I wonder which Doomsday he's preparing for?

For a fraction of the cost these people are paying for corigated steel welded together. 10 grand in materials with a price tag of a million bucks or more.

Unfortunatly those old silos are more than likely still on russias first strike list.

What if the doomsday turned out to be a flood. Wouldn't all these folks in underground bunkers drown, or lose air and suffocate?

The only doomsday I'm worried about is the Yellowstone Caldera. Earth will look like the surface of the Moon after Yellowstone erupts.

Yeah, it's not clear to me WHY these tings are being built - to protect against PEOPLE they fail horribly - to protect against external fire, say, they fail HORRIBLY - to protect against flood, earthquake, meteor strike, whatever, they fail HORRIBLY.

Help employment, though.

There was one of those in Alexandria near Landmark where we used to go to smoke up when I was a kid. Not as big and elaborate but the same basic deal. Never really liked it much cause there was a pretty good chance that one of our dumbshit stoner crew would lock us in there just to screw with us and then forget to let us out. lol

I notice that they always have televisions in their doomsday bunkers.

I just wonder if they've accounted for the possibility that there might not be anyone left above ground to call if their cable goes out.

Do they know which provider is most likely to survive the apocalypse? FiOS, Comcast or Cox? Maybe one of the satellite TV services?

CD's, DVD's, Blue Ray, etc. I'm sure they've thought of that.

Ugh, the claustrophobia.

Better to fry with everyone else.

Some of these 1%ers have too much time and money on their hands.

What, no shots of the armory? They must have a ton of ammo and weapons down there with them.

Incorrect. If you look closely, you can see they are burying the bunker (looks to be about 9 feet down). Anything more than 6 feet will withstand fire and an earthquake that doesn't have a fault line rupture right next to the bunker. Protection against "PEOPLE" depends on whether they have heavy weapons (i.e. tanks, artillary, large bombs) or just small arms. Also, if the "PEOPLE" have large construction equpiment and can get it up to the bunker, they could dig it out. Otherwise, it looks like there is only one way into the bunker and any prepper worth his/her salt will have thought of protection against just "PEOPLE" trying to get in. If you put a bunker 15 feet or more down, you'll have constant temperature in the mid-50's all year around. It will survive anything short of a direct nuclear strike or solar burst that burns up the earth. Flooding could become problematic, but most people wouldn't use a bunker for a flood. However, if properly designed, a bunker could serve as protection for a flood but the air circulation system and venting would have to be more extensive. Bunkers are almost always water tight except for the air system.

The best part is, in the event of a national meltdown, these are the people who will be restarting society.

Also, there are a couple of pictures of what looks like an NBC air filtration system. A Nuc-Bio-Chem system will protect against a nuclear, biological and/or chemical fallout. Not cheap, but these guys obviously put some money into this bunker.

I don't need a bunker when I have the glory of God on my side!

I just called a friend up who deals with corrigated metal and he told me that size drainage pipe runs 250 dollars a meter. So if it's 60 ft long @ 21 meters it would cost 5500 dollars. Shipping would cost another 1200 bucks depending where it is going/difficulty of the delivery. You can get larger diameter for 350 but after that price point you cant get a whole pice but rather a bolt together. That company must be making a nice profit.

There are better and cheaper methods than large corrigated pipes, but this is a pretty good and economical solution. Beats paying $30K for a standard custom built steel shelter/bunker that measures 8'x 16'.

But have they thought of power? A small nuclear power plant would work, like on a submarine. Without that they are gonna need a lot of gas, if they plan on using generators. There aren't any fuel tanks in the photo. Oops. A generator running 24/7 is probably gonna burn 10 gallons a day. 180 days would require an 1800 gallon tank. That's a lot of gas. And what happens when the generator breaks down, which it will with that much use? A spare? And when that goes, cannibalize each other? You'd need a whole shop to keep the generators serviceable. It will be difficult to machine parts without the right shop, much less without power. The whole prepping thing seems like a fool's errand.

You might want check out the new Paladin Press book on bunker ventilation.
It's called Emergency Air for shelter in place preppers and home built bunkers.
It has a lot of excellent advive on venting and being safe in a buried shelter or when you seal indoors.

In one pic, the bed has a Texas flag bedspread. So, this bunker was most likely built to protect their family and loved ones from Mexicans and Democrats.

The midwest, surely, but here might not be too bad. Still not looking forward to it - I've been to Ashfall Fossil Beds in Nebraska, don't want to end up that way.

I think a drug-resistant pan-flu is more likely in our lifetime. I was going to go with a 100 meter asteroid but we recently got one of those.

Okay dummy...when Yellowstone erupts, there will be enough ash to blanket the atmosphere. Do you know what happens when volcanic ash enters the atmosphere? It blankets out the sun. Do you know what happens when ash blankets out the sun? Temperatures cool, crops fail, and the entire food chain collapses. We will all starve, and the falling ash will enter all our lungs and cause severe damage to our respiratory system.



Aren't you the same poster that said Glock only makes 9mm pistols?

They would make a good clubhouse, a place to get high, or to get away from the wife.

When doomsday comes, try to fit in for once and die with the rest of us. You'll only survive to be eaten by zombies anyway.

One disgruntled sheeple, one match, one gallon of gasoline and they are all crispy critters.

If things got so bad that you had to live in an aluminum tube 10 feet underground, what's the point of living?

Did they exterminate the Mexicans that installed it to keep the project secret?

I legitimately thought you were joking about this fear of the yellowstone caldera earlier in the thread. I guess you weren't; it's alright though, we all have some irrational ideas at times.

Not the people in well prepared bunkers. Kinda the point of prepping.

I do, but bad as the Yellowstone caldera is, it has historically only really blanketed the west with ash in the past. We're far enough away that we'll probably survive the direct effects of a heavy dusting, so hopefully no silicosis for us.

What we will have problems with is the fact that we grow lots of our food out west. Hopefully the global effects will not be evenly distributed and some places (like southern africa or the Australian coast) will still be arable. Instead of digging in here, I'd suggest a change of venue.

Uh, 9mm Glocks? Not my area of expertise - not sure what you're talking about here.

We've got a lot more practical problems to worry about as far as food goes than Yellowstone blowing up. The way that food is distributed now, basically things run out in local stores in the matter of about a week tops. After that, you're on your own.

Not a 'prepper' myself but I'm practical enough of a guy to understand that most people will be fucked if anything major ever happens here. No, the government isn't going to be able to take care of you other than maybe at limited, token levels in very few specific locations. They can barely deal with something like a big hurricane one at a time.

For whatever reason, eesh thinks you are Young Curmodgeon. He is talking about the 1911 pistol thread.

Why he thinks that, I'm not sure, he is a disturbed and paranoid individual

When doomsday happens, the age of consent will go way down. I think katiesmith will be made a catamite.

Ah. I am officially not Young Curmodgeon.

People who think "prepping" is stupid are the kind of people who had no idea what to do after New Orleans flooded. They all had a "what me worry?" attitude until the levee broke and then they were fucked and wondered why the magic government couldn't save them. Hurricane Sandy, same thing. Oklahoma tornado, same thing.

Not everybody needs a giant underground bunker like the one in the OP, but you need to have some kind of fucking plan for things that aren't complete flukes in your area, whether it's local weather or riots or whatever.

"Brownie, you're doing heck of a job!" Sorry, Brownie isn't going to save your dumb hipster/stoner/ghetto ass.

This is all insanity!

PLEASE SEND ME SOME INFORMATION ON ALL YOUR UNDERGROUND DOOMSDAY BUNKER, MY ADDRESS IS EUDIS HARPER 612 MEMORIAL CHURCH RD FREMONT NC 27830 USA

Thank you for your inquiry, Mr. Harper.


All our manufactured units have been sold, and we currently have a waiting list for future units extending until 2015.


Our partner, Vault-Tec Industries, may still have unsold units. Please contact them for assistance.


Thank you for your interest in doomsday bunkers.

It could be the ultimate man cave if it had a garage.

Atlas has added a lot more products since this thread was started.



These monolithic dome homes are pretty cool. I heard these stand up to tornadoes and other strong winds very well.

It'll be hot seeing that buried in a warm mound.

That dome home actually looks pretty cool. I alwasy wondered why houses weren't built more like that everytime I see somebody's home fucked up by storm damage.

Kind of looks like Bilbo Baggins lives in it, though. Just needs a round green door.

I'd bury an old WW2 submarine or Uboat. At least they had a double hull. Better all around and built to withstand a lot of pressure.

I'm with you too. God is our only hope. Prepping sounds fun in a kind of boy scout way but it will do no good when Gods wrath hits this planet as described in revelation. Our only hope is in Jesus Christ. He will not only save you from doomsday terror which is definitely coming one day but more importantly He will save your soul, which is eternal and can never die. I pray all these preppers will realize that and the error of their thinking. Another way to look at it ( as a prepper) is even if you would survive the 7 years of tribulation to come, by some miracle, it would do you no good. Why ? Because Gods next big thing He does after trib is to have his Holy Angels go to all 4 corners of the earth and round up everybody for the separating of the sheep and the goats. ( ie: the saved and the lost )If anyone is not written in the Lambs book of life at that judgement they will be sentenced to hell and cast there by the angels. What good did the preppers shelter do for them? It prolonged the damnation they inevitably will get. Eternity is a very very long time to think about how foolish one was amid the never ending torment of burning . Again, preppers, Think about what is really more important. I invite you to read the book of Romans in Gods Holy Word. By chapter 10 , verses 9 and 10 you will know how to be eternally safe and a true prepper !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm both a believer and a prepper of sorts. Am I prepared? No. I can never be prepared enough, but that's where the Lord steps in. Having enough stored up for oneself is difficult enough, not to mention for an entire family. If you prep beyond your family's needs, then you become a bastion of hope and refuge for friendlies (neighbors who are turstworthy). If it came down to food, your best friend could become your worst enemy, but then again a team of individuals or families beats a lone wolf dug in. A friend of mine said he would just take over the local Costco and defend it, if the SHTF. - LOL.

"The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty."
Proverbs 22:3

Everyone should definitely check out this Bunker, here:
