They are Chinese ovens with stacked rocks are change ovens. You see them along a lot of railroad grades where they had the Chinese building the railroads.
Wow, that's awesome
I was thinking the very same things. Stone cook stoves for a large group of men. And blasting powder to flatten the road bed for laying track.
Chinese were not the only builders of the railroads. Whitewashed lie that America is proud to tell over and over again. John Henry wasn’t Chinese.
@@RemoteTrooper Do you remember if the stones were blackened on the surface facing the inside?
@@Bluebark64FIS I can't recall
Black powder comes in different granulations with "F" being the most coarse, followed by FF, FFF and FFFF. I'm thinking the piles of stone were ovens, most likely for baking to feed the crew, or they could have been small charcoal kilns for making batches of charcoal.
Cowboys farting comes to mind
In southern Arizona, some of those stone shelters were used to store blasting powder. Also, when I was growing up in eastern Oregon in the 1940's and 50's, rural families had 55 gallon burn barrels. We would burn our trash in the burn barrel. When the cans and other non-combustible materials partially filled the barrel, the unburned items would be hauled out to some remote desert location and dumped.
That sounds right. I was thinking they're cover to hide in during blasting but they're shaped weird for that
@@kthompso43 many still have burn barrels
The rock piles are ovens for the railroad crews building the line. They are in the Willamette pass and in the draws of eastern Oregon. I have seen about a 3 dozen of the in my wondering around
That sure seems reasonable. But don't ya think there would be signs of heat and fire? even after 100's of years those scars would remain. I can't see any sign of fire. Just a thought.
I worked for 30 years on the railroad. Those ARE ovens used for backing and you can walk the lines and find the railroad camp every few miles and the trash piles or holes. On the S.P. camps you can also find opium bottles from the Chinese workers. These bottles are about one once in size that sometimes are painted on the inside of a kind of white glass.
Not backing, baking. My finger is too fast.
@@rollandgust3942 thanks for sharing. Very interesting.
@@rollandgust3942 Thanks for the info. I just thought we would see more evidence of high heat , but maybe I would if physically there. Either way, I will take your word for it! Thanks, interesting stuff!
Cool drone fun
What a cool find! Like an actual antique store out there. Very sad about the dog. 😢
@7:40 , that was a human
Going on exploratory adventures like this is what makes 4 wheeling so much fun. Getting out and rediscovering place long forgotten. Great vid!!!👍👍👍
The strainer was a make shift shower.
my guess was that the workers were Italian immigrants, and it was used to make their pasta with canned tomato sauce.
but a shower makes better sense.
Washing rice. NO ONE took a shower in the desert. Hello
@@hoppyandhisholidayhelpers1714 Italians didnt shower. Chinese built the railroad. washed their rice.
@@RRaucina but it's a spaghetti western
I enjoyed, we also enjoyed exploring the desert in the winter. Good job . Thanks again, Never go gently into the good night
👀
Very cool, the guitar work was perfect and a great addition to your work.
Super cool...I'm always going too fast on my adventure bike to see this good stuff...guess I need to slow adown and explore a little.
The California/ Nevada desert is forever fascinating to me. I've got a few good spots on either side of Barstow and also a few hours outside of Carson City I like to explore, but this place looks so amazing!
all around Barstow theres cool random spots, lucern valley has some cool ones too
very cool , thank you for taking us along 👍🏼
That grade cut explains all the powder, and the ovens testify to the cooking of rice for the Chinese. Probably in powder cans! Home made strainer to wash grains.
becoming one of my favorite channels to watch, thank you
That's very cool that after you picked up and looked at something old that you put it back in the same spot. Most people just throw it back down any where. 👍
Awesome finds!! Wow, so old, so COOL!!
Man your videos are the best thanks for sharing I appreciate u
You are an amazing tulle trooper! 👍You found numerous Powder caches!
NOT!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Very cool finds!! 👍
This is my favorite Chanel this channel has the best music for the setting and he sticks to life today without blaming it's a global drought that mother nature will resolve as she always does but no drama this guy is genuine and love's life
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for your channel and great content! I really enjoy watching your videos. As a Mom , I say stay safe, hydrated and be careful. I know you are by watching your videos but I’d worry about you going so far out in the middle of the dessert by yourself. Do you take someone with you for recording or do you do it by yourself? Either way you do a great job. I know there’s a lot of work that goes into a great video like these on your channel. I appreciate that. It’s like I get to go places I’d never get to see.
Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us. ✨🙏🏾💝🌎💝🙏🏾✨
The men Mr Gust made a good post about the ones that look like fireplaces. They probably are fireplaces for the crews and they were probably attached to tents because a small Tent City traveled with the end of the line. It's where there was girls of ill repute and gambling and other vices lived. This was to keep the railroad men occupied and broke to keep them working. The other ones that did not look like ovens were probably impromptu forts. If they were attacked there was a place to hide. This is my thoughts, I may be right or wrong. Thank You for sharing. Nice video and I like your Trooper!
Dogs should always be on short leashes in wild areas like that; they lack natural instinct so often tromp right over danger like wildlife. When I lived at Fig Springs a pack of feral dogs visited (not aggressive just not petable), the wildest one accidentally stepped on a rattlesnake when running around in the overgrown stream near the pond (before it was plowed over 😣) and of course got bit. It wouldn't let us close enough to try to get it to a vet and the wound looked infected a couple days later (no most snake bites won't kill just make you wish they had) so my dad tossed it moldy bread (for Penicillin) to try to keep the infection from spreading, about a month later it had fully healed up and the pack went on its way.
We lived out there for three years, I was about 7-10 my brother 1-4, we saw over 100 rattlesnakes a year and never got bit because we were taught always watch were you walk, when you hear a rattle stop and figure out where or is coming from, back away slowly, never turn your back on it and never run and for Petes sake never mess with it, if you follow that advice there really is nothing scarry about rattlesnakes at all; they just want to be left alone as much as you do.
So cool, like an outdoor museum.
Cool finds.
Good job man!
This was so nice to watch. Esp the drone footage and music.
While you were walking around, I was really hoping you wouldn't come across a rattlesnake. Be careful out there.
The blasting powder was most likely used to create those cuts in the rocks for the mainline RR tracks…in the early 1900’s prior to the completion of the LA&SL RR (Now UP) in 1905
You are definitely getting better use from your Trooper than i am Mine. Lol I have a 1996 trooper on 33's with snorkel, 16,500lb front winch, on board air compressor and homemade front bumper. Mine was my daily but TX is to unforgiving on the ol girl with the miles & Heat!
Keep up the Exploring.👌🏽
The drone shots were on point , bringing back good memories of my pops thanking you kindly fine gentleman and wishing safe passages on explores , stay wary of them critters that sting and bite...🤔👁️✌️💪🙏👍
maybe in another ninety years, someone will historically preserve the 4 undriveable cars left in my neighbor's yard for more than 10 years.
At 21:40, you say you think that art depicts American buffalo... Could they possibly be armadillos? it looks like maybe they etched out the scales on the wall..? I'm not even sure if they were in that area then, but that's what it reminded me of with the little ears and scales. Your channel is awesome!! It is very much appreciated- Keep up the good work!
those look like forging Kilns for the railroad when they were making the spikes and stuff
You might try digging up the old dumps, I'm an expert bottle/dump digger , you can find so many fascinating details about the people who were there.. . like the things they ate, the illnesses they had, medicines they took, tools they used, hobbies and so many interesting things !
Feel free to reach out to me, I'd love to share my expertise. I really think you'd be fascinated with what you find.
It would be awesome to tell there story, from what I understand many men lost their lives building railroads ....It would be of historical interest to see what you could find!
Anyway, I really like your content so keep up the good work.
Neat stuff. Cool ovens. Food or maybe to heat metal. A forge
I live not too far from the old CPW location. It is now the gated community of Paradise Park. Been there a few times... Some old buildings and ovens still remain. They did have a few accidents back in the day that made local headlines.
The can at 0:58 is a Sardine can. That is the Key that fit in a tab. Turn the Key and roll the top off. Now days the Lid has a Tab to be pulled back to remove the Lid.
Great drone footage.Those looked like something for baking, perhaps a kiln for making bricks or such?
Drone footage was fantastic i even thought you were in a rail car!;Brilliant music who is it?
You have to wonder it they used the rock shelter to shield them while blasting the area with the gun powder. Maybe clearing a route for the railroad,
Thanks for the content
There might be gold in them thar hills lol...I'm thinking that the square can with holes in it may have been used to clean dirt and rocks for gold maybe, just a thought 🤔 cause I'm sure that it was most definitely useful for something. It could've also been used to cook on. Old stuff like that amazes me cause the old timers made things like that for some kind of reason but why is hard to tell...Good luck with your adventures
That’s a LOT of powder!
👍👍👍👊😎
Probably from the old plant 60s to 70s my dad had a couple old crate boxes from the 50s dynamite... brings back old memories of poppa...😊✌️👍💪🙏
Looks like an old fashioned, military battle.
Dope finds man! hey born and raised in East Las Vegas NV went to rancho hs and el Dorado I was wondering if the freeway areas near the prison were legal to do this in? Ofcourse not to close to the prisons but up the roads looks like roads that have not been tracked for decades!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe it's highway 95 or 93 going north ?leaving vegas
Nice
What are the rings, like the ones at 2:04?
I really enjoy your videos, I’ll probably never be able to go out West, so I’m very grateful to be able to explore with you ✝️🙏🏼💟
Could be charcoal kilns for smelting. NE Nevada has huge ones.
portland cement mill/quarry in the background.
The area could be for railroad construction or mining. Either way lots of blasting powder is needed. Those stacked up rocks look like ovens for cooking the ore from small mines along time ago. Kilns I think they are called. Thwy are used for production of certain products out of mine ore.
NO.
The F is for the size of the powder balls. There is FF and FFG ect. Its the size of the screen used to sort it.
I'd say Chinese all the way! All the powder was for building the RR. I would guess those primitive quickly constructed shelters were just temporary shelter as they moved on. But then again I have know idea what I'm talking about.
Definitely looks like someone was prospecting the area looking for useful ores. I'm surprised those tin cans are still somewhat recognizable, tin usually doesn't last long, but in that environment, who can say. I wonder why they weren't using more modern blasting materials. Powder isn't that potent and it's considerably heavier and sensitive to moisture, not that there is too much moisture there. Maybe that's all they needed and it was cheaper at the time. It all represents some hard sweaty work. Watch out for the snakes, I've been bitten before, it isn't pleasant .
Since I live in Southern Nevada I am trying to figure out from the video where you are at. It looks to me like either North of Las Vegas off the I-15, or up the Hwy.93 around Lincoln County.
This was actually near Sloan, in the south.
The round piles of rock's with strategically placed holes are for smelting ore!
The original right-of-way took lots of blasting...thus the numerous black powder cans.
What part of Nevada were you in , in the distance it looked like gold field NV
I would assume that was one fair size campsite?? For a bunch of working men in those days.
The indians fired clay pots in those
kilns
Is the railroad still used today?
I think the cans with the slits made with a sharp knife were evaporated milk, I think they ate a lot of pancakes fresh eggs didn't need refrigeration
What the hec.. were u flying and driving?!! Talk about vertigo! Lol! But seriously ?!! That would be crazy
Well blasting cans and a rock kiln...smelting going on..but what metal?
1st time on your website, great video! Where is this location in Nevada? Thanks
Thank you! This is in the Sloan area, south ov Vegas. 🤙
Where do you get your background music? Cool finds out in the desert!
Epidemicsound.com 🤙
was that kenny veach waving to the drone ?
Looks like agreat pizza oven gravegard. bet you can cook on A coup!e of them yet. They also reminess a smaller versions of native structures from tribe out by Mono Lake.
Do you have to pickup everything?
The "T" is the rating on the powder and it goes all the way to 4 "F"
Where was that dog sign at?
Ok ovens. That what they look like to me.
But That’s a lot of blasting powder.
The land is very flat.
What were they blowing up?
The powder cans they were mining gold 🪙 the strainer.
"The little flap was my third name..."
Was this outside Needles ca.on the cal/Nevada 95 heading north towards calnevari /Vegas?
It was actually in Sloan
Nice find👍 what do you suppose those mounds were for?
Thanks! I'm thinking now they were fire pits for cooking food. The walls to keep the wind down and the little doors for putting in the food but who knows.
Keep powder dry?
tweakers ? they did take alot of time snd effort 🤷🏼♂️
@@heyoldman2003 😂😂 Ha ! Ha ! Priceless
@@RemoteTrooper Seems like it. But I don't see any indication of fire or heat.
This is what zero deductive reasoning looks like.
It's a oven to smelt gold that's all it could be.
I wonder what the white "X" is for at 5:08
The best way to find a spider or scorpion ?
Pick up an old rusty can with your hand . . .
Looks like some shoot out took place.
Tya
Gude ! What is the music ? What tune ?
Hunting blinds.
Poor Taz..
You out near apex and moappa?
Some of these videoes that have cars in them want me to be a body worker or car restorer
Anyone else see a snake coiled up un that rock formation? ( Approx 4:00)
Kilm for melting gold?
I'd paint my vehicle white. Reflect that heat. Cool videos!
We’re there Ashes in there pits ?
No, just cobwebs and dirt.
The rocks were used for ovens
It took far more black powder than dynamite to blast rocj.
What is the song
Where abouts are you in Nevada?
Sloan
Hey bud, you are RIGHT in my neighborhood, I do the same kind of exploring too, look me up!
The rock formations were made by Chinese railroad workers when the LA&SL RR was put in during the turn of the century.
Look me up man!
It read "Beans"
At 4:00 is an oven
I would suggest the rock formations were placed to store food so the wild animals would not take them.
smelter?????
Love the videos bro. I use to live in Vegas back in 2001 to 2007
I too love the outdoors I love to wheel. I own a 95 gmc jimmy. It’s currently out of commission. Do an accident last year. I’ve been trying to get fixed back up winters coming up soon I wanna get back out on the trails agin. I take my dog Harley out with me too she’s a pit bull man she go’s everywhere with me she’s been sad though no vehicle to ride in at the moment. I live in the Coachella valley there’s some good wheeling out here. We got two big events once a year ones called TDS tierra del sol held in ocotillo wells. Would wide event. We also have King of the hammers also world wide event.
Back in 2000 I had an Isuzu trooper as well when I use to live in Fresno ca I took it though the San Joaquin river one time I like the little back door on the troopers.
bullet holes in cans 🤣
