As someone who builds nuclear shelters for families, the use of asbestos and the flimsy mesh used would be a no-no, plus you want a escape exit or its just a tomb. It also needs to be about twice the size to be able to live in it for 14+ days for fallout. So sink, toilet and macerator to pump the waste up and out, addition of shower is a luxury. Water storage and power storage with deployable fold out solar panels to run intake and extraction fan with carbon filters, run lighting and cook with, add some beds and books games etc and you're done. BUT building a bunker yourself using repurposed materials is hard and I'd give this man 10/10 for effort and 5/10 score on his bunker.

Видимо слово бункер это какой-то тренд которым сейчас называют всё подряд. Погреб, склад под землёй, подвал и т.д. Но за проделанную работу - респект и уважуха. В моём представлении бункер = это подземные одна или две жилые комнаты, склад и автономные системы. Плюс система охраны и контроля поверхности над землёй. Плюс тайные ходы, особенно за пределы участка. И соответствующая маскировка.

​​@@politicareligionymasnot real really the reason being is it's only useful for a very short time and if your close enough to get too it. In the event of a nuclear war for example you still gonna die unless you it can stay underground for months with months of food, water and means to filter air. If your in eroupe of North America your fucked. If your a soldier in Intel you would know this as you would know there be like maybe a 30 min warning before all hell breaks loose. And that would depend on where you live. If your near a big city or a military base yea your done. If you live or in the boonies you might got a chance but the radioactive debris unless you got the supplies, gear ect for at least a year you might get by

If you are 15 miles away you won't die from the blast or heat, you will die from the fallout IF the wind is blowing it towards you. Then you will be one of the AVOIDABLE casualties due to lack of preparedness.

The rebar within the ceiling spanning over a relatively small area is strong enough to hold up the weight of the concrete, especially when its wire tied together.

No it's a nuclear FALLOUT shelter. He only needs 1m of packed soil on top of his shelter. It doesn't have to be airtight and he doesn't need to worry about air filtration, though it would help a little. He won't be targeted by a NUCLEAR MISSILE, therefore he doesn't need to be deep underground. In fact, 90% of all casualties from a nuclear war will die from RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT. He will be protected.
