Bunker in Texas (Pictures!)

[HoneyBadger]

Wow, this looks pretty awesome! If only we had the money for a project of that size...

Cool Bunker.
Awesome links to girl pics below ;)

So he either had a hand in 20+ construction workers disappearing, OR 120 people will be trying to get in, if they haven't trenched a back door already:)
I know where there are 10 ac with buildings and the option on the other 60? for a decent price.

If I was digging something like that already why not make it a doublewide?

He needs a bigger gun safe.

That's the one image that kind of puzzled me: if you are already living in what is basically a giant metal safe, why do you need the redundancy of a second safe inside of it?!

I can understand the need for a safe with kids around. I don't understand having what amounts to a safe the size of a small stack-on gun cabinet.

... And this is why i'm trying to earn a degree that will get me a job that will give me ridiculous amounts of money so i one day may own an awesome place like this as well...

[Tinelement]

Just spent my kids college funds.

All that and one flush hatch to enter/exit? If I wanted all their bunker goodness, seal up the air vent and put a rock on the hatch door. Wait about a week and open your new digs.

Until armageddon, it would make a nice mother-in-law suite.

[KevDen2005]

That looks like a sweet hang out. I would be playing GI Joes and LEGOs and wouldn't even know an apocalypse happened.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe they intend to deploy "countermeasures" once the SHTF.

I don't get putting it in the most humid room in the "house".

Going underground not my cup of tea, but it is a good place to lock the mother in law in.

Giant coffin! All it takes is just close the ventilation pipe...

I was thinking this also, so how should it be done to prevent that?

Redundancy I suppose.

Just saw this bunker on 2012 The End is Now on the History Channel.

I wonder when they "flush" where does it go, or even run water down the sinks or the shower,.....don't see any piping under the tin box to indicate a leach field of any kind....I always figure if chit hits the fan to the point that it's the last safe place on earth, then do I really want to live in that thing only to have to come out to ..................what??? Will you even be able to survive when you come out?

[HoneyBadger]

There is all sorts of storage and life sustainment systems under the floor. I would assume that there is a LARGE tank of water under there and another small septic system integrated.

Pictures show a shower. Gonna need more than a couple tanks to run that more than once.

Giant coffin! All it takes is just close the ventilation pipe... There needs to be at least one run far away and hidden in some of those bushes. If done right with rocks and/or other items it would be very hard to find. [Beer]

Isn't that what the yellow tank was for, septic? [Dunno] That's a sweet set up!!

Sure wouldn't want to be in that tube on chili night.[Gas1]

That or set a couple pounds of thermite on the lid. Or start mixing bleach and ammonia and pouring it down the air shaft.

[ccrain]

Active defense, putting a little pill box on top of your bunker, or on top of the escape hatch several hundred feet away (shades of Hogan's Heroes tree stump) for an air vent is one way, another way is a reverse leach field concept. Using standard perforated plastic pipe buried about 3-4" under 2"+ rock in a plenum type arrangement, you can draw air in and no one would know it. Then you can force air out through the vent pipe or front door or through the actual sewer leach field.

It still doesn't stop some one from using Chlorine gas on your whole setup and contaminating any filtering you have, which is why active defense is probably the best way to do it.

[HoneyBadger]

I'd much prefer concealment to active defense. Doesn't take continued effort and energy. Is super-easy to defend against. Most importantly, people can't attack, steal, or threaten if they don't even know you're there.

Your air vent under rock seems to be a very good idea, but like I said above, you'd have to make sure your rock blends in and doesn't raise any flags to anyone stumbling past.

that bunker was just on doomsday preppers the other night, probably why you see camera guys every where. the dude is wearing the same shirt and everything.

Yeah his philosophy is that the customer is always wrong.

[Aloha_Shooter]

Not enough backup air sources or emergency exits for my tastes but then I'd never be able to afford something "perfect".

I don't think it's an act.
