Exploring the Blue Bunker

[@IonOtter]

The red doors indicate combat points, or places that could be hazardous if the bunker comes under attack. Green is living space, and yellow is chemical/biological. That's where the decontamination area would be. Those round red valve-things are blast valves, designed to snap shut if the site were to be hit by a large detonation. Otherwise, without them, those inside would be snap-crushed instantaneously from the pressure.

[@OlavXO]

THIS IS SOLID GOLD!! Thank you so much for this info. Any sources on this or are you just awesome on everyday basis? :)

[@Zorck1]

Thanks Olav. I hope you keep finding places like this.

[@OlavXO]

And thank you for watching my videos:)

[@TheUlser]

Another awesome video, man! Thumbs up for no music ;)

[@OlavXO]

Glad you liked it, and thanks for watching:)

[@unchartedexploration8427]

DUDE!! I hope this gets a ton of views. What a great job! This is incredibly interesting! Imagine playing in this as a kid...

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much:) These places attracts kids sometimes I suppose, but this one is really far away from houses so That`s probably why it`s still in good condition..

[@martinii93]

Nice video as always! It would be nice if you could test some things in places like this though. Like test if the water works, and open hatches and so on.

[@oooooo-bh4bv]

Martin Thomasen youre so right!

[@OlavXO]

Thank you:) I will consider more "fiddling" in my future adventures:)

[@NectarinoMo]

Yeah, If you see any buttons labelled fire, try pressing them.

[@OlavXO]

That`s always been one of my absolute nightmares; accidently pressing the " FIRE ATOMIC WEAPON" button:)

[@drayygon]

a really awesome video, no music made it detached yet pulled you in more. so cool to see later cold war bunkers and one in such good condition too. it's like it could be put to use again without much work.

[@OlavXO]

Thanks alot for this feedback, sir.

[@RafałRuchlewicz]

I like it! I like you descriptions what are we actualy looking at and that place is so clean, no graffitis an garbage.

[@anthonyhaddix3598]

it is always cool to see these places, but it is just amazing when you can find one unmolested like this, keep them coming.

[@OlavXO]

Gets me too, everytime, but I love the feeling when it happens:) Thanks bro:)

[@StringerMedia]

Amazing place! I wish I was lucky enough to be there

[@OlavXO]

Sure was an amazing place. Thanks for watching, bro:)

[@539Productions]

The bunker is in remarkable condition! Very rare to see one without a ton of water damage!

[@OlavXO]

Absolutely true:)

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545]

This place is in great shape🙂 enjoyed the adventure👍👍

[@Deadflower20xx]

Little gets me happier than seeing a new video from you in my sub box. Awesome video man. Norway looks incredible haha.

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much for saying that:) This pushes me to make more videoes for you:)

[@jnealcarr]

I really dig the commentaries... such an interesting relic from the cold war!

[@OlavXO]

Thanks for telling me this, sir, highly appreciated feedback! I totally agree, I love cold war history and this is one gem for sure.

[@travisnelson9104]

Awesome video. Subbed. So many cool abandoned bunkers/military bases in Europe. I live in the US. Not nearly as many here.

[@XxDevilxKingxX1]

So happy to see you still upload when you can

[@OlavXO]

So sorry I missed this comment Marcos. Thank you for still watching my videoes. Hope you are doing fine.

[@AndreasS1980]

Awesome stuff Olav. That's a cool bunker.

[@OlavXO]

Thanks, my friend:) It sure is.

[@littlefarmer32]

Some know of this? The table full of candles. Cool bunkers you get to explore,

[@OlavXO]

Aye, those candles are probably from locals having a good time inside. I have no quarrel with them since the`re obviously not vandalizing.

[@mariaconsueloacantilado9803]

Brilliant find... I found myself trying to redesign it in my head once I moved in :)

[@OlavXO]

Thanks alot, madam:) Would you want to live there?

[@mariaconsueloacantilado9803]

Olav XO definitely with a good redesign

[@ronniecardy]

Very nice video loved every minute of this video. Very good work one thing I would like to see you slow down the panning some

[@leecox7728]

very good answer very good to see that it hasn't been vandalised or attacked

[@OlavXO]

Could not agree more. Too many of these fine places gets torn apart by vandals and grafitti "artists". Thanks for watching, sir.

[@VanquisherUSMC]

That place was in amazing condition! If the individuals posted there had ever seen action, it would have been pure Insanity! Thanks for the awesome tour.

[@OlavXO]

It sure is in good condition. You also make another exellent point, that peak would be INCREDIBLY hard to take out. Luckily it never came to that. Thanks so much for watching.

[@TheMaxHart]

Love your videos man! Always want to see more!! Keep it up!

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much for letting me know:) Stay tuned for more soon:)

[@busybread6078]

This is so awesome to explore. Wish i could find these in my country

[@OlavXO]

You country, wherever that is, probably also has defense facilities like this. get out there and look for them, my friend:) Tell me if you find anything:)

[@RadioactiveSaddam]

Busy Bread Welcome to Norway/Sweden 😊

[@LateNightVoid]

Great video! A big HELLO from Portugal!

[@OlavXO]

Thanks my friend:) Hello to Portugal from olavXO:)

[@toddmetzger]

If I recall correctly, many of these bunkers were mated with tank turrets to provide a "Maginot Line" type of defense for the country. I think that as the theory of warfare progressed, the turrets were removed from the bunkers, but the bunkers remained in service as control point coverage in case of invasion.

[@OlavXO]

Hi Todd. Thank for writing to me:) You are absolutely right about the line-part, although calling it the Maginot might be a little out of scale:) From what I`ve learned there were no tank-turrets in these, but they had hatches for easy use of handheld anti-tank weapons that could be aunched from inside the bunker. They did however have foundations ready for AA, guns in place, you can see the 3 concrete-pillars right where I enter the first time. Thanks for watching my video:)

[@toddmetzger]

@@OlavXO Always happy to watch good and informative videos. Keep up the great work. I guess I was thinking more of some of the bunkers along the Bulgaria-Hungary borders, also many of the German bunkers towards the end of WW2 were equipped with tank turrets as defensive measures, and when they didn't have a tank chassis to mount.

[@123norway]

A local group of veterans from the National Guard is actually reopening this facility to serve as a museum! Can't wait :)

[@OlavXO]

I have also heard about this and I think kit`s really cool. Keeping history alive is always my cup of tea,. Hope they will get it right.

[@123norway]

@@OlavXO Btw did you ever get a chance to check out Lyngen- or Frøy-linjen up north? It's supposed to be a lot of the same constructions, even tho a lot of them are torn down already :/

[@LeeGee1983]

wow facinating. great video again.

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much:)

[@mwills802]

Very cool! Great job and well explored! More please... lol

[@OlavXO]

Doing my best, stay tuned:)

[@PiatekMichal]

I think that they painted doors with different colors so it would be easier to navigate. As you said - this bunker is like a little maze and I can imagine it would be quite easy to get lost especially during the real fight. Color-coded doors could make soldier's life easier.

[@dop_hi]

The different colours mean different purposes for each room. Examples; red: Action ready/ Turret/ Firing slots, Yellow: Emergency exit, Green: Storage/ Living quarters. This was for easy Identification during a fire fight or any type of situation.

[@OlavXO]

This I can totally agree with as it really makes sense:) Thank you for this information, sir:)

[@dop_hi]

funny enough a madam and it's my pleasure. I have been living in a little village with some old ww2 bunkers. I even started to work in a local bunker museum and my dream has always been to just have a bunker for myself and refurbish them. I sadly i'm not well funded enough for any of that and not even to buy a camera with a fish eye lens to go out and do things like this. But I appreciate your work and I totally support you!

[@OlavXO]

Well pardon me, good madam:) With you vet knowledge of bunkers I`m sure we would make an excellent team in the darkest of bunkers:) Hope you stick around to see my future videos and fill in the blanks if needed:)

[@dop_hi]

I'll definitely stick around and if you have any questions you can give me a message and i'll see what I know.

[@martync7436]

No graffiti, amazing.

[@OakleyW23]

Martyn C probobly because its locked and teens are to scared to get in through that little hatch

[@martync7436]

Oakley Watkins - That further reinforces my belief that the teens where I live, are mutants!

[@OlavXO]

Could not agree more:)

[@cemdonmez5049]

exploring this kind a places is dangerous you are brave bro and nice videos I hope you wont see somebody or something in this areas

[@OlavXO]

Thanks a lot my friend:) I`ll promise to be careful.

[@severintofte4828]

Sick place mate! I've heared the name of the location. Not sure if its right but ill try to visit one day :)

[@monstersaboveme4072]

Good video. I prefer those without music. It's spooky enough. Music just makes the scaryness artificial, and even takes away from it, because you don't hear shit anymore from the original sound of the clip. I can't speak for everyone, of course, but I hope you keep it that way.^^

[@OlavXO]

Thank you for telling me this:) Feedback from my viewers is the most important thing for me to expand this channel.. I know a lot of you like it with no music, and some of you prefer to have a soundtrack there, but it really boils down to what I feel works best for the video when I`m editing it. A lot of times I have but music on top just to conceal all the stupid stuff that I say to myself while walking around alone:) I will experiment with different stuff in the future and I will always keep in my what you guys wish. Hope you will stick around .

[@OakleyW23]

Wish bunkers and abandoned installations like this were scattered more over britan, and im pretty sure the ones already here are under strict control

[@OlavXO]

I know for sure that you guys have a lot of them, but they might be under control. You have to go out there and look, man:)

[@alexwenzel6932]

fantastic! ! thank you sharing

[@OlavXO]

And thank you so much for watching:)

[@tuffufuvuvj6735]

Your are Awesome!! your vids , man their good!!

[@OlavXO]

You are awesome too for taking the time to write me this.. Thank you for watching:)

[@BravoLimaUK]

Great Vid. Awesome place, seemed very small in a wierd way. Wonder what it's actual functionality was meant to be? A defensive position? A look out? Either way fascinated with these buildings you keep finding....

[@dop_hi]

This bunker gave the defending side a position to defend from and attack the invading side once they came thru this road. It's a freeway to the capitol and so it had to be defended. Most bunkers of this type are put there specifically to make it difficult to attack for the invading side. Think it as a funnel where you have to go thru with at the smallest section a machine gun position incase anything hostile walks thru it walks thru a deadzone/ fringing radius of one of the gun and so making it very difficult to proceed.

[@OlavXO]

Thanks again, captain:) It is obvious that you know your stuff. Maybe I can contact you the next time I have a question for my videos?

[@vedgubben]

i know this bunker, been into it.. love it, thumbs up :D

[@OlavXO]

I know, it`s a real treat:) Thanks for watching, sir:)

[@yoeri14]

This is amazing!! keep on the good work :D

[@OlavXO]

I aim to please:) Thanks for watching.

[@yoeri14]

Does it give you alot of adrenalin when you enter a bunker? And do you feel sometimes weird feelings around yoi?

[@OlavXO]

I guess I have some adrenalin going through my system once I enter an abandoned site. Not really felt any weird feeling around me, but it`s very quiet in these places so I try to enjot that as much as I can:) Thanks for watching:)

[@kurtwollermann2210]

outstanding workmanship

[@OlavXO]

I don`t know if you`re talking about the architecture of the bunker or my video, but I`m gonna say thanks anyway, good sir:)

[@weyth9207]

Woah when i saw those "candles" i thought you would find someone inside :D

[@OlavXO]

Maybe they could have been my friends;( Thanks for watching;)

[@francoisdastardly4405]

No shitty music and no shaky cam. Very good video !!

[@OlavXO]

Thanks a lot:) Glad you like it.

[@TuMAnu2007]

Keep doing your videos, they are awesome! Have you found a relic in your searches that you decided to keep?

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much:) Trying my best to find something new for you all:) I have found loads of stuff I wanted to keep, but there are strict rules in Urban Exploration. TAKE ONLY PHOTOGRAPHS, LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS! Thanks for watching man:)

[@williseiner7373]

The bunker is really in a very good condition !

[@OlavXO]

It sure is:) Thanks for watching

[@deniscarp9637]

Great video. Maybe the blast doors are all colored different is to minimize confusion in emergency they can just say close red doors close green doors. Idk just my guess.

[@OlavXO]

Thanks:) I think you`re on to something.

[@LambdaCat57]

XD ong what is it with the black mesa music. all joking aside great video

[@OlavXO]

I absolutely love that soundtrack. Also, Joel Nielsen was kind and gave me permission to use his music.

[@dougsimerly6829]

Awesome Olav, thanx

[@OlavXO]

And thank you for watching, sir.

[@Triadii]

If my country had a bunker this big, it would be fenced up and gaurded 24/7. I was lucky enough to find a small ww2 bunker though and posted it on my channel

[@abhim6159]

Amazing video!! I wish I could be there!

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much:)

[@SoundtrackOfOurLives]

Hi I like your videos, liked and subscribed :) how do you know so much about bunkers you look so young?

[@OlavXO]

Hi there:) I really apprecita that you take the time to tell me that you like my videoes:) I know alot because I read alot and go there and see the places with my own eyes. I also serve in the army:) Thank you for watching, sir.

[@SoundtrackOfOurLives]

You are welcome sir Olav :)

[@bonehead292yblock5]

I'm assuming that this would be use by west German forces and sealed in case of Soviet Invasion?

[@michaelledford4751]

I simply cannot imagine firing small arms like an M-14 thru those readout slots much less firing 50 cal machine guns ,the non dampened walls and floor would have deafening spl levels well over 180db which is nearly impossible to not go deaf .

[@southtexasprepper1837]

I'm sure that because of the current War in Ukraine, the Norwegian Government may look into bringing some of these Bunkers back online. If not, I'm sure that some rich civilian might want to approach the Norwegian Government, purchase them and bring them back up to spec for private use.

[@adnanhajdarpasic5019]

That’s facilitating 👍

[@rolosgamingch18]

would be nice if you spoke to us while you explore and film

[@OlavXO]

I am still considering this for future projects. Thanks for feedback, sir:)

[@marcofpv1534]

Olav XO i actually like it this way with the text in the screen, it gives a scary/creepy feeling!

[@windowsfan95]

Kul video, fortsett med dette.

[@OlavXO]

Takk for det, Øyvind:)

[@JenkemDungeon]

By the looks of the candles, someone was staying there for sometime.

[@fumax78]

gracias por subir estos videos

[@OlavXO]

Don`t know what that means:)

[@irvan36mm]

With everything going on in the East, wonder if the Norwegian govt has any plans to refurbish this bunker for possible future use.

[@1995error]

Flotte videoer :). Hvilke filtre pleier du å bruke. Er det godt nok med P100 filter, eller bruker du mer?

[@OlavXO]

Skulle ønske jeg hadde noen heftige betegnelser og komme med her nå, men sannheten er at jeg ofte er uten særlig bra utstyr. Jobber med å få ordna meg bedre masker nå. Takk for fin tilbakemelding:)

[@thetruth7633]

Door colors because of different zones inside the bunker f.e. Yellow is generator room.

[@RadioactiveSaddam]

Fantastic place!

[@OlavXO]

I think so too:) Thanks for watching.

[@garyjones2582]

How long could you live there without be detected... very cool place...

[@OlavXO]

Oh hey, buddy:) I guess you could have stayed there for sometime, but it`s somehow close to some big cities so I doubt it would be long before someone noticed:) Thanks for watching.

[@lankie44]

Very interesting. I like how you explore but don't set up fake shots by moving items to attempt to make photos more dramatic. Stay safe if you decide to "fiddle" on future explorations. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@OlavXO]

Thank you for a really nice feedback:) I will try my best to please you in future "fiddlings":)

[@n0sl1w]

Really cool!

[@OlavXO]

Thank you:)

[@AT-le8xu]

good work buddy!

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much:)

[@danielfultz3421]

I think it's nice with no music, makes it more real. And I don't know but my guess on the different colored doors would be maybe to make it a little bit less disorienting for the people inside? Just my guess

[@OlavXO]

Thank you for your feedback, man:) You are partly right in your assumption; the colored doors are there to tell military personell new to the place how to navigate in a dire situation.

[@saranshjain2]

good job olav !

[@OlavXO]

Thank you, sir:)

[@virus_In_Lullaby]

nice explore

[@OlavXO]

Thanks mate:)

[@Ozzieyy]

Its one of my dreams to go exploring things like this but here in the small Netherlands there is literally almost nothing to explore everything is under strict control.... fml

[@RewolutionPL]

good condition wow

[@rolifiu]

I would love to start this generators, touch every button. But one thing, I'm wondering where is the other end of phone lines connected? I would like to use any who will be answering :)

[@OlavXO]

That`s a good point. The answer is; I have absolutely no idea. Shit, I have to go back there now;(

[@marsberg8943]

heyo, prøver å finne nye steder å explore. Virker som om du har god peiling på det her, så lurte på om du har noen tips til steder på østlandet?

[@OlavXO]

Hei, beklager sent svar, men uansett så namedropper jeg aldri locations public. Men sjekk ut lokalmiljøet ditt etter tilfluktsrom, du vil bli overaska over hvor mange av de som står åpne og/eller forlatt:) Takk for at du så på:)

[@ElFimpo]

Is this farther up in Sweden? It looks swedish 😊

[@BillBlast7372]

Why are there small holes in the concrete walls??

[@Stanceboii]

Olav, i`ll have a bunker near me, but it is very small, how can i contact u, and give u the location of it?

[@OlavXO]

CaPtAiN_BrUnOsT Hey. You can contact me on [e-mail] and let we'll talk there:) thanks!

[@masonmalonedrums]

How do you work up the guts to go in there by yourself I mean there's just no way I could do it

[@OlavXO]

I get this question alot. I don`t really think it`s a matter of working up your guts that defines this, I think it`s a matter of just how curious you are and how badly you want to know what the inside looks like that counts. It might seem dangerous or scary when you view this video and are unable to choose what comes around the next corner. When you walk into places like this alone the first thing that hits you is the total silence; you hear absolutely nothing except your own breath and heartbeat and it really sharpen your senses. I think that if you were with someone or had the proper time to adjust to your surroundings, you could explore this place too, don`t underestimate yourself before you`ve tried:) Thank you so much for watching:)

[@Nguyen_kalashnikov]

where is this bunker i want to go there and start my new life :)))))

[@tommoproductions213]

At 6:52 what are those red things on the table?

[@OlavXO]

Aye, those are candle-torches. Probably someone had a seanse in there or something;) Thanks for watching.

[@zvonimirspehar4450]

You are amazing, tell me, how long are you inspired and dare to explore such places..?

[@zvonimirspehar4450]

There is a really big bunker in Croatia with underground tunnels that lead thru entire city, I am dare to explore and take a footage, it will be also ower on the channel this summer, if you wanna see.... You are inspiring me every day! ;D

[@OlavXO]

Dude, it pleases me aot to hear that I inspire you, it really does:) I really don`t think much about the dark and scary part, I just press on to see what`s inside, and I`sure you can do it also, just be careful:) Thank you so much for watching:)
