Return to the Survival Bunker- I can't sleep.

Рік тому

My husband Dave and I discovered this abandoned survival bunker on land we bought in Interior Alaska. It had been occupied by a prepper it seemed, and then left to the elements with a bad roof for decades.
It seemed very daunting to clean it up after our first effort, and we let it sit a few weeks, deciding what to do with it. (Clean it up? Burn it? Leave it and move on to working the better part of the property?)
In the meantime, Dave traveled to Michigan to begin a new project and I.... I couldn't sleep thinking about this mess sitting on our new property.
So- I got a dumpster delivered. Join me to see what I endure with the cleanup and if I end up finding any TREASURES!

The difference in batteries: Standard batteries will corrode and leak out over time. Industrial or Super Heavy Duty batteries have sealing gaskets and are made to better specs.

It’s interesting when you see how much time and energy people put into preparing for survival in case the world “ends” and then it doesn’t.

I was talking to a prepper the other day, and I said, frankly if the world ends up like the day of the comet and there are no puppies, bbq with friends, beach sunsets, camping around a fire, horseback rides, laughing with kids over a board game I am not sure I want to survive. He looked at me and said , “gosh, I never thought of it that way.” But, like everything, to each own. I did like his book choices! Definitely not light reading.

@@kmsch986 Yeah -- I was part of and friends (IRL) with a handful of the original folks that called themselves "preppers" on UKposts. For me having some common sense preparedness (Skills, Food Storage, secondary Heat Sources, et al.). It was interesting to watch that original "Prepper" movement burn out (like the "Patriots" and "Survivalists") before them the more sane ones started calling themselves "Homesteaders" (...eventually that was corrupted with doomer crap too). The current economic situation has a resurgence of "Preppers". Fortunately, any bit of the toxic doomer crap didn't stick with me though I have seen quite a few folks slip into worse and worse delusions about the state of the world and desiring authoritarian political solutions. The books were interesting to me as I see some echos of myself (the bookshelf next to me has some botany textbooks, Bushcraft books by Mors Kohanski, and assorted other DIY skills books).

I got the feeling from those windows that the previous owner was afraid of wild animals getting in. Interesting construction. Good job. Very entertaining! 🇨🇦

That was a grueling job, it’s speaks loudly of your tenacity to survive. I cleaned up a burned building with a bass boat in it. It’s was a mangled charred mess, but was so glad it was gone out of my back yard. The neighbor had leta brush fire get out of hand. We were very upset about loosing our boat and a stack of mahogany wood pieces and numerous other tools. At the metal recycling place they had a giant swinging magnet that reached into my trailer and picked it up.

Great video and you showed more grit and determination than most people I know. Great Job Brooke!!! Just curious as to how many of y'all Googled James Clifford of Fairbanks, Alaska after Brooke found the mail with his name on it? I for one am guilty and only found one by that name, born in 1945 and passed away in 2020.

quite a few!!!!!

As an amateur genealogist, I couldn't help but look too. I found an article he wrote in 2004 called “Looking Several Ways: Anthropology and Native Heritage in Alaska," turns out he's an Harvard-educated professor!

Wow, woman, just wow! If I were there I would so love helping you clear head space for your sleeping! As it is, I just cracked myself up realizing that I'm sitting here alone a home with the biggest horror yuck face frozen on me while I watch you going at this alone. 😵‍💫 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for inviting us all to your nightmare. 🤗 Dave is going to be so sorry he missed this! (not) I did a quick search for the name on the letter you found adding Fairbanks Alaska to it and an obituary came up for a gentleman born in 1945 and passed away 2020. The other thing that popped up was that he (if it's the same fella) was an anthropologist which would fit with the books you uncovered. Just fascinating, what was he "prepping" for?

@safarijoesadventures Рік тому

Great job! That’s a lot of heavy work for anybody and you did it like a champ. It is always good when a mess is cleaned up and then you can take a look at what you really want to do to the rest of the property. And I agree, the beautification process of the property is the fun stuff. Keep up the great videos.

@@sway696 I have been watching her and her husband Dave at Bushradical For about three years. They’re both pretty down to earth and seem like real people. I grew up in the upper peninsula of Michigan which makes me a yooper. I like to see what they do with the properties they own. Anytime someone can take something and make it better I enjoy it.

That mess was overwhelming so kudos to you for grinding it out. I can imagine the smells as I have had to clean something similar. You really stuck it out. My back hurts in sympathy! Looking forward to you clearing up the land.
