  4. High King Trasher on July 23, 2021 at 8:45 pm

    Imagine turning a rock from the sky into the strongest tool that ever existed, while all of your friends are still using rocks and soft metals.

    That sounds like the most ultimate flex.

  5. Paul Vanukoff on July 23, 2021 at 8:46 pm

    Ironic.

  6. Lim Xuan Ting on July 23, 2021 at 8:48 pm

    you didnt dig your own mine…

  7. Arron Tavern on July 23, 2021 at 8:49 pm

    hold up if you wanted to start in the metal age you should have started with copper!

  8. Doctor Spoden on July 23, 2021 at 8:51 pm

    I have been there for a field trip

  9. w wyborn on July 23, 2021 at 8:52 pm

    I’m surprised that they gave you a yellow hat instead of white or grey

  14. Hayden Jay on July 23, 2021 at 9:00 pm

  15. Eric on July 23, 2021 at 9:02 pm

    How to get iron:
    1. Punch a tree
    2. Make a pick axe
    3. Mine some stone
    4. Make a stronger pickaxe
    5. Find coal and mine it
    6. Find iron ore and mine it
    7. Craft a furnace and smelt the iron.

    I love this dude’s stuff. This is my second binge on his content..But I’ll never get over that accent. "Dounchaknoow"

  25. Coastal Cardician Collectables on July 23, 2021 at 9:15 pm

    Are there other sizes of soda available in this state, or only Mini?

  26. jacker372 on July 23, 2021 at 9:16 pm

    should have started off with an easier metal to smelt

  27. Pagan Athiest on July 23, 2021 at 9:17 pm

    You skipped copper and bronze age

  28. Reality on July 23, 2021 at 9:17 pm

    Give him a break, guys. So what he didn’t dig his own mine. It would take him years to do that by himself

  29. EmmaQueenInMybaby’sHeart Heart on July 23, 2021 at 9:17 pm

    Do you have any people in Philippines 🇵🇭 who may engage in iron mining? Bcuz we have area in our palace which have iron deposits accordingly, it can last for even 30-50years of mining deposit of iron will not diminished. Or should mining company we could discuss with for the possible partnership. Hoping for a kind and positive response.
    Thank you!.

    Bro i love how he has like no accent EXCEPT for when he says minnesota😂😂

  31. NelsonDiningHall on July 23, 2021 at 9:19 pm

    Hey I’ve been to the Soudan mine!

  32. Knaten _ on July 23, 2021 at 9:23 pm

    How to get iron: go down a pre-dug mine and get handed a chunk of iron ore. How did you go from knapping stone tools to extracting iron?

  33. Chase Listorti on July 23, 2021 at 9:23 pm

    If your making cookies from scratch you can get flour from someone you don’t have to make it yourself, so stop complaining he didn’t mine his own stuff, that would have taken years also

  34. Phantom Haranguer on July 23, 2021 at 9:25 pm

    To this day the freighters ply the great lakes carrying this ore from MN to the Ford Rouge foundry to manufacture automobile, et. al.

  35. D.dunne on July 23, 2021 at 9:25 pm

    Stacy plays was in that mine

  36. Agoodnobody on July 23, 2021 at 9:25 pm

    I went there in irl but I went to the labtory

  37. wena busog on July 23, 2021 at 9:26 pm

    I find this quite scary going real deep into the earth, this for me takes a lot of courage. :/

  38. Alex92kronus on July 23, 2021 at 9:28 pm

    How do they even find iron? I mean it’s half a mile under the surface

  39. Grease on July 23, 2021 at 9:29 pm

    What city in Minnesota? I’m in Rochester myself

  40. Hyun J on July 23, 2021 at 9:30 pm

    Miner looks like Steve Jobs

  41. The Nerd of Things on July 23, 2021 at 9:32 pm

    Minecraft in real life.

  42. CapnTates on July 23, 2021 at 9:33 pm

    I wouldn’t call meteorites pure iron. Elementary iron; yes. Pure? More often than not, no, it has a lot of contaminants.

  43. bandrukesucks on July 23, 2021 at 9:34 pm

    That’s great and all if you want to start a corporation that mass produces iron, but how do you mine iron if you don’t have access to any metal. I want to know how you go from sticks and stones to metal!!! Do you chisel and smelt with wood, clay, and stone? How is it done? If all metal on Earth was re-deposited back into the ground or if you weren’t even on Earth hypothetically speaking, how would you start over? That’s what I want to know. Not these fancy metal machines helping you get more metal. I want zero metal to get metal. How do you do that??? Do you Bust out brittle ores with a wooden sledge? Do you steal salts from a volcano and blow up a vein? How do you get from step 1 of having no metal to step 2 of having metal??

  44. Phanet YOU on July 23, 2021 at 9:35 pm

    I love Iron

  45. Elijah Leal on July 23, 2021 at 9:37 pm

    Hope you get more views/subs! These videos are very inspiring!

  46. Bilbo_Gamers on July 23, 2021 at 9:38 pm

    The only way to make iron without access to a mine or bogs is to go to a river in an iron rich area, and pan out all the dirt until you have black sand. You melt that down with a bit of coal coke and limestone flux to make raw iron. You then carbodize it by slicing the iron thinly and burning it with graphite (or coal coke) and baking soda (or some other usable salt) in a semi-anaerobic environment, and hammer the carbodized iron back. together into a single billet to make steel.

  47. ExTaCiii on July 23, 2021 at 9:39 pm

    All I can think about is minecraft.I also subbed!

  48. PET Z on July 23, 2021 at 9:39 pm

  49. Beanos on July 23, 2021 at 9:40 pm

  50. StephySon on July 23, 2021 at 9:40 pm

    I keep imagining how terrifying it’d be to be trapped in a mine.
