I grew up here in Bradian/Bralorne. My dad poured the final gold brick in 1969 and then we left so we were one of the last families to leave. I finished grade 7 here. Very remote place to grow up, but a fantastic place to grow up in the 1960s. The mine owned everything so they made sure that we were well taken care of. We had a ski hill (rope tow), outdoor swimming pool, movie theatre (one movie a week), curling rink/skating rink, and company picnics at Gun Lake on a regular basis. We had a small school that went to grade 10. There was a pipeline that ran between our school area and Bradian and alongside the pipeline we had what we called the "cat trail" that us kids walked to get to/from school. Moms didn't drive back then so kids were on foot, trudging through all that snow, and boy did we get lots of snow. One more story I will share. On Sunday, we would go to Sunday School and were each given a quarter to put in the dish, however, we would sneak out a dime because on the way home we would race up to the Legion which was right at the beginning of the "cat trail" and go to the front door where we could each buy a bag of potato chips for our walk home from Sunday School. I can still smell that musky old Legion lobby to this day. This video was a nice trip down memory lane. Thanks for taking the journey up into the mountains.
Thanks for the videos, Dustin. I'm 72 yrs old and will never get a chance to see these places for myself, so I'm very grateful to you for posting them. Loved the one about the old guy who died from lung cancer, but what a life he led. It still hurts my heart to see how vandals destroy, destroy, destroy!!! But so happy you have preserved the memory of some of these places!! Just amazing work!!! Thanks! (You may be a relative, too. Guess I can claim that's a possibility!!!). Thanks!
I can definitely see the difference in your filming abilities, from now in 2023 and 7 years ago. ....you definitely have come a long way with equipment.. but I can see your abilities to catch what is interesting to film, was in your head, from the beginning......, such a great job even with the limited amount of photographic gear.....but since you upgraded your photographic tools, your videos became more and more spectacular! Thank you for sharing your blessed talent with all of us. What I love most is your humor came out more and more as you grew into this..... You were just so serious in this video.....lol
Hi, Mike Morel July 24. I know all about Bradian I lived in one of the houses on your film. I was born in Brailorn, we at that time lived in Pioneer up the road further there was a town there, old mill under ground access there that joined tunnel access at Bralorne. All started there. Lots of people at the time. Used to visit ma Murray of the Lilloet gazette in Lilloet.
Old town i sin remarkably good condition for depression-era buildings. Wouldn't take a whole lot to make one or two of them usable again. Thanks for showing us, and again, appreciate your respect for the "people who came before". Old saying holds true for you - take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. Used to be my mantra when I was doing this sort of thing in the '60's-90's. Old now, 70+, but still have the heart of the adventurer, if not the body! Thank you, Dustin!
Lots of beautiful flowers growing around the houses. Just so you know, the world’s smallest bed was actually a spring belonging to a baby’s crib. Thanks for the great video. Sad to see a whole town gone.
Interesting place but abandoned houses, towns, etc., have always interested me. Great video as always and thanks for always letting us know some history about the places you visit. Beautiful country up there, gorgeous.
Driving tip from Vancouver. Depart in the morning and head up the Sea to Sky highway towards Whistler, doing this circle tour. The sun will be behind you for most of this trip, lighting everything up perfectly.
Just found your channel and videos . I live in Vancouver and appreciate all the journeys you've taken us on. Makes me ready to do some exploring myself. Thanks .
The lay out of the 2 houses were almost identical the stair cases were beautiful at one time. Love the flowers. Think buck was following you, weird. What a neat explore. An all day adventure. Safe travels and explores. Thank you for sharing.
Mello Yello is a highly-caffeinated, citrus-flavored soft drink produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company which was introduced on March 1, 1979. Keep the videos coming Dustin. Great job, always so courteous of the property and their owner. Thank you.
Those houses are move in ready and just a bit of a fixer upper. Reminds me of the old church I found outside Hemingford Nebraska on my way to Wyoming this past summer. Great Video 😊👍
Hi Dustin; On the boiler? I saw a date of 1887 on top front of it. Back in the gold rush days. Thanks for all the hard work you do for us. Be safe. In the basement of the first house we looked at on this video. See ya in the next video.
God my family came up here 40 plus yrs ago. And up to Bralorne mines. We camped up there. My dad rolled his Bronco down the embankment. Split his head wide open. Took him next day to Lilooett hospital. Next day my sister went into labour, took her to Lilooett hospital to have her baby. I did wander through the mine back then, I collected a Bralorne mine share that someone bought. I am surprised the houses are still standing. Now 40yrs later, my parents are long gone & my brother (s) I have 3kids. My sister who had her son in Lilooett is in his 40's with 2 kids.
Really appreciate your hard work on this fella.looks like it was Avery happy town once.so many lovely houses.cool. Peaceful place .nice deer.looking forward to part 2 .
Thank you for the video. Want to let you know, if you don't already. Hwy 550 in Colorado going from Ouray, through Silverton and into Durango there are miners homes also. They are right off of the road. They are stunning, painted up, sort of taken care of. Old mines on that road. Beautiful place if you get to go there.
Excellent job. You do well with research. Helps to appreciate the explore. For several years I lived in the northern California sierra mtns historic gold region which included large active gold mining into the 1950's. I learned to explore and appreciate such history.
Loved this video!! I would have loved to have grown up out there. Running through the woods, going to yr friends house, just through the woods. Good times, simple life, great video. Thanks
Dustin, I love watching your vids. My home land is the north Cascades in Wa State and I used to do these same sort of adventures. You make me home sick but appreciative. Keep up the good works!
reminds me a bit of Creighton, Ontario, before they took it all down ( except the mine ) in the 1980's after it had been part of the local scenery since about 1902.
The place on the mountain built by the man who died of cancer was just beautiful. Wonderful location. This 1 is very interesting & the area is really nice . To bad everything is in such bad bad shape , great place for a camp ground .
Thank you bro for the adventures you take me on with you. Awesome locations, love the scenery, and best of all the Canadian history!! The more I learn the more I admire and appreciate our neighbors.
Very interesting to hear about all these old places. What I find amazing is that these old buildings are still standing! Don't know what they used back then to build as opposed to today? Same in Ocean Falls, BC. The old houses are still standing and a newer apt building (1967) is almost completely collapsed.
Johnny Jensen I think they just took better care when building and used better materials, maybe? Look at some places in Great Britain and Europe...buildings still standing after 1000 years, in some cases more.
I just found your channel and I absolutely love it! I am so interested in abandoned areas and your videos are local for me which is a bonus! I look forward to watching all your videos. 😊
loved all the bright colored flowers and the 2 different young bucks ( deer) one with just a single rack the other one had the start of 2. I agree the colors are yucky but maybe 60 odd years ago this was the fad.
Gotta keep a steady, patient hand. That way we have enough time to see and process the images. Otherwise it gets frustrating to the eyes and folks get headaches. Loved some of the framed shots with folage mixed in. Very nice.
i usually try and be as steady as possible but honestly on this particular adventure i was so excited to be at this location it was hard to focus on the camera. i was disappointed once i started editing. always improve on the next one :)
Discovered this video on accident and i have to say its lot better than most. So shocking these buildings r oso well reserved. Circle of toys downright creepy!
Amazing countryside, w/beautiful wildflowers blanketing everything! I esp. loved those crimson poppies! Great garish wallpaper, as well! I totally respect yr unwillingness to trespass, but I doubt if any Chinese investors are gonna pop up & put u out. Still, that's cool, there's plenty to be seen w/o chancing it. Ha - u had a deer stalker. Onward to pt. 2!
The “investors” aren’t worried about getting their money back, they are worried about hiding dirty money in real estate. Here in Vancouver we have mansions and entire condo buildings that sit empty and deteriorating because of “investors” buying them and hiding money in real estate. It’s a great way to launder crime proceeds etc.
You are the first person to comment on that. So happy you noticed because it is such an incredible drive. its about 2 hours of absolute jaw dropping views. This is one of my absolute favourite drives.
I was just going to say, "are all those droppings mouse droppings?," and Dustin confirmed that they were. Geez. That's a lot of mouse poop. Cheers, Doug
The book about the Bralorne/Pioneer Mines was "Bridge River Gold " The poppies are not wild, they were actually planted by my mother. We lived in Bradian from 1953 until early 60's, then moved down the hill to an area called Townsite # 2, a part of Bralorne proper. We lived in Bralorne til the 70's when the mine shut down.
i really enjoy these :-) 3:10 they look like asiatic day lilies, poppies, i'm not as knowledgeable on Canadian flora :-0 19:50 looks like a toddler bed
I recently did that UA-cam stalker thing where you go through someone’s entire video library 😂😂 I love this video you should do an update now and tell us what everything looks like now that the Chinese developers have gotten in there and maybe started work!
the small bed is the springs from an old fashioned crib, a stiff mattress pad would have been placed over it, the kid could have been left inside even during the day with a few toys
You mentioned the bright colors of the inside of the houses, they probably did that so they could see some color when they are home cuz they worked 12 hour shifts in the darkness. They were a lot shorter back then cuz they didn't travel much as people do now, so the gene pool was pretty concentrated and they were a lot shorter than now. Like the Amish community. Tall to them is 5'8. Nice video.
You should do a search about this town , the middle age couple that really owned the town with son and daughter but when the husband was putting money in the houses by keeping the houses in good shape. One day the husband took a walk towards the creek or river, he incidentally found a gold nugget and decided to sell the town , the town was for sale for under 3 years a day the previous owners decided to sell the town for $1.3 million but at the end they did receive shy of a million from the Chinese investors but the other communities near the town of bradian would like the town to become back to life as the next town has electrician's, framers and plumbers
This place is so cool! Be careful inhaling that black mold! hope to see more of your videos!! PS I think that mattress well the metal mattress was to a baby crib
Just came across this video, while in a YT video rabbit hole. (A wee bit too much free time atm, what with this being the start of week #3 of the whole covid-19 isolation.) Loving these videos of yours, Justin, and the cola can is a no name brand. :)

How lovely it is to see the wild flowers there. Thankyou.
I am so sad when i see so many houses abandoned and so many people are homeless. I enjoyed the exploration very well presented thank you.
Drowsypanther85 👍🙂
"Dunno how they will get their money back" *stares at Poppies, lol.
Maybe by mining gold, silver when the rules change?
Old town i sin remarkably good condition for depression-era buildings. Wouldn't take a whole lot to make one or two of them usable again.

Wow beautiful footage of nature. Thanks for sharing these videos.
Hannah Covach 🙂👍
Driving tip from Vancouver. Depart in the morning and head up the Sea to Sky highway towards Whistler, doing this circle tour. The sun will be behind you for most of this trip, lighting everything up perfectly.
It is hard to believe that people lived out there in the woods. they had good times with their families there. Lots of good memories.
Thank you for showing the respect and explorers etiquette in the places you go, by not forcing your way in to them.
Just found your channel and videos . I live in Vancouver and appreciate all the journeys you've taken us on. Makes me ready to do some exploring myself. Thanks .
Love the vids! Thanks for the adventures!
Remember👍🏼
Every investor has a motive. I think they wanted to secure land!!
Incredible!!!! I lived all over bc and never heard of this town.
It's funny that you could care less about those beautiful flowers, those wild poppys were awesome blossom.
Great videos, big thanks!
Daniel Toth - love the flowers! 🙂👍🌸🌼🌺
The lay out of the 2 houses were almost identical the stair cases were beautiful at one time. Love the flowers. Think buck was following you, weird. What a neat explore. An all day adventure. Safe travels and explores. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful exploring. Wow... check for ticks at your trip end. ALL THAT TALL GRASS.
My comments are way off because i just found your channel, and now i'm binge watching your videos, which are all great videos by the way.
Those houses were awesome!!! Thanks
I've seen a few of your vids before. You always go the places I would go if I lived out there; interesting buildings and great scenery.
well theres always room in bc for more adventurers. now you have a list of places to visit lol
Dee Wright 🙂👍
Mello Yello is a highly-caffeinated, citrus-flavored soft drink produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company which was introduced on March 1, 1979. Keep the videos coming Dustin. Great job, always so courteous of the property and their owner. Thank you.
Is that what the can was?
+Dustin Porter I believe so. However, I could be wrong.
Thanks for posting the town names. I like to look for them on Google earth for reference and perspective.
TeddyJak Eddy 🙂👍
But now that the town name is out there, people will go vandalize.
Great video! I think you were looking at the spring base of a crib mattress :)
Those houses are move in ready and just a bit of a fixer upper. Reminds me of the old church I found outside Hemingford Nebraska on my way to Wyoming this past summer. Great Video 😊👍
Ricky Trager 🙂👍👍
Hi Dustin; On the boiler? I saw a date of 1887 on top front of it. Back in the gold rush days. Thanks for all the hard work you do for us. Be safe. In the basement of the first house we looked at on this video. See ya in the next video.
Amazing how well these houses have been cleaned ou Almost NOTHING left behind
Larry Hullinger 🙂👍

Awesome looking at old history!!! Keep us posted Dustin!!!
I used to fish for trout at a few lakes around Bralorne. It was good fishing at one time.
thank you for sharing your adventures with us. this place reminds me of a no longer town in Alaska. look forward to the next. always be safe.
ak Fisher - I love exploring! 🙂👍

Hey Faye, thanks for the info. Thats quite a long trip for me but if I'm ever down that direction ill definitely keep it in mind.
Wow, would have a field day just looking around that place! Awesome
Jeanie coudriet - agreed! 🙂👍
Excellent job. You do well with research. Helps to appreciate the explore. For several years I lived in the northern California sierra mtns historic gold region which included large active gold mining into the 1950's. I learned to explore and appreciate such history.

Las Vegan - I live in Washington State 🙂 please visit my channel. Would love for you to subscribe!
The "Cola" can is a No-Name President's Choice Brand Cola from The Real Canadian Super Store. Circa sometime in the 90's
No doubt worth 10 cents now.
1 1 how come this beautiful land gets sold to non Canadians?
I don't know, but one day even land like this will be worth just as much as in Vancouver. They got a steal in my opinion.
Those little houses are so cute!
reminds me a bit of Creighton, Ontario, before they took it all down ( except the mine ) in the 1980's after it had been part of the local scenery since about 1902.
House looks well made. All wood built and no particle board. Even a tin roof. Make a neat hunting camp.
Dustin Porter, another awesome vid, keep them coming
rob heathcote 🙂👍
I love that sign on top of the house That is like the money shot they’re beautiful
steve all day 🙂👍
The place on the mountain built by the man who died of cancer was just beautiful. Wonderful location. This 1 is very interesting & the area is really nice . To bad everything is in such bad bad shape , great place for a camp ground .
Thank you bro for the adventures you take me on with you. Awesome locations, love the scenery, and best of all the Canadian history!! The more I learn the more I admire and appreciate our neighbors.
Nice video.....
Your videos are a refreshing breath of fresh air. Great great stuff Dustin and you are such an easy person to respect! Thank you.
You're a brave man. Some vandals might have four legs. I love these videos. Thanks for sharing.
Look at all the beautiful flowers.pretty deer awesome. Would be fun to metal detect around them
Very interesting to hear about all these old places. What I find amazing is that these old buildings are still standing! Don't know what they used back then to build as opposed to today?

@@deendrew36 Yes, I guess they did have better materials back then. More solid type of wood they used back then, I gather. Cheers!
Hi from India man. Your videos are awesome and i am binge watching them at 3 am......
hey welcome to the channel. it is 3pm here right now. so happy you are enjoying the videos
Cool Video ... Wow The Celing Slants Like My GrandMas House When I Was a Kid .. In the 70's
Great Video. Now you be careful in these "abandoned" places: some folks REALLY don't want to be found.
TMIDiva 🙂
Hi Dustin
Once again, As usual, Outstanding video !!!! ☺
Thank You for posting ❗
thank you
lola bunnyy 🙂👍
I just found your channel and I absolutely love it! I am so interested in abandoned areas and your videos are local for me which is a bonus! I look forward to watching all your videos. 😊
Right on, welcome to the channel :)
Great tour Dustin, keep the adventures coming brother --- God bless !!!
endtimefreak 🙂👍
Fun fact I’m 37, that cola can was the no name brand from the 80’s early 90’s. Cool vid cheers man!
The wild flowers around there are awesome.
loved all the bright colored flowers and the 2 different young bucks ( deer) one with just a single rack the other one had the start of 2. I agree the colors are yucky but maybe 60 odd years ago this was the fad.
Decent video. I worked at the mine there a couple years ago so i got to see all this first hand, the whole area is amazing.
Gotta keep a steady, patient hand. That way we have enough time to see and process the images. Otherwise it gets frustrating to the eyes and folks get headaches.
Loved some of the framed shots with folage mixed in. Very nice.
i usually try and be as steady as possible but honestly on this particular adventure i was so excited to be at this location it was hard to focus on the camera. i was disappointed once i started editing. always improve on the next one :)
Been there. Whole area is really cool.
Discovered this video on accident and i have to say its lot better than most. So shocking these buildings r oso well reserved. Circle of toys downright creepy!
Can't wait for the rest. Good job.
You should do one about Kitsault, B.C.
Man, you made me nervous going in to those open doors, I just kept thinking a bear was coming out.
Would like to know more history about it though.
Got to Part 2, before 1, but Wow, these are Awesome videos.. Thank you..
ndog2005 - 🙂👍👍
Beautiful shot of the poppies !
Amazing countryside, w/beautiful wildflowers blanketing everything! I esp. loved those crimson poppies! Great garish wallpaper, as well! I totally respect yr unwillingness to trespass, but I doubt if any Chinese investors are gonna pop up & put u out. Still, that's cool, there's plenty to be seen w/o chancing it. Ha - u had a deer stalker. Onward to pt. 2!
The “investors” aren’t worried about getting their money back, they are worried about hiding dirty money in real estate. Here in Vancouver we have mansions and entire condo buildings that sit empty and deteriorating because of “investors” buying them and hiding money in real estate. It’s a great way to launder crime proceeds etc.
It's sooo beautiful I love it!
Must have been a very pretty town. Love all your videos.
OMG the road at the beginning. Fab!
You are the first person to comment on that. So happy you noticed because it is such an incredible drive. its about 2 hours of absolute jaw dropping views. This is one of my absolute favourite drives.
I was just going to say, "are all those droppings mouse droppings?," and Dustin confirmed that they were. Geez. That's a lot of mouse poop.
Cheers,
Doug
Awesome video. Loved seeing the young buck.
This looks like it was a really cool place to live at one time.
3:10 great shot 👍👍👍
13:29 beautiful
kazzuo The Great 🙂👍👍👍
Haha the first house you went in upstairs looks like a ghost child brought some blocks up to play with lol 😂 you're brave
K&B Lawn Care couple houses had kid stuff. Pretty unique to see.
I'd say so brother I'd love to do this
Love the purple clover and the poppies. Don't think they are "the right kind" of poppies though.
Enjoyed that keep it up. That cola can not very old though, it's an old Extra Foods can with milliliters not ounces on it.
Kevin Loewen most, if not all of the cans/bottles in Canada have ml on them. Sometimes oz too, but we are metric in Canada, so always ml.
Yes I enjoyed this I felt peaceful as if I was actually on a tour so very well put together and presented :)
Tania Gauci 🙂👍
Great video! Beautiful country to live in!
Forgot to say, this is the first video of yours I've seen, it's really good, thank you
Enjoyed 👍
Love your history lessons!!!
Beautiful

I definitely will do a proper video of this location in the future. Thanks for enjoying the show :)
the small bed is the springs from an old fashioned crib, a stiff mattress pad would have been placed over it, the kid could have been left inside even during the day with a few toys
The flowers are beautiful.

Very interesting video. I was in Bralorne/Gold Bridge recently with a buddy to take photos.
You should do a search about this town , the middle age couple that really owned the town with son and daughter but when the husband was putting money in the houses by keeping the houses in good shape.

This place is so cool! Be careful inhaling that black mold! hope to see more of your videos!! PS I think that mattress well the metal mattress was to a baby crib
Just came across this video, while in a YT video rabbit hole. (A wee bit too much free time atm, what with this being the start of week #3 of the whole covid-19 isolation.) Loving these videos of yours, Justin, and the cola can is a no name brand. :)
The vw motor belongs to a notch back or stationwagen or even square back bugs had upright motors with fan shrouds shaped like giant upside-down U
Dustin your videos are the best I've ever seen !
thank you so much
It's the truth ! I love how you walk and talk to us like we are with you there and tell us the stories and your so nice and entertaining.
What’s the book called about this town? Curious about reading it! Thanks Dustin!
