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!!!!

[@Wastelandman7000]

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.

[@jimmyruger7529]

As Todd Brown would say , ABSOLUTELY

[@ericmarquardt6614]

good idea

[@peterleray6084]

I would hit that with my detector in a second!

[@kevinlewis9151]

Hell yeah I also saw a stove pipe? Kind of weird that you didn't find a wood stove. Or gasifier?

[@safarijoesadventures]

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.

[@Bushradical]

Glad you enjoyed

[@chrismathews3444]

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. ♥️💕🕊️

[@doejon9424]

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.

[@kbw9008]

[@mobiltec]

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.

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.

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

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!

[@stevenwarner7348]

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.

[@Richofallthings]

How awesome this is!!! We someday hope to have a experience like you two

[@Jesses001]

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.

[@TheREALOC1972]

absolutely plus the structure seems sound, put a metal roof on it and use it for storage of preps and a fall back shelter.

[@BrianKrahmer]

I guarantee the peanut oil all went rancid and they will taste like garbage

[@Jesses001]

@@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.

[@TheREALOC1972]

@@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.

Congratulations on the new property, looking forward to seeing what plans you have for this one. The biggest treasure you found here was a glimpse into a strangers life.

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...

maybe

[@olgerkhan9331]

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.
