Americans are gonna need those bunkers soon!

Enjoy the new longer video format, now it's more like an episode rather than a 15 min showcase. props!

I remember when you first started out in business. You sure have come a long way. A good product and great customer service always wins in the end. Congrats.

A lot of attention to detail while keeping it simple. Everything seems to be thought about, everything well built, and I was surprised by the cost of it. Also, I tried to think about the “what if’s” when building or planning anything, and you had a solution for my “what ifs”. A job well done sir 👍

Matt and CO are good people and Ron and CO are good people. For whatever reason, it just didn't' work out. Everybody should stop being butthurt about it and move on.

At 10:50, make sure next time when using steel chockers to put a guard around where it rubs on the edge as you lift. So when it moves, it won’t mess up the coating. I was on an iron crew up north building gas plant a while back. Rigging is fun and hard work! Some of the shackles can be very heavy!

Without an escape tunnel it's just another fancy tomb. If the building on top of the bunker collapses around it or malevolent marauders discover your bunker and decide to seal you in...not fool proof.

I also want a periscope in my bunker with a telescopic screw system so when and if the cameras and electricity fail I will be able to see inside out in all directions 360-G ° with night vision and infrared

You truly think, consider, and deeply plan every step of your bunkers!

Great bunker but master locks locks are junk and can be picked in seconds... look at abus locks or abloy with a disc detainer core...

This thing is crazy bad. I gotta show my middle grandson. He's a survivalist. Smart 17 year old young man. High fives atlas. You covered all the bases.

I like this a lot better than the Platinum series. More functional with all that shelf space.

Thanks for sharing your videos. Always love the step by step construction. Just like A-Team,,,,,"Love it when a plan comes together."

If i was to ever be able to afford my own bunker, you sir will be my go to guy.

That baseball cap at 49:50, really spoilt this video. He looks well protected against a zombie outbreak though!

Great video and looks like an awesome product. I must admit this is the first time i've see a crane used and no one is wearing hardhats or safety glasses including the riggers.

Wonder if you could make a hidden ground level intake and exhaust using large to medium stones and ground cover. Would be nice to completely hide all traces with no showing pipes.

the company should have Atlas Survival Shelters in Brazil!

I'm a Pepper too! I also like Coke & Mountain Dew. Laugh in the face of danger. Love yall, Great Video

I would weld a chain to a wrench and weld it to the wall by the escape hatch so it’s always there

I love Rays energy! Man these bunkers are so cool!!

Best bunker ever made

I want a prepper shirt too. And a bunker!

What about duct tape over the intake 4 people inside a day or 2 before they pass out/die? Not knocking your intake nothing is full proof I just like to think outside the box. I'm sure a intake really far away from the hatch would be better as they wouldn't associate it with the bunker especially if you disguise it like a lamp post or something with vents underneath the light or build it inside the walls of the home and make it look like a roof vent.

A very informative video, the design and workmanship is a credit to you all.

gota admit, brings back memories of workin iron...the spud wrench, galvanized everything, boss barkin......good ole days.....

Pops Smith hit the proverbial nail on the head.

Enjoy your Atlas videos and hearing about your products. I wonder what’s the deepest shelter you ever built for a customer? Thanks for being a true patriot👍 - Trump 2020🇺🇸

I hope they never go out of business because one day I’m gonna buy a very big bunker from them! Might be 10-50 years from now but it’s gonna happen!

If I lived in tornado ally I would invest in this bunker most definitely 70,000 is nothing for peice of mind especially for the safety of your family and or friends!!! Great job gentlemen!!!!!!

Ron, you and your products always make me smile. I know if I can afford a home and a shelter someday, you will have my business.

57:48 Is your welder planning to make wine? 🍇

This is awesome. One day I’ll be calling you up to have a bunker built 🤝

Might get around someone padlocking you in, but wait til you're welded in and the check valve, pour cement in it, make no mistake, one can keep you in it forever or make you want to come out no matter what. Also if you're impressed with those welds, let me show ya something.

Smart putting a bigger pad for your outriggers !!!!!!

I really want to see the inside after they stock it with guns an ammo. That's the main reason I came here

That's a friggin good price for what you get! We spend that much on a brand new truck!

I gotta say the quality on these things is just unreal.

He vacuumed it all up and it got dirty again haha

I don't know how it is in Texas but shouldn't you water the dirt a little bit and compact it every 40-60 cm ?

cool stuff, i still would like an emergency exit out of that thing due to threats, fire etc.

fancy coffin

No turn the air pipe two bolt holes to the right, no to the left, no three to the right. LOL

i really liked the ship styled door 🔥

You can't just dump dirt in a hole that deep to fill it. You got to put it in 6 inch lifts and compact each lift. thats going to settle like like crazy.

I think for me an escape hatch is a must

Looks like a $70K tomb, I will certainly go for an above ground defensive plan!

Love watching you go to it.! Ron is on site and always knows what to do...... The heat must be awful. A lot cooler in UK at moment.

Man that’s a lot of welding and those rods ain’t cheap lol. If I ever get the money I’ll have you design and build an ultimate underground compound. Wait a minute that would make a cool video. 👍

I bet a garden hose could overwhelm that valve and it'll still get in the bunker.

Yes you were right Sir!!.. Thinking about the cost of the bunker because that might be the 'something' which viewers would have been wanted at the end of the video. Thank You Sir!!..

Why was “Patented-Technology” in quotations? Are you trying to say it’s not actually patented technology?

Hey Ron, another awesome video I'm almost through them all. Hey what crane you say that was 60ton thats 120.000 pounds . I would have assembled that on the flat ground to save a lot of time. I'm sure there was solid reason you didn't. End bunker looked great buddy.

Talk to the *LockPickingLawyer* on how to get _better_ recommendations for padlocks.

Love when the welder is trying to walk up the steps but boss man is in the way

I enjoy your videos. And you do seem to produce a superior product than the other guy. But, those fasteners will not be there 150 to 200 years from now due to galvanic corrosion. Even encased in concrete, they will corrode. As well will the bolt holes on the bunker. The corrosion will spread until it eats holes through the walls. You should use a polymer type washer and bushings to break the conductivity between the metals as well as installing a few zinc anodes inside. Just some constructive criticism.

Great video! Love the new editing with the music!! Try to look more into the lense of the camera instead of the screen to the side of it. :) as long as ya start in focus, you'll stay in focus. If you are going to be moving around to where you think you might get out of frame just pause a little because you can easily cut out the pauses. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! 😀☢☣

Who else sqwermed just a tad when the dog ran in front of the truck?

Welding is well and good, but Why no rubber gasket of some type at metal-to metal joints? Especially on the air pipe.....

Oh, that's cute. Most preppers severly underestimate amount of water needed for daily survivial. Hint: drinking part is a tiny fraction of a fraction of daily water need. 99% of bunkers I've seen so far don't have a clue about it. This one included.

If someone parks a car on the door, he is there for good

To add security i would cover the outside tubes to look like trees with artificial bark on the trees to hide the external pipes

Well if someone wants to lock you up inside all they need to do is park a truck on top of that hatch and stuff some cloth or paper on those air pipes. Extra precaution would be to build a grate box around the air pipes or disguise them somehow. Also you should have a tunnel with a secondary side exit trough a small emergency hatch several feet away. and a secondary air intake. Wouldn't probably be a bad idea to build some sort of concrete pill box on top with access from the interior so you could protect the entrance.

I hope the buckets full of rocks have drainage holes in the bottom......🤔

Poor guy vacuumed the whole entrance then it got dirty all over again

31:05 LOL, worrying about someone locking you in. Easier than that. Park your 4x4 on the hatch, run a hose from the exhaust pipe to one of those air pipes, and sit back for a half hour. Now you have a bunker.

70k bunker with a master lock :))

Can you still cut through the air pipes? And is the bucket around the check valve sealed in the bottom, or what stops the bucket from filling up with liquid?

How long was that hole open? Interesting to find vegetation down there!

Excellent bunker. For taken out of the series: Fear the walking dead . O r a nuclear war .

one thing i'd mention on interior welding. 36:00 SCBA !!!!! fumes 37:26 can really do some lung damage. ventilation , ventilation, ventilation. On top of Hydraulics, once the structure is built. Maybe a counter weight/pully system above the door or a hand crank winch to aid in lifting the lid manually if the hydraulics ever fail years from now? nice finished product and air system is awesome well thought out

To have such a beautiful, secure product and put a MasterLock on it... it's like the opposite of the "diamond in a goat's ass" anology! Sure the outside of the lock is nice looking and tough, but the core is total garbage. These bunkers deserve a much better lock!

Been looking forward to your videos because of guys like you , I've started my own KZfaq channel GUNSTHRILLS&CHILLS , if I had the money I'd definitely buy one for the best ( atlas )

The guy that hooked the shackles up is the first person besides myself that screwed the pin in all the way and then unscrewed it half a turn. It makes it easy to unscrew later.

Would work well for when tornadoes come too!

It the bad guys chased you into that bunker, wouldn't they just have to put a plastic bag over the air intake and wait you out?

I love how you point out the obvious while the workers are working. Wonder what your staff turnover is like

Workers thoughts...Boss, just shut up and let me work. Boss thoughts...back in the day when I used to install.

Yeah you can tell you and your crew do a great job very neat clean that's it's very nice

When doomsday comes, you will have a fine coffin.

I like your efforts to improve your video, it's just the music at times seems a bit loud and out of place, from the rest of your video.

Crazy to think a rubber pipe cap and a day or 2 and you can have someone's bunker when poo hits the fan.

39:30 love the warning signs in background 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

i love this stuff here in london ontario canada and would love a sined pic

Dam... a master lock on this quality bunker . Is kinda sad.

Beautiful shelter

Do you need a coating specialist for that bunker. I got 34 years applying and sealing steel boxes for several different manufacturers. I got a great job reference and a Iowa work ethic. I hope to hear from ya soon if you want one of the best. I have every aspect of the process as soon as the weld inspection. Complete with the prep for paint through the loading for shipment. 25 years with overhead crane operation and safety company trainer for the last 3 employers.

I like the new format. But could do with silence or really low volume music. The same music over and over gets monotonous. Plus most KZfaq creators use the same or similar music tracks make it even more monotonous. Otherwise great video.

6:19 it's Joe Biden 😂

Very impressive

So to get people out, you seal off the air vents until they eventually need air, you could also put a CO2 gas can under the swan neck to speed things up a bit. If you want them out quicker, put butane down there and light it... they will pop right out of the ground. If you want to lock people in, put a weight on top of the door, if it was a doomsday event and the building fell on the hatch your in your expensive grave..... And all that effort of welding the hatch to the stairs and doing it after you have back filled it, means all that 150yr tar paint is burnt off on the outside. If you put a seal gasket between the stairs and bunker it would have sealed just as well with no damage to the paint work. There are steam boilers that are hundreds of years old with gasket seals and have never leaked. Also there is no such thing as 150yr tar paint, if there was, every bridge on the planet would be painted in it. This is a bunker made by over weight kids that were bullied at school for kids that were bullied at school who are terrified of their own shadow. And you can tell the quality of those labourers, the guys who loves the sound of his own voice barking orders has to mansplain how to drill holes, and constantly goes on about his hinges. Never once any thought on air purifiers, drinking water filters, drainage, toilets or anything else you would need in a "doomsday" shelter. But most of all, I love how the labourers hate this man, as he is barking orders, not one replies, they all ignore him but he carries on oblivious to it loving that he has made a metal box. There seems to be more interest on stats like how thick the metal is or how the condensation drains out of the pipe which can be bradded about at a party, than the most basics of a bunkers needs like water and filtered air.

I warned him about that company and told him about bad reviews. I dont know him personally

I'd rather a nuke land on my head than get stuck in one of these bunkers!

What do you have the owners keep in the bunkers to be able to jack the lid up in case a tree,building collapse etc. . falls on the lid??

Inspectors and installers and all others that work and come around it will know where to go if things are getting bad.

Wow still upset about Matt - move on, it’s so undignified.

Unfortunately, at the time, you weren’t Financially able to avail yourself of the opportunity presented. Such is business.

i hope there were drain holes in that black plastic bucket and more gravel around it have a great day

I gave you a thumbs up, as I usually do. Exactly why did Matt (Demolition/Off the Ranch) unwind the deal with you? My understanding is that you were going to build and give him a shelter at no cost to him. I speculate probably in exchange for promotion of Atlas Shelters in future Off theRanch videos. Why on earth would anyone turn that down? Unless there were certain contractual stipulations that he felt might have put him in some type of legal or personal jeopardy. From my viewpoint the reality is this...you build and install a superior shelter. So why reluctance to do business with you? Thanks!

I mean dang... just watching this I can assure myself there is no better company out there that does this good of work! I mean the detail with just getting the air pipe/screen end at a down hill angle only a couple degrees... it shows that you really care and ain’t just doing it for the money! If or better yet when I’m able to afford mine... it WILL be Atlas!!! None better..... PERIOD!!
