Fortress Depot Underground Bunker system! Part 3

[@Riesy33]

This world would be a MUCH better place if we had more Alan’s in it.

[@inlangford]

There are many Alan's, they just go under the radar.....

[@RelaxaciseMaster-COD]

Like he said 😊

[@TheologicalDissident]

Alan is literally a one-man Army Corps of Engineers. I am always blown away by the effort, ethic and attitude of this man.

[@laurahaaima1436]

agree.. me too

[@pamelaremel7477]

I think that's looking real good! Solid& sturdy. Hang in there Alan, we're rooting for you!

[@RussCarey]

Alan, yore an inspiration to many! Keep up the great videos.

[@martinmurphy3868]

ALAN you are one Awesome strong Dude. Welcome back

[@duaneayers6117]

Definitely have the right man on the job. Slowly but surely you're getting there.

[@jimkhana007]

It’s amazing what humans can do and achieve… But it’s even more amazing what this single wizard can do all by himself - often in the worst conditions! I just watch in awe and have to applaud the tenacity and ingenuity of this man 👏👏👏👏👏

[@jeffreebailey4464]

Yeah..me too.. But I would love to see him complete and enjoy the property during this lifetime.

[@jimkhana007]

@ agreed. Didn’t diesel Dave do a call out at one point to ask people to come and help, I bet Alan refused it and don’t want other people there interfering

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

Good grief @Alan !! I’ve lifted those dang cross ties before in the past.. numerous times.. You make them look like feathers!! 😂😂 I honestly don’t know how you go the way you do.. it’s truly admirable!! Stay blessed brother!! And DEFINITELY stay healthy!!

[@grumpyguysoutdoors]

I always look forward to watching you work and seeing your progress..

[@fatblokes_ferguson]

Where you are at know shows your previous plans about how it will look and it makes perfect sense. The weight of the train sleepers are not light, you are doing very well by yourself. Great job Wizard 👏

[@Ellis157]

Dude Allen you're a beast

[@ericfallis6202]

It's looking awesome good work 😊

[@Buckshothill]

About time Alan thought you gave up on making videos and i felt so sad that i finally found a video that i really liked then no videos. I know your busy with dave sparks but i can't wait to see your videos. Thanks my friend keep up the good work.😊😊😊😊

[@Moby1048]

Great to see you - can't wait for the next video!

[@johndean2925]

Alan is a machine!!! Wish him the best in all his endeavors!

[@DirectCurrent4u]

Super nice work my friend!!👍

[@kellyhill4410]

I'm looking forward to the day you move into the mountain fortress. You've got a lot of work ahead of you, and I can't wait to see the next video this is an awesome adventure Alan. Thanks for taking us with you ❤️ 🤜🌟🤛💯🤠

[@Incorruptus1]

Yes! Great to see you Allen working onward, always fun to watch! Much in life come with a certain rule; How to eat an Elephant, well piece by piece! Good luck!

[@whipsnadepoacher]

You are one amazing builder.

[@MaxfromKs]

Mr. Wizard That was amazing!!! The bunker is coming along nicely!! Take care be careful and safe!!! I will see you on the next video.by for now!!

[@erickillg811]

Alan you are a beast, it’s amazing how much you get done each time. Keep up the great work love watching the videos. Can’t wait till the fortress is finished. Things are looking great already.

[@Ellis157]

Yes my night just got even better it's the Allen show and the mountain experience I love it

[@rodneyprimm5984]

Thank you for sharing. God bless 🙏

[@billhigginsbottom2191]

Loving this as usual! 😃

[@Hootman865]

We need to raise money so we can have a modular metal building dropped off for Alan. One that’s already together so he can focus on the fortress

[@deeannmcginnis2115]

That looks like a hard day's work. I am really looking forward to video tour of the finished depot!

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

Coming around nicely

[@peterouellette3874]

Nice going Allen

[@libb3n]

You're great Alan! Keep being a Wizard! Have you ever done a AMA video about your endevours in life and why the fort and how you manage to work on it money wise etc etc? For sure many of us would love hearing your story! Unless it has already been done and I have missed it!

[@ericspnw8385]

Yay, my favorite from Utah

[@sdstube8061]

Keep em coming Alan. Enjoying the videos mate.

[@LLJW4]

Great to see Alan, wishing you all the best for 2025! Honestly I prefer your videos to Sparks', but also love seeing you doing wizard things over there!

[@donaldfitzgerald8950]

Happy New Year Wizard! Glad to see ya made it thru the big snow bash/party at Big D's and didn't freeze in the hot tub Lol! Keep it happening brother, we got blessed with another one! Lol! ⚒️👍🤠

[@joedatuknow]

Take care Allan 🙏

[@genebrant9968]

Can't wait to see it done.

[@mikeygunz9763]

I love it when the WIZARD posts ❤❤❤ I wonder how many volunteers would raise their hands if the WIZARD called upon us for help with the FORTRESS. ❤❤❤❤😊

[@SniffinTrout]

Weatherman Allen here😂😂

[@Ellis157]

Would it be possible to pre-drill the beam before you set it up there Then all you'd have to do is just drill through the preexisting hole into the upright beam be a lot easier on your arms Just a thought

[@Fadeaw4y]

He does not have the required precision to line everything up as he doesn't make a real wood joint. That's ok but i would suggest getting a bigger drill.

[@Assassinlexx]

The drill you should look at Milwaukee hole hog. To make a big difference in screwing lag screws etc. Is a good coat of anti-seize. It works as a great lubricant in wood. What's your plan for waterproof you underground and water penetration in the floor?

[@chrishall9208]

Good job sir!

[@RelaxaciseMaster-COD]

Alan. Missed you bro. Keep fighting the good fight.

[@ressybastien6002]

What a work !

[@matthewholzinger1042]

Look for date nails on the ties. The head will have a number, such as 48, which would be 1948. Maybe not worth much, but they are an interesting collectible.

[@quebecflat6137]

It would be great to see some "time-laps" of your work, not only the result ! Please ! Love your channel !👍

[@RustedWrench]

Keep up the great work ! Let us know if you want a helping hand building !

[@speedyg2577]

Ya know what they say how do you eat a T-REX one bite at a... oh heck no the T-REX eats you for sure. 🦖

[@jeffreebailey4464]

Thats exactly what we are witnessing here..

[@billsrq1788]

Hello from Siesta Key Florida

[@shk2564]

When I do things I try and bring everything with me to save time and energy. Bring the pin and hammer with you and use a generator and corded drill. You will get twice as much done in the same amount of time.

[@steven.h0629]

See you on the next video 👍😎✊

[@MrMatto84]

Remember years ago we got some railway sleepers man they are heavy

[@clarencewiles963]

With all the winches you have I’m surprised that you didn’t make a Derick to do something to lift the weight. But Thumbs up 👍

[@LorenzoB-w5d]

12:43 Alan, instead of swinging a hammer and blowing out your shoulder pinning those logs. Grab your SDS Max hammer drill, put it in hammer mode with a grounding rod bit… I know the wizard like swinging that hammer, but save your shoulders, especially since you’re up there balancing! Keep up the great work/content!

[@edloveshiswifee]

Allan utility companies use a gasoline power saw which is easier and faster might be worth looking into

[@miroslavmajer5155]

The asfalt in the train wood blocks is VERY dangerous to breath! Making a bunker from it is a bad idea.

[@just4giggles-ex5ne]

Not asphalt, creosote and other chemicals to keep them from rotting and eaten by bugs but yes dangerous to breath and cut with a chainsaw. This structure is illegal according to EPA regulations.

[@dazzwells9011]

MAD GREAT WILD who do that. what a person and why hevey d hired him. a warrioer.

[@greenlanternseven]

Hello Alan from Meaford Ontario Canada, i was curious if you should put construction adhesive in the drilled holes before putting in rebar

[@303coconut]

After watching you sometimes struggle I see where one of those man lifts such as JLG makes. In addition to easily lift you safely (we worry about you working alone) those lifts can easily lift a lot and can be driven from the platform and power is also available so adding an electric winch to move beams easily is now a back and knee saver. With your expertise you could find a tired one cheap and rehab it. Just a thought Brother.. keep up the good work and more videos, even if they're shorties

[@alexx8f2b]

When using railroad ties to build a wooden tunnel structure and drilling into them, there are some health and safety considerations to keep in mind, even if you're wearing gloves. 1. **Creosote Exposure**: Railroad ties are often treated with creosote, a chemical preservative. When drilling into them, small particles of creosote can be released into the air, which you could inhale or come into contact with through skin exposure, even with gloves on. The creosote can irritate your skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and prolonged exposure is linked to more serious health problems, including cancer. 2. **Gloves**: While wearing gloves helps to minimize direct skin contact, it’s important to ensure they are thick and durable to prevent creosote from seeping through. Also, after working with railroad ties, you should wash your hands and the gloves thoroughly to remove any residue. 3. **Ventilation**: When drilling into railroad ties, especially in a confined space like a tunnel, it's important to ensure good ventilation. This helps reduce the risk of inhaling toxic fumes or particles that might be released during the drilling process. 4. **Dust and Debris**: Drilling into the ties creates dust that could contain creosote particles. This dust can irritate your lungs or cause other respiratory issues if inhaled. Using a dust mask or respirator rated for chemical exposure would be a good precaution. 5. **Protective Measures**: In addition to gloves, consider wearing protective goggles or face shields to prevent debris from getting into your eyes. You should also use a respirator or dust mask to protect your lungs. To summarize, while gloves provide some protection, it's crucial to take extra safety measures, such as using a respirator, ensuring proper ventilation, and thoroughly cleaning up after handling railroad ties to reduce the risk of creosote exposure.

[@mford66215]

Alan, you have machines that will reach well above where you lift those ties. Could you safely rig a cable and pulley system to help position them?

[@ericfallis6202]

Hay wizard 😊

[@CoffGrid]

lol now i want to build a bunker in my garden

[@nellieblankenship1115]

You're awesome 😎 ! Such a hard worker 💪🙏🏻 F.Y.I. I'm not flirting or looking for a husband, I just call em' like I see em'! Yes" the world would be a better place with more Alan's ."

[@johnkisner1010]

Just curious as to why you didn’t back you military crane truck over there to help you lift those ties.

[@B-leafer]

Alan, Forgive me please, somehow I missed what you are building with all those ties? What are you looking to accomplish, what structure are you making? Sorry..

[@rhondamoore1682]

What direction is your Fortress from there? If you don't mind my asking. I get so confused when I try to see if it's behind you somewhere....❤❤❤

[@ss-gc9qq]

600+ feet directly above him, he's at the bottom of the mountain here

[@ericspnw8385]

How heavy are those ties

[@jamesscott9081]

I'd love to see the grand picture of this thing. Could you draw it out for us? Are you going to tunnel to the bunker uptop??!

[@ss-gc9qq]

There's no way unfortunately--his block fortress is 600+ feet above this video's bunker.

[@rayphillips332]

You should be wearing knee pads they really do help

[@davidwalker8360]

One man band! Can we get a group of people together to help or even get his boss and crew to come help him with fortress and make some good content since diesel brothers channel gone down hill since hunter leaving.

[@truthp2w326]

There's no oil in that beam, damn.

[@npsit1]

It's cool and all, but aren't you worried about the wood rotting away?

[@michaelbronner1565]

Thanks for the update great video as always

[@thedude2582]

Hey Alan, did you ever find out who that guy was that was trespassing on your property? You posted it on one of your videos a while back. Just wondering.

[@richardbrooks3569]

I know you have worked hard on this project but I am still trying to figure out what the heck you are doing.

[@Mcdyver1.]

If Alan sold or even traded some of his stuff, he could drive a brand new truck instead of an old shi*box of a car and have enough left over to pave his road up to the fortress!

[@smudger797]

🤠

[@shk2564]

A generator and corded drill would be a lot faster!

[@edloveshiswifee]

I didn't proof read I meant to say gas drill

[@murphymmc]

Alan, a time and effort saver; Get a five gallon bucket to put the rebar, extra battery, 4lb.sledge, drill/bit into, tie a light rope to the bail, throw the rope over the beam so you can have all the stuff needed to set the pins. Haul it up when you need it. one trip up, one trip down. A good habit to get into, making provision to keep all needed tools and hardware where you need when working off the ground. Unless, of course, you enjoy climbing up and down for the exercise.😆 I applaud you for dealing with all the contrived drama that Sparks throws out. It became too tiresome for me.

[@GeoffGummer]

Dude, with your attitude to work, life, and getting things done, we could make you an honourary New Zealander (yes, we spell honour with a u, we're not savages :P). We dont make people honourary New Zealanders lightly you know.

[@brly9243]

Hope you have leather underwear for splinter protection 😂😂❤!

[@justnana2256]

Better start making your bunker livable and self sustainable. Things are going downhill fast all over the world and the USA will definitely be affected in life-changing ways, none of them good. ❤️👍🇺🇲

[@Nuf_Nivah]

I thought Dave was supposed to be get some viewers to come help

[@Ellis157]

I can't remember do you actually have a living space you have up there at the mountains you don't have to keep driving back home every time you're out there working can't remember if you showed us

[@davidx593]

Yes he does.. in the lower LVL of the compound where his work shop is he has a bed there ...when he needs to lay up.

[@B-leafer]

Drill bit is dead. Needs sharpening..

[@Golden-69]

You need some help Alan! Life is short.

[@yonihales9133]

Real women want Alen all men who are not want to be an Alen

[@51zebra]

Great video! A lot of hard work, it will all be worth it in the end when it is done. Love watching ALL of your videos. You should consider getting a roto hammer drill to drive the rebar into the beams. Here is a link to a video I found showing how easy it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4Ovi31sgqxmhqs

[@urbanjansson4408]

It cant be nice too build with that material 😮😮😮😮😮 Content soo much creosot Dont inhale that

[@MartinWallden]

Hello from Sweden. Why dont you just sell all the wood and buy a couple of shipping containers and weld them together instead?

[@YeahNa64]

Probably because its an underground bunker so shipping containers would not support the weight of the soil and would have to be reinforced which is basically what his doing now

[@FreedomCycles]

Nothing quite hits like an 20+min @MtnFortressLabs

[@joshwoodburn3828]

Your videos are so damn boring you do more talking/explaining then you are doing, my opinion people are more interested in you doing then talking/explaining

[@christopherleblanc9599]
