If this is a NBC shelter you need a decontamination area at the main entrance/exit. This is to ensure no contaminants get into the clean area of the shelter. Showers will be required in this area as well as 2 separate areas to keep contaminated clothing and clean clothing for shelter wear.
Him and his family, should have entered the shelter well BEFORE a bomb drops. Afterward, it's too late for anyone in the family, no matter how many showers you take. Radiation poisoning, happens the second the bomb detonates. The gamma radiation, as well as x-rays, will fry you almost instantly, and if that doesn't kill you, then you must be made of lead.
Great setup! You thought of just about everything! The only thing I would add, is a longer escape exit, like a 40-50 foot long tunnel, doesn't have to be big, just enough to either crawl or duck walk, and I would either plant a whole bunch of stuff on top of this shelter, so it is covered. And also, stick several "decoy" white things out of the ground, so if someone did see/find it and pull it out, it will look like nothing, so if you have 3 or 5 scattered around, it wouldn't look to suspicious as one white pipe sticking out of a plain field.
We have a fallout shelter under our basement , roof of the shelter is a 5 ft thick reinforced basement floor , shelter has running water from a reservoir in the basement , we have a 5kw propane fired generator outdoors in a block house & a back up 3kw diesel generator in the basement & 500 gallons of diesel fuel storage , ours was built by my father when he built the home in 1972 , our basement supports for the main floor of the home are triple redundant to avoid collapse of the main floor causing main entrance blockage . The 1 nit pick I have with ALL metal underground shelters is the complete lack of long term waterproofing , those light coatings will not protect the metal past 10 yrs or so & the structure will rust out , for a few bucks , most likely under $5,000 you could have a 50 year rubberized asphalt waterproofing system wrapped completely around the shelter , along with a layer of protective insulation & scrum sheet to keep rocks , soil & debris from penetrating the waterproofing system & allowing moisture to touch metal . We lucky in that my father applied a coal tar pitch waterproofing system to the bunker along with a dual redundant drainage system seperate from the homes drainage system , we have a back up sump pump that can be hand cranked incase both drainage systems fail , long term water issues are rarely addressed in these videos , if your gonna make this kind of investment you want it to be in perfect shape 50 yrs from now & a selling point of the home , collapsed & damaged shelters detract much value from the homes .
Kyler Blake Taylor All metal buried below grade rusts out , period , all that can be done to stop the corrosion process is to make sure zero moisture comes in contact with the metal , below grade steel is only as good as its protective coating , your uncle might own the company & build great stuff but that does not change the laws of physics , or below grade waterproofing needs .
the escape hatch is bolted shut and filled in with sand. so when you open the hatch it cracks your face open and dumps 300 pounds of sand on top of you. perfect.
I understand filters could be used. I would assume they're military grade, super-sealed bio AND nuclear fallout filters. The slider vent door did not look like a sealed pressure door looking apparatus. He slid open the door and daylight was visible.
6 ft of dirt wld help block radiation, outside the blast radius. It is the mass which stops the falling radiation, people stuck in certain areas would be pilling things the create mass above and around them inside their homes. This shelter clearly would help alot in the areas outside the blast radius.
Y'know what? As a fallout shelter it may suck, agreed. But I want one of these underneath my house, with the entrance underneath a sofa so that nobody knows it's there. My own little hidden heaven!
Very neat. Looks like a good general purpose solution. I currently live in the path that fallout will travel from the western areas of the US. Also, a nuclear exchange in Korea in or middle east might reach my home (over time). It would also solve my tornado concerns too. I am currently evaluating different types of shelters and might give your company a call soon.
I was thinking the same thing. You would also need some kind of decon system at the entrance in case you are late getting in or simply need to go outside for something. I agree on the shower. Though, if they placed it at the entrance it might work as a low end decon system...but not something you would want to use just because you are starting to smell. Bottom line, this would be nice for tornadoes...lol. However, in an nbc environment it would only help you survive the initial blast...maybe.
You should paint with more vibrant colors. If the needs comes to it and you need to use it living arrangements will feed more livable. If your in there for weeks on end a good color pellet with destress and calm you down, plus make the space fell bigger (psychologists have tested how color affect human behaviour and it does actually works). Just one thing to consider
I know how to get in, turn the generator off and plug the air holes, then they have to come out. No shelter is good unless you include manually operated air pipes that extend away from it so they can be hidden. And it should have light tubes to bring in free light.
The fallout shelter will be buried 6 feet deep, in the unlikely event that a need to ventilate the shelter arrises, those slider vents would be opened, A properly designed Shelter is under slight positive pressure(higher pressure inside the shelter than outside aka topside), once vents are opened air would rush out of the shelter(like a busting balloon) this prevents any NBC agent getting down into the shelter.
@cszuch25 Actually that depends on how close the shelter is to the point of detonation. I believe this shelter is designed to go underneath the ground so this should not be a problem.
I was thinking about installing a 400 square foot underground shipping container about 10 feet underground. About how much would this cost? I’m really looking to use this area as a root cellar and tornado shelter, and living in it while Zi build my tiny home
Mitch, Not enough time to get into shelter? Just buy my new improved 2012 body bag. See you just wear it like a human air bag so being tossed around like the michelin man is harmless. haha. Beats hauling a shelter around with you. Best thing to live is to be far enough from big cities to be able to get to the shelter before shockwave gets to you.
Nice investment man I would have a bunker if I could afford it. think about a bug out plan and weapons and ammo would be the new currency in the anarchy food and water seed arch. it is an expensive hobby prepping. good luck to you and your project.
funny how tv seems to be the number one concern rather than how sturdy and durable this thing is obviously you have some very strong doors sirs.. i think itd be good though to have an air filtration system for and chemicals, completely explosive proof ( not gonna do much good if a damn nuke goes off right near the shelter even if underground... id say continue upgrading and think of everything.. extra storage for food water and fuses...
@drummerjdb Can we see what you have? I'm sure it must be something really super great with all your comments you made. Unless it takes a direct hit the steel won't melt around you and it will be protected from gamma with the 5 foot of dirt over it. I believe it will also have the filters needed for air in the piping leading out of the ground. It is a very good start for "instant shelter" that can be had quickly.
you sure those joints connecting the rooms together are strong enough? If there is earthquakes or even a nuclear blast, there will be a lot of ground disturbance and large shelters like that may crack or break along those areas.
I should also point out, that alpha particles can be extremely dangerous if they somehow get inside your body, but that is highly unlikely since alpha particles can only travel a few cm before getting absorbed back into the atmosphere as helium, and is stopped by pretty much any kind of shielding.
Interesting. What's the underground "shelf life?" Rustproofing? Waterproofing? What about fire? Fires in these things are bad. Do I have to go outside to fill / maintain the generator? AC will be needed to get rid of humidity & heat from appliances (14KW of heat + all the people). Seems to dependent on the gen for air, water (sewer), light. Are there alternates for these? What about frame deformation on the big doors?
It seems some people don't know the difference between a "Fallout" shelter and a "Blast" shelter. The idea is good but the design flaws make it a metal coffin as a NBC shelter. It needs a sealed/closed ventliation system and CO2 scrubbers, and use battery power like a submarine. Any vents for drawing in air from outside needs to be properly screened and filtered to prevent contaminated particles from entering the shelter. And the shower is a waste of precious clean drinking water.
@ 8:27 you might want to check that weld in the wall. Light is coming through! If light is shining through, so will other hazardous things. You're welcome.
so just smash and clog up the air feed into the shelter and sit at the hach and wait a few days either they come out or run out of air and everyone is dead.
If fallout is raining down, how are you going wait outside for a few days and wait for this guy? You would be dead! Unless you had a radioactive suit and a self contained breathing apparatus that can supply oxygen for 72 hours, good luck, because most only supply 1 hour, 2 hours tops, and you're gonna wait for them for what? Is it really worth it?
+Doomsday Lone Wolf yea well the fallout would only last a few days and that is if it was a nuclear attack. what if the government fell or society collapsed smart ass.
Reaper 18951 Thats why you should have an air scrubber. Cleans the co2 out of the air and you dont need the vents. Also a second escape hatch hidden so you can shoot the sumbitch who clogged your vent.
Well first if you did not have vents to the outside, you would soon die. Second you have a special filter system, which filters all NBC particles. Also there are blast valves on these vents to protect against over pressure.
oh yea and vent sliders for fresh air...fresh air is a rare commodity during any sort of NBC scenario lol...might wanna duck tape and plastic that beyond air tight, leave your mask on and sleep under a tarp hahah...
Does this shelter not have an air filtration system? Or did I just miss it somewhere? If it doesn't have a filtration system then it would only be useful as a storm shelter, not a survival/fallout shelter.
just 5 ft under ? hell a grave is deeper than that. What about the filter and scrubbers for the air, what about re-bar reinforced concrete around it ? what about a decontamination chamber ?
@Deonuek Ok so i knew that there was a difference between a fallout shelter and a bomb shelter my question is which would be better to get. I always figured that if u live near a large city thats more likely to be bombed in a nuclear war you would want a bomb shelter but if u lived in the sticks you would want a fallout shelter. Am i correct in beleiving that or are there other factors?
Bit pointless having a fallout shelter that has a generator that you have to access by getting out of the shelter. Not seeing an air filtration system either
How are the generator and wiring inside the shelter since it appears all continuous protected against the EMP from a nuclear blast? This seems more like a SHTF or tornado shelter vs NBC shelter.
why isnt this underground? if a shock wave hits this its gone... and u gotta undo bolts to get out? how long is that going to take? that vent in the bedroom is fail..
Very nice! Are you concerned with building code? I don't think 'BX' will fly...? I think you need to use conduit. At any rate I would love to have one...8)
radioactive material is at a subatomic level.. why do you think they use thick lead etc since most people can't build or mostly afford military grade things like very thick lead walls then your best bet is to put the most distance between you and ambiant air on the surface.. not saying this is full proof either but deeper is safer and the most effective is not extensive digging but actually digging into the side of a mountain. also foods like seaweed are good at absorbing radiactive isotopes..
ok if the thing is supposed to be underground, how the hell does bedroom 1 have a slide showing daylight coming in like a window rather then from above from a pipe? Yes i know during this filming it was above ground. But below, there would be no air access the way its shown here.
Paul Hicks It's not a true nbc shelter. It needs to be filtered with an nbc filter connected to an outside air pipe. Without this during any nuclear attack you WILL get radiation poisoning. During any chemical attack you WILL get burned up lungs And during any biological attack you WILL get sick and death will be the result of all of this. So do not get a bunker with a outside air pipe or any access to outside air unless it is nbc filtered.
Wouldn't you want to go deeper in the earth to escape the heat if a nuke goes off? The water would put off heat in the room? I did not see any insulation around it to keep the heat in and from letting heat out in the room
At the 7:21 mark why would have a non sealed slider vent to let in fresh air? If there was nuclear fallout and you opened this on a windy day guess what, there would be nuclear fallout in your fallout safe shelter. You might want to rethink a few of your designs and get rid of a few things like this.
You've got your shit backwards. From the Duke university page on radioactivity: "The third, and most powerful form of radiation, is gamma radiation. Unlike alpha or beta rays, gamma rays have no electrical charge. This type of radiation is by far the most dangerous. Gamma rays may pass completely through the human body." and "Because alpha particles are relatively large, they have little power to penetrate objects, and are not considered to be very harmful."
@K9GSD112 1) the movie shows clearly that the door is not one inch thick 2) the vent is attached to an air tube that goes to the surface. think before you comment artard
Needs to be deeper. I wouldn't mind having one. They make these so expensive. I think this would be perfect for a fallout from debris or volcanic ash. A catastrophe that could possibly be imenant in our lifetime. I think having one would be better than not having one.
I don't understand the point of the outside vents if this thing is supposed to be a Nuclear Bio Chem shelter?? I saw him open a slider to the outside from one of the sleeping bunk rooms.
Fire is a concern only if you live in a wooden house.... if you live inside a concrete/bricks house you can simply put out a fire by closing doors and windows to suffocate the fire into the room.
@Joseph Steaphens Sure! Let me explain better: Yes, you can simply put out a fire by closing doors and windows to suffocate the fire into the room...... ....... but you can also simply put out yourself if you stay inside the same room and suffocate everyone else into the room! 🙂 For quite obvious reasons (or maybe not so obvious?) this method will quickly deplete the oxygen inside the room and fill the air with noxious gases, you have to evacuate the room and close the door! This shelter is pretty big, you have many rooms to hide and many doors to close, is also made with flame resistant material too (and, of course, for the best fire safety, you can choose only nonflammable furniture too!)
May not be full on apocalyptic war, might just be a failure of your local nuclear plant. If your local news told you a plant had failed for some reason and to take shelter underground for at least fifteen days - you could survive that. But not if you're completely unprepared.
Can u refuel the jenny without steppin ouside? I mean if its too dangerous to step outside (open air). Shudn't u put som tubing to refill the jenny from inside?
Needs to be deeper least 6feat of cement around, and 16feet of dirt to make it fallout safe, and you need to blast door with rubber frame, to make it air thigh, just steal wont work, and your went need to be NBC filtered with a air over pressure. and the wents need to haw one way valves.
Robin George Wellstead Learn how to spell. You spelled most of the words in you're comment completely wrong. Spell like an adult. Not some fucking kindergartener!
Nice, BUT what is ther likelihood you are actually going to need one of these? Plus, even if you do have one of these, what happens if you're at work when the bomb goes off? How you going to get to it in time?
If this is a NBC shelter you need a decontamination area at the main entrance/exit. This is to ensure no contaminants get into the clean area of the shelter. Showers will be required in this area as well as 2 separate areas to keep contaminated clothing and clean clothing for shelter wear.

I like the "unpenetrable door", it goes great with the easily penetrated walls and air vents attackers could use to smoke you out.
We have a fallout shelter under our basement , roof of the shelter is a 5 ft thick reinforced basement floor , shelter has running water from a reservoir in the basement , we have a 5kw propane fired generator outdoors in a block house & a back up 3kw diesel generator in the basement & 500 gallons of diesel fuel storage , ours was built by my father when he built the home in 1972 , our basement supports for the main floor of the home are triple redundant to avoid collapse of the main floor causing main entrance blockage .

My great uncle owns the company and will not rust out. They will out last the person buying and their kids no problem

I agree. All those metal shelters from the 60`s are full of rust. Basement version with NBC ventilation is best.
is it just me, or is the blast door pointless with fresh air slide made out of sheet metal
you might as well leave the hatch open to Circulate the are easier
the escape hatch is bolted shut and filled in with sand. so when you open the hatch it cracks your face open and dumps 300 pounds of sand on top of you. perfect.
Beautiful Shelter!
The price seems to be very reasonable.
When I build a house one day, I will consider installing a decent equipted shelter.
I understand filters could be used. I would assume they're military grade, super-sealed bio AND nuclear fallout filters. The slider vent door did not look like a sealed pressure door looking apparatus. He slid open the door and daylight was visible.

@MrOne2watch
the vent is for the air to keep the generator going. Its in a separate part of the shelter.

Great product, and good video. I wouldnt mind having one of these myself.
one more year, well better get started on that shelter
you sure those joints connecting the rooms together are strong enough? If there is earthquakes or even a nuclear blast, there will be a lot of ground disturbance and large shelters like that may crack or break along those areas.
looks like a few a few ship cargo holders welded together
@Deonuek well you don't have to use concrete it may be possible to use Aerogel.
I should also point out, that alpha particles can be extremely dangerous if they somehow get inside your body, but that is highly unlikely since alpha particles can only travel a few cm before getting absorbed back into the atmosphere as helium, and is stopped by pretty much any kind of shielding.

So it's been 13 years now. How did installation go and are you still happy with it.
Love that Southern accent you got rocking!
@ 8:27 you might want to check that weld in the wall. Light is coming through! If light is shining through, so will other hazardous things. You're welcome.

You could just re-enforce your single wide trailers, and put them under the ground. So its like you still living at home :)
Well first if you did not have vents to the outside, you would soon die.
Second you have a special filter system, which filters all NBC particles.
Also there are blast valves on these vents to protect against over pressure.
oh yea and vent sliders for fresh air...fresh air is a rare commodity during any sort of NBC scenario lol...might wanna duck tape and plastic that beyond air tight, leave your mask on and sleep under a tarp hahah...
Does this shelter not have an air filtration system? Or did I just miss it somewhere? If it doesn't have a filtration system then it would only be useful as a storm shelter, not a survival/fallout shelter.
If you go really deep in to the ground, can you stack more shelters on top?
just 5 ft under ? hell a grave is deeper than that. What about the filter and scrubbers for the air, what about re-bar reinforced concrete around it ? what about a decontamination chamber ?
@Deonuek Ok so i knew that there was a difference between a fallout shelter and a bomb shelter my question is which would be better to get.

Am i correct in beleiving that or are there other factors?
simplicity is better. the more complex your shelter the more things could go wrong and the more things you need to maintain.
How is this an NBC shelter with filterless air exchanges in the bedroom and bathroom?
Shit dood this bunker's so nice, I'd live in it.
very nice grave if it hits any where near.
Thos is my uncles shop. All shelters are laid in enough cement to be able to sink it under water. All vents would have a filter
@Habbrow94 It's still protect you better than paint, drywall, 2x4, fiberglass insulation, and plywood...
Lead paint? That would have been ingenious!
would be nice if it had a place to prepare food 2 14kw generators with the generator is a room attached to the shelter
Check out Atlas survival shelters. Much better design. A lot cheaper too
it needs a lot of work. Air how are you getting clean air in and what filter
Bit pointless having a fallout shelter that has a generator that you have to access by getting out of the shelter. Not seeing an air filtration system either
How are the generator and wiring inside the shelter since it appears all continuous protected against the EMP from a nuclear blast? This seems more like a SHTF or tornado shelter vs NBC shelter.
how are you going to get air if there is nuclear or biological fall out???
@K9GSD112 he also says that the facing is one inch plate steel so listen more carefully
thats a badass setup!!!!
Simplely put your air will run out if you don't circulate it. The idea is to filter out everything!
How many people would you say actually purchase an underground shelter and have it installed?
why isnt this underground? if a shock wave hits this its gone... and u gotta undo bolts to get out? how long is that going to take? that vent in the bedroom is fail..
Very nice! Are you concerned with building code? I don't think 'BX' will fly...? I think you need to use conduit. At any rate I would love to have one...8)

Paul Hicks
It's not a true nbc shelter. It needs to be filtered with an nbc filter connected to an outside air pipe.
Without this during any nuclear attack you WILL get radiation poisoning.
During any chemical attack you WILL get burned up lungs
And during any biological attack you WILL get sick and death will be the result of all of this. So do not get a bunker with a outside air pipe or any access to outside air unless it is nbc filtered.
Wouldn't you want to go deeper in the earth to escape the heat if a nuke goes off? The water would put off heat in the room? I did not see any insulation around it to keep the heat in and from letting heat out in the room
wait where are you going to get the water in a fallout from
At the 7:21 mark why would have a non sealed slider vent to let in fresh air?

Ok, you said your air comes from outside. What about radiation??? Seems to me some kind of high dollar air system would be needed to stay truly safe.
2 questions: 1 is how long did it take to make that? and 2 is how much did it cost?
Is that supposed to keep you safe when the zombies come?
I don't understand the point of the outside vents if this thing is supposed to be a Nuclear Bio Chem shelter?? I saw him open a slider to the outside from one of the sleeping bunk rooms.
Buffalo Bill would have loved this!
whats the point of having a 1inch thick steel blast door when the rest of the shelter is made of thin metal that could be easily cut?
wait where are you going to get the water from?
would that keep zombies out?
Cool shelter...but, doesn't it go underground?

Do not buy this bunker. Its a fake. If it has unfiltered outside air then you are better off standing outside during an attack
Is that carpet in the bathroom?
How much was paid for this? it is quite amazing.. I would love to own one for fun and in case, emergerncy use.
and if u need to use thee emergency exit if there is a fire...how are u gonna undo the bolts fast enough to get out?
Fire is a concern only if you live in a wooden house.... if you live inside a concrete/bricks house you can simply put out a fire by closing doors and windows to suffocate the fire into the room.
@Joseph Steaphens Sure!
Let me explain better:
Yes, you can simply put out a fire by closing doors and windows to suffocate the fire into the room......
....... but you can also simply put out yourself if you stay inside the same room and suffocate everyone else into the room! 🙂
For quite obvious reasons (or maybe not so obvious?) this method will quickly deplete the oxygen inside the room and fill the air with noxious gases, you have to evacuate the room and close the door!
This shelter is pretty big, you have many rooms to hide and many doors to close, is also made with flame resistant material too (and, of course, for the best fire safety, you can choose only nonflammable furniture too!)
why is it only 7 ft height and no underfloor storage?
May not be full on apocalyptic war, might just be a failure of your local nuclear plant. If your local news told you a plant had failed for some reason and to take shelter underground for at least fifteen days - you could survive that. But not if you're completely unprepared.
Carpet is bad idea. Should have used rubber tile flooring. Why do you feel the need for this shelter?
where do you manufacture these what state?what is the estimated cost of this shelter ?'
Can u refuel the jenny without steppin ouside? I mean if its too dangerous to step outside (open air). Shudn't u put som tubing to refill the jenny from inside?
That thing is an eyesore.
I'd honestly rather take the chance of neuclear war than having that in my backyard.
so do you think the trailer park approved of this going in? It looks better than the Trailer next to it. Might as well just move in..
I need to get me one of these for 2012.
Needs to be deeper least 6feat of cement around, and 16feet of dirt to make it fallout safe, and you need to blast door with rubber frame, to make it air thigh, just steal wont work, and your went need to be NBC filtered with a air over pressure. and the wents need to haw one way valves.

Nice, BUT what is ther likelihood you are actually going to need one of these?
Plus, even if you do have one of these, what happens if you're at work when the bomb goes off? How you going to get to it in time?

North Korea can now hit the United States capital with a icbm.
In other words they can nuke Washington dc
This video was a walkthrough of an uninstalled shelter. Once installed, it will sit about 5-6 feet underground.
This should be in everyone gardens, can't be to careful
