I Found An Abandoned Cabin In The Woods (And Fixed It Up)

This week, I set out to find an abandoned mine that was supposed to be very well preserved. The trip took some twists and turns and I ended up finding something I never knew about. Along the way I did find all the signs for a big mine, including some old artifacts lost in the wash.

I'm looking forward to getting back to this cabin and continuing my search for the mine!

Rarely...but once in awhile you stumble over a channel that has stories an hour after hour of good watching. This is that one!

I scrolled through the comments to see if anyone commented on the find at 21:00 minutes, but I didn't see any. The machine is a 4 cylinder engine powered air compressor. It has a direct drive from the engine to the compressor head and both are cooled by the same radiator, that is missing. The "oil can" you mentioned is most likely the fuel tank while the cylindrical rivetted tank is where the compressed air is held. This unit was used to power a pneumatic rock drill for drilling blasting holes in the granite, hence the bits and drill rod you found. This appears to be professional and purpose built compressor, not some backyard bubba build. THAT IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF MINING HISTORY THAT YOU NEED TO VIDEO DOCUMENT CLOSELY, BRENT...

The engine on the trail and the car chassis next to the cabin are air compressors made from old automobiles. The long drill shaft and bits are for pneumatic hammer drills. The ingenuity of getting those components up there and converting them to mine with air power so long ago is something to marvel.

At 62 I wish with tears in my eyes that I had taken more time for this type of exploring. I am so glad a young man such as yourself has such an appreciation and curiosity about what once was such a rich way of life for our ancestors. Keep this spirit alive young man because at some point these days will never come again.

The first machine; you found in front of the cabin, was a pump made by the Gardener Denver Co of Quincy Illinois. Quincy is my home town and in Junior High school, one summer, I sold Ice cream treats to the men at the factory while on their break. I am 73yrs old and I flashed back to that time in an instant. Very cool.

This series is better then any tv show I’ve ever watched. Keeps me wanting more and more

Brent has more secret hideaways than a Bond villain!

This guy is such an inspiration. So many people spend their lives imagining the life they want to live. So few go out and do it.

“Beat it tree... I got things to teach people”. I loved that. 🤣
Your enthusiasm and stories are like magic.
You have no idea what a difference you make to so many.
Thank you.

Literally look forward to this every week! 🇬🇧

Brent - for those of us trapped in our own personal 700 level, we sure appreciate the weekly escape. You show us all how much you can do with some determination. Keep up the good work.

I am so grateful that I got to find this channel. I don’t watch TV, this is much better documentary than you would ever find on TV or streaming channels. I thank you Brent for sharing this with us.

Everytime you renovate a cabin you should take the before photo and the after photo and write up a short history as you know it, from your touch upon it, and leave it in a can on the wall or something for others who come across it in years to come. :)

i live 15 minutes from where that drill was made, in Sandviken Sweden. thats just a mindblowing coincidence!

Most people watch YouTube or garden or paint a picture when they are bored Brent rebuilds a County. Absolute Legend.

[mariesunday]

This is the nice part of YouTube, no bs, all adventure and education. I'm thankful to have found this. Who would ever give this a thumbs down? Thanks for the wonderful videos, wish I was there!

[Qkotman]

Slowly, I'm getting hooked with this series of videos. Wanting more.

[WilliamGemstone]

Never change the recipe for this channel: 1 part Brent, 1 part drone, 1 small town.

This guy is really living a different type of peaceful life wow
