Good 😊

useless with stupid mask on

What's the big deal?

Abandoned mining lumber mill area

Hello. Rob. can. you. please. film. this. fire. tower. in. early. spring. just. before. forest. fire. season. , you. did. great. footage. on. this. one. And. the. music. is. very. soothing. and. relaxing. / have. a. good. day. and. season. / Bill. S. Canada

Looks like one of the old ICBM sites I helped decommission in the 80's in Northern Alberta. Very cool video

Interesting

I dont even know what state you are in.

I would have been too scared to crawl down into that hole- but I'm glad you were brave enough too- I was very curious as to what was in there. I hope animals don't fall down those holes. That was quite the place in the 60s.

I don’t think that if the government didn’t want you to know about it you wouldn’t be able to drive directly to it, they would have a security fence with a armed guard or at least cameras, all of the remnants would not be left and the kids wouldn’t be able to tag it. Not to secret. Just saying.

Neat place. I rode my KLR out there a few years ago. The beavers were busy then too.

Well, I have a few hunches about what, just not where. I did recognize the closing shot, though I have not personally crossed that bridge yet. I do remember the hubbub of some years ago when the single bridge torqued up due to the extreme cold, and shut down the TranzCanada Goat Trail for a few days.

Ice and snow + cement room underground = Canadian basement.

Really cool site! Surprised at how much is left behind. Great explore :)

Old military outpost.

Probably a NATO American cold war facility for monitoring Russian nuclear testing!

They trained Canada geese there as suicide attack birds !! It was closed after the birds turned on their handlers !!!!! 🤐🤐

Rite mint Buddy. My dad used to take us to places like that when i was a kid.

"I see nothing- Nothing" ! SGT. Shultz from Hogan's Heroes TV show...seriously though , this is not secret, It is(>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<) > 35👍

interesting to say, what was there before, some intense buildings for sure

Where's Robert Stack when you need him?

What was this?

Where do you start?

Wow where was that? Got the coords for it. I'm a Forester and would love to see it or any other that is still standing. I think I was born out of time, should have been a ranger.

Wow... Please tell us more about that hammock with the screened-in top! Where the hell were those things 50 years ago?? Yeah, and the pool noodle has got to make a huge difference (nod to a prior commenter's comment). Yes, some very interesting lighting. I will check into that link you put in the description. Some nice footage. Memories of splitting wood and making kindling. My Dad taught me how to split wood and make usable kindling. I think it was not long after that he realized just what a monster he had created, as I wanted to spend hours doing it. But hey, I still have ALL of my digits, and toes too. A lumberjack, I definitely am not, but I used to be able to turn a full cord ( or 8 ) into a lot of face cords. I hated it when I was a teenager, but eventually figured out just how great heating with firewood really was.

I like the pool noodle idea. To keep the mosquito netting up. Looks like a beautiful stay nice and peaceful. I like all the noise of the bugs at night though that's nice.

That rabbit looked well fed. Always have a backup dinner plan. Is your camper a toy hauler? Good looking unit.

Make sure that you aren't in range when the wife starts swing that axe !!! 🤣🤣

Very nice.

get to ARROW LAKE this summer

I hope Ranger Gord was OK. I've learned a lot from him. Actually nothing. Keep your stick on the ice.

And the fur was flying.

What a great capture!! Thanks for posting Rob!

I'll never believe in the Easter bunny again!

Wow, Monty Python was right

Far cooler than MMA ...great catch Rob

Awesome!

No quit in those two they were really going at it !!

Very nice.

Sad to see this. There has been a lot of money spent on this project, and it is an ongoing expense. I think the two buffer pads that she was fixed to the dock by cost 64k back in the day. Plus the refurbishment in Matane PQ, and the tow to TBay, ate up large. I used to be a member of the Toronto Marine Historical Society till I moved. My work at the time, I owned an auto carrier, and I picked up loads of import cars from the docks in Vancouver, and distributed them throughout western Canada, and North Western Ontario for 22 years. One of the members of the Toronto group donated a large Marconi Marine Radio, weighing about 60 lbs, and I brought it up in the truck on my way west. I meet the curator their and he gave me the tour. It was in good condition then, still an ongoing project, but he mentioned the location didn’t make it easy for the public to access. It seemed to me that all the tourists where on the waterfront downtown Port Arthur as is still the case. On a side note, I owned an old fish / logging tug that had an extensive history at the Lakehead. It was one of the tugs in the Great Lakes Pulp and Paper Fleet. The Glen G. She was built in 1909 in Ohio by American Ship Building Co. for Booth Fisheries. ( Chicago ) but ended up surplus in Deluth. She was bought by the Gariock Brothers in Port Arthur in 37, and eventually sold to GLPP in 53. I owned it from 91, till about 2007 ? and believe me it costs a lot of money to keep an old boat a float. Last I saw her was at a tug gathering in Midland a few years ago, and I think it still ties up in Collingwood. She was a beautiful old boat out of the water in the dry dock, and a pleasure to handle. As for the Whalen she was gutted our and freshly painted inside and out. Not much to look at technically, as all the machinery had been removed, so basically it was just a shell, with historical ties to the Lake Head. My tug did sort of have a connection to it in a way. Booth Fisheries ran a steamer called America, that supplied all the fish camps on western Superior ( no roads back in the day ), sometime back in the late 20’s America while making its rounds went up hard on Isle Royale, and sank. I believe the salvage master was Capt James Ried, tried to salvage it before winter, using the James Whalen but ran out of time. when he returned the next spring someone had dynamited America, and she’s still there today. Booth had the fish tug Hollis M. ( later Glen G. ) stand in to pick up the fish from the fish camps till they figured out a long term solution. The Glen G. towed booms back and forth in the Kam River till I believe the late 60’s when towing log booms on the open lake was phased out. Sorry about the long story. Just going by my recollection. I remember you as a member of one of Robert Archers marine internet sights, and had the pleasure to work briefly with Capt Beasley on a large wind turbine project of Kingston Ontario for a season.

Did you by chance find the torque specs for those (and any other) bolts? If so, could you share? Thanks!

You need a wider angle lens LOLOL

Ohh! You've got Amethyst on that rock! And were there theres iron or Amethyst, the golds besides it!

I noticed a cabin in the background behind the pillar! Did you guys go explore it? There's a few tonnes of salvage steel!

Hey bud I have one of these on my bucket list. Where in Northern Ontario is this one?

Nice lake at the end.

That was good. Little adventure. Finally got old bridge. I would have walked walked across it. No I wouldn't have went across. I'm not good at Heights anymore. Getting too old for that. Other than that good stuff 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

Yeah too bad that fire tower is on his last legs. There's not many of them left. I remember a few years ago. You're up to one good stuff. I was up in one years back and southeastern Ontario the ganoraska Forest. They had one but they took it down. It wasn't safe. That's what happens to him quite the client but it was interesting. I'm glad I was got a chance to go up it. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

I wonder if the same wind that toppled all those trees took the Cupola off as well? Or maybe the twisted tea folks used the Cupola as a parachute to get down! 😂 Are you going to visit any mines this year Rob? Those videos are a treat!
