@@GlorifiedGremlin Lol so whats the plan hide in your bunker until your neighbours decide to eat your food? or you decide to eat your neighbours? Then come outside to a desolate short lived life?
I appreciate that you approach any topic with the utmost respect, and willingness to learn and understand. You truly humanized people who others might be so quick to judge.
I appreciate it, too. I was half-expecting an unfair, judgmental portrayal of people who just want to be responsible for their futures, but they both showed a willingness to suspend their views and listened to the people living there.
He lied though, reality is vivos picked up that land for next to nothing (cost per acre out there is vary low, and the bunkers lower it even more). Its kinda a scam because if you read into their "membership" details. Its 35k for membership then 1k a year under a lease with additional 100 month in HOA fee's (for "security" or some shit). If you really want to live in the middle of no where, you can pickup 40 to 60 acre lots all over the country for 35 to 100k. When you buy a house most of that cost is not the house it self, its the land its on and where its located.
I like how the guide doesn't seem like a crazy doomsday prepper like you would see on TV. It seems like he just enjoys the process of making the bunkers, building them, giving them a second life, basically a glorified man cave, and the end of the world scenarios is an afterthought.
@@willowgrove9288 I agree, nothing wrong with being prepared. Even if it’s basic like having some flashlights or extra water if the power goes out for a few days, such as the winter storm that hit Texas abit ago
Its easier to treat us doomsday people with more respect, now that the threshold of the apocalypses has come and gone. :-) Now its just a matter of managing it.
A lot of the shows are type casting. They are looking for the ones that seem crazy. Most preppers can’t even afford to go to this extreme. Bug out bag and full tank of is enough in most cases.
The most appealing thing to this whole video was it “seems” like it could be a very safe neighborhood to live in. The potential is definitely unlimited
Look at it this way. That guy in the orange shirt, with that gun strapped on his waist. Why is it there? Like, does he think the youtuber is going to try to kill him or something? Does he have to be armed standing in his own bunker? He is crazy. Virtually all preppers are delusional and have bizarre end-of-the-world fantasies. That's what makes them into preppers in the first place.
@@OriginalMusic1983 No, really. You go to tour some guy's bunker, and he has a gun strapped to his waist, and you think he's A-OK in the head? No one thinks that.
Glad you painted these people for who they are, kind people, with a good sense of humor, with a strong sense of what has real value in life and what's just consumed. Most preppers are like this, not every one lives in a container fort in the Arizonan desert, most just live ordinary life, but are hell bent on not being dependent on corporations and the government.

This is such a good example of 'to each their own'. If the apocalypse hits, I'm not so fussed about surviving if it means living a different kind of life. I'll be in the city drinking cocktails if it all goes down, but I totally appreciate what they're building here and how it works for them.
@@alejandrotapia5800 What if their loved ones aren’t alive right now? If I were his loved ones, I wouldn’t want to survive age an apocalypse knowing that everyone else would have passed away.
The media loves to portray preppers as crazy doomsday people. I think that people would be better off not being so totally dependent upon "the system". I'm sure that there is great satisfaction in knowing that you can live without all of that. I'll bet that the community there in Bunkerville is the best thing about living there. Think of the aggregate skillsets residing in that rather small area. Need an electrician, plumber, doctor, carpenter? They are probably your nearby neighbors.
"Travelling... allows you to interact with people who may see the world a bit differently than you do"... God knows how much we need that in our polarised world & times!
Kara, I maintain that teaching and caring for children is an essential skill. Imagine a scenario when families are gathered. They would need care and education for the children. You have those essential skills!
@@KaraandNate in such communities the role of a teacher for kids and all around 'morale officer' is the most important for the survival of the whole colony.
the best part of this video was when they asked they guy what kind of scenarios he could envision, he was like 'i try not to worry about it, i just worry about building the great stuff we've got here'. Really good response.
I think in a situation that would actually require bunkers, in a complex that large, one or more of your neighbors will eventually start breaking into and raiding other bunkers.
Has an engineer I think the same. Those 'Bunkers'' are nothing better than a normal concrete house with a basement. They are not even underground, i can see clearly water filtration issues which means radiation will leak in. But anyways radiation will leak in anyways because the air sistem has no scrubbing system or have powersources. I would take my chances in my concrete house basement. Real bunkers are made near aquifers, o dams. That way you have a giant batery next to you. And have MASIVE industrial scrubbers.
I visited there from Denver and was absolutely floored by how beautiful the night sky looks. Living in a city with light pollution you forget that there are more than a dozen stars in the sky! It's strange to say that I've met all of the residents that were interviewed here and they really are genuinely nice, kind hearted people who love thing in that community.
As long as I could get internet and have a really good 4 wheel drive then I would live in one of these. I had a house in a small town in the middle of the desert once, the skies without lights truly are a beautiful thing to see and the super quiet.
Same...for 35k? Those things are pretty spacious. Definitely need my internet though lol. Kinda sucks that you have to go 2 hours to the nearest wendy's though :P
I especially loved the second half of this - meeting some of the other people living there. With how intense my job can be, I can't imagine having to take even more time out of my day to do all the chores that being on the grid allows me to never think about. Props to the guys who live there and do it daily! 🙌
Might want to ask what was stored in them before buying. At the Umatilla Chemical Weapons Depot in Eastern Oregon, many of the bunkers held VX nerve agents and mustard gas. Many of the bombs that contained them leaked as well. I had the opportunity to work out there when the place was being decommissioned but didn't figure the risk of exposure was worth the compensation.
Canisters of agents were used in specially designed private residences, I discovered also. Maybe they won't tell you even when asked as part of a "that's for me to know and you to find out" scheme.
I like how the tour guide that was planning for the apocalypse was one of the most mellow people i've ever seen. it makes sense i just wasn't expecting it
Hi, Kara and Nate! I'm Daisy from Mumbai, India. We are again in a lockdown as the covid pandemic has caused a lot of stress here. It is your videos that help me get rid of the stress and relax! I've been binge watching from the start! Just wanted to say thank you! HOPE TO MEET YOU SOME DAYYYY!❤ TAKE CARE!
As a community they should look into buying that flat unused land across from the bunkers to build multiple greenhouses and fruit and nut orchards, maybe even build a massive man made pond or lake and stock it with fish! 🙂
@@godsbeautifulflatearth I was referring to getting what they can and preserving it as they have time. Fresh food is 1,000 times better than prepared with tons of preservatives.
@@leahtaylor7322 Again I was talking about harvesting resources before you had to go underground, but solar for power, geothermal for heating and cooling and if you could make those greenhouse's aquaponic 3x yield.
This was really fun to watch. In my experience the prepper/off-grid people I've met have actually been really interesting and not crazy at all. Just normal people who like to use and test their skills to survive without all the crap we've come to rely on. I wish I was able to build things and have the electrical know-how to maintain alternate power systems. And imagine -- these people have almost no monthly bills?
It's 1100 a year + the base cost of the echo chamber. 1 video said 35 another said 45. Then materials and labor. Then furnishings Monthly is probably only cell phone Internet fuel and grocery. Not bad at all. And I'm sure it's only going to get better.
Bunker? Those are Explosives Magazines. Everything from bullets to bombs and missiles were stored in those. Also, they are not "underground", they are earth covered. Big difference. Signed US Navy Veteran who was an Aviation Ordnancemen for 20 years.
Preach it brother IYAOYAS!!! Corbetta magazine and they are not designed for what they are being portrayed to be lol. No air supply, no running water so not sure how it works. Nothing against the Tubers but it's very misleading in my eyes.
@@robertwebsterii3099 Once I saw these, I knew this was a scam. It clearly isn't even plumbed and wired so you have to install everything. It's no bargain. I wouldn't pay these fraudsters a penny.
Ok.... I feel like being nitpicky for no reason. Though they are not called "bunkers" ECMs still are blast resistant both to keep a chain relation from happening also to keep outside mentions from destroying the stores... so the basic desirable function of a "bunker" being blast resistant or sturdy construction is the same function the Magazines served....
Kara’s personality is so inspiring and she is so funny and makes me laugh every time I watch the videos and nate’s energy matches kara’s personality so well. Love you guys so much
I have a friend who built a cool log home with all the modern conveniences, yet they live completely off grid. Self sufficiency isn’t such a bad thing, goodness the majority of us are sooo dependent & not as independent as we’d like to think we are.
@@sherryyyberryyy235 And never see your children or grandchildren again? Or rarely at the most? You're a very different person than I am. More power to ya.
He can stay there 4 years... First of all, a bunker must be 1000 feet underground. Furthermore, after a breakdown or an impact, you will have to move after a few days because everything will be contaminated, INCLUDING YOUR "BUNKER"! You know that, didn't you?
@@sherryyyberryyy235 My goal as well...Like I told My Son, Sure there are bad people, but for the most part, people as individuals are not that bad....people as a large group....they are/can be like herd animals. They will panic, flee, and do the most stupid things possible, when they should remain calm and think. So as I said, I want to be far from the masses.
@@johnniewoodard648 I very much agree! My friend was murdered 3yrs ago because of the color of her skin. Mass church shooting & needless to say ever since I have a new found fear of people in general. If going to church is no longer safe then what is?
When I was a kid, I would spend summers with my grandparents near Edgemont. I visited this place a few times. It always had a ghostly feel to it. There's a lot of interesting places in this region south of the Black Hills. It's nice to see people reusing this place.
I'm so glad I get to live vicariously through your videos. I had my first child at 14 and my husband and I been together 15 years. We have 5 kids together. We are still young so when our kids are grown we will be 40 years old and we want to travel. This inspires me so much.
I have 5 kids and a full time career. Can't start now. Lol. But I will be 40 years young when all 5 kids are grown and gone. So we will be traveling then.
@@BrittneyLlee kids never go away, they have kids, come home, use you as babysitters. Better get them straightened out asap. My Mom used to tell us 5 kids that at 18 we need to either be in college , have a job and don't even think about coming back. She said that's what her Mom told her and her many siblings. But now days that's it's a lot more difficult. Good luck.
Hey, y'know, some people might think it strange but it looks awesome out there and they can make their own spaces and be responsible for their own lives and it's great!
I'm a bit of a worrier by nature, I find your optimism so helpful! It's especially comforting during these most challenging of times we live in! Thank you so much!
He has a really good “vibe” . If he was all fear-based and militant I would be put off . But I can see the possibilities and that he would draw ppl in who you wouldn’t mind having as neighbors , friends ? Now all they need is a landscaper/visionary with an eye for HUGE projects .
I believe that this community should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing Kara and Nate on the Moon and returning them safely to the Earth.
My little sister is your biggest fan. She watches y’all non stop! Thank you so much for taking a picture with her today. It made her entire day! She is still smiling ear to ear. 🤩🤩 Edit: 5 hours later and She is still going on and on about how she can’t believe she met you. She is so star struck. She keeps looking at the photo too. Thank you guys for making her day.
Look at some of the vetting questions. In a "shit hit the fan" scenario, they think beauticians and RELIGIONS are going to help them pull through. Preppers are mentally insane. If "the world as we know it" ends, this is not where civilization will go to rebuild itself.
There's one problem, isolation and decent, people living in confined spaces start to infight, no matter how stable you think you are; there always a pecking order and it can become devisive and even aggressive.
I wonder what's under the bunkers and what the laws are on expanding your bunker. I would personally love to extend the bunker downwards (if I had that kind of money to throw around).
@@JDWonders not that I'm an expert or anything lol but i imagine if you owned the land then there shouldn't be any issue. May want to look into the mineral rights for the area too?
I'm sure it's *possible* ... but *feasible* without spending twice what the bunker *and* the re-hab cost, just to maybe have connections to, say, the 3 nearest other bunkers? It'd be *way cool* but I think that's something only the most well-off could pull off! But hey, if you win the lottery, _maybe_ ... 👌 😊
That would be good for help but wat if you have people that just dont leave yu alone and arguments start but i hate the community and the greed also All about ME so id love to live there 4 ever
Wow that Dude is so genuine, nice, well spoken and seems to have a wonderful community growing. I would love to have a safe place to retreat to in a crisis but to have a community during that time would be priceless..
They're all libertarian SovCits. If the shit were to ever hit the fan, they'd turn on each other, lol. Why are they all armed in a place like that? It's gated, and anyone who doesn't belong there would be challenged before getting 50' from the gate.
The travel montage at the beginning reminded me of the Bhutan series. I’m going to rewatch it now, it will forever be my very favorite vlog series you guys have done!
Bingo another highly intelligent fellow prepper!!!! You gave yourself away with that statement it's also dangerous to appear intelligent and you sure are but I know it's hard not to say something when your ears are bent so hard with bull stuff!!!!
$35K for a 75 year old concrete shell with no septic, power or water. I dunno. Unless you know how to put some of this infrastructure in yourself it's probably not as much of a deal as you think.
@@davidpetersen1 just saying can't get a piece of land with any infrastructure for 35k as far as I know. At least it has a roof. For the size it's not bad. You could also go the tiny home route but it won't survive hazardous events. Maybe you could park your tiny home inside lol.
@@Lilmiket1000 Hey sure. Whatever floats your boat. You Americans have your own ideas on what makes a "neighborhood". But judging from the aerial shots the whole Russian Military Gulag look does nothing for me.. for $35K. I guess some solice would be that everyone who chooses this type of environment to live in is probably of the same doomsday/ prepper sort of mindset. "Birds of a feather" type stuff. I prefer a house.. and tbh.. if the world has gone into such shit that this barren wasteland looks good? Then I've already checked out of this hotel. But Good Luck should you go for it!!👍👍
I buy 4 large Frosty's at a time (the interior size of my cooler) and put them in the freezer when I get home. That'll usually last me from 3-4 weeks. It's just not worth it to drive 1.5 hours round-trip to the Wendy's otherwise. And if you HAVE SOMETHING you don't *CRAVE* it, so that sense of wanting it goes away.
Nate and Kara never fail to deliver. Great people, they wisk me away to a ton of out of the way places that I'll never be able to visit and make me enjoy it. Truly blessed!
That older couple were so sweet; when they spoke of the stars in the night sky, you could see their happiness bloom in their eyes. Couldn't you see them putting a good medium format camera to use each night in the Winter?
I love those things. They are secure untill people find the exhaust/intake pipes. From then on out youre done for. "How long could you survie in here?" "Uuuh ... about half an hour to an hour. Depending on how well your pipes are hidden"
I'm from SD and I have been to these bunkers when I was young because my brother lived near them in a very small town and took us there. I so miss the wide open sky! Living in Mississippi with all the trees there's no open sky. 😞
The proper way to set up a bunker is to have a separate room inside for the generator. If you have an external power supply, it doesn't matter how safe and secure your bunker is.
A year of supplies won't be enough, what will they do when it runs out? No help will arrive for a long long time. And the generator only probably last six months? The suffering after everything runs out will be devastating. Russian missiles only take 20 mins to hit us so if you're more than 20 minutes away you're out of luck.
First video I’ve found from you guys and I swear I’m in love with the whole concept of your life, channel and the dynamic between you guys is incredible. Finding a relationship like yours is my new life goal lol. You’ve got a new subscription for sure
I watched about two episodes of that show....I think the producers went out of their way to find the most eccentric people they could....will not call them crazy, but a real prepper does not advertise.
Yellowstone isn't nearly as outright destructive as people think. The massive explosion absolutely will cause damage but only locally, the real danger comes from the ash falling back down.
It would be cool if they all connected to one another underground, like a little community to keep people from going crazy being stuck underground for years at a time😉😉
Only way it would be years is if a nuclear power plant was hit nuclear bomb 3 weeks you could be out moving around with little problems but if Yellowstone blows that place won't save them too close
I've done what you guys are doing....twice now......this country has some amazing beauty to it that unfortunately most people will never be blessed enough to see. I hope you two enjoy your journey and have tons of amazing experiences along the way. Good luck and God bless you both 🙏
Wow, what an incredible place to live and amazing people who have chosen the lifestyle. Hubby and I love being with each other and like minded people who build us up and not tear us down, so this appeals to me. Thanks for taking us here with you. What a great video !!! Be well and stay safe 💕
Considering some people already live there, prior to any apocalypse, they should probably set up some community center with maybe something like Trees or another to make it feel homey until the end happens. That way they can use that space for growing and fresh canned food.
Nate, you have a very distinct “narrative” voice while explaining. You would do well in that field. (Just saying) This was a great find, so glad we could se it! Thanks guys!
I love the fact you bring in the meaning of the word “perspective” in your video intro. If people understood the whole meaning around that word the world would be a better place.
I’m a beginner emergency prepper and this video was definitely cool to watch. I’d love to have a bunker for my loved ones one day. And for those who are curious about the preparedness community and why we prepare it’s because prepping is like having an insurance policy. We have car insurance for car accidents and health insurance for hospital visits. We hope we don’t have those emergencies but if we do, we have coverage. The same for prepping. And these past couple of years have given everyone plenty of examples of how likely and suddenly disaster can strike: whether it’s a natural disaster, social unrest, power grid going down, inflation/failing economy, supply chain disruptions, cyber attacks, international tensions, etc or even you losing your job…. It is always best to be prepared for you and your family with basic living essentials: food, water, shelter, security/self-defense, energy, warmth, hygiene, first aid, etc..!!
Glad to hear you are positive thinkers. A bunker is one end of the spectrum of prepping. However, there are levels of prepping. Everyone should be fully prepped for a 3 to 7 day shutdown of bank machines and food supplies- Not that difficult to do. It amazes me how many people can't get through a few days without begging for supplies.
"We're just super optimistic people. In general we just assume most things are going to work out" ....."Let me tell you about Surfshark...you have to protect yourself" lol The Irony :D

I think in a situation that would actually require bunkers, in a complex that large, one or more of your neighbors will eventually start breaking into and raiding other bunkers.
Yup. That wouldn’t be pretty. You know it would happen too as soon as someone runs out of supplies.
Probably why the vet people. It’s not just a bunch of individuals bunkers. It’s a a group with organized goals.

Might want to ask what was stored in them before buying. At the Umatilla Chemical Weapons Depot in Eastern Oregon, many of the bunkers held VX nerve agents and mustard gas. Many of the bombs that contained them leaked as well. I had the opportunity to work out there when the place was being decommissioned but didn't figure the risk of exposure was worth the compensation.
Canisters of agents were used in specially designed private residences, I discovered also. Maybe they won't tell you even when asked as part of a "that's for me to know and you to find out" scheme.
I really applaud you guys for keeping an open mind. Too many say they do, but then ridicule ideas that are different. Thank You!!
Kara and Nate were polite when visiting, but I got the sense they think the bunker people are nuts.
I like how the tour guide that was planning for the apocalypse was one of the most mellow people i've ever seen. it makes sense i just wasn't expecting it
Hi, Kara and Nate! I'm Daisy from Mumbai, India. We are again in a lockdown as the covid pandemic has caused a lot of stress here. It is your videos that help me get rid of the stress and relax! I've been binge watching from the start! Just wanted to say thank you! HOPE TO MEET YOU SOME DAYYYY!❤ TAKE CARE!
Stay safe Daisy, I’ve heard India is going through horrible covid cases right now.
Praying you all are safe in India!
Praying for you Daisy
Daisy - Praying for safety and good health for you and your family!
Daisy--I'm so sorry to hear about what India is experiencing right now. Sending my positive thoughts your way, and hoping things improve soon.
These couldn’t even survive a direct hit from a bomb let alone a close nuke.
yep these are just sheds
As a community they should look into buying that flat unused land across from the bunkers to build multiple greenhouses and fruit and nut orchards, maybe even build a massive man made pond or lake and stock it with fish! 🙂
Wow now that’s a great idea! I was wondering if they would be tornado proof!
One problem...
Nuclear fallout 🤪
@@godsbeautifulflatearth I was referring to getting what they can and preserving it as they have time. Fresh food is 1,000 times better than prepared with tons of preservatives.
How would you continue the power going if you don't have sunlight. Power should be used on in emergencies in my mind.
@@leahtaylor7322 Again I was talking about harvesting resources before you had to go underground, but solar for power, geothermal for heating and cooling and if you could make those greenhouse's aquaponic 3x yield.
This was really fun to watch. In my experience the prepper/off-grid people I've met have actually been really interesting and not crazy at all. Just normal people who like to use and test their skills to survive without all the crap we've come to rely on. I wish I was able to build things and have the electrical know-how to maintain alternate power systems. And imagine -- these people have almost no monthly bills?
Not crazy at all... lmfao 🤣🤣
@@JimSeward92 Most preppers/survivalists I know do it just as a hobby, they find it fun and engaging.
Jim seems like the kind of person who'd be violently banging at someone's bunker and demand they let him in when shit actually hits the fan, lmao.
Everyone has monthly bills I'm sure they pay property tax LOL and they eat
It's 1100 a year + the base cost of the echo chamber. 1 video said 35 another said 45. Then materials and labor. Then furnishings Monthly is probably only cell phone Internet fuel and grocery. Not bad at all. And I'm sure it's only going to get better.
Bunker? Those are Explosives Magazines. Everything from bullets to bombs and missiles were stored in those. Also, they are not "underground", they are earth covered. Big difference. Signed US Navy Veteran who was an Aviation Ordnancemen for 20 years.
Preach it brother IYAOYAS!!! Corbetta magazine and they are not designed for what they are being portrayed to be lol. No air supply, no running water so not sure how it works. Nothing against the Tubers but it's very misleading in my eyes.
@@robertwebsterii3099 Once I saw these, I knew this was a scam. It clearly isn't even plumbed and wired so you have to install everything. It's no bargain. I wouldn't pay these fraudsters a penny.
Ok.... I feel like being nitpicky for no reason. Though they are not called "bunkers" ECMs still are blast resistant both to keep a chain relation from happening also to keep outside mentions from destroying the stores... so the basic desirable function of a "bunker" being blast resistant or sturdy construction is the same function the Magazines served....
Dante called it right. We're in the middle of some crazy international tension right now and it's terrifying.
Kara’s personality is so inspiring and she is so funny and makes me laugh every time I watch the videos and nate’s energy matches kara’s personality so well. Love you guys so much
I have a friend who built a cool log home with all the modern conveniences, yet they live completely off grid. Self sufficiency isn’t such a bad thing, goodness the majority of us are sooo dependent & not as independent as we’d like to think we are.

Or rarely at the most?
You're a very different person than I am. More power to ya.
He can stay there 4 years... First of all, a bunker must be 1000 feet underground. Furthermore, after a breakdown or an impact, you will have to move after a few days because everything will be contaminated, INCLUDING YOUR "BUNKER"! You know that, didn't you?
@@sherryyyberryyy235 My goal as well...Like I told My Son, Sure there are bad people, but for the most part, people as individuals are not that bad....people as a large group....they are/can be like herd animals.

So as I said, I want to be far from the masses.

Cool but the proximity to the Yellowstone calderas is probably something preppers should be aware of.
When I was a kid, I would spend summers with my grandparents near Edgemont. I visited this place a few times. It always had a ghostly feel to it. There's a lot of interesting places in this region south of the Black Hills. It's nice to see people reusing this place.
Galveston Texas has a ghostly feel and it's ghost infested.
ppl may be living here if WW3 breaks out and it becomes nuclear armagedon
With edgemont at least you didn’t need a hot water heater lol. I used to live in Pringle
i've been watching you both for two years now and the thing only thing i just can't believe is how you don't have a netflix show yet !
Very true
netflix is dumb, they would support the hype house over this
Because netflix probably couldn't afford their content. I wouldn't be surprised if they made more off youtube than what netflix would offer.
Netflix is not good enough for Kara and Nate. Lol
Well they do use VPN to watch other Netflix content lol
I'm so glad I get to live vicariously through your videos. I had my first child at 14 and my husband and I been together 15 years. We have 5 kids together. We are still young so when our kids are grown we will be 40 years old and we want to travel. This inspires me so much.
I suggest you to start travel now before it’s too late. If you’re really want it. Who knows what may happen tomorrow.
I have 5 kids and a full time career. Can't start now. Lol. But I will be 40 years young when all 5 kids are grown and gone. So we will be traveling then.
@@BrittneyLlee kids never go away, they have kids, come home, use you as babysitters. Better get them straightened out asap. My Mom used to tell us 5 kids that at 18 we need to either be in college , have a job and don't even think about coming back. She said that's what her Mom told her and her many siblings. But now days that's it's a lot more difficult. Good luck.
Hey, y'know, some people might think it strange but it looks awesome out there and they can make their own spaces and be responsible for their own lives and it's great!

There's one problem, isolation and decent, people living in confined spaces start to infight, no matter how stable you think you are; there always a pecking order and it can become devisive and even aggressive.

He was so aware of how he had to choose his words. He did a very good job but it's sad that he has to at all.

Yep!
it'd be cool if they could make an underground series of tunnels connecting them as well
I wonder what's under the bunkers and what the laws are on expanding your bunker. I would personally love to extend the bunker downwards (if I had that kind of money to throw around).
@@JDWonders not that I'm an expert or anything lol but i imagine if you owned the land then there shouldn't be any issue. May want to look into the mineral rights for the area too?
I'm sure it's *possible* ... but *feasible* without spending twice what the bunker *and* the re-hab cost, just to maybe have connections to, say, the 3 nearest other bunkers? It'd be *way cool* but I think that's something only the most well-off could pull off! But hey, if you win the lottery, _maybe_ ... 👌 😊
That would be good for help but wat if you have people that just dont leave yu alone and arguments start but i hate the community and the greed also All about ME so id love to live there 4 ever

They're all libertarian SovCits. If the shit were to ever hit the fan, they'd turn on each other, lol. Why are they all armed in a place like that? It's gated, and anyone who doesn't belong there would be challenged before getting 50' from the gate.
The travel montage at the beginning reminded me of the Bhutan series. I’m going to rewatch it now, it will forever be my very favorite vlog series you guys have done!
It’s one of our faves as well 💗
This "visiting 50 states series" is getting so unique with every passing episode... Kudos Kara and Nate for such brilliant content 👏

I love that they are affordable too. Thats the most amazing part of it all! Anyone who might want to protect their family could afford one.
$35K for a 75 year old concrete shell with no septic, power or water. I dunno. Unless you know how to put some of this infrastructure in yourself it's probably not as much of a deal as you think.
@@davidpetersen1 just saying can't get a piece of land with any infrastructure for 35k as far as I know. At least it has a roof. For the size it's not bad. You could also go the tiny home route but it won't survive hazardous events. Maybe you could park your tiny home inside lol.
@@Lilmiket1000 Hey sure. Whatever floats your boat. You Americans have your own ideas on what makes a "neighborhood". But judging from the aerial shots the whole Russian Military Gulag look does nothing for me.. for $35K. I guess some solice would be that everyone who chooses this type of environment to live in is probably of the same doomsday/ prepper sort of mindset. "Birds of a feather" type stuff. I prefer a house.. and tbh.. if the world has gone into such shit that this barren wasteland looks good? Then I've already checked out of this hotel. But Good Luck should you go for it!!👍👍
If u can get there thru all the crazy panic
Be easy to frame that out turn into house
I bet that guy HAS driven 2 hours to get a Wendy's Frosty, at least once.
The sadness in his eyes
I buy 4 large Frosty's at a time (the interior size of my cooler) and put them in the freezer when I get home. That'll usually last me from 3-4 weeks. It's just not worth it to drive 1.5 hours round-trip to the Wendy's otherwise. And if you HAVE SOMETHING you don't *CRAVE* it, so that sense of wanting it goes away.
There's a Wendy's 2 minutes away from me, you couldn't pay me to eat their awful, cold, moldy food
They need convert one of the bomb storage Bunker's into a Wendy's
I bet that guy has driven 6 or 7 hours to get a Five Guys or Shake Shack burger!
Speaking of the night sky and seeing the Milky Way, you guys need to experience Big Bend...it’s such a magical place!
When yellowstone erupts, these will become tombs. :| The ash will bury them and no one will ever know they were there.
Nate and Kara never fail to deliver. Great people, they wisk me away to a ton of out of the way places that I'll never be able to visit and make me enjoy it. Truly blessed!
That older couple were so sweet; when they spoke of the stars in the night sky, you could see their happiness bloom in their eyes. Couldn't you see them putting a good medium format camera to use each night in the Winter?
Adding outdoor porch, fireplace and garage then, this is perfect place.
I love those things.
They are secure untill people find the exhaust/intake pipes.
From then on out youre done for.
"How long could you survie in here?"
"Uuuh ... about half an hour to an hour. Depending on how well your pipes are hidden"
I'm from SD and I have been to these bunkers when I was young because my brother lived near them in a very small town and took us there. I so miss the wide open sky! Living in Mississippi with all the trees there's no open sky. 😞
This is amazing and the community seems like really nice people.
If there is something like that in Canada I would totally buy in!
"The bunker can withstand the shock wave from any potential attack"...but the generator placed outside the bunker probably won't
That's why they were build far apart to avid a chain reaction, then... Riiight....
@@Johangv have you not seen the amount of munitions that they stored in 1 bunker?
or the solar panels
The proper way to set up a bunker is to have a separate room inside for the generator. If you have an external power supply, it doesn't matter how safe and secure your bunker is.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper
In other words.....these people have no idea what they're doing.
A year of supplies won't be enough, what will they do when it runs out? No help will arrive for a long long time. And the generator only probably last six months? The suffering after everything runs out will be devastating. Russian missiles only take 20 mins to hit us so if you're more than 20 minutes away you're out of luck.

Yellowstone Super Volcano" Are you sure about that?"
I was thinking the same thing ....
Large Space Rock: "What about me?"
If you go to their website, it shows how they are outside of the blast radius. Idk about the ash and ice age that would follow though
Yellowstone isn't nearly as outright destructive as people think. The massive explosion absolutely will cause damage but only locally, the real danger comes from the ash falling back down.
And the ring of fire , And a Big ass rock hitting earth . 😂

Doomsday bunkers are like fire extinguishers yes you may never need one BUT IF YOU DO NEED ONE!
It would be cool if they all connected to one another underground, like a little community to keep people from going crazy being stuck underground for years at a time😉😉
You mean like Fall out verse ?
Only way it would be years is if a nuclear power plant was hit nuclear bomb 3 weeks you could be out moving around with little problems but if Yellowstone blows that place won't save them too close
Seeing the Milky Way galaxy in the middle of nowhere is a life changing experience and a shame most people will never see the night sky

Considering some people already live there, prior to any apocalypse, they should probably set up some community center with maybe something like Trees or another to make it feel homey until the end happens. That way they can use that space for growing and fresh canned food.

nice thank you going to check this out!
I’m a beginner emergency prepper and this video was definitely cool to watch. I’d love to have a bunker for my loved ones one day.
And for those who are curious about the preparedness community and why we prepare it’s because prepping is like having an insurance policy. We have car insurance for car accidents and health insurance for hospital visits. We hope we don’t have those emergencies but if we do, we have coverage. The same for prepping.
And these past couple of years have given everyone plenty of examples of how likely and suddenly disaster can strike: whether it’s a natural disaster, social unrest, power grid going down, inflation/failing economy, supply chain disruptions, cyber attacks, international tensions, etc or even you losing your job…. It is always best to be prepared for you and your family with basic living essentials: food, water, shelter, security/self-defense, energy, warmth, hygiene, first aid, etc..!!
A sizeable solar array would be a good idea. Electric 4x4's and you have mobility for as long as the sun shines.
Glad to hear you are positive thinkers. A bunker is one end of the spectrum of prepping. However, there are levels of prepping. Everyone should be fully prepped for a 3 to 7 day shutdown of bank machines and food supplies- Not that difficult to do. It amazes me how many people can't get through a few days without begging for supplies.
