I would have to camouflage my pipe with tree bark. So no one would Recognize what it is.

I spent 92 days straight in a submarine under the sea so I'm up for this.

Once your in the bunker who puts the tarp and the table pieces on top of the bunker, I’m I missing something here

I think there's a lot of us that would do this challenge now...

Dude needs to rig the table up as all part of the hatch. Also could use a battery operated cam to see who is snooping around. Last, that air intake pipe needs to be hidden better.

Amazing you have the air filtration from Switzerland 🇨🇭. I work in that company that built them. Awesome to see it on KZfaq

Lots of good comments. I think a 'fake tree stump' with a lot of ventilation holes but disguised fit over the vent tube would do it. Also build the old picnic table into the hatch so when closed it looks like a picnic table. You could use an air cannon set up to throw leaves and stuff over it on a timer or something.

As a Fallout fan, I'd be glad to do a 30 day challenge in that bunker

It would be like a 30-day vacation away from society. Peace and quiet nothing to do but read books and talk to your family. Please pick me thank you.

It’s nearly perfect. Nearly. Get rid of the picnic table and chairs. Weld a 3” deep box on top of the door and fill it will soil and vegetation. Paint the air pipe a more neutral colour and maybe cover it with bark and plant some more bushes around. You can’t attack what you don’t know is there.

That's about the nicest one family Underground bunker I've ever seen! Just as comfortable as some of those luxury ones. It was so cool I had to back it up and watch it all over again. If I ever have one made, I want one just like that!

Who is going to cover up the entrance once you are inside?

Now that's an interesting challenge indeed. My teenagers and I would have a good time getting back to basics.

Sounds like it would be a great way to visualize how well these shelters really work.

I love the idea of the space and comfort put into this safe place, it will help me with the horrible dreams I have had sense childhood.. The storm damage was traumatic. This home has everything wed need for several days after hurricane. No longer fear a storm is a blessing for my family and our small dog. we could keep supplied and stay ready, Awesome.

Reminds me of John Goodman’s place in cloverfield lane

Love the videos and thanks for putting the challenge out there for us!

im not a prepper or anything (yet) but i love watching your videos

How would you disguise the entrance after you're inside?

What's the power source? If it's connected to the grid in any way this thing is useless in a real post nuclear disaster. No power= no filtration, lights, or heat. Basically just a really cool but really expensive man cave.

I subscribed to your channel a while ago after watching a Canadian Prepper video interview with you. The information you put out is excellent with info on things I never considered before, Thanks!...I've been prepping for 7 years now

That's freaking awesome. I would LOVE to have a little bunker like this in my backyard. The only problem would have to be my 9 year old girl & 2 year old boy... I seriously doubt they would last 30 days in an underground bunker like that. But... HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT?!

Yep, no one will ever suspect a bunch of upside down picnic tables lol

The problem with these hidden bunkers, is that you still need to run pipes to the outside. That is a dead giveaway that there is something under the ground nearby. The other thing is that you still need to get restock water from somewhere.

I have a 2000 gal concrete septic tank (unused) buried under a shed. It's 10'X6'X6', the cost was $2500 for 360 cubic feet of secret storage.

I'm actually writing a post-apocalyptic/dystopian novel. I wouldn't mind the added novel ideas even if my fiancé wouldn't accompany me. 30-days without me may drive him crazy. Fun idea.

Ron, can you show videos of your old bunkers that are 5+ years old? I would like to know how they hold up to water and moisture. You never show pictures of your old bunkers but are very proud of your new ones. Your bunkers are the best but I want to see what we can do to fight water since water ALLWAYS wins in the end. Anyway, keep up the great videos, I love your bunkers and vids of them.

Great job prepping and great job covering the hatch but the exposed exhaust pipes will hint off at something being buried there. So camouflage but do not completely block the air flow to the pipes and your bunker will be completely out of site

How exactly do you power one of these bunkers? It seems these bunkers are great if there is power, but in a world that goes to shit....

I'm a hobo from NY - That shelter beats a box car on a freight train👍

This is awesome! I don’t think you can be to prepared these days. But my question is what happens if there’s a flood? I would want a water tight door.

If this contest is still active, my family of 4 would love to do this. Thanks for the great videos you post.

Would love to live in one. Been wanting one myself!

Such a cool bunker, and all the other atlas bunkers!

Wow! So very much of perfection! I really do love everything about this. I know this video is a couple years old but I am searching for ideas because the end is upon us more than people realizes. I am 34 years old I'm a single mom to 5 kids and the 2 youngest have special needs ADHD, Learning and speech disability and the youngest with autism, and other disabilities. No matter what I'm doing all I can and always will for my babies! They're all so special and precious. I don't have that kind of money I barely pay the bills but 🙏 God helps guide me ❤😊🕊 I'm glad I found your video it helps me remember things I needed to know. I purchased a 3 man tent on sale through Walmart also I'm saving as much can foods as possible. I know going to the woods in the mountains which surrounds me won't be much good for shelter no way to have a system. I have faith God will continue by my side and lead me through! Thank you for the video it's came in handy still 2 years later 😀

Add an old van over the hatch. The van can cover the air vent as well. No windshield and a false floor. Plant vines around it. Stage an old washer and dryer to add to the abandoned effect. Enter via the back doors of the van. Maybe even hide a security camera in there...

Here's the problem...everyone is so invested in the apocalypse, that the shit might actually happen this time :-/

I will totally want this!

Your bunkers are great!!! My Aunt loves hers 👍🏽

That's so cool , i would love that in my backyard . ( Disguise the air pipe As a tree stump ,or in a Brick pile , you get the idea , ) It's fantastic ..👍👍👍

Hey bud, these videos are great thanks for sharing. I wish I could afford these kind of big boy toys! Some day... Anyways, hey have you ever thought about doing a show along with 'The Lockpicking Lawyer' to see if he can gain access to a bunker? I'm sure he could provide some great insight on security aspects. I'm thinking about trying an off-the-grid style tiny home build, maybe partially underground and using as much locally sourced materials and reclaimed supplies as possible. If you had any sort of videos on how to achieve some level of underground comfort 'on a budget', I would find that very interesting. I did already watch your septic-tank-as-a-cache video and that's a neat start but I don't think it'll work for what I'm trying to do.

I wood love to bunker down challenge for 30 days or more. Lol. I want in. Love your channel, aswell as the bunkers.

Now it's a good time for that tour and 30 days trial, where do I sign up?

I can't believe that's an 8 year old bunker, looks like brand new! That's the real sign of a quality build! I can't wait to buy my Atlas!

What a cool promotion, is this still ongoing? Great idea!!!

We would love the opportunity to try it out. A learning experience before it became reality.

I would absolutely LOVEEEEEEEE to do this! My children would be absolutely thrilled!

My husband and I are both seniors and we have overcome a lot of challenges in life but this is something we do need to practice to see if we could survive if something would happen.

I would love the 30 day challenge, my husband passed away 6 weeks ago and I normally work 80-90 hours a week and no matter how much you work, it's never enough for employers. It would be such a relief to get the solace to read, enjoy my sons and reconnect with me (after 8 years of caring for my husband 24/7 before he died, I've forgotten who I was before) I would love the challenge and since I have been a prepper for the past 2 years, I'm sure it would be an eye opener into our future. Please enter me. Thanks and I always enjoy your videos. I saw this bunker in one of your earlier videos as it's for sale. Great hiding place.

This is awesome I love how it shows the family. Gives you a better understanding on the love and protection this bunker was built for. Thank you for showing us.

I love this. Id love to spend time in a bunkervwith my family. It would be like a vacation away from this pandemic and all the craziness in our country right now. My husband and I have talked a lot about trying to build one.

I'm so in love with this shelter... 😍 Perhaps you could do some videos showing how to make some post-apocalyptic dishes? 😁

That would be a dream come true. I can't afford any of that. My family and I. Would Love to be picked for that kind of prize.

No matter how strong those entry doors and lots of supply it's irrelevant once the air intake is blocked . Suffocation is imminent

I don’t think there will be much on the telly if doomsday arrives

We would love to stay in the bunker for 39 days! Awesome video!!

A few weeks ago, my family and I tried out a little of our survival food, just to see what it tastes like. Over time We have bought 6 months worth for 4 people. The survival food was not bad! But I would definitely make sure you have spices! They can be a little bland! But I will say, it was pretty good! We use NuManna food for prepping.

Hella way to get a free pizza .. They will never find this place in 30 minutes

Great Video! thanks fr all of your hard work.

This guys are happy to finally use this buncker

I would love to spend 30-days in a shelter... But I have a full time job and there is no way I could get 30 days off... How about 3 days in a septic tank set up as a shelter???

A real Atlas shelter with a hidden hatch,...and now the whole world knows about it.

when he said he really prepped i saw a coors light case lol

Have you ever thought about adding greenhouses to your builds to make them more self sufficient?

I WANT TO SIGN UP . HEY DOES THE BUNKER HAVE A TV AND CABLE ? IAM IN LOL

I'm prepping for eternal life.

OUTSTANDING! GREAT DETAIL!

The air pipe looks a lot like the air cleaners on old cat equipment. Pretty neat. If you have a spare dozer it would be easy to hide your inlet lol.

Can my wife go with out me ?

I Will Not Go Into A Bunker For 30 Days Because I Would Go Bunkers! But You Will Find Someone. I Just Know It! Thank You For The Vid!

The problem with this setup is that you have to reveal the hatch when you enter the bunker. So anyone who is looking for it will have no problem finding it. You need some camouflage that covers the hatch after you enter.

Nice, sure hate I didn't see this in March of 2019. I'd would have loved this challenge!

I've recently been dreaming about owning a bunker like one of these. I have no idea why because I live in the UK and we really don't need one for storms or anything like that but I think they're cozy and fun! I wouldn't want to spend 30 days in one but a week could be interesting. I think I'd really miss a proper working toilet really fast though.

Me an my family would love to spend 30 days in the bunker

Great this video happy New Year to you

This is amazing.... I need to invest one into my backyard... Just never know🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

I would stay in that bunker for 30 days, but better is to stay in my own. I’ll get one someday.

Challenge accepted! Would love to spend 30 days away from society!

Thank you for the tour. Very cool

I could totally spend 30 days alone down there. As long as I had my meds and essentials, I’m good.

Sign me up! I have six children. All but one potty trained. Am I getting 30 days worth of diapers, too? Amazing contest! Y’all rock!

I will do it for the entire winter , I dont go out when it is cold anyways

Really awesome! Should be hidden better from the outside, plus: a little impractical with the board game’s and fireplace, that’s valuable space for supplies and food

8:26 "it tasted just like my mothers cookie" lol :o

youtube suggesting this during the covid19 peak in the us .. i think they know its doomsday

My family may not want to come out after we spend a month away from the insanity of the world!

I noticed you have a framed image of the Painting: Prince of Peace by Akiane! So cool you have that displayed, God Bless you!

That table etc needs to be attached to that door so when your inside the door is still covered and NOT exposed, just my 2c, awesome build i like 👍

Just a question. Can you have more than 1 air pipe for your bunker or is it limited to one? What happens if someone/something blocks it?

I think a big part of surviving after an apololypse is not being seen or found. The biggest threat a month or two after the event is other humans who want your supplies and food. The last thing you want people to notice while they are foraging/walking around is "Oh hey, look! a survivalist shelter!" I would make my entrance/exit look like a natural rock formation.

I love that new bunker smell. You need to camoflouge the air pipe; make it look like a dead tree maybe.

Wish I knew about this challenge when this vid came out!

He lol bro you just said we still use this couch

Just imagine u do the challenge and suddenly come out to see a real appocalyptic world with no supplies

Send that lock to the lockpickinglawyer... lol

Awesome video thanks for sharing

Purpose for building a bunker: Everyone: volcano eruption, hurricane, tornado... Americans: Zombies. The world is in danger

Without question my son, myself and my dog Sherlock are down like four flats and a spare! I would love the opportunity to see if it's humanly possible for someone to do without going absolutely insane. Though, I think it might be a good idea to attempt to try just me and my dog.

I’d spend the time down in that bunker! Sounds like fun and challenge accepted!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video
