Fortress Depot Bunker area build

[@kaceesavage]

I think Alan underestimates how much we like to see tons of dirt moved with old equipment. 😁

[@claireseyeviewonredbubble]

Nnoooo! Wizards are always interesting!

[@kaceesavage]

@@claireseyeviewonredbubble for sure! I’m talking about how he was saying that moving dirt with old equipment was boring.

[@claireseyeviewonredbubble]

@@kaceesavage 😁

[@olivierrun8364]

Totally... I feel that he thinks he needs to talk on videos to be interesting while it's almost the opposite. People like to see some big work like that.

[@peezdoc]

Yes!!! I actually got kinda sad that we weren't able to watch him move all the dirt with old equipment...

[@asbestomolesto]

PLEASE consider filming some of your "annoying work" for us. I find it very entertaining, relaxing and also inspiring. You are the reason that pushed me to fix my shop doing some work, and sometime I work in my shop with some of your video in the background. You say that it is tedious and there's no point in filming that, but I will say that many of us here are craving for that kind of content, so please consider doing that :) Just turn on the camera and do what you do. We will like it :) It's nice to have you back here :D Greetings from Sicilia, Italy!

[@AndreGreeff]

well... if storage space for the raw footage is not an issue, then this would indeed be cool! for the sake of "the internet" though, it would probably work best as a high-speed time lapse with some funky music... :) it definitely does help to portray exactly how much work was needed to get it done! but to be fair, we should also keep in mind that this wizard is a genuine one-man show, and editing gets exponentially harder with that kind of footage to work with.. me thinks Alan could use the help from someone with those particular skills. 🤔

[@lamarzimmermanmennonitefar5269]

He needs a suction cup mount for the windshield and a good tripod. The chest rig isn't the best view for loader operation

[@HeartTurnedToStone]

I'm thinkin' Alan needs to strap a Go-Pro to his forehead while doing this stuff so we can get an "Alans Eye View".

[@curtiswilcock5628]

I very agree o love this channel he’s got going on

[@darrylbirt6049]

Hey Al, I gotta say that if it weren't for Dave, I wouldn't know who you were but I've been here since the first interaction and I am here until the end mate! You are one of the smartest people I've ever seen and your time spent with Spark's only enriches your quirky style and humour. All the best from down under mate!

[@curtiswilcock5628]

Your not wrong there mate he’s a fantastic guy such a loyal hard worker

[@tylerc161]

I wish we could like literally just instantly get 4 mil subs and hella income for Alan and hella help and see this all finished in 5 years. PUMP THIS UP BOISSS

[@HeartTurnedToStone]

FIVE years❔❔❔ I was thinking more like 1-2. LOL I'd be like a little kid in a candy store if I was lucky enough to have a project like that. While Alan's digging more tunnels, bunkers & moving dirt, he needs someone at the fortress finishing up the interior, floors, etc... I'll volunteer!

[@Machines.In.Action]

Looks like the apocalypse vehicles are assembling! Mad Max would be proud! 💪

[@13thTechnology]

This place is like finding a goldmine of vintage trucks!

[@microcyber]

Next step - restoring one for a road trip to the bunker ⛰

[@simonworthington3330]

The Man who can move mountains. Very impressed with what you do M8

[@seashackf1]

Alan, you may think just moving dirt is boring and not worthy of a video, but there are successful YT channels based on it. People will definitely watch you doing it especially with old equipment. Some just to see it run, others it’ll bring back memories of running it themselves. At the very least set up a time lapse or speed up a video and condense hours of footage into minutes like Andrew Camarata does. Just get a video out there so you can make some money to help pay for the fortress.

[@timothyrill3825]

Great to find you working on the property. Never apologies. You have a great work ethic and a project for every day. Thank you for sharing with us.😊

[@nada7.077]

Well hi Wizard, long time no see!! I just knew once you got the hydraulics fixed on that big old Michigan that it would come in handy and accomplish a lot for you! Thank you for the final view, it was indeed awesome! ❤️🙏

[@simonspry3137]

You should set up a wide angle camera and make timelapses of you moving the dirt. I would totally watch that.

[@timmyssweet]

Nice work Alan. That’s impressive what that loader could do especially without teeth. It would be great to see a gantry crane in your new workshop to help you out. We would all like to see life getting easier for you on the mountain.

[@jagmasters7392]

Dirt you say? Moving lots of it? Dust storms, yard development. That’s interesting to me😊 It’s you, your personality and way of doing things that’s interesting to us Fortress fans.

[@curtiswilcock5628]

He’ll ya brother sure is 😊

[@jamessr79]

Allan there are those of us that like to see dirt move with old pieces of equipment. So it may be boring work, but I'm sure there will be people that watch. Thanks for the video update. I hope you have a great week and get some rest..

[@RandomGus420]

Alans back, nice..

[@backtoobasics]

Bunker platform looks great wizard!! Thank you for helping recover that man and bringing his family closure

[@lisawilson4551]

Happy to see a new video keep up the hard work, it’s looking awesome 😀👍❤️

[@danrussell3439]

You did and you are doing a lot of amazing work for one person with not exactly the right equipment. Please stay safe

[@danrose3621]

Alan with all the things you have I can’t believe you don’t have a big ass bulldozer

[@mrmongo6722]

Keep it moving Allen you are one impressive gentleman.

[@harleyshihtzu5558]

Mr wizard I haven’t seen anybody as persistent as you. Great job luv the channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@yetibremsstrahlung9018]

Nice progress!! You should film moveing all the dirt to! There is channels that have a little automatic robot mower that peole subscribe and pay to watch and you working is far more entertaining that that! Just saying! Keep up the progress man love it!!! Keep pushing

[@rjangrindevoll3772]

You are such an inspiration Alan :-) God Bless You!

[@f.k.burnham8491]

Thanks for the update. I hope you can get most of the dirt moved before the snow hits.

[@faelsinnes]

Interesting , trying to put a downslope road on plane with an old michigan..... it is amazing that you actually do succeed. Pleased that Heavy D found your forstress and put it on air.

[@martinmurphy3868]

Welcome back Alan missed your videos You are one hard worker Love all your Junk especially those Dodge duece and a halves

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

Wow, you have a busy wizard!

[@morophineswordphich8229]

Holy shit, you weren't kidding about the hard work. That old rig looks like the biggest hassle to drive I've ever seen!

[@astikennel]

Nothing short of amazing! But as others have said, please do consider filming at random as we like to watch it all! I no longer watch regular TV but choose excellent, entertaining and educational youtube channels, yours is one of them!

[@beaverc2884]

Alan, you have got to be the crazy hardest working person on the net. Thanks for the videos. 😊

[@GOATED49]

CONGRATULATION ON THE SUCCESS OF YOUR CHANNEL.....WIZARDS UNITE...

[@Motormike2025]

Nice to see you back Alan . But I was really hoping to see you start to work on the fortress again. But I do enjoy everything you're doing. Thanks for sharing.

[@SharonMiller-po6rp]

You remind me of my dad. His name was Barney and we said his projects were Barneyized. Your's must be Alanized. Miss him and really enjoy your channel.

[@HeartTurnedToStone]

I'm so jealous! I want a huge underground bunker too! I only have ¼ acre. I'm starting to dig a Secret Room (Bunker) under my house. Doing it ONE 5 gallon bucket at a time. LOL Slow going because it's hard packed clay. Might as well be concrete. Hahahaaaa. Will you be able to access your bunker from the Fortress? And were you able to finish your window installation? Wish I could have all your rocks - need them for my landscaping. LOL Looking forward to your next video.

[@heidiho7659]

Hey Alan, we know you’re working hard even when we don’t see a video from you. Appreciate all the videos you share with us! You are amazing and I love to see all the things you can do. You are so gifted. God bless you!

[@clarencewiles963]

Setup a hillside camera and just let it run. 🏃‍♂️ do a voice over and send. Yes we seen it before but. Thumb up 👍

[@sc7568]

Only the Wizard can move a mountain! 👍

[@pauljoseph8338]

The internet would explode if Alan and Marty T did a collab. Imagine how many worn out, dead, decrepit old machines could be brought back to life. 🚜

[@Mike.trucks]

Heck yeah man,Marty T is also a legend ❤❤

[@pamelaremel7477]

I thoroughly enjoy watching you move dirt! Yes, your equipment isn't top of the line but it WORKS! It's not in a scrap yard somewhere. Hats off to you!!!

[@doublecross9690]

Finish the fortress before starting on another massive project

[@TheTorkerman]

That’s a massive amount of work Allen, amazing. And the bunker pad is looking awesome! I’d love an hour long dirt moving Timelapse👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@arthursilva6140]

Hello Mr Wizard. Glad to see you back here after your absence. We all look forward to your videos and love to see your progress on the fortress. God bless and keep the videos coming.

[@Container-shop-guy]

I get the feeling Alan had a hold my beer moment when he couldn't find a nuclear missile silo for sale. Also underground shop 👌.

[@muddypawsadventurer7775]

You are the DIY master of off grid building. Should you decide to, I would like to see a video of ALL your vehicles in your yard. It looks massive. I saw a glimpse of an ol' IH Scout as you walked by once. Plus what plans you have for them. You know, there's a lot of us out here who would jump at the experience just to visit your place... If you need dollars.. 10 people and 100 dollar tours ... we'd line up to visit...

[@WheelchairTrvl]

That Michigan is a hands full. Looking forward to seeing your vision play out. Safe travels

[@charlesurrea1451]

Glad to see you're doing okay. I got an idea for you if you like. I think you should put your camera way up on a pole somewhere up high and just put it on time lapse record. You moving dirt or doing whatever, you don't have to narrate or anything. You can put it up as a short, you could post it as a whole 30 minutes. People are going to watch it regardless, I guarantee. You're the ant in the farm my friend.🐜 I visited my mother in a care home and a number of the other residents where watching KZbin videos of construction sites. No talking, no music, just a window to an active construction site.

[@jimkhana007]

Great to see and hear from you Alan. I’d been wondering how you’ve been getting on with the fortress recently, considering I’d not seen any videos drop and all I have seen of you is appearances in heavy Ds channel and videos. No doubt as much as you need and enjoy your job with those guys I keep wondering how your doing, or if you have the time for your own projects. Good to see your progress and hard work paying off, Quick thought though - I know you don’t get rain that often but is it worth digging any channels or drainage - especially around your ramp areas so if you do get any big storms it isn’t going to ruin or wash away all your hard work? All the best mr friend and look forward to the next update

[@EileenSchultz-s1d]

missed you

[@astikennel]

That chest strap operation was so cool, just like we are driving!! Big machines are so intriguing I'd love to climb on one myself

[@wanaberanch]

WoW - the shot of the clouds …❣️ Thanks!

[@Mike.trucks]

Good to see you Alan.im not sure about everyone else but I'd Love to watch you simply moving dirt..not a fan of sparks so would love to see more of the fortress updates etc.

[@chetlockwood1491]

Alan, I want to apologize. I assumed your activities in the dirt work were random edging toward a little chaotic, You had exactly what you wanted in mind and I mistook your steady diligent work for moving dirt for the sake of moving dirt. You knew exactly what you wanted and how to go about it, my sincere apology. Keep'em coming !!!!

[@jeffreebailey4464]

There seems to be a method with the Wizards Madness throughout this entire project

[@charlesjohnsjr.5809]

Alan always has a plan

[@jorgeoliva3453]

Alex, you are intelligent, you know what you're doing ❤

[@jorgeoliva3453]

I love the army jeep to

[@christopherhale580]

Great video. Thank you!

[@mascambios]

You just know the wizard is packing a massive wand. I'd love to be able to take care of it for him one day.

[@throttlewatch4614]

I love the adventures of Alan

[@wayneirwin-f1z]

Tell us your background and how you ended up with your mountain and all your machines.

[@donaldfitzgerald8950]

OK Wizard, seen ya on Big D's Cold Case, so I knew you were still on this side of the dirt, thank the creator.... Glad to see ya moving dirt, hope ya don't get any heavy rain storms, what a mess that would be! Keep up the amazing work brother...💪🦾👍🤠

[@gordonmurray3153]

Alan, you do recall that in wintertime sometimes you get rain in Utah? Getting a dirt road pooltable flat and smooth imo is maybe not the best set up for draining runoff water coming down your mountain. Your parking area is perhaps going to turn into a swamp, plus your thousand bucket loads of dirt road is also most likely going to get washed out, first solid rain that comes along. Maybe grading a camber into your road, install some french drains with all of those rocks you've got there, to channel that troublesome water out of where you really don't want it. On that; might it be an idea, to replace some of that vegetation you've stripped off your land? Maybe save the soil from being blown away, dustbowl style. Avoid the nuisance of those dust clouds being raised, everytime a wind gets up.

[@Ex_4barz]

alan do a time lapse of you moving and digging out the dirt. i think that would be intresting to watch.

[@johnwinden8511]

Thanks for the posting wizard, I always enjoy them. The steering on your loader seems to have just a wee bit of play. 🤭 I had to look away, I started to get vertigo watching it swinging back and forth.

[@johnkirby6547]

Hi Alan, Glad to see you have been busy and old machine is working great. It's a good idea for the bucket attachment to forklift, you could use those rocks on the hill side to help prevent erosion. Looks really good so far, can't wait to see the next episode.

[@airtek4809]

Beautiful sunset. Gods painting.

[@chrismartin223]

Thank you for the update, Alan :)

[@grumpyguysoutdoors]

I really enjoy watching you play in your sand box. You would be hell with some newer equipment. Wonder if there is a way to trade up some of your toys for some newer toys?

[@deeannmcginnis2115]

You moved a little mountain! Great job! It looks great.

[@Chummybuckt]

This is impressive love to see it! I’d watch a Timelapse of that ole Michigan loader workin!!

[@MrBumbles2]

lol memories of driving old wore out equipment from the 60's . super tight on track steering with min play. and high speed earth moving. lol. at the time hated it but look back at it and it was worth the experience.. from hit n miss motors to slow winches . but it gets the job done lol

[@nellieblankenship1115]

Glad you're back!!

[@tomtetrick]

I’d love to see a drone flyover of your progress!

[@PiezPiedPy]

looks mucho better

[@normplatt7549]

Good show old Bean!

[@VicSwanby]

Man you've been working your ass off. Things are looking good up there. You've got quite a few thousand people that really want to see you succeed in this vision quest you have and a good half of them would be willing to come up to help you achieve that goal. You got one of the coolest properties and to have a castle/ fortress with one of the most beautiful views glad to see a video thanks for the update. I'm a one-man show too so I understand not asking for help but there are times I could really use it.

[@airtek4809]

We are always interested Alan.

[@nanettebarling1222]

Hi Alan! I learned to operate equiptment on machines like that. Its been a long time. Im surprised you dont have a rock crusher. You do nice work with what you have!

[@tohi2care1]

Finding a good used skidsteer might be a good investment. Great channel buddy

[@MaxfromKs]

A big HELLO to you Allen!! It's looking like have made a lot of headway on the work shop bunker!! That road down to the curve looks good!! It's a lotta work. Take care be safe Mister Weezer and I am looking forward to the next video!!!!😮😊😊

Those m715s have always been a favorite of mine, saw one that was restored and functioning in a museum a few years ago, had a chance to buy a m37b1 from my uncle after i graduated high school, but couldn't get the money together.
