I'm Building a Backyard BUNKER Part 1 - THE BIG TUBE

[@berto1014]

You need to watch Collin Furze, who built a custom bunker. Crazy insanely good video, its 2.5 hours long, but one of the most entertaining videos I ever watched. I'm sure he's got some ideas you could use for your bunker.

[@encyclopedia07]

That's probably where he got the idea from... 🤌

[@StrawDragon]

Imitation is the best form of flattery as they say...

[@DTOM76]

Hopefully this series includes a tunnel from the house 😎

[@JeebusChrist]

Furze is probably already digging a transatlantic tunnel to connect them. just take a left at the shed and head 5,000 km down there mate.

[@panda_person0660]

bro i was just thinking this is like colins furze's bunker just with a twist to it lol

[@BlacktailStudio]

Oh, all-in on this project. Already wondering if I can get a 5000 SF warehouse underground in my back yard since I can't find one close to me.

[@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936]

I have watched Colin Furze build a Bunker, I Can't wait to watch your Bunker build. This is going to be epic.

[@curtisbme]

Technically he built a tunnel. Though this project could use a tunnel to have one of the entrances start in the garage and the other in the house. And it needs an elevator on both ends of course, not a ladder.

[@DustySeven7]

you have obviously not seen the bunker build. The tunnel is newer and will eventually connect to the bunker

[@ryanj610]

This is the content I still come to KZbin for. Drainage, outside and inside the structure is paramount. Airflow and humidity control as well.

[@Shane_O.5158]

don't need humidaty control in Utah, but yes he needs french drains. or a sump pump.

[@emu071981]

The main thing that I would do differently here is to add in a second subfloor along with strategically located access hatches to make a huge underfloor storage area. Having that large storage area means that in the event that you do actually want to use this bunker as a long term shelter then you can store a lot of food and other supplies in there while still maximising the available living space for the inhabitants (very important for the longterm mental health). You want that second subfloor in there to help protect your storage from any water ingress that will pool at the very bottom (along with any potential longterm condensation) and because it is much easier to store and access supplies on a flat surface. Something else you could do is to add a large bladder underneath that subfloor and use that for bulk water storage. This would likely need to be a custom design (i.e. expensive) so that you utilise the entire area while going around the floor supports.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Good ideas! We will try to do both of those things

Collin Furze, has been doing this on a scale much larger in complexity! Really epic what all he's been able to do so far and mind blowing how he is expanding it. Excited to see how this turns out!

[@anonymousperson015]

This is interesting in that he doesn't have Colin's incredible fabrication skills, so that it's going to be a lot more accessible from a technical perspective: pre-fabricated parts and simple assembly. Colin's are maybe more interesting to watch as entertainment but not something 99% of us could pull off even if we had the funds.

[@TravisRayLive]

​@@anonymousperson015 Keep in mind that Colin was only a plumber, and learned those skills simply by practicing them. Something anyone can do. The hard part is the funding. I don't even want to consider how much Colins has cost.

[@DijaFix]

Can’t get enough of underground building content, so glad that you and Colin Furze have those going on so I won’t run out for a while 👌🏼

[@JSpyc]

Make sure that there is enough soil above the tubes so that your grass does not die at the slightest dry spell.

[@gumby511]

6ft should be more than enough

[@drippingwax]

How deep is the soil over Colin Furze's bunker?

[@josephross5948]

Water infiltration is your biggest enemy, be sure you are bedding, draining, and sealing properly. I’m enjoying all your content, have a great day!

[@Airsoftfrreak96]

He probably has made a lot of research from Atlas Survival Shelters, Round Culvert Bunkers, a top seller, from bedding, drainage, blast valves, check valves against tampering, 6 dog airtight bullet proof door, the angle on the intake and exhaust pipes so no fluids can enter and condensation travels down this angle and not into the air filtrations system intake. Really a cost effective design.

[@UltraJaff]

Will the bunker scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7?

[@brokencat2662]

In Estonia we have a warehouse/factory for similar pipes and i've always thought of this type of usage for them from the day i saw them, modular, different diameters and multi layered, certainly an affordable way to build anything underground.

[@pieterveenders9793]

How tall are those pipes? Because you'll want something at least 3 meter tall inside to give you enough room, especially because the actual internal heighth will end up quite a bit less due to the curved walls, floor and ceiling. Normally when they bury those pipes underground for bunkers they place wooden frames that are 50-70 cm tall in the center and on which wooden boards are placed which become the floor. That way you'll have a nice flat floor with a lot of storage space in the floor for food and what not. But of course that does mean that the internal height also becomes 50-70 cm less.

[@brokencat2662]

@@pieterveenders9793 from their page i got the info that may be fitting for you, "Krah pipes can be produced steplessly at intervals of 100mm with internal diameters (ID) ranging from DN/ID 300mm to DN/ID 5000mm" seems like 3m will be right down your alley, but i'd suggest looking through other sources for the proper information, as I've only ever driven past there, you are best off trying their site, company is Krah pipes, I am sure you can find it easily.

[@4TheRecord]

I recommend the Swiss air system for your bunker, if you're going to ride out nuclear fall out for a few weeks, you'll want to be able to pull in air and filter it. Also, make sure to put plenty of storage under the floor for food and water, two weeks to 4 months supply depending on how you do it. Another thing is to make sure the doorway is at right angles to the stairs leading down so that radiation is deflected, and of course don't forget an escape tunnel in case the main one is blocked.
