Here's the prison tour video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKeFqNB5xrbQZ4E.html

You made me laugh when you said 'I can hear you all yelling at me' because I was saying, get out of there, it is so dangerous. Brilliant video,

My grandma worked and retired from there!

another great video! there's something so mesmerizing about old abandoned buildings in the middle of the woods

10 minutes into the video and I haven't seen any spray paint, that's amazing. What a beautiful part of the country

Thank you, Chris! ❤️

Chris, you have brought hours of watching and discussion pleasure to myself and my family. Thank you. 👍

I was at Brushy Mountain area last year visiting for a few days. Beautiful part of the country.

Love these videos for the crunch of leaves and twigs as you hike around. Seriously good ASMR

Super video, Chris. I admire your tenancity and bravery in entering those mine areas. Appreciate you, and your keen interests! Thank you for sharing them.

I love seeing things like this. My papaw and my uncle were both coalminers in Kentucky. It means a lot to see places like this. The mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky are absolutely beautiful. Great video ♥️

Glad you are still in Tennessee. We have lots of interesting as well as beautiful places to see. If you have moved on, then you are always welcome to return.

The minute someone goes in a mine with collapsed beams, I have to nope nope nope out of watching it. My grandad had a lot of mine stories. 🥶 Glad to see you survived though, since you posted the video…

You are so lucky to be able to visit such amazing places, so glad you share them with us, thank you

I live 30 minutes from there Chris, are you still in town ? I knew people on both sides of the bars up there and one of them hated it. Good stuff brother. God Bless

I like your hat, man! Watch out for Jason! Amazing how quickly abandoned structures get overgrown back East. In the West, you'd STILL be able to walk up to the mine, see the mine, no problem.

Awesome! I just moved to Northern Georgia from Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Spent the past three years finding and hiking decommissioned and overgrown logging roads. Love finding abandoned ‘artifacts’ in the wilderness. Great video and this will be my first adventure out here.

Having prisoners work is a great idea. Do they actually work today? Seems like they are coddled and then released.

Always enjoy when I see another video pop up! Thanks for the (years now?) of exploring for us!

Dude, I’m a hiker and a backpacker, and I love your channel because you have great content and great style. 👍🏻👍🏻 Another great adventure, thanks.

Always a joy to watch your videos. Good job at the information and history of the places you visit. Stay safe.

So so nervous when he walks into these situations..love the silence and nature. The sound of being outside is my favorite. Thank you ❤️

My mom's family is from Floyd County Kentucky, McDowell and my family have been coal miners for generations. I have lost family, to bad air, cave ins, explosions and mines flooding. My grandfather died when I was 3 from a heart attack. It was a side effect of black lung. Coal miners are a whole different breed of man. I am proud of my roots.

That mountain side is so beautiful, it makes the hike look so enjoyable. I would use the old timber in the mine shaft. I love the history behind the prison and that area.

Great job! It’s tough to hike up and down all of that!

Thanks so much for walking through all of that to get the video, fascinating look at past treatment of people and how little things have changed. But thank you because the more we learn the more our knowledge can change our futures

Common Box Turtle. Black Rat snake is nonvenomous. I'd been worried about rattlers and copperheads tho.

Thanks Chris, a very interesting look at what has been left behind from back in the day. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

I live in eastern Kentucky and we have abandoned mines all over the place. When I was little and didn’t know any better I’d craw back in them with a flashlight till I couldn’t go any further.

I was going to say. I think you and Lamont already did this one? But it seems you came all the way back to continue your discoveries at this relic. Fucking brilliant man I love it - no stone unturned!

Those mines looked so crumbly and dangerous. I was on pins and needles hoping you would be okay.

Loved this video, I have seen many Brushy Mountain ghost hunting Video's and never heard of the coal mines, so interesting Thanks for taking that long hike up the mountain. I thought it was kind of funny whispering in the mine, but I probably would of done the same thing not knowing what was there.

Hey Chris; We enjoy watching your videos, you do a great job. I love history. My Dad worked in the coal mines in West Virginia back in the late "40's

Nice video. You are on the old mine trail at Frozen Head. On up the mountain is more mines, one called the mega mine that is tricky to get to but has about a 20' x 15' opening blocked by an 8' fence.

👍I’m a 3rd gen coal miner in Utah. Always cool 2 c how they did it back in the day!!

Chris hope all is well in your travels looking forward to the next video stay safe!

I am one of the people that you heard screaming at you 😂..My uncle is a retired coal miner and he was in a collapsed mine accident right before he retired..The doctors said it was a miracle that his heart had not been punctured ..He was working in one of the safest, and high tech mines in the country and the ceiling caved in on them .I know you were not in that type of situation however, I was still worried that the same thing could have happened to you..I am like that whenever, I watched someone take a risk that could end with a potential accident ..I was also wondering why you were whispering? so it seems you have your viewers figured out .I am always watching your videos but I rarely ever comment. Anyway keep up the good work and watch out for snakes..

The structures were built in quite excellent condition considering the location is in the middle of nowhere

You sure do visit interesting places, thanks for taking us along

I live half an hour away from the prison. I've been in that mine. If you had gone another 20 yards or so you'd have found an old dynamite box. If you had turned right then taken the next left you'd have found a pair of boots.

You're definitely brave Highgate Cemetery is one creepy place and it's such a shame what happened in the 60's with the desecration of the bodies. I agree with you its beautiful in there even though the trees and bushes are overgrown.

That Black Snake you filmed is what we country folks call a '' Black Racer.'' I had one race me from my nanny's mailbox all the way to her door one day, and after racing it for over 2 acres I was nearly ready to faint of fear b/c I was really young and had never seen one before, and my nanny just laughed. Much love friend.

That was awesome thanks so much for your adventures you allow me to be on

Love your videos, amazingly clear and your voice is calming. Keep up the great work 👍

“There maybe Bears in there I didn’t want to disrupt them “ 😂 that’s gotta be one of his best quotes ever 😂, another brilliant video 👍🏽

For those of us not familiar with the area: Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary last named Brushy Mountain Correctional Complex (also called Brushy) was a large maximum-security prison in the town of Petros in Morgan County, Tennessee, operated by the Tennessee Department of Correction. It was established in 1896 and operated until 2009. The grounds of the prison are now included in part of the Barkley Marathons.

What an extraordinary adventure you just took me on. TYSVM! Thouroughly enjoyed very second. That was a biggg snake! Please be careful, you take so many risks xx

This is so cool I hope someday I can do what you do and travel around the country with my little toyota pickup

Thank you for the great content as always 👍👍👍

That was a pretty big cottonmouth. Saw one like that wrapped around a tree stump in my neighbor's yard when we were kids. We thought it was fake because of it's perfectly geometric black scales. Until it moved. That one you stumbled into was huge. Awesome video!

I love your videos. Always an adventure!

Beautiful ! ❤️ 🤗. Amazing ! 🤩

If you go further back, it splits off into two tunnels. It's very dangerous and main entrance is blocked off(gated) for a reason, but I've been up to the split offs then turned around as i found it was very dumb and unsafe. I was surprised at how hot it was in there as well

you've got such a badass channel and energy. love it! keep up that awesome videos man!

Thank you for all the information. Really helps!

Hi there. Yes you were absolutely right when you said “I can hear you all yelling at me”. I was like REALLY?? What if something were to happen to you and we view it live. 😬😖🥺 you never know. These mines are rotting away. Please be very careful! 🙏🏽

this guy deserves his own tv show, hes better than any history show on television

I absolutely love your hat. I would love to explore places like this. Looks awesome. I live in Knoxville Tn and never been to Brushy Mountain. Need to check it out. Awesome video.

Very good. Thank you

Eastern box turtle. Thanks for the tour Chris! 👍👍

Interesting there being a Prison mine camp so high up in the mountains. The snake and the tortoise weren't too interested in you glad they kept to themselves. Thanks for sharing!

I enjoy all your videos. Thank you

What an incredible place

That snake I think was a water moccasin, and the turtle was a box turtle. Cool vid kid. 😻

Fantastic, Chris

Be safe out there. Thank You

You make history interesting 😊 That's why I follow your channel

Eastern Box Turtle? It sure is pretty!

Going above and beyond man.

You should check out the Fraterville Mine Disaster Site

Another interesting video as usual. Those spiders on the wall, I was brought up in Scotland and as a kid growing up you'd see them all the time. Don't ever see them no more, weird.

You are a youtube sensation.

One of the best vids you've made !

Love your videos

it looks like the prisoners and a lovely view

Snake video?? James Earl Ray was perhaps the most famous inmate at this prison. Jim C.

Awesome video

Maybe instead of being used for ammo it was for solitary confinement...who knows

These are some very interesting places that you are visiting

Yikes!! What a creepy place! I fear for your lungs in a few years after going into these moldy, dusty and unclean air places. That snake was a big one, too. How depressing of a place would that have been for those inmates who worked day in and day out in those dark and dank underground mines. I can't help but wonder what the death toll was for both inmates and guards. Being sent to that prison must have been similar to being sent to San Quintin. Thanks for being boots on the ground for us and please be careful in those kinda places, all by yourself!!

Very interesting,, watch for ticks!,,,,✌🏼😊

U r brave going through all that dense growth. But it’s somethg that was great to see

Love this channel!!!! You have a new subscriber 👍

That turtle looks pretty good your birds in the background that's pretty cool I like your video

How many encounters have you experienced with poison ivy while exploring?

I toured the prison last September it is very interesting

Once again...Fantastic Job!! Thank You!!

Keep the vids coming

Great video. Don't ever stop making these!

Always interesting, thanks.

I when to it last summer when I up state seeing family it a cool place to see Brushy!

My fear of snakes keeps me from going on mountain hikes. Your a brave one, take care and be careful

So cool to see the old structures and mines

Hey brother. I'm a new subscriber. This channel is awesome. I dig your work. Thanks for sharing. God bless. 🙏🇺🇸🇨🇦

You won’t disrupt a bear in there, bears aren’t stupid enough to go in there.😆😂🤣

Great video!

Wow, great finds, who knew that those buildings were there?

Awesome video brother!! Loves these places. I live by johnstown PA so we have lots of old coal mines and such

Love your videos 💙

I normally watch train vidios but now I have seen your exploration on the country ill be glad to watch more vidios and broken my horizon. I used to explore alot when I was young. I relly enjoyed the unexpected surprise. ☺
