Some echo absorbing material in the concrete shelter would be a huge factor for increased comfort. Even a couple dozen square feet of coated rockwool would dampen that echoing down by so much.
I thought the same.
egg curtains could work too
It would also decrease once the bunker is in the ground. Covering it with dirt would have a large effect.
You won't need anything like that. Once it has a few boxes of food, made beds, water tank, toilet, all that will absorb the sound and break it up so it's not bouncing off the walls. Just like an empty house, that will echo too, until you fill it with furniture.
I like the size of this bunkers because of the small footprint, meaning a customer could dig a deeper hole and really make this little bunker withstand anything.
Ron said on CP interview that the install is done by any local septic company and would run you around $3K-$4K.
What would transportation cost to deliver about 800 miles? Would we be able to drive over it? The place we have for one it where we access our back yard. Thanks Ron. I think these are a great option.
I’m sure I’m wrong, but I can see $15,000-20,000 over the price for delivery and install.
@@dang6832 I'm hoping Ron will answer so I can see if we can swing it.
@@ryt2carry i understand. Ron is a good guy. Responded to my question so here’s hoping. I also hope I’m estimating high for your sake. Nothing but luck and hope you can swing it. I’m afraid it might be needed soon.
I can answer one of your questions, so I will.
Yes you can drive over this.
@@jasonbourne1596 thanks.
I’m ignorant about these but we just bought a number of acres between Luling and Seguin and are considering a shelter. We have not started yet but, my questions are:
How is delivery handled?
Is there a way to protect the electronics in there? Could I make it a Faraday cage? (I’m not sure what that entails)
What do I need to do to plan for the location? Are there engineers or such who can determine where it won’t work and where it should?
Thanks
There isn't room for that, you would need to plan that in advance if you want it to work as Faraday cage.
I mean you could build a cage in it, drill a hole and ground it, but it would be better to just have it built into the pour.
not really going need much of a faraday if its deep enough
Good stuff!! Thanks Ron 👍👍
Ron, can you do a video with a "floor model" that has the NBC air system installed? Obviously, you would need more holes in the side walls for the air pipes. It is hard to picture what that would look like. Also, maybe consider offering a modest "lighting kit" upgrade option that customers can purchase and install themselves.
Thanks, Ron 👍
Love your work Ron.
Alright another Atlas survival shelter video. Take care and be safe. See you on your next video.
Great stuff...better and better each video!
Buy a septic tank and pretty much have same thing. Make sure it's a new septic tank!!! LOL
Utility vaults are even bigger.
um No to the septic tank. septic tanks are designed to have water in them that prevents them from caving in.
yes to a Communication Utility Vault ( i dont know about cost comparison )
@@dreadroberts7523 You know they are put in empty right? Takes a while (years) for them to fill up.
@@Jerry-ko9pi It is not recommended to leave a newly installed septic tank completely empty and wait for it to fill over time with normal daily use. Filling the tank with water during the installation process is an important step. Leaving a septic tank completely empty and waiting for it to fill over time with normal use is not recommended, as it could result in the tank shifting or settling and potentially causing damage or leaks or collapse. If a septic tank is left completely empty and there is no water in it to provide counter pressure, it can be at risk of collapsing or shifting due to the weight of the soil and other materials surrounding it. This is why it is not recommended to leave a septic tank completely empty and wait for it to fill up over time with normal use. it is generally recommended to fill the tank with water once it is in place and the plumbing is properly connected.
Hi from the Tully farm in Manhattan Kansas.
These are a GOOD idea they remind me of some WW2 type in the UK. 👍
If you ever want to stay for a bit in the UK Ron I can show you some in my area from WW2 and the Cold War ??
Yeah Ron it's true I cracked the Lue map 🇺🇸 !! I'm still alive and well back in wisconsin gettin ready and I'm still planning on buying my new bunker from you as always !!!
Pretty cool shelters
Also adds to your home value!…👏👏👏
That’s just more property taxes.
Thats actually pretty cool
I know in Maine building code requires everything underground be 9 feet deep including foundation & septic & Leach field & root cellars & fall out shelters
Thanks! Exterior damp proofing/waterproofing? Is that up to the buyer? Type of concrete reinforcement used during the pour? Also, I believe I read where a local excavator familiar with septic system installs can do the work? Correct?
Good questions. Let's hope his sales team answers.
They could, but find you a construction crew that builds roads and excavates earth, and lays pipe and such, they could do it too.
I could put this in myself.
If you wish to add anything to the exterior surface, that would have to be done prior to installation. Also, completely sealing the concrete so that it cannot breathe can actually trap vapors in, not out. This is due to condensation by temperature differences inside the structure to the outside of the structure. Without proper and constant ventilation, you could be doing more damage than good. This would require approval from Atlas to maintain any warranty, I would imagine.
I love this guy and what he's doing, don't get me wrong. $20000 gets you the what looks like and incredible shelter!!. plus shipping/ USD exchange and installation. Depending on location and issues. Hopefully Sub $50000. but can you put a price on that kind of safety?? Keep up the great work!👍👍👍👍
It’s around $23,000 installed locally
@@AtlasSurvivalSheltersI just contacted you guys on messenger. I think I’d need something a little bigger, and I want to be a bit deeper than 4 feet. Closer to 6.
They are nice.
Would these work, in 6 feet below grade water table with bitumastic water proofing?
I would like one of these just for a below ground diesel generator pod.
always been curious what the total costs are for these type of things delivered and fully installed.
Probably similar to the cost of the bunker
It varies based on location. That is why the website says call for pricing
Would precast utility vaults be a good substitute due to local availability?
I don’t mean to take business away from Ron but cross border freight for custom precast concrete would be prohibitively arduous.
I’d still need all the items you’ve shown stocked in yours plus a light that mimics daylight. Yours looks really nice and cozy with natural light coming in the hatch.
Sounds like it won’t be more than $23k after delivery anywhere in the lower 48. $28k now, being that this was months ago, and I’m sure they’re no longer doing a discount for pre orders. Installation probable won’t be cheap. I dunno. I think it’s too small for my liking. If it were 1.5 times the size, I think I could do that. This seemed cramped without the compost toilet and the nbc air filtration system.
Hello Atlas survival shelter. It's your friend Ted from San Antonio Texas. Pretty cool idea man. Good luck with it. One day we shall meet
Thanks, you too!
How much you charge to go deeper into the play do you charge per feet?
As old as I am, I would have trouble getting up and down the ladder for younger people. I’m sure it’s fine.
Our safe cellar has stairs.
You can get a winch from Home Depot and make yourself an elevator. But you’d need the bunker under a building so you’d have a place to mount the winch.
But you’d have to throw the hook out and step up to close the hatch.
@@jonsmitt9769 😂😂😂😂
Is it just as strong as the big boy or square bunkers?
Love this bunker. Actually wanted it over the one I’m going to have to go with. The price is right, the shipping quote from Ron is reasonable; however, having to become my own contractor to get it installed is not. Have to excavate and have to get a licensed crane lined up. All can be done; however, if your thinking this 18000lb. shelter was going to be the drop-in solution in most already complete developments, it won’t. I luckily have access to my back yard through my willing neighbor’s horse pasture but the distance for the lift is still too long for most cranes and would get stuck according to that professional and there’s no way the driveway or neighborhood allows for what’s needed to come through the front either. This is still a solution you’d better bake into a new build before anything else because it’s not gonna happen easily or at all in most finished locations, unfortunately. Otherwise, Ron was available and willing to answer questions. Really wish this one could have worked out for my needs, but I’m unfortunately only going to be prepared for tornadoes, which was not my full checklist.
Does not protect against fallout or radiation ?
I’m in Louisiana are water table is it like 2 feet? Would this be able to be buried in my area?
how much soil above for these to be nuclear, biological, or chemical safe, and also do they come with a 90-degree turn to attenuate gamma radiation and gas gas-tight door as mentioned in a previous clip
Also, is this a monolithic pour, or is there a cold joint? Thx
Cold joint at the floor
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters so is the floor poured on site?
If it is, then it's possible to add more levels right?
Can these be used in high water tables?
Yes
How do you get started on building a bunker building business I wish someone would help me build a bunker business.
God bless America!
My appreciate from all ukrainians. Thank USA❤❤❤
How does it perform with a high water table?
If you can get it in the ground and the entrance water proofed it’s ok.
What wind speed is it rated for? How about cat 5 🌀. I've lived thru Ian last year😐
This is meant to be underground, wind speed on the surface is irrelevant.
How do you know how high the water table is in your area?
Ask a well driller or do a test hole
Are you planning on building something over it?
What kind of protection will it provide from radiation?
And how thick is the roof?
The concrete wall is 4" thick, and the walls curve together at the top, so I'd assume 4" thick. If this is buried below your house and it has an NBC air intake the way he does on most bunkers you should expect to be safe from fallout, at least if the hatch is shut. Remember though this is a very short term shelter, it isn't designed for you to spend months and months inside it, so if you are in an area with severe fallout (let's say you live in Norfolk Virginia for example, as that area will definitely be hit by nukes, possible multiple nukes, in the event of a total nuclear war), you will eventually run out of water in the shelter and either die of dehydration inside or die from radiation poisoning when you leave.
@@user-tz5uq2bt1s why would it be hit??
@@samuelwurster2899 The massive naval base in Norfolk would be a prime target.
@@user-tz5uq2bt1s after 2 weeks rad levels drop 90%
@@samuelwurster2899 All major cities regardless of what's there get 2 nukes, more if need be.
what about above ground hurricane shelters?
Bomb Shack baby
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters link please
I want to buy one for my mom ❤
Playing fallout 4 feels like a good game for the times played the division 2 during COVID 😏
Will these be in the UK and could we get 2 joined together.
UK will get molds too
Is the 8' deep one more expensive?
Yes
Does 20k include installation?
No, local installation varies but is $3-$4K more.
Can this be used in SW Florida?
Considering the water table in FL.... not likely.
Of course the 20,000 does not include installation. Does anybody know approximately how much it would cost to install
Probably as much as a septic tank.
@@jonsmitt9769 It will be a lot more than that, because you will be going a lots deeper than that, and this thing is way bigger than any septic tank.
If you put this 20 feet down, you would have to excavate 20 feet down.
He said you hire a local septic company and install cost would be $3K-$4K.
Also Transportation cost to let's say. Washington State.?
Two per truck costs an extra $3000 per for freight
Do you do payment plans or cash at sale?
Yes financing is available
why did you change the catalog to call for pricing
Price of steel quadrupled
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters gotcha makes sense.
Have you thought about an industrial 3d printer , like they've started using for 3d printed homes , to make larger concrete shelters ?
Lol I have a average of paycheck to almost the next paycheck 😂
Hey Ron I reached out a few weeks ago. Please get back at me
Call it in please. Check on the list. 1-855-4-bunker
Shelters would be better with a staircase easier to get in and out of
ladder is not that bad, every cubic foot adds cost
@Dread Roberts It matters if you're trying to bring young sick injured individual's or even equipment
I was thinking the same thing. Having a staircase on a pully system that can be raised up flush to the ceiling when everyone is inside, and let back down when needed to move people in and out. That would be a NICE "UPGRADE" to a ladder, and safer too for older and very young people.
I'm I. West Virginia Maria is my name
Call it in
If you can make one for £10,000 all in I could buy one. Footprint and interior height to bare minimum would be fine
It would cost you more then 10 times that just to get it to the UK lol
How do you get away with installing a shelter in a city and not have to get construction permits?
Dont tell anyone and have cool neighbors
Call it a storm shelter. Get info on what’s allowed.
Is this Bunker Chemical & Biological Weapons Proof
Design something that can last weeks and weeks because of the hard target areas. This thing wouldn't help in those areas.
Yeah 5 people would last long in that thing. It needs to be 3 times that length with 2 hatches.
Then you bury a plastic water tank right next to it and tie in a water tap to the shelter, then you got say 500 to even 1000 gallons of water. Now you could hold up in there a long time.
But as is I see this as a 2 person bunker for maybe a month at best.
using a Water tight hatch, and Filling the entrance tube with stored water would be a great way to better attenuate gamma radiation. on the cheap.
Maybe cheaper then an long 'L' shaped entrance. and far easier as an after market upgrade.
extra tid bit for others:
(there is a phenomenon where if a thin door shields too much that it can increase the rad inside, where a less shielded door will allow it to exit and not reflect back inward. )
Fill the entrance tube with water? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Don't you mean fill the entrance walls? Also, the door thickness helps deter radiation, but I would imagine it's more about security. Regardless of the radiation, a thin sheet metal hatch will do you no good against Intruders or other outside threats.
In addition, if the entrance tube is subpar because it's not filled with water, then I would think that would negate your observation that the entrance hatch can trap radiation. What might be worse, is an entrance tube that has walls filled with water, and either one of the hatches. That thick hatch will surely trap the radiation since it cannot escape through the walls, and the thin hatch will provide zero security.
Can double as a German oven by the looks of it 😅 probably came to mind by watching WW2 docs lately 😮In Canada you’ll need 12 foot depth so bears don’t dig you up 😊
I wouldn't even fool with it if it wasn't at least 20 feet to top of that form.
I hope your bunkers can keep people alive for when the poles shift. I think you should build a big bunker for thousands of people animals and plants to live inside together. We need bunkers that you can put animals and plants inside because people wont live long inside if the air gets bad. I wish someone like you would build a big bunker for us all to live in but build more then one big one so the human race has a better chance of surviving inside multiple bunkers.
Yeah after watching some of these videos I'm pretty positive that most of us, including me, are just going to die because I can barely afford my mortgage let alone a $20,000 bunker
I'm sure he will when someone decides they want to pay for it...
First
For the rich only, poor's need not apply
This is the poor man’s shelter with a good nbc air system
what he is offering is very very good price and value per dollar. The best and cheapest first step is knowledge, so have a plan.
I love your content but the fact that you think the average person can even afford 20k is comical
Average home owner can
i cant do $20k liquid. But a $20k personal loan is far far more likely then a $100k
A quality swiss nbc filter system is quite pricey and its included.
The AVERAGE new vehicle price in America is now over $48,008 in March 2023.
The AVERAGE house price in America in Q1 2023 is $436,800.
It's comical to think the average person can't finance this via a credit card or small loan like they do a car or house which is 2.5x-23x more.
It's called priorities and what do you value in life.
@B O Your delusional implying someone is gonna afford a bunker over a car. You need a car for everyday use work kids to school etc. So the average person is going to choose to finance a car all day long. The average person is not going to choose a bunker/storm shelter. Also i dont know where you live but the average home price in my area is not 430k lol. Not everyone lives in liberal run over priced shit holes 🤣 good luck with that little buddy. Thats probably why you need to finance a bunker.
