You need to watch Collin Furze, who built a custom bunker. Crazy insanely good video, its 2.5 hours long, but one of the most entertaining videos I ever watched. I'm sure he's got some ideas you could use for your bunker.
Technically he built a tunnel. Though this project could use a tunnel to have one of the entrances start in the garage and the other in the house. And it needs an elevator on both ends of course, not a ladder.
He probably has made a lot of research from Atlas Survival Shelters, Round Culvert Bunkers, a top seller, from bedding, drainage, blast valves, check valves against tampering, 6 dog airtight bullet proof door, the angle on the intake and exhaust pipes so no fluids can enter and condensation travels down this angle and not into the air filtrations system intake. Really a cost effective design.
The main thing that I would do differently here is to add in a second subfloor along with strategically located access hatches to make a huge underfloor storage area. Having that large storage area means that in the event that you do actually want to use this bunker as a long term shelter then you can store a lot of food and other supplies in there while still maximising the available living space for the inhabitants (very important for the longterm mental health). You want that second subfloor in there to help protect your storage from any water ingress that will pool at the very bottom (along with any potential longterm condensation) and because it is much easier to store and access supplies on a flat surface. Something else you could do is to add a large bladder underneath that subfloor and use that for bulk water storage. This would likely need to be a custom design (i.e. expensive) so that you utilise the entire area while going around the floor supports.
This project is certainly bigger than the hummer! I've previously made plans to dig out a crawlspace in my home. It must be to fulfill the childhood dreams of digging to the bottom of the sandbox.
I love underground content. Been watching that other guys tunnel videos and really wish it was as easy as yall make it look. I am glad you are doing running total, and hope you would include machine rental in it. Look forward to this series, and think the culvert pipe is ingenious
Glad to be here on this channel after so many years! Very excited for this project las one i saw was lego crane that was built, life came along way since then! All the best!
With the baby born in June - it was just too crazy to film the garden project. We did plant and harvest - but we didnt film it this year. Next year we will film it again though!
@@JerryRigEverything That’s understandable. I’ll look forward to next years. It’s honestly become one of the favorite things you post in the years since you started. Hope you got lots of good stuff this year and not too many or too little pumpkins! Much love to you and your beautiful family!
In Estonia we have a warehouse/factory for similar pipes and i've always thought of this type of usage for them from the day i saw them, modular, different diameters and multi layered, certainly an affordable way to build anything underground.
How tall are those pipes? Because you'll want something at least 3 meter tall inside to give you enough room, especially because the actual internal heighth will end up quite a bit less due to the curved walls, floor and ceiling. Normally when they bury those pipes underground for bunkers they place wooden frames that are 50-70 cm tall in the center and on which wooden boards are placed which become the floor. That way you'll have a nice flat floor with a lot of storage space in the floor for food and what not. But of course that does mean that the internal height also becomes 50-70 cm less.
@@pieterveenders9793 from their page i got the info that may be fitting for you, "Krah pipes can be produced steplessly at intervals of 100mm with internal diameters (ID) ranging from DN/ID 300mm to DN/ID 5000mm" seems like 3m will be right down your alley, but i'd suggest looking through other sources for the proper information, as I've only ever driven past there, you are best off trying their site, company is Krah pipes, I am sure you can find it easily.
Wow, it is remarkable how much prices have gone up. Corrugated steel tubes are definitely the way to go if you want cheap and fast while still being good enough, even if prices have gone up an absolute ton.
Incredible video, I love how you kept it short but still was able to condense so much of your thought process into it! A great spin pn Colin Furze's bunker!
1:50 - “service life of 100 years” - that is amazing! What do the code inspectors think about the $32k worth of underground pipes being buried in an 18’ hole 🕳️???
@@JerryRigEverything on a similar note - are you following anything, or getting something done professionally for the safety rating of the emergency exit? I don't actually know if an accessible emergency exit system exists?
Love the enthusiasm. This build reminds of Colin Furze bunker project from several years back. I followed that with a lot of interest and look forward to going on this journey with you.
First time i see you promoting solidworks! Ive been a fan since the start of the whisper project and never noticed youre sponsored by them! I also am in college and use it! Alr have the 3d modeling certificate provided by themselves! :)
"Your mom" jokes? Seriously? Well others can do that too: Your mother is such a supportive individual that when I told her I was feeling down, she promptly suggested we have a cup of tea and discuss our feelings. She truly has a heart of gold.
I think the biggest risk that you may have overlooked here is Archimede… I’m saying this from experience burying cisterns. When a cistern is empty and it’s raining a lot, or the surrounding material is very loose, the empty cavity behaves like a bubble in water and shoots up. The upward force can be really incredible and is rather easy to calculate.
Don’t forget to run a small electrical charge through the metal pipe. It helps hold off corrosion.

Now i just want to see colin doing a durability test on this one and see these two dudes nerding out about making a bunker. I could even see a video like "differences between doing a bunker in the US vs UK"
Atlas survival shelters has a good analog to this type of corrugated tube bunker. The most important parts are gas tight doors, a proper ventilation system and sufficient depth into the ground.
So glad you mentioned an elevator, spent the whole video wondering how wheelchair access would have worked and would have had me bugged till part 2 . After watching the furze do his for months would have been agonising.
I know I'm watching this late & you've probably done a whole lot already since I'm just starting this series but I hope you'll consider doing an elevator or lift of some kind on both ends, one that you can run if the power fails (pull pulley system of some sort) because if there ever happens to be a fire while your wife is down there, she needs to be able to somehow evacuate if the fire is blocking the elevator. If the fire moves fast & takes out the electrical system, she should still have a way to get out & I'm going to hazard a guess that she'd have a super difficult time trying to climb a ladder with just using her arms. If this happened while you ran into the house for something & your wife (& child) decided to wait there, she needs a way to evacuate herself. You should also make sure she has a reliable way to do that from the 2nd floor of your house with your kid if you aren't home. You don't want her to use an elevator tied into the electric cuz those shut off when the fire breaches certain wires. She easily could be stuck inside that glass box between the floors watching what is coming & utterly helpless to do anything because she's trapped. She couldn't save your kid & that would be terrifying for her. You seem like a guy who values safety & likes to plan ahead so this is something to consider that you may not have yet.
Make sure you include in the design to have a 1 ft Gap under the entrance to the tunnel. Like having a steel grate floor or a deck with wider spacing for the cold air to drop in to
Me and my dad did a smaller version of this years ago, 8ft diameter, a comfy enough are but not the end goal for sure, love seeing this! thanks for showing us!

That's probably where he got the idea from... 🤌
Imitation is the best form of flattery as they say...
Hopefully this series includes a tunnel from the house 😎
Furze is probably already digging a transatlantic tunnel to connect them. just take a left at the shed and head 5,000 km down there mate.
bro i was just thinking this is like colins furze's bunker just with a twist to it lol
Oh, all-in on this project. Already wondering if I can get a 5000 SF warehouse underground in my back yard since I can't find one close to me.
Your taxes built a REAL neat bunker just outside of Colorado Springs Colorado. Cheyenne Mountain. I think Space Force is using it currently.
But how would you get massive slabs of walnut in there?
Probably without regard for his back and toes 😂
Don't be silly@@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936, that's where they're hiding the Stargate. 😉
@@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936That's where they keep the Stargate ;)
I have watched Colin Furze build a Bunker, I Can't wait to watch your Bunker build. This is going to be epic.
Technically he built a tunnel. Though this project could use a tunnel to have one of the entrances start in the garage and the other in the house. And it needs an elevator on both ends of course, not a ladder.
you have obviously not seen the bunker build. The tunnel is newer and will eventually connect to the bunker
@@curtisbme I would call the giant pipe a tunnel.
@@curtisbme no, he built a bunker, with tunnel access, and now he's adding an underground garage for the DeLorean... way better channel!
@@curtisbmehe doesn't need a lift, he's a Brit and not lazy
Make sure that there is enough soil above the tubes so that your grass does not die at the slightest dry spell.
6ft should be more than enough
How deep is the soil over Colin Furze's bunker?
Can’t get enough of underground building content, so glad that you and Colin Furze have those going on so I won’t run out for a while 👌🏼
Will the bunker scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7?
only one way to find out....
only one way to find out....
Is best comment in a long time!!!
@@JerryRigEverythingyes
😂
Water infiltration is your biggest enemy, be sure you are bedding, draining, and sealing properly. I’m enjoying all your content, have a great day!

You need to start selling tickets to see this in person. I’d be first in line. Incredible project!
Free for you my friend! Come over any time
@@JerryRigEverythingso let’s name the bunker “Jerry” , shall we?
what is the address?
With popcorn in hand 😂😂

Good ideas! We will try to do both of those things
“We should be finished, by the time we’re finished.”
I love that.
“How many projects can you do at the same time?”
Jerry : Yes
His real name is Zack not Jerry. ☝️🤓
@@Octoman_YTHe acknowledges it as a nickname, as seen in his Humvee series.
I know im only joking@@dewannaeem7283
This is going to be an amazing project! I want a sleepover pls.
I think you need to see what’s inside it.
This project is certainly bigger than the hummer! I've previously made plans to dig out a crawlspace in my home. It must be to fulfill the childhood dreams of digging to the bottom of the sandbox.
We made it to the bottom of mine once. Then we filled it with water and made a "swimming pool". My mom was thrilled 😂
@redstar1230 Zack, not Jerry
I got really nervous about the white fence when they were transporting it in. Those guys are real professionals
The white fence survived this video, but not video coming out this week…
Colin has made an amazing one, tunnel under his whole house.. now making underground garage
I bet Cambry was thrilled when she heard about these plans 😂
She was like "here we go again..."
unless he also installs an elevator for her to get down. He wouldn't dare to dig an apocalypse-bunker that's not wife-compatible :p
no@@redstar1230
I really want to see her reaction. Looking forward to seeing the progress and results.
What is she gonna do, run up to him and tell him not to 😂
Awesome project! I can't wait to see the process!
Self sufficient underground bunker😮
This is going to fun to watch. I have been in the culvert sales 25 years in Mississippi
You might get a few more sales after this…
it been a few years. lols. Most are 40 footers with a 48" shafts going down to a 60" pipe as a transition from vertical to horizon
I love underground content. Been watching that other guys tunnel videos and really wish it was as easy as yall make it look. I am glad you are doing running total, and hope you would include machine rental in it. Look forward to this series, and think the culvert pipe is ingenious
Really like the pop can example 😁
Imagine if this was a Colin Furze colab. Hes made a bunker already.
Sat here scrolling for a good two minutes JUST to find this comment. It will be interesting to see how different they end up
@@pooeyyeoop1 one will be good and one will be a tube under ground
Child Zack is so proud right now after seeing what adult Zack is doing to finally dig that whole he always wanted to
Is he gonna drop a nuke on it for the stress test?
Probably 😂
BOTS ARE EVERYWHERE 😢
Scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7
Catgang
Wanted to do something like this all my life. Can't wait to see how it turns out. We install this professionally for stormwater all the time.
Good thing the neighbors won’t be suspicious at all with all that heavy equipment rolling in ;)
"We should be finished by the time we are finished." 😂 Thanks Zach. I thought it was going to be incomplete when you finished it.
Glad to be here on this channel after so many years!
Very excited for this project las one i saw was lego crane that was built, life came along way since then!
All the best!
This is going to be really interesting to watch from start to finish. Also, did you do garden videos this year?

Yeah. Lost me at the price of the tubing. Lol
This project will be expensive anyway, but i was surprised at the price of the pipe as well, seemed high.
@@navithefairyshipping is probably 25% of the price
@@TheCarpenterUnion Especially given the weight.
@@TheCarpenterUnionculvert is just super expensive, shipping wouldn’t be 25%
That is AMAZING ; can't wait to see more!!
I hope you use that under-floor space for storage with some access hatches dotted around the floor!

❤ “We probably should be finished when we’re finished” …story of my life 😅
First time to see your channel but I'm seriously hyped for this project. Much love from England
That’s awesome!
I love how all my favorite TH-camrs/TikTokers are building underground structures. Very good content.
Maybe there's a good reason for that? 🤔
Will it have an elevator so your wife can access it? Love your content!
Yup!!
@@JerryRigEverything on a similar note - are you following anything, or getting something done professionally for the safety rating of the emergency exit? I don't actually know if an accessible emergency exit system exists?
Colin Furze made me really enjoy people making their own underground tunnels and bunkers.
You will finish when you are finished. I like that.
Jerry is living the dream... sharpening my machete alone in my bunker eating canned corn while my hair and nails grow out would be heaven.
Love the enthusiasm. This build reminds of Colin Furze bunker project from several years back. I followed that with a lot of interest and look forward to going on this journey with you.

I've grown more and more anxious over the years.. If something big is going to happen. Most of us are pretty much screwed.
Gleaming the Cube vibes.
you crack me up dude, best of luck on the project.
Collins bunker is pretty cool and very entertaining guy to watch.
Waiting to see someone build a bunker from ICF and LiteDeck. That's how I plan to build my next home, and I'm 100% going to add some extra depth...
"We should be finished by the time we're finished." I've got to hold onto that one.

Nice one jerry,now i see what has been keeping you busy.
Jerry, you're awesome! Found out how my Fold5 looks inside two months ago, learning how to make a bunker today. 😅
Perfect opportunity to run some piping for a ground source heat pump
LOVE BIG BUDGET PROJECTS LIKE THIS
I tapped the bell icon on this video, and it will be interesting to watch the whole project.
Collin Furze's fan spoooootteeeed ! Actually...
you have good taste ! :D
love this and excited to follow along
An exciting craze project, god for you

Crazy how bump review got me here 👍
I've always fantasized about having an underground bunker... you are literally living my dream.
A big thanks to the kid for giving help.
I just found your channel. Love the content!!! Super funny!!! Extremely interesting and informative!! I’m sold .
I love your projects man. You put a smile on my face all the time. 👍👍
Man with hard DIY projects ❤❤❤
I love these build series that keep us waiting for the next episode!
yo please consider reuploading this series in a single video, would be helpful to queue it in mediashare on livestreams
I look forward to seeing the first wheelchair accessible bunker! Very cool!!
Props for wearing one of the coolest watches ever made the Casio F-91W
Thanks for tranlation
Obrigado pela tradução 🇧🇷
always a fan of your projects ,small garden now thisss impressive Jerry
„We should be finished by the time we’re finished” exactly my response to my boss when he asks me when I will finish my job.
Chillout workshopish bunker sounds kinds nice
Should've gotten a sodcutter! Remove all the top grass in strips, keep it somewhere safe, and then put it right back on top to cover everything up!
Just as I finished the HumEV series, he comes out with an even bigger an better project. Jerry has rigged my brain
Lol just got to the price of the tubes, blowing $31k and not having to look back has to be a nice feeling lmaooo
Master storytelling. My kids loved the description of the soda can comparison
Make sure you include in the design to have a 1 ft Gap under the entrance to the tunnel. Like having a steel grate floor or a deck with wider spacing for the cold air to drop in to
Always fun, always classy...always JerryRigEverything.
Looking forward to watching this series unfold.
Call Colin Furze!! He’s definitely the guy to help you with this!!!
