That house teaser at the end. I remember the time you used to show the container castle in 3D. What a journey that was, hope to experience the new project just like the castle.
I KNEW IT!!!!!! The spot above your clearing where your containers and equipment live, the spot where you've been doing all the rock crushing, its perfectly cut out to build into the hill. being on top of the mountain, it has to be built INTO the mountain because of the wind exposure. Also, in your video of the equipment expo where you saw the small mining attachment, the first thing I thought was "He is planning to build some tunnels under or around the new castle". Fantastic idea, Andrew. Can't wait to see THOSE videos.
That glimpse at the project at the end. I suppose for the new mountain property ? Wow, man, if you're gonna build this Andrew, that'll be YEARS of awesome and most exiting videos to come !!! 🥳👍💪
There is a dredge in Fairplay, Colorado like this one. the Fairplay dredge boat, which mined the Fairplay placer along the South Platte River. The Mosquito Mountains are in the background. This dredge boat was built by the Yuba Manufacturing Company and shipped to Fairplay, Colorado in sections. The South Platte Dredging Company used it to mine the Fairplay placer along the South Platte River starting in 1941. The Fairplay dredge was electrically operated and was the largest dredge in Colorado. The dredge had over 100 buckets that fed gravel from the river bottom into the dredge's interior where it was milled. The stacker then deposited the tailings along the river channel. The dredge mined up to 15,000 cubic yards of placer gravels per day and could reach to a depth of 105 feet. Dredge operations were suspended in 1942 and resumed in 1945, and finally shut down permanently in 1952.
I'm from the UK and have never been snowmobiling, but its a definitely a dream of mine and after watching you going through them nice forest trails its now getting higher up on the bucket list, so thanks for taking us along with you 👍
Dress warm, good boots, good gloves,helmet and a scarf, I liked to have a good pair of goggles, kinda like dressing for snow skiing. It’s a blast on good trails with good snow, we don’t seem to get that in northern Ohio lately, if you get a chance, go for it. It’s a lot of fun even if only for a day. And it is a lot like jet skiing only it’s warm out.
Tony Beats of Gold Rush (on Discovery Channel) spent several millions of dollars about 5 years ago to move and restoring one of these dredges. He had trouble finding the cast iron buckets for the dredge line. He is actually using it again this season 14. Ep. 20 It take only two people to operate.
Thank you Andrew. Very interesting video this time. Dredged was very interesting. The snow? Can't do cold anymore. I'm glad you had fun with your friends!!!!!
In 1979 I climbed on a dredge in La grange California, it was in the same state of repair, best time of my life, Best video ever, Thanks Andrew for the memories.
You know what I like is helmet cam. You feel the thrill as though you were there. Thanks andrew for that rush of being there while sitting in my comfy recliner nice and warm. Woo-hoo lets do it again . Thank god for replay i will watch it more than once. Was that a sneek peak of a new castle on the hill back home. On his mountain top. Oh my!😮😊
I was JUST about to watch the other 1 of maintaining the trails !!!! Snowmobiling & quads exploring is so much fun. I hope I can still do it when I'm older !!! I'm 55 now, HOPE to when I'm 80+
If that's a sneak peak of your next mountain top retreat, I like it alot Andrew . You go for it. I think you would love it, for sure. Always something to do on Andrew's mountain top retreat.
Livin great. Camaraderie seemed great too. Love the chalet/bunker rendering at the end...can't believe you are sharing it. As soon as you squared off that mountain top, I wondered if something was in the works. But I didn't think it would be public. Amazing!
Incredible footage again great job . Nice too watch through your experience . Since having hip replacement and a few other issues from the same kind of life style over the years it’s fun too watch thanks . Inspiring as well . 40:05
Spectacularly cinematic location...I could spend days and days photographing every last inch. Imagine this Mad-Max monstrosity in full flight when it was in use, dredging gold - just amazing!👏🏻 Thanks for taking us along on the ride AC!
Very interesting piece re the dredger, imagine over the years quite a few have scanned every inch. Now the snowmobiles showed Teambuilding at its finest, most important word was 'we', glad you had a great time as it looked treacherous in places. The ending; a glipse of your new build perhaps?
Those gold dredges were astonishing constructions & I'm glad I found a photo on-line of the "The Peggy" in her prime operating on Washington Bar, Tobacco Root Mountains from 1938 to 1942.
This is by-far the best video you have produced to-date! The production values and drone-footage are impressive (as always) but the SUBJECT is what brings the GREATNESS! And, the best part, you are helping document an important historical site/relic ... this old dredge ought to be put on the National Register of Historic Places because it's an important part of the engineering history of the US. AND, thanks, too, for appealing to my EXPLORER instincts ... which have always burned strongly throughout my long life ... and, I'm very pleased to see we have THAT in common ... and, the quest for knowing the unknown lives on in another generation of young explorers, like you.

As a child my parents had a pop top vw bus camper, and I remember being in Valdez alaska exploring old dredges like this one! Thanks for bringing back some memories. Cool stuff!
The footage of exploring the old dredge reminded me of adventures with my brother when we were really young children (totally unsupervised). I would have been 3 and he would have been 5 and we climbed through an old abandoned saw mill full of rusty equipment and rotting wood. It was an entire afternoon of entertainment. It is amazing that we are still alive with all our limbs.
The design of the new "castle" house looked awesome. Putting it into the hill like that will help the heating and cooling of that floor. It looks really cool. You're gonna have to give us some more info on that.
We had smaller dredge in my area in northern Ontario Canada, but at least 50 underground gold mine shafts a few are still operating by major mining companies to this day...I was an underground miner here for 43 years till a stroke finished my career.
Did we just see a 1952 Chevrolet Bel-Amino at the mining operation? Great video Andrew. Love the old gold dredges. We have one in Sumpter, Oregon that mined that entire valley before it petered out. The dredge is not owned by the State Parks system. You can go on the dredge and then go learn how to pan gold from a Park Ranger. This dredge was featured on the television show Ghost Mine some years back.

He's building a crib for the new honey.
Looks like a nice home
That looks to me like the basement of the castle, but clearly, it's a new building, and it was designed to look like the castle.
It will be another white elephant like the container castle. Andrew prefers staying at home.
@@EsseHolezLol, according to who?
Great treat for the early birds on a Sunday. Not often I hear Andrew say “yea this looks very dangerous”
The last time he said that was that one time he saw John Wick in person....
Don’t panic it got upgraded to perfect, after a quick reassessment of the situation

A gold dredge is the ultimate mechanical device, so many different systems working in harmony.

Love to see these West Yellowstone snowmobile trip videos!
When the bass kicks on that opening shot... Freakin Tiësto here 😁 great video bud
Dude... these videos lately are great. That drone work on the dredge and the editing are top notch.I felt like I was there.
Epic video Andrew. Thanks for sharing.
That snow was crazy deep!! Cool sneak peek of the new Castle design 😎 can't wait to see the new build Series. Always entertaining Andrew 😎👍
That was crazy, jump of your snowmobile and you’re waist deep in snow! You sure wouldn’t want to get stranded out there.
If that's a sneak peak of your next mountain top retreat, I like it alot Andrew . You go for it. I think you would love it, for sure. Always something to do on Andrew's mountain top retreat.
Awesome content Andrew! Thanks for your efforts 👏👏
Watching this makes me feel like I’m part of the adventure! Thanks for sharing ❤
That dredge was a floating gold factory. The size is very impressive and to think it all worked with mechanical clutches and cables just amazing.
anyone else now expecting Tony Beets to come rolling up in town next week?
Just thinking the same..... 😃
That was my first thought 😂
He was on my mind seeing this....
Another great video, thank you for sharing.
Just an awesome video again! cool dredge thank you for the tour I’m looking forward to the build videos every day soon😂 just can’t get enough thanks
Awesome snow adventure, "that tree jumped in front of him" that was the best part 😂 😂
