Camping on Top of an Abandoned Cold War Radar Base! 

You aren't kidding when you say you are the proper people. Everything about your channel is proper and professional.

The production quality and camera shots on these videos is something I only see on TV channels. These guys deserve much better than RU-vid who sadly demontizes their terrific content!

Wow, sure brings back the memories. In the early 60s, I was a USAF radar tech (Heavy Ground Radar). Did my job in and around towers just like these. The high light (or maybe LOW light) of my service was a year tour at Cape Newingham, AK. Six guys up on the mountain with the Radar Set connected by a tram car to 100+ troops down in the valley. Incoming aircraft when the weather allowed - i.e. RARELY. Way, way isolated from the real world!! Thank goodness we were never needed to sound the WWIII alert...................

The aerial perspective in that sunset shot at 18:56 was incredible

Expertly done, great video guys!

This episode should have been sponsored by Toyota.

Skip school in 97-98 to go here for day. Such a great memory and adventure

imagine living near there and looking out your window at night and just seeing a guy waving a super powerful flashlight around like a lightsaber

this was awesome love the views!

You could flag down a Jet with that light, I never saw one bounce off a cloud bank that wasn't a searchlight before.

After watching this at least 4 or 5 times, I have to say, this is my favorite video of yours so far. It's got a road trip, off- roading action and an insane spot. Makes me want to grab a friend and my jeep and go up north. Thanks for all your vids. Inspiring and addictive.

For anyone going up there, warnings first: the road is blocked from the lower base to the upper base because of injuries and a death from falling. Second, last time I was there, huge pile of bear crap behind the motor pool, so keep mindful of bears. Lastly, nothing should happen, but some people do take guns up there for shooting, so also be mindful of that. That said, it's a pretty cool place to visit, and the views from the top are amazing. There's also a great campsite at the base of the towers, protected from the wind. Just be careful, those buildings have had a zero maintenance and are crumbling. This also means that there's asbestos, so don't go poking around in rubble. If you need an ambulance, it's over an hour away, so you're on your own. Finally, for anyone into UFO stuff, this place figures into the Betty and Barney Hill abduction in 1961.

I find it insane that you guys put this much effort into your videos with your edits and such, and you only have 482k... hope you guys continue to grow your channel been watching for a long ass time! Love you guys

Those drone shots keep getting better, great work!

sponsor by toyota: the road dont stop me, and sponsor by maruchan : any place is a good place

Been up there many times. Grew up in the 80's just down the road (8 miles or so) in the town of Victory

Once again, another ''Proper'' video to bless you tube. I'm not joking, there's not a lot of channels out there that get me excited when they post a video. The way that your videos are made just catches my attention. I appreciate the edits that go into this. Editing is not so fun sometimes. Thanks for another video!

The drone shots, the offroading, the sunset, the night shots, the flashlights, this video is definitely one of my favorites of yours! Awesome job!!

Fun fact : The hells angels used to party at this location back in the day,

Love this place, the cameras don't do it justice when you go in person and can see everything for 50+ miles in each direction. I'll never forget waking up on the third floor of the main tower with my friends and realizing we were completely engulfed in clouds. At night you can see a wind farm off in the distance and physically watch the electrical current go across it's entire grid via their red lights. This is seriously one of the most underrated spots in the northeast you can go to and I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates a beautiful view. Great vid as always guys.

You've put a lot of time and effort into this video and it shows. From your shots (I loved how you shot the 4Runner navigating around that roadblock) to the use of historical photos and footage, to the VO, this is a polished production. Probably one of your best so far. I know that you can't do this level of production on every video, but I hope you can pull of something like this maybe once a quarter? There are some places that are just cool to watch people explore, and then there are places that really demand an explanation of their history and context -- those are the places that interest me, and I appreciate your taking the time to make videos like this.

I always look forward to your videos. I am really impressed with the amazing places you choose.

11:38 - Perfect Walking Dead location.

I love that you guys incorporate as much historical findings into it as possible. As a history buff its always appreciated. Thanks!!

Some of the best content I’ve seen on RU-vid. You all deserve a lot more recognition!

Holy shit, I grew up 40 minutes from here, never knew of it growing up. I’ll be back there later this month and will check it out.

This video inspired some friends and I to camp here as well it’s was an amazing trip with some of the best views I’d ever seen. Sunrise was the best part. Thank you guys for a great video and a great trip idea.

I'm a Vermonter, I've been up to that site too many times to count. You have to go back during the Fall and the winter.

A shot from miles and miles away of you guys shining that bright ass flashlight would have been gnarly!!

Thanks for temperature clarification for us Canadians 😂💯

This is my absolute favorite proper people video. I've gone back and watched it multiple times. Peak comfy, great environment, cool experience to watch.

American guys: "It's cold, and windy, and we're in the middle of nowhere" Canadian guy: "I forgot, you're not from around here"

This was absolutely amazing. Love the views. Just gorgeous. This was a great video.

This was amazing! Very well put together and makes me want to go out and explore now. Great job

What a great video! Your camera work is, as always, phenomenal, and your enthusiasm is so infectious. I was 100% transfixed start to finish. Thank you!

This looks like Livonia in the DayZ game. Actually, the car, the small tents, and location... this seems like a small film for game....

"For the Canadians who are watching that's about 18 degrees" Thank you for that lol

Hello to both you guy's. I've lived here just a few miles from the radar base all my life. In fact this town was first named Hartwellville (after my relatives) then changed to E--- H----. As a kid I would climb up the mountain with my friend's. Of course back then it was beautiful. Way before the biker gang's H---'- A----- and other's destroyed most of it. I have read some of the comment's and most of them are very kind but some seem to be casting doubt's on your story. What you said was very true. Back in the late 1950's and Early 1960's The Development was built. My dad helped to build the town's houses that are at the bottom of the Mountain. Yes the base is all the way to the top much like any military base it was called ''THE RADAR BASE'' And YES it was at it's time our nation 1st line of defence. It look's like you took the outer way to get to the split in the road. But as you said after that their is only one way to go. As far as the distance for me from my back yard I'd just go into the wood's and walk up the mountain. Way back when I was a young kid e- s----- owned it and it was much easier to scout the area. There's much more than just the radar base to see. A big thank's for you video, it was great!

I love going to places like that! Where you feel like you're on top of the world looking down on all those beautiful views. Thanks guys for another fantastic location!!

That was absolutely stunning. This was one of my faves! Such beautiful scenery. Great job as usual guys!

Unreal level of production guys, well done!

Very nice. Your voice when you narrate sounds so professional. Classy videos

3:30 - As a Canadian, thanks for the conversion. :) LOVE these shows, The Proper People!!

I grew up in Vermont. Didn't know about these, thanks for the adventure. Nice that you include drone footage to get a birds eye view of the place. :)

YES!!!! This was really cool! Well worth the wait!

What an episode ! I'm speechless !

Wow, great clip. Thanks for sharing, guys. I have already seen many clips on your You Tube channel. Love them all. Greetings from Dave in The Netherlands.

Lord, so many proper videos on this channel. A treat really, everything so well done!

Oh shit, hi Chris! I had a feeling that was you from the thumbnail. Glad to see you’re still active with Urbex! I wish we thought to film the one adventure we went on, I still get creeped out thinking back to the basement of the Shell service centre and seeing your floating head in the middle of the dark storage room. Cheers!

Man, the 4K quality makes total difference!

I am blown away by the talent you two have. Your videos are AMAZING!! The views are breathtaking!

I love abandoned military base and facility videos. I know those are my favorite. Awesome shots. Plus that is one helluva flashlight!

Dang, who makes that flashlight? Edit: found the answer in the comments ThruNite ThruNite TN40S LED Flashlight 4450 Lumens Max 1151 Meters Adopted 4 x CREE XP-L HI LEDs Combo of Thrower & Flood (Cool White)

Little tip from someone who spends a lot of time in the forest at work: Always carry 100ft of rope or paracord when you're doing stuff like this. Never know when it'll come in handy.

This is my favorite, of all your trips! A most awesome adventure, thank you!

This episode reminded me a little of the moon landings. The awe felt when viewing those beautiful mountains, esp. at sunset is a little of what I think the Apollo astronauts felt when they walked and looked at the moon.

I live in Vermont, but never really looked into abandon places nearby. Really interesting. Been wanting you guys to do a VT episode for a while (if you did any others, I missed it). So glad you guys came to this little state.

Whoa, those drone shots!

This was absolutely brilliant, you guys. I really like the Forbidden Explorers series, and am so happy that you keep working on it.

Love your historical knowledge of sites you explore which makes your vids quite worthwhile.

Awesome, and amazing video. You guys should consider bringing MRE's for food. P.s. i miss the old intro music. Its so awesome.

It'd be the perfect place to build a house, if you wanted to live someplace secluded.

Incredible guys!! It's so amazing to be able to see these places and your experiences there

I liked the inclusion of historical information and pictures. Helps get the feel of the place.

Production quality over the top

thank you for the temp conversion. I was like "that's not cold" and then it was confirmed.

This was easily one of the most beautifully shot videos you guys have done. Guess it doesn't hurt you had beautiful scenery to work with. :p

one of the best exploration of abandoned structures! Instead of throwing the site away on Mount Lemmon in southern Arizona and the University of Arizona took it over for their astronomy department. Majority of the structures on top are still in use today and one of the telescopes is even controlled via the Internet in Korea. This exact same period of time that these were made and used. That would be one of the best hunting spots ever on top of one of these towers and would camp out for an extended amount of time. Thank you so much for sharing and please keep them coming

Amazing!

That board at around 4:20 was used as an LED control board for the air systems associated with it. Think of it like energy management before digital controls were introduced.

I remember the day the video came out I was troubled so much in life. This is my official ASMR now. Now that I can walk again that beautiful campsite on top of the radar was beautiful and gave me hope. Weird how such a fun video made my life better and filled it with hope

Without a doubt the most professional and entertaining urbex channel on the site. Thank you guys and keep up the amazing work.

Can't wait to watch this all, it will be great! :) Loved seeing sneak previews of this over the past few days. Edit: That was one of the best videos ever.

Badass flashlight

I've been here and can definitely say this place is just as awesome as it looks in this video. Truly an amazing place. Hope you guys enjoyed your stay. I hammocked overnight in the tallest tower

Great channel. This is my favourite video so far. I hope I get the chance to camp out like that one day myself. Keep up the good work. Your production quality is amazing.

Another GREAT video. FANTASTIC camera work... The B E S T Glad to see you guys are back >

Tree scratches are called Backwoods Pinstriping.

Awesome explore guys!! Thank you so much for sharing!

What an amazing place to camp, the scenery around there is beautiful...you guys are very creative thinkers to have made this video, thankyou for sharing this 👍

only woods as far as eye sees not a single civilization signs... completely alone there:)

Funny how in this day and age remote is defined by your cell signal. Paper maps still serve a purpose.

Love your videos i came across your channel a few weeks ago and im loving them keep up the great work.

You guys could definitely have a tv show. The quality of these videos is stellar!

The thumbnail had as pretty good apocalyptic vibe going on. 😍👌

I would’ve blurred out my license plate lol

This series is really well done and very interesting. Please keep up the great work!

im glad you guys brought an actual man for this adventure, made the video a lot better

It's one of my dreams to do something like this!

@8:26 at this point, I'm just thinking how they're gonna get back with the car 😆

I adore adventuring with you guys so much. Thank you for being and doing! 💜

OMG I LOVE THESE VIDEOS...REMINDS ME OF A VIDEO GAME, EXPLORING STRANGE MILITARY LOCATIONS....

I would go nuts if it was 18 degrees! Hasn't been over 5 for months. ❄️🇨🇦

Reminds me of the flak towers from Medal of Honor: Airborne, as well as the countless abandoned bases in the Fallout games.

Omg the sky is breathtakingly beautiful. Your videos are always super amazing.

Thank you for taking us with you.! So cool.

Idk if the intro is new or not, but it’s really good

"for the canadians watching, thats about 18°C" did you mean to say "for the rest for of the world, its 18°C" ?

OMG fantastic video!! Ive never been jealous of a video before but wish i was there. What a beautiful sight, with some great history.

Every video before this one I kept thinking, " wow it would be so cool if they put a present day shot of what they're looking at vs back in the day" AND YOU GUYS DID IT!!!! Ugh such great content, probably am going to subscribe to Patreon as well!
