    Hello from Mönchengladbach Germany. What a very nice explore. An abandoned military object is always an adventure. A 6 inch coastal Battery is not an every day found. Sealed doors has it reasons. Many equipment or anything else could left behind (for example: Camouflage paint contains a lot of lead and other cancer provocations materials).The landscape is amazing. Many Thanks for your Work together Brent and Dame Untamed. Stay safe and God bless you.

    Part of West Coast defence network during WWII, there are a few on Vancouver Island and I would imagine on some strategic locations on Straights of Georgia islands as well. Another fascinating explore, thanks Brent.

      There are installations all along the coast from WWII. There is the ruins of a base near Prince Rupert, there is a Large Bunker with equipment left over from the war near Terrace BC airport. (or was in 1999 when some schoomatesbroke in and opened a crate with a 40s generator inside of it.)
      There are recently decomissioned radar sites on Haidaa Gwai that has been in operation since the 40s. This was the frontline if Japan invaded.

      There was a large fort on the north side under the lions gate bridge. Torn down circa 1980. Used to play in it. 2 storey thick walled structure with old gun mounts. iirc the mounts were small but the place could hold several guns. So from point grey to stanley park back out to point atkinson pretty much had Burrard Inlet covered.

I wish they could make a historical theme park with them, they deserve their conservation and to be of foot (with a little rust from humidity and time), but really worth it to preserve Canada's history. I am not Canadian, I am Mexican, but I am passionate about the history of war, especially World War II, and I would like to know more about how your country intervened. A thousand congratulations, you left me in love with your country!!

    We had a base close to my city Grande Prairie AB. Info follows:
    Canadian Forces Station Beaverlodge is a closed General Surveillance Radar station. It is located 4.9 miles east-northeast of Beaverlodge, Alberta. It was closed in 1988. It was operated as part of the Pinetree Line network controlled by NORAD.
    It was torn down in the early 90’s. My husband put the ground back to natural habitat. It’s now home to a very rare ground squirrel that only peeks it’s head out for a week every summer.
    Incase you needed little more pieces of useless information😉😂

    I hope the Canadian government leaves it there to fade away naturally. It has a beautiful look to it and it's not hurting anything. Just a part of history that should be held on to. Personally, I would love to have that bunker and convert it into a mansion. I am sure there is plenty of square footage to split up and build a rustic or modern mansion. That round part on the roof would make an excellent swimming pool and even the window placement would stay somewhat similar to the way it is now. I think it would be such a cool summer get away. Love your video's. Just finished watching Mascot Mine. Another perfect summer get away. Take care and be careful out there.
