my house would be just a little rocks [Music]

yeah yeah I'm sure you have to kind of control that I can only have enough amazing stones and other such artifacts that I find that can fit on this thin windowsill after that I need to downsize things need to be replaced well it's over here yeah that's a sweet trap just hanging out

crawling through here Oh in there take it out

oh yeah this is the that's a doorway this is a living room this is the bedroom that's where you put the bait and they come in here and then when you really got them is when they climb in there to get the bait you bait the other side it's like a house you know that that's called the living room that's called I think that's called the bedroom in the bedroom if the bedroom is waiting yeah exactly yeah it's still a chance that they can crawl out the living room a small chance but the the the bedroom you absolutely got them that's a sweet trap dude this is how you get in right there pick him out punches me Flint or anything cool in there unless somebody lost the trap I think is like legit too cool

[Applause]

Wow look at this look at this HUDs not green it's blue yeah looks green but then you like it only looks green from this angle and then when you rotate it I think the green might just be like algae or something at a certain angle maybe yeah very interesting hmm

as it formed it's like it's like silt till hard it is hard to finger five I think my fingers while is five I think so I haven't I haven't really brushed up on my geology so it's soft so if I smash this it's gonna break all right it just feels like I'm cold actually

so we think this is cold no ever there's a legitimate coal vein those really cold Wow yeah I found some coal that fell off a train once nice to walk train tracks a lot mm-hmm

the ones we help pack around or on the turns and around the bumps Hey look a crab they were dropped Paul I learned that from my form I'm ma just a clock hole as a kid to heat the house through the train tracks and I used to collect coal and it's like styrofoam this absolutely no weight to it it's baffling you hold it I mean you only know you're holding it by your sensation of feeling mm-hmm and vision because there's no weight it's like the same way as air energy on your shoulders an important why not be the vein that you were looking for but I think I just absolutely found a vein of coal going through this bedrock the test of course the crumbles like it oh yeah yeah oh dude a little heavier than the stuff I found on the train track it's a little heavier than things on the train track hole I thought whoa did you see this stone over here do it are you kidding you right now the stuff has no energy or structure at all like just touch it looks like stone it's not yeah man check it out

it's a leaf exactly look off my off-mic brothers brothers board gaming me on my way

[Applause]

did I love this rubble left by the ocean it's like a piece of that stuff it's like a junkyard little amazing treasures you got here it's like plants trying to grow here yeah some of that same stuff it's like has no new energy and it's resilience very soft like talcum powder that stuff I feel like if you another trap yeah Phil key if you took like a mortar and pestle and powdered this this way crumbly stuff up it'll be like really silky there's some more that stuff over here Wow a lot of iron too oh really

okay it's a nice little nook in here oh I love coastlines there's another vein of that stuff one of this rock is good cleavage is a cool vein really interesting contours think of that channel that's so cool man it's like lava rock Wow

hello it dude very cool place [Applause]

Wow hmm

another vain huh I'll actually take a piece of this home and see if it burns in the wood stove tonight if we unemployment that's awesome take this rock Oh burn see it's a little shiny reminds me of the creosote buildup exactly what this is like the Earth's creosote buildup well it formed and it continues to form like either the mid-atlantic ridge like with a lava cools by the ocean it's like the build-up from like furnaces deepen its mind boggling that a rock can burn hotter and wood can it's like concentrated energy simply based on its composition of matter crazy huh rocks that burn that's so crazy to me I love cold man so cool so he got man how'd you find this is what I was looking forward to show you Wow do you look how dark it is yeah Wow this stuff is like liquid black picture the oh there we go there's less inclusions of other stuff it's super light yeah yeah I feel this that's nice

much lighter than the other stuff a second much higher quality picture the underground portion mmm tell us a guy that uh used to get two buckets of coal a day for us wood stove or something [Music]
