Your right. A double weld doesn’t guarantee a water tight seal unless you X-ray the welds. But that’s costly. Also if you noticed, the vertical welds were being done down hill.

Assuming that that nuclear air burst produces heat that is present long enough, and penetrating deep enough into the ground to melt sand deep enough to cause a problem using an escape trunk filled with sand (say a foot or so).... it is also going to be heating the ground one or two hundred feet away, deep enough to turn that bunker into an oven. Even if the temperature in the bunker "ONLY" rises to a tenth of that temperature (309 degrees F).... that's basically the temperature to bake a turkey at. And people will start dying of heat stroke within a very short period of time. The highest reported core body temperature in a patient who survived without permanent residual deficits was 46.5°C (115.7°F). This 52-year-old patient suffered from environmental heatstroke, and received medical treatment, including removal from the hot area they were in. There's no removing someone form this bunker to a cooler spot. On the other hand.... that presupposes that the bunker is pretty damned close to ground zero, in order to be that close to a nuclear blast. The bunkers in this video do not appear to be very close to any strategic target so that fireball should not be a factor.... just maybe a brief forest fire burning over the bunkers. which should not be a problem. All the folks have to worry most likely are: 1. The US government requisitioning it, 2. roving gangs of people looking to help themselves to whatever is inside, 3.Fallout, 4. sickness spreading rapidly in the closed environment of the bunkers; 5 incompatible occupants knifing each other or worse. 6) unplanned for guests draining prep supplies, and , as mentioned in another comment, a really messy Taco Tuesday aftermath.

JUST AN OBSERVATION : seems like these shelters need a 3rd point of entry / exit. Both the main entrance and the emergency exit are in a direct line from the site, and relatively close to the bunker. Perhaps another line of escape could be run from the existing lines, and exit above ground at a DISTANCE from the bunker. I'm thinking some kind of hidden entrance - maybe disguised as a rock formation - and at least 100 feet from the bunker. That way, if a landslide or tree fall blocked the bunker area, the #3 port would still operate.

Totally awesome. I would love to have one. Need to hit lottery.

Love the lay out , I’d probably go for 10 bunks and two double rooms , have more living space

It’d be so cool to have one these, especially one that connects your house to the shelter.

@RON @ATLAS. Do you plan to make a video on the DRIVE IN SHELTER'S.

Hilarious at the beginning when the guy let go of the concrete hose 😂😂😂

Great informative video. 👍

To buy this I'd probably team up with a bunch of friends/family to buy this setup and share it. Definitely my dream to have one just in case

Ron seems to have an incredible team. They seem to be able to with together well. I don't see 10 guys at a time holding up shovels doing nothing. I would trust no one else to build my bunkers! 🎈🥳🎈 I think I would want 6 like this side by side and 2 on top for spider holes to recon. 1 lateral and 1 vertical disguised as a tree for my 50BMG and rotating visuals.

I think I found a serious flaw with your design... what happens if a pipe breaks or the conduit breaks between the sections? How are you to access that area and repair it?

That's pretty incredible, although to be truthful, if I was spending that much money, I think that I would go with two rectangular units side by side and maybe with a connector with vault doors somewhere in the middle. But it was the client's project, not mine.

I also think the air pipes should be in a recessed pit, with a grate and foliage covering them. Sure, they have a drain to prevent someone from pouring flammables or other liquids, but there is no safeguard in place if someone were to seal them and effectively cut off the air supply to the bunker. Also, the NBC filter is in the master bedrooms of most of these bunkers. The filter will eventually become full of radioactive particulates, and emit radiation inside of the bunker. The filtration system needs to be shielded.

@@SmokingSevens How many people are "discharging" to your uncle's septic system? 2? 6? I bet a whole heck of a lot less than 24.

Let's see... 24 people, using toilet four times a day on average.... (assuming that many people are older/ or maybe experiencing some gastric distress due to a change in diet to survival food.... or maybe radiation poisoning). (Or come down with some bug from a whole bunch of stressed-out people in very, very tight quarters; everybody in my Navy boot camp company came down with some sort of gastro-intestinal bug, I understand that that and upper respiratory infections are common in such situations. ) Anyway, that comes out to a toilet being used every 15 minutes. If it's electric grinder pump, that's a heck of a lot of electrical power usage in a situation where there may be limited power available. Was there a spare? If you removed the pump to install spare.... what drains back?

Aha those Culvert pipes are 3,6 meters X 15,4 meters long. They are made of steel galvanized and welded at the seems from both sides. AWESOME!!

Amazing? It pays to be prepared. I hope it never gets used, but one day, this installation may just save 24 lives! Good luck to all of you who survived in this shelter. From someone who didn’t, peace and love to you all!

I think what a lot of people may be missing with this specific build is that there is going to be a building on top of this, likely similar to huge buildings near it. This underground bunker portion you see is likely only there for short term safety if there is temporary radiation or some temporary surface threat. The venting/air intake protection and additional water and fuel that everyone is asking about will likely come from the building that will be above the structure. It also appears there are multiple radio/satellite antennas around the property, and that combined with the repeated mention of extensive computer needs, leads me to think this going to have significant data storage and communication capability that might be real helpful in the event of a partial societal collapse. This is much more like a large compound with the shelter being just one small aspect.

For those commenting on the escape tunnels please remember that they said they were going to build a building on top of these bunkers. With that in mind the escape hatches (and air piping) can come up anywhere in the house or building. Behind false walls, cupboards, closets, fake fireplace, etc. Let your imagine run wild and that is probably what these people are doing. If they can drop $500k on just the bunker you can imagine that the upper structure will also be awesome.

Hydrogen bombs create fireballs that can be miles in diameter burning at millions of degrees, even if a bomb were to miss by half a mile(it won't) it would still destroy it completely. Say you build your pressurized underground bunker with an unlimited supply of power, air, water, food etc and you're not near enough to be killed by the thermal pulse, the overpressure of the blast, or the radiation which will be at its most lethal in the weeks following the blast... will any of your exits to the top even open? What if a house collapsed on top of them, or tons of concrete were blown onto them? This is without mentioning Strontium-90 or the fact that there will be more than 100 nuclear power plants around the world melting down for the next few millennia and poisoning our world even further. Nuclear war is game over human race, to think otherwise is a dangerous delusion.

This is interesting, however, have any of these been built above ground and had trucks full of gravel and dirt added around and on top? Seems more efficient.
