I remember when the property was full of those bunkers. We used to drive by there all the time on the way to Devils Lake and Devils Head.

THE FRAG.

Correct, my current job is managing 4 of those MSA’s and keeping inventory for the Army, Marines and USAF.

@@moparjoel1 I was USAF AMMO for 20 years, retired last March.

They U.S. Military abandoned this base after Vietnam War cause of environmental concerns as chemicals an other stuff that causes of cancer

They’ll open it back up to put Americans in. Cause no one will be ably to own a home or a car.

So...Who is storing stuff in the buildings?

It's used by Ho-Chunk nation, and USDA experimental research (basically farm testing). There is plans to add a new rocket testing area as well.

Yo mind dropping the address tryna go check it out today also in the area

Where is this

You can go here it's partially open to the public as state land, the parts with buildings are mostly owned by the Ho-Chunk indians and they do patrol those parts. To access this area you will enter via us 12 just a bit after the big hill the public entrance is located at 43.3700908, -89.7676228

Cmon flappy tell us!

Wisconsin...

The museum was closed when I went ☹️

Lol then forget what I said. But seriously, little museum is cool. Plus, they sell BOW hats that look like vault boy from fallout.

I have biked by those reservoirs and looked down the access hole that goes about 30 feet down, I didn't go down tho

I was just about to say the same that he missed the water tanks lol

Shoot - now he doesn't seem nearly so brave, not being "in danger" and all. When you can talk to the old man at the entrance museum, lol! It was immediately obvious this place hadn't been abandoned since Nam - in much too good repair, fresh hay in modern round bales, maintained farm machinery, people there. What some guys won't do for You Tube cred.

Why

Why do you call him dense?

Sauk prairie recreation area, formally badger munitions

​​@IAM_GhosT1 you mean Sauk, not suck right? Please?

@@BigWheel. Yes, thank you my auto correct doesn't like Sauk for some reason lol That or I was offhandedly thinking about the speed limit dropping from 55 > 35 lol

It’s still good to know where these things are in the case of major catastrophic events. The govt would likely take in stragglers, as it would mean more hands to do what needs to be done and to fill gaps in lost personnel that didn’t make it in time.

Yes they are. I work with them daily. Meant to prevent propegation to other buildings or important assets

they do evil in those places it was probably used to kill people in

Yes, plus there are four larger bunkers that have a raised platform that were utilized for making rocket engines. Sadly one of them was involved in an accident that instantly ended the lives of four people when a rocket engine exploded well they were working on it.

looks like camp to me a prison one @@IAM_GhosT1

Exploring with Wade thank you homie

That's insane!!

😮

They only made propellants, not munitions, and yes the surrounding areas got contaminated, but not with lead. They did make test munitions but that wasn't a major function of the facility. The propellants were sent elsewhere to be assembled into ordinance.

😂 sure thing

Yeah I still cannot explain how they found me multiple times besides my drone possibly, but even then, it was so remote... I just can't wrap my head around it

@@StringerMedia That sounds like what Glen Campbell found around Area 51. He dug up sensors buried underground and other detection devices on the public land outside the perimeter of the base where it was not illegal for people to be. Many sensing devices plus the cameras is the only explanation that makes sense. Otherwise, I don't see how they located you so many times in such a remote area either.

The farm equipment is owned by the Dairy Forage Research Center. They now own a portion of this property, and have been farming the land for many, many years. Badger Army Ammunition Plant has not been in production for decades, most of the buildings have been torn down, and the land has been divided up. The research center was given some of the land, as well as nearby Devil’s Lake State Park and the Ho Chunk Nation.

Just a FYI, the government leases property to farmers. So yea. I'm pretty sure he's wasn't happy to see random people around the millions of dollars worth of machinery

Yes I should order some soon. I want to revisit and go camping here one day

Snowman 💯💯

What’s the town name?

Much is still there

I filmed that too

That was the plan, till my parents said no. There's always next time though 😈

Get one of those super fast e-bikes, super stealthy 🥷

@@wasntme3651they are fn fast too. I just rode one for the first time... I've always risen dirt bikes and I was shocked at the get up it had

Get a electric one just for stealth

Your gonna want a Bladed weapon when you go down into those tinnels.

This is Badger Army Ammunition Plant between Baraboo and Sauk City, Wi.

@@lezlie5513 Yep that’s the place.

It's called tyranny or if you prefer gov overreach Gov has plenty of land. Needless

No they don't. Our military removes any and all explosives prior to closing their bases.

That is why they are still finding things on closed Ft Ord.

@@killeruploadz9037 unlike America 😂

Darwin! 👍

Stored munitions are moved. Unexploded (fired) munitions are left as it is almost impossible to find all of them. Stay out of UXO areas. There should be signs posted, but not always

Could have been many times throughout

Mavic air. Just got it a week or two ago 😁

YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE REPELLING EQUIPMENT WITH YOU TO GO DOWN AND GET BACK UP OUT OF THE TUNNELS.

where is this located?

Mike Williams II thanks bro

@@StringerMedia be safe because of the virus bro!!

Wisconsin

Between Sauk City and Baraboo WI

Technically it is all abandoned after they stopped using it. The farmers just happened to put some hay in there

I did lots of research on this place before going. I hope to one day explore every abandoned military ground in the United States. Very cool stuff to me. If you research badger ammunition plant you will see incredible pictures of what this once was. Every building in the video there would have been 20-100 of them if not more. This was the largest ammunition plants in the world, at one time. Keep in mind. That is why I said it was from WW2 the largest.

It was also used through the 70s so whats "original" is more likely to be Vietnam era and not WW2.

@@StringerMedia this was built around the same time as Ravenna Arsenal in Ohio, the Ravenna Arsenal was something like 22,000 acres,. Badger was around 7,500 acres

@@markhenry2558 Wow, that's cool - never knew about some of these other ammunition plants. I grew up near the Iowa Army ammunition plant. Didn't know the size but knew it was big, so I just looked it up & it was around 19,000 acres. Everyone knew that anyone who worked there (including a couple relatives of mine) never talked about what they actually made there. Took until the 2000's for the pentagon to figure out it needed to be - & became - a superfund cleanup site & they had to pay millions in settlements to (surviving) employees from the atomic bomb making time for the cancers & illnesses they had gotten from working there - even a cousin of mine who just worked in laundry (of their uniforms).

@@StringerMediayou should take before and after photos and try to photo the same spots you found past photos of online

Dji Mavic air

Many thanks!

Me too

They use badger for exercises, it’s not unusual that they would be flying over.

@@baileemuth4110 that’s what I was thinking, they seemed like regular flight patterns after I jotted down the course. Must’ve been some night flying training

I was here once last year and the sheriff's were running speed traps up and down 78 with two choppers. They had there spotlights on and kept flying over my car / me every 2 minutes, considering I was trying to look at the stars it was really obnoxious. One at least slightly changed there flight path for me as to not directly light me up. I know they were speed trapping as I tuned in with my scanner.

Update as of April 2024, the nitro bunkers were still there on my recent hike there. The ammo catches that lead into the side of the bluffs aren't bunkers sadly. They only go about 20-30 feet. They were filled with sand at the end of the plants life in the 90s. They were primarily used as a backstop to catch bullets when testing cannon rounds 20mm or larger. They are marked on old maps of the facility as "cannon range". You can see projectile impacts all around the sides and top of the back stops. Really strange to walk there knowing it used to be a live cannon range but cool if you can make your way in from the bluffs. I don't advise trespassing on the native lands to get there but you can still get in through the surrounding state park lands if you look for the right stop. The openings to the catches have been fences off again but you can still climb in if you're willing to. The building that used to house the cannons was recently demolished for safety since it was in a state of immense decay. The whole site is mainly open to the public but the nitro bunkers are still marked as a restricted area. You can still venture to them but I'd bring a respirator in case of asbestos or any other airborne particles. I would avoid going there during the day since many folks hike and walk the roads surrounding it and has a very open approach.

bro watch the video. I don't think you'd wanna go after what happened

Well I have been told that I love going tru the older base & I don't run away hopefully I can find a way in

There is currently a young 13 year old boy that's missing in that area. They believe he might be on those grounds somewhere. Some Locals fearing hes passed away somewhere in there...

In the bunker? Wtf that’s interesting that it would be there

@@StringerMedia I have no idea where you were but I grew up at a WWII Manhattan Project site developing plutonium and other weapons of war. Those type of showers were common along with the eyewash stations you passed in that big lab. IMHO the reason it’s still monitored is that there are plenty of deadly chemicals “buried or dumped” in places on the property even the old timers couldn’t remember where. Trust me the areas I worked in they’d bulldoze a trench 100 feet deep and several football fields long. Then they’d just drive drive the bulldozers, trucks, barrels , tools that were highly radioactive, not keep accurate records and dig the next trench. Stay safe.

@@StringerMedia it looked like a test chamber where the scientists could look in a peephole to see what’s happening. If the worst happens they can be washed off. When I say washed off, at least with radiation, it’s with Tide and a wire brush until your body isn’t contaminated More useless info to know and tell. 😂

@@psleep4255 geez man that is crazy. I’ve been to several toxic sites but nothing major has happened to me. Hard to imagine walking over a dumping ground would do much

@@psleep4255 ohhh in the lab I see what you mean haha. I couldn’t tell the lab any different than my high school science rooms lol

Says it in the first second of the video dude

Thanks man

You missed it. Don't want many to find out hope you understand

Much appreciated!

It was up for a day or two. And if u watched the video I was on a bike mate

Well poop I guess I missed it that kinda sucks
