"The leaking problem is standard on all Rising S bunkers." LOL. Savage!

When I hear Rising S I think septic tanks.

I can imagine how the owners feel after you pointed out all of the problems in their bunkers. They gotta be sick to their stomach and I feel for them.

How is Rising still in business?

I say that these customers get together and file a class action lawsuit against them for handing off a hazardous product that can actually hurt them instead of helping them. Also, for poor quality and craftsmanship. They should get at least part of their money back also since Atlas had to fix everything.

If it ain’t Ron Hubbard or the US Amy Core of engineering. I don’t want nobody else building my bunker 😊 much love Ron Hubbard👊🏾

To the people who actually afford a bunker: You've got to do your homework or hire someone to do the research for you. Take the time to go look at them, hire an expert to go with you, ask for references, check the BBB, look online at company reviews, do comparisons such as realtors do when selling a house. That last bunker was sooooo expensive! I can't imagine having that kind of money. I would love a bunker but I have no money for one. Thanks for the video and giving information to those that can afford a bunker.

Six years old? It looks fifty years old.

@Atlas Survival Shelters, Ron you should buy some property and put in some of your bunkers and turn them into Air Bnb! Just don’t get hooked up with air bnb, they are a nightmare. You’d make a killing if it’s in the vicinity of DFW. Guaranteed a money making deal and the best hands on promotion ever!

Didnt they take you to court and try to get you to stop posting about them. F them show there shoddy work. get them shut down

Hey Ron, just wondering if you could make a really long ramp instead of stairs for this guy. That would make it a lot easier for him in the future if he was in a wheelchair. I realize that the materials would be a lot more due to the added length. I would also imagine that the door would have to be longer to make the angle. One of your bunkers is in my dreams…..

“Failing S Bunkers” lol 😂

Rising “S”, like they say “💩always rises to the top” 😂😂😂

Daily reminder that Matt Carriker would sell his soul if the price is right.

Bunker nightmares lol

Why not show before and after you fix them?

I wonder what their better business bureau report looks like. every rising s owner needs to file negative bbb reports and write up bad yelp reports on rising s.

Clyde Scott must have so much negative karma with all the people he has screwed over

It is damn good to see you looking hale and hearty several years after your health issue! We need you above ground, so to speak. Have you ever installed a ramp instead of stairs for the bunker entrance?

If I ever find the money, I am calling YOU! I always thought dooms day bunkers were just big coffins anyway, but after seeing this video and a few others of yours, my eyes are OPEN! Thanks for enlightening me!

Any update on the first guys bunker fixes?

all these costumers should do a class action lawsuit against Rising Ass Bunkers and get them out of business for good.

I would like to see the AFTER for those bunkers, how do they look after you fix them. I always think the same when you showwed those in past videos.

Interesting thing about those doors those marine-grade doors you have when they replace one on a ship it has to be both pieces the door and the frame around it

It’s like they want people to be un-alive in their bunkers. How they stay in business is unbelievable.

Awesome Video Ron

It is about location and ground prep. I don't care what you build if you put it in a swamp or water run off area it will always fail. The same with your air ventilation.

not even smoothing the concrete is a nice touch probably never even vibrated it

Does rising charge extra for the flooding or is it free

Holy poop Ron 😳! Thanks for the insight!

You would think it would be cheaper to pull out the garbage bunker and install a new Atlas bunker. I just don't see anything worth salvaging from these Rising S bunkers. That last one, WOW, a death trap. Go to sleep, never wake up again.

If I have to have a Rising S bunker or face radiation outside on my own, I will rather be outside. 160K US$???? Wasted.

Imagine trying to get down those steps in a hurry!

Good info. I couldn’t afford a shelter but if I could Id call you.

Sad people build total crap like this and people are let down so badly.

It would be really interesting to see an actual video (or even a series) of you fixing the bunkers for these folks

Rising s offers the Swiss air filtration with hand crank. They charge more for it. I think in many cases the customer is opting for cheaper stuff. They offer less steep stairs. They offer fully welded 3/8 walls. They offer 4x4 exterior skeleton on 24 inch centers. They offer outwards opening blast doors. The one thing I haven't seen is downward opening sand filled escape hatches. I just looked their website over and see all of these things. I didn't see 8 foot ceilings offered. I think the customer is cheaping out in a lot of what you see. They haven't saved to get the good stuff from them. They save afterwards and pay you to fix what they bought originally.

I get everyone in America wants a bunker but what I dont get is how do you know when the bombs fall your shelter will protect you for certain how do you know if a fault in the equipment isn’t present. I like the idea of them but to be fair I think I’d rather succumb to the bombs I’m unlikely to feel it as I implode and I’d rather that than the disorder that comes after it’s safe to come back to the top and that could be hundreds of years no bunker will hold that much food and supplies, great idea I live them just can’t see that everyone will survive fallout in one, it would be hard to test them or others

Hi. You could make a video of the restoring process...what do you think?

Why hide the escape hatch when its 6 feet from the entrance?

Not sure why this video was recommended to me, but I’m buying a bunker now!

Has anybody got evidence that atlas shelters have failed? Somebody might say something without proof, but so far all i see is people saying he's casting too much shade on Rising S, which to be fair, the conditions of these are very much life threatening if you had to use them, even just to live in it for a week, and they need to be called out and sued. I've never heard of nor seen an Atlas take on water, get rusty, mildew, mold, bend, or break in any way. Granted not many have truly used them to live in, but still.

56:58 “It’s simple science!” “ it’s mechanical engineering, but it’s not rocket science.” .. good summation. I pretty sure the company does not even have a singular competent tradesman of any sort involved. Assembly facilities must be horror shows. 😮

That one with the unfinished concrete slab on top was pure garbage... How in the hell someone paid for that is beyond me, I would have seen them in court 💯 . Thank you for bringing this company to our attention so more people don't get screwed... They should be ashamed for taking people money and building this bullshit in return.

When I win the lottery i'll be getting an Atlas shelter for me and the family. I'll get a Rising S one for the mother in law 😂

Well... Some of these bunkers, beyond just the workmanship, have just become another junk stuffed basement.

In my opinion, this needs a class action to better protect people with a view to improving RS manufacturing processes. Whilst I’m certain Atlas charges rectification fees, rightly so, I’m certainly glad they identify and provide rectification advice to these customers. Well done Atlas.

There is disagreement all over the country about which way doors should open. Doors that open out are harder to break in. But they also can be blocked by debris, trspping the occupant inside. Doors opening inward, allow to to dig out past debris.

The guys that built these bad bunkers should be jailed.😮

Sounds like you should just advise to fill it in/ tear it out and get a new one. For all of them. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

I've never heard of Rising S bomb shelters until watching this video, but I can say that I'm not impressed with the level of quality and workmanship that went into these shelters. At least some of them that are in good shape can be used as storm shelters, but it's another thing when you're trying to ride out the end of the world. Rising S will not get my business anytime soon.

The people who purchased from rising s needs to sue them.

USING YOUR ENTIRE BUNKER AS YOUR WATER STORAGE, WHAT A GREAT IDEA!! TOO BAD IT MAKES YOUR BUNKER JUST AN UNDERGROUND WATER TANK.

If you can afford to have a bunker , dig the hole so that you have a miniimum of 10 ft of concrete above the bunker . Governments build bunkers into mountains for a reason

Ron in the video bunker number 8 with all the food and water and stuff and the propane in the bunker where do you sleep at I did not see a single place for a bed there's no room in the bunker that is why it's so important to have under the floor storage room

Wow, I would be one pissed off mofo, I would be getting my money back or a new bunker, not from rising s or I would be using the bunker for bodies and covering it up for good, since you can’t use it anyway.. I always loved the craftsmanship of the work I see you guy’s doing.. And after watching this video and seeing the difference from you guys and Rising S, it’s like night and day..

HVAC is the hardest part of building a house and it's the hardest part of building a bunker. You have to have a great sump pump system and drain pipes that drains everything under the bunker. Mine is all concrete. I still haven't finished the HVAC to my satisfaction. If you try to build you own I highly recommend buying the swiss air system from Ron.

I mean we all get they suck but it seems you are more focused now on ruining them (which they should be) but I miss the old videos of the bunkers being fabricated and installed

Do those goofy zig zag steps actually serve a purpose?

They guarantee 1/4" and give you less. That is grounds for them getting sued. The family coffin that rising scrap put out is just not worth it. If they would offer me one for free, I would decline.

I own a Machine shop and fab shop I would be ashamed if products left my shop this way, this is just pure lazyness on the manufacture. Great video

I'm gonna check around the auctions for a de-commissioned submarine for my shelter 🤣

28:51 The thing to probably do there would be steel pipes going outside above the house roof. I don't know how much air somebody could draw from what might be a rubble pile in a real disaster.

Just looked at a REAL Bunker door which you can buy in Germany or Switzerland (to Swiss standard). The door is 20cm thick and the steel frame of the door alone weights 200Kg... But after installation you are supposed to fill the door (20cm!) all with concrete. And now I see these flimsy doors...

I did like the shelf doors made it well hidden

The chalk and the channel being upside down seem like good ideas to me, might be the only good ideas.

now i know to stay far away from rising s sound like some bad guys from fallout

witches steps was the last thing I would expect in a bunker

I feel like i I feel I've seen some of these before.

Don’t understand how there still in business and not chapter 11 from being sued to oblivion. They must have an army of attorneys on retainer

Would plastic or UPVC pipes not just melt in an air burst say 20 miles away?

Better to spend the extra money and actually survive the apocalypse !!

I'm in an area where I'm down side of a dam Is there a bunker that will be completely water tight if there's a flood but also works if there's a nuclear attack

A six year old must have welded those crappy welds

If I had a shelter like these, I would definitely keep a concrete saw down there!

How are these people still getting away with this? Half million dollars??😮. Did you see the door latch? Joke 😃

I just don't understand how people are going to spend this kind of money and not do the research. I do not feel bad for any of these people for buying a Rising S bunker. Hell, you can go in to an Atlas bunker that was installed 20 years ago and it'll look like it was installed last week.

Hey I had a question, have you ever done a basement garage ?. What about skylights ?. Looking for multipurpose bay for a big trailer, 60 feet by 16 feet w, 12 foot celing made of concrete walls, 16 foot I beam. Not sure about door options or window options, bunker option. Doors would need to be massive, for a bunker and then we need air filtration etc. The garage alone, gives you a pretty solid off grid crash pad. This is what I want, a basement garage with skylights. It would be a expensive utility building but, worth it once you have it. I don't need a view to sleep anyways, or even windows, so it would be more efficient to be under ground with my trailer. I would just put a 450l cooler in the floor, underneath the I-Beam so I can just pick them out, with a hoist and load them back down into the floor, out of sight and out of mind, then we can even put a sump pump down in there, a drain. Nobody will suspect your pump room, is also your safe room, it will look nasty in there, they will see a pump and reservoir and they will likely move on, but you can put coolers wherever you want, including wet and nasty locations. Whatever is inside a cooler like that, will stay in pristine condition without any oxygen or moisture exposure to the elements. Plus, you could lock the hatch door and then park a car over the top or piece of equipment, a tractor something. Ends up being more secure than a bank vault, possibly. Who's going to know it's there, yo move the tractor and get to the pump room !. Maybe, but they would need to work hard just to get in there, then be like oh it's a nasty pump room, then around the corner you keep the boxes of gold and diamonds. Then, you open door and trigger the alarm, you are greeted by a swarm of inbred fossorial Tarantulas. Just get a speaker down there that starts playing "No one here gets out alive", Jim Morrison, as smoke starts to erupt from the walls. What you do now ?. Follow the lights if you want to live, into the fake escape tunnel.

Lol, the blue shirt guy telling you how the bomb shelter should be and he bought a junk shelter.

Rising S ... what does the S stand for? I could guess.

It's a shame people just aren't informed. I wish you could the country, world if possible to hear your company's story and policies. Look I'm no shill, and I don't expect to sell anything I wouldn't sell to my own mother. You think I'd allow my mom my own MOTHER to put a Rising S shelter in her yard? Hahahaha I'm SO glad I stumbled across you a few years ago, I know when the time comes your company will be the one we call for our shelter. No questions about that.

Bunkers should have 2 exit points

the leaking is a feature, figuratively and literally

Measuring radiation is in RAD or REM! Rankine is absolute temperature scale.

"Three crosses, does that mean you will die three times in your bunkers?" This was an actual comment on one of their videos. How are they not able to be sued? I don't understand that.

Can any of these companies be sued and taken to court for the workmanship those welds are horrific definitely not qualified welders.hello from Ireland 😄👍☘️🇮🇪

Imagine staying 14-28 days in number #3 ):

Someone needs to make bad bunkers so that the rest of us can better appreciate good bunkers lol.

Omg absolute junk! It's shameful and imo criminal for a company to put their customers at this level of risk. I feel bad for the people who were ripped off!

Sandblasting and repainting not going to help. That rust will return. Need to remove and replace. Unbelievably awful!!

Much prefer seeing good bunkers.

I think there could be good business in disabled accessible bunkers.

Sue aside bunker

Most people have pets. It would be cool to have a room to mimic a small area so dogs can poop.

The amount of videos Ron has released on the terrible builds of Rising S I'm starting to not even blame Rising S anymore. I blame the people who are constantly buying from them and keeping them in business imagine you wanting to build a survival shelter and as you're doing your research you settle on the cheapest price and with no further research into why they're cheaper not looking at reviews and any other evidence they go with the cheaper option . I blame the dumb customers at this point a Chinese built knock off would be better than Rising S .

My bunker looks just like those crappy ones you showed............and I love it!!❤❤❤

So sad - but a fool and their money is soon parted.

I don't see the water line from the flooding

Is possible to build a 7 floor underground bunker

Sadly rising shit was featured in a documentary on various bunkers. They are pathetic. A world of difference. I won't speak ill of their OLD customers but if you're a NEW customer and you don't do due diligence and see their multiple issues that's on you. 100-200k I'm doing my research. Ron is the best.
