Sitting 55 Years 1958 VW BUS Found Buried in a Stream - woods of NH

We found a rare Vw Bus in the woods of NH. These old Volkswagens have been parked for over 50 years on this abandoned old homestead. They are buried in a stream, it will be take a monumental effort to rescue them. They will be saved ! Bulli, split bus, kombi, van, vw.

I reckon you're overdue for another aircooled vw project Mustie! Maybe you're here checking out some possibilities! ... Just need a vision they tell me.

Use 6-8 sheets of 5/8 OSB as a path to slide that thing out. Egyptian style. Happy to see these rescued!

You are proving how you are a hard, hard-core VW guy. What an effort to reclaim those "pieces" which were maybe a year away from being fully reclaimed by mother earth. Well on their way to basic iron ore. LOL.

[@adrielrowley]

13:43 Jay, but you fighting against it and winning encouraged me to keep working even when felt like crud, plus severe pain, due to my chronic illness/condition, knowing your condition. So, you had a part in helping me get Dad's 1964 Beetle he bought in 1968 on the road, so I can go to medical appointments. Wish you were not on the opposite corner of the USA, would buy you lunch. By the way, up at five to attempt to get the shifter adjusted so not going into reverse. DayQuil thankfully took some of the nausea away. Well, better get out there before gets any later, just wanted to give you a big thank you. Cheers, Adriel

[@brianandrews7099]

I think you would have been better off trying to recover that bus at the end of winter or very early spring, before the greenhouse grew back in and the heat set in. I got to hand it to you for your tenacity in trying to rescue it; I would’t touch that task with a “ten foot pole”!

[@stevelangston2359]

Another ride on the Struggle Bus!

[@johnmayer158]

Hey Jay, Why dont you try "conning" Mustie to bring his backhoe tractor and some 2x10s or 12s for making a path for him to drive on. And also allow for the backhoe to dig/lift to get things out. Not to mention move that old ford galaxie.

[@williamtanner1372]

I admire your perseverance. You do excellent rescues but some need to be left behind. That place is evil so time to walk away. But it's great content for the channel.

[@Wiltshire_watcher]

That place is very spooky indeed. I’m wondering if you could construct some sort of robust frame above and around that bus and use it to winch the chassis upward enough to move it with a winch ?. All those trees might come in handy for support ….

[@plymouths1]

I've seen this movie, I think its called "A River Runs Through It"

[@tolbaszy8067]

Fortunately, you have a crew to finish up the dirty work and an air conditioned RV to retire into! Excellent videography! I didn't even get a hint of any support crew, like all those Chinese women in the wilderness videos employ!

[@TheFurriestOne]

Now that's what I call a Carcheological dig! Too rocky at my favorite wrecking yard to do much digging, though I have pulled the rare prize out of the top few inches of dirt when I spot some stainless trim peeking out of the ground... Dang near need a dredger to clear the land around that bus! Looks like the dolly used to move it was still under that upper remnant of a bus, might be worth saving if it's not too rotten. Heavy-duty casters! Should pull better on its roof. How's that song go...? "One piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime..." Just a ton of sweat-equity!

[@ricktaylor14001]

I’ve been following this “recovery”, and have to admire your tenacity and think the memories and bonding you’ve had with your son are all awesome. But I HAVE to ask…. what makes this worth your while? I just don’t get it (and I’m serious, not trying to be rude at all), what makes this van worth it? If someone offered me half a million to get this out, well I’d do it because I’d hire heavy machinery and yank everything out, but there is NO way anyone is making that offer. So what can this be worth? As it sits it’s worth what, $1500…. MAYBE? Even if I’m way off and it’s worth 10k… how is that worth ALL the extremely HARD tedious work for you? I haven’t even added in the driving TIMES back and forth. I get that this is a passion I can’t understand because I see these differently (and I love cars), but truly I see a heap of metal not worth anything. That’s probably why I’m watching, I’m dying to see what you do to this bus…and that’s a long way away I’d guess. So… what makes this worth what you’ve got into it? Please & thanks! 🤠👍🏼☮️ PS…. Don’t ever go alone there again man!! If you’d have landed on something sharp when you tripped… who would have been able to help you?? BRING someone with you next time!! Always.

[@yellamo8890]

Do you happen to know any of the history of the place at all? Also it would be really cool to see a glimpse of inside that big old haunted house next time if you’re game enough to venture in 👻 love you videos, keep up the great work ❤

[@5150mxVW]

I'll see what i can find out. I've been sitting here thinking of some of the other things that happened out there I didn't mention....there has been so many .... even just the last time when i was getting the roof out my passenger door just closed on it's own . the Qx 56 doors are heavy and awkward too .... they don't close all the way unless you really close them like an old big 2 door ford galaxie .... it closed !

[@yellamo8890]

@@5150mxVW Some places have a strong energy about them for sure. I do a lot of renovation work in over here in New Zealand working in mostly very old houses. Most of the time it’s pretty uneventful but very occasionally I’ll work in a place like this where those strange, unexplainable things like you mention happen enough times to have me wondering who else is there watching. Thanks for the reply

[@corey6393]

Years ago, I cut the roof off a well trashed '60 15 window in Northern MN. I could only get within 150' with my trailer. Flipped it upside down as you did, clamped a rope to it at the center windshield pillar, and dragged it with all my might. Would have slid easier if the roof wasn't crusted over with lichen. Ended up setting it right side up on some wide sawhorses, and trailering it 1400 miles across the Dakotas and Montana to get home.

[@bhhenry]

"Okay, listen up. I’ve seen some strange things in my time, but the mystery of these cars in the woods might just take the cake. First off, let’s consider the evidence: the stream, the poison ivy, the tight space. You might think it’s just an unfortunate coincidence, but I’m not so sure. What if these cars were abandoned here for a reason far beyond what we can see? Think about it: why would anyone leave perfectly good cars to rot in the forest? The answer might lie in something supernatural. Maybe these woods are cursed, and anything left here is bound to be swallowed by nature, never to be seen again. Or perhaps there’s something extraterrestrial at play. These cars could have been used by aliens for experiments, then discarded like yesterday’s trash once they were done. Consider the weird weather patterns. It’s like the forest has a mind of its own, constantly trying to reclaim what’s been taken from it. The constant rain, the strange noises, the trees growing into the cars-these aren’t just natural occurrences. They’re signs of something more. Maybe these woods are a hotspot for paranormal activity, a Bermuda Triangle of sorts for vehicles. And what about the objects found in and around the cars? The woolly mammoth tusk, the mummy-like object, the old horseshoes-these are relics of a past that doesn’t quite fit into our timeline. It’s as if the forest is a portal, drawing in artifacts and people from different eras and dimensions. Lastly, the idea that these cars are somehow linked to a broader conspiracy can’t be ruled out. Perhaps they were part of a government experiment gone wrong, or a secret project that was abandoned when things got out of control. The cars were left behind, a testament to something that was never meant to be discovered. In any case, the truth is out there, hidden in the dense foliage and murky waters of these woods. We just have to dig deeper, look beyond the obvious, and embrace the wild speculation that might just lead us to the answer. Because in the end, isn’t that what we’re all searching for? The truth, no matter how strange or unbelievable it may be."

[@jaws6869]

As you look at that ford from the rear theres a big tree to the left ,what if you attach a large winch about 10 foot up the tree and the end to each of the fords wheels in turn. It might be possible to walk it away from the bus a few feet. Might also be possible to get some help from someone local with a track machine in return for some free advertising on your channel.

[@dep-t1o]

That’s for your work

[@stephenricketts7764]

It is a shame your engineering works from last year have partly failed but you can redo them. I think it is very likely that the bus roof was saved for the other bus. I say that because they seem to have cut it with care and a lot of other stuff is just dumped all around and this is not squashed. Jason take care man if you get injured there then no one will know and you need at least one good knee! 👍👍
