Gotta admire the tale about the men trapped inside the mine. It wasn't "Ohmigod, we're trapped, whatever are we going to do?" Nope, it was all about, "Grab a pick and shovel, boys - it's time to unass the area."
I enjoy this guy's channel. A real gentleman, most of his content is about medieval times, castles and life back in those days.
