We Explored Inside the World’s Largest Picnic Basket *Abandoned* 

Epic editing and superb narration with a metal gear solid feel. What more could you ask for ?!?!

Cool video. I worked there from July of 1999 until October of 2004. Lots of great memories. I recognize every place you explored. I had a cubicle space on the 5th floor right near the elevator lobby. The job I did there gave me unrestricted access to every part of the facility. The underground parking garage is pretty cool and what used to be the security control room was located at the bottom of the delivery ramp right next to the parking garage. It literally looks exactly the same. Even the furniture and office chairs are the same.

I was born & raised in Newark, Ohio. I worked across East Main Street at My Place Day Care in my teens during construction. People were in awe of this building. So sad to see it sitting empty.

FYI this building was built in honor and to appear as the Medim Market basket not a picnic basket. It was Dave's dream to have his people work in a basket. The med market basket aka. '500' if you're an old school basketmaker from Longaberger. The large picnic basket was the 300 which I personally have made hundreds, if not thousands of. Good video guys.

This is the way it looked when it was Longaberger. The top floor was where the CEO and President of Longaberger offices was. There was a beautiful granite bathroom there. It does look like a hotel but it has looked that way since 1999, when I was working there. There is a large underground parking also.

Dude this place is so cool! Crazy that it's still abandoned and in such good condition

Really appreciate the history and background of the areas you explore! Makes it more mysterious and exciting 😮💜

Awesome! I've been waiting for years to see inside here. Thanks lads.

I loved this video. Cool commentary and the building is so cool especially because it’s got no graffiti and is untouched for the most part

This is an amazing video. Always wondered how it looked on the inside. Thanks for sharing it with us

Well done!

The medium market basket was my fifth basket purchase from Longaberger, and, I still have it to this day, among many other designs. 30 plus years later and I still buy them. Dresden and Company makes baskets too, and at much more affordable prices. Just got a snowman and stocking basket from them.

It is incredible! The last thing that scared me on an explore was a sheep! Squatters are scary too! They just wanted to explore too!

That would make a good place for a residence for the elderly

Broooo. This place is wild

Did you not have permission to be there?? How did you get inside? So many questions.... this was a fun video

Thanks it is still empty. My friend ran the crane that set the handles on the building.

It’s vacant, not abandoned. It’s just waiting on a new tenant or buyer.

I appreciate the video even if a small few don't, urban exploration is awesome and I was hoping to start doing a little myself soon, I got a location picked out and this video really inspired me to follow through, thank you guys. Update: I went to the wagner and swaysey Observatory in cleveland at night... yeah, that wasn't smart, I heard people talking and a metalic bang while I was on the second floor. I was there for about 25 minutes, but it was cool to see all the graffiti n stuff. That place has a creepy vibe at night, and the gunshots in the distance didn't help, so needless to say I didn't go to the basement but 10/10 would recommend durring the day time, night time at your own risk, but make sure you have something to defend yourself, that neighborhood is rough...

This building needs to be fixed up and used to do something else. We can't let this icon building get torn down. People by the thousands stop and look at it every year. It would be a great place for recreation, like turn in into an indoor amusement park, or be a headquarters for outdoor recreation, overseeing Ohio's many state parks and monuments. I am sure it would be a great attraction just to go inside of it. I see this icon each time landing on a plane into John Glenn Airport. It better looking than The Gate Way Arch in St. Louis. We cannot let this go to waste and let it be torn down.

Just drove by this today. You guys are brave for going inside lol But awesome footage of the inside!

Only in Ohio 💀

the front door was open? i want to fly a drone inside

What an incredible building!!

Great video will check more out

I’d love to tour this building as well as the farmstead!

I remember going there as a kid when it was open!

Did you find Yogi Bear....he loves pick a nik baskets

My mom has a whole collection of these signed and everything worth cople hundred at least

Bro have you recorded the video and are going to premiere it

In like 2014-15 I was in 9th grade and had notebooks with beautiful buildings on its cover, longaBerger was one of them

I seen this before when I was on the road 😅

Jc’s dad built that

"this is insane" "this is incredible" ... calm down fellas

Who came from the memes 👇

Does Yogi Bear live there??

Average house in Ohio:

dont use subtitles

I don’t believed you didn’t have permission, you’re over acting. So dramatic. 🙄

Trespassing is a crime. I believe what you did is criminal. I considered Dave Longenberger as a friend. He was a great man and visionary. So sad that he left this world suffering from cancer, leaving everything to his greedy daughters. If you ever come back to Newark or Licking County, I hope you are arrested and given a fine and jail time. Seems you think you are above the law!
