I Spent 48 Hours Living 700 Feet Underground 

And I don't think he noticed.

Between the "crowd noises" and the "pool" at the end, before watching the whole video I really underestimated how true this comment was.

Yeaaaah What is time ? would it even be a thing anymore ? like yeah... ( that line made me giggle hahahaha )

I think he got into the bar

😂🤣😂

HaHaHaHaHa! That would be a funny conversation!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The miners thoughts-- 1. How could he go 48 hours without Prince Albert? 2. WTF shrimp?!?

I mean, those dead trapped Chinese miners probably were watching....

have you seen time trap first thing i thought of when i seen this

I absolutely agree. I used to work overnight security at some secluded construction sites. Sometimes, I'd get sent to huge unoccupied buildings. It can get pretty creepy if you let certain thoughts into your head.

@@carolpascua1848i quit doing night security once i experienced something run through the hallway and as it went every single door in the corridor it was running down opened like a domino affect as it went, Scared the shit out of me

Up

The quickest and easiest way to do that would be to use a Zebeedee cave mapping tool, however, I'm not sure how easy it would be to get one. They're an Australian invention, and have been used for lots of caves

Give me two days on Minecraft.

I’ve got some min-dmapping software would that help?

@@joshuamorrall4527 lets just say if they don't do it ill build a rpi version using tensorflow

Things I have seen: Markings, memorizing sequences of landmarks, maps, right hand rule.

In one video he threw down glow strips at junctions.

He throws down bread crumbs he just doesn’t tell you. Your welcome

I’ve played enough minecraft to feel the exact same way

@@sheripoland4742 Sounds reasonable. Especially since it would enable others to find you in case of an accident.

True...it's really something else when we stop to consider it 🧐

yoo! love both of yous vids!

You're killing it too dude

Really cool to see you here. I just watched a Coffeehouse Crime video before coming here.

Hit up last year'sChristmas, it was kinda on the same vibe 😂

That's actually a great idea!!

and a 'you are here' map where each cache is stashed.

@@Br1ckInTh3W4LL Yep I agree!!

@@canadianguy1955 absolutely

Maybe even put together an Amazon wish list of basic items for a cache. Contributors can pay for them, and drop ship them to his PO box. He can stash them throughout the mines, in their original Amazon boxes, with the name of the purchaser on the outside. Then, if he's ever in a real pickle, he knows who he can give a super special thanks to.

Omg.... I didn't notice til you mentioned it!!

Ditto

you currently have 48 likes

Noticed it too

Nothing to do with the number 48, but I happened to read this comment at 21:51 in the video. Brent finds initials and a date inscribed on the wall -- H.L.A. 10-31-30 (which is 91 years ago today! 😃)

Yeah, I always expect a pair of red eyes to appear behind him in a tunnel. Imagine if that actually happened, nobody would belive him.

@@yaykruser the descent intensifies

was about to comment that, cheers, like minded induvial

48 in Chinese means "go die". So..... idk. should have made it 69:69 instead.

Did you catch when he first showed the timer at 1:51, the video was at the same?

@@drfusioncraft omg... no, I have to vo look now.. Thanks!

@@drfusioncraft Illuminati confirmed!

He is aware of some spirit activity in the area too! The dudes brave man! Super brave!

There is a great national geographic article from March 1975 where he attempts 6 months down in the cave. He performed daily duties and a team on surface would monitor him. His circadian rhythms varied from 10 to 48 hours. They ended the experiment early after two months due to significant mental strain.

Like Jack in The Shining

I would lose my mind in 10 mins, not gonna lie

Ikr...🤣

For real! My video would have called: "Welp, 48 seconds down in a mine"

I'd be done! LoL. Or radio for someone to send it down!

Wouldn’t have survived at all, that’s game over

Whoa. That sounds like a totally different experience than this one haha. That is crazy! Glad you made it out OK.

Wow, that's insane

Well Frederick, thank God it was only the hoist ,man. Glad you made it out safe, FYI bring something to eat regardless if you eat it or not. As for your supervisor, he sounds like a piece of crap God be with you brother

@@shawnsevering1480 I'm retired now, no more underground for me, and thanks!

@@MrJeep75 a very rare occurance for me, just that one time.

Not after they saw the bar. Bottoms up!

Imagine exploring a mine and encountering someone wearing a red robe, a black facemask and sounding weird (from the "massager" vibrating his chest). They would be traumatized. Tall dwarves exist, and they're freaky as hell!

i think they wouldnt be far from the truth :D

Michel from Vsauce did three days and almost went crazy. Couldn't keep a sleeping schedule to save his life.

I was almost nauseous watching...good lord

He is kind a nut for sure, lol.

This one is the king of the hill, errr, mine for him. Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!

Lol I cringed when he scrambled his eggs in the hot pan. Then he said he went to culinary school and I was confused. Then he said it didn't work out and all was well in the world again lol. Brent, you may not be a chef, but you have found yourself and it is amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing your adventures and story. I love it.

Johnson n Wales

Plus cold pasta sauce straight out of the jar.

the steak and shrimp in the same pan for the same amount of time killed me.

@@lynnayamoon frrrrrrr

@Scuba Steve LOL

So???? What’s the third thing then? 🤔 🧐

He drinks alot.

And a massage gun! _every women giggles_ 😉

@@Av-vd3wk must be booze🤣

Thank you for the note! The video helped cheer me up a bit too. Hope you can visit some time

@@GhostTownLiving it's amazing you replied I would live to cook for you and explore, you are my favorite youtuber, and never forget alot of people love what you and wish to visit you keep your head up and just know alot of people love you.

Very interesting, well thought out and excellently videographer. Thanks

@@GhostTownLiving I want the rock

Hang in there Michael! I too hope I can stay at Cerro Gordo someday!

*DNA test the miner's cat box Brett! Every DNA company in the US would pay for that!* *See which YTers are most closely related to the miners!*

A low point in the adventure for sure. Knowing another morning after to come with no coffee...

@@GhostTownLiving Not the coffee!!!! Noooooo!!!!💯

Lets fund raise it for him.

I was literally thinking something along these lines. I would love to see this implemented in some 3D modeling software.

It's still a good question.(time) A good thing to think about...😉

@@rickobrien4025 I said out load, "WTF Did he just put BBQ sauce on eggs? But hey, he said he went to culinary school so I'm not going to question his taste in condiments on eggs..

That's what I tell myself when I start getting anxious with some of his climbs.....he posted the video...its okay.

Me everytime there ISN'T a weekly video: "omg Wtf happened to him" *going straight to his Instagram to check date of last post Brent : "hey guys, I'm super busy so there will be no video this week" Me: "phew, man don't do this to me! MB"

Kinda feel like his mental health has been in a decline since he's moved up there and being alone so much.

I wanna come visit so badly, some day I will come take my daughter to come see the magic you've created 🤗

trever Brand or maybe he's getting closer to his true nature as a human being and we are all in a drastic decline in mental health trying to conform to a our "normal lives" and seeing him connect to his true nature makes us uncomfortable.

When we question reality we are looked upon as crazy. When you realise we are all hue-man then you'll realise we are all created in the vision of a creator. We are all in gods image, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we where all once a twinkle in our fathers eye.

I know right!

Galena???? damn,gimme some,these things were used as diodes for crystal radios,fuck gold,i'd be walking out of that mine with all of my pockets and my backpack full of this stuff!

I’m watching it now ! It’s hilarious !!! Love how it’s just layers of his sanity eluding him ! Until he sits back in the chair and all is back to normal

I love to see mics 🎙 place in the mine with a cable long enough so you can hear it when ever you want.

Yesssss hahahaha he’s so goddamn cute.

lol nice

could it also be underground streams?

Might be low level tinatus.

i get it often, 100% when its quiet, I can also pin point conversations, never mentioned it in case people think Im mental, but in dead silence, it happens, like a radio frequency tuned in!

Thats what i was thinking or it could be your heart beating

so true, but it made me happy watching such an . . . event

That would be amazing lol

Probably would have to put in a proper Otis elevator to make that up to commercial code lol

@@zeroeffortmemes just make it a speak easy with NDAs signed for entrance lmao

@@WanderingBat this is the ultimate speakeasy

Would need a high speed hoist. You know like a ten minute ride opposed to 90.

Like Seven said!!

Interestingly, that sound is actually your own blood moving through your head, kinda like listening to a sea shell. If it's quite enough it really stands out because so many little things usually distract you from the fact that your body is constantly making sounds!

this mine hade a lot of workers so it makes sense its haunted 100% i believe him

@@Jxuptosae My body made noises too while enjoying this video. I guess I ate way too many beans. 😂💨 Hahaha

He could probably hear his own heart beating when it's that quiet, too.

If it was me i would just hear EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the whole fucking time,that,would drive me crazy

😂

I’m literally on that part now and I’m laughing so hard. Just the closeups of his face and mouth hahahaha

Lmao

I thought somebody dosed me

Lmfao I'm eating shrooms. Just ate two chocolates about 15 minutes ago. Here comes the train LOLOL

No they didn’t. Miners hated their job, they did it survive.

@@TheChicalozza haha party pooper, maybe they were all just laughing because Bret turned their hell into a joke and a vacation location

@@TheChicalozza he’s appreciating what they did…. They’d be honored

Yep Mr Heffner Jr......lmao

Like the late great Norm Macdonald said comedy is surprises so if you're intending to make people laugh and they don't laugh, that's funny.

how did you end up squatting and where are you now?

Probably wasnt a phenomenon but people camping. Hunting. 4 wheeling Shooting. I lived off the clackamas for 30 years haha.

Whoa! What an experience that must have been. How long did you live there?

@@GhostTownLiving Could that be the ebb and flow sound of an aquifer, yet undiscovered in the mine?

Your ears try to make sense of any sound or lack of sound. Just like your eyes see something and tell your brain what it is seeing using something familiar to you. Like when I'm driving to town and I see a black bear running on the road. I live way out in the country on the southern Oregon coast. With miles and miles and miles of forests and hills on a long curvy gravel road. When I first see the bear, the first thought is what is a black lab doing way out here. Then I realize it's a bear. Your mind expects a dog not a bear. A mind is a weird thing.

Thanks for checking out the video! Glad you enjoyed it. I always try to change up styles occasionally. Keep things interesting!

My tinnitus would be off the chart if I was down there. I cant even sit in a quiet bathroom without turning the water on to make noise.

@@nicholasr7987 Hmm, I cant stand to be in quiet rooms, never thought it could be the tinnitus that is really bugging me. Thanks for the idea!

@@nicholasr7987 I thought the same thing. I would need a radio on white noise or I would probably lose my marbles.

I was thinking the same thing.

I don’t understand. Where would carbon monoxide come from, because the propane gas is being lit up by the igniter right away, so there isn’t gas leaking.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 well I think he is talking about the gases of the fuel (propane) being burnt

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Carbon monoxide is a product of combustion of any fossil fuels. Burning the propane makes CO CO2 and H2O. The first is Carbon Monoxide, the second is Carbon Dioxide- what we exhale and the same gas that makes soda fizzy- and the third is water vapor. CO is odorless, though I can always smell the rich flame that creates it very easily. When burning propane for example, CO is produced the most with an inefficient burn. A rich yellow flame will make more than a clean blue one. However if the flame is hot enough it will start making more NOx instead. Not as big a deal. The propane itself unburnt is harmless other than suffocation by displacing the oxygen rich air. If CO were not produced just because the fuel were burnt, why would car exhaust kill people in their homes and garages? The engine would shut down if the gasoline were not burning. TLDR, be very careful burning fossil fuels including coal in enclosed spaces. That said, he was okay in this air volume and near that massive lift shaft. The heat from the flame and his body alone would convect much of it upwards where it would spread left and right like water falling up.

i was wondering that to tho i was also a lil concerned that the stove would burn up some of the oxygen in his tunnel. its been a whole year tho so i am sure bretts fine

for some reason i read vaykay as vaykak

@@Blaze_Vance6969 Happily, no kak: not with all that scrummy food he brought along! 🍳🥩🍤😋

@@rickobrien4025 huh? He's worked with plenty of folks together on projects. The American Hotel being the big one. Him partnering with a robotics team wouldn't be out of the ordinary at all - especially given how fond he is of his drones.

The majority of mines are well mapped out. The only problem being that many of the entrances and connecting tunnels are collapsed. In his time at Cerro gordo he has been slowly working around these problems creatively by finding new paths through digging or roping himself down shafts. I think a robot couldn’t make a change in this case, it just needs a lot of time and effort with Brent and Johnny!

@@rickobrien4025 that’s so far from the truth

@@eopo robots can be very small and capable. A confined space rescue robot would be able to safely get past some of the collapses

hat about the Hawaiian flowers around his neck😊😊you can't help loving Brent

Standard

Me too. Lol

Every time

Yesss!!! I was laughing so hard. Also when he kept talking about hearing a crowd of people and just kept pausing talking to listen hahahahahha

@@Glosoli4 😂

Yeah, thinking the same thing - seriously. Feel like things have been going downhill for a few months now. It's all about him now.

@@ToddDunning Spinning out of control, my husband watching and me? I can't hardly look.

Putting on some weight would probably be a good start. He looks sickly. I appreciate what he’s doing but he’s doing more than his 100 lbs can handle…

I really don't feel I'm that adventurous but thanks =)
