Wow! My mind is blown! I was a Girl Scout as a kid. Occasionally I would meet A Girl Guide. I just looked the Girl Guides and found out that both organizations were founded by Lady Baden Powell! I’m 63 years old. I grew up in Washington State. In the 60’s, I attended a Girl Scout Jamboree at Peace Arch Park, on the US Canada Border near Blaine Washington. We were urged to get in a long line of hundreds and hundreds of Girl Scouts to meet Lady Baden Powell! I finally got to the front of the line and she smiled sweetly and asked my name and “how do you do?” She reached out a hand that looked arthritic and painful for a shake. I shook it gently. It was such an honor to meet her! I had no idea before today that both organizations had the same founder.
The property owners only invited you so they could see how it looks these days without walking through those woods themselves, because they knew you'd video it. ;)
OMG! One of the games on that shelf - Pirate and Traveler - was my favorite game as a kid! My mom loved it, too, and we’d play it endlessly. As soon as my daughter was old enough, I taught her how to play and she loved it, too. It was a history lesson, too, as countries changed names, etc. I still have it. I can actually remember when we bought it. It was Jan 1966 and my parents somehow won a gift certificate to a store that was like a KMart (called T-Way) in a bigger town near ours. It was for $50 which would be the same as nearly $500 now. We were so excited! We divided the money up with some going to my brother and myself, some to my parents, and some to things for the family. The game was one of the things we bought as a family acquisition. ETA: The game in the cabin was the 1960 version - it was updated and rereleased in 1970, so that gives an indication of the age of the camp. Those design on those playing cards looks familiar, but I can’t place the date on them. One of my friends had cards like those.
@@lizbrown7232 I thought the same, but maybe they were covered with mold which didn’t show on camera. I had all those games except Ratrace which I don’t remember ever seeing. I looked online and that version was released in 1967. The Booby Trap game was from 1964 - I think every kid got it for Christmas that year! 😂 It was actually more a fave of my brother. I wondered what the pattern was on the plates, too, but I know he was afraid to take one out and have them all tumble out! Fascinating that they were still all neatly stacked in their cupboard even when the wall the cupboard was on was no longer there and the cupboard itself was just standing upright on the ground! Amazing!
Alex please please get some sturdy boots and coveralls for times like this and keep them in the truck. Alex you don't need to step on a rusty nail and hurt yourself,we need you to stay safe.👍
I love shows exploring abandoned properties. My favorite on UA-cam is The Bearded Explorer. He is from England and he never breaks in and he never takes anything away. If you are going to keep doing this sort of thing Please bring someone with you. If you had fallen through that floor and hurt yourself how would you get home? Did you even have cell service there? Take better care of yourself, you are a very special person to us all.
I love watching those too! I got super frustrated seeing all the awesome houses especially in Canada being destroyed said reason "too expensive to heat or upkeep too expensive!" It was channel called exploring Abandon Mansions think thats it was all big homes and Mansions, Some of those beautiful homes should been saved IMO we know they'll never be built with details they have ever again. With the lumber business where it is now maybe the wasting of all the trees be looked at differently in the future?
Check out Bros of Decay. They have amazing finds! Old castles still filled with the original furniture like the people just got up and walked away. Sometimes there is even evidence of something being left on the stove in a pot as if they just cooked and then vanished.
This brought me back to the old summer cabins that lined the road to my childhood home on the Mississippi River. We found so many cool things exploring those dilapidated old places..
Ok, who here, besides me kept thinking, "This is how a 100 horror films start. A old abandoned camp site....Our innocent good looking hero walking alone...."
Some days are diamonds, some days are dirt. That was definitely a trip back in time. Love the pink chucks. I have a niece and two friends fighting breast cancer right now. That was a sweet surprise.
We used to go and explore this old resort on Lake Ontario that closed in the 1930s. It had tennis courts and all kinds of cool stuff. The property was huge.
Thanks Alex ! This took me back many years ago when I was active in our local Girl Scout program, from age 6-18. Boy howdy was it ever fun! We learned so much about so many things! It truly was a wonderful part bn of my life that I will always treasure and get alot of laughs from!! Peace to all...💜💙💜
As a 30+ year Girl Scout leader I would have loved to join Alexander on this adventure! A couple old wash basins brought back memories and yes, an odd assortment of dishes is exactly what would have stocked an old camp. Unfortunate the decay, but still very cool.
Here’s a man who’s a hell of a lot braver than I. There’s an old shed buried in the woods at my family farm in deep East Texas, with a dock behind it built out over the lake. It was clearly used for something because it has (or at least, had) wiring going to it, surely that wiring was sketchy. Been saying I’m gonna explore it for years and haven’t done it yet. Maybe this winter when the brush has thinned out a bit.
@@CuriosityIncorporated I plan to do that, probably at Thanksgiving. By that point the weeds will have thinned out a bit and I might stand a chance at getting to it! 🤣 I’ll certainly film video when it happens.
Alex, this is Halloween month! You fell prey to a classic spooky movie plot. Someone "invited" you to come alone out into the woods and look for an abandoned camp. I was so glad when you got out of there in one piece, lol. Sorry you drove all that way for no treasure. But it's always fun to watch you.
Yup. Tuck them all into that enamel tub and it would have at least paid for his gas and his time being out there! For sure those were all Fire King. Some mugs with certain shaped handles are going for hundreds.
There are You Tubers who just film abandoned houses. Amusement Parks, Schools etc. One home had cars and completely furnished, right down to the mail. Calendar on wall was 40 yeats old.Weird
I think there's a rule with people who explore abandoned buildings, to leave everything as they found it, and don't take anything. At least, the ones I watch do that.
Not surprising there were still lots of dishes, given that they were left there in the first place. Pottery is one of the more durable sort of artifact archaeologists can expect to find, thousands of years on.
Could swear those red plates were fiesta ware and the red ones are sought after as the glaze used was radioactive. I would have also grabbed those 3 enameled pans.
I think the point was they didn’t pack that up before abandoning it. Artifacts you’ll see pottery dishes in just a few pieces not a dinner set for 30. Lol
@@tinabranch321 They may not have meant to abandon it. They might have simply closed it down for season like they normally do, and never went back for some reason.
Yes. When your foot went through the floor, you could have easily broken or sprained your ankle. Then getting back to your truck would have been a real horror. As often as you go out picking in the woods or fields, you really should keep a pair of sturdy hiking boots in your truck to change into when needed.
That coffee cup at 6:38 appears identical to the cups that our family bought when a restaurant owner decided rather than raise the price of a cup of coffee he would sell those cups, buy smaller cups and charge the same amount of money! Those vitrified hotel ware cups are great for holding the heat of a hot drink. Thanks Alex for taking us along on your trip. Not exactly light, small branches or easy going.
I would have hauled dishes and stuff out of there!! Not you because there's no resale value but I like the old stuff to use and it makes me happy to look at it. I guess because I'm remembering seeing things like all that when I was a kid. No one bought new stuff just to be buying it. Use it up, patch it up, wear it out.
That white enamel ware was calling to me as well. As long as it was not chipped and rusty. Would have checked the oven for cast iron as that is hot in some places as well. But I am not a business so that is different.
@@markpashia7067 How about that big aluminum pot with lid! I have one I use to (water bath) can. I didn't get a good look at the chair frames, they're probably trash but new remakes are beyond my budget.
The board games were just sitting on a shelf waiting to be played. Glad you made your way through there okay. I wonder what it really looked like when it was in use. Thank you Alex, it was very interesting.
That was really strange. You would think if they had disbanded the items would have been cleared. It's like a movie and the Girl Guides vanished leaving no trace other than the camp. Felt eerie.
I was about to say I was surprised no one had made a path and renovated the cabin to be useful again Then I see the collapsed roof and was immediately thought well that explains why
Amazing that there was no trace of an access road or a path left , nature is relentless and non stop . In a few more years that will all be a few piles of rotting wood . Strange how the few bits of it are still hanging on .
A chainsaw would have been very helpful on that excursion . I believe I enjoyed it more than you did 😊 . I hope one day your efforts in checking out deserted buildings yields some sort of holy grail . You deserve it.
My thought is that in winter it would’ve hard to put hard lumps on your feet. So maybe in a work bag that you take with you. His shoes look fun though. Part of the theatre background of his I guess.
Some time ago I read in an real estate advertisement the blasphemous phrase: "...waits for revitalization". Yeah, here too. Just a little bit of work... :-)
Thank you for wonderful Sunday exploring of old abandoned camp. I love exploring old location after learning about it's history. It is fun and exciting to see old history of locations with your own eyes and you can preserve it by filming the location before it is totally took over by nature and decade destruction. I would to see more exploring abandoned locations with your commentary.
Interesting. We have a girl guide camp still in use and it has cabins, a cook house, a log cabin (the original building on the land), a shower/washroom and even an outdoor pool. It seems strange that there wasn't more buildings there but maybe it was a camping spot and that was just the cook house?
Girl Scouts in the states had all levels of "camps" depending on how much population and the wealth of the parents. Poor areas with low population had to make do with less. The large cities would build huge District wide camps for all groups including the outlying groups to use for a week in the summer on rotating schedules. Local areas had what they could afford to supplement with smaller gatherings if possible. Also most were donated land. No land, no camp. Then they needed donated materials and labor to build their structures. If they got that far, they would be allotted a small budget to run them sometimes. Ex wife was very involved and I ended up as an advisor and badge instructor for a few things like archery and map reading (compass and weigh points mostly plus contour maps).
It’s pretty cold now in the North. I am thinking that they are hibernating by now. Make a lot of noise just in case. Only garter snakes up here which are not too dangerous. Tics are probably the worse here.
Your trek through the woods is reminding me of horror films where the victim runs into the woods to get away from the killer. Uh, yeah, there's no running in the woods.
Bid a lot yesterday so I have a good start for Christmas. The Afro Aero coin will be good for my grandson ( he is in engineering)as my husband always talks about that company.
Alex, if you insist on exploring these kinds of places, you really need to get yourself some sturdy hiking boots and some good leather gloves. You could do yourself some serious damage walking around in Chuck Taylors with nothing on your hands. Of course, on this trip a machete might have been good to have too!
@@olliejilliangil8382 It's not an order, it's a suggestion from a grown man who has in fact damaged himself more than once by neglecting some basic safety precautions. Call it the "voice of experience" if you like. He is certainly free to ignore the suggestion if he likes.
Wow! My mind is blown! I was a Girl Scout as a kid. Occasionally I would meet A Girl Guide. I just looked the Girl Guides and found out that both organizations were founded by Lady Baden Powell!
I’m 63 years old. I grew up in Washington State. In the 60’s, I attended a Girl Scout Jamboree at Peace Arch Park, on the US Canada Border near Blaine Washington. We were urged to get in a long line of hundreds and hundreds of Girl Scouts to meet Lady Baden Powell!

Every posting from you is an uplifting blessing. Do you know you make life better?

My daughter was just at Girl Guide (Pathfinder) camp last weekend. She went to the same camp I went to as a girl 30 years ago.
OMG! One of the games on that shelf - Pirate and Traveler - was my favorite game as a kid! My mom loved it, too, and we’d play it endlessly. As soon as my daughter was old enough, I taught her how to play and she loved it, too. It was a history lesson, too, as countries changed names, etc. I still have it. I can actually remember when we bought it.
It was Jan 1966 and my parents somehow won a gift certificate to a store that was like a KMart (called T-Way) in a bigger town near ours. It was for $50 which would be the same as nearly $500 now. We were so excited! We divided the money up with some going to my brother and myself, some to my parents, and some to things for the family. The game was one of the things we bought as a family acquisition.
ETA: The game in the cabin was the 1960 version - it was updated and rereleased in 1970, so that gives an indication of the age of the camp. Those design on those playing cards looks familiar, but I can’t place the date on them. One of my friends had cards like those.
Sad the vintage board games weren't rescued. Even if Alex just took them for the property owners.

Enamel ware
Yeah, don't know why Alex didn't take some of those things. He had permission.
Oh, those big white enamel dish pans. They looked like they could be used. That was quite a trek for you.
I'm thinking that those big cooking pots might be valuable too, but it would be a major effort to get them out through all that brush.
Glad you made it out, Alexander, and didn’t get lost in the woods!

I love exploring abandoned places!
That was interesting to see. Wild isn't it, how the board games look so nice when the building has decayed all around them.
I was surprised he didn't take them. But I guess they would be hard to sanitize with birds nest, poop and what not.
loving the pink converse for Breast cancer awareness month!
This brought me back to the old summer cabins that lined the road to my childhood home on the Mississippi River. We found so many cool things exploring those dilapidated old places..

I really enjoyed that adventure , Alexander! I was happy to see you had your Chucks on and not sandals.:-) Hope your back didn't give out!
Thankfully the cooler weather makes him safer. Canvas shoes were never allowed in gs camps.
Bid a lot yesterday so I have a good start for Christmas. The Afro Aero coin will be good for my grandson ( he is in engineering)as my husband always talks about that company.
Remember what happened to the cat and his Curiosity for adventure Alex. LOL :)
THAT MILK GLASS , HOTEL PLATES AND THOSE SCRAMIC TIN BOWLS ARE GOOD MONEY . MUCH LOV
Alex, if you insist on exploring these kinds of places, you really need to get yourself some sturdy hiking boots and some good leather gloves. You could do yourself some serious damage walking around in Chuck Taylors with nothing on your hands. Of course, on this trip a machete might have been good to have too!
I am always screaming “gloves!” at these videos!
But, he’s a grown man who can make his own choices.
@@olliejilliangil8382 It's not an order, it's a suggestion from a grown man who has in fact damaged himself more than once by neglecting some basic safety precautions. Call it the "voice of experience" if you like. He is certainly free to ignore the suggestion if he likes.
I was going to post the same comment! Sturdy boots and work gloves and at least a pocket knife next time please!😺
My thought was waiting to see that he was wearing sandals😂😂
