Day Tripping Adventurer is a channel that wants to inspire people to get out and explore the world around them one day trip at a time.
More than a tour guide, the channel's intent is to help people discover local day trips, and absorb local culture and history in ways they may have never before considered.

worst case senario, you get arrested. lol
Are you doing a siren tour around dallas?
@SirenofTexas Went there for work and they put me up waaay outside city,so was unable to see any sirens. Hopefully I can get back to see some in the future.
Dalls TX Siren
Almost every fire house on long Island has a siren . Some depts don't use them anymore .people claimed noise pollution ,so some depts caved in .even that they moved in way after the sirens were installed .most sirens still sound off for lunch.
I do recall that all the fire houses had them and that, when I was growing up on the Island, they tested them or blared them out all the time. Since I've been back I've heard them very rarely.
Nice! That area is cool. Next time you're here, come to Islip in Suffolk county I'll show you around my area.
I will actually be spending a lot of time in Suffolk county soon enough.
Super sirex siren still work is on KZread
You might be able to catch Mineola VFD going for the daily blast. Every day at 6:00 PM (I don't know if it goes on Sundays.) it's a pretty famous siren. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIWups1ye72oqZs.htmlsi=hiKiP-ohqNO-uhvV
I'll have to check it out.
They got rid of the tree that was covering the sd 10 in pico
Wow. Actually glad to hear that. So long as they did not remove the siren as well.
The Federal Signal model five or seven has been produced for at least 30 years so I’m guessing that that model five or seven is 20 years old
Langer’s almost closed in the early 1990’s as the once fashionable area around 7th and Alvarado became more and more run-down, and drug and crime-ridden. Right about that time, the Red Line subway extended along Wishire Blvd from Downtown L.A. There was a stop just a block from Langer’s and the sudden influx of workers from Downtown to Langer’s (including me and a lot of people I worked with) led to a resurgence of profitability.
Thank you for keeping Langers open :P When I first moved to Los Angeles in the 90s the guy I worked for took me to all the old school joints, one of which was Langers. I've only gone there twice since, including the time in this video, but all three times were memorable.
Yay!
From what I've been told, the H.O.R. Si-rex(which can also be called just "Sirex") in Masapequa was a former single-headed SUPER-Sirex which could rotate on its own. When the rotator on it broke, they gave it a custom shroud and made it omnidirectional. There's another one that's painted red which was converted ALSO in Masapequa. Both are 7/10 port, which is pretty rare these days. If you want to listen to one there are videos of these two, or you could look at videos of the last single-headed Super Sirex which is in Hamilton, OH. However, that one hasn't been working well the last few months.
Federal signal is definitely still making sirens. The real difference between the model 5 and model 7 is hp of the motor. That’s really the only difference. The one that you thought was new could’ve been refurbished or repainted recently.
The siren in the beginning can be both a Model 5 or 7. The housing proportions can tell you the size of the rotor in the siren. For that one, it's the largest size, 18" diameter rotor. They offered 5 and 7.5 horsepower motors, so either guess could be right! Nice to see another siren walk!
7:03 I think the sirens in LA would have also been dual tone, whereas most that seem to be used on fire stations seem to be single tone.
1:16 It looks like it has the pipe for horns/diaphones next to it.
for the Sentry 3V8, the motor is inside the top part (which explains why its closed), the bottom part is open so the air can get into the rotor in the middle. and FS (Federal Signal) is still making sirens to this day, but not the older ones, they make very modern ones such as the 2001s, the 508 at the modulators. also, did you know i film french sirens ? thats right, im a true french siren enthusiast, i even know the model of most of them, so if anyones intrested in french air raid sirens, my channel is for you, i have not uploaded in two months because of two siren fails in a row (second one was because the test got cancelled by the olympics), so next month i should be uploading a new video (unless it fails again :/).
I’m happy for you
Ooh a brand new serie of siren walks ! Great ! You know what's funny ? Friday I did a little day trip to Germany and among all the thing I saw were a few air raid sirens scattered on rooftops, which made me think of your siren walks ! You can even see one of these sirens in this little video I made, right at the very beginning, after the train doors open kzread.info/dash/bejne/pXeOw8qehtyWnM4.html
It's an odd looking siren, if I think it is what I was looking at. Also, it amazes me that you can just take a day trip to Germany. I have several friends in Europe and for them, traveling between France, Germany, Poland, etc is like me traveling between New York and New Jersey.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer It's the big mushroom-looking thing on the roof of the building. And yes that's exactly how it's like, it took me a little under 3 hours to go from Brussels, Belgium, to Aachen, Germany. And I didn't even take the high speed train (because it's way too expensive for me), I took the regular express train to a city close to the border, then a regional train that went there via Maastricht in the Netherlands (so I technically went to 3 different countries that day, I just didn't stay in the Netherlands, I just took advantage of the long stopping time there to quickly take a few photos around the station then went straight back inside the train)
@@DayTrippingAdventurer that siren is a E57 from Elektror, a german siren.
Nice siren walk! This one was interesting
Guess the previous ones weren't so interesting huh? :P
@@DayTrippingAdventurer They were lol. I should say there was a lot of new ones instead,
Wow nice
I'm glad you are having an amazing time out in Long Island. The sirens there are really unique!
Just to help you out, the "rim" thing you're referring to is called a Shroud. That's what protects the siren from any damage from weather.
Oh my, new siren walks?!? How incredible! It makes me smile when people discover new things. PS: The 3V8 has its motor on top, which is that top hat looking thing.
A whole new world of sirens? Cool!
Yeah that cool siren
smby needa share this channel, you are so underrated love the vids
Thank you.
Im sorry to aay this Douglas, but it is sadly removed now :(
Wah? Waaaaaa! No respect for the past I tellz ya.
Come to Long Beach 👍🏻😁👍🏿🇨🇦🇵🇭🇺🇸
that first one has always weirded me out
Regarding the sirens in Cencal: Fresno has quite the system of old SD-10s, and the Air National Guard base at KFAT also has a system of Federal Signal DSAs and Modulators if you are willing to check that out. They also have an old GCS Model 2 that’s inactive. PS- Central California is a huge conglomerate of random sirens (some of which are actually pretty rare) that all the small towns have for some reason, lol
My hometown of Mendota has a Fedelcode I believe. It's still active I think. Back on the 8th of June I saw the SD-10 by Fresno Yosemite Airport, and the one on top of the Fresno Memorial Auditorium. Beautiful pieces of history, wish that they could be restored.
most SD-10's have the band, but the early models have optional screens instead of bands, which increased the sound output
it finally happened, after months you are back. and now we just have to wait for what you will see next.
Model 7’s range from 40’s to 80’s, the ones you showcased look like late 50’s to early 80’s models.
Awesome, I’m so glad that people still care about these old relics
So am I. There's a whole other system in Fresno, but they shut it off in 1977. In 1984 some teens decided to set it off as a prank.
I would be really really scared to get this close to a siren this big:D I managet to get around 2 meters from a DS977 siren, way smaller then american sirens, but i was still scared at it is active:D
Great trip, Doug! I like the one attached to the water tower. Gonna miss you here in CA, my friend. Come back anytime!
I can't wait for this trip
Did you manage to see the old Chrysler siren in Compton ca?
Alas I missed that one. Adding to long list of sirens I still need to visit. There are a lot of sirens in Los Angeles
@@DayTrippingAdventurerthat’s true hopefully you could see a scream master 6/8 port one
The early sd10’s had only chicken wire covering the stator rotor combo. Later sd10’s had sheet metal covers added around the stator to help deflect the sound to the upper and lower sheet metal projectors to supposedly help the sound carry further. I think it would sound better with just the chicken wire only but that’s just my opinion. Gonna miss your LA siren walks,sad that you’re moving. Best wishes!!!
@@DayTrippingAdventurer the federal SD 10 was actually optional with the deflection band and some of the federal SD 10 sirens were optional without it 14:02
@@DayTrippingAdventurer one of the federal SD tens were optional without the deflection band and some of the SD 10 sirens were optional with the deflection band 14:02
Good news: Back on June 8th we went to an old siren in Fresno. I was in California for my vacation/grandmother's funeral and got the one near Fresno Yosemite airport. Federal Signal SD-10A/B, system was shut down in 1977.
California has so many sirens, unfortunately most don't work today.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer There's an RSH-10 in Los Banos, CA. It's 60 something miles from my hometown and it still works. Though it only does noon blasts. They used to have 2 FS Model 2s but 1 was removed, and the other is inactive.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer one of the federal SD 10 sirens were optional with the deflection band, and some of the other SD 10 sirens were optional without it 14:02
Hey John been watching you for a while I love rewatching these siren walks can't wait for the next one if there is going to be a next one
Hi, I am a super super big fan of these walks. Its been 6 months and I am getting kinda worried!! I don't know if maybe you lost access to your KZread channel but your videos are really amazing!! Pleaseeeee post soooon
Hey. Thank you for the support! Rest assured I have not stopped going on the walks, just a big life change has taken place this year which has had a major affect on the time I can put into these videos. I'm hoping to have the next one soon.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer Yeah I remember last year or so I could do more if you know what I mean. This year it either seems stuff goes by SO fast or I am just to busy to do some certain things. But again, your videos are truly amazing! I am in the Illinois and don't have all these cool cold war sirens. I have always wanted to visit California.
Thank you for sharing this!
Nice job, Sir!
Rioters destroyed that beautiful store with complete disregard for our culture and every opportunity being offered them.
its been 5 months and you have not uploaded, almost half a year, so what happened ?
Hoped no one would noticed, but it's motivating to know that you do. Work and life has just been needing a lot of TLC recently. I did a walk recently that I still need to edit when I get my computer set again, so more videos will be coming shortly.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer thanks for the info, so atleast i know this channel did not become one of those abandoned ones.
@@DayTrippingAdventurerlooking forward to it
The first md was missing a horn piece
0:27 this music gives me oversimplified flashbacks
I love it! My Grandparents lived in La Cañada near Pasadena. Can you find out about the old redwood forest that used to exist in that area, please?
I'll work on researching that.
