couldn't tell what was level ground, and what was vertical.
Fun times, though. Brings back memories of looking for caves to dig into in my youth. I think I would have brought at least the hoe in with me in case where was a slough of dirt and gravel funneled in from outside while I was in there.
Enjoyed the episode 👌
Excellent video.
I really dig this episode.😅
You 2 are Crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Love you both
Fantastic vid guys!!!!! Loved it!! Loved the music too!! Who is the artist?
That level was ugly 🤢 I'm glad you are both okay after all that. I was concerned when I saw you starting to walk through that water.
Gly needs another drone that can craw around in these tight spots and areas that may or may not have bad air. Drones aren't affected by that. Wouldn't that be cool ?
That water is so clear. If you had to could you drink it?
Nice job people
Gly and Laura, Frank would be laughing, but this is virgin territory. Explore the way through. Stalactite's, looking very nice. Feb 10, 1936 good number. School boy and Red Velvet tobacco, nice artifacts. I'm glad you two dug into this one, thanks. Nice breeze coming out of that mine, a small bush with a few leaves rustling in the breeze.
Lovely, sounded like you were hacking up a chicken bone or something.
Wow you 2 did some digging. Simply amazing content production!!! LOL
That’s cool as hell
I'm not sure that air monitor is to be trusted. How long didn't take you to feel ok again, and were there any residual effects? Hedache weakness? Etc. Pls dot feelyouhave to cross calcite h2o again. It's not worth it. How hard was it to hike back out of there, after going thru that adventure? Worried about u two! I appreciate you always for the effort you put into your videos, but we don't want you to damage yourselves doing it. You both are very special to us all!
GLY you old mountain goat be careful you are no spring chicken we don't need to loose you
Not positive, but I’m wondering if the board with holes was part of storage for electrical fuses or lightbulbs and they probably repurposed it. Glad you’re alright, Stay safe out there.
Glad you both safe,Laura get yourself a vest under that shirt or a bodysuit, save all that dirt on your skin lol;-). Love to you both xx
No real hand tools sport synthetic stocks/handles. (Those are just props).
:-)
Also, *YIKES* about that bad air/side effects!
Cool mine but scary episode! You guys needs to be careful! Curious, why didn’t the airometer go off? Too low concentration?
As soon as you hit that frothy water I thought bad air
