Exploring A Strange Scary Camp In The Woods

- I discovered this strange camp in the woods while out on another adventure. After verifying that the people camping there were trespassers and had been run off of the property, I decided to explore what they left behind and discovered some unlawful activity.
About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my UA-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.

Today I check out a camp I discovered while metal detecting.
I'm interested in a follow up
Yeah Chig, pretty sure that was a Grow Op, just ask anyone from California that's had to deal with one, but at least they didn't leave Car Batteries and other Toxic substances lying around like they do out there.
Camps like that here to but a lot of needles everywhere so becareful
Oh my nenith Chigg, you stumbled across a once bustling un- civil war base camp.
Don't lie it's really your home chig lol
Well done on disarming that trap. Its a horrible thing to think of something innocent stuck in there.
What a sad situation. And what a mess on the farmer's property. Thank you for disarming the trap, Beau.❤️
Hey how about we legalize marijuana and eliminate the criminal element? What a great idea!
Now em poor folk a go hungry the possom he mite have caught would feed them for a day or two.
I was a homeless vet never left a mess no way to live thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you for your service!
Yeah I hate when people leave traps out and don't check them. One time I found a dead cat in a trap exactly like that one, and that was years ago and I'm still mad about it.
That’s sickening
I heard it was his ninth live?
So it's all good
I hope there is a special place in H*ll for the person that left a cat to starve to death.
@@battlethebollocksrodgers9173 What a stupid attitude. Hope you find yourself in a trap
That is something i'd never get over as well. That's why I don't even use poison for mice anymore, because I hate thinking a mouse might eat a bunch and wander off somewhere where a poor cat/snake/bird finds them and also gets poisoned.
Our country is in such a bad way right now, I don’t what else to say😣😖😖😖
Brandon disagrees.
Impeach biden , put the business man that won back in office, I don't dig communism , it's not what built this Country, hard work built this country 💪
Victimless crime anywhere Burglary is becoming more brazen
Ur exactly rite
😰😰😰😰
I remember years ago when you stumbled into that rather large weed patch. The helicopter flying overhead with you stuck on the ground trying not to be seen . That was hilarious. We were glad you made it out of that situation.🤣
It's probably still there. Maybe I'll check it out this summer.

Devil's Lettuce 😆
That was hilarious 😂
@Aquachigger lol, I remember that too, you've really been in some sh#t on your adventures, huh? 😆
Awesome old stone fence. I live in the Texas Hill Country, where a lot of German settlers constructed similar fences from the mid 1800's all over the area.
Enjoyed the video! Stay safe.
The "stone" (rock) fences were how they marked their property lines, or that is what my grandmother told me. They didn't have metal fence and if they were available, they were to expensive to purchase. I am in the Texas Hill Country also.
@@mawmawshomesteadpreparedness there is one you can see in ohio off the turnpike close to toledo.
Veterans should never have to be homeless. Amen to that.
No human is immune to life.
If one risks their life for their country, they should have a place to stay once retired or homeless. I think the British had retreats / barracks for old soldiers. Druggies can go ...
The government seems to be giving more and more money away to those who have no correlation to the United States. Administration after administration has failed to properly care for those who risked their lives for said government who told them they’d be taken care of for their service. I hate the Russian/Ukraine situation but if we had billions to send right away on the command on Zelensky then certainly veterans are purposefully getting shafted.
Exactly. I'm a veteran and I never been homeless living in the wild but I seen many who have and it's not easy but you learn the hard way about how to survive. I wouldn't survive out on the streets as I am now a type 1 diabetic.
One thing to remember that no one seems to realize is that there is no such thing as homelessness. Your place of origin(where you are from) is your home. The correct term should be "without shelter" unless you have survival training and can make all the things you need by which it would be called " stealth housing". That's just how I look at it 🤷♂️
I have known a couple people that hated being inside 4 walls. I don't know if it's paranoia or PTSD or what but they preferred to be outside in a tent or cave or just out in the open. Even in the winter. Typical Modern life doesn't fit everyone.
Chigg you know they're likely to come back...thanks for snapping the animal trap...
It looks absolutely abandoned.
For one thing growing season isn’t in .
I believe you can tell the character of a man by how he treats animals. Thank you
Agree 100%!
So if you kill animals to survive does that make you one?
I had to clean up a camp, about half that size, near a rental I own. It was awful. I talked to the people, and honestly I felt bad for them. Nice people, just ruined by drugs. They left, and left all their stuff just like that. Cost me half a day and $60 dump fee to clean it up.
Thank you for disarming that trap! I hate those things! Anytime I see those in my clients properties I always trigger it!
That definitely seemed like a long term camp. Notice how the trees are growing around the clothes lines tied around them.
You wonder how all that stuff gets out there, that would take trips on foot.
I used to find these kind of camps when hiking up in the sierra nevadas... They'd damn up little channels to gather snow melt, then run black ranch hose further down to their grows. A-holes always left tons of junk and trash, though my own garden has benefitted from the spoils left behind (hose, drip-emitters, fertilizer, tools, etc...).
Exactly, it's impossible to steal garbage.
I live in Reno, & ran across a few grows in my time on BLM land myself!
How random things are in their strange scatter. Over there a power strip, mug tree and office chair, over here a survival guide, rock hammer and camouflaged bucket. Then as if meant to be hanging there in the midst of all this oddity, a sweet sentiment about Mother. My feelings like yours are mixed, feeling sad for the soul who lives this life, while simultaneously miffed at the wreck they left behind. I hope they've moved on and found their way in this world. I wish everyone could. I'll admit I had to giggle at the conjured images of "bad hombres" growing "devil's lettuce" because when you know, you know and I'm glad I do.
Wow that is really sad. I wish they would not leave their trash. What about that stone wall. That was so cool !
Stone fences are everywhere in the New England States.
They served two purposes i.e., to remove the rocks from the field you were tiling and to serve as property line demarcations.
Great work springing that trap. People who do that and don't come back are just sick.
It's a shame that the garbage is left out there. I see it up here in Pennsylvania as well. I do a lot of river fishing from a boat. The banks are covered with trash from the homeless as well as flooding.
Looks like a camp you'll find in any city in America. There's one in the brush near me off the bike trail. Get used to it. We'll all be there sooner than you think.
I know of dozens near me that I can visit any time. Not many are combined with illegal grow operations though.
True that!
I see alot of these where I stay. In places I would have never thought, to me, they were just Woods, once upon a time. Now people live there. Sad. Thanx for springing that trap.
We don't have this and Republican states and cities in America we do not allow it vote out the Liberals you can stop It 2
“Hey sheriff, here’s a spot you might want to keep an eye on this spring.” Pointing to a map.
I was in the Army in North Carolina in 1970 and I used to run 5 miles or so a day. I had a special old logging trail I ran all the time and I got bored with it and one day I took a turn about half way through and after 1/4 mile or so off trail I ran dead through a hobo camp, I was in the middle of it before I even realized it and I was freaked out a bit and so were all the people jumping out of tents and from under tarps, scared the heck out of each other. There was a huge pile of cans and bottles, so they had been there a while.
We ran across an active moonshine still deep in the mountains of North Georgia while on a patrol with the US Army. We had a Ranger School near there. The still was cooking off a batch and we just walked right on through and went on our way. Never saw anybody, but we all felt we were being watched. Never said anything about it when we got back to camp.
That's what I would do.... as long as they kept the place clean. ;)
@@dabprod Southern Comfort.
Reminds me of a time, me walking through and usual gorger/mountain stream in Venezuela, in the Avila mountain so... by Caracas. Got in and I really felt watched, really uneasy. Months earlier I was told, along with other people, that deep into the gorge there was homeless people living in it. So, adding to the fact that at the base of the mountain, were it meets with the residential areas of the city, the mountain stream is a usual place for witchcraft rituals with animal sacrifices included. I creeped out and never came back to that area alone.
@@michaelthomas989 LOL....yeah, but without the swamp.
It's so sad on so many levels. I'm glad you're going back! Ty Chigg..
Be careful around camps like that , it could be a little dangerous you never know if they are armed.
I dont know if they were armed, but I do know that Chigg often is. He knows what he's doing.
@@Pancreaticdefect Problem is nowadays if you need to defend yourself in a perfectly justified incident with a legal firearm & then deemed a political adversary or our current marxist government.. you up sh*ts creek
True nowadays many criminal armed antifa thugs hide in the forest .
@@k1j2f30 One arm that can shoot evens out the odds. I've always wondered how many city thugs belong to a gun club. They get a free box of rounds with every gun purchase. Lots of knuckleheads around here are buying the full auto conversion kit for a Glock. Problem is you pull the trigger and you dump the mag. Can't hit a dam thing. Between the conversion kits and bump stocks there has never been any practical use for them.
@@sentient8146 they are absolutely a waste of time, I never could understand the issue gov had with bump s , it just waste rounds
You see this everywhere around Nashville. There are homeless camps near every stream and wooded area.
You also see dozens of very nice hirise apartments being built.
Vote out the liberals who allow this
As a avid smoker and grower of pot. Its appalling to me that people do to land that is not their own. You find this in our national forest all the time and it gives the community a bad rap all around.
It's pretty common. If you grow it on your own land, you can lose your land through "civil forfeiture" for maintaining a criminal enterprise. It's always best to use someone else's land, or so I have heard.
@@aquachigger Decriminalize the plant, and a large part of the problem goes away. The traps, trash, and trespassing, are all I have a problem with.
People probably come back there at night, that's my guess... It's definitely not abandoned except in the daytime to make it look as if they've left.
They left in a hurry probably because farmer said cops were on their way. Took only what they needed and any growing plants. It looks older to me. The way leaves and stuff have settled on the ground.
I don't think that's the case. He would've seen tracks and everything would've been set up for use and not stowed away. That being said, judging by the condition of the cardboard and the way the tarps are still hanging, it seems as if it was pretty recently abandoned. One big storm or even enough days of dew/ sunlight would've made that cardboard start to deteriorate. You can almost guarantee that this person plans on coming back though.
🙋♀ Thanks Chigg!👍😁
Homelessness is a problem now days that is going to have to be addressed and hopefully with kindness. It’s not so much the people as it is a disease. Veterans especially need our help.
I agree. I am a veteran myself.
Couldn't agree more. Where I live, the city is housing illegals by the thousands in hotels. Yet, the homeless citizens and veterans get the boot. Doesnt make sense too me. Politics aside.
Compared to the homeless camps around here, this one is very tidy.
Holy molly dude, it's a camp. Had the pleasure of cleaning up hundreds of those. And nobody is growing weed in the woods especially in Feb.. Recommend you don't poke around with your hands to much, there will be needles. There is no rhyme or reason to what you see there. They really like any kind of electric cords, always lots of those. Used to clean them up by hand, now we use a skid steer. Best not to look to close, less nightmares.
Literally just saw your Instagram post about springing traps! Very glad your taking care of business!
Interesting. How did you get on with that access road to your river front land?
Thanks for springing the trap.
That camp reminds me of the one in Martinsburg, VA . By the Martins store at the intersection of 9 and 11, Williamsport Pike. 🤔. We had to be escorted to the back door of the store to make our deliveries. Sad to see people in our own country living like that.
Come on Mr.Chigg ! It could have been just an innocent basketball camp!😂
Kinda looks like a yard sale here in northern Michigan.😉
They probably had a generator based upon the corded tools, fuel cans and outlet strip.
Glad to see your videos!
Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else
It looks like both camps there's carpet runners and wall hangers lol
Found camps like this in the desert an California, an in Florida to. But you will know when you walk into a grow area, they get really scary, not only the humans, but really nice booby traps to, been there. Thx for the vid
I Love those small trees that are twisted like a walking cane.....That cardboard with tape is not weathered at all
What a mess! I feel bad for the poor farmer. Looks like they were there for awhile.
If I came across that here I would alert law enforcement.
11:50 that’s for beer obviously… thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
It's a terrible situation especially for our veterans who fought for their country
I've gone through many homeless camps and the amount of useable stuff usually left behind boggles my mind. I have a collection of tools, high quality back packs, entire unopened tents and camping gear etc.........thousands of dollars worth of stuff just abandoned. It's nuts.
they stole it so they don't care. scumbags!
Ya, I can't understand that, why they won't take their stuff. To the next place, only thing I can come up with is their getting govt or some other organizations
All this stuff for free, or at my tax payer expense.
Most is given to them through gov. and local charities agencies. You don’t have to pay for it, means little attachment to things. Homeless move as light as possible, then amass more stuff.
There are programs in many states that hand out tents and other camping supplies to homeless people. Of course most of them are fentanyl addicts, and probably either forget or just never use said equipment. They don't care to take care of it, because they can always get more from the various NGOs and state programs. It's way past time that we secure the border and truly take the right out of the various Mexican cartels..
Wow. Just wow. Thanks for sharing, stay safe.
Sure hope your packing, Chig!
Oh he is, and he carries a gun too.
Yes never know better to have and not need then not to have and be in a world of hurt.
If you start hearing banjoes strumming run Ghigg.
wow ty for showing the real camps.had no idea ..
Cool Van! 😉👍
Thanks for another adventure. I do enjoy buzzing camps beforehand via drone. If there is life, they usually run like fire. lol. Don't understand how they can have so much trash at some....actually all of them.
Is nice to see you bro! Cool content!
The only time I ever used a live trap like that was to get raccoons that were getting into my garage. I caught two at once in the same trap. I used fish guts for bait after a week of nothing else working. They about ripped the chain out of the ground trying to escape.
They were climbing up the corner outside then pushing up the soffit to get inside. Crazy critters.
They are super strong.
They're not very good stewards of the land.
Im glad you sprung that trap Beau! U got me sprung!

Recent abandonment if abandoned. That boot and that book haven't been out there long.
Since lots of businesses have been closed down in the last few years there's loads more homeless people who have lost everything including there family and friends and they probably live in woods because it's a lot safer than on the streets. I know I would rather do that.
Please be careful. There could be other traps for humans in these old marijuana grows. I lived near a mining claim, and found where someone had run pipes into one of the mines for water for their illegal grow. This was back in the 70's and some Vietnam vets were growing marijuana and they had the knowledge to build these traps. It's scary stuff.
I'm new to your channel. Appreciate what you did for any animal by springing that trap. 👌 I live in Murfreesboro Tennessee and if you pay attention you can often see camps like that around town. Especially in wooded areas lime around a couple of our Wal-Marts.
Cartels are branching out in the US, I can't go camping in southern Arizona without them passing through. Be vigilant.
That can't be true. Not with Corn Pop in office.
If it had been me out there, I would have trashed those traps to make them unusable.
Negatory. Those traps are expensive. Don't break other people's stuff, even if they are a good for nothing potgrower.
See those old rock walls. Pretty cool
My LE experience taught me to always put a hand down in the deer beds to see if they’re warm if you jumped them… takes the pressure off if they’re hot Chig…
Thank you Sir for disabling that damned trap.
Oooorah sir! Stay safe and keep on trucking 😏👍
hope you carry somthing with you while out exploring
I'm more upset that the 'bad hombres' left that mess behind.
Good deed done for the day, thanks for caring for the creatures
I'd be scared of stepping on a needle .
Thanks Chigg
Thanks for sharing.
Always gotta watch for needles strewn about those camps, not fun to step on one and have it impale your boot.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Wow 😮
Last 10 years I have detected within 150 feet of dead bodies. Didn't look in a collapsed shed and a tent which seemed abandoned. Both had bodies in them. Drugs and alcohol the cause of death.
It seems people can afford to abandon good items, clothes, cooking gear, tools. Even after a few years the stuff is still there. Many around town.
I was hiking recently along some rail road tracks not too deep in the woods just off a well used hiking trail came up on a wheel chair parked right against the tracks walked up to it and saw a homeless man sound asleep in this tent, 'door" wide open right next to track. he had it fixed up with make shift pantry and closet...super creepy I ran in the other direction.
That's weird but I understand.
🐔
Love ya chiggers always been funnto.watchnya over the years..can't belive how fast time.flies..i.cantnwsit tomget.out a.ndndig with my new fiance....I've shown her your vids ..she love outdoors but hates.my dirty relics..but she respects my interests..mynbullets and locks are still.on display
Thanks Chigg and very nice move on tripping that live catch trap. Very unresponsible for an individual to leave it set without monitoring it. Kudos to you for always keeping an eye out for them (live and leg hold)
Keep up the great work 👍 👏 💪 👌 #ChiggsArmy#AQUACHIGGERADVENTURES
Thanks 👍
hell Chigg, we all leave a lot of crap when we die. I've been getting rid of stuff every year... I don't want to leave a mess when I go. I'm like you, I dump mosquito water, try to respect whatever I find, and keep movin on...
Beard looks great Beau…..!!
Poor guy ran off and left his crocs behind !
What a nasty mess. Glad you popped the traps. Sure a lot of stuff out there.
Greetings from SanDiego...hope you're getting close to coming out west.
This is why you stay strapped
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
I’m thinking that you seem to know a lot about the MJ business. LMAO
DONT TAKE THE RISK GO WHITH AT LEAST SOMEONE ELSE, LOOK AFTER YOURSELF.
That looks pretty darn fresh to me
I thought that was a trail cam in the tree when I saw it at the 7:36 mark and then realized it was just art when you showed it later. Most of the items (tools) are probably stolen you can see the red milwaukee boxes from Home Depot probably.
I come across camps a lot. mostly around urban areas never gave me trouble just a Hasel going around.
If that's a vet than that's really sad 😔
I think it was, and I agree.
Looks like a post apocalyptic camp. Creepy
Sad I see them here too, on a public bike trail I know of a encampment and I try to tell them get rid of your trash, that's what people hate most of all. They never listen sooner or later mother nature, the weather wins over. but the set trap worries me someone might be lingering around there.
Wow slobs leaving trash. Plus good items
Whoa Chigg, from disgusting grower to veteran, I can’t see trespassing, though I have been homeless and can remember that not seeming like a priority at that time. I do know what this is, I’ve seen operations of all sizes, nope that’s some one who is sick from what’s become of the country he bleed for, checking out. That I get.
Probably farmers seasonal helping hand Lol.
MAN, your brave to go thru that camp like you did. People living like that could be dangerous. Like the way you were tracking their movement signs. They might of built up those walls to hide their fire light from being seen. This is exactly why I am too scared to go hiking through the woods alone anymore...you never know is hiding out in them anymore. You take care. May God watch over you and keep you safe and well.✝️😌🙏
The walls were built by farmers marking their lands. I think they say from the 1800’s.
