LOL, will my 2017 JK Rubicon hardrock edition with 35’s amd a 2.5 lift make it ????? LOL just kidding
@4:10 made me lmfao 🤣 Love this dude!
I recently subscribed to your channel. Thanks for posting. You wouldn’t happen to be a red shirt would you? Keep up the good work, I plan on hitting some of these trails soon.
29 Palms is not the best place in the winter but I have to give that place credit for teaching me how to camp out in the shittiest conditions. Was stationed there from 2008-12 and did countless field ops.
Thanks for another great video and the free GPS track. #DontBeADickHead Tshirts
Best morbid story ever, that contains a mine shaft!
1) You Sir need to be the gold standard template on how to address YT trolls and dumbasses.. 2) keep making these GREAT vids!
Very cool!!! Love the mines!!!!!
Great trails, one of my favorite places to be. I have a lifted suburban z71. I have pulled lots of people out of there. You can do it in a car if you don’t care about it and don’t mind stacking rocks for hours. We did just for shits and giggles. But not recommended unless you have a back up 5×4 to get you out. No Randy it was the 2nd shaft inside the mine that the dog went down. Bad day. Thanks for the video man always appreciated. Stay safe and happy trails.
Another fine piece of work!
Nice trip! Appreciate the views and info. How about ‘not even a jeep’ I have a built 2001 Ford Explorer 2Dr that I wander the desert in .. have a bed built inside so I camp wherever. Want a cool mine to check out? Try the Queen of Sheba mine in Death Valley. For some reason none of the adits are sealed like the others in DV .. unfortunately I have gone alone and I will only go so far into a mine by myself .. also a great camping spot .. for some reason nobody seems to go up there. No animal tracks or scat .. adits are clean of rodents too.
Thank you very much for letting us tag along! That was a very fun run!
No more mr nice guy!
I’ll bet there are a log of Baofeng radios at the bottom of those mines.
Just wanna know what sentence that bf got and would my vehicle make it?
Hay there , how you doing ? those shafts that go strate up and down , are more likely air shafts .many like that in the high desert in Calif. also.
This was a little boring. Should make it more exciting with some gorilla glue.
I am the guy that says ‘thanks’ after downloading the gpx… I gave you a thumbs up bro thanks again
This looks fun 😎👍🏼
@3:04 & @4:04 👍🏼
Whole ‘nother world of radio out there Woody… Network Radios…. shhhh. Zello…. cross-link with GMRS. Shhhhh….
Gold, silver and copper were mine there
I’ve been in one of those mines. Not sure which one. If you aren’t familiar, don’t do it. Every little sound is scary.
Will my jeep make it? 2020 Not a Rubicon Gladiator, 2 5 Mopar lift, 35 inch tires , wife driveing..
While I appreciate this mine adventure video, I came to this channel for the off road adventures, vehicle information, etc. . But you got me going now… I want to see more GMRS vids (lots more, in fact do vids on it all the time) and stuff about how HAM radio sucks.
I watched the video 3 times, now I’ll know I can make it through the trail
It’s closed!!!! I went in may2021 and went in the mine. Just went today apr2022 with a group of friends and found the mine entrance with a welded steel grate closing it. Sorry folks. No more fun
I I am loving these videos… Long story short I gotta split. Dude you make me feel the same way 2 other people make me feel. Bill Burr & Doug Stanhope. 2 of my favorite people on earth. You’ve got mad skills at being slick with your wit and the subliminal kicks to the balls of the dickheads” … I discovered you because I was checking out those radios and your funny ass popped up. I don’t think normal people pick up on the genius accidentally spewing forth on purpose without knowing I know that they know that I know that they know that I know … anyway it’s funny how some dude from Baton Rouge Louisiana can meet his soul mate through a friggin VIDEO ABOUT FREQUENCY?!? Are you picking up on the weight of this synchronicity taking place? Shit. I was scanning the internet and BLAM. I gotta split . I will find you and I will laugh. More. Later
You’ll need the schnozzalator 5000 for this vertical shafts.
And the wind is ripping!!!!
Interesting story!
It was great meeting you. I am the one with Toyota 4Runner. Your youtube videos are very helpful on deciding my next trail run… Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing your experiences & info. I’ve been down due to back issues a few weeks now. Your channel has been a real blessing & a great distraction while not being able to work on my own rig or get on the trails myself. I appreciate the time & effort you invest in your production. Most importantly, thanks for not being a dickhead!
My Rottweiler can fly.
He has got an anti gravity device implanted in his nut sack.
These stories and other dummies lead to these mines being barred off or cages over by the feds, wonder why it hasn’t happened yet.
Great stuff.
Please do something with GMRS on your videos but don’t be a ham about it ! 👍
The Brooklyn mine is one of my favorite places to go. Lots to see out there. We always leave food and water at the outpost near the New York mine. Yes, wind sucks.
Crossroads Cafe is a nice place to stop when you are in the 29 Palms area.
Spent some time there Desert training with the Marine Corp, I was a Navy Seabee.
Just did this trek today. Super bummed that I actually didn’t find the mine you can walk through (didn’t find your video till after I got home). I’m actually really surprised they left the Rosa Peru mine open after that incident and didn’t close it off.
Are you still doing "public" events or only "private invites"?
Dang you got a little spicy since I last watched some of your vids!! I like it!
I want to test out the "If you have 2 wheel drive, you definitely won’t make it" theory. (as long as there’s a 4x or two to pull me out when the trail proves you were right! Lol
Always looking forward to the next video!
You were in a mood this trip…Keep um coming.. Would love to join you with some of my Eagle scouts whom I’m getting them into off roading and learning the abilities of there rigs and lines. Thank you….
Unfortunately all of the years coming to the Brooklyn mine it is officially closed off. Including the big drop right in front. Very bummed but I not sure why they closed. You actually drive to very entrance if you take the route towards the back. An era has ended.
How can we get in contact with you? We were just at Old Dale Rd Trail today. But would like to go exploring with you guys and learn other about trails. Good video! 👍
Crazy that stuff is so accessible there. Here in NV you drive for hours in the middle of nowhere and all the holes are fenced off. You have to fo early and cut them down to push anyone in. Very inconvenient.
"Watch the f**cking video dumba**" That had me busting up…..cause it’s so right on.
Cool place. I’d like to take a few of my employees there. You know, find the mine shaft hole in the dark. Just kidding HR. I kid.
