Tour Of A $30,000 Bomb Shelter
Вставка

- A bright yellow object on a main road through Bountiful, Utah captured a lot of attention.
The structure is an emergency shelter meant to be buried underground, but one company put the massive, bright yellow product on display in a parking lot.
Todd Tanner takes a look at the cozy refuge in this edition of Uniquely Utah.
In 2018 when this aired, it was done with a hint of tongue in cheek and a dose of sarcasm. Funny, nobody seems to be laughing at the "preppers" anymore.
*If I Ever Win The Lottery, I Would Get A Fully Stocked Bomb Shelter*
EXACTLY
you know the tiny house trend that was all the rage back in the day... well if i wanted to down size you bet i would live in this lmfao
Coming back here after stuff with ukraine going on. Hoping I can find someone nearby that owns one tbh.
Stay safe bro
How about $ 10.000 I already know what they look like 👍
I wouldn’t recommend relying on someone who has it. Because once something happens, that person’s true colors will emerge and it might not be pretty.
You can’t depend on anyone other than yourself and your immediate family. Even if you did know someone, you’ll need to get there, likely without any power or running vehicles (vehicles that are pre 80s MIGHT work). By the time you reach your destination, you’ll likely have walked through fallout if you’re within 50 miles of any military base or major population center. They won’t let you in. You could get everyone else sick. You’d be a safety hazard.
If you don’t have a shelter, you’d better have a basement, and a little bit of time. Cover all windows and vents with as much soil, brick, or concrete/foundations blocks as you possibly can. Not just the windows, cover all of it as best as possible. Put as much between you and the outside as possible. Also have 3 months of freeze dried food, enough water for a gallon per day, iodine tablets, hand crank radio, and a gas mask for when it’s relatively safe to come outside. Being physically fit won’t hurt either, as well as having a bicycle that’s been covered up. People that don’t prepare, they’re just being irresponsible, no matter where they’re located.
Honestly dude, even if I told you that you could stay in my bunker if you helped with all the costs..when it comes down to it and your literally radioactive from travelling to me, or there is too much chaos to open the doors, or if there is a some kind of biological threat, you’re not getting in. I would not risk my family’s life to have anybody who I don’t know and love like immediate family. There’s no telling that you won’t lose your marbles and hurt myself or my family. Plus, my family survives a significant amount longer if I only have to feed them. This is coming from someone on the same position as you. I think it’s safe to assume that the worst will come out of most humanity in an end of civilization/world scenario. As soon as I have my own property the first thing I’m doing before any work on the house is constructing my own shelter, or splitting the cost with a multiple close family members. All the best brother.
30k my arsh. thats a $160,000 easy 40x20 and $400 per sq feet. not to mention the water, air and power supply.
Honestly makes you consider what is the price tag on your families survival doesn't it?
@@The1rockerman NAH IT ACTUALLY MAKE ONE CONSIDER BEING REALISTIC AND UNDERSTANDING ONLY THE WEALTHY CAN AFFORD SUCH THINGS AND COME TO TERMS WITH REALITY
@@SpencerBrown777 What? Don't think that way man. You are setting yourself up for failure. You can have anything if you are willing to work for it.
You’re probably spot on. Rising S Bunkers (who isn’t nearly as reputable) sells a 10x20 for $80k, and that’s prior to delivery and installation. When I contacted them and gave them my zip code, that would have been an additional $40k. That does come with an NBC air filtration system, toilet and shower tapped into the existing septic, and solar panels and a battery bank. That would also include connecting to city power, a diesel generator if you have one, and a water storage tank buried next to the bunker (you’re responsible for the generator and storage tank). Any Home Depot or Lowe’s has a 2,500 gallon tank for well under $2k, and as for a generator, you get what you pay for. I’d probably opt for an older diesel with the least amount of electronics as possible, just in case of EMPs.
I may look into going smaller. That would cut a big chunk off of the cost of the shelter, and also delivery. Rising S has an 8x12 economy shelter for $50k, and Atlas sells an even smaller one for $20k, but neither include the delivery and installation. I don’t believe the Atlas shelter for $20k includes the door, or NBC filtration either, but I could be wrong.
So yes, they are expensive, unless you’re not one to get claustrophobic. I need a bit of space, primarily for entertainment. I’m seriously considering investing into one of these. I’m only 68 miles away from the nearest military base, and 77 miles away from the nearest city. Blast won’t affect me, but fallout would depending on the wind pattern. Best case scenario: 3 days underground. Worst case scenario: ?
@@SpencerBrown777sure, bunkers made by this company. You don’t need to be wealthy to do some of your own engineering and concrete pouring. It makes me consider how I can afford to do keep my family alive on my own. You can sit there and cry about how you’re behind in the world and can’t afford anything, or you can go out and make it happen. Be that through your own work, contracted work, or work donated by close friends and family. Why should someone hurt themselves and their own pocket to help you survive the end of the world when you don’t even have the mind set to help yourself survive it? Also, what benefit do you provide to a future society with that mindset? Hint: You don’t… instead of building a new world your gonna want it built for you for free because “you deserve it”
These things seem like all to much of a reality these days
In the future, many underground shelters will be needed.
Wonder what to do if anything goes wrong down there in the ground?
Wish it was still 30k not anymore with the steel prices
you posted this 2 years ago, prices on everything doubled, not just on steel.
Atlas is one of the best. Don't use anyone else unless they have the same equipment and air systems.
Which nearly none do that are well known. Rise doesn't do half of what atleas does and will turn into a bomb underground with propane inside it
Explain in more detail - what is Atlas?
@@defaultdefault812look it up. It’s a company. You watched the video, right? Pay attention to it and you’ll figure it out…in detail!
I want one I wonder if u can get smaller cheaper ones
This was years ago. The one in this video would be 1.5 times the price now, if not more. The cheapest one you can get is 20k, but that doesn’t include delivery and installation, and it’s really tiny. Almost like living inside of a large septic tank. Seriously, to have an even half way decent semi comfortable underground bomb shelter, you need something the size of a small shipping container, and you’re looking at spending at least $75k after all is said and done. Unless you have a whole lot of experience and a whole lot of help. You could build your own, but even with experience, it won’t last nearly as long or be as safe as someone that builds these for a living.
You can get smaller, cheaper ones, but you're probably looking at around 40k for one with a single small room with just enough space to lay down.
definitely getting one lol better safe than sorry
Have you shopped around yet? This was 5 years ago. I have a hard time believing this particular model was $30k even back then. If you go with a far less reputable company, it’s going to cost at least $80k, and that’s prior to delivery and installation. Gave them my zip code, and a 10x20 with nbc air filtration, toilet and showers hooked up to the septic, water storage, and solar panels and a battery bank, it’s going to cost $120k.
How long does it last??
Late reply but my understanding is 100 years.
An earthquake shelter? Really?
how long would these last for?? like 300 years or so??
lucky if was 30 days
Nothing but a coffin!
Where’s the bathroom? Water?
How much is 30,000 bombshell today?
I want to buy one of these bomb shelters can I Can I ?
Total death trap!
How I wish there is Atlast store here in my country Philippines 🙏🙏🙏
Just take some Vault-Tec Plan D! It’s much simpler!!
We all need a Covid Bunker !!!

I don’t think this tin can will survive a nuclear blast it’s more of a gigantic cofen
it is not supposed to survive a nuclear blast. it is a "Emergency" shelter, not a "nuclear" shelter. a proper nuclear shelter needs 9 ft thick concrete walls, and needs to be (at least) 20 ft underground. this is for natural disasters, fires, and maybe a zombie apocalypse. also, the storage space is not enough for a nuclear winter.
KaniKuri ok fair enough but calling this thing a bomb shelter is misleading.
Not in a direct blast radius but a couple rings out might do it. It is supposed to be under ground. Most the trouble happens above ground and wipes the map clean houses off their foundations but most the foundations are left behind
Actually, 20 feet underground it would (but who would want to?) But a direct hit? Not a chance.
When rapture take place to late
One might survive the blast but, just what exactly are you going to come up too afterwards, Famine, disease, contaminated soil, water, and nothing but waste land.
uve obviously never played fallout...
Love the concept but sweetie, sweetie no, that thing ain’t surviving an earthquake. Trust me, I’ve been through an 8.4 before, that thing is gonna be rendered unusable after one
Well that surly costs out higher than $30,000. I think for more their starter models could be around there.
Preppers aren't looking all that crazy these days are they?🤔
30k for a big metal coffin...
Batmans Cave
...
She said earthquakes? How is a bomb shelter going to work in an earthquake?
Earthquake hits in heavy waves if you're inside metal tube Haus come down house not come down on you
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Basically another addition to your House except its Underground, and absolutely USELESS in a War!
It would be very helpful in a war. You could hide out in it instead of being drafted
You be better off having a shelter dug connected to your basement and poured like a regular basement. The most expensive part would be covering the top, but it would be connected to your basement easily concealed, and it would be connected with water and electricity and other things these things right here by atlas or nothing but death traps!
Are you suggesting Rising S Bunker is a better company and build? 😂
I’ve been following Atlas way better than Rising Bar but now in 2024 I wonder what this one is going for $35K 6 yrs ago is a long time. Even if $60,000 now would be a steal
