Needs a telescoping periscope
Hats off to the installers. That would be a tough install.
Hey Bro, I have a question for you? Could you sprey a heavy duty bedliner coating on the pipe? Seems to me it would provide a nice hard water proof shell. Take care. Hawk out!!
@@patriotgardener8837 its water resistant already. its a sealed system. air comes in through the vent pipes

That's coming in 8 weeks. Double big boy

SUUUURE! Why not just build an entire underground CONDO outta them?!? Then we can film another movie there like “Resident Evil.” Or how about the one with Steven Seagal hacking up the zombie vampires with his trusty katana, Against The Dark.” 🤣
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters hi mate!!!! I from Australia too, just wondering if you can ship here???
Will you guys probably consider setting up a factory here in Australia....maybe????
Bravo. Now all we hope now is for everyone who knows where this bunker is to forget about it because the best guarantee of an effective bunker is anonymity. We are just glad that in this day and age, the owner of the bunker doesn't have to kill everyone who worked on this bunker. He he.
Honestly if I had the money to buy a bigger house I’d rather buy a nice little piece of property somewhere and build a small decoy shack or cabin with one of these built underneath it and live in it full time. These things are awesome
not because I am afraid of shit but I agree with you, they are really beautiful inside and you're right put a cabin or something over the top for when one wants to hang out in the daylight.
Same
This is a “fort” for adults!
Me 2 it looks neat
problem with this is, as you can see your water supplies is all in tanks, so each time you have a shower u essentially deplete a ton of your water resources, stuff as simple as laundry or doing the dishes would be a pain to do aswell, so its not very practical to live inside premanently.
Watched a couple of your walk throughs for bunkers, from a psychological standpoint, your customers would benefit from screens on walls that have a preloaded sunny day with woods set up like windows, that randomly change to a rainy day. With sound of crickets and frogs at night.
The smart tvs would just look like windows with curtains and blinds.
They can manually change the "Channel" or turn them off. But the subliminal idea of being in a normal situation may help mental health in a long term stint in an emergency situation stuck in your bunker.
The sand in your escape hatch was wet sand. It's gonna turn hard as a rock after a few years. Should have use dry sugar sand instead.
You’re right. That type of sand would solidify after a relatively short period. Small grain dry sand would be best for the hourglass effect.
Lies!
And you can only use the hatch once and then its no longer secret or full of sand!
I want one. Hells yeah. But the escape hatch I would want the same entry as the main. And actual agled stairs. I'm sure that's an extra but a good touch, especially for elderly, moving, and rapid deployment. Thanx Ron. Great job.
Although this appears to be constructed from galvanized steel i would still paint it or even cover it with fiberglass / epoxy as the the stone could pierce the galvanized layer and cause point for corrosion to set in. Further more a cathodic protection system may also be of of benefit
I dont think you understand the reason why the pipe is galvanised. When the zinc layer gets compromised it wil ''sacrifise'' itself and repair the scratch. Paint, while offering some protection. Its minimal. Kind of like covering it with a blancet. Best would be to cover it in concrete. Wont see any rust for decades that way
My dream home! I shared this on my Facebook! 200+😊
Please keep the videos coming! It’s great how you simplify and explain for people like myself that’s dumb in this field brother! Thanks for the sharing!
Vocês são extremamentes caprichosos.... trabalho de ótima qualidade.... não vejo a hora de Deus preparar meu Bunker com vocês. Parabéns....
Paranoia can certainly be expensive. Thanks for showing us how these are built. Great view of the weak points to attack in these bolt holes. It would be a simple matter to make them uninhabitable by permanently plugging the vent pipes. Or one could simply smoke out the inhabitants by building fires around the vent pipes. Add a few loads of dirt on the horizontal door.... then weld them shut. Add an emergency exit? Go ahead. once you're out of the shelter it does you no good.
Any bunker can be defeated with the right tools. the idea is to keep them hidden and secret
I wanna see how you're going to move the generator, gun safe, fridge, and master bed in after everything is underground.
I was wondering the same thing maybe if the stairs could fold down after install to make room then fold back up and lock into climbing position
I think everything is put in in pieces. If somebody gets in the bunker, the gun safe is the least of your worries.
Generally people's attention span is so short that they will forget the equipment was even there after a week.
@John Smith 46:00 No, the generator isn't in yet.
@@chrismitchell3005 mattress are very small now days when packaged
Great job glad to see that good craftsmanship and pride in your work is still practiced today I’m 56 and this is not very common today as it was years ago. I was an aircraft mechanic and later on a maintenance man in a steel mill so I know good quality when I see it
That's cool. It looks like high standards and craftsmanship is still alive in America. Let's remind people what made America great.
I am not normally an internet safety police, but man those guys in the hole with no kind of shoring make me nervous. I was on a job site where a guy lost his life in a trench cave-in. I will never forget it. A very dangerous situation.
I'm envious of whoever is getting this jem.
Same😭
Gem.

The installation crew did an excellent job
You guys are magnificient workers, truly pro in what you do.
The escape hatch seems to be single-use after you break the plastic and drain the sand? How would a person reset the escape hatch for re-use after having broken plastic, drained the sand, etc? Just refill it with the same sand or is there something else?
You would just have to replace the plastic and refill the box.

@@jillybean8587 I was making a joke.
@@nascarcollector3715 still everyone loves a caveman hey xD ?
A mechanical crank would not be a bad idea incase of hydraulic door failure..
find those old timbers 18ft down I would run through the tailings pile with a metal detector just to see if I could find anything
yes, that was strange? where they cut timbers or just a bit of a old tree?
@@dh2032 they were milled to square to be just a tree
Heck yeah, found an old tailing pile on a family property and we found a good amount of leftovers haha
Looks like old mine supports to me
someone just did the old dig a deep hole and stuff the old house into then burn it method
That is so dangerous being down in that hole. Vertical wall cave-ins are a real and common thing
Anything over 5 foot in depth needs a protective system to protect the workers. Benching can substitute for shoring.
They put these workers life in danger.
Do these have septic tanks attached? What happens to the water from showers, toilets and kitchen?
Even if they use a composting toilet the liquids waste needs to be dumped, right?
You should make a pit under the escape tunnel to capture the sand. That way it won't be piled up at bottom of the ladder blocking your escape. Put expanded metal on the floor so the sand falls through to the pit.
Lots of improvements are needed on the escape box is my thought, as once you use it...well it is like a one off, one use, never to be reset without a considerable work.
@@BGALUM WRONG.
@@onekerri1 Please explain, as the sand falls to the bottom of the hatch...WRONG is hardly a response.
@@BGALUM I was just saying you're wrong in the sense that it's not a "one off", as Atlas answered someone's question saying that it can be reset. Good day.
@@onekerri1 It can't be easily reset, so I am not wrong. It is a one off, as it can not be reset quickly. If needed to be used in case of a breach, 5 minutes for the ability to get out is entirely too slow. Resetting this emergency hatch can not be done in less than 20 minutes without more sand and heavy equipment readily available is all I am stating, which is 100% accurate.
I like the concept of what you are doing, but the escape hatch seems like it would take way to long to escape the way it’s currently set up. Also the air vents and exhaust for the generator pipes coming out of the ground probably should be another two foot higher in the even of massive rainfall in a short period. (Sometimes it happens in West Texas).
Last but not least- the entry stairwell will probably be difficult for elderly people and younger children to access if needed (it obviously would work well for older kids through maybe mid 60s).
5 days, 2 crews, a total of 7 men. 9,000 in labor, plus the equipment rental, semi-trucks, 200 tons of gravel, two semis to transport the shelter. That's a lot of cost for the installation. Plus the electrician and plumber.
Finally a new video and as a bonus I think you have done one of your best one's.
Something tells me that damp sand they packed in the emergency escape box is 100% not going to drain out of that 6in pc plug lol. For 100k you could at least get some nice dry bags of play sand to fill it with :D
Love it all except a sump pump as a primary water removal system. I think I would put very large French drain under the shelter running into large drywells and even daylighted however far you have to go to find grade. At that point it's perfect.
he put in a French drain. open your ears
How nice of someone to put in a high quality supply point for a roving band to reprovision themselves.
This is great stuff. Everyone on earth should have one.. The Way the world is today .Every new home should have one. God bless the U.S.A.

Great work!
You really deliver a good job.
Cheers from Brazil
Hi Ron, Glad you are showing us what we can get done. I appreciate it.
Sam
Small family businesses ftw :)
Superb set up. Dread to think how much this set up all cost!
Hey ron could ATLAS create a Underground city or a monolithic dome city would that be even possible.
Sounds like a plan
I was thinking the same thing.
Demo man comes to mind but alot cleaner lol
Go to switerland. it was already in place in 1997 when I toured it. every office building is tied in -- like an extreme version of downtown Tulsa Oklahoma
That floral print mattress looks like something I had in the 70s haha
Some of the products you use in your bunkers, make me remember of my good old time during military duty.

Something small to consider. The coach bolts used on the stairs may loosen over time at the timber expands and contracts. In Australia we have to use through bolts on stair treads so fixings don't pull out. Keep up the great work.
Nice installation. If I ever buy one of these, I will have to modify the escape hatch tunnel that you would crawl through to get out. These old knees couldn't handle the corregation of the pipe. I think a plywood sub floor would do the trick quite nicely.
Good idea or foam/rubber mat flooring ??
My knees hurt just seeing that. A few yoga mats would fix that. My biggest let down is the lack of "dynamat" on the walls; if I had to live in there, I'd be killing people from all the echo. (but these things are mostly for show. nobody ever thinks about actually living in one for months/years. My aunt's house -- built in the 60s -- had a bomb shelter; everyone who's ever seen it says it's a horrible tomb, and it's half the size of the house.)
You could install an armoured vehicle periscope through the door.
You can put in what ever you want to it all comes down to how much you want to spend ??
You should get a crusher bucket for your excavator so your operator doesnt have to bother with picking through the rock and dirt, it will crush any smaller rock into dust, it makes backfilling over pipe or any material you dont want rocks to touch. Very quick and easy
Should spray sound proofing on the door side of that engine room. Help to keep the noise pollution down in the living area.
Nice storage under the entertainment center. Now add a vesa mount for the tv so you can actually get to it when theres a screen in there!
It's good to see that you employee Americans! myself I am South African. Amazing Job. You and your crew. This is what makes America great👍🏻

You make lots of cool videos I am thankful for what you guys do have a good thanksgiving.
Talk about a half-ass trench, here ya go. This trench should have been done days ahead of time and done right. Loose gravel to level it out, and that small so called compactor. The bunkers are nice but the prep work needs lots of improvement.
If it’s nuke proof then it’s not deep enough.
@@camptube7621 LOL
Love the set up. Thank you for the detailed video. God bless you and your family.
How would you even get furniture in that thing
What about earthquake proofing?
BTW: That deer blind ain't for shootin' deer, folks. Sheeeeeeesh.
Been wondering when we were getting a new video
Been busy installing them
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters When I saw the new video, I thought to myself, With all this crap going down... You guys must be BUSY. Keep up the good work. Nice install.
Ron, how long did the bunker build take once ordered? I'd love to get one of these babies.
2-3 months
He took time off to cry about the election
Shouldn’t the cliff walls have been covered to keep the sand from mixing with the rock too?
Might be your best video yet Ron! Thanks, keep up the good work!
about the scape pod, wouldn't you think that the sand you poured in will be very hard? even tho there's no way water can filter in the sand will harden in time. so when you remove the cover from the bottom off then... no sand will come down. have you ever had sand in a place for so long then stays in its shape? that's what i think it'll happen. also, the scape pod is too close to the other end. if somebody is trying to break in, don't you think they will notice something near by???
It's great to these vids again, it's refreshing! 👍👍👍
Great job guys 👍😎
Might be a good idea to put an old car or something between the entrance and escape hatch so you have some concealment when you pop out of the ground and it will dampen the sound of dirt falling back in.
I love it, one day I will build up my bunker and I follow yours rules 👍🏆
You could bury a milk tanker and go in and out at the top, they have a nice seal.
I wonder how much it cost counting installation?
Fantastic. You think of everyting.
For the amount of work and material this looks good value
Wow! Great job! Great comments too! One thing came to mind for sure though, the air flow system was good but what about fallout filtration? You would probably require another large galvanized conduit section similar to the generator room just for a decent water/ activated carbon scrubber. Then there are the bio hazard airborne particulates to consider as well and a toxic gas/ radioactive particulate removal system with an exterior sensor array to inform the residents of outside air quality. A decent scrubber will probably cost an additional 100G. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. I subbed and hit the like button. Pretty cool dude. Thank you kindly.
it's a Swiss NBC air filtration system. that's all you need
I would love to install these for a living. Even though I hate using a shovel anymore that came from 14 years of above ground and above/inground swimming pool installation. But that would be awesome to install.
Me and my buddy are thinking about having a drinking game and everytime you say either condensation, check valve, screen or sump pump we're going to take a drink. I'm pretty sure we won't make it through entire video without being plastered.
You should do a video demonstration actually using the escape hatch.. I think that would be very informational and would get great views..
At 52:47 exiting the bunker - - sounds like a TANK right outside!!!!!!!!!!1 But only certain people would think that. Serious install!!!
How do you get a generator, fridge and gun safe in there after you’ve installed this thing?
Good question
Carefully…
I would think a generator would lower through the main hatch with a winch and chain. Fridge would have to reassembled after lowering. You’ve spent this much, what’s a little more?
Yea I would ask to get my big ass fridge, safe and king size bed put in before it's all sealed up at his shop.
I love the emergency escape hatch idea. Very clever!
The Military was installing escape hatches in their Missile Silos sixty years ago and they were much better designed and easier to open from inside than this one.
I've installed many USTs and we used pea stone on the fiberglass tanks. Stone is more stable and a very low compaction rating whereas sand has a 30% compaction rate. 12" of sand will compact to about 8".
I am worried that I will not have enough time to open the escape hatch system before the aliens come and break in the front door.
Perhaps some playground foam mats for the escape tunnel, you know the small folks will want to play in it if they are stuck in there for any length of time. Would small pea gravel be an upgrade for the sand / dirt above the escape ladder.
Any chance you could load up the culvert before it is lowered into place? I'm imagining trying to put the generator and fridge down the tube entrance. There has to be a better way. I'm also envisioning all the supplies that would have to be taken down the stairs.
What is the survival theory as to why the escape hatch gets buried?
Watching this video is oddly relaxing.
I'm thinking a slight grade or hillside would be ideal for getting rid of the water . Entrance from the hillside also with a alt. escape up the hill or close yet hidden . Maybe a could small wind or Hydro turbines for added energy ?
I did not realize you guys were one town over from me lol.
I can see that escape hatch plate,being very difficult to handle.Especially when removing it in an emergency.doesn't seem to give not enough clearance
you may be a wussy
@@jnkoa33 at least he is not a girly boi like you
Nice job guys
great video...great bunker
You should wrap the french drain and gravel in fabric like house building codes require. Sediment makes it through the gravel and into the pipe over time. The french drain from the video will eventually end up clogged and useless.
What's the point of the sand if there's a bolt-on hatch in the escape tunnel?
Also, I'm thinking the best way to get supplies into the bunker would be through the generator manhole. Position a shop crane with a pully block over it and maybe use vehicle winch to lower stuff down.
I think the sand is there for protection from radiation, possibly for blast protection as well?
Sand is in there first off for additional radiation protection then as a deterrent to someone trying to get in. Being the secondary hatch cover is a few inches underground it’s not visible for direct attack anyways.
Iron Edison is a good company and care about your business. They will help you design you battery setup with either Nickel Iron or Lithium Iron. If cared for they will normally last the life of your solar system. Nickel Iron are NOT maintenance free but only take very little care, Lithium are maintenance free. I believe the Nickel ones have a 30 yr warranty and are super easy to see when distilled water needs to be added(not acid like a normal lead acid battery). Lead batteries also will need to be replaced sometimes after only 5 years, maybe even sooner
I have no affiliation with them, just know some folks that used them and are happy as can be. They will even help design a backup for grid tied systems. They also don't need to be one big trunk battery
the "convoy" part made me smile☺👍
Oh i get it now. The geo silt screen combination with the angular stone will create a
Loved the video. I just wanted to say the decontamination shower looks like it would only be marginally effective. A government study I read once and barely remember said that you need like 70psi pressure at flow rates of like at least ten gallons a minute to be effective. Just something you may want to research yourself and figure it out if you need to upgrade.
you can
Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
Very Nice Video and I like how you explain everything I am in Texas too
Great job on everything else .
Amazing. Alot more than i thought is involved. Wish i could afford one and had a large enogh lot for one
So would you be able to change or repair the sump pump without going out of the shelter? If there was a biological agent, or radiation, I'd hate to have to go outside the shelter, and then dig 15 feet to access a pump......seems like the sump is a weak point in these shelters. I wonder if there was a way using culverts and pipes to empty the water without relying on power.
"Nice job!! you may want to look at getting a cleaner sand for the escape hatch it's packing some, it looks to have a lot of silt or dirty sand . look at a bigger grade particle size also so it will flow threw the hole nicely.
You better have Deep Pockets for this project !
Fascinating,really enjoyed watching this 👍
Wow very nice 👍🏻
Is the condensation check valve running to ground.. is there a way to put that into a resevoir to keep a water cycle.. so that you can collect and distill or filter the water for reuse? So if you have a greywater recycling system so that if you are in shelter for a protracted series you can cycle in the water?
