Thor The Northern and you probably couldn’t pay for it either so don’t say he won’t be able to pay for it what if he won the lottery and bought one and PAID it
I saw you Ron on tv today, you were a lot younger and no gray. I didn’t know you were in the shelter game for so long. It just gave you instant credibility. People really need to know how long you have been doing this. Made a video of your journey thru the shelter business. I was VERY impressed, that is something that the “other” shelter company can’t claim. Good job. Nobody will ever be able to sway my decision to go with you as my shelter guy when I can afford one.
A lot of commenters asking about where to put the washer and dryer. I'll be glad to take their bunkers after the don't survive the first two weeks. Sheesh, folks. It's survival. You got all day down there; wash by hand. I'm waiting for someone to ask about the hairdryer.
I think the storage box that the tv goes on should open forwards (the front panel should be the door) because you don't wanna have to move the TV every time you want to access it.
yeah my question is how do they get a 42 inch tv down there cause idk the width of the hatch so idk also if the couch needs to be replaced in the future of how they would get it down there
I can imagine how busy you are since the China 🇨🇳 virus pandemic... the sheep have suddenly realized what I have been talking about since 1975. Thanks for sharing.
Lol and since 1975 none of us have still needed a nuclear bunker in the USA. Still cool to watch and fascinating but none of us will probably ever need one.
I love this bunker, but I would definitely put a larger shower in there. There’s plenty of space to install at least a 36” x 32” and put the sink on the wall with the toilet.
@@dennispope8160 gotta wonder how you'd get a bigger one in there other than having them put it in before they weld everything lol. May be bigger than the door and staircase
PsykoGamer yeah I imagine one (or two and one left in storage) being brought in just like the couch is... cause a $60,000 roll up 65” is just too much but I’m sure they’ll come down in price in the future.
From what I've learn about electrical, you don't want anything near the bottom incase water ever got in, I'm not a bunker expert like you but I would think having the fuse box higher off the ground would be better and easier to find incase of a power outage
Love the tour and how you explained about the functions of the shelter. Loved that you included the cost. This is my dream shelter, If only I could afford it. I really enjoy these Atlas videos and the time you put into them to make them the best for the customers money and safety. Thank-you looking forward to more videos.
Great shelters, but I just heard $200k, as a builder myself I only saw $35k - $50k worth of materials. The hard work of labor is truly appreciated. But at most, should be half that cost.
If I could afford it, I'd get the Big Boy. It's just me and my dog, but I'd still get it! LOL! A more sensible option for me is the 10x26 round culvert though.
Not only is electric a safer choice to heat hot water in a bunker, solar panels could provide limitless power. Not so with propane. My offgrid location is all electric for that reason.
For a tornado shelter, these are fantastic! I’d honestly consider buying one of these when I move to the Midwest. For a nuke shelter though, after watching “Threads,” and “The Day After,” I think I’ll find where the ICBM is dropped and stand under it. Won’t know what happened. Won’t have to scavenge, starve, and fight for food. Won’t have to worry, because I’ll be ash.
One nitpick I have is the storage under the TV. Why is the lid open upward instead of forward or sliding door on the front. Wouldn't you have to move the TV away to get to that storage?
@@Jason_DPMF Tv sits on the top. I've seen it in other posts. Be smart about storage. Put what you don't need often: snow boots, garden seeds, water-purifying charcoal, powertools. Remember it's not about having what you want often but what you need rarely. Same for underfoot storage.
I would add plugs in the bunks, would allow a reading light and fan both for white noise and airliner like air circulation to prevent clostrophobia. Dark out noise absorbing curtains on bunks for privacy and quiet. Best
my OCD would kick in... the wiring is visible ... the gaps behind the shelves / the walls and the floor...the finger holes of the storage, where dust can collect. the unsightly legs of the air filter attached to the floor with screws...but still i love the atlas shelters, a quality product
@@_EllieLOL_ That's true. And i understand that. My critique was directed at things that would not change even if the bunker was finished. The wires, the gaps, the holes will not "disappear", and the legs are screwed in the floor. That's why i prefer the square bunkers even if they can't be buried as deep as the culverts.
Then you put your OCD in its proper place and make it realize that if you're there, there're bigger and more important reasons as to why you need to be in there in the first place :D
@@timteller1400 I prefer square shelters as well for similar reasons. I don't understand why they can't put a larger culvert tube around the square ones. I mean, it would add to the cost significantly, but those tubes can be huge.
Ah, I'm not poor by any stretch of the imagination, just comfortable, an I have a wife that comes first before anything else in life, an be careful, it can all be gone in a flash.
Hi ron from Canada. Do you ever do spec models and then wait for it to sell? If I came and did an interior for you and then a video with a basic model as shown today and another that was redesigned and upgraded. For $$ extra would it sell? You could offer upgraded trimout packages. More than basic is important to a lot of people. Separate question what’s the devide of most active member of sales in couples women to men%? My guess is women actually drive more sales ...or is that wrong?
Just a question, has anyone considered putting a small treadmill or exercise bike in a bunker? Not for weight loss but to keep the muscles in your legs strong for when it's ok to leave the bunker. I just haven't seen that kind of thing in person shelters.
I love your videos and if I had the land I'd be an immediate customer, however I live in a tri level on a postage stamp lot. I could use a nice lil man bunker under the one car garage! Thanks for making your videos and your great product.
I dreamed something up and wonder if it’s a possibility. A pop up scope that rotates 360 degrees. So if you lost power or lost cameras, you could safely see out momentarily to get a lay of the land. And maybe the exterior viewing glass would be accessible in case it needs to be cleaned.
if you are down in a bunker for awhile with a limited water supply for example a 2500 gallon tank for the sink toilet and shower i wouldn't recommend doing so many dishes maybe paper plates and stuff is better choice
I was always curious if you had to be locked down in bunker for extended time,what do you do with food waste etc. so environment doesnt become toxic???
if in the future If I had one i'd just to make sure that theres a few 55 gallong drum barrels underneath the floor and maybe a 2500 gallon water cistern also buried that gets regularly refilled and emptied just incase
having a video about you or a friend living inside a bunker for at least 1 week would be nice..how it feels how you face anxiety how you face having no daylight how you manage food and garbage that would be useful tips on how to get throught living something like this
I've never seen a walker in one of your shelters ( could be wrong ) but seriously anyone thinking if their just gonna sit on their brown lounge, are dreaming. If you don't exercise your ass isn't coming out
@@TaylorHaubrich my son is at USAFA right now....well he's at home right now because of the CV, but he is is normally at USAFA. Thank you all for your service!
i dont get why people dont drill a fresh water well, like people have in rural america, then have that pump in the bottom of the shelter. seems like the shelter relies on having a large water supply built up but you could just get rid of the water tank completely and use that space for storage maby a battery bank for extra power storage.
I have a small 17' travel trailer. Most of the interior walls and ceiling are covered in carpet, totally eliminating echo. I would consider doing that here as well.
@@Joshg1984 After I posted that comment, I watched one of his tours of an _installed_ bunker. It seems you are correct, due to the corrugated nature of the sides. I think I still would cover some surfaces though for aesthetics.
You should go into more detail about the water filters. It doesn’t have to it actually has five or six I couldn’t tell if it had a remodel riser on it. The first filter you have is a sediment filter to catch the big stuff the one under the sink is the real filter that’s the RO system. Arrows stands for reverse osmosis. So it looked to me like you have three larger filters on the RO system and I can’t remember exactly what they all are but they have different uses I know one’s a charcoal filter. And then you have the real oral filter. Of course that’s what takes out everything and I believe it’s the best filter you can get. So I guess what I’m trying to say is you have a great water filter set up and you should highlight that and explain it. If I worked for you I would know what each filter does and explains the benefits of each. But that semi permeable membrane which is what is the reverse osmosis is what will take everything out of the water. It even pulls out minerals which are good for you. Some other systems like the one I have in my house have a filter on them that will add back of the good minerals like magnesium and calcium. I couldn’t see if yours had that. The nice thing is those mineral filters are only five or $10. So they don’t add a lot of cost to the system. But sometimes people will say they don’t want RO water because it’s very acidic and has no minerals if that’s the case you can say no my systems have a remilitarize filter on them.
Suppose you wanted to live in a Big Boy long term - not because of a disaster, but because you just want to live under a rock. Would you need to pack a filter for each year you plan to remain underground? And how quiet is it while sleeping? Also, how does the air pump affect temperature? In my area, if I installed one between 30 and 40 feet underground I'd be looking at average of just under 60 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Factoring in body heat and waste heat from electronics and I wouldn't really need to worry about Heating and Cooling. However, if I was constantly pumping air from the surface then I would have to worry about Heating and Cooling so I'd be a little concerned about the temperature of the air coming in. Also, are there any options of installing thermal insulation around the exterior surface? Not because I think it would help maintain temperature in any way, but rather because there is a technique for identifying underground bunkers using the infrared heat. The ground in an underground bunker is just warmer and that heat leaks out. Thermal insulation isn't perfect because the heat can flow around the insulation, but if it was spread over a larger area then maybe it would minimize the risk of something being picked up. My actual Dream Home scenario would be a series of underground bomb shelters connected to a large geodesic dome for plants. I'd have outside air brought into a greenhouse before going to the rest of the house to further improve the quality of the air I would Breathe. I'd also have exercise equipment somewhere.
How does the shelter get electrical power? A generator? Solar panels? If solar panels, then where are they hidden? If generator, then where does exhaust go?
They have something called a generator pod and its a seperate room with 2 gas tight doors and its a small room where you can store a 75 gallon diesel tank and a small 10,000 watt generator with a outtake pipe where the exhaust goes to that room doesnt fill up so its perfectly safe.
@Roy G Biv generator pod it's sealed off by 2 gas tight doors that can hold a 75 gallon diesel tank with a small 10,000 watt generator with a pipe leading up to the surface that is hooked up to the exhaust pipe on the generator

Why is there no stove?

How does the shelter get electrical power? A generator? Solar panels? If solar panels, then where are they hidden? If generator, then where does exhaust go?
They have something called a generator pod and its a seperate room with 2 gas tight doors and its a small room where you can store a 75 gallon diesel tank and a small 10,000 watt generator with a outtake pipe where the exhaust goes to that room doesnt fill up so its perfectly safe.
@Roy G Biv generator pod it's sealed off by 2 gas tight doors that can hold a 75 gallon diesel tank with a small 10,000 watt generator with a pipe leading up to the surface that is hooked up to the exhaust pipe on the generator
