Stealth Camping in Abandoned WW2 Machine Gun Pillbox

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Join me on a stealth camping overnight in an abandoned ww2 bunker or hardened field defence. We explore the concrete defences, and cook Spanish Military MRE's and then I spend the night alone in one of them. Over 28, 000 of these concrete pillboxes were built in Britain in 1940 but now around 6, 500 remain and almost all of them are abandoned and derelict bunkers. They were built as part of the british anti-invasion preparations of world war two

ARE there poison snakes or insect in that area. summer or winter seasons etc? I can imagine if the soldiers had to worry about that as well as keeping watch on long nights. Great videos! especially on Remembrance Day / Veterans Day. Semper Fi! awesome father and son time- I have 3 boys myself and complexly understand the time you are spending! Cheers from the woods of Maine! PS. is there a specific target of interest that the bunker was protecting? hospital, village, bank, etc?

Were i grew up we had niki site with Some cool bunckers and underground missile chambers and Machine gun structures structures with a long concrete paths leading to them. Tunnels and chambers all giant doors for truck to drive in they piled tons of dirt in frunt of them doors later it was turned in to a giant wine cellar.

they ( THE WALLS ANGLE ) are shaped like a aiming stakes, to provide times during low light and darkness that allowed the gun to traverse left or right in a set direction for a final protective fire - with interlocking fires. grazing fire is set from 2-4 feet above ground. the average height of a enemy soldier.

it was designed to stop a very specific line of advance, that other obstacle force the enemy to move too the wall of fire the box would have established. YOUR DAD WAS SAS? OMG! HERO BRO! HERO RIGHT THERE!

Another cracking vid. There is a pillbox near where I live, that has been lived in for the last 5 years by a homeless guy. I have left tins of food and a gortex jacket for the fella.

We used to do this as kids. We grew up on a housing estate that used to be a ww2 airfield. Loads of bunkers around the area. One of them was a battle headquaters

Amazing that the Government thought the Germans would use tiny canals to invade!
