Finally a business that cares about the average people and not just money hungry. These shelters are very well thought out! Saving for one!

[@davebrunero5529]

Just finished watching. Everything said is valid. Good job. 👍 The turn in the entrance is critical (also having a decontamination area in the entrance is also critical, though I know some folks designs do not include that). The depth of the shelter is another topic... This really depends on how much fallout you could expect in your location. If you are directly down wind of a major target, +5 feet of soil might be a better starting point. So, could you go into more detail on the dome shelters? And some of the other designs? A 5-10 minute video on each design and where each is the best option???

[@strandednseattle]

I've talked to Atlas over the phone and his number one concern was the safety of my family, not money. He is a good man for that alone. Hopefully one day we will do business. We talked about a tornado shelter but I couldn't afford it at the time. Fast forward two years, a tornado hit my street and damaged several houses and yards on April 18, 2019. Wish I would have had a shelter. Luckily no one was hurt.

[@gstylez0107]

This guy seems like the real deal.. He's got the right ideas, his systems are well thought out and of good quality.. I will consider purchasing a shelter from him someday..

[@markinl.a.4954]

I'm so glad I found you guys! When I flee California I want an Atlas shelter on my property!

[@hopefulwarrior2403]

I do believe I’ll be getting my bunker from Atlas!

[@paulmacfarlane207]

The only weakness is the air system its good but easily defeated.

[@LordFalconsword]

@@paulmacfarlane207 Realistically, any shelter like this, the weakness is air and power.

Not that I can afford one, however, as a former marketing professional, I greatly appreciate the fact that you mention the pros and cons of your products.

[@missouribattleflag328]

I do believe you're making a quality product great video

[@jonwebsterabbott]

Thank you for addressing the ambient temperature issue. Using the earth as a thermal flywheel for your shelters is brilliant. How do you add heat in areas that are too cold (ambient temp < 56 F)?

[@greensteelusallc7862]

Manual crank everything, radios, tvs cell phone charges, portable solar panel, indoor gardens fresh food plus all the storage. Im truly looking to get one real soon. Ww3 will be here i want to survive whatever we can.

This was a VERY informative video and probably one of your most important so thanks for making it.

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

As a retired US gov journeyman certified welder/fabricator, I know quality when I see it and really like the fab work on the hinge system. As well as the overall attention to quality and integrity of this company 👍🏻. Atlas is galaxies apart from it's competitor, Rising s (as in Satan), and would have confidence buying from them

[@jnelchef]

As always, Ron is on the money. Well done!

[@alvinwine5665]

Your the best I cannot afford a shelter but you are doing it right

[@machinegun3133]

Great video. I plan on buying one in the near future. I have a question in regards to the air pipes. Being that I plan on having a bunker in tick country, would the ticks or any other insects be able to crawl through the air pipes and down into the shelter ?

[@jimstandefer1799]

I will definitely be calling you first I got to buy the house and the land that'll be next year . Maybe it will be the first project for you in Missouri. So I will continue to watch your videos till I get an idea what I want for sure. Thank you.

Good information. I was looking at the other guys, glad I found you...

[@linksbro1]

What am I doing? I can't afford a bunker. *Watches anyways* I suppose if I'm ever successful enough and want a bunker, I guess I know who I'll buy it from Also, "My airpipe is 6 inches in diameter. And it's made of steel."

[@brainlopez4464]

6” steel - PATRICK WRITE THAT DOWN

[@jonsmitt9769]

Inflation could make these shelters that cost $100 000 today, be the same as a car next year. If you get a raise to match inflation you can pay it off in months. Or if there’s a financial collapse, you don’t pay more than the loan deposit.

[@dillydoopsta6090]

I'd live in an Atlas shelter full time.

[@JTBCOOL1]

If I ever had the money I would buy the big boy culvert shelter. I was thinking maybe I should make a fallout shelter from scratch myself but Ron has put many years into formulating his designs and knows what he is doing. He does a great job and is an honest individual. It it werent for those two I would feel way more tempted to build a shelter from scratch on my own.

[@dellzbarkery2362]

I really live your videos you speak truth and If I was to get a bunker as I do want one I will most definitely be with your company for sure I'm so glad I found your Channel thanks in advance for what you do

Great stuff Ron thank you for the video. :)

[@sales3975]

Great video and videos you make. I now need to find some money and land to get a bunker!!

[@jonwebsterabbott]

Do you use explosion proof seals on your electrical conduits? I would assume the shelter counts as an enclosed space that requires it.

[@marcusdelanoeast]

Best Atlas fallout shelter

[@Cetok01]

Love your videos. But a thought just occurred to me: you might want to provide an option to pump out your entryway, in case someone does manage to breach the outer hatch, or something BIG shears it and rain, fuel, et.c begins flowing down the entryway.

[@danielj574]

I really like watching your videos, but could you explain how the air intake design prevents someone from simply blocking off the intake air vent entirely?

[@shawneehalleroutdoors2932]

can you connect a covert shelter to more than one covert shelter like mud room to mud room ?

[@dmcgill8978]

If I ever have the spare money to get one I'll let you know. Cannot think of any better ways to improve the bunkers you're making. The only thing I would do is make it bigger and longer for defense in depth if needed.

You are a little quirky, but I can tell but you're an honest person. Can't believe you had to deal with the things but you have in the past few years keep up the great work on your videos. Wish I had the resources and the property to do something with you.

[@terrylynne8208]

Great product, BUT a correction to your statement on your 3/8" armor plated /late doors.Yes they can be shot through,secret that is figuring out a way to be hidden(same with your above ground pipes),other wise cutting torches will sever them, and they can always be sealed shut.

[@agentchicken3577]

I would hide the pipes by putting old tree stumps over them. Of course make sure they are hollow. another thing to do would either be heavy vegetation or make it look like something else. Like make it look like an old gas meter or electrical box that went to an old house.

[@bigbrycm6]

Agent Chicken what are the odds people will tamper with it though

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Good shelter designs. May I suggest too whom ever buys one, or preps, is too: actually do a drill scenario so you actually experience the bug in situation; Where your in your shelter or bug-in area, depending on everything in your shelter. Plan it so you can use vacation time, so you have a job to come back too, along with school time as well, and notify someone trusted, information in case of an emergency. Plan too completely depend on your preparations. It's not as easy as you think. You have too stay inside for 3-6 days, 14days to 30days , this will show you where your weak links are. And it will allow for stock rotations, through replacement. Be safe ,be prepared, God bless amen.

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Here's the scenario perimeters: all utilities, are no longer working, this includes internet service, and cellular phone. How ever some signal is coming through citizens band communication( separate power source). Martial law has been put in place, with use of lethal force. Stores are empty, due to last minute grabs and looters. And highly contagious virus, is spread all across the country. And renegade groups are taking over areas, causing military conflict on friendly soil. The supplies are limited to what you have. Bartering is out of the question, you are on your own. (Except in the event of an medical emergency 911 situation) this is only a test, of your planning skills. Be safe, be prepared, God bless amen.

[@PedramBastan]

This is a really well thought out scenario. Points for that.

[@capcloud652]

Question ,neutron radiation from what I know the culvert shelter might not protect you like it will from Gamma ?so what about pouring concrete around it ? Doable ? Concrete ,boron or water apparently are the key for neutron radiation shielding .your thoughts sir?

[@PeterKrabshuis]

Nice explanatory video. I know what bunker I'd buy if I could afford it (and if I would get approval from the budget committee).

[@boxwoodgreen]

Do you have a coatic that could be applied to the inside of the shelter walls that absorbs sound to deaden echo? The submariners call them "anechoic coatings" (but they put them on the outside).

[@boxwoodgreen]

That was supposed to say "do you have a coating". Sorry ...old guy.

[@HypocriticYT]

Do you use IR resistant paint on hatches? Military vehicles use this paint.

[@oldtimehomestead1554]

Is there any bunkers that have ramp instead of stairs? For elderly who have to use a Walker or wheelchair.

[@rogerbruce2896]

Can you put a geothermal generator under your bunker to supply power?

[@jackmack6217]

do you ship bunkers to norway?

[@curtwarkentin6167]

I was curious if you do anything like American Safe Room? They have a roof kit you can buy if you want a poured concrete bunker/safe room/ tornado shelter. You do the walls up to 14 ft apart with concrete then install steel girders to do the roof with access hatch and air vents etc. You then pour concrete on the girders for a poured concrete roof. I was curious on your thoughts on pros and cons of a system like that.

[@solomiosisante5696]

how long would you crank it? Planning to dig 2000 feet here in the Philippines.

[@jeffersonfan393]

How do you unlock/lock the surface hatch?

[@tonimontana3485]

what if you cover the pipe so no air is going inside ????? (how do you counter this)

[@luvmykids71]

What good are gas doors in a fire if your air intake is sucking in smoke? Will your air filtration system filter out the CO from the smoke?

[@RJM1011]

Every time you put in clean air the bad air is being pushed out. The door stops smoke or other from the outside from coming in.

[@Edgardocelectric007]

Hi Ron love your videos always informative and you can be very funny and down to earth, with that said I have a quick question and maybe you could answer this for me. My question is are your shelters offer protection against EMPs or have you ever had them tested for this. If so have you ever posted a video on this subject or maybe get one tested just to see if they offer some protection for your electronics such as your air systems, computers, electrical, batteries ect. I hope if not you could touch on this subject in the future thanks again and God bless

[@jeffersonfan393]

I think you should try to make the bunker emp-proof bunker. Nuclear blasts make emp’s and they fry electronics. It’s actually pretty easy to make it.

[@adrianholland6787]

You get what you pay for, go cheap and take your chances, spend the extra money and truly protect your family. Hopefully we can do business soon.

[@scottstlaey4722]

Wouldn't you have to hit the aquifer underground so it would be actually functioning, because who knows how long someone would have to stay down there. Would the depth block thermal detection? Cause if you can be found that defeats the purpose. Also, pipes on the surface doesn't seem right. Seems like they would melt not to mention, depending on where the blast was, wouldn't they just melt?

How this system prevents gasoline from being poured 17:05 and is it duplicated on 17:13

Can u guys review the " 10 cloverfield lane" movie the bunker in that movie seems very complicated with concrete walls i think theres 5 different room 1 main living room storage 2 bed rooms and a separate room with the air and generater its a very large bunker it seems very hard to make i would love to see a video on this

Do you have your own bunker and what does the inside look like.

[@michaelw.urbansr.8617]

Hey there Mr Atlas! I love these bunkers. But with my limited budget is there a bunker that will house up to 6 people for less then 50k>? You see i have 50k but i have to buy some land 1st? Is the 20x30 a fallout shelter and is it still 30k?

[@dan00017]

Hey Ron, this video is incredibly helpful, Brother... Question: What is considered a HIGH Water Table?

[@williamgrissom1995]

You had me sold on your bunkers a dozen videos ago. 😂 I want to live in one, and I'm not joking. But living on SSDI disability is not going to get me into my dream bunker home. 🙄 Now if you had a rent to own in a rent I could manage, you'd have my eager undevided attention for damn sure. I don't even need to ever own it outright and I'd be happy. It could revert right back to your estate after I die. Like a 99 year lease, but I think 50 years at best at my age. Lol 🤣 I know, I know. Call you back when I win the lottery and then you'd talk. Lol 😂🤣 But seriously, great looking bunkers and I'm a fan of your videos. 😎👍

[@RJM1011]

If you live in a flood area then you don't bury it !

[@greensteelusallc7862]

You want separation rooms. By keeping all your doors close no contamination where you are staying. You want a mud room to get decomatination area. Shower, washing sanitation stations. Also wgat i like is his set up. Exits hand turning cranks, underground exit systems. Loicks i feel more secure in his then most. I stay in ga red clay dirt what would be the best for a family of 4 adukts 2 dogs . Plus can a hide out shed possible on top of this to be a distraction to others.

Thank you so much for building these for America. God bless you I wish I could win one in a lottery 😊

[@bonnierussell7824]

You say you can bury these things up to 40 feet? I know you said typically it's 6 to 10. That seems doable, but is it possible to get down 30 plus feet? I don't even see how you could dig that deep. Hold on. I think I see how it would work. The hole just has to be big enough to get the shelter and digging equipment down in the hole itself with enough room for ramps and stuff. But gosh, that would be a lot of work. I guess that's why it's not common. Would being that deep in the ground offer any additional benefits? Cooler maybe? Cool as in colder, obviously it's cool as in awesome.

[@monsterbear8737]

I want to meet you! Hopefully becuase I will buy a bunker from you soon because I love apple lol and you know your shit. I love it I love it I love it. Cant say it enough buddy. Keep up with what your doing brother your doing just great my friend👍

[@michaelhardy5399]

Your air system can you put 80 lb of carbon

[@ivermectin1908]

I do have a question. Seems simple but rarely addressed. If a shelter is for fallout, you will probably be in it for at least 2 weeks for the fallout to all end. Where do you store garbage during the time you are in there? Seems like an overlooked aspect that is rarely discussed.

[@RJM1011]

You bag it and get rid of it later !
