Bravo. Now all we hope now is for everyone who knows where this bunker is to forget about it because the best guarantee of an effective bunker is anonymity. We are just glad that in this day and age, the owner of the bunker doesn't have to kill everyone who worked on this bunker. He he.

SUUUURE! Why not just build an entire underground CONDO outta them?!? Then we can film another movie there like “Resident Evil.” Or how about the one with Steven Seagal hacking up the zombie vampires with his trusty katana, Against The Dark.” 🤣

[@crippledbeast_U-toob]

Watched a couple of your walk throughs for bunkers, from a psychological standpoint, your customers would benefit from screens on walls that have a preloaded sunny day with woods set up like windows, that randomly change to a rainy day. With sound of crickets and frogs at night. The smart tvs would just look like windows with curtains and blinds. They can manually change the "Channel" or turn them off. But the subliminal idea of being in a normal situation may help mental health in a long term stint in an emergency situation stuck in your bunker.

[@lungbiscuit2412]

Great job glad to see that good craftsmanship and pride in your work is still practiced today I’m 56 and this is not very common today as it was years ago. I was an aircraft mechanic and later on a maintenance man in a steel mill so I know good quality when I see it

[@SuperStormWarden]

Although this appears to be constructed from galvanized steel i would still paint it or even cover it with fiberglass / epoxy as the the stone could pierce the galvanized layer and cause point for corrosion to set in. Further more a cathodic protection system may also be of of benefit

[@kaptein1247]

I dont think you understand the reason why the pipe is galvanised. When the zinc layer gets compromised it wil ''sacrifise'' itself and repair the scratch. Paint, while offering some protection. Its minimal. Kind of like covering it with a blancet. Best would be to cover it in concrete. Wont see any rust for decades that way

[@smartass6071]

The sand in your escape hatch was wet sand. It's gonna turn hard as a rock after a few years. Should have use dry sugar sand instead.

[@Famous-Potatoes]

You’re right. That type of sand would solidify after a relatively short period. Small grain dry sand would be best for the hourglass effect.

[@wickedcabinboy]

Paranoia can certainly be expensive. Thanks for showing us how these are built. Great view of the weak points to attack in these bolt holes. It would be a simple matter to make them uninhabitable by permanently plugging the vent pipes. Or one could simply smoke out the inhabitants by building fires around the vent pipes. Add a few loads of dirt on the horizontal door.... then weld them shut. Add an emergency exit? Go ahead. once you're out of the shelter it does you no good.

[@AtlasSurvivalShelters]

Any bunker can be defeated with the right tools. the idea is to keep them hidden and secret

Great work! You really deliver a good job. Cheers from Brazil

problem with this is, as you can see your water supplies is all in tanks, so each time you have a shower u essentially deplete a ton of your water resources, stuff as simple as laundry or doing the dishes would be a pain to do aswell, so its not very practical to live inside premanently.

[@code-dredd]

The escape hatch seems to be single-use after you break the plastic and drain the sand? How would a person reset the escape hatch for re-use after having broken plastic, drained the sand, etc? Just refill it with the same sand or is there something else?

[@NavyVet4955]

You would just have to replace the plastic and refill the box.

[@stevesavage1357]

I like the concept of what you are doing, but the escape hatch seems like it would take way to long to escape the way it’s currently set up. Also the air vents and exhaust for the generator pipes coming out of the ground probably should be another two foot higher in the even of massive rainfall in a short period. (Sometimes it happens in West Texas). Last but not least- the entry stairwell will probably be difficult for elderly people and younger children to access if needed (it obviously would work well for older kids through maybe mid 60s).

Something small to consider. The coach bolts used on the stairs may loosen over time at the timber expands and contracts. In Australia we have to use through bolts on stair treads so fixings don't pull out. Keep up the great work.

Love it all except a sump pump as a primary water removal system. I think I would put very large French drain under the shelter running into large drywells and even daylighted however far you have to go to find grade. At that point it's perfect.

[@jacksimper5725]

For the amount of work and material this looks good value

[@briangarrow448]

Nice installation. If I ever buy one of these, I will have to modify the escape hatch tunnel that you would crawl through to get out. These old knees couldn't handle the corregation of the pipe. I think a plywood sub floor would do the trick quite nicely.

[@RJM1011]

Good idea or foam/rubber mat flooring ??

[@jfbeam]

My knees hurt just seeing that. A few yoga mats would fix that. My biggest let down is the lack of "dynamat" on the walls; if I had to live in there, I'd be killing people from all the echo. (but these things are mostly for show. nobody ever thinks about actually living in one for months/years. My aunt's house -- built in the 60s -- had a bomb shelter; everyone who's ever seen it says it's a horrible tomb, and it's half the size of the house.)

[@mtnn4459]

Anything over 5 foot in depth needs a protective system to protect the workers. Benching can substitute for shoring. They put these workers life in danger.

[@thomasjanos2030]

Amazing. Alot more than i thought is involved. Wish i could afford one and had a large enogh lot for one

[@Jerry-ko9pi]

You should make a pit under the escape tunnel to capture the sand. That way it won't be piled up at bottom of the ladder blocking your escape. Put expanded metal on the floor so the sand falls through to the pit.

[@BGALUM]

Lots of improvements are needed on the escape box is my thought, as once you use it...well it is like a one off, one use, never to be reset without a considerable work.

[@onekerri1]

@@BGALUM WRONG.

[@BGALUM]

@@onekerri1 Please explain, as the sand falls to the bottom of the hatch...WRONG is hardly a response.

[@onekerri1]

@@BGALUM I was just saying you're wrong in the sense that it's not a "one off", as Atlas answered someone's question saying that it can be reset. Good day.

[@BGALUM]

@@onekerri1 It can't be easily reset, so I am not wrong. It is a one off, as it can not be reset quickly. If needed to be used in case of a breach, 5 minutes for the ability to get out is entirely too slow. Resetting this emergency hatch can not be done in less than 20 minutes without more sand and heavy equipment readily available is all I am stating, which is 100% accurate.

[@ih8yall]

Do these have septic tanks attached? What happens to the water from showers, toilets and kitchen? Even if they use a composting toilet the liquids waste needs to be dumped, right?

[@interstellarconveyance4865]

Wow! Great job! Great comments too! One thing came to mind for sure though, the air flow system was good but what about fallout filtration? You would probably require another large galvanized conduit section similar to the generator room just for a decent water/ activated carbon scrubber. Then there are the bio hazard airborne particulates to consider as well and a toxic gas/ radioactive particulate removal system with an exterior sensor array to inform the residents of outside air quality. A decent scrubber will probably cost an additional 100G. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. I subbed and hit the like button. Pretty cool dude. Thank you kindly.

[@jnkoa33]

it's a Swiss NBC air filtration system. that's all you need

[@stevesavage1357]

The Military was installing escape hatches in their Missile Silos sixty years ago and they were much better designed and easier to open from inside than this one.

[@lrsmith6037]

5 days, 2 crews, a total of 7 men. 9,000 in labor, plus the equipment rental, semi-trucks, 200 tons of gravel, two semis to transport the shelter. That's a lot of cost for the installation. Plus the electrician and plumber.
