I don’t know how to pipe the link, as an advance heads up of my ignorance.

I enjoyed this video when I found it. Kinda got scared for him after he hit that rock and all his bolts started shaking out.

Fun video but man watching that gave me anxiety.

This is like those hikers that go out with a small water bottle and flip flops on a mountain trail.

I'm really glad he's upbeat and had the barest of essential tools but he could so easily have ended up stranded.

There's also no way I'd trust these old, unmaintained bridges.

LOL, yeah. That's stupid...

This dude seems super passionate so this was interesting to watch but shit, no food or water, no spare parts of anything goes wrong? Really scary

I strongly support everyone doing this.

The more people who get seriously injured using abandoned rail lines means the more likely it is that railway companies will remove them when no longer in-service to avoid liability.
