Lex's Budget Bunker Build
New Zealand
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2023
I'm building a bunker bomb storm shelter on a budget with just basic tools and equipment and would like to share the journey. The main purpose of the bunker will be as a safe sanctuary when SHTF. Most likely scenario will be an extreme weather event. It's going to be a slow journey since I work full time and have other interests but am committed to making steady progress and will post an update at least a couple of times a month. So welcome along for the ride :-)
PS I might post the odd non bunker related video as well!
