They have a 12 connected culvert complex design for 1.4 million so anyone could be their own overseer! Just replace some of the barrack designs with hydroponic food growing systems and have solar/wind power generators on the surface And then have a well dug underground and have a pump room add on to pump fresh water from under ground so you can last indefinitely with water, food, and power, underground! Then you just need to have sufficient defence like the settlement simulations to defend against raiders!

All of which give out the location to the bunker.

That alone speaks volumes to the low level of your competitors character. 😣 I would image that the owner of company S’s shelter is beefed up beyond what he offers to his clients.

[@A_Patriots_AR15]

My hats off to you brother especially for going around the country fixing the "competitors" shelters for people that have been screwed over by competitor "S". Keep doing what you're doing brother, preach the truth because the truth shall prevail and Lord knows if I had the money you'd be the first one I come to for a real bunker. FYI if it were me I would use the same material for the blast doors and escape tunnel hatch in substitute for the galvanized steel on the vent pipes. If the Lord ever blesses me with the money to buy my own bunker that will be the only change i would want you to make to it. I don't want anyone to be able to torch or shoot through the metal of my vent pipes as I wouldn't want them to shoot through or cut through my doors and escape hatch. That's just all about privacy and concealment. Also it would be cool to think of ways to hide the vent pipes through "bird feeders" or fake dead tree stumps or something to conceal them. Think outside the box. Otherwise good work and keep it up brother.

[@yoloswagilicious2119]

a 4 inch pipe has a cross section of 12.5 square inches, 6 inch pipe has 28.2 square inches, so youre bringing well over 50% more air volume (as you said) than them

[@andrzej2501]

I had Civil Defense classes in high school. The BASIC designs of shelters had this 90-deg turn and decontamination shower at the entrance! This is a MUST! And does not add very much to the overall cost...

I was a sheet metal worker (80% of work was HVAC). I welded galvanized steel every day - and yes, oftentimes I had no choice but to breathe in the fume plume of that white zinc galvy that was burning away. Galvanized poisoning is cured with... milk. If you are in the white plume of vaporized galvanization (zinc), you will, after 5 minutes or so, feel like you have the flu. After drinking a few cups of milk, the symptoms go away. After a dozen years of welding galvy, I have not died... maybe down the road, but even IF the galvanization of Atlas Shelters does get hot or burns away in a nuclear firezone, it will not be enough "fume plume" to cause any problems whatsoever... and if you are THAT close to a nuclear fireball where the galvanized steel burns away, you're too close to ground zero in the first place. Don't worry abut the pipes being galvanized. It isn't going to be a problem... ever.

[@stevebishop3796]

Ron, Those plastic vent pipes will get bumped by cows/animals and if they dont break off completely they will crack at the base coupler...This will then allow rainfall to seep in and start flooding the shelter.

Near identical (albeit newer) design to the water-tight hatches used on both the USS Saratoga (CV-60) and the USS Independence (CV-62)! And we knew we could trust our lives with those hatches!

You guys build them their at atlas like I would if I built one for myself. I have done body work and paint for 25 plus years now and base/clear car paint done properly lasts along time. Sandblasting is a critical step. and galvanizeing is even better I believe. The only thing I could think of on the hatch door if you don't galvanize them you could cerakote them. It's a bake on gun type paint. It's has excellent properties.

You mention Carboline paint in either this video or another. I'm an industrial painter, at a refinery in Ferndale, Washington. We're abrasive blasting and painting a Gasoline storage tank. We're going to use Carboline to coat the interior. Found it pretty awesome you guys use the same stuff! Carboline is just a manufacturer, but the coatings they make are tough as nails. Try looking into a coating called "PolyEurea." We use it as a water barrier at the base of storage tanks to prevent water from getting between the steel and concrete, where it would rot the floor from below. Love your videos

[@randykopis8070]

P.s. The purpose of a blast, beyond removing impurities, such as milscale, is to put a profile on the surface. Think of Velcro. It doesnt stick to glass, but if you stick the barbed side against the abraided, rough side, it sticks. Blasting creates dimples, ridges, valleys, scrapes, etc. In the surface that give the paint something to hold onto. Without blasting the surface, it's like putting glue on glass. It's easy to pull off. Pour glue onto a cinder block, and you're gonna have to put in a lot more energy to take it off.

If a person is really concerned about water use - then paper plates will cut way down on water use.

The only thing Competitor X genuinely does better than Atlas- and by "only" I _literally_ mean ONLY- is the floor plans for the modular square shelters. Atlas's modular square shelters are small cabins, whereas Competitor X has shelters of various sizes ranging from small economy shelters, to the mid-size Silver Leaf series, to luxury shelters with names like "The Presidential" and "The Aristocrat". Competitor X would go out of business if Atlas began producing the larger luxury shelters.

Don't know how much the bigger size matters. However going form 4" to 6" increases the volume by 100% not 50%.

[@buggsy5]

Correct, for the cross sectional area - flow resistance may reduce even more. The formula is pi x the square of the radius. Since pi is constant for both diameters we can ignore it to find the % increase in cross sectional area. 2 x 2 = 4 and 3 x 3 = 9, 9/4 -= 2.25 so there is more than double the cross sectional flow area. The easy way to estimate is that when you double the diameter, you quadruple the cross sectional area.

7:30 your manifold isn't just 50% more airflow, the surface area (cross section) of a 6" tube has 2.25x more cross sectional area than a 4" tube, so your system is theoretically capable of 125% more airflow. There are of course other factors needed to compare these systems in terms of capacity, but don't sell yourself short brother, your air system is heaps better than theirs!

[@savoy6730]

Couple questions. I love your design and passion! Why not make the water, grey and black tanks half moon to fit under the floor and provide more storage?

Wish I had the money to actually buy one of these. Definitely go atlas all the way. I'd like to know as far as the air system and other mechanicals, are there spare parts supplied or an option of buying? In the chance anything needs to be repaired.

[@JuniorJoeandCharlie]

Ron, thank you for cutting through the BS. These videos have been informative. I'm am slowly planning on doing my own underground shelter andthe poor craftsmanship of the rising s bumkers indicate someone who doesn't really know what they're doing or doesn't have the well-being of their customers in mind.

[@blockhabildo2007]

Since I saw you and your company on "Dooms Day Prepper's" ive wanted a bunker made by you guys on my property , you speak the truth and the other side (R.S) is a joke, they couldn't gift me one because it is false sense of security, imagine SHTF and your stuck in one of those POS wanna be bunkers vs ATLAS riding it out smooth, keep up the great work, I will always recommend your company. If not ATLAS then I would just try and build one myself before I used a company i cant trust and put my family in danger. Dont let these scumbags slander you.

[@1ModernPioneer]

I’ll take apples over oranges all day. I appreciate what you do sir and my family and I can’t wait to get our bunker!

[@WWLinkMasterX]

>guy mentions airborne plague >I look at the date this video came out well dang.

[@alanrush1870]

Thank you for full disclosure!!

[@paulwhitehead3002]

I also see you do domes ?

[@justjakewolverine4619]

Thanks, so many, first of all for delivering a product worthy of the title of "SHELTER". If and when the time ever came that my wife and I could ever afford one of the myriad of assortments you provide, there won't be any shopping or price comparisons, there can only be ATLAS ! God bless and keep you and yours and know that even in the poorest of social levels, you are revered and loved. Carry on soldier.

[@TinyGiraffes]

wait what stops them from blocking the vent?

[@sca4380]

Nothing. Best to hide your pipe behind a bush or with fake rocks. However Atlas's pipe looks much easier to hide considering its not white pipe not to mention sturdier.

[@dudleydooright6181]

I so enjoy your videos, that i hit the like button before I watch them.

[@phi-ws8mz]

Here’s an idea...you should do a bunker raffle...like 100 bucks a ticket and sell the amount of tickets it cost to build and install. It would give us people that don’t have the money to purchase one a chance at winning one. Just a thought.

[@Al13n1nV8D3R]

Sounds like a good idea but people who cant afford it in the first place don't have enough money to buy 1,000s of tickets to make it even remotely possible to win. People who probably could afford to buy a bunker outright can buy 5,000 tickets and therefore will have a higher chance of winning. Unless you put a limit to how many tickets one person is allowed to buy. Rich people will always be ahead of us poor folk.

[@poppa4178]

19:30 that's the guy from the doomsday bunker tv series, so Competitor x Bunker is *Rising S Bunker.*

[@Roses78]

I can’t believe people buy rising s bunkers after seeing your product. I have a family member in Texas and he told me he heard a bunker blew up down there I’d bet my left you know what it was a rising s one for sure. You make good product and area true professional keep up the good work.

[@KonorDraven]

You sir are a blessing to our country. Your work ethics show what we as americans should strife for in whatever profession we choose to go into. Thank you for your videos, thank you for promoting good ethics, great craftsmanship, hard work (which you enjoy doing from the looks of it.) I promise you as soon as I save enough to buy one of your products I will.

[@ThatGuy-wm5ks]

If the other company's bunkers are cheaper, then It makes sense. You get what you pay for.

[@jukemjake4185]

Competitor X is like the iphones of bunkers (same stuff, no features) and you are like the Samsung of phones (improved considerably), which is probably why they continue to buy...Good comparison and this is a great reason to purchase your product over another! Love all the Engineering specifications behind the differences and why it is done. I hope the best for you and the company!

[@GoodGollyMissMolly763]

idk how I stumbled onto your channel but I love watching you roast your competitors lol

[@AtlasSurvivalShelters]

Thanks.

[@inspirationsbyjenna218]

i love your bunkers!💖🥰 my concerns are the entrance and the air pipe/systems.. would you be able build the entrance and the air pipe covered it with dirt, like make it part of a "grass, moss, tree, etc...camouflaged it! as much as possible, "not expose" the entry way, once you're inside unlike on the other video when all you have is a tarp, old wooden patio table as coverage. next, the air filters, if the SHTF lasts pass the 18 months date of your filters...HOPEFULLY NOT🙏...what would happen then if there is no way for you guys to come and replace it for your customers. can you stock up on them and teach your customers DIY INSTALLATIONS?

[@buggsy5]

Yes, the entry can be disguised. Somewhere he shows an example of a disguised entrance. The air ducting could also be disguised in many cases. Changing carbon filters is a trivial task.

[@2009mechanic]

Is it an option to install a double level bunker ,I.E. 2 stories?? Perhaps design them in such a way that they can be stacked and welded together on site? This way you can put 2,200 square feet of shelter into 1,100 square feet.

[@alanrush1870]

A bunker is on my bucket list.

[@dereklaw5612]

Question HOW WOULD YOU RE BUILD PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S OLD BUNKER IM JUST CURIOUS

[@oklahomahomesteading.7813]

He was talking about the 90 turn entryway.Not ,him building Kennedy bbunker.

[@oklahomahomesteading.7813]

You are either "HIM" or related.

[@dm8867]

@@oklahomahomesteading.7813 His question is, how would you build it now compared to then .

[@Kevin-77]

You really going at these guys, dam.

[@7.62eclipse8]

Needs to be done

[@ForeLab]

They charge six figures for garbage work.

[@kevoprezzo]

They are ripping people off

[@j.l.dawson1290]

Yep! They deserve the heat. Rising S ratted out one of their customers! Check out Atlas' play list.

[@timothyfischer5160]

I believe a 6in duct has the ability to flow twice the CFM of a 5 inch duct so a 4in vs. 6in would be more than double the capability, not 50% more.

[@buggsy5]

A 6" duct will flow a bit less than 50% more than a 5" duct. A 6" duct will flow a bit over double that of a 4" duct - at the same pressure.

[@Dmhlcmb]

Awesome shelters from Atlas. So cool too.

[@smannon]

Need to hit the lottery so I can buy myself a bunker

[@TUKByV]

I would. The day I won, Atlas is one of the first phone calls I'd make. I'm less concerned about fallout than storms, and since I'd move to a more rural area, wildfires. I bet these bunkers are great for both.

[@deanwilliams7473]

Use a glow in dark paint in your shelter, that give you time to get your power on

[@TUKByV]

I would use battery-powered motion-sensor lights. They're not expensive.

[@twigglykevin]

i like how your floor joists save storage space in exchange for strength 18:06

[@MonsterExcurision]

So true I’ve been a fabricator for 27 years and just watching your video everything you say is true honestly I wouldn’t go any other route

[@Vod_MacDuff]

The only reason people buy the other guys, is because they were featured on a tv series.

[@Captain_Char]

I've read the CD fallout shelter book, as well as the nuclear survival book, the ATLAS looks like it passes on all the aspects for survival, not just physically but mentally as well. lets face it, when it comes to a possible nuclear scenario, you really can't afford to cut corners after all its your life.

[@Captain_Char]

Personally if I was to get an ATLAS, id want the bunker itself incased in concrete too, if I was buying a bunker, Id want it to be overkill for a worst possible scenario situation.
