A subscriber (Matt) sent me a picture of a VERY old abandoned mine that he discovered in the area, so we’re going to check it out. The structure looked great to begin with and I didn’t see any water near the entrance. I would never have guessed we would run into THIS kind of problem. This video is a little shorter than normal, but you’ll soon see why.
This is the Pruden Coal and Coke Company No. 4 mine and it dates back to 1938. There is a good chance that Matt’s grandfather worked in this mine and several others in the area. He happened to find it while out riding his side-by-side one day and sent me a picture of the portal.
I’ve always loved video editing and travel. Now I’m combining the two and hoping, one day, to make a living doing something that I love. If you like backpacking, hiking, urban exploration and/or exploration, in general… you might want to subscribe. Even if I make little to no money doing this, I’ll still do it. It’s what I like to do. If you never go, you’ll never know.

Am I first 😂
I don't think there's much you could put down over the mud to make it passable. 😮that really stinks.
Matt, I'm thankful you are up there with Jed.
Thanks for the adventure guys
This is crazy! It still freaks me the f out watching you navigate through these mines! I give you kudos for keeping going on. I just can’t believe how much of an adrenaline junkie you are!!! Love watching it through!
I would freak out!
Mud tunnel almost had ya rhwre fir a sec…. Stay safe
Right ride wrong apparel 😆 Credit to your buddy for making sure you aren't still in the mud because your stubborn ass went alone.
Is that the coal vein on the sides? If so that is surprising they chased such a small coal vein into the mountain.
Amazing find and such a hostile environment, I believe people that mined these must have had some serious courage and back strength! that mud (cement) is mental, those boots must have weighed a ton after that! safety first buddy! might need to come back here in the summer or use shuffle boards (even with these it's not safe)
Cool mine but the stupid mud had an agenda, glad you both got out safely, another great video ❤
I had a great time for sure. Both my Grandpa’s worked in the Pruden mines. That mud was no joke😂
