WW2 BUNKER - Exploring and Sleeping in an Abandoned Wartime Air-Raid Shelter | Secret Door Located

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

DO YOU THINK I SHOULD I RETURN TO LIFT UP THAT SLAB?

[@gailembleton662]

Yes please return and open it.

[@idagotdinixa442]

Yes please come back because I'm so excited what's under this plate🤭😁😁

[@baxteroliver3319]

Yes!! And bring some tools!

[@juanitafoster9834]

Yes it would be interesting to see what it is.

[@famousfutterittrainer8831]

Yes go back, I think ammo or ordnance storage, keep it outside safe and sound

[@verasileikis17]

🇨🇦❤️Thank you so much Dustin, for speaking about the people that sacrificed so much for our freedom. Most of them are gone now, but I feel so privileged to have been able to personally thank as many as I could, especially on Remembrance Day. I was born nine years after the war ended, so like most people of my generation, we knew families that fought in the war and lost loved ones. I hope that we can keep remembering and appreciate what we have thanks to them.

Firstly, this video is far beyond anything I could dream of producing. It's amazing quality. Secondly, the nerd in me wanted to offer my opinion. It appears to be a Stanton air raid shelter. These were ubiquitous on British WW2 airfields due to their modular design. The segments (aside from the brick entrances) could be carried by men and then quickly assembled and fit together. They liked to position them under trees too as it offered an extra level of camouflage. The reason this probably appears buried is because Stanton air raid shelters would often have earth piled up against them to offer even more protection from flying debris. The top entrance was an escape hatch should the main entrance become damaged or collapsed in. Fantastic video, thank you.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks for watching....checked out your channel, and you know your bunkers! Awesome

[@TrexplorerUK]

@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS Ah, that's really kind of you thanks!

[@MrGoesBoom]

Nice to see places like this that aren't vandalized to hell and back. Old abandoned places like this have always fascinated me. Can't decide if it's cool or sorta sad how many abandoned places there are out there

[@paulchom4464]

Such an awesome well made video. You are a great human being. Mindful, compassionate, empathetic... Thank you for thinking about those who went through it during that time period and thank you for paying tribute and respect to those who never made it back.

[@melodieschwartz5426]

I definitely want to see what it leads to. And even hear more about the history of the area.

[@BraxxJuventa]

You should definitely come back to see that the hatch is just for drainage Dustin. 👍😁

[@claramullen]

What a fantastic find. I can't believe how clean it was in the bunker.

[@mattshaffer5935]

Appreciate your acknowledgment of what our Greatest Generation did for us. Thank you. I’m the 46 year old accident of parents who fought that war. They’re both gone but I am so glad for what they’ve taught me. Dad fought in The Pacific and my Godfather fought in Europe. Gramma was a Riveter. Bless em and bless you Sir! Lift that plate! Probably drainage.

[@kusukacolaylowlee1611]

Good they survive the war

[@jamesellsworth9673]

YES: LIFT UP THAT PLATE! Tell us more about how this particular bunker would have been kitted out 'back in the day.' There probably would have been a ventilator hatch over the chimney and a better doorway/door.

[@bigg490]

tell us anything instead of making a silent nothing

[@beauregardduquesne3831]

I concur with find out with how it was constructed and the specification that go with it!

[@guyinthechai]

This was like an episode of Lost lol. Loved it! Probably drainage but we need to know! Cheers :)

[@davidanderson688]

If it was drainage i would have thought a grill of some kind as that hole could be blocked . A Rawlbolt could be used . Rawlbolts expand as you tighten them trapping the edges of the bolt in the hole ,then attach something to the top of the bolt and pull up . Love your videos very relaxing

[@PenDragonsPig]

The hill across from where I used to live in Cornwall was supposed to have been a decoy for RAF St. Mawgan/Trebelzue in WW2 and the tiny air raid shelter was a long way from the farm house. As kids we kind of dug it up and used it as our camp. I don’t know how the Germans were supposed to confuse a hill 5-6 miles inland for an airfield right on the cliffs.

[@nancyholm2995]

I vote come back with a crowbar! Can’t wait to find out! Plus I want to see the memorial site of the plane crash. Love your videos!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@DaveCampfire]

I think you’ll find it’s a drain, there are several near to me all of the same design and that is the drain access plate/cover.

[@tavoramirez3979]

I agree it is most likely for drainage given its location right at the bottom of the steps and in front of the bunker doorway. Also the fact that it is a bit off-set so it it does not set perfectly in the whole leads me to believe it is a drainage tunnel. But sure. Can't hurt to take a look see, right? Thanks for sharing. Have an awesome day!

[@boonedog1457]

You are killing me man! You've found your Apocalypse Shelter! Love it!

[@Finnarfin]

Yes you should definitely go back and checkout what's underneath the cover. Great video and a awesome meal.

[@ricktimmons458]

buy that 5 acre area. secure that with hard doors and locking grill top doors. that is a gem of a place. TELL NO ONE WHERE IT IS! Looks dry but use a sealing pait primer and critter free that site. if you do take someone there: build a path that goes away from it in several directions. throw grass seeds all over that paths. do all you can to confuse anyone else. bring in a locking tool storage box to store what you need long term.

[@IamBATMAN2024]

Definitely go back and see what’s hidden underneath the plate we need to know lol

[@richlander5874]

Very good camera work, This is a T.V quality production.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

I appreciate your comment 🙏

[@catherine4970]

There’s absolutely no way I’d go down into that bunker. Nope, nope, nope. 😱

[@thesteakdetective]

Wow! Love this Old Chap! What a splendid video and tribute to our brave nation during such a dark and profound period 🇬🇧 That Steak and sauce looked banging. ♨️🙏

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks Dave 🙏

[@vkrazy4568]

GOO BACKKK.. maybe find a bunker you personally like and fix it up put your own touches to it and do another overnighter

[@eldergrief5994]

That's not a bunker, it's the passage leading to a bunker that is behind the sealed door. I would want to know what all is behind said door!

[@maddogreno911]

O yea u got to open it up. I was on edge of my seat waiting for you to figure out how to open it. Maybe make something like a small j hook with hand grip

[@EddieOakes]

Definitely come back and see whats beneath that slab! 😃

[@jimparsons9454]

The way you came down the stairs and the way you pull out that light had horror movie vibes. I would have shat my pants if I was in there seeing you coming.

[@chptourisme]

OK lève la plaque pour voir ce qu'il y a en dessous ! Super vidéo. A+. Christophe.

[@deehox7167]

Wow this is really stepping in the shoes of those who came before. Kudos to you! History...those who do not know the past are destined to repeat it! Thank you for this, and yes lift that plate! I want to know more!

[@pedazz1073]

Yeah you’ve got to lift that slab mate, we need to know what it is 👍🏻 If you manage to find the memorial can you share it with us please

[@ollepearce3116]

In that hole i recon a tunnel system and you should definitely try open it 👍

[@piddy3825]

I'd have to agree that it's probably for drainage considering the hole is located right at the bottom of the stairs. I definitely think you should come back sooner than later, just to open it and satisfy your and our curiosity! I bet there's nothing under the slab besides wet soil. But I'm intrigued none the less!

[@sonandbearbushcraft5957]

If you go back I know someone that knows a bit of history about that place and would be more than happy to share.

[@ArielleViking]

Nice to see the fire piston again. That's a really kool bunker. 💯❤👍

[@OregonMikeH]

Absolutely Fantastic, I'm a WWII history Fanatic. Sure enjoyed it. Later Pal, go get your tools1 .. Mike.

[@FemDeku1969]

Yes you need to go back and try to open it up👍👍

[@steventooV1]

Fantastic dinner! Top sirloin? I bet it’s a drain but you’ll never know until you lift that plate. If you find the memorial would you share please?

[@jvar6862]

Most Defenetly you need to come back and find out what under that slab!! If I know where it is ill open it my self!!👍

[@ianbakedbean4079]

It looks amazing great video oh dude you gotta go back I'm thinking one eyed willy's treasure lol HEY YOU GUYS 👍

[@cedricdeheynwoeste]

Awesome buddy, 👍

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Merci

[@utubeape]

that hole may require some kind of simple key type tool. Maybe take a good nail or screw and retry the idea with that instead of the stick. i think you are right about it being for drainage. I once thought I had found secret shelters but it turned out to be water worls inspection hatches

[@williamgoodwin9667]

What a great little spot would be great to have a little speaker down there I bet it would sound awesome.

[@craigholman4365]

Well, you certainly don't find such things from where I'm from! Nice!

[@einsamerwolf567]

Absolut Mega Cooooles Video,Danke für's zeigen!!!!! 💯%🔥👍💪

[@jparker59able]

You would have ever thought watching someone cook and eat dinner in the bush would be so entertaining.

[@freddyoutdoors]

This is ace and sure does get you thinking

[@godricmclauchlan6842]

Love that wee stove it's such a great set up

[@laurelbasciano3586]

Very cool! Interesting place to stay. Would love to know more about the history.

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Thanks for sharing. Very enjoyable video. Bunker looked in very good condition. Be interesting to see what's under the plate

[@midnightmodgarage7740]

For 27 mins I'm like, come on Dustin talk to me!!! Haha. You always talk to me eventually. Great video!!! Camera work has gotten exceptional!!!

[@timdewey3798]

I would definitely go back to see what it is. 👍

[@davidcann6021]

Nice clean bunker there. Yeah that'll be for drainage. I know it's a slightly more modern bunker as cold war but have a look at the design of ROC (Royal Observation Corps) bunkers and you'll see a lovely draining sump below the entrance.

[@brianloughary2521]

Yes come back and lets see what that slab leads too.👍👍👍

[@Andrea-kp4et]

Yes you should return, we are all waiting with anticipation. I think you maybe at the old airfield near Bridgwater.

[@Just_Wimski1130]

Thank you for the nice video and so good quality, it's like asmr the noise. Hope spelling is okay, I am dutch. Bless you

[@phillios3257]

I see that curious look in your eyes. Lets get that plate up mate.

[@paullawrence8572]

Great vid! Fascinating one! Nice to have met you in Sherborne (Thurs)👌👍🤝

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks Paul. Was a pleasure meeting you

[@chadwheeler1469]

Jellious im in the us wish we had A couple shelters like this

[@TheVodec]

A drainage access panel would make sense. It would have to be a trap to collect debris so that it wouldnt collect further down a pipe. So, if it isnt a drainage trap it probably is a small storage area.

[@denniscoughlin7437]

Yes come back. There has to be more there than what u have found so far.

[@rewindproject1617]

If this was in +62, people would tell a spooky backstory of it (old building tend to have ghost story here). I've seen similar bunker design from T.A. Outdoor channel, very interesting.

[@DwarfDragonwulf]

Yes, would like to see more of this... Also, where is Amber today?

[@doloresmitchell8083]

Thanks for the video be safe

[@joecostello8452]

That place is awesome I would definitely invest some time and money making that place a home away from home

[@gailembleton662]

You should of put the whole stick down then pulled the string.. i would like to know what's down there... great bunker find. Nice video..

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks for commenting

[@anthonysandqvist7704]

As always outstanding video keep up the great work

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thank you

[@storbunlimitedbushcraft6996]

Frontline in the bunker.... Genius! 🤯

[@idagotdinixa442]

Wooow what an exciting adventure 👌👀👀😲 that was very entertaining thanks for sharing it with us 🔝👏👏

[@garytwining-wright871]

That one of the cleanest bunkers I’ve ever seen. Usually they are in complete rag order and they have been used as toilets. No idea what the cover is but you definitely need to go back and open up that hatch. Maybe the gate way to Hell 😂. Another great video.

[@MegaBrenda1970]

This is an amazing video!! Thank you so much for sharing with us!

[@shrutikbhalerao2397]

Suddenly the Vedio turned into a cooking show ❤😂 loved it

[@englishandproud1949]

It can't be a drain. There is nowhere for the water to drain away. Use a raw bolt, it will expand and grip. Great video by the way !!

[@boonedog1457]

Drainage makes sense, but it would drain very slow with such a small hole, unless you opened the concrete slab. I say come back to explore what's in this hole, but bring tools! LOL...I just have to know what is in there and what purpose this hole serves. Ha!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Well that was cool 👍

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks bud

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS 👊

[@niknack666]

Cooking good in an abandoned shelter.... interesting and absolutely nothing wrong with doing another over nighter. How did your cordage handle up to an all night hammock with the metal walls?

[@kgreg1956]

Without a doubt you should come back! It was so odd seeing you without Amber. Is she well? That solid wall at the end still looks like a door. Why else would it have hinges?

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Amber's very well, thanks for asking 😊

[@driverdan6988]

Great video!!!!! I think drainage🤔 Thanks so much for your wonderful content!👌👍😉

[@philsinclair]

Really enjoyed this video! You need to go back with a sledgehammer and see what’s under the hatch 😂. Just kidding. I personally think it could be a drainage ditch but I am curious to see what it could be. Definitely a follow up video needed 👍

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Yeah I really do wonder whats down there. I should go back!

[@adrianmagda571]

Im very happy to know you and watch you're beautiful video. Enjoyed you're delicious food. 🥰🥰🥰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I give you like and subscribe. God bless you.

[@unpredictable913]

Yes!! You should go back! Please??

[@dougcox1235]

Yes you should absolutely go back I'm interested in seeing what it is

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Me too

[@lauriewright388]

Defo come back….!! Sooooo interesting?

[@rayleeeastlick3989]

Klamath falls Oregon is watching

[@johndudley3992]

Your in the wolfs liar ! WOW so cooool.

[@alessia0064]

I would say it's just for drainage but it would be good to see for sure, maybe use a pry bar not a crow bar to lift the cover 😊👍.

[@haggishunteroutdoors]

Good video dustin. You should definitely go back and find out what that hole in the slab leads to. I know what you mean by you have a new found respect for the area i have been to areas like that full of history and it makes you think how simple our lives are. Anyway all the best and yea go back check it out !!!

[@chadliggett286]

Brother Could be A pressure plate for land mine! A Last Stand concept!

[@davidmccall860]

What a find!!! It takes thousands of dollars to create an underground bunker, and you literally found one for free! Take full advantage of it my friend! The time is at hand sadly....

[@tazziiee1098]

that's a good looking meal

[@Petestleger]

The steak and, ermm... custard? looked epic, as expected. I'll put five whole English pence on that slab covering a sump/drain. Do let us all know when you've found out! Interesting place, good video. All the best!

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Peppercorn sauce! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Petestleger]

@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS Hahaha it's OK, I didn't think you were quite that weird! 🤣 Looked good!

[@umoksha]

To lift the slab, I recommend a dog steel chain that connects to the collar and harness of pets.

[@umoksha]

I like your idea of hanging bed and your interaction with the viewers, overall video is A1 👍

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks 👍

[@RLU-wt8vi]

I doubt drainage. That would be too small a hole to handle the amount of water, esp in a heavy rain, that stairwell would produce. You HAVE to go back, maybe with Mike, and check it out. Ammo storage? Food storage for a few soldiers who bunked there on patrol? Oh! How about cold storage? Instant fridge, should they catch a rabbit or two. Love watching your videos - esp to see what you're going to cook up. Could you maybe add a list of the spices you add every once and awhile? Stay safe, from Ohio (USA)

[@timryder4036]

You need to go to the Hardware store and go get one of those Spreading metal anchors that will expand in the hole and give you a better grip. YES we have to see what's down there.

[@kellypoulos8702]

Amazing, thanks for sharing

[@frostymedic]

Yes you should return and lift it up! Please please please go back!

[@tinaloveless4895]

Very cool find.

[@dylansheppardmymodelrailway]

Nowt beats a brew in the morning 👍👍👍👍

[@57acres48]

Nifty place to find for sure. Would dream of such findings - or a big cave! - as a kid but not many bunkers here in Canada LOL! My guess would be drainage with possibly a small cistern for collecting water for those hunkering down in the bunker for extended times. Guess you'll have to go back and open it up to find out. Looking forward to that video. Also first time my wife had seen a fire piston in action. Still want to get one of those. Cheers!

[@patrickhathaway6178]

When I was growing up in South Wales during the 50ies and 60ies there were all sorts of structures - pill boxes and shelters many near railway lines! I guess we were ready for the invasion that , thankfully, never happened!
