This now creepy abandoned base was at one time a crucial part of the defeat of the Nazi Germans, and the Imperialist Japanese during WW2.
It was even reactivated for Veitnam but shortly after that was closed down again. There are conspiracies that parts of the 1700 acre base is still active.
Come join us as we explore this huge military sight...

After WW2 there were hundreds of caves and hidden tunnels in France and Germany. While I was stationed in France we used to explore caves and mountain fortress installations before they were sealed from the public. In Eastern France, around Toul, there are tunnels that held hundreds of troops.

I would suspect that all those circular things in the ground were the bases for large storage tanks. This was an awesome location to see. Thank you for this.

The Hopper cars, rail cars, are in storage from either the railroad or the lease owner(s). They transported Coal, most likely from the Powder River mines, and were stored during a downturn in the market.

@oldsoldier181 6 лет назад

This may seem a little odd, but at about 22:44 or so, the tanks exploration area, the ELLIOTT tank-my dad worked at that foundry (or one of them) and may have made that!!!!

@AdventuresUnited 6 лет назад

That’s great Bill! It’s cool to find connections to bring the history to life

@gtodad7311 3 года назад

That's just VAAP (Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant) that made TNT; not hard to find. It was shut down in sections from 1975-1977, with only CF Industries producing fertilizer through a lease until 1982. The property you were on is still only DOD land due to environmental clean-up issues to the best of my knowledge. It was part of the WW2 war effort but actually made more TNT for the Vietnam War than WW2 and Korean wars combined. It's now mostly an industrial park primarily housing VW's Chattanooga Plant and an Amazon Fulfillment Center. And there's was nothing active about it other than security...even 3 years ago.

@davefranz8766 Год назад

This is a superfund toxic waste site. It was fun mapping it out. I live many states away. Someone made a video on Joliet army ammunition plant they showed you how to get in. They got a surprise call from Home land security telling them to take down the video because of UNEXPLODED ORDINANCES that could have killed them if they would have stepped in the right place. It doesnt surprise me at all that this is an EPA SUPERFUND toxic waste site unfortunately our government is the very worst offender when it comes to contaminating the ground water. Camp Lejeune commercial on tv. These places hurt a lot of our military personnel unfortunately for life do to cancers from being exposed to all those chemicals.

@tonyhollifield659 6 лет назад

When they found the tag from 1980 I thought that's not old I remember the 80's . Then I thought crap that was 38 year's ago CRAP I'm old! LMBO

@mickmac8300 6 лет назад

At 9.00 your in a boiler room. Looks like a munitions manufacturing facility. TNT melts at 95deg centigrade. Artillery shells grenades and bombs are filled by pouring hot TNT. So pipes would run from the boiler house in pairs. HPHW high pressure hot water. Like wise there would have been huge carrier chiller plant running chilled water around in a similar fashion. These liquids would be for everything from production to air conditioning. The acid plant would have been for initiators. Lead stifnate and nitro glycerine production used in caps. Hence the "C" on the building with the number. C= caps Z= initiators B= bomb S= Shell P= Pyrotechnics F= Fuze D detonators. The factory would of been in sections the spread over a big area is for safety i have seen a building set fire at a distance of 500 yards when a cordite truck ignited.

@toddwyndham7009 6 лет назад

Hey you nailed it buddy I was thinking for sure it was for the production of something becasei it didn’t look any base. I’d been on. That place must of had chemists and specialists of all sorts and security would of been a big priority as well .

@MJLeger-yj1ww 6 лет назад

F -- "fuze" or fuse? (Oh, I forgot, many Brits use 'z' instead of 's.') Your comment is more interesting and far more informative than the above video!

@ssureshot 7 лет назад

The former TNT plant near me is now a huge modern Volkswagen factory. I suspect your location is an EPA hazardous waste area. Be safe...

@AdventuresUnited 7 лет назад

+Bill Branning Wow that's really neat Bill! TNT Factory into a Volkswagen plant?! Where is that at? Well the Au motto is "Safety Sec... Cough FIRST" yeah "Safety First" haha jk Absolutely safety is priority number one for us. We did find that white crystalized powder in one of the buildings. It looked like a chemistry lab of sorts. I told John don't light a match. Made me a little nervous to be honest friend. I need to get a filter breathing mask for that type of exploration.

@CopeTheIrishman 6 лет назад

The big circular bunkers are in a area normally called ammo supply point(asp) they are usually built a safe distance away from high traffic areas of bases. Must have been a trek to get to it.

@bobhorner2845 6 лет назад

Very interesting. I worked on a military base till 12/2010 that was once a base that made bombs and ammo. The bunkers you went into, were indeed. WWII era, If you saw large vats, that was where the explosives were mixed. A VERY dangerous procedure.

@matthewmartin6745 6 лет назад

Its amazing how nature was reclaiming the land after 12 years ( at posting of video ). Just wondering what's on your calf's ? The other dude don't have them.

@kennywagt28 5 лет назад

That moment when you went exploring and realize you're wearing loafers?!?!😂

@fuggedupmess 6 лет назад

The hopper cars you were looking at appear to have held coal. That would make sense if the base produced its own power. It would have needed several cars a day to fuel production. Perhaps at a later point the power substation was erected to divert form the main power grid or to buffer the base in case of a black out. Just a guess.

@ashevilletrainman6989 2 года назад

Those hoppers are being stored by the railroad

@yellowboy1866 6 лет назад

The wheels on the rail road trucks or boxes are still shinny. Been moving recently.

@007tallguy 6 лет назад

@jamesenloe277 6 лет назад

the wheels on the trane go round and round and round!😃

@AdventuresUnited 6 лет назад

Hey gi joe the only reason we don’t want to disclose this location is we don’t want to get in trouble. Parts of this place could still be active :/ The only thing I can say is if you look in between Chattanooga and Cleveland in the Volunteer state you will be in the right area

@15mroush 6 лет назад

Adventures United you guys would know if it was active as soon as you walked on. Security check points and inspections. This place is definitely long gone and not active.

@bradyessary5668 6 лет назад

To your comment in the video wondering what might have been stored inside the vault, refer to page 57 of the document that can be viewed/downloaded via this link: www.hqda.army.mil/ACSIMWEB/brac/sites/TN/Bonney_OaksUSARCChattanooga/TN107%20Bonny%20Oaks%20USARC%20-%20Final%20ECP%20Complete.pdf. The entire document makes for interesting reading.

@AdventuresUnited 6 лет назад

Awesome thanks for sharing! I would have never would have guessed that. The building looked really old when we went, and we were surprised when we saw the recent calendars in there. That pdf you sent makes it look like just yesterday.

@bradyessary5668 6 лет назад

Adventures United ...I believe it was on Wikipedia that there is a full chronological history of the property... found that yesterday also. It's definitely cool to know the history of an area, especially one I've been to!

@saints1814 5 лет назад

I noticed the shiney steel on the tracks/ wheels of the train so used very recently lol

@screener545 6 лет назад

I think that base is still active as well. at least one building for security or something. Those train cars were not there more than a month. Lots of them looked to have brand new wheels on them and such and no visible rust on said wheels. Looked recently operated. The lack of graffiti is also concerning. Be safe out there and always pack heat!

Skip the selfie view please.

@mrmonstermunch3925 6 лет назад

lowtech81 Agree 👍

@AdventuresUnited 6 лет назад

Yeah sorry guys this was when we first started making videos. I watched too much exploring with Josh haha jk A lot of times I will do that view while Im on the move and trying not to stay in one location too long if you know what I mean. (Stealth) I feel like we are slowly getting better with time and I am trying to change up camera angles. I will definitely try to cut out using the selfie mode as much. haha On a side note we did get called by a studio in Hollywood to possibly start doing this for the Travel Channel so we might not have to worry about messing with the cameras at all in the future. Thanks for watching and giving us feedback friend. - Nate | Au

@technicholls 6 лет назад

Agreed, we know what you look like, we want to see what's in the buildings. I'm a new viewer to your channel and appreciate that so far I've not heard any cursing. So much RU-vid content is spoiled by objectionable language. I'm enjoying your work so far, keep it up.

@marcmason2079 5 лет назад

Those things you pons are not a pond. That's the old waste treatment you got dirty water and one from the showers toilets and other water and then the other one was where the clean water was sent to and then it was reused for showers toilets and drinking water. I know that because I used to work on a small treatment plant. That was designed just like it. At least that's what I'm going to suspect it was cuz it was all concreted in and it look like the remnants of what was left from a treatment facility on the property. A very basic treatment facility.

@ericscottstevens 4 года назад

Most valuable are those lockers but they are on the verge of getting roached out with rust. Porcelain items are gaining popularity again. That metal set of stairs is worth a lot. A lot of architectural salvage in metal fixtures. But hauling it out takes some real effort.

@ricjohns545 6 лет назад

Modern insulation, valves and dials in the boiler plant. Probably closed down within the last 15 years. The locker handles are newer models. Also you guys need the proper shoes, masks, eye protection and puncture proof gloves. A cut from anything on that base would seriously mess up your month or more. Really, brown loafers. Lack of graffiti usually indicates frequent security patrols or this base is waaaay out in the nothing-nothing lands.

@williegilligan2661 6 лет назад

Was the top of the railroad tracks rusty? just wondered if the train cars were abandoned too..

@prof_kaos9341 6 лет назад

My guess is this may be a site for the manufacture of chemical weapons or the assembly of projectiles, chemical ammo for artillery or missiles. FYI toward the end you show a underground bit with pipes and valves this would not be for storage but control gear for the process or for fire fighting very important in explosive manufacture/storage.

@plhebel1 6 лет назад

those huge and small step down transformers are still good, bet money on it,, only problem is moving them to a public utility to be used in a substation, they weigh 10 of tons

@kfourom 2 года назад

The Ravenna Army Depot in Ohio is still an active ammo area. It is about 5 miles by 15 miles big. The Radford army ammo plant is in Va and is 3 by 2 miles across. Radford will show you how ammo is made. It is an Army plant but it is run by contractors.

@kfourom 2 года назад

At an abandoned ammo plant like this one, you are more in danger from rusty sharp Iron and snakes than from chemicals and explosives. If there were any explosives left, Vandals would have blown them up. The buildings are spread out to reduce the chance that a single facility blowing up would not trigger an avalanche of other explosions.

It is not normal for railroads to run "thru" military bases. The military often has a lot of spurs, BUT, they are not for the railroad's non military use. All these railcars at this facility seem out of place. I might add, that I own railcars; so I am pretty informed as to who can use the tracks.

Asbestos...If your on an abandoned military base you can bet that they used it. Not just the lead issues. Even current military barracks have asbestos in them. Or at least the ones at FT Polk did, and that was only ten years ago. N95 or better needs to be used.

It looks like theres some activity I can see the roads are traveled and the wheels and tracks are SHINY on those train cars. It looks like they were carrying coal. I gotta wonder how many toxic chemicals there are and UNEXPLODED ORDINANCES on that property. Those pole top transformers and substation transformer look newer. That shower room looks newer with those 1970s looking tiles on the shower floor. I would also question the red ceramic tiles on that locker room floor they look like they are much newer than ww2. All the circuit breakers are much much newer than WW2 They would have screw in fuses if it was original 1940s stuff. Older transformers are black with brown bushings I didnt se any hear.
