Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet Pumicecrete is a mixture of pumice cement and water mixed and poured into a set of reusable forms walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof non toxic and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete can be built for a fraction of the cost and time and pumice is one of the few building materials that can go directly from the mine to the job site ready to use without any additional possessing and zero waste Take care Ray

I think they’re all pretty, but number two since my needs. I’m alone and senior so I have to have a porch lol and a large shower. That’s my opinion you asked for lol thank you for the tour. It was very enjoyable.

[@robinscarborough6969]

Fits me,too

[@sandy1148]

#20 wide is my favourite. The space is fantastic. Don’t want to feel like you are living in a dorm room. Important features storage space, washer and dryer, tall ceilings, and decorations. They need to get ride of the black and white circular tile decorations. #27 under 399 sq feet was absolutely beautifully decorated. The fireplace on the deck was a dream design. If you are looking for design ideas I would suggest Innerscene’s virtual sun or sky skylight for the bunkers. They have a virtual sun and sky that looks real and the sun can move across the sky mimicking a real sun to create a circadian rhythm.

[@OldJailer]

BOTH OF YOU… THANKS A MILLION!!!!! I’ve been dying to get to that lot to look at their homes. And you just gave a wonderful no nonsense tour! Thank you thank you thank you. I’ve been following tiny homes for about 24 years! Pricing skyrocketed wi the last 5yrs or so. We need to bring affordability back!! I will look at your videos and learn about what you do. Thank you both!

[@gustonzimasheen]

I love watching these house tours, to get ideas for what I would or wouldn't have when I design & build my own house.

[@timandnatd]

Have you ever been in a IKEA? Ever the fake windows in their setups? Big flat lights that evenly distribute the light, and maybe shear curtains covering them allowing light to pass, but to keep up the illusion that it’s a fake window? How cool would it be to do a tiny home design and incorporate fake windows to make it feel like less of a shelter? You could even take away some of that underfloor storage and relegate it to the back and have to floor go up where the bedroom and bathroom is to put the utilities. Maybe even think of 5th wheel RV designs where the ceiling is tall in the living room, then the floor goes “up” to allow for the goose neck. You may also be able to incorporate a loft like they do instead.

[@susieshobe8524]

Show those that have stand up lofts. Seniors 😊will steer clear of 😊low ceilings.

[@davesanders9203]

Been to this place! Realy NICE homes! Almost bought one a few years back. Make sure the state you want it delivered to is "legal". Buy one with NO PORCH. Add on what you want later!

[@STB-jh7od]

My thoughts exactly.

[@juderickman8275]

Mine too

[@fidel-3470]

I really enjoyed this - I also think it's great for a business owner to demonstrate how they're trying to innovate through inspiration. It's an example of how you're focused on improving. I get the most value out of videos like this and the philosophy videos of why you do one thing versus another. Cabin 5 (the last one, the least expensive one) was probably the most relevant to bunker design. I really appreciated how it had different clear "zones", and how there was a closet tucked away behind the kitchen. You really don't need a wide kitchen usually. I think you should also check out high-end RVs.

[@IceLynne]

He's not the business owner. Here's the company KZbin channel run by RRC sales manager Mike Timmons.

I don’t know my phone went crazy so it’s not dictating properly. I have to have a door in the shower. I want got a fight with the shower curtain and the shower and the shower curtain won…😵‍💫

[@Shawn47]

Is it possible to take one of these complete cabins, windows, decks, and all, and fully enclose it inside one of your shelters, with its interior, in turn painted a nice sky blue or with a woodland mural, possibly with some sort of LED lighting effect to simulate daylight? It would be amazing to have an underground bunker with the look and feel of an aboveground cabin in the woods!

[@mrt1957]

anything is possible with enough bread

[@brqxton8974]

not in any of his shelters, but it would be possible in a custom concrete bunker.

[@215RANDOM]

20:55 Cabin 12 for me.. That extra width is needed.. 782 sqft.. sweet spot

[@gailhitson7340]

Thank you for sharing these lovely homes with us! 😊

[@the-witness8811]

I like the idea of making a second floor so you can have a taller sitting area and at the same time, gain some space for children to play, or just to store more stuff. In exchange for digging the hole a little deeper, you gain almost double the floor space and you don't have to build more foundation. I'd love to see how much more it would cost just to add some height and another floor. Hope you're doing well btw!

[@dannymcdaniel1652]

They look very good to me ... but could you build a bunker under it and bring it all ground level

[@holycrap8367]

Hey Ron, can you film more bunker interior videos? These are the type of videos I need to watch before bed

[@susanpage8315]

My favorite is the log cabin with the exterior fireplace.

[@RV_Chef_Life]

@Atlas Survival Shelters, What I would like as a retired chef is an amazing kitchen and freezer off solar. Sometimes it’s nice not to have to eat crap out of a can or bag. You can do a pretty decent indoor garden in less than 20 Sq ft. with led lighting running off solar too. I would do hydroponics as I have been growing hydroponically for the last 20 years. Only issue I could see though would be the extra demand on water. We have off grid earthships here in New Mexico and they have a rain water collection system than can collect and store water for up to a year. Just because it’s a bunker doesn’t mean you will be using it during a nuclear winter. Passive water collection would be a bonus. I’m just dreaming though and probably could never afford one. Good stuff as always Ron!

[@jnorth3341]

That's a good idea, I probably won't ever get one either but thinking of designs is always entertaining. I don't want to even think what the shipping costs would be to get a bunker where I am (hint: Texas is a little too hot and small for me). One thing I've not seen anyone do, which confuses me, is bury some fuel, water, and waste tanks along side the bunker and plumb them in. Just for $ and storage issues, I'd leave the fuel and water tanks empty until things go worse then they are now, but that would give you quite a bit extra surge capacity if it came down to it. Also, thanks for mentioning the hydroponics, I'm checking out your videos on that next, been wanting to start some in my new place.

[@bennyfloyd2375]

You should look into aquaponics if you are already doing hydroponics. Done properly there isn't a 'fishy' smell and could provide extra protein in a survival situation. The fish are mainly to provide the needed nutrients for the plants and the plant scraps can feed the fish if you use tilapia.

[@ALink2Zelda]

yolo hope everyone is doing great

[@durangodave]

thank you so much for posting this, your awesome.

[@AtlasSurvivalShelters]

Our pleasure!

[@robinjones1955]

I love #22 - the pinkish one. I love the side entry with wrap-around porch because the lack of a front door gives you more room on porch for furniture, etc. I love the large porch because you could screen it in and put a door on the side... inside i love the kitchen in the front, the large livingroom area with high ceilings and the big bedroom with high ceilings too. Plus the price is good..

[@ThomasSchick]

…essentially they’re just single-wide and double-wide trailers reimagined. …I wonder if a lending institution would do a 15-30 year fixed mortgage on something like that and plus 5 acres

[@gawain8000]

[@JesAusCam18]

I really liked the one with the large porch and the bar at the kitchen window.

[@ShannyShan20]

My fave too!

[@Tall_Order]

The 74k one is perfect for me. But even a teardrop camper would suit me, as long as I got a place to sleep, cook, shower, eat, and have a computer, and it's tall enough for a 6ft man. Teardrops are usually too low, though.

[@FjHenderson]

Kinda pricy, they can keep them. I can get amish around me make them for a tiny fraction of that price.

[@FayreeenAarow]

Take it easy Gracie you’re killing us with the camera wave. Lol. Thank you.

[@ChristineCaligiure]

I absolutely love these little mini homes. They look so comforting and relaxing. I want to get one so bad

[@RaquelBlack-h9b]

The 2nd one is my favorite. THE Platnium!!

[@ShannyShan20]

Yep, #24! I love it! And #20 for a bigger one!

[@OldJailer]

I’ve always had the idea of putting a tiny “ugly” house, on top of my dream bunker. 👍🏼

[@Tall_Order]

Those breaker box cabinets are a great idea. I should measure my breaker box and do that in my house.

[@debbienelson8013]

I like the last one for the small house and price

[@tinjmail]

what I like most about tiny house is the porch and the loft. What I don't like about it is lack of storage/closets.

[@karlweir3198]

Love 12 our favorite, we are looking for one to live in. However we are in Nova Scotia Canada but enjoyed your show

[@leonardnelson7596]

I also like number 12, and 20 because they got over 399 square feet and they are very nice.

[@atlanticx100]

It would be great to put one of your bunkers underneath as a basement. Great for emergencies.

[@irishmike519]

Set one of these tiny homes over the top of one of your bunkers. As a a camouflage of the bunker.

[@JenWISE1972]

Im dying to see your Atlas bunker! Thank you for doing these videos ..Its giving lots of inspiration to people like me!

[@deathtoll7667]

They cost more than my 1200 sq ft 3 bedroom 1 bath attached garage house on a half acre

[@RJM1011]

Depends where you want to live ??

[@robinjones1955]

Yeah, I live in the Pittsburgh, PA suburbs.. houses around here start at $200,000 for 1,500+ sf on 0.25-0.33 Acres. I do love these 399sf park models for a retirement home or vacation home...

[@staindthepain2]

Where do you live?

[@juderickman8275]

Oh, I like the kitchen in the little blue one.

[@steffybael1245]

OK RON, i prefer the second to lat home . the 17x64 foot model. its the newton xl 952 sq ft one. i went to the website and looked at the printable floor plans as you toured them. im a 65 year old man married to 35 year old steffy (so ill be using the bedroom for more than "sleeping" (wink, wink). what i would do is put 2 bunkers side by side and and cut out the sections for the living room and dinning room. do it on the drawing board first so you know where to add reinforcing. make them in 2 pieces to set close to the hole, bolt them together and weld em up, then add the outside coating and move them to the hole. i purchased 2 53 foot refer trailers (already insulated (for $4,000 each delivered) . i added 15 inch tall trusses lengthwise down the floor.(a 5 gallon bucket will just fit) then cut the plywood into panels so i can lift a panel to access what ever bucket i desire. in one trailer i had a 15 inch wide (deep) shelving unit from side to side to store boxes of medical supplies, and same in the other trailer except to hold #10 cans.then 27 inch wide wooden shelving units down both sides on 1 of the trailers. just 2 trailers are 16x53 which is just 1 foot narrower and 13 foot shorter than that mobile home in your video. i hope to one day get a back hoe and did a deep enough hole to pour a slab, park the trailers on the slab (55 gallon barrels will fit nicely under a semi trailer) place a form against the trailers and pour a 2 foot thick concrete wall all around the trailers. but have at least 10 trailers wide. between every 2 trailers put columns made of concrete filled hollow blocks and eventually pour 2 foot of concrete over the top and then at least 4 foot of dirt on top of that and then plant an orchard in the dirt! just a dream for the future. currently the 2 trailers are parked in a concrete SILAGE PIT ON AN OLD FARM.

[@prchocolate80]

#20 is livable full time. Second log cabin for weekend get away.

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

I like these small homes, wish they were in Tennessee

[@grewill159]

I honestly love the idea of a mini home with a large loft area, with everything under it being a simple bathroom w/walk-in shower; a single wall space to fit W/D, and enough cabinets to work as a full closet; and a simple "bedroom w/walk-in closet" that I can turn into an office with a recording booth.

[@BluJns]

#4: move door to open in kitchen side. Leaving more wallspace in LR! 😊

[@harrymu148]

I had an idea for the bunkers: if you add a little hump to the top or the top of the side wall to the bunkers, you can fit a parabolic mirror and a high CRI lamp pointing at it to collimate the light. add to that a slowly pivoting mount, you can have artificial sunlight

[@camelliachristopher4131]

16:49 ❤❤yuppers 😊 A walk in closet was the best.

[@holynyork7124]

Number 11 the colors are grand, bring her to this poor ol lady, would really be thrilledf

[@Insideon]

I love #11, I like the porch on 6 and don't mind the fireplace. I love 12 for the space that it has but would need to paint the outside to match #11. my favorite would have to be #20

[@yavindesolate6444]

These kinda seem like on site build sheds with a whole lot of upsell in furnishing on the smaller side and better branded mobile homes on the top end.

[@tinaalonzo9637]

The 399 sq ft rule is to keep it classified as an rv. Any bigger, it's classified as permanent dwelling and there are more moving restrictions. 399 can be towed with a truck. Plus, the building codes and structural rules differ.

[@stevenkukene9970]

I like the loft space. The drawers built into the stairs is a nice touch. My Wife requires the walk in closet.

[@heathercorley4538]

I really liked the first house for the kitchen tucked into the end of the building. Very functional. 😊

[@leonardnelson7596]

I also like number 28 an I like that it's two bedrooms in it plus two bathrooms. I have watched some of your videos on the bunkers that you do an I really like that you make them feel like a home on the inside! Because if something bad was to happen and you had to be inside of the bunker for awhile you want it to feel like your home an not a sterile shelter. Keep up the great work that you do and I can't wait for your new videos to come out! Your fan Leonard from North Carolina!!!

[@amaclach]

Vaulted ceilings in the bunker could mean huge water tanks above the living area and they’d be gravity fed, meaning less dependency on electricity.

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

Well, I’m watching you from southern Alberta Canada and I love that log house One the most and the one was the fireplace on the deck. I like that one there was two of them I like the layout I know anyways❤

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

Yes, I sure did enjoy it but like that wonder why you making those but bombs shelters live in Canada you don’t need those peaceful people here

[@kindnuguz]

#20 is my fav I've been looking for homes like this and property but land is the hard part. Also debating if these could be placed on a 8ft foundation making a basement etc.. the smaller ones are ok but idk if I could live under 400sq ft

[@drendamills8960]

The two biggest ones you looked at were Single Wides, that RRC sales. In case you were curious!

[@LordZonaxe]

some nice homes there. Can you tell them to change the battery's in the smoke alarms (XP)

[@joebeach7759]

You talk about price, When I moved to Central Texas in 2004, I built a custom 3br/2ba house with an oversized garage w/small workshop on 1/4 acre with an 8' privacy fence for $83,800. Wasn't in the middle of nowhere, either. I was 5 minutes from work at Ft. Hood. Now that I just retired, I'm looking at something like this, and I'll probably put a bunker under it. Have to decide where.

[@camelliachristopher4131]

Yes 12 is definitely number one 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 23:22

[@MrsPinkyChiChi]

It’s # 17 for me and I’d add an addition in the master with a door where that window is for a closet/dressing room about the same size as the front porch. I see there’s already a pantry, so I’d find a stand up freezer that would fit beside a stackable washet/dryer in the hall. Definately no built in entertainment center. Maybe move the front door over if that would allow me an apartment sized L shaped couch without sacrificing the bar. 🤔 Maybe make it look like 3 French doors with 2 actually stationary.

[@Fearlessdove]

I loved all the woodwork in number 3! It would look great decorated in bears and moose decor!!! 🫎

[@Butterfield-fv1rq]

I need you to tour something like a 12×36 or 12×40 with gamblers roof, double lofts, (bedrooms) 1 bathroom and 1 downstairs bedroom.....lol. That is going to be a future purchase for us!

[@BluJns]

I specialize in space saving! Some of these could do better, but overall? Not bad! Kitchens greatly benefit from drawers for pan storage! Easy Access! The "black appliances" suck the light out of the rooms! JMHO: I prefer appliances to match cabinets so as not to cut up smapp areas.

G'Day Ron, great content mate and that one you said was pink @8 minutes is actually called Salmon. Lots of nice looking small homes and decent sized ceilings as well. Stay safe Ron I first thought you were looking for a small home to put over one of your bunkers lol. You have not done that yet.

[@pablo1775usmc]

lol only 100k. My house is in a beautiful neighborhood built in 2010. I have 3900 sqft 290k it sold for brand spanking new. Now just sold for 600k. Housing is such a huge scam.

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

It's an overinflated market, no doubt! Another major cost that is often overlooked is the value of the property the house is built on. When I was young, growing up during the 80s, it was not normal for property values to be equal or more than the value of the home built upon it. Nowadays everything has changed. That's also a large contributor to rise of housing prices.

[@Kevin_D1]

You, my friend, hit the nail on the head.

[@FatherDuck80]

And you never really own it unless you put it on tax free land. Good luck finding some.

[@ferretapocalypse]

You made that 600k through an F’d up economy so count your blessings. Guarantee it’s not worth anywhere near that

[@salzanosart]

#3 wider, love all the wood. I think it was $90,000. One bedroom, one loft.

[@sampickens1998]

$82,000, y'all are nuts!!!!

[@IceLynne]

Go out and buy an RV with that much going on for less. Go ahead! These are equivalent to park model RV's.

[@OldJailer]

We would agree! Yes they are overpriced but that is the world we live in currently. It’s the convenience of having your house dropped where you want it, and moving in within a few days. Praying the cost of these comes back down to an AFFORDABLE range wi the next 4 years.

[@lerlyn65h.90]

Yes I do enjoy the tour

[@WalterPidgeonsForge]

All of these need to be light enough to be trailered into position like any other mobile home.. the advantage a bunker might be able to exploit is that they have less concerns about weight once they are in place..

[@shanabutler7627]

I wish I could have seen more. I love the 1st 2. And the ones with the porch and fireplace. The log Cabin was cute on the inside side. I didn’t like the wood look and color in the outside. I love that they were 399 Sq Ft also. Wish I was in Texas.!

I’ve been searching high and low tiny houses. You won’t believe how cheap I’ve seen. Some are $26k and are nice like these and a lot of them have the double loft. I can’t believe the price difference. You had to go up to $30k for granite or quartz countertops.

[@FragoutDesign]

I can't afford a bunker bro. But keep up the hard work

Actually you can it's cheaper than a home and it's underground so it's likely the property taxes won't go up since there's technically no property to be seen on the surface.

[@LudiCrust.]

One of the big reasons these are so expensive is bc of the materials they’re using. Most companies don’t use the big thick sheet rock, metal roof, trex decking, & the concrete siding. When they deliver those I don’t see how a lot of that doesn’t get cracked or weakened from the structure moving & buckling.

[@westernwanderer8397]

What I've seen, they may be tiny homes, but they still have a big price. But these one seem quite reasonable. I'd love to put one of these over one of your bunkers!

You know what would really spruce up a bunker? Windows. It sounds crazy but I bet you could frame in and set up cheap (or expensive I guess) tvs like windows and do some cool stuff. Like replicate the weather and seasons, live display off of cameras above ground etc.

[@angeliacoffey6731]

I do enjoy these tours, liked the back half of #6 but not the front. I still want a loft you can walk in. Have you ever seen one with a screened in porch?

[@jackbauer9077]

They are nice, little pricey but I think if I was starting out today I’d buy one for 100 or less and then add a small bunker that you make underneath it as a basement/shelter, and have it hidden and not tell many people about it. Great stuff but I got a manufactured home on block foundation with attached 2 car garage. Love my land and house was a great deal wish I had a basement or could add a bunker under it, I just want a small One for some food/water storage and gun/ammo storage, with the foldout cots you offer. Once I get things paid off I’d like to look into what options I could have done with house already built.

[@nyneeveanya8861]

Like the blue house kitchen on the end. Hard to find that anymore.

[@tomjacobsen9431]

One of the thing that makes these places feel like home that you cannot do with an underground bunker is the light you get from windows. HOWEVER, I saw a good idea on how to simulate that from a different video where they made windows out of flat screen TVs with cameras topside so it looks like you are looking out of a window to the outside when you are just looking at a picture on a TV screen.
