  • We headed deep into the mountains in search of a 70 year old abandoned mine to explore in our Jeep Gladiator and EcoDiesel JL Wrangler! Also along for the ride was ‪@EPIC-4WD‬ in the blue gorilla Jeep Gladiator and Modula Racks' Volvo C303. Oh and Chef Jon of course.

      Hey cool video! I would suggest anyone watching this - "Exploring Abandoned Mines" has done a multi-video series on the history and walk-thru of the buildings, etc. It's worth a watch if your curious for other related content. Keep the content rolling! (edit - I see he posted below.... quick link!)

    Another extremely cool video. I don't know if this will help your friend with the very awesome Volvo, but back in the day I had an old square-nose 1966 Dodge van than ran hot a lot. I was able to take the heater hoses that went to the heater core inside the van and reroute them to a big heater core that I bought from a junkyard and then placed in the front so air flowed over it. Instant auxiliary radiator. Of course I had no heat, but that wasn't a problem in the summertime. Your channel never ceases to amaze me with your content. The drone shots over the old buildings were incredible.

    It is properly called an ore bin. You were in the lower level of the French Mine. One of the most popular tourist mines in BC. Famous for a staggering amount of empty beer cans! As you know you can't drive far into it. Where you drove into connects to the level with the ore bin at the bottom. The Mascot with the buildings is far more interesting. We spent a lot of time underground there but you can't drive to it and you need ropes to get into the lower levels.

    Thanks for another scenic trip in our beautiful province. This video is our back yard more or less and we've been to many of the spots over the years. There used to be a really spooky thin part of the trail up top that I'd not want to do in our 2500 Dodge anymore. The remains of a yellow Samurai used to be down at the bottom there - chap didn't make it in the mid '80's. Anyways thanks for showcasing our part of the world, nice to see some of it from the drone for sure. Stay well.

    Don't go exploring abandoned mines! With that being said, if you're going to go in them anyways, take a 3 gas monitor (pretty cheap considering they'll save your life) and absolutely don't go into a tunnel where the air feel stagnant (if you can feel any breeze that's usually enough air for people). That way you don't die from something you can't see. Cave-in, loose rock falling from the back of the tunnel, etc. could still get you but at least you've got a fighting chance against those things since you can actually see them. False floors are probably the second most dangerous thing in these old mines... If you can't see the floor, particularly if it's obscured by water, the wood planks might be rotten or it might not even be there.

Could easily drive a truck through. Does a few spirals through the mountain and comes out the other side. Theres a huge pit in the middle I'd say almost the size of a football field and like 50 feet tall that all the other small shafts lead into. So glad I got to check it out
