Schizolobium parahyba, the Brazilian firetree, or Brazilian fern tree, is a tree species from tropical America, notable for its fast growth (up to 3 meters per year). According to Francis Hallé, this tree may even reach 30 meters high in only five years, which would make it one of the fastest growing trees ever (an average growth of 6 meters per year).
Thanks Brandon, Will and the rest of the guys, for sharing this abandoned vid with us. The wood/lumber on the interior walls seems very viable and ready to re-use for other structures. Better have a talk with that ghost town mayor, eh?
16:26 Schizolobium parahyba = the Brazilian firetree, or Brazilian fern tree. the text is Scientific Name of the tree. Anti-snake venom properties of Schizolobium parahyba leaves.
Rain water collection system black tank so the water doesn't moss up or grow mildew from the sunlight hence the black tank. Filtered from the top it's clean to drink
Belize, formerly known as British Honduras was and still is an important training ground for jungle warfare, especially for British paratroopers and marines. Most of these buildings look like standard British military complexes around the world from similar time periods. The building with the wooden ceiling was either an officers quarters or officers clubhouse. The Quonset hut was probably an NCOs office or something similar. Belize became independent in 1981, with most British forces leaving Belize in the 90s, a training group has remained, but are now based at Price Barracks. With the British pulling out the local government wouldn't have been able to support a place this big without major effort. The road in and out would have been in MUCH better condition during the 80s. The main problems with Belize are the drug cartels/gangs and the Guatamalans wanting to invade.
the sign you found at 16:25 that said "schizolobium pavahybum" is actually the Latin name for the Brazilian firetree (technically its spelled Schizolobium parahyba, but it's close enough that I would guess they meant the same thing. the first part above the "schizolobium pavahybum" that said "quamwood" is a nick name for the Brazilian firetree (possibly a common name in Belize for the Brazilian firetree). how this insight helps! keep up the great content!
Should visit Ceiba, PR the old Roosevelt Roads Naval Air Station. Totally abandoned over 20 years ago, definitely a time capsule. I used to live there in the late 90's
Very cool and also maybe Synchronicity at work or a message from a higher power! Absolutely seeing abandoned places, because they have a story tell and also give a great inspiration. Keep Orange Crushing It!
Of course it was all militant bro, it was probably a place for soldiers, generals, medics, military intelligence, clerks, gov't officials, etc. to run & hide from enemy strikes, seek shelter, to render aid, rest & heal if wounded / injured... all types of war-battle / life or death situations... that place used to be known as the "British Honduras" ...think about it... it's Central America..! lots of grimey, cut-throat, jungle wars n sh!t in Belize, i can only imagine...
Dude... your content never disappoints. I would love to see you, Jake and yappy reunite for a collab on a big trip like this. You 3 are too fun to watch. Thanks for the video. Been wanting to go to Belize for a long time and your videos lately are making my decision for me lol
Keep in touch with will and if he decides to buy it, maybe you could kick in 10%. Then when it turns into a city, you will have a place to stay whenever you go to Belize. When he figures out the value of the property or maybe part of it, let me know how much 10% is in US dollars. 🤔
This looks like an old logging town. The journals and the signs about the fast growing trees of Belize. Company maybe shut down and thus everyone abandoned the town?
Hey, Brandon. I like the idea of it being a paintball area. Not so sure about a Pizza Hut, lol. Would you sell 'ghost' pizzas? That 'tiki hut' would be great as a small bar or dining area. Sorry to see the end of this Belize series... for now, at least. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy and safe 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That box of Kellogg's had Yokai Watch on it which was released in Japan on July 11, 2013 and with the 2015 planner that you found I would say that that place hasn't been abandoned for 30 years but still cool stuff to be found.
The translation for Schizolobium parahybum is Brazilian fire tree or Brazilian fern tree the flowers /leaves contain a water soluble substance that acts as antidotes to the bites of Bottrops snakes(pit vipers)
Hi my idol ahm I have a favor for you because I need cellphone for my studies. My idol can you give me a cellphone your my fanss idol I will watch all your videos
The sign says brazilian firetree. Or brazilian fern tree. Thats all it means. This was probably a sign for where the trees were growing or where the logs/planks were stacked when they were done at the mill.
They were trying to plant and harvest a fast growing tree that is originally from Brazil. And make a wood business. Apparently the tree did not flourish in the area
looks like the sign might be some sort of tree like a brazillian fire tree or brazillian fern tree. Schizolobium comes from greek schizo meaning "divide" and lobium or lobion meaning "pod"
Getting ready to watch the vid, just wanted to pop on here and say congrats on becoming an official "future" Googan...it was pretty clear what Rob and LFG were hinting at during the podcast even though they didn't actually say it.
I will say its weird from an infrastructure point of view because they were able to get all the building materials and labor in for however many months/years it took to build the homes and other structures, but they couldn't find a food supply? Note: did some research and realized that in 1996 was the time of the central american crisis and communist revolutions and a lot of civil unrest and bad infrastructure was extremely prevalent in Central America and areas like Belize. Makes more sense now. They made the town and then the country basically collapsed and people left to get away from the poverty abandoning the newly built city. Also: Not german on that sign. It is the latin name for brazilian fern tree just written in a weird font.
Jiggin', we can all tell you love it in Belize. You need your keys to Belize hook you up with a juicy home or property and move there. Just have all your stuff delivered there. The challenge is, you have to travel to Belize by submarine. =)
I think what y'all found is an old sawmill. They cut wood to make things and possibly paper. They must've taken the saws with them. That's what I think anyway. Maybe it became cheaper to import it. Anyway, love the video. This is an awesome series.
Did you know that leaf-cutter ants actually farm fungus? They’ve been farming for longer than humans have!
That’s crazy
AC fam?
Wow!! that’s a cool fact!
Some one watches antscanada
They are also susceptible to the cordyceps fungus aka zombie ants

Thanks for the info my man! Peace...but I'm going to have to fact check you! Lol
It would make sense that they were trying to run a lumber mill on the property if they had such fast growing trees present.
Lol was going to comment this too. Google translate is great! Lol

Hope you come back to my country Belize 🇧🇿 for a part 2… I really love your content so much.
Should visit Ceiba, PR the old Roosevelt Roads Naval Air Station. Totally abandoned over 20 years ago, definitely a time capsule. I used to live there in the late 90's
I have some pictures from a couple years ago when I visited.
Very cool and also maybe Synchronicity at work or a message from a higher power! Absolutely seeing abandoned places, because they have a story tell and also give a great inspiration. Keep Orange Crushing It!
Love your content 🔥💯

love the series Brandon keep up the good work much love ❤
This is very different from what your used to but you did an amazing job describing this deserted place❤
Obviously some Belize bro's went urban exploring. Just Fritos and monster seems a weird combo lol
You are literally like the wizard of finding wierd stuff.
I spent 2 weeks in Belize with my National Guard Company in the late 90s. The Belize Army worked with us. We even trained their medical staff.

Hi my idol ahm I have a favor for you because I need cellphone for my studies. My idol can you give me a cellphone your my fanss idol I will watch all your videos
Go through more homes out there, loved the video!!!
Thank you so much for coming to my home country most popular TH-cam's won't even mention Belize and you do an ankle episode
The sign says brazilian firetree.
Or brazilian fern tree.
Thats all it means.
This was probably a sign for where the trees were growing or where the logs/planks were stacked when they were done at the mill.
Amazing place. Looks beautiful
If you didn’t notice, on the right of the human voodoo thing on the wall, it says “f***k me”
Have you ever had someone contact you about a place you’ve had in your videos talking about they used to live there or anything??
They were trying to plant and harvest a fast growing tree that is originally from Brazil. And make a wood business. Apparently the tree did not flourish in the area
You guys should’ve tried the translation on your phone to see what that really says and show the people with any little area
Is that not the place Henry Ford built to grow gum trees or something like that but it failed?
🍕 hut still my fav pizza takeaway... 😋 What a cool place as you say paint ball wars 😃
looks like the sign might be some sort of tree like a brazillian fire tree or brazillian fern tree. Schizolobium comes from greek schizo meaning "divide" and lobium or lobion meaning "pod"
I was thinking that the big home could have been the townhall/ Mayor home
well brandon it’s clear they do landscaping bro. someone keeps it up no way it would not be overgrown by now
Let's move to Belize and squat in one of the home's. Use the rain water caught to water a veggie/herb garden.
2:53 The ghost was like pizza in Want 💤 😂😂
I WAS LOOKING TO BUY PROPERTY IN BELIZE. THEN I REMEMBERED THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

I've been wanting to buy a shirt from your channel but there is no women's shirts is that something that you might do in the future?
Correction AIR Soft in full kit gear not boring paintball.

That big house was probably a city hall type of building.
MONEY and infrastructure
Make things happen
Without funding things
Collapse
The cans you called Jerry cans are for carrying water to fight small fires.
Love this series this video is by far my favorite very interesting
What's the rent there???
I'd live there for sure
Jiggin', we can all tell you love it in Belize. You need your keys to Belize hook you up with a juicy home or property and move there. Just have all your stuff delivered there. The challenge is, you have to travel to Belize by submarine. =)
Turn the property into a fpv freestyle drone park and Airbnb for people to stay in! Then if it’s big enough make a rc truck park too

10:52 I found the vehicle that leaving the tracks.
Jordans next toy, a paintball tank...
