Better then mine. I've got this sand crap that is heavy is hell. Plants don't seem to mind, but it seems to dry out real fast.

Dude, nice job!

It's too bad you had to behave like a feral animal over at LATOC. I'm going to post a link to this thread over there.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Roccland', 'Y')es Uncovering Truths - it is really a root cellar, but bunker sounds more doomerish;)

I got a "MASH" tent off ebay for around $1200 and it is now over the top of it.

The neighbors know it is there and I suspect they know what it is for.

At some point you have to show your hand slightly...

I am looking at a third and forth location to do a similar get up only on a smaller scale in case the zombies overrun this location.

I have picked out sniper posts and access to this location is very limited that a few junked cars cannot block.

The community is a "lock and load" type...and this location is shielded from nuc fallout patterns and blasts as well as the water table is very shallow.

Then again I may get smeared by a drunk on my way home tonight.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Roccland', 'O')k...so the bunker I chose is 25' long x 8' diameter with a 3' manhole entrance at one end and a 6" vent at the other. I have posted some pics below I took during installation. It has a small concrete pad on top now. It is entirely pest proof.

It holds quite a bit.

If you go this way PRELOAD THE CULVERT with 4x8 plywood before they seal it...to make shelves with by straddling the tube inside with 2x6s (turned lengthwise) and 1/2" ply wood on top.

The shelf will be in compression with the insides of the tube as you load weight onto it. This saves space at the bottom to sleep or store more goods.

It keeps a constant temp around 78 degrees year round. So food will stay for a while.

It was aboud $5000 to fabricate and deliver and $3000 to dig the hole and put a concrete pad above it.

I spent $200 to have someone make a lock apparatus - it is two anchors at either side of the manhole cover sunk into the concrete with a 4 foot steel strap that straddles the cover and locks to the anchors.

Someone would need a torch to get in. It took 30 days from order to ground to complete. Pacific Corrugated Pipe is who I used, but there are others I am sure. Pacific Corrugated Pipe

Uh, Matt? That last post wasn't exactly an ad for social poise and grace itself...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MattSavinar', 'I') really like the way you think. This is EXACTLY what I want to do. Multiple bug out locations, all undeground with hidden caches of supplies.

It's a damn shame you had to act like a feral beast over at the LATOC forum.

[Roccland]

I like Matt...in fact this weekend I am holding a combo bake sale/car wash for the...

Looks like a great root cellar and tornado shelter, but as a bug-out shelter I think it looks like a trap or a jail cell. If the ones you're hiding from know about it you're stuck. All the best hidy holes have 2 entrance/exits; preferably at least one of which is difficult to find/access.

If you are forced to stay down there for any length of time the water vapour from your breath and sweat will condense on the cooler walls and pool in the bottom and the high humidity will breed mould and rust metal. Hope you're not asthmatic.
