- Exploring an abandoned area of a military airfield bunker facility.
These grounds are full of bunkers and trenches from the cold war area.
With a little map help from "festningsverk.no" we were able to find some of them and explore them.
Thanks a lot to Espen K for providing us with info and map on the place.
Thank you so much for watching.

Urban Exploring is a practice that comes with certain risks.
Serious injuries or even death is a risk as many of these locations are closed down due to lack of maintenance.
If you are inspired to enter any of these sites, you do so entirely at your own risk and I am not under any circumstances recommending you to do so without the proper experience, research and/or equipment.
Please note that entering off-limits sites may be seen as trespassing and you might be prosecuted.

Wow Its nice to see a beautiful place not defiled by vandalism and spraypaint.
+Hannibal Hyde
I totally agree.
A lot of these places quickly become sprayed down and vandalized if you write the location in the description..
That`s why I don`t.
This bunker was a sweet ride.
Hannibal Hyde yes yes 💯. I've cleaned the walls at some places, people are so fascinated by scrawling penises on everything.
It's because this is Norway. High standards in Norway
Wish I could go back in time and see how all these bunkers looked and how they were operated. Very cool video!
Thanks buddy:)
if you live near Ongar, there is a "secret" nuclear bunker that has been left all original, its in Kelvedon Hatch, it's worth a look, its 3 floors and has tons of information, its pretty fun down there, and it is also Essex's most haunted place as it was built on an ancient burial ground and many workers died while building it, there is also a youtube video which is made using some kind of interactive movie set in the bunker, ill link it when I find the video.
Great video and choice of background sound. There's a huge bunker near me in the UK, size of 2 tennis courts and hidden from aerial view with a mini forest on top of it. Trouble is, you can't get inside as it has a huge heavy metal safe like door and no one in the town has any idea what's inside with walls that must be thick as 4'.
trancehi where abouts is it?
Ah ok didn't reconise it
I kinda jumped at 2:43 when the flashlight turned on with the music.
Great job i would be so scared going in there alone.
WhenYouFinishReadingMyNameImFuckingYour Girlfriend
Haha.
Thanks alot man:)
Damn I love abandoned military buildings
I kept thinking you were going to put a jump scare into it because of the spooky music.
+Austin N
That would have been mean, right? ;)
Wow, that looks sick! Thanks for the video!
abandoned places like these define the horrors of war
Wow love it, I could live in that bunker complex, very good condition and dry, ideal place in a SHTF scenario, cheers for sharing, atb, Paul.
Neanderthal 62 Thanks a lot, Paul:)
Much appreciated!
Very cool, reminds me of the sandstone caves down by the Mississippi we explored as kids that are now walled off. They used to store beer in them, one can only guess where under the city they lead to back when they were open in the 70's. Many good old gold mines in Gorda too, I still can't believe someone from that town won half the big powerball considering how few people live in that coastal town.
+rolomatic Z
Man I would love to explore that:)
Mines are awesome.
Especially if they have beer stored in them;)
EPIC.....THat was fun to watch. i was waiting for something to jump out at any time lol. well done.

Thanks for feedback, friend:)
*When Your In A Abandoned Bunker And Hear Footsteps From The Next Room*
"Nopenopenopenopenope"
Most people dont actually walk through the bunkers when they find them. I thank you for not letting me down brotha!
+Weston Bell
Well I woulden`t wanna let my lovely subscribers down now would I? ;)
Thank you for watching, good sir:)
Holy shit I love so much that you used Half Life music, as soon as I heard the music when you turned on the flashlight I was like "fuuuuck yes!" Great video man.
+Axsen _
Glad you like it, sir:)
Thanks for watching:)
they need to make museums for these old bunkers there are so much that hasn't been found
Super Video ... als wäre man wirklich mit dabei :-) Vielen dank fürs Mitnehmen und Zeigen.
+Explomanie
Vielen dank:)
Ich bin froh, dass es Ihnen gefallen hat:)
This video is soo cool. :) Had to watch it again.
+Andreas S
Thanks mister:)
Sure was a fun day:)
This looks incredible, fantastic find.
+Morgan Freeman
Thanks for watching:)
great bunker.. so cool to see it so untouched by vandals etc, nice work
+G dizzle
Thanks again:)
Yeah this one is a real beauty:)
As I posted for a guy who filmed a former East German bunker in similar condition keep the place in mind and a secret. If it looks like things are going bad start getting supplies moved there and hidden. That way you got a secure place you can run to till things blow over, or to fight from depending on what happens.
SecurityGuy42 keep it DL to preserve the condition of these beautiful structures.
for a long time i was thinking you were gonna put a pop up imagine to scare people awesome work
how do you come about finding these places?
+Don Anz
That would have been really mean...
Mr.Olav I lived this video I learned something new today thank you for uploading this +1 sub
+xDEADLY_MODZx_
Appreciate you saying that.
Thanks for subbing:)
Olav XO Hope you keep it up with these scary videos ..can I recommend you going to alcatraz
Thanks again, bussy.
I would love to go to USa for some exploring.
There's still an active ICBM silo nearby where I live. My Grandfather(Whom of which is still alive and healthy) used to work as the main fire chief/inspector at Vandenberg AFB near Lompoc, California(I live a half-hour north in Santa Maria), and when My Dad was a kid, he and his class got to take a tour of it because a classmate's dad was in charge. As of now, I think the only thing it's used for is launching weather satellites.
+Satchel Hogan
Hey, thanks for your story, friend:)
Your dad sure was a lucky guy, I would have given a pice of my right arm to get access to one of those.
Good that they find some practical use for it these days too, alot of them from what I hear are either sealed shut with concrete or filled with water. I heard that even some are used by the Navy Seals for practicing their diving skills.
Yeah, he only got to go into it once, but he used to hang out at the former Point Arguello Lighthouse boat house out there a lot.
Cool video. I saw tons of these places around Karup AB in Denmark back in the 1990's. I think the base is still active so I would avoid them.
+worldtraveler
I love exploring beautyful Denmark.
And Danes are such nice people, especially other urban explorers.
If the base is still active I would avoid them too, good call there.
Thank you for watching:)
damn you crazy. I wouldn't even dare to look at the place let alone venture into it solo. I give you mad props for not giving a shit. place is creepy as hell.
Thank you so much for watching:)
It`s all fun and games, my friend.
love it. good job
***** Thanks alot man, much appreciated:)
2019?! Any one
wow this bunker sure has spooky sound effects
+gear drop
True:)
Thanks for watching:)
you have very good recording skills, i felt like i was watching a virtual reality video game walk through! xD
Wow, thank you so much, that's nice of you to say:)
I want you guys to see the exact same things that I see:)
this is awesome. I was always facinated by the cold war
Thanks man:)
Me too, something very exiting about it I guess:)
Thanks for watching.
Nice half life music. Some of my favorite soundscapes from the soundtrack.
Aye, mine too, sir. Kelly Bayley was an exellent composer.
Thanks for watching.
great video.
WELL MADE video! At least the music :D:D:D
+Maryo Viber
Thanks alot man:)
your welcome keep up the good vids
nice bro that was wicked ly sick
+mike alcauter
Thanks for watching, bro:)
Love the half life 2 music!
That ventilation system looks like what Swiss built.
awesome loved it
7976ish
Thank you, sir:)
Very cool video, Thanks :)
Right back at ya:)
cool and still very intact
True, a rare gem indeed:)
Thanks for watching.
It’s like entering Black Mesa with the damn music.
Haha sorry about that:)
Thanks for watching, sir, and a happy new year to you:)
olavXO
you should not do this by yourself lol, if you hurt yourself and couldn't get out I am pretty sure you would never be found
+IShoNoHonor just like that youtuber who went missing trying to find that M shaped cave :'(
+IShoNoHonor
Thank you for your concern, I`m not always alone though.
And I do take safety-precautions.
+XSpartanStormX
Never heard of that one:/
Olav XO i heard of that one i think, he posted a video of him finding a cave, but it freaked him out so much he left. He made another video later saying he was going back to the same cave and was never heard from again.
+Olav XO yeah, as the other guy said, he went missing after making that video. M cave hiking.
You should always take a GPS with you, although I know you probably do.
what a cool vid"
Thanx for sharing.
I appreciate that, sir:)
Thank you so much for watching and commenting:)
THAT HOLE AT 5:38 ON THE FLOOR LOOKED LIKE AN OLD ESCAPE HATCH THAT GOES DEEPER INTO THE FACILITY WAS THAT WHAT IT WAS? AND THANK YOU FOR POSTING SUCH EPIC VIDEO'S. I'VE SEEN ALL OF THEM AND THE STUFF YOU GET TO EXPLORE IS AMAZING.. TO SEE IT'S JUST LEFT TO GET RECLAIMED BY NATURE IS CRAZY JUST BECAUSE OF THE TIME AND MONEY THAT WENT INTO BUILDING THEM.
+luvmusic17
Thank you for you nice words, friend.
It`s comments like these that pushes me to explore more hardcore stuff for you guys. Really, thank you.
About the hatch, you could be right, but I kind of doubt it, as I have seen and checked hatches like this one in other bunkers.
They`re usually just maintenance hatches with either a fuseboard or pressure-valve for closing the air out.
But then again, who knows, maybe I missed out on something:)
Thank you for watching :)
No problem like I said the stuff you do is awesome... STAY SAFE AND NEVER STOP EXPLOREING THE UNKNOWN CAUSE YOU MIGHT JUST STUMBLE ON A FORGOTTEN TREASURE FROM LONG AGO THANX AGAIN FRIEND I WISH I COULD SEE WHAT YOU DO UP CLOSE
Gameplay from slender man xD
good use of the half life sountrack sir :D
+KeStReL fx
Thanks buddy:)
I love that soundtrack.
Love the music you used, but where is your rifle? Can't have that first-person shooter vibe without a weapon or at least a crowbar.
+Rhythmicons
Dr Freeeeemaaaaaaan:)
+Olav XO hey, you forgot bring your crowbar with you :)
You`re right, sir:)
It won`t happen again:)
To olav, I hope you kept this a secret and started making it your fallout shelter and have it stoked with 2 years of food. By the ind of this year 2017 you will be living there. Again, don't tell anyone else. Fist up, Fight for Truth.
None of those underground facilities seem to have some sort of kitchen or "dining" room and yet some have bunk beds which means that soldiers or personnel lived there for some time. Did they have to live on MREs? And why would bunk beds be mounted on springs?
the bunks beds are spring mounted for in case of a explosion near or directly on top of the bunker so the personal inside could sleep without being constantly throne around in their beds, this was for 24/7 manning of the bunker were personal had shifts. The dinning section was either in another section of the bunker or in this case food were indeed MREs or it was provided by an outside standing kitchen truck.
***** That's was I thought. but I wasn't totally sure. Thanks for the reply.
what this guy says.
Nice
That was well cool!! :)
+Urban Ex Boys
Thanks man:)
Fuck man, this is insane!!!! thank you for shearing this experience with me
MrErmmmmmm Thanks a lot bro, that means a lot:)
You`re most welcome:)
Nice video thanks for sharing :)

Buena exploracion amigo :)
Muchos gracias, amigo:)
creds ^^ Hey look here!! Do you see me? Heey! :D no?? HEEYY!!! ... Thx... :3
bro! i'm from Sweden and want to ask some questions. ^^
or maybe just one xD Why so much death's and injuries?
And amazing edit man i love it! With the music and everything!
Take care and good luck! be carefull i want more Abonded area videos ^^
+SWE Enduro Rider (W.Göst)
Hey man:)
Dunno what you mean with "so much death and injuries"
But thanks a lot for the nice feedback, I will be careful and return with more videoes for you:)
Thanks for watching
I read your discription
I've seen an earlier video of this "bunker", and due to its small size and lack of any sign of outer doors I think it was used for training for CQB and bunker defense/assault. It only has the one central room with actual locking doors. My two cents...
+Sadler2010
Your theory is probably a good one.
thanks for watching too.
Was that a can beer i heard at the end being opened, to celebrate the awesome find? ;)
+Dennis Hansen
Hahaha I wish;)
Would have been a fitting celebration;)
I`m afraid its only me fiddling with my gopro cam though;)
Thanks for watching.
It sure sounded like it ;)
but great find!
Thanks buddy:)
That was cool
+David Ray
Yes it was.
And I think it`s cool that you watched it too:)
Olav XO I do a little history searching too, but where I live there are few things like this.
Wonder if they had noisy electrical generators, also how the electrical runs there, nice bunk beds thow, with Springs for soft sleeps lol
Mostly they have conceiled electrical wiring connected to the grid, also with a backup-system powered by diesel generators.
Nothing like sleeping soft when the bombs start dropping:)
+Olav XO nice thanks for the info, I thou was knob and tubing lol. are the generators still there left forgotten?
Boris Alvarado As far as I remember, the generators were no longer there.
This place is fucking awesome
I love the inclusion of the Half-life soundtrack.
Ahahaha nice... H1Z1 music... :)
Great channel!!! Like! regards U.S.B. Austria
Thanks alot man:)
I appreciate you saying that:)
Love the use of half life ost
Glad you noticed, sir:)
Thank you for watching my video:)
*bro, that bunker is a good place for u to hide from slenderman*
really...the music was not necessary
Made me poop my pants... 3 times😖
Thank you for that feedback.
Would you prefer just the noise of my footsteps?
Sorry to hear that:)
Music was the best.
Was that a swedish bunker? Because when you're going in a first there is a newspaper on the table where is says "sparken på direkten" which means "fired at once" (like you get fired from a job).
+Razmus Almqvist
Nice eye for detail, sir.
Close enough, this is in norway, very similar language.
Yeah :D I actually like Norway :)
Hvilken del av landet er dette?
i believe i have one of those in the woods by my neighborhood, but unfortunately the front has caved in. i wish it wasnt so i could explore it.
+Typical White Girls
There is almost always a way in if you have the will to find it.
Otherwise, get some digging equipment and start working.
loved*
I'm surprised there where no rad roaches lol. Good video tho man
+bugzi87
Thanks for watching, man.
Roaches need food to survive
Never go to places like this without - A) a crowbar and B) a towel :P
+Fergusius
Lol I get the half life referance, but towel? ;)
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ;) Just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
i know where this place is ...... but in keeping with olav's request i too will keep it secret
Heftig video!
Har du noe imot å si hvor dette ligger? Ikke at jeg har tenkt å besøke det, med mindre det ligger nærme der jeg bor. Bare lurer :)
+Smokey the man
Kan si så mye som at det ligger på østlandet:)
Sjekk ut festningsverk.no
+Olav XO telemark??
You guys have got more bottle than me.
It would be a real shame if this place was totally abandoned and left to rot. It's still in fairly good shape. It could be remade into a hunter's cove possibly. That way, it would be in good shape to be used as a bunker once again if the time comes (God forbid).
+Alchemist Endrew
I agree with this on all levels, allthough I love abandoned places, it`s seems like such a waste.
Thank you for watching, sir:)
Did you go down there by yourself?
is this bunker up for sale and ty for the walk threw of this bunker
No it`s probably not, if they haven`t forgotten it already , it`s probably just gonna get buried.
+Olav XO Those are not apostrophes
Hvordan kan jeg komme i kontakt med deg? Seriøs UE, kunne tenkt meg og lære mer om et par av stedene du har lagt ut.
I know where I'm going for ww3 or zombie apocalypse
+tron2468
lol.
Thanks for watching.
What country did you discover the bunker in Olav?
+Pref Ernot
It`s in Norway.
+Olav XO hvor er du ifra. Hvor i norge er dette?
Østlandet.
hvor er dette?
Just needs some windex and a good brooming really.
+Ragesauce
Sure, if thats your thing.
I like it all dirty and abandoned, but I guess you could fix this up if you put some time into it.
The sad thing is that the military doesen`t think we need these places anymore.
Thank you for watching,.
Går du til disse stedene selv?
Holy fuck that was cool, subbed
+TheTrolledOne
Thanks buddy:)
Dont there was stuff in there like bullets or weapons and clothes?
+Mik Alting Siberg They wouldn't have left such things at the bunker, they took everything dangerous or of value with them.
+TheJaccen
This, this is correct.
well that's sorta annoying out of the 3 room at 3:25 you told us the one room with a lookout post but the room in the middle you didn't go through and you went off to the left and continued 😑
Dude, I regret that I diden`t show it to you now;(
I will make up for it next time with you in mind:)
Thanks for watching.
Don't You afraid sometimes before You go into those buildings?
Not really, I guess my senses are heightened to watch out for any danger, but it`s really just me deep in the woods with shitloads of concrete over my head.
Thanks for watching:)
Hvilken del av landet er dette i?
+Wormweed
Østlandet
Very nice video! :D It's very good that you don't share locations (because vandals are idiots) but damn i'm jealous :DD
Yeah it kinda has to be that way, these places gets vandalized so fast.
Thanks for watching man:)
I know! Np :D
Is it possible for you to do a collage and take them with you to an abandoned place?
+Alyssa Low
I`m not really sure what you mean?
You mean like take my photos with me and bring them into an abandoned place?
+Olav XO you don't have to take the photos but take them with you to an abandoned place
+Alyssa Low sure I could. But why? :)
I showed many of my other friend you video sand they most of them said they would love to be doing that with you and would love to see and have the experience you do! I would also love to join you as well. :D :D
That`s nice of you:)
Thank you for all the kind words:)
where is that???
+LHSBoy `
Norway.
This place is in a good shape, gladly vandals didn't make it up there
Крутое видео
eehhh, thank you, I think:)
Подписался 😊👍
Ghastly looking place. Compared to the ones around here though, these Norwegian bunkers are like 5 star hotels.
martK banjoboy
Hehe ,sorry to hear that for your soldiers anyway).
I don`t know where your from, but I do agree that this bunker is not in as bad shape as other bunkers I`ve been too.
Thanks for your feedback:)
Olav XO Nova Scotia, Canada. The ones around here date back to 18th century. Those are on the Harbour side of Mcnabbs island, and are known, but mostly backfilled and unexplored I heard. Then the others range all the way through the 19th century, including the Crimean War era. The latest ones were used through WWI and through WWII, so you see a mish mash of architectural styles and a progression of military science. York Redoubt has 9" RML guns, probably the only place in the US or Canada where you will see anything like that.The WWII bunkers are the worst. Very hastily constructed and in extremely bad condition. The biggest batteries used old British 14" guns, which were sold to Turkey sometime in the 1950s through to the early 1960s. The use of these coastal defence bunkers was discontinued sometime in the 1950s.
martK banjoboy
Dude, this is awesome info, you obviously know your history.
That`s it then, I`m going to Canada:)
Also, keep in mind that the bunker you see in my clip, is from much more recent origin.
We also have our share of backfilled stuff from the WW2 era.
Olav XO I clearly recall espying a WWII bunker while we were taxiing in to the Bardufoss airport back in the day. Someone told me these were sometimes used as crypts for German soldiers but I suspect they were blowing smoke up my butt. Modern doctrine since the early 1990s seems to cut out the use of static bunkers. There must have been a sea change in military doctrine worldwide around that time as so many have been either abandoned or turned into museums.
That would cost a ton! All spent for nothing!
Totally agree, and I think it`s a crying shame..
Thanks for watching:)
I'm surprised there aren't any homeless people living there. Seems like a nice place to live if you're homeless.
+Bob is Bob
Maybe, except for the place is very remote, and with no heat source you would probably freeze to death with these northern temperatures.

Thanks alot man, I`m glad you like them.
I have recieved some feedback on talking in my videoes and I will definetly consider this:)
