Exploring an Abandoned Cold War Communications Center

[@ericsvalland4417]

@4:03 - That is a manual "old school" telephone switchboard. Cords were paired. One cord was used to answer an incoming call, and the second cord was used to patch the call over to an internal extension, or to an external/outside line. If using the external/outside line, you would dial the number using the rotary dial on the right side. Haven't worked/seen one of these type of switchboards since the 1980's. They were replaced by digital switches that allowed a caller to dial direct.

[@hinahanta]

that place is in great shape! no taging and things broke everywhere, I hope it stays that way.

[@OlavXO]

So do I, sir.. Thanks for watching:)

[@IKS-Exploration]

That's amazing!! Very well preserved down there :) thanks for sharing:)

[@OlavXO]

+IKS (Real History) - Fridays 10AM Thank you, sir. Yes the place looks amazing, no vandalism or grafitti at all, truly a well hidden place.

[@JenkemDungeon]

That would be a great place to setup some basic sleeping quarters and keep some basic supplies. You could have your own safe place in the event you would need one.

[@TheRichard991]

Those red pressure blast disks are here too but I'm wondering if those blue circles above doorways are auxiliary passes for cables and ventilation if needed.

[@1234567890sunshine]

Duuuude you are out there in the dang snow!!! That's hardcore! Great job. The place looks so pristine, you could probably just flip a breaker or two and all the lights would come back on...

[@OlavXO]

Thanks for watching, bro:) True, the place is in mint condition, but The juice was all out;/

[@mayzo7439]

quite spectacular Great find thanks for the video looking forward to more

[@OlavXO]

Thanks alot, friend:)

[@benzlick]

Thank you. I love exploring.

[@OlavXO]

+benzlick me too:) Thanks for watching.

[@codyjolley6565]

Please do more of these old bunkers there is so much history within the walls.

[@OlavXO]

+Loaf Bloke As soon as I find another I will share it with you:) Thanks for watching:)

[@codyjolley6565]

No problem just be safe and keep up the good work!

[@arthurboyd522]

I recently found your channel and I really love it. I've been in a couple of old mines and don't get creeped out very easily, but for some reason this place kinda creeped me out. Stay safe my friend.

[@OlavXO]

+Arthur Boyd I have to say thank you, sir. It means a lot that you like my videos. I`m sorry I freaked you out, maybe it`s my editing, who knows. I will stay safe, my friend and I will bring you more videos of abandoned locations...

[@TheUlser]

+Olav XO Digger redigeringa! Akkurat passe bakgrunnsmusikk og stemning :) Takk for videoene, man. Perf for oss som synes UE er veldig spennende, men er for late til å gjøre det sjæl :P Keep 'em comin!

[@OlavXO]

+TheUlser Tusen takk for det:) Alltid hyggelig å høre slikt. Håper på å få vist dere enda mer så fort jeg har noe;)

[@OliviaTheVampyr]

I just found this channel and I’m actually from Norway!

[@abbas1ne]

Loved it

[@OlavXO]

+Mr. NextGen Love you:)

[@morosz2]

If you ever come to the States, I would totally be down to team up with you to do some exploring...

[@OlavXO]

+Michael orosz I would love to do the states, I will be sure to remember you and let you know if I`m ever going:)

[@TheMaxHart]

We want more!! This is awesome keep it up!!!

[@OlavXO]

+max50016 Thanks, buddy:) Much appreciated.

[@LinuxUsersonly]

Another cool video dude :) i wish there was snow here in england we not had here in my area for at least 3 years now

[@OlavXO]

+Linux Unix Thanks man, and thanks for watching:)

[@coldwarpoland2211]

Interesting video, but i recommend buying a LED panel light. It spreads the light and is great for videos. They are quite cheap now

[@Jerazol]

Extremely cool

[@OlavXO]

+Holumen Thanks for watching:)

[@stephaniemartin2131]

Thanks for sharing...

[@OlavXO]

Thanks for watching, maam:)

[@jonm8346]

Top video

[@OlavXO]

Thank you my friend:)

[@4lfie-]

Great video! What were you using as a light source?

[@OlavXO]

By the time I was here, I had a cheap-ass handheld led-device with no diffuser and a LedLenser wrapped around my wrist for keeping track of the sideview. I`ve invested in some better light as we speak and I look forward to bringing you better videoes in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@teajay5863]

I love your videos. I would like to go exploring too, but i don't know where I could find some places. How did you find out of there?

[@OlavXO]

+Terri | Killjoy | gamerin1 Thank you for the feedback, most appreciated. You should just start doing research online and old newspapers and talk to a lot of people, especially old people as they know a lot about local history. If you find some places and post them on online forum dedicated to Urban Exploration, people will start to notice that you are serious about it, and will mostly be positive about sharing some other locations with you. Good luck, and stay safe.

[@pablolagos3229]

holy shit that last picture got me off guard.

[@OlavXO]

+Pablo Lagos Weeee:)

[@monybounty]

Nice video, this would be the 3rd video of yours that i m watching. How do you have the courage to go there alone ? I mean, if the door is open..there are 50% chances of something beeing inside. So far, did you had any encounters of any kind ? When should we expect your next video ? And please make them longer. Take care.

[@OlavXO]

+monybounty It has nothing to do with courage really, I get so intensely curious about what`s inside that I really don`t think to much about it. In places like this, you know that you are all alone, and you can focus on searching around the place and get control of your surroundings. In bigger complexes and "well-known" locations I do bump into other people now and then, but they`re mostly explorers like me. I`ve had some pretty startling moments with animals though, cats trying their best to give me heart attacks when I open a door in an old house e.g:) I was just in Germany on a big tour to explore several new locations, so you can expect to see new stuff in the next weeks hopefully. And I will try to make them longer. Thank you for your feedback, sir.

[@Konde1]

I got 2 questions for you: 1. Have you ever found anything stashed while exploring? 2. How do you come across these places, just word of mouth or is there like a subreddit or forum where you can find places like this? Or do you do research to find these

[@OlavXO]

+TheTrolledOne 1. Yes I have come across stuff of significant value and stuff I am clearly not supposed to see. I have never touched any of it, just captured it on my camera. 2.You partly answer your own question; Yes I put a lot of time into research and checking up on rumors. There are also forums for explorers like myself, but they need to know who you are before sharing the exact location with you, This is solely to prevent vandalism and theft. Thank you for watcing:)

[@spntneous]

Bra valg av bakgrunnsmusikk :)

[@OlavXO]

+Marius E Tusen takk:) Ja syns det passet bra her.

[@windowsfan95]

Kul film, hilsen en NF bruker.

[@OlavXO]

+Øyvind Svanevik Takk:)

[@fossil98]

Awesome stuff! Have you thought about getting a better camera?

[@OlavXO]

+Fossil98 I have, all the time, but then I check my bank account, then I get sad, so I return to my old trusty gopro:)

[@Abandoned-Norway]

Nice fin video og plass du var på her.

[@OlavXO]

+datapakx25 Takk for det ja. Nydelig sted.

[@killer1479]

Now who the hell would want to lock the door on a fine explorer like yourself ? Lol Tbh i have often wondered what it would be like to live in a bunker, then wake up the next day to find the world has been annihilated lol

[@OlavXO]

+killer1479 Lol, I really don´t know;)

[@luzzbightyear7008]

When you go exploring in places like these, do you ever arm yourself?

[@OlavXO]

+Raging With Jake Not really.

[@luzzbightyear7008]

+Olav XO Huh. I would be scared that there would be some crazy people in there or even some animal. I doubt anything has ever happen. But, I would just want it for peace of mind haha.

[@phamzexd]

In Norway?

[@OlavXO]

Yeah:)

[@saranshjain2]

we need more videos olav

[@OlavXO]

Your wish is my command. What do you want to see next? ;)

[@dillonstratos308]

by any chance did you read the nuclear warfare info lol and whats the most shocking thing you can remember finding in a place like this

[@OlavXO]

+Dillon Stratos I did read some of it yeah;) but not to much. I have not found too much shocking yet I`m afraid,some dead animals occationally, but I have come across abandoned houses with almost everything left behind, even considerable valubles and jewlery though. I never remove anything from it`s place and that`s also why I never tell openly the locations of the places. TAKE ONLY PHOTOGRAPHS, LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS! Thank you for watching:)

[@omegagarry8192]

"Wicked anomaly, yes?"

[@OlavXO]

+James Minor Yeah;)

[@lesbeyer5292]

iam a new subscriber as of May 28 2016 at 12:40 central time United States in Streator IL loving your videos iam definitely hooked now do you have patron where people can donate to help with making futrue videos I would be willing to help in that cause

[@OlavXO]

Allthough I highly appreciate that you want to donate, I don't have anything set up for recieving it at the moment. But thank you very much for subscribing and for wanting to help. You rock!!

[@addyhernandez9272]

Did you go alone? I can only imagine the amount of adrenaline rushing through your body and your heart rate...that's one hell of a challenge.

[@OlavXO]

+Adolfo Hernandez It sure is, my friend:) Thanks for watching

[@909mattias]

ye come to kalmar in sweden and i will show you a bunker but its hard to get in, but everything is untouched there thats what my brother said at least when he was there

[@OlavXO]

+That Gamer1337 Oooo that`s interessting:) Wanna tell me where it is? ;)

[@909mattias]

ye its 5 min from my house in southeast sweden ;) close to öland

[@OlavXO]

I wanna go there now:)

[@909mattias]

Haha, the thing is why its probably (untouched) he was there last summer so things might changed but its really hard to entry it cause the doors are welded together so you gotta enter trough a small window or under the door if you are really small or take a roap down the ventilation like my brother did.

[@StonyMahony825]

Nice video, but the camera is bad. Why is it so directed upwards?

[@opelfanatikeren]

Flott fjellanlegg, men litt mere spredt lys og stødig kamera føring er ønskelig. Hadde vert artig å vert her og filmet dette.

[@OlavXO]

+Espen Kristoffersen Helt klart, det var dessverre et resultat av litt for dårlig tid og eksperimentering med en ny hodelykt. Alltid kjip å komme hjem å se at materialet er lite tilfredstillende.

[@birgerolavandreasiii8879]

where in norway is this????

[@OlavXO]

Sorry, I never tell locations. Thanks for watching though:)

[@birgerolavandreasiii8879]

i understand. keep on making good videos

[@OlavXO]

Will do, thanks buddy:)

[@paalwagtell8805]

Vi sier ingenting...;) Men VI vet. mye spennende S, si ifra hvis du du drar nedover :)

[@billy.whiplasher]

very good......

[@OlavXO]

Thanks:)

[@roytommylang]

And now it's closed :(

[@OlavXO]

+Roy Tommy Langø So I heard.. It`s a crying shame, but at least I managed to explore it. Thanks for watching:)

[@cosimoto1]

15 years? This is great stuff! Very, very well constructed at great expense no doubt! Hardly degraded at all! By the way... noone is not an English word. None is the proper word. Please understand I also study a foreign language so I make such mistakes as well. It's normal!

[@swejugfewknlfEIU292]

This video has a better music, more relaxed, but still i had preferred the enviroment sound, and you used h1z1 start music, dont do it anymore pls

[@spectrum9734]

Dav kar i dont believe h1z1 has that copyrighted. I believe its just a public sound effect...

[@OlavXO]

What`s wrong with H1Z1 in the intro? I really like that.

[@swejugfewknlfEIU292]

Haha i think it sounds a little dumb, but meaby because i have played it too much.

[@killzone7609]

talk gust tallk

[@OlavXO]

You want me to talk in the videoes?

[@TheMaxHart]

We want more!! This is awesome keep it up!!!

[@OlavXO]

+max50016 Thanks a bunch, my friend:) Will do my best to bring you more cool stuff:)
