- We found this abandoned fake mystery military compound in the middle of nowhere Nevada. It's some type of military mock up town, complete with buggies and more! But it was completely deserted and empty!
#Abandoned #Exploring #ExploreWithUs
I know this place. Back in 2004 prior to one of my deployments to Iraq we trained at this location. As I recall we primarily practiced air assault operations here. I was a reconnaissance Marine at the time however I remember other branches conducting joint operations with us including an army SF team but I forget the specific Unit. The "missions" practiced here were small scale ( platoon size) stuff using 3 helicopters focused on night ops. I'm about 90% sure that this is the same place.
I wondered if this was used Before the Ben Lauden Raid. But it looks like an Al Quida Or ISIS COMPOUND.
@Delphinium Flower Elvis is alive too
I was thinking this also
Thank you for your service.
thanks for the service and info !
Looks like a great place for some paintball
BlackBart La Borro I was thinking the same thing but for airsoft
I was thinking the same thing lol
Lol true
Ikr. Was thinking the same thing. LoL
You found a bloke in there playing the bongos 😂
For years, the US Army & Marines trained for a European "big war" against the Soviet Union, but very few units were trained up on urban warfare or "MOUT"-- "Military Operations in Urban Terrain".It's difficult because of the 3-dimension firefight environment, and expensive because to train well, you basically need to build mock-up cities. But when we started the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, we needed to train people how to operate in the small villages that dot the landscape over there.
Hasty mock-up villages like these were budgeted and built all over. Many are container units that have been painted or plastered to look somewhat realistic. They're designed to be simple and not too cluttered, since the principles of urban combat movement and room-clearing can be applied universally once learned. Simple furniture can be brought and set up if needed.
A lot of times, units will have "role players" with costumes on pretending to be "civilians on the battlefield" for "shoot/don't-shoot" scenarios. Costumes can be elaborate (full Arabic gear) or hasty (one team turns their uniform shirts inside-out). Training units learn how to clear a room, establish security, and may also learn how to process captured personnel or materiel.
And, oh yeah-- there may be bullet casings but no bullet holes because the soldiers are firing blanks through a system called MILES-- Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System. It's basically Army laser tag.
CF Arik ("Coyote") Grant, Thank you for the info. :-)
Interesting
you scared the shit out of me with that music... i'm like oh hey rabbit and then the music hit and i almost died.
Sorry about that lol, that Jack Rabbit scared the crap outta me too! :-D
Really liked the music though
It's a training camp for urban assault
Yeah, something like that.
To be more specific it's a training camp for terrorist in America.
looks like it hit the nail on the head
architecture is almost definitely that of afghanistan village compounds.
Targets for aircraft strafing or bombing are on live fire ranges. You can't get near those too much security.
When the Navy Seals started training for the Bin Laden raid i saw them talking about they had a house made just like the one he was in. They even said they knew exactly how many stairs were there to go up. Maybe this is something like that . maybe maybe not
it does look like it but it was way way bigger than that
we do alot of training exercises in the military and we have a ton of the mock up towns around its part of training.
Looks like it lacks the detail I assume the Bin Laden mock up would have had. This looks more likely to be for Air to Ground bombing practice, A10 strafing runs etc.
Jezza NZ the mock village that osama bin laden was in, is on an islandnoff the coast of california. Its called san clemente island, look it up on google earth, they have a a HUGE mock town.
John Doyle - Wow - I looked it up. Very interesting information and I thank you for sharing that.
Great job as always! You may not realize the amazing service you provide for those of us who are crippled and unable to venture out too far. Thank you and may God bless you and keep you safe.
Thank you j.d. di giusto! You made my night, I really appreciate your comment.
Have to be a little careful in places like this. I own property in a place like this in Northern Arizona. There are no fences no signs of any kind. Just roads. But it is private property that was subdivided decades ago and was to be developed. Only they found out how hard it would be to get water out there and stopped the venture back in the 50's 60's . I bought some of the land and while exploring it I found the old rebar stakes that had been driven in the ground decades ago. This rebar sticks up about 2 or 3 inches and they are everywhere since it was going to be a housing subdivision at one time. But the rebar will definitely give you a flat tire. And there is no cell phone reception out there. There are also a few strange people who live scattered across the area in campers. I say strange people because they are very very unfriendly looking. I guess they know where to drive because they definitely know how to avoid those rebar property stakes. So just be careful going on un known land. And I sure wouldn't take my daughter out there. And carry a emergency locator beacon, and plenty of firepower just to be safe if you dont know the people.
Wise words.
Wow! really? Such a friendly place the USA :-/
You may be right about the facility but I am pretty sure ol' Smokin Bill Knows what he's talking about as far as the lay of the land and general common sense about the area.
+drummerfella 55 yes the place in this video is very recently built. I was just speaking in general terms about going in to unknown property.
How much is the land selling for?
I have to stop watching your vids while I work, I get absolutely nothing done lol! Great vid guys!!
Military or private security training facility. Or where the CIA films beheadings disguised as ISIS, but most probably an old movie or tv show set.
Yeah, invisible active radar and military vehicles. They run on invisible gas from the fake pumps.

ISIS secret training base
Walt and Jesse are probably hiding somewhere in that desert in their RV cooking.
Who else his heart is beating hard when you saw the rabbit?
I'm in the military and we have training villages like this all over the desert, they are called MOCK training sites. I'm assuming you live in Nevada/Utah area where the government has a lot of these to get the soldiers to understand what it's like to be in the middle east. The government did stuff like this in Louisiana and Florida back in Vietnam era. It just allows the military to get a better concept of the environment's they are going to. I know it doesn't have any signs but just be careful because their could be possible mortar shells or bomblettes around, that's the whole reason they are out in the middle of nowhere.
good place for a homeless person or a good party
homeless person? LOL, just abandoned him out in the middle of the fucking desert hahahahhahaah
Well if you were homeless but with food and water and you needed a place to stay for a little while
Jack Handy it would cost a lot of money for enough food, what about electric too keep it good, what about getting out too that place and back, it wouldn't work haha
I think a homeless person will be disturbed there more than in a city i guess. Every car that passes by there will stop and snoop around in those "buildings".
but if i ever need a place to stay i know its there
Looks like a training mock up for an urban battle zone abroad?
By abroad I meant that the mock up was of a urban zone you would find abroad, like Afghanistan etc..
Exactly!
true
Similar to Fibua but this is a real-world mock up for a training strike. How far from 'nowhere' was this.? It's not 'wierd' at all.
find out where the closest military facility is and all your questions will be answered
I forgot to mention find out what type military facility it is what type of units are in it
it's black ops training.
It's a Naval Air Station.
Right! I think he knows exactly what that place is he just pretended not to know for "suspense" of the video....He zoomed right in on a motor pool with military tanks and 5 tons right in it! lol.
he's not pretending he says multiple times that it's a mock up
yes mock up middle eastern city.military builds this for training
I live in an area where, if you drive a paved highway north, you end up in the middle of nowhere. Once out there in the middle of nowhere within the space of a week a gas station type of convenience store appeared. It had older style gas pumps, and it looked aged, as if it had been there 50 years. It was a trip!!! And it was just right off the side of the paved road. Turns out, it was a movie set built for Terminator 4. After filming, it was quickly removed and everything was made to look as if it were never there.
That stuff you are showing there isn't full of bullet holes.....yet. It may be some sort of training ground, or a future movie set.
That sounds like it would be awesome to come across! Did you get any photos of it?
No, but it did show up in the T4 movie. It never occurred to me to take photos. I was too busy freeking out at the sudden appearance of an old convenience store in the middle of nowhere, about 15- 20 miles north of Stanley NM on Hwy 41. that wasn't there a week before. I learned by chance that it was for T4 because I became an extra on T4 and got to learn about it through one of the set builders. If you feel brave, go back to the town in your video in about 6 months. See if it is still there, or if it is full of bullet holes, damage etc. that would give a clue as to what it is. Or go at night with a black light. See what it reveals.
I guess I would have been freaked out too! That sounds really awesome though. I am in that part of the state all the time, so I will definitely go back and check it out again.
And now look what you have done: Ye have started a firestorm of speculation!! The internet loves a mystery. Soon you will have over a million hits. Then Mulder and Scully will be paying you a visit, asking to view your original film, and you will have to explain why 15 minutes are missing according to the time stamp, yet the continuity of the film shows nothing is missing. By the end of their interogation, Mulder will be convinced that you were "Probed" and also know the whereabouts of his sister. :)
no
WOW!! You guys really got my adrenaline going, especially when you played that music. I kept thinking, "Run!!" Thank you for sharing this unexpected find in the desert.
Thank you. :-)
+Explore With Us VERY INTERESTING, THANKS GREAT VIDEO 👍
Yeah we use those for training. The military spends most of its time larping.
its kinda hard to do the real thing if you havent larped it for 1000 hours first
This place is a military checkpoint....I saw those buildings in the Erg desert between Lybia and Egypt
“ I think we should go I don’t think we should stay for long” and then he walks back in and keeps looking
That's at the Marine base in 29 Palms Ca. I know because I worked their and they actually had a much larger city where they train.
Wrong it one from binladin I know people who helped with it
It was revealed after the fact due to the nature of it
cool place , I would live off grid there.
Oh yea definitely man
When so you can randomly be "raided" during a training session? HAHAHA
yea . LOL
This video popped up in my suggested videos. Very cool. Hit the Like and Sub buttons.
Thank you for the support.
hey, I think your videos are great! I just don't know what other people complain about. I was living out in Las Vegas for 5 months back in 2008 and my buddy Mark and I were exploring road to Pahrump driving through a canyon and found the entrance to Mount Potosi. On the valley floor trail was a 1964 Jetstar 88 that was rusted out and it's neat finding old stuff especially that old silver mine. we found it late in the afternoon and we were just wearing hiking shoes and shorts and not even thinking about rattlesnakes and scorpions, black widows, and other venomous creatures we were trespassing around, but we had fun that's what it means. We drove by I think two houses people were living in, nice little hillside ranches and they had their own wells, few watchful dogs and we didn't harass them or ask questions or anything we just slowly passed w/very minimal dust and they're living out there for a reason- they want space and they did not have any no trespassing signs because it's a public right-of-way. We found fossilized sea shells in rocks we broke open! You can't find that walking down the sidewalk in a city street.
Thank you. :-)
It's also new. No rust or weathering or obvious signs of age. It's clean. That was just recently constructed. It's definitely a military or government training mock up.
would be cool if this turned out to be a mock-up of Bin Ladins complex that the Seals setup to plan his capture/execution
this is a training compound for a specific house a specific group was or already hit.
wait, is that 29 Palms...
Nope.
close to it
The rabbit had me laughing 😂!!
At a guess government property used for training troops for combat in the middle east.
Not hardly, this is a training site near White Sands, USAF owned, these idiots just got lucky that they weren't caught by SFS for trespassing on government property. They were also lucky in that there was no live fire exercise scheduled while they wandered around witless and stupid.
+redknight1322 Spoken like a good little sheep.
Our tax money at work. "You guys build a mock town we need it to look good right down to the red roof on Howard Johonson's out house..."
You know how hard/costly it would be to fence off large swaths of the desert? Area 51 doesnt even have a perimeter fence, they use the terrain as a barrier. Guarantee, they were both being watched, and determined to not be a threat, so no MPs showed up
Notice at 6 (and several other points) there is darker plaster around the doorknob and hinges. It a training facility for the military
This is a training place for soldiers.
well, not actual u.s soldiers, but subcontractors, paramilitary members and the like.
wouldn't think ISIS, if they're planning on hitting cities, towns in US and Europe, why would they train in Afghani/Iraqi village style housing
+JFK64 Kennedy afghani is afghan money
Joel Ceniceros Ceniceros dictionary.com:1. Also, Afghani. a native or inhabitant of Afghanistan. 2.
when guys that were exceptional at their job came home from afgan or iraq they would be stationed in Kali or near Vegas, use places like this to train pogs, new recruits, that would be sent to afgan or iraq in order to learn to stay alive. the vets would be the bad guys. if you are near a fence you know to stay out of then you are probably on Government land.
this place is probably a set up for people that play with paint ball guns or more likely airsoft guns. it probably hasn't been used yet
go look up some airsoft videos you'll see the set ups are quite similar
If it was a paintball site you'd see all sorts of splat marks on the walls. Same applies if they were using SIMs type rounds with real weapons. Didn't see any spent brass inside or outside, but they typically have to police ALL that up along with spent smoke grenades, etc., before they're allowed to clear a training site.
That's why I said it probably hasn't been used
If they policed the place like they're supposed to, it might look that nice, but someone usually breaks a window shutter or door during training. Most MOUT sites also have openings in walls, which are covered with plywood, so they can practice breaching using explosives, without really damaging the buildings themselves.
I don't think so, not with a spent shell casing on the ground
Maybe it's an abandon movie set!
yup
Air softers!
yes
Thanks Pat. Have a good one!
This is where he practices those movie stuns.
The Mojave Mini storage .
Who knows? It's an abandoned movie set, or a special training camp for Mercenaries? Private training camp for wannabe tactical squad? Could be all of the above.
Sh** minecraft is real!?
PS watch out for creepers.
Abandoned Desert Village
Joss Ambrose oh lol im dead 😂
Wait for it ...... brrrrrrtttt A10 watching you boy lmao .the last outpost ?
yeah that was the other thought I had . a fifty cal will pass thru those walls no worries
You can shoot a .50 cal with a bow? ;-)
i was thinking more of a c130 super Hercules stopping by nothing special
you can but not as effective
might need to put a notch in it
That was Osama Bin Laden's compound!
I thought so too .
God bless
Wyr
do you guys know what year this is? this place was built this year. obammys compound incident was YEARS ago. its just fake buildings to train in.
+Davidautofull No! It's my future bug out hideout....
American Outlawz Very true! It would be ideal.
+American Outlawz He didn't say, but it doesn't look as if it's in Iowa.
Actually, it was a movie set. It was used for a couple of scenes from "Men Who Stare A Goats". Because they couldn't film in Afghanistan, they filmed here& CGI'd the background.
It is a mock up village they use to train troops before they go to war. There are several places like this. My husband used to be a supervisor of this type of stuff and he would have actual Middle Easterners play the actors for the soldiers. The tallest ones would be used as the Mosque.
Thank you for the information. :-)
This would be used as a rehearsal area for some type of special operations teams like Marine Recon, S.E.A.L.S or delta. I was a Force Recon Marine and have train on many sites like this. Most of the time the Military trains on mock cities/towns to practice General urban maneuvers and M.O.U.T. But usually they are just random buildings built and laid out in no particular way. However this site looks like it was built to a pretty specific lay out, so that it would match exactly the distance between buildings & walls & roads..etc.etc. When an elite unit has a High importance mission that needs to be very precise, they will build an "exact replica" mock up to practice on. And I mean exact, like...down to the feet and inches from one structure to another. And you will do dry runs until you could everything blindfolded. For instance when SEAL Team 6 raided and killed bin laden, I guarantee they had a replica of his compound built and they ran dry runs for days before they set out to go hit the real target. These places improve efficiency and safety of risk emissions.
Thanks for the info. :-)
This would be a Crystal Meth Lab, from FBI.
Or the CIA
Looks like a place used to train people for close quarters urban combat or something like that.
The US Army has training spots like this in Death Valley for "pre-deployment" training & tactical training for the middle east...to get accustomed to ..1) the hot environment [especially with gear...and how you will sweat/dehydrate] & 2) the change in the housing between how we live here in the US with our "convenience" housing/building...and the lack of the same over there [middle east, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Egypt...etc] & how to get accustomed & train for the change in clearing the housing/building layouts, lookout spots ABOVE buildings...and how even tho' the buildings may look abandoned they can be soldier ambush traps.
Bin Laden mockup where they found him.
I agree....looks very much like the compound in Pakistan
Da fuq? lol, no!
I was thinking the same
and all the homeless vets we have they build and abandon these buildings
What do these things have to do with each other? These mock towns are used over and over in military training exercises. They aren't built for a single exercise then just abandoned.
Mission Security training camp, teaching soldiers to approach and speak to Afghani locals
It could be a testing sight.
It's not there for nothing, it was built for a purpose. they just happen to be there at the right time, when it's empty serving no purspose .Anyone driven out because of war would be happy to find this empty building. Looks like American troops must of set this up for their own safety. a small military compound.
This was a movie set or is still a movie set. The military would build the same kind of thing for training exercises but they would not be likely to put the decorative stuff on the outside such as the fake brick, the parging, and other stuff for visual effect.
desart where what country state ? looks like the osama ben lauden mock up compound
That's exactly what I was thinking!
me too
+Cutchdog GW1
Right? lol
Looks nothing like it.
But You guys are cute. 😆😘
Probably, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texshush, or Killa Cali in the Mohave or some sht.
Cutchdog GW1 What is paranoid about noting that a picture bares a passing resemblance to something?
Yes it is a mock up village Afghan..they use these for training..only reason I know is because my brother told me looking over my shoulder ..
To fake news stories
A mock up of OBL's compound in Pakistan?...Movie Set or Special Ops...
I agree with you completely ....
That's exactly what I thought of: paint ball, airsoft combat town! During training at Camp Pendleton' (ITS)- use to conduct guerilla ft warfare. Awesome video beautiful scenery
I was gonna say looks like the kind of place they let troops learn how to deal with indigenous people during war
I do enjoy watching your videos as you get to some interesting places theat are so different from hrer in the UK. we dont have deserts.I am, however, a little surprised at the discussion that has been going on over trespass.
I thought that America was supposed to be a land of the free but so many seems to be paranoid, looking over their shoulder in in case the law zooms in. I can understand it to some extent having seen some of the responses of police on youtube, but I thought (or hoped) that such things were a rarity. Am I wrong?
Of course there is always the chance you might encounter a thug or weirdo, but you could do that in your own area.
Here in the UK there are trespass laws but they seem to be very different for me the ones over there. you have right to wander and there are ancent footpaths, all over the place a cross private land. you are perfectly free to follow the path. If you do wander across land that has not got a path, or you wander off the path, the owner can only ask you to get back on the path or leave his property.
The police would not get involved tresspass unless a crime was committed and even then it would not be a big deal, unless the crime was serious.
There are some restricted military areas but they tend to have fences and warning signs. The claim is usually it's for your safty as there may be gun firing.
You have got all that land around and people seem so afraid to step on in case you trespass what harm could you do walking a cross the desert. Perhaps they are afraid you will leave footprints and they will send you the bill when the owner has to bring in his cleaning lady to wipe them away!
Your post is spot on, and I have pinned it to the top due to the fact that you do a very good job of pointing out the problem with most of these comments. Most of the people spewing nonsense about trespassing have no idea what they are talking about. Each state has their own trespassing laws, but they are usually very sensible, and are for the most part considered to be a minor crime if committed. What is even more interesting is the fact that US citizens have so little knowledge of public land, and the buildings located on private land.
Where this video was filmed, the law states that owners of private property have to either post of fence in the land for it to be considered trespassing. That means if the land is not fenced or posted with signage, you are not trespassing (unless the owner has told you to leave or not trespass). So it's very easy to ensure you are not trespassing.
It seems many people, as you correctly pointed out, are too afraid to enjoy their outdoors, so they don't want anyone else to either. This is why I think they like to say silly things about trespassing. They hate seeing others out enjoying their lives while they are afraid to do it themselves. At least that is how I see it. What do you think?
Stay safe out there Beto, and if you stick to public land, depending where you reside, you should be fine. :-)
Hopefully, Beto, they were not really trying too hard to shoot you. Maybe they just wanted to scare you away. You have a point about some of the land owners being unconcerned with actual law. It was pretty bad sometimes in Texas when the ranchers got cranky.
Explore With Us this looks just like the Mach up of the place in Iran where they killed osama bin Ladin. In the interview with the guy that claims he took the shot this looks just like it! Good find!
SaulTinker Gaming - *Pakistan. But I was thinking the exact same thing! I read the long form interview / story "the shooter" participated in (I think it was for Vanity Fair?) where he described the compound, walking up the stairs, the balcony Bin Laden would wander around on, and how they made an identical mockup they practiced in "in the middle of nowhere".
*EXPLORE WITH US*: How freaky is it that you might have just been, when you went up those stairs, in "Bin Laden's bedroom"...? So freaking cool. And terrifying! Glad you didn't run into any trouble.
*Another question:: What was in that fenced off area in the distance? More similar buildings?
the grout in the shaded areas was a different color than those in the light. Also the wood on the doors seemed to be very new and didn't show any weathering. The sign that talked about the weight limit didn't show any signs of sun damage or fading. I would guess that it's new. But the fact that the bushes in the main court yard were natural looking and not smashed down from activity seems to be strange. usually a construction site would have pathways and high traffic areas. there should be marks or tracks for heavy loader equiptment if the cement slabes were trucked in, or from cement trucks. They could have cast them on site like the do for tall cement walls for prisons.
Cool vid though.
Yeah, having all the sagebrush all over threw me off too. I would expect them to clear all that.
Looks like an old movie set.
Too well made for that!
No, It would be better rendered on the exterior unless they put cgi on it.. and if they did then a film set would likely use wood and not precast concrete... seems designed to withstand a proper military drill.
Nah, we make 'em out of 2 x 4's with 4 x 8 luan sheets or plywood if necessary. We usually make 'em at the shop, paint 'em, disassemble 'em, drive them to location and slap them together again. If we torch them with pyro, the trash detail deals with what's left. If the flats are good and especially if they're unique, we take them back and store them, and rent them out. If they're just standard walls then it gets turned to scrap and recycled. Fancy stuff like castles, etc, is wood frames with molded fibershell wall details...this is actual concrete made to withstand weather and probably real training scenarios. Producers and studios are WAY too cheap to ever build something so substantial! LOL
Yep. Its a movie set. Its new, but made to look old and cheaply built.
It's not cheaply built though... it's steel! Movie sets have no backs and are propped up with only concern for how it looks from the camera's view. This "set" is designed to withstand some rough action. May look cheap, and generic, minus architectural features, but it's tough. 10:44 shows steel not wood "studs" or "joists".
This is just crazy , wow , thats exactly what this is , a military mock up for training , just blows my mind , thanks for taking us here and showing
it looks new to me very strange cant see any bullet holes looks like a hide away i don't think it is a training area all the doors are still attached. nice rabbit
probably a movie set.....the military does a better job at these kinds of mockups...just sayin'
nope
exactly what I thought movie
Working in the entertainment industry I can safely say this is not a movie set. Its too basic and appears for training purposes. Movie sets pay extreme attention to detail. Right down to the wallpaper.
It could be a movie set for a movie about a police or military training area. Other than that no.
i have seen the military training mockup and it doesn't use shjpping containers and sheet rock or plywood and plaster to cover it...like in this vid..
I was thinking of some very low budget thing that is not an accurate depiction of the mud hut shithole the muslims use around their stinkpitss.
like the music you put ....ha ha
how do you get to nowhere, that's a serious achievement
You can always take County Street 2550, it takes you right to Nowhere.
There used to be a town in Kansas named nowhere. You could get there by train, the ticket actually read 'The Train To Nowhere'.
kansas dont have mountains
You get a liberal arts degree
Kelvin Patterson
"The Ozarks and the adjacent Ouachita Mountains represent the only large area of rugged topography between the Appalachians and the Rockies. The highest peaks, many exceeding 2,000 feet (600 m), are in the Boston Mountains in Arkansas." The Ozarks are just a short drive over in Missouri.
Additionally, Mount Sunflower, in Kansas, comes in at 4,039 ft / 1,231 m - It's just so wide it doesn't have the rugged terrain of typical mountains.
This is where special forces were trained on accurately reconstructed Osama Bin Laden residence before the operation
Me and other of my colleagues have built similar concrete structures in the desert to build and test rockets and their engines. Property is cheap out there too away from nosy people afraid of the noise.
Found a new use for shipping containers.
I got the crap scared out of me when the creepy music played and the bunny popped out. I screamed and my lil brother and mom looked at me like I was crazy 😂 had to explain to them why I screamed 🤣
I say one thing you mailed it with the choice of music you picked
Did he send it Parcel post or Priority mail? And how much did he spend on shipping?

Lol I have a parent who is a postmaster, I couldn't help myself. I almost quoted prices in my comment hahah!
God forbid all these resources be allocated to help people without homes!
The military had mock ups like this to train troops for the new culture they would encounter in Afghanistan complete with American Afghanis speaking their native language and native customs . This is what you have found .
Interesting, thanks.

+casey hawkins aaaa durka durka .
You found a old movie set. Bravo.
I don't think that they would just leave it there. Looks like a possible training facility. Middle Eastern at that!
They'd leave it if it costs too much to dismantle it, or if they don't plan to reuse it. They left the train wreck from The Fugitive.
+always3arching many movie sets get left to return to nature, as it were.
OLD?? Nothing old there all brand new most likely still under construction.
The gas pumps prove it was a movie set.
That bunny scared me too
Haha :) This was an interesting post. I will admit though that I kept on thinking a couple of Apache helicopters were going to buzz you guys at any moment!!
Same thing I was thinking when I was there.
It's an urban assault training ground used for and by overseas contractor companies. It was built as a mock up for real world training and infiltration. They were abandoned when countries like Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, and UAE offered real locations for such training.
Lets play: Rust (HD Texturepack)
it's a training area for soldiers who are going to afghanistant & iraq-they only use them sometimes-hoo ya hardcore
Black ops!
Its probably just something some vets/militia/enthusiasts built out on BLM to train in... Welcome to Arizona
Guys what is BLM? And I don't mean black lives matter.
BLM = Buero of Land Management
Its the branch of the federal goverment that owns/regulates most public land out west.
Close, it's actually DOD land but most of the surrounding area is BLM.
I find it strange that the roll doors had locks on the OUTSIDE rather than the inside.
Ive never been to a storage facility in my life that had internal door locks. They all have em on the outside. And those tiny latch locks are easy enough to kick out if someone locked you in one
I am about 99% percent positive I found this same compound in Google maps. There looked to be a bunch of abandoned military vehicles about 20 miles away.
I so enjoy your videos! At least you talk as your exploring! Makes me want to grab my sister and brother in law and explore the desert in Nevada again. Really miss it! Thank you for sharing these!
Thank you so much Catherine. :-)
I dont think its military. It's too nicely built, and not correct with the material we use for mockups . I'd say movie set or a private training facility.
maybe a set for range 15 actually.
or.....dive into your imagination. It's a movie set. About a group of building contractors who have had their families kidnapped by cartel so they could be forced to build a mock town so the cartel could practice a raid to set El Chapo free. The contractors know they and their families are going to die anyway, so they build all sorts of flaws and inacuracies into the town to help draw attention of law enforcement -- they even build in a purposely chosen place hoping it will be discovered by a curious RUclipsr......... :)
Can't be a movie set. They would have taken it down unless they owned the land. They also wouldn't post signs about load bearing walls.
Bullet casing found in one of the units and it looks like some of the units are Seacan's that are welded together.
Definitely military or a private training facility
Robert C. Christian Movie hasn't used it yet. All you see is as it is meant to be seen in the movie. Load bearing signs, bullet casings etc are props to fit the script. (??)
Except for the dead bird remains, all is as it is supposed to be for filming.
View This I've been on sets. They don't put load bearing signs on sets. At least not on any of the ones I've seen.
It's also sitting next to a small base that they can't access because of no trespassing signs.
It's clearly something private or military.
Well, I gotta say, the most interesting thing about this video, and this is the 1st I ever seen from this poster, is his hot girlfriend. Cool place tho, I wouldn't be surprised if you went back in a month or 2 and found some people living there for free, if they think they could get away with it. XD
Uhh, hot girlfriend? That's my daughter... smh
+Explore With Us hahaha
When does she turn 18???
Uh oh, you're in trouble dood... :- ) You got a hot daughter!
They are on a military base east of Lucerne. There are many village's like that on base used for training for middle east fighting. There are many roads leading into the area that you could be on base and no one would know.You don't want to be caught there and they knew it by their comments.The village's are east of Johnson Valley.
That was cool when you made the Arabic music kick in
First time watching your vids, just curious if you try to look up the area's you're exploring for more information?
I'm just entirely curious why some random Military setup was in the desert lol (I'm sure you were too xD)
Looks like NTC in the Mojave Desert. You can see what looks to be Tiefort Mountain
it appears to be military or law enforcement training site.
Ya, Military mock village.
shhhhh! I'm huntin' wabbits!
:-)
My husband was an instructor out there. All it was is a mock up to train people pre-deployment. Nothing secret. But you shouldn’t be there because it is a government facility.
Wow.
That place is better then my house!
Move in - drill a well, put solar on it and bring in a couple trucks of dirt to make that courtyard into a garden!
Haha, :-)
Was the irritating music necessary?
Ha, I think it was necessary. I was thinking how some of my boring desert walks could be spiced up. The suspense when the rabbit came through was great.
Observing Your Planet No worries. Sorry for any offence.
Observing Your Planet Sometimes, music in a video can be very distracting and annoying, especially if you are trying to listen to someone talk.
Unfortunately you can't please everyone all the time.
A lot of wasted taxpayers money
Jc Tr Negative, not wasted these facilities are actively used for urban assault training for MEUs, and the like. He stumbled upon an active training facility.
yeah because training soldiers how to breach buildings similar to those they will face while protecting your freedoms is a bad idea... esp while you sit there with your sausage fingers trying to type.
@@-_-Code-_- "sausage fingers"?
It's a "Mock up".
Exactly what I thought.
My question is why dont the Government build this stuff on their side of the fence if they didnt want any one looking around at it .. looks cool to me I would have stopped and checked it out too
It is a Defense Contractor training facility, it would have to be on a military base to be government owned / contractor operated (GOCO). Basically role playing scenario set. There would be a bunch of spent blank brass if it were significant.
