>>870598When I paused the video and held up my photo next to it my heart immediately started pounding and my hair stood on end. Yet it hasn't stopped me from continuing to enter other abandoned mines, I have had the restraint to avoid a couple that looked uniquely unstable, but the insane adrenaline rush from being alone deep inside of a pitch black mountain full of who the fuck knows what is too addictive, I'm sure natural selection will pick us off sooner than later.
Another extremely reckless and poor decision in a mine (not that any decisions beyond the initial decision of entering an abandoned mine could possibly be reasoned as "good"):
I've posted this picture enough times now that people are probably getting sick of it (not my photo), but the second time I visited this cavern in BC's abandoned Carolin Mine I did descend the slope all of the way to the bottom just to see what I'd find (obviously hoping for skeletons), which ended up being nothing more than a mountain of beer cans. I don't believe I used the slope visible in this photo, it was more gradual, but was still comprised entirely of loose rock. Wouldn't have been impossible to cause a small rock slide, trapping myself at the bottom of what is literally BC's version of the Mines of Moria.
