Hi from Tokyo. That was nice of you to mention not everyone can physically do what you do and they can enjoy it with you. I love stealth camping videos but am a wheelchair user, so this is a great way to enjoy it.
Hello, Josh! 👋🇯🇵 That's reassuring to hear that you are able to enjoy it through video, despite the challenges you must face in a wheelchair. Before my grandmother passed, she told me to capture the adventures I was going on and share them with those who might not get the opportunity. My goal is to make it like you are right here with me exploring these cool places 🏕️ Thank you for watching and sharing your experience!
Guano heaven.
Cheers from Czech Republic, Josh 👍🏻
I'll take you camping wheelchair or not I put you right on top of me keep walking
Pound fest time
Dude no way, I pass that place all the time. I always wanted to see what it looked like inside, that's a shame it's been vandalized..
I looked like people destroyed it more than the hurricane
Sweet, glad you could appreciate this as a local! Love your name too 🚯💯
@@oliewray8357I bet it was an insurance scam from Robert O Marshal of Tom’s River, NJ.
@@chrisdraughn5941 It was the hurricane. LOL
@@chrisdraughn5941bro what 😂
It's a shame people feel a need to destroy abandoned property.
Much of it was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.
@@19irvingnot the point
Nature itself would destroy it faster than anyone else
@@littlerichieny No sale.
@@littlerichienyriggght… because nature smashed porcelain and glass… humans are a virus.
All the mold in that place would scare me, I would rather sleep in a tent on a balcony somewhere, what a shame a hurricane ruined it. You are brave.
Was thinking the same thing about mold.
Yeah I think I'm going to start carrying around a mask on these adventures, just in case! 😷
Mold is generally not a problem at all unless you ingest it, some people are more sensitive to the smell than others though, it will however destroy a house in no time
@@WesWhereverstaying just for a night, mold shouldn't be too much of a hazard, but bringing a respirator is a solid idea esp if you have any allergies, itll block the spores. prolonged exposure can mess you up bc mold gives off chemicals into the air that can make you sick, it could be a problem for a longer stay. but to keep that stuff out you need an elastomeric with organic vapor cartridges.
edit bc i remembered something else, if you decide to get more advanced into urbex/ abandoned buildings, debris particles including asbestos are a whole different good reason to wear a respirator
You are smart. Bird poop dust can give you lung disease.
Great job capturing the Hitchcock Birds mood and remaining so calm about it!
Hahaha thanks! Glad they didn't attack me... if they all banded together I would have been toast 💀
I just re-watched The Birds today (free on YT now). You're so right!
Found your channel a couple weeks ago. Your content and filmography is fantastic. I hope you get the respect you deserve on this platform. Can’t wait to see more!
That means a lot, thanks Adam. Glad you're enjoying, and hope you like what's to come! 😉
I Really Wanted to say I Enjoy watching your videos, so do my kiddos 😊
That's so great to hear, Ness! I do try to make the vids family-friendly so everyone is able to enjoy 😊 Thanks for watching!
I just watched the last island episode and woke up to another he keeping consistent!!!! Even with all the editing and constant driving he keep delivering the best 2024 content I’ve seen keep it up Wes!!!!
Thanks so much, Maybe!! It's a bit of work but totally worth it 😉
such a shame, i hope someone builds a new house or something there.
When I was a kid in the early and mid 1980’s me and my friends broke into many abandoned buildings, old hotels, barns, plane hanger, and an old saw mill.
The taxing authority has plagued this home with back property taxes. The back property taxes are over two and a half million dollars. No one wants it because of this fact. If it weren't for the back property taxes someone could have afforded to buy and fix it up.
Gotta Love Goverment Racketeering!!! 😬
@@fookingsog Blame the 1%'er that didn't pay his/her taxes in the first place.
Taxes are good.
@@gizzydillespie9695 Too funny..
Nice one again Wes! Absolute gorgeous spot. Such a pity it has been abandoned and will be destroyed soon. Keep the videos coming 😁
Right?? Was such a cool spot! I found out it was scheduled to be demolished the same day I left (Monday). So glad I was able to check it out, but sad to see it go! Thanks again for watching, glad you've been enjoying the adventures 😊
Wow lucky you!! 😁 Looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers brother!
That’s a birdhouse now. They’re very protective of it, shouting: “Out, out, out”. Sad it’s about to be ripped down, hope the baby birds will be safe.
From what I hear it's standard procedure in the demolition industry to do a check beforehand and relocate animals... let's hope they did their job!
More like, "Mine! mine! mine!"
I went here about 3 years ago and it was so awesome to finally go since I’ve grown up looking at it from a far my whole life. Sad I didn’t get to see it one last time before they demolished it but at least I saw it once. Great video!! Glad you gave it the respect it deserves before it was gone!
Yeah it was really a special place... sad to see it go, but glad I was able to go and document it one last time. Hopefully they can rebuild something new! Thanks for watching!!
What a beautiful house
Great camping spots and I really enjoy the personality and humor you put into it. Loved the bonus cooking demonstration as well! Subbed
Really appreciate that, so glad you are enjoying 😊 Thanks for watching and subbing!!
Discovered your channel this evening, it’s so intriguing love your content and you’re a real cool guy. How you do these things alone is also pretty courageous. Thank you for the videos. Best wishes Ben.
Wow man cool find. Islands are fascinating. Have you ever kayaked the Great Lakes? Never been there myself but I've seen islands on them from maps. Probably some interesting ones to explore. Happy trails man.
Thanks again for watching, David! I have swam in Lake Erie & Lake Michigan, but not kayaked (yet)! It will almost certainly be happening this trip... I bet we've even eyed up some of the same islands on the map 😉
Another interesting camping spot. The best yet. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for joining 😊 Glad you like the adventures!!
awesome video dude! We love spots like this
Good video. All those seagulls (rats of the sea) would drive me crazy.
I can't wait to watch this! 😀 I'm at work now 😕
Hope you enjoy it later!! 😉
This guy is an alternate dimension version of Foresty Forest.
Cannot tell you guys how much I love this dudes content 😂
Is there an Instagram we can follow?
he just needs more exposure, his videos are very well made.
Thanks Tommy, so glad you enjoy the content!! It's @WesWherever, but I haven't posted anything on IG just yet 😭
@@WesWherever Do you have Tiktok ?
@CurlyHeadedNess23 I do, but I haven't really done much with it yet (just posting intros from YT vids to promote a lil bit). It's @WesWherever - I plan to make some dedicated content for it at some point. Let me know if you have any ideas of what you'd want to see on there!
Hey Wes, just found you today and subscribed. You do such a nice job with the videos and so much work editing etc. you really owe it to yourself to spend the extra time putting it across all the platforms in my opinion it would be a game changer for you. Really well done. When you’re coming back thru MA on 90, if you want some cool suggestions for spots in western mass (Springfield or Berkshire areas let me know). Thanks again for the awesome content.
Well at least you had your pick of rooms that’s uncommon for the summer season! Hope u don’t catch the bird flu 😷 IDK if I could sleep there well I was going to say u probably didn’t sleep well there either ! Great video 👍😎🐆🐆
Right, got to pick the best (cleanest) room in the house 😁 Even then, nah I didn't sleep too well with how loud the birds were! Probably should have gone to sleep earlier, but eh it still worked out and was tons of fun! Thanks again for watching, glad you enjoyed!! 🏕️
I can’t see that place from my family’s shore house! So cool.
Hitch's THE BIRDS, on a whole other level -- seriously, though, I love this stealth camping video.👍👍👍👍
Glad you are enjoying :)
Interesting how there's so many straight grid locked lines in the swamps of this area.
Just started watching you, love your content. Keep exploring and camping. Love from Liverpool UK
Thanks Hayley, so glad you're enjoying! I will for sure keep it up 😉 Cheers from across the pond!!
Wow!! That place is wild! Thank you for walking safely! 🙏 That's so cool you found that place just in the nick of time!! 😀 That would have been hilarious if you woke up with a bunch of seagulls cuddled up to you!🤣 🤣 It was really cool that we got to share in your exploring the different rooms, imagining what it may have looked like. I also saw how you made that nice tribute to the house in the end! 🥰 This video was fantastic, probably one of your best videos to date! I'm torn between a few others of your other videos 😊
Right, was such a fun spot!! Literally just in time too, I heard it was demolished the same day I left. Definitely wouldn't have minded some seagull cuddles, they are one of my fav birds! So glad you thoroughly enjoyed this one, Suzanne 😊
Or waking up on Monday morning to that bulldozer crashing into the bedroom!
@@cmnyc4286 Hahaha🤣
From Southern NJ near Philly. Took a plane ride years ago on a date Flew around the casinos and noticed a house in the middle of the bay. I think that was it, unless there’s more of them? Loved getting a look inside. Thank you❤❤❤❤
Sounds like that might have been it!! I’m glad you appreciated it, thanks so much for watching 😊
7:30 Looks and sounds like a scene straight out of a zombie movie.
Absolutely loving your stuff dude, discovered you recently and been on a binge.
True, it was pretty sketchy lol. Didn't help hearing all the random shifting/banging noises from the birds. So many times I thought there was someone else there, but it just ended up being the birds 😂 Glad you're digging the videos, hope you enjoy what's to come!! 🏕️
Some one with a lot of money will end up getting that property and rebuild and the cycle will all start over again. But this time things might turn out for the better good luck all for the next adventure 😅
Nice clean room?? 😂Oh my goodness! Gotta give this man credit. Took us on an adventure.
Be safe thanks for the video
I’ll make sure to stay safe 👍 Thanks for watching!!
He know where to go when zombie apocalypse break out
Let’s get it Wes. Recently came across your videos…love them.
Thanks Shammy, so glad you enjoy them 😊
As a former urbanex person idk if you've mentioned it before but man you should really wear a n95 or n100 respirator when sleeping in places like these. The amount of asbestos is INSANE and I'd hate to see ya suffer from exposure years down the line!
glad you said something as soon as i seen he was going into a house especially with animals living in it, poop and mold on top of asbestos lol, i was about to comment the same thing
Very true! Thankfully this one was constructed in the 90s, so no asbestos. But definitely plenty of bird poop and mold, that's for sure!!
@@WesWherever that's why you should always take a mask with you especially when exploring such places, not trying to be a bigot lol, just wish the best for your safety don't want any nasty buggers in ya
@@WesWherever Ay all good man, absolutely love your content btw!
Outstanding Video Wes! Thank you 🙏 I really enjoyed it. I'm always happy to see you have a new Video. This one was over the Top cool Spot! Was worried you were gonna need Ghost 👻 Busters lol!
😂 I thought the same thing.
Thanks again Drew, glad you enjoyed!! I know it was really spooky, and all the constant shifting/banging noises that I just had to hope and assume were from the birds 😳
after the bridge video im glad i subscribed! this looks like its gonna be awesomeeeee
Thanks bro, I would say it was definitely awesome 👍👍
Not bringing a sleeping pas hoping to find a useable mattress? One word: brave!
Awesome spot
Love your paddling adventures
I’m in the DFW area and my spots are not very spectacular 😢
Thanks again for watching, glad you've been enjoying 😊 I want come to DFW at some point and see for myself! There's gotta be beautiful spots there. Only part of TX I've been through was Amarillo, and it was cool to experience!
This in a weird way reminds of Motel 6. “Hi Im Tom Bodett and we will leave a light on for you”😁
I think I would be spooked if there actually was a light left on when I got there!!
Having grown up not far from there, you do put cereal in the fridge. Same with bread. It's the only way to keep it from going soggy in a matter of days, if not hours after opening it. When you live that close to the water, humidity is a way of life.
Interesting, I learned something new!! I lived on the beach for years but we just used food clips 🤷♂️
I've heard of people in Florida putting underwear in the refrigerator to keep mold and mildew from forming.
@@mackfisher4487In FL we put peanut butter in the fridge and flour in the freezer.
@@mackfisher4487lived in south FL near the beach/coast my whole life, what planet are you on to believe that?
And red light is only functional for your eyes to go back to night vision the quickest
pretty extreme adventurising
Very cool campout! What an awesome video, your content just gets better and better. Top notch production! Thanks for sharing. 😁😁
Thanks so much Jacqueline, glad you've been enjoying! 😊
To have a house like that, it needs to be built like a bunker. Steel reinforced concrete outer walls. And heavy bullet proof windows. Otherwise this is what a hurricane is eventually going to do to the place.
You’re my new favorite TH-camr
Appreciate it bro, glad you are enjoying the adventures!!
what a pity that no one wanted to buy this house and renovate it
Here before 100k+ subscribers, you deserve much more!
Aw thanks 💙 Really trying my best
Props to you…. I get upset when my kids leave crumbs in my bed and I can’t sleep under those conditions…. Look at you go!
Hahaha yeah I guess I can put up with a lot! But you're right, crumbs just feel gross against the skin 👎👎
I have been watching all your adventures lately and am curious if you worry about getting in trouble with trespassing, I would hate to see that happen.
I can't help but think of what will happen to the baby sea gull if they tore it down immediately.
I don't wanna think about it 😭
Maybe they can't if that bird is a protected species
@@suzannelegeza1292 they are protected.
Probably fly somewhere else and live there? tf? 😂
@@60Bando wow. This joker doesn't know that baby gulls can't fly until they're about 40 days old. Tf? 🤣🤣🤣
Makes no sense for people to vandalize the whole place smh.
No way I'm sleeping there. 😮. But the location is beautiful
Thanks for watching 😊
Great Video. You my friend have b@@lls , I love camping but I would be scared af to do something like this lol.
Dude, how did you NOT slice your hand open on that rough live edge of the granite countertop!?!?!?
Spent summers just in Ocean Beach looking at that and driving my boat past it in the 60's and 70's. still see it often and live just north of it. Never seen the inside though , Thanks. When the wind is off the ocean it is fine but a west wind brings Green Head Flies that bite hard and Mosquitoes by the bushel.
So cool! Glad you were able to appreciate it as a local. I guess I came through at the right time then. I only saw maybe 2 mosquitoes the whole time and no horseflies, thankfully!
i'm amazed that they'd be allowed to knock it down with birds nesting in it at the time.
You are actually correct! The Migratory Bird Act is a federal law that prohibits disturbing nesting areas during mating season and there are eggs or fledglings. I hope somebody ensures the birds aren't displaced and they follow the law and wait until they all have fledged.
Apparently they are supposed to relocate any animals before demolition. I sure hope they followed the protocol!
I was worried about that
At8:50, bro….. you should have added to entire jar of Alfredo to that spaghetti !!! Man that pasta must have been so plain. Pro tip: when making pasta, it’s better to have extra sauce than not enough .
I only used half the box of fettuccini, so the sauce to pasta ratio was actually good!!
So is that a packraft then ,looks really stable for an inflatable.
A place like that should of been built out of bricks and it would still be me a home.
Thank you for giving this house a final last respect before it finally died.
As an Italian American I almost died when he broke the pasta. 😩
From one oldtimer urbexer.....nice vid and an interesting location. Too bad about its demise. So many of the abandoned locations I've photograph'd over the past two decades are now gone too. But at least I have a wealth of memories and photos to document a little bit of history. Cheers from Niagara, CA.
Interesting, you just showed up in my feed, interesting adventures. I've watched 2 videos so far and like what I see. I guess here is another channel I need to watch. Love things like this that I could never to do. Thanks for sharing.
I guess about 5 mil up front, and you might make it livable. Looks like a real cluster.
Yeah it's a huge endeavor, but hope they rebuild it!
you always arrive at sunset. not good when it gets dark to setup camp.
Hey Wes! Just wanted to give you a shout out. Enjoyed our chat before you set out on your adventure! 1K more subs than last Sunday! Killing it! Oh, btw, I found my Pilot License(s) in another wallet! Keep doing what you do man! ✌🏻
Hey Bill, good to hear from you!! Good you found the license, I am still working towards mine at the moment. Thanks for checking out the vid, hope you enjoy the future adventures as well! I will reach out if I ever find myself back in Barnegat Bay 😉
Really nice property, I'd love to own an island home, sad to see it wither away like this.
Keep up the amazing work Wes!
Im glad to see what you are doing most of people's dream. Another steve fan and you are my idol now. Would love to see you notice me like Steve did!😊
The guy just eating some chicken Alfredo on the counter of broken glass. Haha what an icon
😂😂 Trappin it lol
That was awesome. Now come back when the island is clear of any sign of the mansion. Camp again. So who owns the island any way?
Good idea, haha. Some LLC bought it, no idea what they have planned next for it though. Would be cool if they rebuild it and make it more hurricane-proof (if that's even possible)
Mosquito magnets are still advanced. 😂 they still sell them
Dude the place is infested with seagulls, safest place is in a tent outside, dont want to be immersed in that bird shit you can get a histoplasmosis, not good. Moldy AF
Those dump ducks are obnoxious lol
Done realy good going all the paddling out there back your poor arms be muscle man for sure 😂😂
Yeah I was definitely sore and needing my protein afterwards!!
You should camp at one of the islands by the Grand Haven drawbridge in Michigan. Growing up I've always seen them but never went there. Or you could go to Dune Harbor Park in Muskegon and spend the night on the man made island there. Please pin this comment. :)
Thanks for the tip, they look super cool! Will definitely have to check those out if I get up to that region!! Have you ever seen anyone kayak in Dune Harbor Park? Can't find any info on if it would be okay
@@WesWherever I've actually swam to the island. Also by one of the lakes there used to be an abandoned dredger. Me and some friends had climbed into the dredger and played some cards at a table someone had set up inside the dredger. Sadly the dredger is gone now.
👍👍👍
Awesome find!
so scary there
It's sad that baby seagull in theroom will be crushed when they demolish the place I hope he will be ok
Shhhh nooooo I don't wanna think about it 😭😭
11:42
Yea, you don't know what you're doing, the idea is to get there right at first light, that way you have the entire day to explore, without giving yourself away with a light, that way you can learn all about the layout before it gets dark, and you go to bed right when it gets dark, that way you'll have over 8 hours sleep.
@armybeef68 I learned this very same afternoon that it was going to be demolished the next morning. So I scrambled to pack up and then drove hours getting there as early as I could. If I could’ve gotten there earlier, of course I would have. Do you know the saying about assuming?
That house is gone now!
I’m surprised nobody torched this place.
Class video today. Wes is def getting bigger and bigger. Love the new creative videos.
Thanks Beckett, definitely trying to improve with each upload and having fun finding new spots along the road! Glad you've been enjoying the new adventures 🏕️
Must have a huge septic tank. Draining it every 3 months cost big $$$
True, I hadn't even thought of that. So much $ to make this mansion feasible, too bad it's no longer though
I hope they do not hurt all the baby birds and relocate them before tearing it down
that mansion can be rebuild? i wonder who build that ?
I wonder if this is more an adventure or a cooking channel??
Comes to Jersey, breaks the pasta....sei pazzo??.... Just Kidding!!! I totally appreciate being able to tag along on these adventures I would never be able to do and this one was great.
What a shame. It looked like an incredible place! Tastefully designed.
I love the content keep going man your bound to blow up.
Appreciate it Christian, I will keep em coming! 😉
great video and wow. that sad they are demolished it. worried about the baby sea gull. someone could fix it up maybe. keep the videos coming.. have a good day and week.
Thanks Heather, glad you enjoyed this one!! I don't wanna think about the baby seagull 😭 Hope you have a great day & weekend!
@@WesWherever your welcome! Have a good evening and weekend too
Would have been a good sleep if not for a million loud birds. Aint no way i would try to clean up that mess even if they gave it to me. Bird shit everywhere!!
Yeah the island virtually belongs to them at this point 😂😂
I like to speak aloud and thank a camping spot. After gratitude I'll compliment and wish it well. The spot seems to find a life after someone stays there for a night. It becomes a friend. It helped and accepted me and I try to keep it clean.
Very true, a good camping spot is like a familiar friend 💙
This sounds like a great start to a horror movie :)
I'm older with some mobility issues. Thank you for posts! Love to dream about what you are doing.
I am happy to capture these adventures to share them with those who may not be physically able. You are always welcome to come along!! Glad you are enjoying :)
Is some of the hammered out walls due to copper pipe theft?
Perhaps 🤔
You remind me of Linus Sebastian if he got outside.
😂😂
Wes! I remember when you were at around 400 subs. Congrats man.
Thanks, Liam!! Growth has really been strong lately, which feels so rewarding. Happy you and others really enjoy the adventures and are willing to watch! 🏕️
