BACKYARD BUNKER PART 5 - WATERPROOFING THE TUBE!

- Today we waterproof my underground backyard culvert bunker. Visit www.kiwico.com... for 50% off your first month of KiwiCo with code JERRYRIG. And huge thanks to KiwiCo for sponsoring this video. Before we can bury my backyard bunker and put the dirt back on top, we have to make sure that the bunker tube itself is water tight. If water gets inside the bunker when it rains.... well... that would not be a good thing.

Consider renting/ buying a gas meter which analyses the air (oxygen %) in the bunker while construction is going on. There's plenty of fresh air now, but once you start closing it up more, you risk suffocation due to lack of oxygen that's used in rusting (oxidisation of metal) or a leaking inert gas bottle used in welding. Could become a problem overnight without warning.
Stay safe and good luck. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

I’m about 3 seconds in but what your saying tells me he didn’t backfil with concrete witch has a interesting reaction with metal oxidation keeping metal that’s touching concrete from rusting with just neutral ph moisture
Edit never mind I’m farther into the video that’s a dumb building order
You know that you have ventilation put in generally powered by battery banks and a generator so it won't be an issue
They will definitely add some ventilation at some point.
Why is he putting a bunker in his backyard in the first place
@@jwalster9412"At some point" that should be initially started before fully burying the thing.
This is one of those series you wish you found a month after it was finished, so you can just binge watch the whole thing.
Watch the Colin Furze bunker. Its more entertaining than this one imo, feels a bit more "real"
@Festivejelly actually not true ive watched it , this one is much better
@@Festivejelly Yes Colin Furze has on heck of a underground bunker system will last for ever.
@@TzvhonI would like to disagree
Props to the internet for five minutes for not having a 90 page debate on why Jerry sucks or not
The construction of the bunker is so fascinating to watch
@@Johnnyprc What construction method did you use on your bunker?
Why?@@Johnnyprc
The fact that he is making a lighthearted video about building a bunker is ominous. Why is he building the bunker? What information has he received that regular folks like us have not? That’s what I want to know
@@ricpla6930 Paranoid much?
@@ricpla6930views? Colin Furze is doing the same
Just wanted to say that i massively appreciate the fact that you've edited in the conversions like pounds to kg. Makes it way more fun and interesting to watch this series.
10:13 very smart idea to use peanut butter here to cut down on costs.
Can’t wait to see the series of Zach’s great grandkids restoring the old bunker
Zack* why do you people spell names how you think they should be spelled
are you from the future?
I am curious how you were able to coat and water tight seal the bottom areas that make contact with the ground.
I have been wondering the thing my self if water goes below the tube and that not sealed then that would be an issue
Same here. Was just searching if anyone already mentioned it 😂
That’s what i was thinking
Same
Digging a hole under the seam an coat it. 😅
They must have seen a few of Furze's videos cause what started out as gentle asmr bunker vibes has now gotten a punk rock soundtrack!
For real though, i'd love to see you two chatting about your bunker projects over a cup of tea (and presumably zoom), you're both brilliantly entertaining and educational channels!
Well, Furze didn't bother to waterproof the steel he used to build it and just covered it with concrete. People have been saying he did a mistake but he re gently did a small test cut and there were basically no rust.
@@Dragonitedbasically no rust is bad. That means that it rusted pretty quickly for something that is supposed to last a significant length of time.
one test spot, with protection covering, had a tiny amount of surface rust the unprotected test piece had zero rust!
@@ashtonhoward5582
@@ashtonhoward5582 No rust means all rust? What?
@@scikick "basically no rust" means there was rust. And I'm assuming he didn't put it up multiple decades ago. Ergo, not good.
It might also be smart to add a sacrificial anode afterwards, just in case you missed any small amount of bare metal. This might be able to take the lifetime of the bunker to a couple hundred years if managed properly.
This. Sacrificial anodes are common with buried propane tanks.
Yes! considering there is still mill scale on the steel under the coating you applied any damage or inconsistency’s to the coating and milscale will cause accelerated corrosion to the steel (mill scale is electrochemicaly catholic to the steel) highly suggest a scraraficial anode. (Probably should have abrasive blasted mill scale off before applying coating)😅
What's a sacrificial anode?
@@hamza-chaudhrybasically what it sounds like, you place a metal that corrodes easier than the one of the bunker. In that way when corrosion occurs it will happen at the sacrificial metal. For more details check how corrosion, anodes and kathodes work 😊
@@hamza-chaudhry When you have different metals inside something wet, atoms move between them. This is how batteries work. Some metals are more willing to let go of ions than other metals. Zinc is a common sacrificial anode. So you put some Zinc under the bunker and connect it, and the zinc will corrode before the steel does.
There are also "active" solutions which add electricity to the steel to reduce the chance of corrosion. These work as long as you have electricity to run them.
Either way, these systems can add decades or centuries onto the life of buried metal.
You guys are absolutely killing it with this project, AND the camera work! Got my jar of dirt!
Thank you!
Hey Zack! Nice job! The paint you are using is very good and probably it is already good enough. In the oil and gas industry normally passive protection (paint or resin) is not good enough. The next step is cathodic protection, in your case you could use some magnesium.
It is very commonly used in gas station tanks and it is relatively cheap.
Yep, it's used on underground propane tanks all over. Does need to be replaced every couple decades though.
I love seeing all the different tools Jerry is using on this project. Tools I never even knew existed.
Like the hammer drill at 12:29?
I got here like 1 minute after this video came out and theres already so much engagement
The way you speak. So much engagement
Like
@@michblitzlike what?
New to the internet huh?
@@xploration1437 I guess I just forget how many subscribers he has sometimes
This construction project is going better to spec than 90% of homes being built today. Looks beautiful!
*in the us
my house is made of concrete, not paper.
When talking about re-coating the Trenchcoat, you mentioned not having to do anything to the galvanized metal. It's too late now, but you should use spray galvanizer over any areas that have been welded.
I thought they applied waterproof construction adhesive to those joints. Or I could have misunderstood.
@@NoNonsense316that and rubber, but he might have been referring to the rubber gasket and not any additional rubber (when he was applying the adhesive he mentioned it being applied to either side of the rubber). He then applied a long sheet of rubber that was then clamped down with a collar, on top of the tar stuff.
Great to watch! Really enjoying the progress. I couldn't help but notice the OH&S issues. .I.e. no rails when walking across planks or even standing on top of the bunker. You wouldn't want to slip and fall. Here, in Australia, you need safety rails even for roof tile works.
DIY and OH&S are two things not seen together
Wow I got here soon, opened yt and perfect timing love the series, keep it up.
Just a thought but like a boat/ship in the ocean, have you thought about connecting a sacrificial metal like zinc to your bunker that can easily be inspected and replaced? I think it would help increase the life time of your bunker for those areas that eventually have direct exposure of steel to moisture that you can't easily inspect or replace.
Thanks for all this POV shots, feels like we are there building with you.
I broke a sweat watching all this work in 1st person POV 😂
Loved the detailed explanation about trench coat coating, MAG drills and the high mill shirar.
11:52 I was thinking it smells like white chocolate vanilla 🤤
Nailed it
I hope your engineers have accounted for the uplift pressure (aka buoyant force) that will act as a upwards force on the bunker. Last thing you need is for your bunker to float upwards when the soil gets saturated.
It’s already done. He finished a while ago, he’s just releasing it as a multi part series but he finished months ago.
@@jsl6155 could still happen
The smoke ring was a cool bonus love the project will do one my self later in life
Thanks Jerry I was amazed by KiwiCo and ordered my daughter her first one! She loves building things.
Milwakuee's M18 Hammer in good use there @12:30
All that hard work buried like it never existed. Have a great week and God bless amen.
One note on the galvanized metal. Any small scratch can and will remove the coating, leading to rust. Consider spraying a final coat of waterproofing on the entire outer area once all work is complete and before backfill. Water is your enemy, it can and will find its way in.
Dont forget to paint the screws with that black paint you just tightened at 12:26!
Just out of curiosity, how do you deal with the exposed metal of the seams at the underside of the tube?
I was wondering this
I suspect they dug a small trench by hand, painted it, installed the ring and rubber gasket, and filled it back in off camera.
@@warrensteel9954 I'm not sure they did it, it would have been pretty good video material and they would have shown it 🤔
The fact that Zak keeps joking about the apocalypse is truly worrying as he is a man who always seems so optimistic about humanity. But when nuclear war happens in our life times then I'm not sure living a few years more is going to be worth it....😰❤🇺🇸
Just started this bunker series by jre today and just finished p-4 like 2hrs ago and now I have been blessed by this p-5
I have to admit, that sound when the coating burns off is really cool. Definitely one of the great things about working with metal is that if you screw up you can just weld more, and with a bucket of that epoxy you can recoat whatever welds you make.
I hope you are also treating the welds on the galvanised metal, for corrosion!
Exactly
Man this is a learning expirience. At first i was like, thus weirdo is worried about rust on galvanized but you meant just the welds
@@TheAnnoyingBoss actually in my experience galvanized steel that's exposed to constant moisture and encased in dirt isn't all that rust resistant
Looks like they did afterward. You can see a shot at 4:50 where it looks like it was painted as well
@@TheAnnoyingBossany steel rusts eventually given enough exposure, all of them.
Some sell bathwater, other sell their backyard dirt...times are wild man!
10:28 man why did you eat that

"puffing smoke rings better than Gandalf in the shire, but im here for it" - aaaand now im cleaning my monitor off from the spit-take. XD
Whohooo. Got lucky. 1 of the silver receivers!!!!
Thanks for the dirt and the silver
Bunker video is getting more interesting day by day.
Wow this is by far the most kick ass project I've ever came across done by a youtuber.
GO TO COLIN FURZ HE DID IT BETTER
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SERIES FOR AGES!!! You guys just dont know what i've been through this week. Its tough world out here for me. And see this series pop up on my youtube i instantly happy, like there is still hope for me. I dont know, im just talking ghibberish i know. Im nust sad and frustrated. Your videos makes me happy. Thats it
Same story, life has been so hard on me recently but this video just makes my mind turn the other way (for a moment)
Hi, don’t know what you have going on but I just want to let you know that you are way stronger than you think. Lift your head up high and stay strong ❤❤❤
Whatever you going through now, i hope you get through it champ....stay strong! 🦾
Life has a unique way of beating us down, over and over again, really sometimes pretty hard, before "the light" at the end of the tunnel appears to us in our sights. I will pray for you to have enough strength inside of you to continue to fight, hang tough, and never stop fighting the "good fight", until the light completely surrounds you again. That time WILL come to you and you will know it when it does. Just NEVER give up. God Bless You! Fred
This comunity is the best so far. Thank you guys, for all of you. God bless you
Got my dirt!! No silver but glad I was able to be part of this!! Also got my 2 knives! Stocking staffers for my dadcand I lpl
can't wait for the 100 years revisit
I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing at the Gandalf blowing smoke rings joke, I feel like I'm the only one who's imagining Gandalf and Snoop smoking it up and Gandalf is blowing fat clouds!!!
I have one question. Why do you need a apocalypse bunker 😊
Amazing project but some of the shots looks very dangerous task being executed with no safe line attached. Work safe guys! Cheers
As people have previously said, you need to have concreted the foundation before you laid the bunker on it, as its going to sink
Should have just made the bunker out of concrete.
LOL, No.
@@dubious6718 It depends, the concrete can crack and let moisture in too. Most bunkers made to last an explosion have both steel core and concrete reinforcement. or layers of both.
@@tacticooldennisthis thing has no purpose, it can't handle a blast, will never be equipped to handle fallout (it's not big enough) and is a easy way to get cornered since the secondary exit is just next to the main one. What did you expect from a guy that is relying on solar panels to power his "doomsday plan"
@@tacticooldennis Just because you call something a "bunker" doesn't make it one lol. This thing is more of an overpriced quick storm shelter than anything and based on the current design that's a slippery slop to call it.
12:30. That's why they call it a hammer drill. ;). Great work Zack!
Brother wanted a mancave and sold it as a bunker...sensational.
Going to start investing in a bunker after watching a the movie “leave the world behind.” Really got me thinking. Thanks for the information on this build
So, how did you re-coat the bottom of the tube? (The part that's already touching the ground.)
Zack is definitely making his money back with this series of BIY bunker building videos. Well deserved because they're entertaining and informational!
By "money back" do you mean he is funding all this project by his UA-cam views?
I think my favorite part about this bunker build is that you didn't use a shipping container. I cant wait to see how you do the infrastructure and furnish it!
When a once more famous Canadian youtuber made a small pop in a Utah backyard he got into big trouble with the state.
This particular project is really making a statement about things to come in the future!
Wonder how many Covid shots they've had?? LOL
That Harbor Freight tow strap is the MVP
I'm looking forward to see more! I love these series!
If you set those saws with the metal cutting blades to just past the full depth of the metal sheets youre cutting, you get more surface area on the cut and the blade will last longer.
That would be smart of us!
@@JerryRigEverythingmay as well save costs where you can i guess!! 🤷🏻♂️😂
why build a bunker so close to the surface? you could just have a cellar and have the same effect no?
What’s your definition of close to the surface? There is almost 8ft of ground over the top of the tube. If you look at the view at 03:21 and realize that the tube is 12 ft in diameter, you’ll realize that to get to the top of grade is about 8 ft. That is well beyond the recommended amount of dirt to stop the sort of radiation from a nuclear event.
Watching people do all the work for me for the apocalypse
Why the need?
Is that "STILL DRE"?😮 1:41
Im surprised you are not concreting it in, that would help protect the metal and strengthen it a lot, is this to do with cost or just a personal choice? and I have to say how amazed I am at the progress considering how many videos you are getting out a week.
Would add a huge amount of cost and work for little benefit. It will already outlive him and his children.
@@sean2044what do you mean little benefit? Concrete Brunker from ww2 still stands solid in 2023... Lol
@@sean2044that thing will start falling apart in 3-5 years...
Well it already snowed in Utah a few weeks ago so I assume these are prerecorded so he can post them quicker and so he could focus on getting it done faster
@@encyclopedia07 Not 100 years since WW2.
Jerry searches for "sacrificial metal" and study it a bit. Even coating everything is good to have some backup plan to avoid corrosion.
Therapy would have been cheaper
The coating burning might be the best ASMR I've ever heard
Selling your viewers dirt from a hole you dug in your background is crazy in all respects. Not a fan of this UA-camr monetization trend. Honestly thought you were above this.
I have a jar of dirt!!! LOL I didn't get silver, but I helped with this amazing project!
This series is one of the few things I get excited for when picking up my phone/opening UA-cam in general. Super interesting stuff
6:30 Level wife, level life.
imagine an asmr video of the welds burning through the coating while the camera slowly pans across each one smoothly
I just got my jar of dirt! Never thought I would geek out over dirt! lol
Heck yeah! A million year old jar of bunker dirt!!
You should use the area below the floor to store rations and other stuff
If there is room, you should add a wall of the phones you have durability tested. I mean like put them all in resin and put it on a wall.
just finished watching “leave the world behind on netflix” looked up bunker videos right away😂
11:47 The subscribe button effect
"instead of esthetic perfection this is more apocalyptic protection"
Kudos!
You’re probably too far along with things, but it would be great (or would’ve been great) to have Colin Furze visit to help out with construction and give any tips and hacks that he’s learned the past couple years from building his own underground tunnel and bunkers. Think of the crossover excitement and of course the views and clicks you’d get from that - which maybe you did. Good work and fascinating to watch, for sure. 🙂
Hello, I Watched your Drone (DJI 3 Pro ) and ended up buying a DJI4 Pro. Awesome is all I can say about it.
Wishing you and the wife a MERRY CHRISTMAS .
This is amazing. I have always wanted to see a wheelchair accessible bunker. Specially since I am a wheelchair user myself. I also got one of your jars of dirt. I don't know if it has the silver disk in it or not. Either way I'm thrilled to have a piece of the making of this bunker. Can't wait to see next week.
If you really want the metal bunker not to rust, you will want to NOT direct burry in soil. You will not be able to fully waterproof, even with epoxy coating as eventually cracks will occur and water, moisture will ingress and cause rust. Encasing the Bunker in concrete would be a great idea!
saw the title and was like colinfurze is making another bunker? I'm surprised af jerry is also into this😂
I usually only come to youtube for motorcycle content but ever since this started i gladly click on these bunker vids before i even check for new motorcycle vids lol. Love this series. I can't wait to see the final produxt
since you can't really get at the underside when painting the tar, I hope you coat the inside bottom of the pipe with the stuff. Hell, probably best to coat all of the inside joints and raw metal that's up against the dirt as a backup just in case of accidental inadequate coverage.
You should have som kind of manual lift mechanisms for one or both exits in case of a tree or anything fall over it to lift it open.
Either a pole with some pulleys to give extra mechanical advantage or an super sized high lift jack
I worked with galvanized and it will rust out on ya. We had to zinc coat every weld and we applied a slimmy waxy coating to prolong the life of the product. Galvilume will last twice as long. I know the bunkers is already vanished. You’ll get at least 35 years. Great build wish I could have one.
Two bunker series on two of my absolute favourite youtube channelse! YES PLEASE
If you are truly paranoid about the steel suffering failure due to corrosion (rust) look up "impressed current cathodic protection".
If not done, I would also recommend to inspect the welding via x ray field inspection. You want to make sure that there are no voidings inside the welding which could cause damage later on.
I work for an x ray company Baker Hughes. We do pipes and tubes inspection on daily bases. Good job btw :)
This whole channel is just coolness overload!🤩
bro this is the coolest shi any youtuber has done w their success
I have no idea how I hadn't seen JRE before now. The UA-cam algorithm has really let me down. I really appreciate the honesty. Great channel. Thanks
That's one deep ass groove at a level 8
I love how you manage to put the classics into even your own project documentaries
Rockish music behind a build montage of an underground bunker??? This really is slowly becoming Colin Furze! And I’m here for it!
At 5:30 I finally realized why it’s called heavy metal
Kind of iron-ic
This new Fallout 76: Utah Edition trailer is epic - just needs a Pip Boy!
So excited to see the final product... And I will admit I just bought my jar of dirt!
Zack, you've really become my favorite youtuber. Thanks so much for the awesome content you're putting out. Can't wait to see what else you do!
Great video Zack!
One of the things you mentioned is you don’t want your bunker to be a tomb, and you want two exits, and that got me thinking about Cylinder design.
For an O’Neill cylinder, you could either make it with windows on about 50% of it lengthwise alongside transparent high (enough) walls (I already outlined that)
The other way to do it is to essentially make the cylinder almost like a battery design (like when you take a battery apart), in that the spine is part of the ”casing” - basically being a hollow tube with the cylinder being a much larger hollow tube.
In that instance, The iris (or just bare openings) at either end could allow light in like a skylight, and you could use mirrors to direct the light around.
To be honest, even The design with 50% of the Cylinder essentially as windows, is still really robust because that’s the skeleton of the design already, just not filled in with stainless steel and carbon nanotube/graphene carbon fiber or graphene concrete.
I would still like as much of it to be carbon nanotubes/graphene carbon fiber- Simply because of strength, weight, and other attributes.
if you had a Cylinder that was essentially carbon nanotube/hexagonal graphene boronitride carbon composite, that would give you incredible shielding, not just regular radiation but Excellent X-Ray Radiation protection.
-that’s not including any kind of water reservoir you would have (say coral reef like what Florida sits on)
I’m thinking in terms of sending a Cylinder Interstellar, and in that case you need not only a water barrier, but the material of the Entire Vessel to be robust against interstellar x-rays over a long period of time. Like thousands of years.
In that sense, you would need at least several different layers/shell types because the occupants Will Need to do repairs over time. For an interstellar cylinder, most of the volume will need to be water, both for power and life. Fusion will be a requirement for interstellar space travel. As is having most of your volume being water.
What's the current timeline on your interstellar O'Neill cylinder vessel? Because of the similarity in a simple cylinder containing a significant technological advancement and the vessel be able to cross vast distances (forms of space(s)) I would name it the Archimedium.
7:37 What I find trippy is that when the welder starts working on the lower spot, it looks like the flame drops down. Just... *ploop!* Now I burn here!
@5:40 sounds like a heavy metal intro...oh the iron-y lol
