    It's awesome of you to save critters😊 I like the truck lowering ending of your videos.

      Gotta keep the wildlife safe from human shenanigans. Glad you like my endings, I really enjoyed coming up with that idea.

    it's definitely an old well. The black pipe is for water to the building and the smaller one is electrical.

    • @gerikbensing

      I imagine copper scrappers would have long since taken any wires in the area, so that smaller one could easily have been an electrical conduit like you're saying.

    there is a whole-ass mystery cement bunker in the woods where i live! its kind of locally famous because its clearly a fallout bunker style room, but it was never fully completed. its built into the side of a hill and has everything except for a door and furnishings. its on public land and no one has ever figured out who made it or even when. the best guess is it was poured in the late 60's and that's just going off of people's memory of it being there. there is no indication of where it is other than people tell each other where to find it. occasionally people will camp inside it, but it will likely cave in eventually because there is no ceiling support. its literally just a large concrete box with a door and concrete piping for ventilation.

      That is amazing! I'd try to bring in some posts to try and shore up the ceiling to keep that unusual gem around for longer. I discovered an abandoned Adirondack lean-to structure not far from this site as well I'm amazed no one tries to use. It's taken a hit from a fallen tree, but wouldn't take too much to bring back to usefulness.

    It’s good to see you back! I can appreciate taking a break though. If you go exploring the area then definitely take along a camera and share it with us. As to this hole, my guess is that it was a sample well to test groundwater contamination since it’s along a cleanup site. If you get any conclusive answers in the future be sure to let us know.

    • @gerikbensing
      @gerikbensing  4 месяца назад +1

      That’s an interesting guess. It’s certainly possible. They consider this land “mine reclamation land” now and can’t really be used for anything. Funny how they moved the mess from the mines to the river and then from the river to these basins.

    All the little critters already fell down that pipe

      RIP. The lid really perfectly funneled to the deep pipe. All better now though

    Is that a septic tank

    • @gerikbensing
      @gerikbensing  4 месяца назад +1

      This much I know it is not. That’d be deeper and designed differently.

    You can knock down the knotweed by cutting a few years in a row.

    • @gerikbensing
      @gerikbensing  4 месяца назад

      We usually let it grow to 6-12” or so and then mow it down real low and repeat until they run out of energy to keep trying. There are acres of it where I was in this video and we just push back what’s in people’s way from time to time.
