Gold Geology Of Subduction Zones, North Cascades, Washington State

I am old and disabled. I have been interested in Gold mining all of my life. Tried to major in Geology in college, but was dissuaded from pursuing gold because at that time gold was about $50 an ounce. I have also been an outdoorsman , hunting and fishing all of my life. Now that I can't get out anymore I appreciate you SO MUCH for taking us along on your adventures. Talk away my friend. Every word is interesting. THANK YOU

😂 it’s never “babbling.” It’s your continuous assessment of the project at hand. Or talking through questions, calculations, etc. Like your ongoing trials with flux recipes. It’s precisely why your videos are so compelling. The audience gets to learn/discover with you. Now I’m babbling…

Never stop teaching , its your talent

We love it all, Jason. Geology nerds of the world UNITE!!!

What an amazing video. From the geology lessons, native American lore, to 19th century lumbering, just wow.

I live within a stones throw of Mount Baker. I could eat up these local geology rants all day every day. Thank you for posting.

Thank you my friend. Just got back from surgery and I get another chance at life. Seeing this long form vid brought a smile to my face. Thank you

They say you learn something new every day, today I learned about a years worth. Thanks, Jason, for your babbling. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Classic arm waving geology professor field trip lecture. I love it.

There can NEVER be too much information from you, Jason. Keep up your educational ramblings ! I think you should be nominated for an Honorary Doctorate in Geology From some Higher Institution. Your popularizing of this subject deserves recognition. Greetings from Fife , Scotland !

Keep rambling Jason! I love it 👍

i love any type of videos that mix history/geography and geology/science keep these going

The history is as appealing as the present and all makes up the bigger picture.

Jason goes prospecting is the best! A whole series of these would be so cool, impressive how much knowledge you sit on. Time to find the next Mount Baker prospect

Babble away Jason! We love our great state and the geology where the shiny comes from!!!!

You sir are a great teacher. I learned so much and you kept my attention which is super rare. Keep up the great work.

Man I love these geological adventures you’re taking us on

I can attest to something about these massive cedars and blue spruce. I lived in unincorporated king county Redmond Washington & I had about 1 acre. The cedars and spruces on my property were huge. It cost me a lot of money to get an arborist to care for my trees. About 3 years after I spent all that $, we had this massive, terrifying wind storm around 2007. And some if my trees got snapped in half & a few came down. I used a home made jig, chainsaw and I turned the wood into useful boards and beams of lumber. Thousands of dollars of useful wood. And that is hours away from Jason’s filming location. You have to properly manage the forrest or it gets dry and will go up like a roman candle and burn it ALL down. You cut down trees but plant more. That’s just how it works or mother nature will burn the brush all down.

Thank you. That was the most informative geology video I have watched regarding mountain formation.

Great work as always Jason. You are a natural teacher buddy. You explain everything in an interesting way that is easy to understand. This long version of you in the field is awesome. Keep it coming Jason, we will be here waiting patiently for the next release
