[@daveykonijnenberg951]

[@Superb_Legend]

I'd find a way to put weather stripping on the door

[@lorenrobertson8039]

@@Superb_Legend My exact thoughts too, both you and Randle's. Some WD40 on the door handle and locks would be good too. But yeah, I think the spiders get in around the door d/t the light you can see means they can get in.

[@margaretbedwell58]

I've never had a storm shelter but a few things I would add to your stash: Pillows, blankets, perhaps a change of clothes especially for children...these could be put in one of those suction bags and slipped under the stairs or cot. I couple of battery lanterns with the LED lights, a small first aid kit, a small picnic basket w/dishes and glasses and utensils enough for your family,some food for the dog (which I am sure you will work on getting him in there and used to being in there) some books and some coloring books and games for the kids and perhaps some old quilts or moving blankets (also put in the collapsible bags) to lay on the floor for a bit more comfort. I know a tornado doesn't last long but if it is just a very bad storm these items might make it more livable. Just some thoughts. Have a Blessed day.

[@2436golden]

A picnic basket? These people will not be going on a vacation. If they have to use this shelter and space is at a premium, Most of this stuff is unnecessary when survival is your only goal.

[@umpus]

@@2436golden Nonsense, put a 50" tv, ps5, lazy boy chair & mini fridge. You just got yourself a man cave.

[@steveball9696]

toilet sead cover with deoderizor for onof the buckets, and a couple of wide planks to put on the rows of buckets for more comforatble seating, in case you are in there for some time.... a radio and lights. would be nice. When you closed the door, I could see outside light coming in... that might be where the bugs are coming from

[@wntu4]

If that was mine I would be storing a bottle jack, a wrecking bar and some lumber behind that stair. It is not inconceivable that debris won't block you in in the event of a direct hit. Towels. Because hello, it's going to be raining like the second flood. Lube door, caulk it with RTV or something. Teach Gabby to get in that bunker. A storm is no time to be fighting with your dog. She will be terrified as it is most likely.

[@the.magnus]

David good tips bro!

[@327h7]

David In that note , it is a good idea to have the door opens inward. Like you said who knows what is going to land on top of the door . Nice and water proof shelter .

[@riptryhards4318]

[@ericsmith8961]

The jack inside is a amazing idea never know during a tornado what will be laying on your door afterwards

[@mountainneko]

It appears you need a better seal on the door, even when you closed and locked it you could see sunlight coming in. . .that's where the bugs are getting in.

[@daveykonijnenberg951]

Just eat them a good proteïne source

[@CaroleMinxBlanton]

Need to plant some grass on the mound part. It'll help that dirt from washing away. EZ and fast installation. I'm gonna need one!!! Lol. Gabby says heck No! My aunt's dog is the same.

[@Itried20takennames]

Not just bugs, but gas, radiated air, rain, etc

[@downonredgatefarm9349]

You did a great job. Knowing you can keep your family safe is worth the hard work and I know it brings piece of mind . Have a blessed day.

[@garretr4488]

Looks really good. I doubt many other people feel the same way as I do but I would put a small antenna tower with a rugged scanner antenna setup with a radio to receive NOAA weather and local first responders to monitor the exact position of the storm. Just a tip for some who might of not thought of this who find it intriguing

[@KeepingItDutch]

Garret R my buddy has a big tower he said I can have. that's a cool idea

[@garretr4488]

Keeping It Dutch I would keep it fairly short for something like this and anchor it extremely well. Don't want your tower coming down as soon as the wind starts to pick up

[@Vault57]

Second the suggestion of the jacks and shoring timbers. Tornadoes blow big ticket items around. It is not impossible to have a section of wall, roof, part of a tree...whatever, Land on top of the shelter. Having equipment to force the door may come in handy. Suggest a rubber gasket for the door, smaller grid screen on the air vents and silicone the dickens out of the tubes. Maybe try the rubber spray coatings. Bugs get through extremely small holes, I have found them inside my car tail lights they are sealed pretty tight!

[@107retired]

I watched Twister....all ya needed was a pump house an a couple leather belts!!🤭😁🤣

[@deanc.5984]

Add some hollow rubber tubing seals around the doors, get some LED touchlights, bugbomb every 2 or 3 months, you're set!

[@mando1992]

You can can pick up some foam or rubber and make your own door seals maybe that would help with the bugs it would probably even help with the noise of the metal banging together hope the suggestion helps

[@KeepingItDutch]

TD Millz good idea thanks

[@nishilbhartiya]

TD Millz the metal sounds cool though 😂

[@jtarmyman4]

wouldn't sound very cool with very high winds. It would be very loud and even scary, especially if there are children that you're trying to keep calm.

[@judya.shroads8245]

I'd use a hammer drill to put up shelves, make bunk beds or tri- beds. Could lower the dirt in front of the hatch so it doesn't flood you out. More lanterns, just in case one quits. Look up herbs that repel bugs and spiders. Bushes around bunker to disquise it. Your dog will be real skittish in a disaster, you will have to carry her and hand her to ppl in the bunker. Nice dog. You are doing great. Keep it up. Love the videos.

[@100Ronster]

I like that it's simple. All you need is something to get you through a pinch.

[@living2ndchildhood347]

I would consider building shelves behind the ladder for 2 LED lanterns (keep batteries separate), 2 board games (Yahtzee, Risk, Chutes and Ladders, Life, etc), 4 light blankets, etc. Look at Nuclear War Survival Skills if you wish to turn your Storm Shelter into a Fallout Shelter.

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

Most "hurricane deaths" are from the tornados that spin off the edges of the eye. It looks like you are ready for some bad weather. I'm glad you didn't use the bunker, but am sure you enjoyed the security of having it every time questionable weather came close.

[@purrlinapawesome8687]

I live in tornado alley and have done a similar thing with my storm cellar. We've used ours several times and have survived a direct hit by a Cat 5 tornado. Good place to keep camping gear and week's worth of emergency supplies per person and pet. Make sure to use and rotate your stored water (at least a gallon a day per person and pet) and replenish your stored food. A little backpack with personal items (clothing, hygiene items, etc.) and reading material, playing cards and board games is also a good idea to store. Nicely done!

[@mrmotofy]

Pour water as you backfill, enough to flood the fill. Maybe every foot of fill. That will compact the fill and minimize the sinking. Weather strip around the door will probably help with bugs and spiders.

[@PhotoMotionCo]

I was wondering what it must sound like in the bunker in a storm. Might be a good idea to add ear protection plugs to your gear if you don't have them already.Great bunker!

[@jjjsmith2497]

Could also get those sound deadening panels and place on the walls..a pack or two at guitar center? not sure if they sell them but first place I would check..great shelter.

[@adamthompson8432]

And a GoPro so we can see inside and hear it when it hits. Lol. I wanna see and hear it while you’re in there to see how loud or quite it is when one hits.

[@walterneely8411]

It's really hard to understand why so many fools made negative comments about your efforts, I have had a shelter for about 12 years and just to know it's there is a great piece of mind just to know it's there if needed some things I did to mine was to paint it white, put weather seal around the door, added a strip of LED lights, and a 18 amp hour battery charged by a 30watt solar panel. I also installed a 12 volt TV and a scanner/weather radio, and put outdoor carpet on the floor. Im, sure all these fools would not hesitate to get in your shelter if they were looking at a F5 headed their way.

[@andrewevanoff1192]

It's really not a bunker but a tornado shelter. I would definitely keep a few tools inside the shelter. The kind of tools you need to break the shelter wall or cut off the door hinges in case a heavy object lands on the door and you can't get out. It may also be a good idea to keep an old charged phone inside the shelter. Most, out of service phones, can still make an emergency 911 call.

[@davidasimkosr4641]

Great Thing to have for your family!!!

[@1AYTC]

You need to train your dog to go inside in case of emergency.

[@alien_invation371]

1AYTC id just carry her in in that case

[@eleanorfetterman2493]

Years ago had a old time storm brick shelter. The thing is it the door was weighed down with lead, sure was heavy. The door had huge metal bolts inch to inch and half thick x3" and around 8" in length accross that bolted into the door jam. It was very well built and worked

[@rockyjjones8989]

You should get yourself 2 cargo containers. Butt them up on one side anke that your survivil bunker. Thanks area you have now would make a great entrance area. You would be able to pumb it wit running water and sewer. You could also have an area for generator's.

[@dstevenpaisley]

Spray around your door entrance with some raid or simular product will keep the bugs out also some on the screens The residue will stay quite awhile and help keep them out

[@nunya3163]

Adding a rubber weather seal would also help.

[@spo5egy]

Great video Shay and good to see it holding up well after a year. I thought the inside would be very small but looks great. Thanks for uploading and all the best.

[@kater.7563]

In a worst case scenario, the shelter may have you in there for up to a day (or more.) Just a few cheap items can make a Huge difference in comfort: 1. Outline the ceiling edges with battery op. led fairy lights. $2 a strand on TEMU. 2. Add rubber mats to the floor. Walmart has a pack of 24 (2’x2’) interlocking mats for $49. 3. Add folding camp chairs $8 each 4. Add a battery op. Camping fan. 5. Lastly glue acoustic foam panels to the wall. Not the whole wall, a line of foam panels around to the wall ( $30 on Amazon. ) stops the reverb, dampens the outside noise and makes it way less scary to kids.

[@cliffords.8341]

Get some single sided adhesive foam from Home Depot or Lowe's for the door to seal it up tight. My suggestion for any bugs that get in is the Raid Max Dry Fogger. You don't have to wash things off afterwards like other foggers because there's no residue left behind. It also travels to places that other foggers can't get to because it's in a smoke form rather than liquid spraying straight up in the air then falling down. You should have grass going up to the entrance so mud is not track inside.

[@straightshooter8443]

Glad you have it. It’ll sure save your life if you need it. All I do is wait for the sirens to go off and go outside and look up!!! I thought that was taught in Okie schools!!!! Lol

[@PlanetMojo]

We built our homestead on a slab, and are in a very high wind area (on a ridge by the Mississippi). We could certainly use a bunker for the tornadoes and straight-line wind 'events' (and potential zombies) we get around here. Now I need to start investigating one for our place -- yours looks quite nice, I'll have to look at those. Great video Dutch!

[@GoinBatty]

[@helen6466]

I love your videos and your shelter is great .... just some things I would do.... Get a bottle of home defence spray and spray just the inside frame to help keep the bugs out. Run out to wally world and get a 5 gal. bucket and a emergence potty lid . I had little girls and when they are scared they need to potty .... put some hand wipes and toilet paper in it to store .... maybe figure out a privacy curtain Dad .... they are little girls .... get a bucket of shredded pine or there is a blue stuff you can get that you mix with a qt of water. Next .... take a locking container .. so the buggies can't get in and keep some warm clothes and blankets down there . You never know what the weather will be like. Always better safe then sorry ,,,,, But you know that .... that's why you got an in ground shelter. Love your reports on Jessie .... Best of luck and Gods blessings.

[@AlfredWheeler]

If there's a way, bugs will get in. Try simple felt weather stripping tape around the door for a better seal. Little bugs and spiders will still get in through the ventilation screens and grow bigger from basically eating each other, though. Cool. Good job.

[@edwardmmanns7454]

Congrats ! You are the first one I have seen that put the shelter away from the house. Most are next to the garage or house or under trees that could trap you inside.

[@ramonal4648]

If an F-5 hits that square on those vents are gone.An F-5 can peel asfalt layers off the road.And people have been sucked out of low areas like basements and crawl spaces because of the power these have.Just saying the F-5 is still a mystery to man on how powerful they can be....the F-4 on down are survivable.....say if you layed in a ditch and it went over top of you.....this is what a guy told me a few years back.He sold fiberglaas shelters in Kentucky and Indiana and those were almost completely buried under ground with deep anchors into concrete.He said one guy that bought one in southern Indiana said the door was ripped off the hinges....but they survived the F-5.Saw your channel from Josh the stoney ridge farmer..So I subbed.!!!

[@heru-deshet359]

I would glue sound adsorption panels inside, A small flat screen, DVD player a cable feed from the house, a small beer fridge, microwave and a backup generator (secured in storm proof housing outside). It would make an "in between storms man cave".

[@tiborpurzsas2136]

If I had a large land like yours, i'd burry a shipping container ! I'd put a door on the container, and build an entrance/stairs out of concrete. So basically it would look like your storm shelter now, but when you go down, there would be a door at the back of the shelter, that would open into the shipping container ! You could hook everything up to the grid, and have power/ internet the works ! The whole complex could be hidden, that no one would be wiser, when the zombie apocalypse has arrived

[@jimzivny1554]

Nice shelter, a gasket on the door would be a big help, tiny bugs seem to get in even when no opening can be found though! Just a suggestion, you may want to keep a large pry bar(or two) and a few blocks of wood in the shelter in case a large timber were to lay on the door during a storm. I've also seen one with a hydraulic ram from an engine hoist repurposed to open the door if something large were holding it down, with a removable pin to use the door normally. It would be terrible to survive and be locked in afterwards. I'll have to go back and watch all the construction.

[@Ispowzfmanalog15]

Get some of that flex seal for the door, make a gasket with it. Good information, I’m in Shawnee myself and have been trying to figure out what kind of shelter to get... this looks like the one. Thanks.

Love your bunker. You may want to teach your dog to get used to it an emergency situation you need him in there quickly. You may want to put felt around your door on the upper lip of the door. To help keep some of the spiders and bugs out of your bunker.

[@ChrisLee-UK]

Nice Brother, great update and bless the hound! A year on and still not having any of it haha. We have spider problems here in the UK and found that White vinegar and pepper mint oil spray around the doors or anywhere else they could get in pretty much stopped it. Failing that then maybe a slightly larger seal on the door. May I suggest a small first aid kit in there somewhere too, nothing major but something along the lines of a booboo kit.

[@corndog2835]

I would want at least one shelf up high to be able to store some things on in case the floor gets wet, nobody wants to have a soggy blanket.

[@thebusterdog6358]

Corndog are you planning an extended stay? You don't need any of that stuff. A couple of gallons of water, a crowbar, 10 pound sledgehammer and a .45 cal 1911 is all you'll need for the time you'll spend in that concrete box. Tornados don't last for more than a couple of minutes .

Looks great! Even though we don't necessarily need one for tornadoes anymore, i'd still like to have one for emergencies anyway. We moved to East TN from Wichita (where Hubster is from) and it was incredible to see the difference in what folks live in. Back home (Oklahoma/Kansas) we're used to always thinkin' about safe places to go for tornadoes. These folks live in CAMPERS!! On BLOCKS!!! It's insane! lol. And I would say a good 65% of homes out here are camper/trailer/modular something or another. To find an actual stick built house is fewer and farther between. It was an adjustment for sure! We had the worst time finding a "REAL" house that had more than a half acre with it. LOTS of properties for sale with good chunks of land and a single-wide. cray cray.

Aww, Gabbie still doesn't want to enter the shelter. Bribe her with some snack foods! I'm not sure those latches are very strong. I'd hate to see your door sucked out by a strong storm. I now understand why your shelter isn't fully submerged - it's because of water issues. I would definitely drain the water away at the low end of your shelter (door entrance) with a French drain and keep that dirt away from blocking the door. It'd really suck if it became blocked during a real emergency. Keep up the good work and God bless.

Weather stripping around the door should help. Nice little shelter.

[@Brady.John87]

Maybe use a micron filter or some pantyhose over the screen. Maybe the spiders and other bugs are tiny enough to get through then when you see them theyre to large to have fit through. Another tip is anywhere there's a seem it a joint use some exterior elastamaric caulking. I am a professional painter and I use elastamaric in almost all exterior surfaces. It's a sealer but it will move as the structure settles and tweaks here and there. No cracking and no failure points

[@peterpiper_203]

Solar panel on the roof Raise the intake and exhaust might aid in the bug issue and change to PVC There are fittings available for just such an installation Also look on KZbin for a remedy I remember seeing one where you put something in the corner of your home and it keeps em at bey Great Job Just like a snowblower You don't buy it to use it You have it in case you have to use it
