Return to the Survival Bunker- I can't sleep.

- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2022
- My husband Dave and I discovered this abandoned survival bunker on land we bought in Interior Alaska. It had been occupied by a prepper it seemed, and then left to the elements with a bad roof for decades.
It seemed very daunting to clean it up after our first effort, and we let it sit a few weeks, deciding what to do with it. (Clean it up? Burn it? Leave it and move on to working the better part of the property?)
In the meantime, Dave traveled to Michigan to begin a new project and I.... I couldn't sleep thinking about this mess sitting on our new property.
So- I got a dumpster delivered. Join me to see what I endure with the cleanup and if I end up finding any TREASURES!

There's no real problems engaging with them, as far as I know, but don't give them any personal details or send them money!
If you have the time, spend a bit of it wasting their time, it will limit their ability to scam others!

Thanks for the information!
A little info about the past owner of the property - James Clifford, born on May 4, 1945, passed away on May 10, 2020, in Fairbanks, Alaska. Services entrusted to Blanchard Family Funeral Home.... the following is a "MEMORY" left by his niece-
"So sad to just now be hearing of the passing of my Uncle Jim. I have very fond memories of him playing games with us when we were kids. RIP Uncle Jim!
Born in 1945. Fits Historian and Professor James Clifford
@@tipfertool5457 according to Wikipedia he is still alive. The previous owner was also named James M Clifford.
Makes me wonder if he was prepping for Y2K or just whatever 🤔
@@justJelene That's what I was thinking also, or during that time there was Gulf War 1
@@hallard069 yes, I remember --- saddam hussein was boasting that he would unleash the "mother of all battles" on the [then] mighty US. A lot of people concluded that only a person with nukes would make such a threat.
I remember doing stuff just like that when my husband and I bought an old fixer-upper. Most people thought it was a tearer-downer. I was pregnant and just one of the projects was when I had to get the very old, ugly deteriorating and HEAVY wool rug up and out of the house. I had to cut it into small enough pieces so I could carry it to the dumpster. You just do it till is gets done. And then you feel good about what you did!
You did good girlfriend!
exactly
Yeah a small chunk at the time, you need many trips back and forth but the job we can do.
Amazing! I cleaned up the family ranch after 40+ yrs of my mom and mentally unstable brother and their hoarding mess. It took me 4+ yrs of steady doing what you are doing. Yes the payoff is reclaiming the land and planting and gardening and being a good steward of the land! God bless you Sista 💟
That's amazing, you're doing great!
The gun, the knife, the hard work, and the fantastic attitude. You handling that mess alone. You are an amazing woman! Respect
You should be so proud of yourself doing that alone. That was an overwhelming job, and you persevered, and got er done!! Way to go! Can’t wait to see what you do there next!!
Great job of dealing with the pile of junk and smells and waters
I hate those jobs when you just have to 'suck it up' and get it done
Yes, you amaze me!
I got one question where is your husband at
Applause!!! What a phenomenal job you completed and conquered
@@debbiemiller8018 at the beginning of the video she tells you in captions that he is back in Michigan working on a project.
I am watching this video and my wife keeps saying where is her husband to help. Then it comes across the bottom he is in Michigan. She says it figures and rolls her eyes as she walks out of the room in disgust. Brooke you are one hell of a worker. Always impressed by you.
i was thinking the same thing...from the looks of some of those totes more ..guts..for a lack of better terms than me..it would have been a gag fest for sure
Brooke's a workhorse...Dave would have to practically tie her down lol...but this woman definitely knows how to put her feet up and chill when she wants/needs to!
Love it!
She had help cleaning it out.
I’d be afraid I’d come across a dead body…gross…
Oh Broke you give me energy. I am 60 years old/young? I am suffering with COPD. But you give me hope. I watch you never giving up. Hours of toil as you say in your video. I sit here watching you with my 5 lb weights. Trying my best to make an effort to move. God bless you. You and your 🎉husband are amazing. Thank you for inspiring me to move a muscle change a thought. 😮
To be honest it could easily make the basis for a prepper/holidy cabin. I would look at building a second floor above it and living above it and using the bottom as a storage and kitchen.
I would look at TEARING it completely down and then raking the ground to get all of the remaining debris. that's what I would LOOK AT! yeah!
@@sandrasherritt9708It could be maintained and repurpose
Oh Brooke, you're a trooper !. As a retired cop I've seen a lot of nasty places but you single handedly tackling that mess was something else. I applaud you young lady for your fortitude and strength. Love your video's, blessings to you and yours always !.
thank you
@@therealgirlinthewoods might look good painted green
The word fortitude is a perfect description of this project! Unreal! I think for most of us, if we could even consider it, it would take a week. And I am reminded the path was cleared first. The amazing attitude shines through and is something we can all take away from this!
No one cares u were a cop
" I bet this guy was super fun at parties" That made me belly laugh. Amongst all the gross stankiness, the hard work, and the long days, you still manage to keep a great sense of humor. Great video, and you guys have a beautiful spot of land.
Dave is a very happy husband because of you. You eat the stuff I would. In the midst of falling goop and absolute yuk, you take time to sort ??!! YAYYYYYY
Today is Sept 3rd. It's been 10 days since you posted your insane clean up of the bunker. I keep checking to see if you have posted anything since but 😕 nope. No doubt you are still wiped out from that gigantic job on the bunker 😁. Just don't burn out girl. All of us would miss you terribly. Funny how we can feel as if we know another and have grown to be close friends even when they've never actually met😂🤣. But that's how your video's effect myself and no doubt countless others❤️.
You have become such a part of our lives!
Blessings, sister in Christ, Brooke.
In Jesus
Brook🙋🍏🍎 and Opy🐕💖, too.😁
You are AMAZING ...not many people would survive that survival bunker..never mind doing it alone..WOW..u go girl!!!!!
It surprised and touched me when you prayed over your food. That act had power! Amen for your boldness and being true to your convictions.
Yep, I love that she prays over her food.
Yay..she back! Missed you Ms. Worker Bee. Can’t wait to see what the bunker becomes!
Hello Karen how are you doing
Oh my goodness! I have a whole new level of respect for you and your attitude towards this disgusting dumpster dive bunker job! YOU GO BROOKE!!! Thank you for showing such a great example of strength and determination. I can’t wait to see more of this land and what you’re going to do with it.
All the books they needed for prepping for starting a new world.
Everytime I think I can't push that mower five more feet or pick the weeds around my flower garden, I think of you Brook and just do it. You really can inspire us women to do jobs we think only a man can or should do. You've proven over again, we can . Love your channel.
I laughed when you said, “I would eat that, if I was desperate” after you had taken a bite… you are much braver than I
I kept trying to NOT project a “unabomber” vibe on the original owner. But the typewriter find, that sealed it! 😲😂 Bless you, Brooke.💗
He was going to write the great American novel.
I came here to see if anyone else thought unabomber. Thank you!
Ted Kaczynski was arrested in 1996, so the dates on the food check out.
At the start she complained about the size of the dumpster but when all was finished she filled the dumpster. If she could have gotten a smaller one it would have been two loads. Much credit for the hard work filling that dumpster.
I'm almost positive that the smell-a-vision came through a couple times. You really have my respect, Brooke. Tackling a job like that is beyond difficult and unpleasant. I did fire damage work back in my younger years, and that was pretty bad, but nothing compared to the job you did. Two thumbs WAY up! Now you enjoy your peanuts and I hope Dave enjoys his whitie tighties. :)
hahah thanks dave yuk indeed!
Lol
"his white tighties" hahahahaha"
@@therealgirlinthewoods Brooke, I suggest getting a construction expert to go over the structure with you to advise what can be salvaged, condition of the concrete block walls and how to go forward with what you are thinking.
if you want to sell 1-2 of the acres I'm very interested.
I keep waiting for the body or skeleton to turn up...
I kept praying you’d find a lock box of cash… Something to reward all that toil. You know you’re a good RUclipsr when folks like us will watch you haul nasty trash for almost 40 minutes! Can’t wait to see what y’all do to “Whipple-ize” this place!
Or gold coins.
This settles it you are definitely the hardest working person I have ever seen also you are the toughest and most determined woman on Utube.
Why would a doomsday bug out spot have cash? Now, maybe gold. But let's be honest, if you're planning for the end of the world, the barter system is probably not going to look at shiny metals very valuably. Just saying.
i though there was gonna be at least some ammo
Wow….I don’t think I could’ve done that cleanup….at any point in my life. Great respect for you Brooke! You are such a worker!
I admire her energy
Just found your channel. Very impressed you're doing this alone. Scientific books, typewriter and secluded woods. Makes me think of the Unibomber. 😬
Brooke, you are one brave and determined woman! I wouldn't even want that mess on the tailgate of my truck. You are amazing! WonderWoman!!!
Great job!! During the pandemic we purchased an acre of woodland with a creek going through it and a verifiable hovel. The hovel is a 1950's travel trailer that was cut open on one side, now boasting a sagging addition. The mice are very happy. There's trash piles around the property, so much of your struggle against rusty grossness is familiar to me. May we both wrestle redemption out of mess.
yup been there too! ick good luck
Congratulations!?! I’m actually looking for something like that myself, 😉😂. Truly! If you’re gonna jump, might as well jump deep. 🤷🏼♀️
I can’t get over how strong you are. You must be all muscle. You are one determined and persistent person. Not many people could clear that out like you did. You are amazing.
I tell you Brooke, I don’t know where you find the energy or the drive to do such hard work. I appreciate what you share, I have watched you build and keep a smile on your face. If I ever saw I would just give you the biggest and fullest hug. Stay blessed.
Thanks for taking the time to include us. I never thought I'd see anything worse than the trashed party house I was hired to clean out back in my starving college days. You win!
Ya know Brooke.....even if you didn't want to convert the bunker to living space it would make a nice shop or garage to build a cabin next to with a bit of elbow grease ... I'm confident you and Dave are going to do something cool.
I used to do all kinds of stuff like that I'm older now and it's much harder miss the good old days. When I had so much energy felt so good after doing everything getting a shower afterwards.
I love how you said the dumpster might be overkill when you got it. Great work! Very impressive!
You actually did it, Brooke, all by yourself! Hardest working woman I know. Congratulations, well done and yes, now onto the projects you like the best! 👏🎉🎉
Oh Brooke, I will forever remember how you struggled but pushed thru. So amazed at your commitment and determination. You give us all hope! Hope you had a big ribeye and long bubble bath!
hahah thanks much i had a shot it was comin!
Hello Claudia how are you doing today
The difference in batteries: Standard batteries will corrode and leak out over time. Industrial or Super Heavy Duty batteries have sealing gaskets and are made to better specs. So if you need them to sit a while, get the better grade. But if you blow through batteries really fast, get the cheap ones. I am surprised there was not a basement. Great work! What a trooper!
Thank the lord there wasn't a basement can't imagine the flooding and the gunk. Especially from the leaked gas. The film it might have left ontop of the water. 🤢 It would've had to been pumped out or at least that's the only thing I could imagine being done to get it all out. Then how would you seal it up so it doesn't happen again oh and not to mention trying to dry the area out so it docent mold or corrode faster. 😵💫🤯 What a nightmare that would've been.
Love your videos . You’re such a light in the darkness for many . Thank you 🙏🏼
I hope you don't become sick from being around and breathing in all that muck. Fantastic job! 🙏❤️
And the food she is eating!
Dave better appreciate how wonderful you are to do all that by yourself.
Yes he best do . . .plus she scored him some new tighty whitees!!
Dave knew from the first minute it wasn't worth the effort
@@abeach5420 😆😆
@@Grimfire-fj6ug Brooke has “vision”, it had to be cleaned out anyway, it was “environmentally unfriendly”!
You did an amazing job. The person who got the shelter together had a serious case of overthinking which was really a case of not thinking it through!
She shoulda had a backhoe!😂
I am totally impressed with how you persisted and by yourself cleaned that nightmare out. I can't wait to see what you do to fix it up. Please keep us posted on your progress? You are one heck of a hard worker. I enjoyed you on Alone as well. Cheers!
I can't believe you cleaned it out all by yourself. Good job 👍.
I think Brooke really needs to video Dave's reaction when he sees what she did.
Nice!
Or ate!
I can see this as your own private open air Mexican Cantina in the woods! String lights back and forth across the top for a “roof”, lay some tiles for the floor, rattan table and chairs with cushions made from Mexican blankets, light that fire up and throw some tortillas on top! MAGIC
i have never seen anyone who needs a bobcat more
To paraphrase Kipling:
"You're a braver soul than I, Lady Brooke!"
I can imagine a couple of scenarios, once the petroleum smells are mitigated.
We look forward to seeing your plans for the hoarder/prepper bunker shell.
I have to say that my beloved and I deeply appreciate how you and Dave work WITH the land, treading lightly, making plans that harmonize with the environment instead of bringing in heavy equipment to modify what exists to meet your vision.
Thank you. We've always preferred to leave the area as much untouched as possible. Absolutely HATE it when areas get cleared and destroyed for a house footprint!
Be careful as there might be snakes
Where and how did you find this place
I know why Dave found " another project" Brook! That's one of the most difficult jobs= cleaning up after other people. Double tough cause you had to shuttle it to the dumpster. Sue enjoy your stuff. Would get a kick out of meeting you guys some day. Continue to enjoy!
fo sho
I feel like originally that bunker may not have been too bad. Obviously, not perfect, or ideal, but they gave it a try. Had a lot of supplies, and a stove. Incredible work cleaning that out. Wow, I'm so impressed!! And inspired. ❤
Someone's little make-believe prepper playhouse in the woods. Seen worse; though, I've also seen far better cabins. I'm sure it kept someone entertained.
It was only the roof that let it down to be fair
@@Klaaism little judgy ?
@@todsimpkins8908 Just a little. The PNW is my stomping grounds, born and bred.
Holy smokes!!!! I can't believe how much crap was in there.....or, that you cleaned that toxic schtuff out! You go, grrrrlfriend! Annnnnd....it was interesting to see what was still edible in the way of food he had stashed away. Stuff everything in plastic and you are good to go. I'm 65 and don't think I've used that many trash bags in my entire life as he had stashed there. Geeeez.
I am speechless that was horrific and you made this world a better place .
Wow! I'm impressed. Dave's project sure was timely, and he's an extremely fortunate man to have you in his life.
I agree
And he's extremely smart...not to be there!
You are proof that the human mind and spirit can do anything. I don't think there's anyone here that wouldn't have helped you had we had the chance. Cannot wait to see what happens next.
You are one hell of a woman, you've done a number of projects that I have never done 😃. I am sincerely proud of you for your hard work. That's the great thing about you that you are not a lazy person, you get down and dirty . 💯👍😎✌️❤️I love your videos they're not boring like some of these videos that are out there!!! God bless you and I pray that you will never have to use that bunker !! ! 💯👍🙏🏻😇
That was a mess! I've cleaned up some messes made by people before but I think that mess won the prize. I'm not kidding when I say I smelled that all the way here- Oklahoma! 🤢 You've got that place and the surrounding area looking super. Sure glad you chose the bigger dumpster. There are so many possibilities with that land, I'm sure you two will make something amazing. Awaiting your next adventure. Stay safe and GOD bless
That's awesome you are cleaning that disaster up instead of ignoring it. It would bug the crap out of me knowing that was on my property! If I was there I would help you.
Yuuuuuuup
Same, here. I wouldn't sleep a wink!
Your prayers for strength from our Father were inspiring. Thanking him for everything. Just touched me,I to thank him for sunshine, animals, loving and guiding us along,and always for the blessing of food and his protection over it.your a very strong willed woman and I'm sure your husband knows he's blessed to have a wife like you.😊
Someone left the flashlight there recently when checking the place out. Its not 27 years old. It would leak and rot in less than 2 years for sure.
You're a hard worker. Attractive in so many ways. Cute, nice bod, funny, all around pretty cool. Neat and orderly. Good decorator and fast learner.
And very definitely, a genuine blond.
Brooke, you are something else! I would of been crying and gaging all through that mess. You are the hardest worker I have ever known. I give you so much credit for all you do, wow. You GO girl!
I love how your dog just relaxing in the truck while you work.
he wanted nothing to do with that filth
Wow! Checking in for the remodel video….
Well,..you don't have to worry about Covid. You've just been exposed to every disease on Earth after cleaning out that remote puke crib. Great vid, Brooke:) You're a trooper🙂
~Kevin
pretty much
She deserves some kind of award or something !
It’s helps that she is outdoors. I was thinking she should have had a mask on
😂😂 truth!
hell she ate from 94 lol she's good.
You're an amazing woman, Brooke. I can't help but feel sorry for James Clifford, wondering what circumstances were that caused him to abandon everything that he had stored up.
Someone looked him up. Old age gets us all.
Yea, death catches us all, love the ones your with.
I've always considered how a prepper would feel about dying without having to make use of their preps. Perhaps their last words would be something like "I tell y'all, it's just around the corner"
That just reminded me of when me and my wife started our cleaning business. We cleaned foreclosed homes until we switched to regular business and residential cleans. You couldn't pay me enough to do those again. Great job it is extremely hard work.
Super awesome. I personally would think an a-frame on top, for extra space, and sleeping loft. For the fuel oil, kitty litter sounds good, but I would almost recommend having a campfire on that floor.
You win the prize for tenacity and hard work! Great job!
I appreciate that
And her tumerity for sure.. brave bold and bodacious!
I was sitting here, in my nice clean living room, with my hand over my mouth, feeling nauseated just from watching. You deserve great respect. Hope you are doing something totally wonderful for yourself. Be well
Sorry!
And she didn't use any of those bags as barf bags.
@@therealgirlinthewoods No apologies, you rock!
You deserve an award for that work. You are AMAZING! I have been watching your videos off and on for years - and appreciate you so much more after watching this one. ❤️U!
Wow, I can't believe you did that by yourself! I probably would have rented a bobcat and used the bucket to bring the stuff to the dumpster. You go girl!
Girl, that's what I call back breaking work! I'm so amazed at your attitude and determination to make things happen! Love your walk with the Lord, warms my heart 💜
That was a grueling job, it’s speaks loudly of your tenacity to survive. I cleaned up a burned building with a bass boat in it. It’s was a mangled charred mess, but was so glad it was gone out of my back yard. The neighbor had leta brush fire get out of hand. We were very upset about loosing our boat and a stack of mahogany wood pieces and numerous other tools. At the metal recycling place they had a giant swinging magnet that reached into my trailer and picked it up.
toooooo bad
Give all the dry food to the birds they'll love it!!!
I am a guy watching this and you do not need no man to survive out there and live your dream you are a strong smart woman and you have a lot of people rooting you on good going girl
My goodness you are testimony to complete woman power! Your grit, strength, and utter determination to complete such a nasty job is something to be proud of. Well done, you. Well done. 😊
I got the feeling from those windows that the previous owner was afraid of wild animals getting in. Interesting construction. Good job. Very entertaining! 🇨🇦
@Carolexo I was trying to figure that out too…?
This guy was prepared to rebuild civilization
And that folks is how you stay in shape! Wow, so overwhelming but you handled it so positive. Your outlook on this project uplifted me. “ It is was it is”. Basically, Just one thing at a time that’s all we can do. Thanks Brooke! You are a blessing.
Brook makes me feel like I could do this, but I'm not Brook! 😕
@@sun_paper_girl
She's so encouraging right? For me too. Like watching "Super Woman"!!! After seeing this a trash pile will look like just a challenge!☺️ Just Love her attitude and sense of humor. Have a great day!!!
@@beverlycook8679 indeed, she is one of a kind!
OMG!!!! I could never do that kind of clean up! This was so hard to watch…I can only imagine how hard it had to be for you! You maintained a great attitude through it all!
Nice score on the property Brooke, a great deal. One day when the cleanup is a memory, you’ll be very glad you bought it. Well done. Every man would love to have a partner like you, hard working fun smart sensible and attractive, hard to beat. I’m impressed. Dave is a very lucky guy. By the way, we only got five or six shots, you quit saying yuck as cleanup progressed.
You are inspirational and have such a good attitude. I can’t wait to see what magical thing you turn the property into!
Oh Brooke, poor you! You’re a trooper, that’s for sure! I’d be concerned I’d puke from the smells and sights. Got to feel good to know that’s all gone though. May the Lord continually fill you with His joy for your strength!🙏🏻
Please wear a mask or respirator
Can’t believe you cleaned that out alone. What a job! We applaud you!! 👏
Awesome to see and here you thanking God and praying!
You should have checked inside the boots you found. People hide a lot of goodies in their!
That mess was overwhelming so kudos to you for grinding it out. I can imagine the smells as I have had to clean something similar. You really stuck it out. My back hurts in sympathy! Looking forward to you clearing up the land.
I have so much respect for you and the hard work you do, especially while filming.
I have empathy. I keep smelling it all. My stomach is churning. Wow! I am amazed by you!! YOU are amazing for cleaning up ... alone. You are my hero!
Thank you for sharing! I love what you are doing! And for sharing your faith 💛
Helluva job Brooke !!!!! Well done my friend. Most folks nowadays would've just walked away.
What an incredible woman you are to take on the task of clearing that all out on your own - you are such an inspiration! I really hope with some saw dust or kitty litter the fuel and smell can be drawn out of that space. The flooring and walls appear to be very sturdy and would make a good base structure for something. The dense moss on the ground all around has so many fantastic uses! It's great for insulation and gardening. Thank you for always keeping the land in mind and the harmony of the landscape in your adventures. Loves and scritches to Moose. Blessings to you all!
Appreciate you praying and your gratitude.
You are one damn hard working lady!!!! RESPECT!
Great job! That’s a lot of heavy work for anybody and you did it like a champ. It is always good when a mess is cleaned up and then you can take a look at what you really want to do to the rest of the property. And I agree, the beautification process of the property is the fun stuff. Keep up the great videos.
She is definitely a Rockstar. 💪
@@sway696 I have been watching her and her husband Dave at Bushradical For about three years. They’re both pretty down to earth and seem like real people. I grew up in the upper peninsula of Michigan which makes me a yooper. I like to see what they do with the properties they own. Anytime someone can take something and make it better I enjoy it.
thanks much!
@@therealgirlinthewoods thank you for putting out such great content. We appreciate you.
This video is so gratifying! Nothing worse than knowing that there’s a huge toxic mess on your land, and it’s just sitting there and festering in your mind😂. This is like a pimple popping video for landowners🙂
oh yeah
Haaahaaa good analogy.
@@therealgirlinthewoods Have you guys discussed about what you’re going to do with the building, if anything?
Her husband busy too, we dont see all. She is loving projects and making money too ❤. I'm 70 years old and I built a tiny home out of my old horse trailer. Boy is my butt stiff!😮 I'm retiring!😊
I can see that brickwork being the first floor with a cabin built on top. Cantilevered out for extra space, over hangs on 4 sides.
Girl! Be careful!! You sure are a strong lady!! God bless you!!! Y’all came a long way !! Cleaned up a lot from the last video!!! I really enjoy watching y’all!!!!
Goodness Gracious Brooke. What a big huge feat. Your patience, strength, and staying power is admirable 🏆🏅💫
CONGRATULATIONS!🍾
Use the propane
I work at a landfill and I’m amazed by how much good propane is thrown away. . Clean the threads, connect it, check connections with soapy water, no bubbles, good to go.
I really enjoy watching your adventures. Thanks for praying for us. Love you!
I am amazed that you a one woman power house got this done to completion! Scripture to remind us all…I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! The goopy mess was enough for me to imagine the gross smell! Great job Brooke! I am sure when you progress in developing this place, this will have been the bigger accomplishment completed!
