Abandoned Survival Bunker on land we just bought

- Brooke and I recently bought 5 acres in interior Alaska and on that land there is an abandoned survival cabin / Bunker. today we're all going to take a look at what was left inside!!!!
You might want to give the property a once over with a metal detector. Its possible they buried some guns. If they put them in in a large PVC pipe or mortar tube or such you might find the guns you didn't find in the cabin. Because I sure as hell wouldn't leave them unattended in a building. You never know.
👍👍
As Todd Brown would say , ABSOLUTELY
good idea
I would hit that with my detector in a second!
Hell yeah I also saw a stove pipe? Kind of weird that you didn't find a wood stove. Or gasifier?
Nothing is better than walking in the woods and finding an old building. So much mystery and intrigue
Mystery and intrigue. There’s nothing quite like exploring old places like that. I got excited just watching you guys clean it lol. Thanks for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed
Me too. 😂 Whole thing was very exciting to me. I would love to have found that on a newly purchased piece of land. That's awesome. ♥️💕🕊️
Absolutely. However a "Bunker" implies that it's underground or partially underground. This is not a bunker at all. It's more of a hunting shack or a wilderness shelter for when the previous owner(s) were doing work on the land. Something that was slapped together relatively quickly. Built around that stove.
@@doejon9424 OK then. couldn't just enjoy it huh? LOL
This happens to me all the time when I buy an old vintage trailer. Many times the treasures are worth more than the trailer is. I once found $1500 in cash in an envelope back behind the stove in an old trailer. You just never know. $11k for 5 acres? That's a steal. Ya done good.
You summed it up perfectly with words of broken dreams. I have come across many places that reflected broken dreams as I have hunted and explored remote areas of Canada and Appalachia. I wondered about the people and hoped they found their way. Thanx for sharing. God bless.🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking us along. Enjoyed exploring the bunker with you and Brooke.
My wife and I just returned from the UP, having spent the better part of two months clearing the land we purchased in the Ottawa NF. During the pandemic we built a shed in the back yard based on your design, a dry run for things to come, God willing.. Great vid as always, you guys rock.
That is awesome. Good luck on the place. Thanks
We did the same thing. Ours is south of Munising, hoping to finish soon. 👍👍✌️
@Clint B we're in the Hiawatha National Forrest area of Munising. We paid a bit more than in other places, but we got what we wanted/need. 👍👍✌️
@@gary8033 Yea. Last time I looked land in the U.P. was not what I would call cheap.
@@jmsfabrication7821 yeah, I'm actually embarrassed by the amount I paid. But, it's right next door to our daughter's place, it's just the perfect situation. It's also in the Hiawatha National Forest. I keep telling myself...at least for now, it's worth it...
My kids and I love watching your videos!
We have some small properties and have cleared them one will get a family built building . Thanks for all you ideas and videos!
Now this is what I think is fun!! Some people like going out to bars to drink and others clothes shopping at a mall but this type of rummage hunt is so damn exciting to me! I’m so jealous! 😂
I feel the same
LOL right on
why not all of the above?
You should work in the storage industry like me. This is my everyday stuff getting left behind.WARNING is not a job if you are inclined to be a hoarder!!
I love exploring old houses and stuff you just never know what you would find. Love yalls channels.
Great video!! We bought a town lot property that was covered in old broken structures and trash. It cost $10k in dump fees to haul it all away. We sold it and doubled our money. The neighbors were happy to have it cleaned up and ended up buying it from our buyer to keep clear for the children to play.
awesome
Y’all are living the dream!
My wife and I bought 9 acres in the cascade mountains last year and are slowly building our dream as well.
Many blessings y’all
@@Jj-gi2uv 100% correct!! I was born and raised here so in my eyes there’s nothing better!
Do u need to pay property taxes with or without a house on your land?
Glad you got such a good deal on the land. I can't wait to see you build on it.
Thanks
tip the open containers so it won't breed insects
move the crap from inside to outside to continue rotting, creating a clear floor space inside.. the walls still look solid with only the roof caving in.
Can't wait to see what you guys do with the place, thanks for always making great videos!
Thanks for watching!
I hope you've kept this place quite.
I reacon it would make a great weekender after some TLC.
I was introduced to a survivalist who lived in a suburb of Albany, NY. I was shown his "fortified" basement where he had everything his family needed to live during the apocalypse. It was very impressive. That was 50 years ago???
Small world
You guys make me smile ! By the way, I watched that ALONE "roundup" and they did feature a checker's game but not anything about Brook's effort in Mongolia (oh well). And so.... A 12/12 Truss roof over that cynderblock structure. Even with small scale tree stock (like an ALONE structure). Then either 6 ml ~ or better 10 ml, high carbon, greenhouse grade plastic. (I hope you haven't just "knocked down" your bunker.). The Bunker probably is fairly bear proof. ~~~ My "Tarp Mahal" (the neighbor calls it that) is 24/32 feet with a 18 foot peak, 10 foot ceiling truss with gambrel roof and girts made from political sign wire (lots of that here in New Hampshire). One inch /10' conduit with "fixtures." Then the whole thing is covered with 6 ml plastic made in Israel via a distributor in Cleveland. Cost was $500.00. 20 years so far with one roof layer added 8 years ago. Takes a two foot wet snow load. Anyway I pray you keep the "Bunker" and add to it. Best wishes ~ always.
Wow, thanks for sharing the adventure! There was lots of stuff in the little shack & lots of garbage now! Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Thank you! You too!
I think the most valuable thing you found in that cabin was data. For example, will a sealed jar of peanuts last a really long time if I put them in a plastic bin? The answer is yes, as long as they stay sealed, they will outlast the building they are in. Does mouth wash that is sealed ever go bad? Not for many many years. Finding what will survive though the end of the world and what you have to keep always rotated and replaced is very valuable...though an old lever gun would had been cool to find, ha.
absolutely plus the structure seems sound, put a metal roof on it and use it for storage of preps and a fall back shelter.
I guarantee the peanut oil all went rancid and they will taste like garbage
@@BrianKrahmer Depending on how old it is. I am conditioned to be able to eat rancid things so I would be fine, but I can see why that would be a consern. Always have to be careful with things that have a lot of oils or surgars.
@@BrianKrahmer Nah, Peanut oil comes from crushing and boiling peanuts into absolutely nothing but liquid and as long as it is stored in a cool dry place literally never goes back. Storing it in a plastic container in the shade that never gets any sun, IN ALASKA I guarantee that it never got above 40 degrees, it's still good.
I was watching to see what you two would find. Later I thought about what you did not find. A wood stove yes but a woodpile, no. I liked the cement cubby holes. This was a great idea. Tang--I am old enough at 70+ to remember Tang going to outer space. Brooke a lot of mouth rinse has alcohol in it. No wonder you didn't keel over after the swig. You and Dave are AMAZING. Thank you for sharing your adventure!
Dave. Love your stuff. You are just a guy that I bet everyone liked when you were growing up. Smart and efficient. I am a big fan!
JACKPOT !!!
I'd feel extremely blessed to find that and all the goodies.
Learn what worked to preserve stuff and keep it safe and what didn't.
Lots of fuel for big bon fire, and I would absolutely install new roof and use that cabin.
Awesome buy !!!!!!
Y'all are soooo blessed! I wish we could afford some property like that for my family. Tell Brooke I love that she prays on camera before meals. A family that prays together stays together! Sending love from East Texas! ❤️
Fun! And scary
All I could think was Dude-gloves!!!
That was too much fun! Brooke takes the bravery prize, for sure...
Even if there wasn't any actual "treasure", it was a great find, and what an adventure anticipating finding who-knows-what. Thanks for letting us all watch! :-D
they have a summer cabin with maybe 100hrs of work
Yeah, no kidding my lips would not have touched that mouth wash 🤮
Since its antiseptic, the alcohol would prevent the presence of bacteria or anything harmful, at worst she'd just get a bit of dust on her lips. And given how good the condition of the food was in, it shouldn't have been too much time ( over 3+ years )@@rickwaldo4150
You always make your videos so down to earth but with that air if expectation and whether you find something or not one is is never disappointed. Simply filled with hope for the next adventure with you both. Thankyou Dave and Brooke much love and blessings from AuskiHeth Down Under in Aussie 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👏✌️👍😃🇺🇲
Happy to see your back , great find , I know y'all will make this a beautiful place.
Thanks
Excited to see your next adventure! God Bless the both of you! 🙏🤗🙏
That was like a treasure hunt (maybe a stinky one at times) but none the less, a treasure hunt. Love the property and can't wait to see what you and Brooke do with it. Love both of y'alls videos!
Finding a strange bunker on my property would honestly freak me out at first. It definitely has a ominous vibe! Thank goodness that place was being used for its intended purpose and not something evil. Love your guys content!
It was so nice to see you both in a video again, I miss both your videos! 💗
Love it! My Dad, brother and I rented this old cabin just south of Moorestown, Michigan for deer season one year. The hitch was we had to clean it out to get it functional. It was full of old goodies. Only way better condition than your new cabin, lol.
Good morning Dave! So glad to see you, and Brooke making videos. The work you put into, and all that you do is over the top! Thanks for your Alaska road trips, and the way you guys make your videos!👍😊You are a Superb Video Presenter! Great work...
Cool find! Definitely items that can be recovered and utilized for sure! Nothing goes to waste if it's functional / serviceable! Thanks for sharing guys! Be safe out there!
I'll say this.. the sides look good, perhaps if you remove the junk, you can dig down, make cold storage, and put in flooring and a roof. Insulation of course... I'll bet it would make a good storage unit for the stuff that won't fit in your new house... Thinking positive on this! Can't wait to see what you build!
maybe
thought so too. i mean the roof collapsed shure but the walls withstand the weather pretty well all those years and seems pretty thick and sturdy. guess with a solid new roof this could be again a shelter for emergencys.
Dave, you can still do something really cool with that building. I see a ton of potential in it!!
Just watched season 4 of alone the first time with my girlfriend. I knew I recognized you from somewhere.
You and Brooke are rockstars, very few women would show no fear alone with a wolf, and very few men these days could do the hike you did. Very impressive hope all is well
She is my hero! Bottoms up for Listerine.
Very cool.
Is there any chance that there might be an underground storage area?
Who in their right mind would build a flat roof in Alaska using 2x4 as roof joists?
How awesome this is!!! We someday hope to have a experience like you two
Fascinating ! Incredible that you can buy such a piece of land. Here in Belgium impossible beacuse it is densely populated. Wish we had more space.
Thanks for the video !
I respect that you find value in things common people see as junk. Thanks for the video! Keep em coming!
Seriously -- so few do that any more!
Yay! New project! Your project videos are the best. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Congratulations. 😎🥰
5 acres for the price of a used Camry...that's amazing. Well done!
Within a few hours drive from where I live in Australia, despite copious amounts of land, 5 acres would be $200k+ easily (and that's for the bottom of the barrel). It definitely puts up a big hurdle to doing what you and Brooke do - so I just live vicariously :)
Yeah but alaska is not a safe place like there.
@@dougmcdougal3777 Australia.....a safe place? You obviously haven't been here then hahaha. Nearly everything wants to eat you or bite you? It's hot ASF in summer (it's nice right at the moment)
But yeah what the first guy says stands true. $200K plus
@@Jarmezrocks .......Im refering to gun crime and the idea that there is a serial killer on every corner in alaska. Highway of tears ring any bells smart guy. Id rather live along side dangerous wild animals than along side some disgusting sicko with guns when there is no one around to call for help.
The main downside to remote property in Alaska is it can be inaccessible due to snow half of the year. I also imagine getting any power lines run to your property would be difficult to impossible. :)
@@Jarmezrocks what are you saying everything what's to eat or bite us. Crocodiles spiders and snakes. Sharks in the water. No lions or tigers moose wolves
Pumas leopards
Wolves. Are you an Aussie like me. That lives here.
Looking forward to see what you'll do with the property. Old shed included.
There was lots of possibilities I was anticipating to come out of that cabin but minty fresh breath was not one of them!
Dave, you are a gifted story teller, and narrator!
Thanks
YAY!!! Does this mean we get to see another cabin build?....please say yes.
It's a wonderful change to see a couple that works hard for what they have. You're a beautiful couple
Thank you much!
The hubs and I are currently watching you and your lovely wife on season 4 of alone and my notifications alert me to your video.. the show gets paused as I holler out "hey honey, Dave just dropped a new video!" We were not disappointed. Congrats on the new property, we can't wait to see what you two come up with next. :)
Duuuude. You are out-competing with... yourself? You need to check for old crimes in case this guy was a unibomber or something.
LOL
thanks!
Love watching every video. I to have built a cabin 10 years ago that my wife and I still live in.
Wish we had land like that in Australia! Great find and can't wait to see what you do with it!!
Excited to see myself 🙂
I can't wait for the out come of this new property... Thanks for sharing your new adventure. God bless
Thanks
Love everything you guys do!!! You have inspired me to make major changes in my life. Bought a small HUD-Son Sawyer bandmill,2 old garden tractors (Allis Chalmers B,C) prompted by your Alaska log cabin video. Most importantly saving money to buy bare land (after watching cabin video build behind your house in Michigan) . When looked in the camera and told the story about the guy at the Fairbanks dump with no lower extremities. I knew right then that was no excuse!! I can do it, and am learning as I go. Thanks Dave for being an inspiration (life changing)! Your Awesome Dude!!!
Thanks, I appreciate what you're doing. Good luck with the tractors and the mill
They've inspired me as well. 🙏💜
Awesome!
To quote Lars..."SUPER AWESOME!"
I would really like to know the publication dates of the magazines, the expiration dates on the food and the book titles found inside. 🤗👍🥳
I'll be releasing a new video showing that soon
Favourite channel for off grid living.
Watching from my hammock that i just hung today. Monsoon going on outside. Northern AZ tiny cabin living. Cool video
right on! I was in northern AZ last year!
Always fun rooting through old findings.
I hope y’all fix it up some way. A piece of history of your land. How neat.
Looking forward to see what you decide to do with this property :) . What a fun/dirty day of work!
Thanks Dave. I enjoy the treasure hunt I hope you have time to dig a little deeper. and who knows you might get it cleaned out before you know it. I really dig your vids. Thanks for sharing!!
Would love to see you clean it out and fix it up with a new roof, flooring, shelving, etc to make it a modern bug-out shelter. Sounds like a future video, doesn't it?
seconded
Really appreciate you saying the price you bought it for.
Its nice for other people who think of doing things like this, and also see how prices varies from place to place.
Very cool video. Fun to watch you explore and makes me want to buy cheap land where you don't have to pay taxes! We loved watching you build a structure on your land in Michigan!
Awesome! Let’s see if you can frame a roof on it if it ever gets cleaned out.
Thank you both for the video.
The log cabin I built 50 years ago back in the woods in northern Minnesota had the same stuff in it. Of course, I put a decent roof on it, so it is still standing. The property is now owned by a friend of mine who lives on it in his own cabin. He uses my caold bin for storage.
Thanks for another adventure! Always enjoy watching you all go thru the yuck. Hope you find something good in there. God bless you both.
Totally cool! That property has endless potential.
Just finished watching Brooke's video, and watched your version. Wow, just glad RUclips doesn't come with "smell-o-vision". Can only imagine what some of the "soup" filled totes smell like...😳
Safe travels! 👍👍✌️
Dude!!! That is cool. You know how I love digging through old crap. You just never know what you will find. Bummer you didn't find anything super cool. Have fun buddy!!!
Awesome. Love surprises like that. Very good price for the land. Congratulations!
I bet there were some classic Playboy mags in that rotten stack..lol..Best of luck guys with this new property, God bless
I'm very glad a came across your channel, very interesting, thank you.
My goodness I can't wait to see what u guys build here. Alaska must be incredible
You guys crack me up. Cool find.
Cool score! I bought 6 acres that was so grown up we found an 18 wheeler trailer and a 25' camper on it.
This is a fantastic find you can utilize ✅
You should wrap those concrete walls with a thick foam board and lean a single plane roof to the South and add some southern exposed glass or lexan and have a small greenhouse along with the thermal Mass from all the concrete. Shutter the small bank of windows with rigid 3" or 4" thick foam board, opening it only when the sun is warming it up. Perhaps the new roof could extend far enough to keep the soil next to the house dry. With the proper insulation wrap you should be able to hold onto your heat much longer with an arrangement like that.
Hi Dave and Brooke, awwww I was hoping you'd find something really kool. Altho I did like the base of that oil lamp, and the little stoves. Can't wait to see what your going to build on this property. Love ya guys💗
Another great video, Dave. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this place!!
Great video, thanks, Dave!
You just never know what is still hiding in that old building until it's all cleaned up. Look on the bright side, it has to be cleaned anyway. Sorry I don't get to watch ya'll as much lately. I packed up the whole famdamily and we moved to Idaho, lots of work restoring an old house and other fun stuff.
Oh! sounds like an adventure for sure, Idaho is an awesome state.
I LOVE old abandoned buildings, this would have been So fun for me!
Sweet property. Thank you for the video God Bless .
Our pleasure!
Loved watching the treasure hunt and I think you guys did great with that find !!!
Congratulations on the new property, looking forward to seeing your future projects there :)
I very much liked this. You guys are a perfect team and have a great time and idea. Peace out bro... and thanks for the time it takes to conceptualize, create, edit and UL these for me to lament my Thailand as a retirement choice... :)
Wish you would have found more treasures..or any treasures, Lol! But looks like a nice piece of property. Can’t wait to see one of your beautiful cabin builds on the site!
Brilliant purchase and great video.
Well, not so much treasure to be had but, as you said Dave Whipple, what you found was a broken dream. That bunker must have been a frozen nightmare in winter!!😫🥶😱 Thanks for tour! Stay safe, be well and see ya next time👋👋
You and Brooke sure find interesting stuff.
Take care
Yep yep survival bunker faraday cage haha!! The land is beautiful from what I could see from the too of you's video Enjoy you guy's love all the video's 🤗👍❤🇺🇸
Thanks man, I can't wait for my next pioneering adventure! ...It will be Radical
That will still be a perfect generator and fuel shed with a new pitched roof. If it's still filthy hose it down with the enamel paint . Paint makes everything new !
I love finding stuff like this, I can spend all day going through old stuff. I call it "going for a pig root"
Treasure 🥰You know what they say about one man’s trash! 🥹😅😃💬🌩🙈♥️Great land and the skies are the limit Good one Dave and Brooke
You guys just have the most fun!
I love your adventures and am excited to see what you two build on that piece of property!
Hey good to see you guys again Too bad about not finding treasure in the bunker but at least you bought a treasure the bunker was in. Stay safe God bless.👍🏻💪🏻🙏💯
