I would suggest using rotary switches in these bunkers (commonly used in caravans, boats and ships) because they are a lot more durable and can last a lot more than regular American ones.

[@shadowcrusader2283]

I have watched a lot of your Videos, Beautiful craftsmanship throughout. I would like to add something, on the escape hatch you cover them with plastic and tape, it seems to me that would deteriorate in a matter of a few years, you may consider a pre fabricated injected molded polyurethane cover that can stretch over the exit, thin enough to cut through but thick enough that it will last for a great many years fit it like a skirt on a Kayak, coming from someone who turns wrenches for a living thought I would toss that Idea out there. Keep up the Great work

[@doogaloo5904]

Interesting idea and only adds a couple bucks at most. I’d just be sure it’s sealed with silicone on the inside and outside to remain air tight, and it would be very long lasting.

[@bencapobianco2045]

I was thinking about that too. Wet sand won’t flow through the 6” screw cap at the bottom so well and would be much harder to get out of the way in a hurry. I like your idea for a cover. Make it air tight and throw in a bunch of desiccate bags to keep it all dry in there.

[@markholmes1346]

Love this bunker, looking forward to part 4

[@jiminauburn5073]

When I first started seeing the pricing on these I thought they were way overpriced. But looking at all the steel that is in these things, that is quite expensive. Still a lot of money, but I guess if you have the money, spend it if you want.

[@happzy]

Still, it feels crazy to spend 100k on "just in case"

[@jiminauburn5073]

@@happzy Oh, I agree. That $100K is just for the gunroom part. That is a bit excessive. If I was going to get a shelter, I would probably just put a gun safe in it, rather than a $100K room. Or maybe just some racking on one wall, and turn the entire thing into a gun room.

[@usernamesrlamo]

This ‘bunker’ has a terrible layout and use of space. This thing is built to be a man cave and guest house curiosity.

[@ethansprofile6670]

I'm curious if there was ever a consideration for an ATV garage and storage for when driving escape would be considered.

[@JoshJones420]

Dude, straight up, I want to buy a small acreage and install this size bunker and just live in it full time! Who needs a house when you can do this! Just build a barn for the vehicles, and you're set! With the world going to heck and WW3 CLOSER THAN EVER, this bunker/house is a TOP PRIORITY as far as im concerned!!

[@Prepper-go5sr]

I noticed it's missing in every bunker... and I was wondering why too

[@kaptein1247]

@@steciaffa2227 Im guessing most people put those in themselves. The beds often do have storage

[@ivaniuk123]

A few design questions. First, why would you want your generators so close to the entrance and before the decon area? Wouldn't you be getting dirty and contaminating the entire bunker if you needed to work on them or turning them on? You're essentially sealing yourself off from your life supply of power... Second, why would you want a coded armor gun room in a security bunker? If anything I'd want that door on the outside so people can't get in lol. Last point, your emergency escape tunnel is behind the gun safe door. If something happened and you couldn't get out and the only guy with the safe combo is incapacitated then you are screwed. But I'm sure that was a design choice of the owner.

[@Dyson_Cyberdynesystems]

Yeah that's what I was wondering. If you had an intruder, they could shut down your power ect and force you to come out. But maybe I'm overthinking it.

[@Indyxx87]

this whole bunker makes no sense because of the fire that will be lit under the air pipe

[@KrokisMtl]

This fort knox room is just stupid. Dont see the point. Why those people who spend hundred of thousands of dollars have so little vision ? Make a real livable space not some teenager whim.

[@robertevans8024]

I'm wondering when you're going to do away with the old style reverse osmosis water filtration system and start using the newer style, with the very easy twist off/on replacement filters....?🤔 Soooo much easier !!!!! 💯 One hand, quarter turn.

[@elissaann-ij3tb]

Small kitchen and no pantry. Love the gun room. But you really need a pantry the same size as a gun room for being underground for weeks.

[@Tastygreenbean]

Truly amazing

[@scoobydoosdad9010]

Hate to point this out but you need more HVAC setup. Not enough air transfer seen in the design. Some rooms could have CO2 issues.

[@paulholton]

With 2x 300 Water Containers, total of 600 Gallons, I'm assuming this can be filled direct from the home aboves water supply, to fill, but my question which I cannot seem to find, is once you use shower water or sink water, or even your toilet water ..... Where does this excess water and waste water go? I am assuming this water leaves the bunker and dissperses somewhere ... HUGE FAN OF THE CHANNEL

[@para1324]

Super nice bunker. My only question would be the fresh air supply pipe for the bunker. What if the house structure was on fire and or collapses. That may obstruct and or cause smoke to enter the pipe. Here is southeast Georgia the water table is so high it would seem impossible to have a bunker. Any suggestions on how that may be solved? Atlas is the only bunker system I would ever consider. 👍

[@DemiseUnseen]

Great observation. That's the first thing that came into mind when I saw the bunker intake right next to the house. If the house burns for some reason, the bunker is going to be smoked out.

[@skhotzim_bacon]

Build the pipe taller and have it protected by a Boulder of some sort

Cool shelter mate, have a great day!

[@bencapobianco2045]

Ron I have a question. Would it make sense to put all of the channel on the outside with the “c” shape facing down to avoid water sitting on it? I know you’re competitors don’t need to worry about that because there welds couldn’t hold marbles let alone water but you guys have really nice solid weld beads and I could see that holding some water? Just an observation from a fellow welder/fabricator. Also the sand in the emergency exit would be hard to remove if it was to get wet, did you ever consider throwing in a bunch of desiccate bags with the sand just for some added protection? Thanks

[@ShawnRector]

Thanks for showing me those pipes... so in a survival situation basically you just make a fire around those pipes to destroy the air quality inside the bunker to get their people to leave and then loot everything... or completely cut off air to the bunker // fill with water down all those pipes.

Hello Ron! I want to ask you a question about what the toilet system is like: does it work with a composting system or does it work like a chemical toilet? Once your tank is full, how is the sewage discharged? Thank you very much in advance for the response

[@holycrap8367]

One question, what if the bad guy destroys the air pipes

[@xordoom8467]

Looks awesome, thank you for sharing...

[@Paladin_Strategic]

Fascinating. Why is the gun room vaulted, since the bunker, itself, is a vault? Thanks.

[@TheWorldsOkayestUSMarine]

Thinking the same thing. I could see it being used as a "last bastion" of sorts, if the vault door can be closed from the inside. However, if someone has gotten through the hatch and both blast doors, you're probably already screwed.

[@DuxGalt]

Perhaps they have kids or guests whom they would not want to be able to wonder in during normal times or otherwise

[@richschwartz8004]

Ron I have a question. I noticed that there weren't any 90⁰ turns going into the shelter. Was that because the owner wasn't worried about it or because spacial restrictions? Sorry for what was probably a stupid question. I'm just trying to understand why someone would spend that kind of money and not do it the correct way like you said in the past. God bless and stay safe.

[@plaid13]

You need to come up with ways to disguise those vent pipes that look natural on the lawn. some sort of decorative benches or bird feeders or something. Something that lets them flow air without being seen looking out of place on a normal suburban lawn.

[@silverking8742]

He literally said that they are planting bushes around them to hide them

[@Blueknight1960]

These bunkers aren't really going to be installed in a suburban area. I think most will be out and away from suburbia.

[@plaid13]

@@silverking8742 bushes are not good enough. Need something that looks natural in the yard where it can totally hide the vents. Bushes you will likely still be able to see a pipe in the winter or whatever. Ideally it should look like maybe a bird feeder or a fake decorative well or be put inside a shed or something that looks like natural random yard stuff.

Ron, in the shower Decon room, is there a floor drain for the water? Couldn’t tell in your video.

[@zZMorpheusZz]

With all due respect and I love your product and maybe one day I can afford it. You go through all the trouble to make it waterproof you can order it with stainless steel air vents you make sure the water is drained out of it etc... I am not sold on the electrical utilities being PVC. Me personally I would want it to be all stainless steel and of course coded Etc. I really can't get it out of my mind why there's any type of piping on the outside that's in PVC because eventually it will crack and deteriorate.

Really cool but some great stuff in that air pipe would plug it up nicely lol

[@ZhuJo99]

Remember that if you use RO for water filtration, you need to add minerals after, for it to be useable for consumption. I am thinking this was thought of, just throwing it out there.

[@AtlasSurvivalShelters]

These pipes don’t interfere with breathing. They are for air intake and clean air out. Exhaust is a ways away. And I take is 20 yards awayb

[@Ringele5574]

Out of curiosity....Why the cinder blocks under the perimeter of the shelter? I'd imagine soil will still get under the shelter over time, and why try to keep it out?

[@RobertPeters04]

What stops them from rusting out besides paint? Looks like a gamble if you need it in 20 years.

[@chrish42000]

Does osmosis water get drained back to the tank or is it wasted? I thought they need a 10 to 1 amount of water or something crazy.

[@ruffianturnt2550]

Help me out ok lol. I just don't understand why the generator room is separate from the rest of the bunker. I understand there's emission issues right but, wouldn't you still want access to it from the main bunker area? I think if there's intruders wouldn't you eventually be cut off from your generator...

[@ytgeek8268]

Horrible design flaw, All an intruder has to do is make it past the first door and take control of the power generation room. Then they own the "Bunker" This is more of a novelty and not a real survival shelter.

[@DuxGalt]

The noise of the generator will be really loud, its best to keep it away. Also most of these bunkers have vault doors to the entrance from the home(this one seems like it will have hidden bookshelf entrance). Then there is the AR500 steel hatch which can be locked from the inside, then there is a gas tight door made of steel. if somebody gets through all that. they can either go through 2 more gas tight doors to get to your living area, or 1 more to get to your generator. if they take out the generator, then you should go out the escape hatch and come back in behind them. ultimately a bunker is not meant to stop a raid, its meant to protect you from a bomb, and its fallout. It is hidden and so nobody should know you have one, that is the real first line of defense.

[@repugnant01]

@Ron, just out of curiosity, how do you dispose of garbage if you have to be holed up for months at a time in your bunker? Is there a garbage incinerator that you offer? What if a pet dies and you can't come out of the bunker? You gotta dispose of it somehow.

[@joeblow1748]

What if you include those advanced sky lamp plates in your package to enhance the space room feeling.

[@jacobrose3080]

These are amazing in their great for most situation but my problem is what happens during flooding. If a huge catastrophe happens, plugs out most of the United States how does one survive until the water recedes. Why doesn't anybody think about having a room strictly for plants. They could grow their own food and there's plants could provide fresh oxygen. Also an idea of mine would be to have an exercise room where everything is tied to batteries it might not be much but if you have multiple people down there that put in an hour or two a day it would be able to help me charge some batteries as well just in case a generator is not an option. Set up a hydroponic system try to tap into some underground water source have a grow room use power from exercise equipment to power the lights amongst other things you're also able to grow food you can use your body waste as compost not going to be fun but it's an option and you're that much closer to self-sufficiency. Spending a half a million on a bunker is a lot of money only provide Securities in certain situations but a death sentence and others. You guys are amazing though you do great work I know a lot of these things are restricted to what somebody can afford or what the customer wants just speaking hypothetically

[@fogdense1364]

Designers! I see many people making the same gross mistake in opening an external hatch: simulate a situation where a multi-ton mass of soil, rocks and tree debris is lifted into the air by a blast wave! And all this will lie on top of the hatch cover, which opens outward and will be physically impossible to open from the inside! And even if there is an additional hole on the other side of the bunker that leads up, it will also be blocked, and the inhabitants of the bunker will be buried alive! I propose installing 2-3 manual hydraulic jacks on the door leaf, so that if the door is blocked from above, it can be raised to such a height that a person can climb through. That's the minimum.

[@peterryan4851]

So I didn’t see food and water storage. And the generator? Is only as useful as the fuel storage. How long can the shelter sustain life re food, water, and fuel for lighting and other essentials?
