Abandoned Man-made Creations!

I came across a website today that has a nice variety of abandoned man-made creations. From military bunkers to hotels, there's quite alot out there still to discover.

Now, I'm not sure how relevant this is to the survival forum so if it needs moved, please do so Mods

You may be able to utilize one of these in a SHTF scenario, or for all you adventurers you might find something to explore. Lots of pictures and a background story for each one by clicking "read more" below the pictures.

Artificial Owl

Here are a few I found interesting:

"devil's slide" bunker

Castle bravo, the biggest USA atomic bomb test on the Bikini atoll

a massive concrete lid to a 107 m diameter nuclear waste trash can on a beautiful island in the middle of the Pacific ocean

Mankind leaves litter all over the world.

We still don't learn.

Sweet stuff.

I'll definitely check that out when I get home (it's blocked at work for whatever reason).

Yea it's kind of an odd interest to have, but sometimes I wonder why people leave these types of things around. I mean, all those abandoned vehicles on that site could net a decent amount if taken to a scrap shop.

Awesome link. I'll see if there are any in my local area. Thanks for sharing.

I doubt there's a bunker near me. But that would make an awesome bug out rendezvous location.

That was my exact thought. A great place to set up plans for a well protected place to survive, grow food and have plenty of space to welcome strangers. However it would take some TLC but definitely doable for those motivated enough.

www.uer.ca... has probably the largest collection of photos I've seen so far and from around the world at that. Some of the most fascinating and creepy things tend to be the old medical buildings that have fallen by the wayside.
