@@cplcabs culvert steel is waterproof, it's not watertight and it only needs to be if it's submerged which doesn't happen because of rain unless it is an active flood or you bury it below the water table.

@MENTAL why are shelters having the doors opening outward and not inward it would seem like you can get trapped inside. if i could open the door inward i can use a saw to work my way free
I'm in my late 70s. Remember in the 1950s and 60s, the really rich folks where building private fall out shelters. Never thought I'd live to see it happen again. Its kind of sad really.
@@HappyQuailsLC I don't think there is a complete solution for anything not even breathing in 5 minutes in the future and they aren't saying that either, he said fantasy!
In a former life I worked for TCEQ, reviewing air pollution permit applications. I remember attending a meeting with an individual whose company made such shelters, and it may have been the person in the video. What I remember most from the meeting was a discussion of the relative cost of building them in Mexico as compared to doing all the work in Texas. Apparently Texas got the nod, which as I recall was the company's preference. I'm glad the company has been so successful !!!
They might be successful which is great buuut, their not the leading shelter makers in the world, Sweden owns the crown for that. We have over 650,00 shelters and prob way more that even, their mainly produced locally due to secrecy and red tape.
One fatal mistake? When the real bio or chemical warfare on the test. Anyway, for the same price it's an improvement from a finished basement of a new built home.
I operated track hoes dozers digging ditches basements etc for 40 years I'm looking at the quality of the ditch and the area that was dug out to put these containers in. Very good work
A cool adapter to add to the air filtration system for manual use/need, would be a stationary bike set up. Help keep you in shape while you cycle the air. So " Cycle the Air, by Cycling " 😆
I laughed my ass off at the end. We put concrete around it so if someone is trying to dig ya up they can't get to it... there are 2 air intakes right there. All you have to do is plug those and the people inside will have no choice but to come up
Yeah, if I want you out of the shelter, you are coming out. It is more probable that society will collapse before there is a nuclear war, so an underground bomb shelter is the last place you want to be.
@@amorag59 Bombs, Plagues, Natural Disasters, Government collapse, etc. The list of reasons to have one of these things is getting longer everyday. I think he markets them with bombs in mind as it doesn't really get much worse than that.
modern problem is wildfires, sea level rising, flood, air pollution, locust, etc 🤣 reason for bombs is only trump... just put trump in bunkers for preventing nuclear and bomb attacks
Came here to this video after seeing somebody who bought one of these shelters complaining that groundwater was leaking into it and telling people not to buy them but after watching this video it was his fault, should have went with the watertight version because any regular corrugated Culvert is expected to have small leaks in the joints and with groundwater will completely rot out within 20 years especially just sitting corroding. The well that half-inch steel shelter is amazing and will last forever. We remove underground oil tanks some of them being 50 years old and not leaking even with groundwater and those things are not even a quarter inch thick
@Dark horse dude you are wrong, I don’t really like this guy but his bunkers are built well and under concrete and earth so they would survive a blast unless the nuke was right on top of the bunker
@Dark horse what do you mean??? Your not an engineer if you think that, he welds everything and it’s 1/4 inches thick and the square ones are reinforced with steel beams then they are buried under concrete and dirt🤦♂️🤦♂️
Did you ever consider creating simulated windows with simulated outdoor scenes so a person does not go crazy from being stuck in the bunker for a long period of time? The outdoor scenes could be managed from a laptop and maybe you could put some sound effects of nature, someone mowing the grass, birds, in the autumn show the leaves changing colors. I am a psychiatric nurse and I would imagine building these psychological stress combat initiatives could help people feel a sense of comfort instead of feeling like they are entombed and it may help multiple people in the bunker together be able to cohabitate without getting on each other's nerves.
I feel like a fake outdoor scene might lead to psychosis though kinda like seeing water in the desert hallucinations. Personal preference in my opinion. I do know that parallel ray light sources especially with a high color rendering index will help mood.(plus a soap water light filter to really sell the sunlight look) There are also ways to reuse old computer monitors to create a faux cloudy day window light.
It is not good work. The carbon filter inside the bunker will fill with radioactive particles and the gamma rays will just go through it. And the stairs at the underground door entry will allow fallout to fall in front of the door, if the hatch on top is not closed or damaged. Thus the people inside will die of gamma radiation too. It's fine to survive a tornado, but it's very bad design if you want survive a nuclear war.
@Will Smith That's wrong. You should educate and inform yourself. It's possible to survive in a world after nuclear bombs were dropped. If you survive the detonations and live in a bunker for about 3-4 weeks you have a rather good chance to live many years after it on the outside. Only cancer rate will be a little bit higher, but it's still possible to live. Most of the radiation will decay in the first 2 weeks. If you don't have a bunker, your chances are much smaller and the ways to die is much worse.
Lmao! Preppers are so very funny 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 If anything happens The rest of us are just going to poison the air vents 🤣. Listen prepper people try making the world a better place, more peaceful, and look after the environment. Stop wasting your money dumbo’s.
Ideal for surviving a bushfire or cyclone, or the freak thunderstorms we have nowadays with tennis ball size hail as standard. As for nuclear war, don’t think I’d want to survive that anyway!
You wouldn't anyway. People that think a shelter like this is going to save them from nuclear war are like the people that freeze themselves thinking they will later be revived. Neither will work. They really need to do some research on what the climate models say. However much food you have is however long you will live, and that's assuming radiation doesn't get you first, or that the bomb isn't exploded nearby, which will vaporize this container. For those other things a basement will work fine, as will this.
nuclear war is very survivable, glassing the planet/nuclear winter are not founded in science, there just arent enough nukes, the nukes aremt big enough, and only a fraction of the world's nukes can be launched at a time.

@@___Chris___ then the jokes on you buddy for being too dumb to realise the benefits of these things aside from lower cost and warming and heating and better security and privacy with an uncertain future these things have become big business
@@mr0-fukspoliticallyincorre247 The condescending "buddy" aside: That was a dishonest answer, because almost nobody is living in those things. They're usually added to a main house = EXTRA costs = nothing is saved for "warming and heating" (you probably meant COOLING and heating) and the "big business" is the money you lose. "Privacy" = euphemism for "no windows" and claustrophobia. "Security" is make-belief as long as the valuables and the people are in the main house and nobody is ever living in that cave when there's _no_ apocalypse. Maybe you should just admit that you're fishing for arguments to justify such bunkers only because they're cool and there's some money left to burn. Nothing wrong with that. But then admit that these are only the arguments you tell your wife. If you want a get-away in case of a war, a live-aboard catamaran would probably be the superior solution, because for all that extra money it still has a lot of extra use, even when there's no 'apocalypse' and if there should ever be a war or nuclear attack at least you'd have the possibility to escape the problem (and radiation) to a world region that's not affected. Regarding that "uncertain future": if we're talking USA and the political division of the country, then (without quoting any studies here) many among those preppers are rather part of the problem than the solution; you'd likely find disproportionately more political extremists among them. Solving that political division instead would be the smarter approach. Cheaper, too. I'm saying that as somebody who lives in a save and less paranoid country, outside the USA, with no such division and no serious political enemies.

Mine and others can have roof adjustable windows if we so choose and did it ever occur to you that some people not only have a bunker but a flat or something on top as well, garage for example - and mine is not claustrophobic - it is wider than a New York small apartment see when you just make narrow minded assumptions that people have a certain set in make as opposed to various designs with ad ons and a lack various motives for building these it really shows how narrow minded you truly are But if you want to believe that you alone are right in everything with assumptions and generalisations Go right ahead - cause frankly - you are beneath me and my achievements by not being narrow minded Good Day and dont bother replying I'm really not interested

I don’t know what is correct, but a number of experts say that if you are in a sealed interior room and stay there for a week or two with enough food and water, you miss 99% of the fallout from even a nuclear bomb. Obviously it depends on how far you are from ground zero, and it doesn’t work well if you and the house are obliterated.
I really LOL’d. My neighbor with a gigantic 1988 sized satellite dish in his backyard had one of these put in. The cool thing is, his backyard isn’t very deep or wide, so he walks out his patio door, to the steps down to his bunker. I decided while we lived there to be nice to him, never know when you might need one! *edit* we live in north Texas and it took 3-4 days of jackhammering with a backhoe to get thru the bedrock.

Well it's a cool product. It's an insurance policy that in case of a nuclear war, you and your family buy yourselves at least several weeks or months, potentially more.
My neighbors father built a concrete culvert bunker, in the 60s. Sealed the ends and a hatch at the top with a ladder. Water table is 3 feet here. It’s been dry for 60 years. S Fl. It’s not far down, but it is concrete with a 6 inch reinforced concrete pad that’s the floor of the garage over it. The hatch comes up in a room 4 feet over grade with a gasket seal. I was in it once. Tight and solid. Concrete culvert is cheap. Has the old Civil Defense hand cranked air purifier, a few hand pumped bilge pumps. I ever do one that’s the way I’m going
If the time ever comes when one of these bunkers are actually needed, I hope whatever the apocalypse is just goes ahead and take me out. I remember as a kid in the 60's having nuclear bomb drills while in school. One day we went on a field trip to a nuclear fallout shelter and even way back then I remember thinking "No Thanks". However, I certainly see the positive side of having one of these as a Tornado Shelter to use short term.
The nuclear winter that follows the initial attack will last decades and depending on the weapons the radiation fallout could last hundreds of years. So at best it'll give you hope for just a little while, till the food runs out or radiation permeates the bunker. What's the chances these dooms dayers also squirrel away pressurized radiation suits for each resident? I got news for ya. Unless there's a layer of lead btw the source and you radiation will eventually contaminate steel and concrete.
Here a real question.If tornado destroys million drywall houses every year,then why drywall houses aren't build underground,or under the dome? And by the way,this opsesive 'shelter buying' won't help anyone when nukes or inflation hits USA.Becouse you are gonna end up dead anyway,either from the armed post crash conflicts,or the nuclear blast.That is if yellowstone volcano and earthquake don't finish you first,eh partner.
Activated carbon isn't going to be eaten by wasps or any other insects nor rodents for that matter. A large such filter would last longer than you are likely to be able to stay in your bunker, anyway. If you need to stay down for more than a month, there won't be much of a world for you to live in up top in any case.
@@everettlwilliamsii3740 While rodents may not *consume* the charcoal, if they can get to it, that won't stop them from chewing on it if all other food sources run out. The little bastards'll chew on live Romex until they contact with the positive side. On the subject of duration, length of stay depends on the lingering "nuclear winter". And that ain't gonna be no seasonal event. The atmosphere might wash itself clean after a while but wherever that radioactive fallout settles will be toxic for A LOT longer. So, no, there won't be diddley up top of any use.
Love this guy ... "A bomb shelter is not as simple as making a box and burying it in the ground ... That is not a bomb shelter, that's just probably your GRAVE."
Growing up in an area with lots of tornadoes, we had what my mother called the “storm house”. It was just a cave dug into a hillside near our home. There were a couple of benches and some candles and matches. We had it because in the 1930’s a tornado struck our town and killed more than 200 people.
@@maxcorder2211 oh ok, I was confused because from the 1930s to 2022 is 92 years but now I understand you mean it happend so then you guys got the shelter.
I grew up in Russia. We had these everywhere. God forbid anyone ever has to use one. No matter how well you design and build one, you just can't make to protect you from every possible scenario that can happen. Let's hope we never have to use these.
I can't wait for WW3. After the nuclear stuff, the remaining survivors will be able to act like animals and have a good time. I hope I'm one of them. I'll be coming to somebody's bunker.
Actually, :”The Head” is a Navy term that dates back to the days of the old wooden clipper ships, which had no facilities at all. When you went to “The Head Figure” at the front of the ship, which had netting under it, is where you climbed out and did your business.
@Rainbow Capone - I also didn't like the idea of an impossible-to-muscle door without a manual option. Machines break. Often, from just sitting there. Every machine-operated thing--Especially something as important as an only-entrance door--Needs a manual, auxilliary method.
Right, closes it by hand. As for the break downs, something like this you would have a back up power source (deep cycle batteries) so you would want to do semi annual inspections at minimum, shocks/batteries/rotate food and water storage, anything else that could have a shelf life. Probably the same schedule you clean gutters, Shocks won't just fail that one time you need to use it. However with the door on it, it's obviously not lifting anything over 500lbs on top of it. A secondary egress or workable communication would be important.
love this. united states army veteran, this is right up my alley. still 20 minutes to go though, gotta make a store run then im right back.i'll edit this at the end or if i have more to say as i watch.
One thing i'm not getting is how that exit hatch is supposed to be able to "raise 16.000 pounds and lift a car like it wasn't even there". (21:55) All I see are those 4 little compression cylinders, which were selected to balance out the hatch's weight. Is there some kind of secondary hydrolic ram with a compressor they're not showing?
I remember watching videos like this thinking to myself when would you ever need something like this. Now the year 2021. I'm thinking about buying one myself.
One of the most crucial things often overlooked in bunkers...is ceiling height. A low ceiling over your head that almost touches your head helps increase cabin fever much faster than a ceiling that's 10-12 feet above the floor.
@@18despues They usually don't have to. Radiation from Fallout degrades quickly. Radiation levels can fall to relatively safer levels after about 48 hours. So if you can shelter in place for two days, you could likely leave and seek rescue should Search and Rescue be looking for survivors. I'd have a couple suits to shield from radiation and some iodine tablets to protect the thyroid gland from radiation. I'd rather have a bunker to shelter in after a nuclear detonation that to hope the basement of a house will do the trick. NYC even had a PSA recently to educated New Yorkers where suitable shelter can be found. Centers of buildings away from windows, preferably concrete buildings. Cloths, especially if it's covered in dust, should be removed as it could be contaminated with radioactive fallout.
the filters last far longer than the 2 weeks you need to be underground. Any radiation within the unit would have the same half life as the outside environment
Radioactivity isn't that dangerous as long as you contain the particles. So something like making it wet while changing and putting it in a bag would probably be enough protection. Problem is radioactive particles getting into your lungs or food or drinking it. The radiation it gives off won't be that dangerous for short exposures.
@@user-wc1em7pc2p After 2 weeks the half life insures you will likely survive most radioactive fallout. its not as big of a deal as many movies mislead people.

If I had one of these, I would get folding step stairs with a lever. So you can fold the steps into the stairs and it becomes a slide. That way you can get down there very quickly. And if you need to step back up, you pull the lever on the bottom to turn it back to steps. There would also one or two hand rails on the side of the stairway in case the lever stops working or if you lose balance.
I imagine , sliding down on a long tube speeding you need to address the broken legs problem after too ! It’s a great idea as a deterrent to invasion :p
I like this idea. You could also use it to slide your supplies down them much more easily than carrying heavy, bulky things down a relatively narrow, steep, and unforgiving stairway.
Pretty sure the navy actually has this on some ships, you can pull out the stairs and flip them around to make a ramp, but they use the ramp to slide supplies - not people.
This guy who owns this company, actually talks about this. He is pretty much as open about surviving this kind of stuff as anyone I have seen. His goal is to create ways for everyone to have something for protection. Check his website out.
In the event of nuclear war I can guarantee you that, sooner or later, you would have uninvited visitors if your house has a basement. If not for protection then for food or other necessities.
@@uncomonsense in the event of nuclear war after no more than 2 months in the protective shelter, you will need to move to escape nuclear contamination zone. But if you are outside the zone of contamination, you do not need a bunker.
How long does the carbon filter in the air filtration system last before it have to be changed? Also can you buy two and have them connected/welded together to extend your underground living space? So that if you have a two family situation that require their own bunker living space for privacy but want to be able to stay together underground.
If its one thing the lockdown has taught me is I can't last a day indoors let alone underground in a bunker. I find them fascinating and love watching video's about them but would rather die of radiation sickness than be stuck in one of these.
I watched afew movies where people were stuck in crates or in caves underground and ever since....no way ....I can't stand even watching it on tv or anything. I always thought a storm shelter would be a good thing, but it might be better above ground. Somehow.

Does the air circulation system have a CO2 sensor hooked up to it so that when CO2 builds up it'll automatically activate, and you just can use the manual activation switch and the crank as manual overrides in case that breaks or otherwise malfunctions? It'd also be nice to have a switch in the decon room to activate the circulation system so that one could cycle the air without going into the bunker, just in case something contaminated the air inside the bunker while you were out, or if you had someone back at the bunker who wasn't responding, which may indicate having slept through an alarm and being unconscious due to CO2 buildup. I think it'd also be nice to have some form of water catchment, a SMALL woodstove (don't need much of one for such a small space, but it'd be nice in the winter months to be able to bring the temperature higher than 55 degrees) and the option for like, a large bathtub. Can't forget that with a properly constructed and stocked shelter your sanity will be the first thing to go, so getting some creature comforts set up would be a good idea. Probably also a good idea to get a sun-lamp too so you can avoid vitamin D deficiency. IDK if any of these are things you've addressed with your previous builds or anything, but they're things I've thought about.
I know the comment is quite old, but for the CO2 situation, it would be substantially cheaper and less of a hassle to just print out a formula for number of people in the specific bunker model and how often the air needs to be circulated, then input a timer onto the system or have people manually activate it at a certain interval, more economical and gives you something to do.
Eat the right foods and you won't have a vitamin D deficiency. Creature comforts? well a book case and a DVD player would go a long way...and a small electric generator of course. suspect they've already thought of that. But if you haven't got a strong room full of cash, just a small area where you can ride out the first blasts would be good - in the UK we don't go in for bunkers like the Swiss or the Swedes do, so our official government nuclear war survival advice was to lie a couple of doors across the space under the stairs, and wait there for 2 weeks...gimme a cheap little basement bunker any day...

Only flaw I see is with the exit doors swinging outward, someone or something could block the doors from opening preventing me from getting out eventually turning the bunker into a grave. Doors should swing inward so you could clear any obstruction blocking exit. Maybe an escape hatch is called for?? Thanks for the Vids! :)
Ok so anyone think of UV lights?? For the vitamin K that we need in our bodies to be healthy? or 4 possibly hydroponically growing food at some point with new LED lighting and no need for soil? I think that would be a good and necessary idea to incorporate into you're prepping plans? I'm not sure how long the human body can survive without the necessary nutrients it gets from small amounts of sun exposure. but one can assume if radiation and whatnot can't get through the bunker walls then whatever things that you need from the great ball of fire in the sky you def won't be getting!
@@violetvioletviolet1 You know some countries have 6 months of complete darkness every year. The body can survive plenty long without sun. Deficiency takes a long time. I'd be more concerned about the availability of drinking water than the sunlight. Besides you can take vitamin supplement.

@@violetvioletviolet1 vitamin k doesn’t come from the sun, vitamin D does. There are D supplements. Vitamin K1 is primarily from plants, especially leafy green vegetables.

One exception to the latter is nattō, which is made from bacteria-fermented soybeans. It is a rich food source of vitamin K2 variant MK-7, made by the bacteria.

I could see getting one of these for use as a storm shelter in Tornado Alley, but as a long-term living solution, well, people get cabin fever merely living above ground from a week or two of bad weather. Apply that feeling to what it would be like living underground after a couple of weeks and let your imagination fill in the blanks.
Atlas is hands down a top notch quality builder. There are some out there that so cheaply made and have filled with water and rotted away in a short period of time & have actually killed the occupants!!! You can be rest assured you’ll be safe and sound inside an Atlas built shelter/bunker. They also have a variety of different modes and options. First class products 💯
I may've seen two ways that an outsider could trap the inhabitiants inside, though. the door handle that can fit a chain in it may be a hazard - depending on where it is and putting two doors that open outwards close to each other means someone could put a log or a 2x4 between the two so that neither could be opened. people fearoutsiders *opening* the door, but someone angry about not being let in could punish inhabitants by making sure they could never get out.

Many factors to consider when designing a bunker, especially when it comes to its interior layout, ventilation, lighting, and sustainability. First and foremost, the layout of the bunker should be efficient and practical. This is especially true for the kitchen area, where you want to make sure there's enough space to move around and prepare food without obstacles. If the current layout isn't working, consider consulting with an interior designer to help you come up with a better design that meets your needs. Another important consideration is ventilation. Since bunkers are typically underground, there's a risk of excess humidity building up, which can lead to mold and other issues. To combat this, it's important to have proper ventilation and air circulation to keep the air fresh and healthy. This is especially important when it comes to the materials used in the bunker, as some products can release moisture or toxins into the air. Speaking of materials, it's also important to consider the sustainability of your bunker. Ideally, you want to use materials that are low-emission and environmentally friendly. This not only helps keep the air clean and healthy, but also reduces your impact on the planet. Another key consideration is lighting. Since bunkers are often underground, there's a lack of natural light, which can disrupt our body's natural rhythms. To combat this, it's important to incorporate artificial lighting that mimics natural light as much as possible. Additionally, incorporating red lighting can help regulate our body's natural clock and improve our sleep quality. When it comes to sustainability, it's also important to consider water and waste management. Incorporating a hydroponic or aquaponic system can help provide fresh produce, while also helping to purify the air and water. Additionally, having a recycling system in place can help reduce waste and make your bunker more self-sufficient. Of course, these are just a few of the many factors to consider when designing a bunker. Ultimately, it's important to consult with experts and do your research to ensure that your bunker meets your needs and is as sustainable and healthy as possible.
that is the type of cynical worldview that will keep you alive when the shtf hehehe , remember the most important thing for surviving a zombie apocalypse CARDIO
The correct model I'm working on are 3 or 4 families in connected pods with common areas. You need a group of people for such a multi-year event. To rely on others' talents. The luxury "billionaire bunkers" are actually death traps. Nothing on that scale can last very long. VIVOS advertises one year and that's it. TOBA had years of at least minus 60F.
A nuclear attack is not a 'multi-year event'. At most, you're sheltering for a month while you wait for fallout to settle at which point you and your family proceed to evacuate to a safe location. I can't think of any type of attack that would necessitate being in a bunker for any more than 6 continuous months until it is safe to evacuate.
People who think they have to live for hundreds of years inside a nuclear bunker get it all wrong. 2-3 weeks is enough, then most of the particles with a short half-life will be decayed and the radiation on the surface will be acceptable. The chance of getting cancer might be increased, but you will be able to live several years on the surface. Thus a good nuclear bunker has to fulfill 3 roles. 1. It must protect you from thermal heat. 2. it must protect you from overpressure 3. It must protect you for about 2-3 weeks from radiation. And the chances to survive a nuclear attack are much higher in such a bunker than on the surface if the distance to ground zero is large enough. If the nuclear detonation is to close, no bunker will help you.
@@shadowtheimpure maybe an anthrax attack or a botulism toxin (yes botox, it was a nazi superweapon b4 companies figured other uses for it) could cause a near perpetual need to live underground.
I'd like to redirect you to 20:00 mark. "This is a 6" galvanized air pipe so it's never going to rust" Obviously this guy hasn't seen what the coastal regions in Texas can do to galvanized steel (rusty in less than 36 months). I called, quoted him and he denied saying it. Blamed the editing of the production team. Really dude?
Under normal conditions, that pipe won't rust. I imagine that he doesn't install very many of these in coastal areas or he'd likely have said that differently.
I was thinking this way. You build a house. Then you build a bunker. You live in your house while the bunker is there essentially unoccupied. But if you built a bunker that is also your house, you would save some resources. Certainly you would design and build that bunker somehow different so it would be a comfortable house.
One little question: If the air filter takes out the radiation dust, it then sits in the filter right? The filter housing is inside the bunker. The steel filter box is not like a thick wall of concrete. So is the radiation not entering the bunker anyway?
This whole video I was shaking my head thinking “this is a hobby bunker”. Great maybe for a short term safe room, but not for a place you would have to live in for any length of time and certainly not a biological war shelter.

@@davenz000 quite, but then when it rains, water drains into the soil and thus onto the bunker. So to that end, all bunkers should be waterproof.

Came here to this video after seeing somebody who bought one of these shelters complaining that groundwater was leaking into it and telling people not to buy them but after watching this video it was his fault, should have went with the watertight version because any regular corrugated Culvert is expected to have small leaks in the joints and with groundwater will completely rot out within 20 years especially just sitting corroding.

Guy is genius getting rich off peoples fear.
Did you ever consider creating simulated windows with simulated outdoor scenes so a person does not go crazy from being stuck in the bunker for a long period of time? The outdoor scenes could be managed from a laptop and maybe you could put some sound effects of nature, someone mowing the grass, birds, in the autumn show the leaves changing colors. I am a psychiatric nurse and I would imagine building these psychological stress combat initiatives could help people feel a sense of comfort instead of feeling like they are entombed and it may help multiple people in the bunker together be able to cohabitate without getting on each other's nerves.
I feel like a fake outdoor scene might lead to psychosis though kinda like seeing water in the desert hallucinations. Personal preference in my opinion.
I do know that parallel ray light sources especially with a high color rendering index will help mood.(plus a soap water light filter to really sell the sunlight look) There are also ways to reuse old computer monitors to create a faux cloudy day window light.
Really great idea!
Great idea
I saw a bunker that had screens for fake windows that were hooked up to cameras outside so it looked like you were just in a house.
Just make underground garden rooms with real plants growing
Man you can tell this guy has a lot of passion for what he’s doing!! keep up the good work:)
It is not good work.
The carbon filter inside the bunker will fill with radioactive particles and the gamma rays will just go through it.
And the stairs at the underground door entry will allow fallout to fall in front of the door, if the hatch on top is not closed or damaged. Thus the people inside will die of gamma radiation too.
It's fine to survive a tornado, but it's very bad design if you want survive a nuclear war.
I would to if I was getting rich of people's stupidity! lol
@Will Smith That's wrong. You should educate and inform yourself. It's possible to survive in a world after nuclear bombs were dropped. If you survive the detonations and live in a bunker for about 3-4 weeks you have a rather good chance to live many years after it on the outside. Only cancer rate will be a little bit higher, but it's still possible to live. Most of the radiation will decay in the first 2 weeks.
If you don't have a bunker, your chances are much smaller and the ways to die is much worse.

You wouldn't anyway. People that think a shelter like this is going to save them from nuclear war are like the people that freeze themselves thinking they will later be revived. Neither will work. They really need to do some research on what the climate models say. However much food you have is however long you will live, and that's assuming radiation doesn't get you first, or that the bomb isn't exploded nearby, which will vaporize this container.
For those other things a basement will work fine, as will this.

@@___Chris___ then the jokes on you buddy
for being too dumb to realise the benefits of these things aside from lower cost and warming and heating and better security and privacy
with an uncertain future these things have become big business
@@mr0-fukspoliticallyincorre247 The condescending "buddy" aside: That was a dishonest answer, because almost nobody is living in those things. They're usually added to a main house = EXTRA costs = nothing is saved for "warming and heating" (you probably meant COOLING and heating) and the "big business" is the money you lose. "Privacy" = euphemism for "no windows" and claustrophobia. "Security" is make-belief as long as the valuables and the people are in the main house and nobody is ever living in that cave when there's _no_ apocalypse. Maybe you should just admit that you're fishing for arguments to justify such bunkers only because they're cool and there's some money left to burn. Nothing wrong with that. But then admit that these are only the arguments you tell your wife.
If you want a get-away in case of a war, a live-aboard catamaran would probably be the superior solution, because for all that extra money it still has a lot of extra use, even when there's no 'apocalypse' and if there should ever be a war or nuclear attack at least you'd have the possibility to escape the problem (and radiation) to a world region that's not affected.
Regarding that "uncertain future": if we're talking USA and the political division of the country, then (without quoting any studies here) many among those preppers are rather part of the problem than the solution; you'd likely find disproportionately more political extremists among them. Solving that political division instead would be the smarter approach. Cheaper, too.

theres no shit that areas of europe or USA have here
I'm more secure against bushfiresand cyclones and obviously no one is with any common sense going to make one on an area on a flood plain or downhill unless they can financially afford to secure it well

Mine and others can have roof adjustable windows if we so choose and did it ever occur to you that some people not only have a bunker but a flat or something on top as well, garage for example - and mine is not claustrophobic - it is wider than a New York small apartment
see when you just make narrow minded assumptions that people have a certain set in make as opposed to various designs with ad ons and a lack various motives for building these

If the time ever comes when one of these bunkers are actually needed, I hope whatever the apocalypse is just goes ahead and take me out.

However, I certainly see the positive side of having one of these as a Tornado Shelter to use short term.
I’m pushing 70 years old. I’m like you. Just take me out right off the bat. I’d be ok with that.
The nuclear winter that follows the initial attack will last decades and depending on the weapons the radiation fallout could last hundreds of years. So at best it'll give you hope for just a little while, till the food runs out or radiation permeates the bunker. What's the chances these dooms dayers also squirrel away pressurized radiation suits for each resident? I got news for ya. Unless there's a layer of lead btw the source and you radiation will eventually contaminate steel and concrete.

Activated carbon isn't going to be eaten by wasps or any other insects nor rodents for that matter. A large such filter would last longer than you are likely to be able to stay in your bunker, anyway. If you need to stay down for more than a month, there won't be much of a world for you to live in up top in any case.
@@everettlwilliamsii3740 While rodents may not *consume* the charcoal, if they can get to it, that won't stop them from chewing on it if all other food sources run out. The little bastards'll chew on live Romex until they contact with the positive side.
On the subject of duration, length of stay depends on the lingering "nuclear winter". And that ain't gonna be no seasonal event. The atmosphere might wash itself clean after a while but wherever that radioactive fallout settles will be toxic for A LOT longer.
So, no, there won't be diddley up top of any use.

Growing up in an area with lots of tornadoes, we had what my mother called the “storm house”. It was just a cave dug into a hillside near our home. There were a couple of benches and some candles and matches. We had it because in the 1930’s a tornado struck our town and killed more than 200 people.

Consider you might have to be down there for months without going outside. Then that tree camo might just help you out a little bit
Rebecca Freeman: Trust me it’s not there to camouflage anything, it’s a decorative thing. I have camo curtains and bed sheets/pillow cases.
Not gonna lie I wish I could afford one. Even if it wasn't such a crazy time, would just be really cool to have a secret bunker.
I grew up in Russia. We had these everywhere. God forbid anyone ever has to use one. No matter how well you design and build one, you just can't make to protect you from every possible scenario that can happen. Let's hope we never have to use these.

Actually, :”The Head” is a Navy term that dates back to the days of the old wooden clipper ships, which had no facilities at all. When you went to “The Head Figure” at the front of the ship, which had netting under it, is where you climbed out and did your business.

"It will lift a car like it wasn't even there"... Proceeds to stand on it and keep the door close...
He was talking about the hydraulic lifts on the door.
I don't that is how it works
@Rainbow Capone - I also didn't like the idea of an impossible-to-muscle door without a manual option. Machines break. Often, from just sitting there. Every machine-operated thing--Especially something as important as an only-entrance door--Needs a manual, auxilliary method.
Trapped forever in a hole
Right, closes it by hand. As for the break downs, something like this you would have a back up power source (deep cycle batteries) so you would want to do semi annual inspections at minimum, shocks/batteries/rotate food and water storage, anything else that could have a shelf life. Probably the same schedule you clean gutters, Shocks won't just fail that one time you need to use it. However with the door on it, it's obviously not lifting anything over 500lbs on top of it. A secondary egress or workable communication would be important.
love this. united states army veteran, this is right up my alley. still 20 minutes to go though, gotta make a store run then im right back.i'll edit this at the end or if i have more to say as i watch.
One thing i'm not getting is how that exit hatch is supposed to be able to "raise 16.000 pounds and lift a car like it wasn't even there". (21:55) All I see are those 4 little compression cylinders, which were selected to balance out the hatch's weight. Is there some kind of secondary hydrolic ram with a compressor they're not showing?
No. That is his pitch to people who don't know better. Not the only BS in this video.
I mean the guy stands on the door to keep it from opening... that proves him wrong as he's speaking about it lol
"I can't touch the ceiling" while touching the ceiling...
I remember watching videos like this thinking to myself when would you ever need something like this. Now the year 2021. I'm thinking about buying one myself.
Huh? To hide from society?
Follow the money.... The rich, the powerful, etc are buying bunkers, and water rights, right now. It's funny how many people don't think about that.

Yup, its all a big conspiracy theory until you wish you had one. History always repeats itself. Get ready for the show folks.
Let me know where put it I’ll fill it with water and steal your food
One of the most crucial things often overlooked in bunkers...is ceiling height. A low ceiling over your head that almost touches your head helps increase cabin fever much faster than a ceiling that's 10-12 feet above the floor.
I think anyone will go crazy in one of these and these won't help you for very long
@@18despues They usually don't have to. Radiation from Fallout degrades quickly. Radiation levels can fall to relatively safer levels after about 48 hours. So if you can shelter in place for two days, you could likely leave and seek rescue should Search and Rescue be looking for survivors. I'd have a couple suits to shield from radiation and some iodine tablets to protect the thyroid gland from radiation. I'd rather have a bunker to shelter in after a nuclear detonation that to hope the basement of a house will do the trick. NYC even had a PSA recently to educated New Yorkers where suitable shelter can be found. Centers of buildings away from windows, preferably concrete buildings. Cloths, especially if it's covered in dust, should be removed as it could be contaminated with radioactive fallout.
if I'm going to build a shelter you bet I'm putting an atrium in there. I know atlas has this dome system and that's going to be the main rec space
Waste of time and money
Having a low ceiling requires less energy to heat as most people are not seven feet tall
It's like having a boat. You gotta check up it once a week.
Can't find his own shelter! Lol
Hes got camera
I came to say the same...this guy is so full off it I put my boots on 30 seconds into the video
So when you're changing out the now radioactive air filter inside the shelter, who deals with the radiation?
the filters last far longer than the 2 weeks you need to be underground. Any radiation within the unit would have the same half life as the outside environment
@@sanisidrocr Depends on the isotope, some have very long half lives.
Radioactivity isn't that dangerous as long as you contain the particles. So something like making it wet while changing and putting it in a bag would probably be enough protection. Problem is radioactive particles getting into your lungs or food or drinking it. The radiation it gives off won't be that dangerous for short exposures.
You'd still be better off than the guy without a bunker.
@@user-wc1em7pc2p After 2 weeks the half life insures you will likely survive most radioactive fallout. its not as big of a deal as many movies mislead people.

If I had one of these, I would get folding step stairs with a lever. So you can fold the steps into the stairs and it becomes a slide. That way you can get down there very quickly. And if you need to step back up, you pull the lever on the bottom to turn it back to steps. There would also one or two hand rails on the side of the stairway in case the lever stops working or if you lose balance.
best idea ive heard today!
I imagine , sliding down on a long tube speeding you need to address the broken legs problem after too !
It’s a great idea as a deterrent to invasion :p
I like this idea. You could also use it to slide your supplies down them much more easily than carrying heavy, bulky things down a relatively narrow, steep, and unforgiving stairway.
No
Pretty sure the navy actually has this on some ships, you can pull out the stairs and flip them around to make a ramp, but they use the ramp to slide supplies - not people.
These structures are extremely expensive, and you can simply improve your own basement with almost the same results for survival.
This guy who owns this company, actually talks about this. He is pretty much as open about surviving this kind of stuff as anyone I have seen. His goal is to create ways for everyone to have something for protection. Check his website out.
In the event of nuclear war I can guarantee you that, sooner or later, you would have uninvited visitors if your house has a basement. If not for protection then for food or other necessities.
@@uncomonsense in the event of nuclear war after no more than 2 months in the protective shelter, you will need to move to escape nuclear contamination zone. But if you are outside the zone of contamination, you do not need a bunker.

What a time we live in. I joked with my wife about putting one of these in. She said “yes please”. She’s a schoolteacher.
Yeah maybe you'll have to call atlas over to lay some pipe for you
Does the air circulation system have a CO2 sensor hooked up to it so that when CO2 builds up it'll automatically activate, and you just can use the manual activation switch and the crank as manual overrides in case that breaks or otherwise malfunctions? It'd also be nice to have a switch in the decon room to activate the circulation system so that one could cycle the air without going into the bunker, just in case something contaminated the air inside the bunker while you were out, or if you had someone back at the bunker who wasn't responding, which may indicate having slept through an alarm and being unconscious due to CO2 buildup.
I think it'd also be nice to have some form of water catchment, a SMALL woodstove (don't need much of one for such a small space, but it'd be nice in the winter months to be able to bring the temperature higher than 55 degrees) and the option for like, a large bathtub.
Can't forget that with a properly constructed and stocked shelter your sanity will be the first thing to go, so getting some creature comforts set up would be a good idea. Probably also a good idea to get a sun-lamp too so you can avoid vitamin D deficiency.
IDK if any of these are things you've addressed with your previous builds or anything, but they're things I've thought about.
I know the comment is quite old, but for the CO2 situation, it would be substantially cheaper and less of a hassle to just print out a formula for number of people in the specific bunker model and how often the air needs to be circulated, then input a timer onto the system or have people manually activate it at a certain interval, more economical and gives you something to do.
You might need to build small village to provide your needs.
Eat the right foods and you won't have a vitamin D deficiency. Creature comforts? well a book case and a DVD player would go a long way...and a small electric generator of course. suspect they've already thought of that. But if you haven't got a strong room full of cash, just a small area where you can ride out the first blasts would be good - in the UK we don't go in for bunkers like the Swiss or the Swedes do, so our official government nuclear war survival advice was to lie a couple of doors across the space under the stairs, and wait there for 2 weeks...gimme a cheap little basement bunker any day...

Only flaw I see is with the exit doors swinging outward, someone or something could block the doors from opening preventing me from getting out eventually turning the bunker into a grave.

Ok so anyone think of UV lights?? For the vitamin K that we need in our bodies to be healthy? or 4 possibly hydroponically growing food at some point with new LED lighting and no need for soil?

I'm not sure how long the human body can survive without the necessary nutrients it gets from small amounts of sun exposure. but one can assume if radiation and whatnot can't get through the bunker walls then whatever things that you need from the great ball of fire in the sky you def won't be getting!

Many factors to consider when designing a bunker, especially when it comes to its interior layout, ventilation, lighting, and sustainability.
First and foremost, the layout of the bunker should be efficient and practical. This is especially true for the kitchen area, where you want to make sure there's enough space to move around and prepare food without obstacles. If the current layout isn't working, consider consulting with an interior designer to help you come up with a better design that meets your needs.
Another important consideration is ventilation. Since bunkers are typically underground, there's a risk of excess humidity building up, which can lead to mold and other issues. To combat this, it's important to have proper ventilation and air circulation to keep the air fresh and healthy. This is especially important when it comes to the materials used in the bunker, as some products can release moisture or toxins into the air.
Speaking of materials, it's also important to consider the sustainability of your bunker. Ideally, you want to use materials that are low-emission and environmentally friendly. This not only helps keep the air clean and healthy, but also reduces your impact on the planet.
Another key consideration is lighting. Since bunkers are often underground, there's a lack of natural light, which can disrupt our body's natural rhythms. To combat this, it's important to incorporate artificial lighting that mimics natural light as much as possible. Additionally, incorporating red lighting can help regulate our body's natural clock and improve our sleep quality.
When it comes to sustainability, it's also important to consider water and waste management. Incorporating a hydroponic or aquaponic system can help provide fresh produce, while also helping to purify the air and water. Additionally, having a recycling system in place can help reduce waste and make your bunker more self-sufficient.
Of course, these are just a few of the many factors to consider when designing a bunker. Ultimately, it's important to consult with experts and do your research to ensure that your bunker meets your needs and is as sustainable and healthy as possible.

The correct model I'm working on are 3 or 4 families in connected pods with common areas. You need a group of people for such a multi-year event. To rely on others' talents. The luxury "billionaire bunkers" are actually death traps. Nothing on that scale can last very long. VIVOS advertises one year and that's it. TOBA had years of at least minus 60F.
Help me😂I want to get one.
A nuclear attack is not a 'multi-year event'. At most, you're sheltering for a month while you wait for fallout to settle at which point you and your family proceed to evacuate to a safe location. I can't think of any type of attack that would necessitate being in a bunker for any more than 6 continuous months until it is safe to evacuate.
People who think they have to live for hundreds of years inside a nuclear bunker get it all wrong.
2-3 weeks is enough, then most of the particles with a short half-life will be decayed and the radiation on the surface will be acceptable. The chance of getting cancer might be increased, but you will be able to live several years on the surface.
Thus a good nuclear bunker has to fulfill 3 roles.
1. It must protect you from thermal heat.
2. it must protect you from overpressure
3. It must protect you for about 2-3 weeks from radiation.
And the chances to survive a nuclear attack are much higher in such a bunker than on the surface if the distance to ground zero is large enough. If the nuclear detonation is to close, no bunker will help you.
@@shadowtheimpure maybe an anthrax attack or a botulism toxin (yes botox, it was a nazi superweapon b4 companies figured other uses for it) could cause a near perpetual need to live underground.
Ok, it's the "Head" because it's at the front "Head" of the boat. Remember, wind pushes the sailing ship
🤣🤣
Only when running. On all the other reaches, the wind is pulling the boat.
I'd like to redirect you to 20:00 mark. "This is a 6" galvanized air pipe so it's never going to rust" Obviously this guy hasn't seen what the coastal regions in Texas can do to galvanized steel (rusty in less than 36 months). I called, quoted him and he denied saying it. Blamed the editing of the production team. Really dude?
He seems like a BS artist
@@gemcutter187 salesman for you
Salt water does that, rainwater, nah. Which is why in the UK you never buy a second-hand car from Cornwall until you've checked every inch for rust...
Salt water will eat through anything.
Under normal conditions, that pipe won't rust. I imagine that he doesn't install very many of these in coastal areas or he'd likely have said that differently.
What a great way to build an affordable home and bypass all building codes! fraction of the cost to heat and cool.
Wow good point!
I was thinking this way. You build a house. Then you build a bunker. You live in your house while the bunker is there essentially unoccupied. But if you built a bunker that is also your house, you would save some resources. Certainly you would design and build that bunker somehow different so it would be a comfortable house.
One little question: If the air filter takes out the radiation dust, it then sits in the filter right? The filter housing is inside the bunker. The steel filter box is not like a thick wall of concrete. So is the radiation not entering the bunker anyway?
Exactly! Stupid is as stupid does. There's a sucker born every minute.
This whole video I was shaking my head thinking “this is a hobby bunker”. Great maybe for a short term safe room, but not for a place you would have to live in for any length of time and certainly not a biological war shelter.
In 2 or 3 years time you can cook your breakfast on it. Green eggs & ham?
@@andybilakshow260 lol nice
A filter will not stop Gamma radiation. Those pass all the way thought the Earth
