Bunker

[Anonymous No.1795235]

I'm wondering if we shouldn't begin making bunker general threads at some point.

I'd like to build or buy something like this for cheap, as a "hunting camp"/bug out location/general innawoods hobby dwelling to live in part time. The idea is to have it bermed or outright buried in such a way that nobody will know it is there a couple of years after completion, so there surface to identify it would be the door (the air pipes will look like or hopefully be inside of trees). I've thought about plastic tanks, ICF, shipping containers, earthbags, and so many other things. It's hard to determine the cheapest option.

I know some of you on here have built something like this before. I'd like to get 50 to 80 square feet of floor space out of it, which I think is comparable to the interior of pic related.

Thoughts on how to do this for as cheap as possible? I don't need power or running water, I just need a space that won't fill up with water or debris if I don't visit it for a few months.

[Anonymous No.1795242]

Depends on what you consider 'cheap'.

Colin Furze made one but he couldn't say the overall cost due to contracts, but he said you could buy a decent sized family car or something like that for the price.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQy89tZ-mRU is the 5 year update, but he did a several part series on the build.

I've seen that and it's quite a bigger project than what I'm interested in. I'm thinking of the $5,000 to $8,000 range.

Although, one day, I would like to live in a place like that.

[Anonymous No.1795348]

Here's an idea I had. Would you climb into some random culvert you found sticking out in the middle of the woods?

I could get the tank and the culvert (both plastic) for comparatively cheap.

[Anonymous No.1795349]

I've seen designs based on a large diameter culvert pipe, that's gotta be one of the cheaper options. "Atlas survival shelters" on youtube.

I'm very familiar with those but they're out of the price range, either to buy or build my own version (assuming I can find the 10' culvert in non-bulk amounts, which I haven't so far). Anyway it's much bigger than I really need. Maybe it would be better for a permanent innawoods residence, but not as an adult playhouse.

Shipping containers make the best bunkers as they've far more space for imitation crab meat, nuclear blast resistance, and internal tiedowns for love restraints. Their shape is ballistically efficient, stopping most projectiles up to 20mm. Early Spanish shipping containers survived the sinking of the Armada and regularly float to the surface despite their loads of gold and jewels from Tierra del Fuego.

At the very least, put in more than one entrance and have the bunker higher than the entrance so it won't fill up with water and nasty heavier than air gasses will drain out.

Containers have quite the military history.
The Bismarck was not damaged by torpedo attack by Fairey Swordfish, but by torpedoes launched from an deep sea containerbase composed of seventy five hundred tessellated containers. The story that "Stringbags" did the deed was a necessary cover. That base was later moved to the Falkland Islands, the reason the UK had to defend them so fiercely in later years.
Nazi subsea containerbase development was stymied by partisans who destroyed the prototypes as they were being shipped to the Kriegsmarine Arctic base by limpet mining the armed merchant cruiser carrying it under a false Israeli flag. This secret success saved most of the convoys bringing Lend-Lease aid to Siberia.
Containers are robust. Concealed beneath sound dampening rubber layers, they compose the pressure hulls of all modern ballistic missile submarines. The corrugations render the modules far stronger than cylindrical or even spherical hull sections. They are so strategically valuable they're protected by disinformation, like calling them "cuck sheds" (though they serve admirably in that necessary social role!).

Here he says his hydraulic hatch will list a truck so you can't be stuck inside if someone puts a heavy object on it.

But in his videos the hach can be kept closed by just standing on it or (in the case of the two piston one) putting a foot on it.

Numerous containers survived direct hits from 30mm A-10 "Warthog" cannon during the Iraq war. The springy corrugations dissipate energy and the projos bounce off. The immortal Corten steel shells last centuries even without paint, which is only decorative. The US Navy has a fleet of containers at the bottom of the Marianas trench where they dock submarines made from containers for underwater replenishment. Hawaii successfully used lava flow to encase containers to make attractive tourist lodges. Transatmospheric scramjet powered containers have been developed into launch platforms for smaller containers to be used in the post-Brexit EU space containerstation. North Korea replaced their old dug shelters under mountains with containers painted like mountains. (The insides are painted with cute anime characters to boost morale.) Elon Musk prototyped an electric container to replace the Tesla since the container is more aesthetically appealing than the car and has a lot more battery room. The mayor of Detroit has decided to replace his decaying city with containers. The old buildings will be demolished and the rubble hauled off in other containers, loaded onto rafts made of containers, and shipped to China via the St. Laurence seaway where it will be ground up and the metal residue used to make more containers. US Navy SEALS stealthily infiltrate enemy ports using containers cunningly disguised as containers. Israel is solving the Palestinian problem by storing them in containers. (Germany tried to solve the Jewish problem using wooden freight cars, but the container hadn't been invented yet.) Donald Trump's border wall will be easily affordable if built from containers. Any beaners who slip in by other routes can be detained in containers then trucked to Beanland where containers will be donated as housing.

Although his bunker design is basically the meta, Ron isn't that intelligent. He says lots of contradicting things about his own design in his quest to smack-talk his competition and jerk himself off on YouTube. But don't get the wrong idea, his bunkers really are all that. They're just extraordinarily expensive and hard to replicate at home. (Good luck finding 10' culvert that you can ship to your house, especially in only 20' or 40' denominations. He has a contract with a water supply company to get the culvert in bulk, and that's essentially the only way to get it.)

As for the hatch as it pertains to his bunkers, something heavy being on top doesn't matter. Even if the hydraulics of the hatch could lift a couple of boulders or cinderblocks off, someone could park a car on the hatch and there wouldn't be a prayer even if it was the best hydraulic hatch in the world. But it doesn't matter because the bunkers have a secret exit by design - you can crawl out of a culvert at the other end which leads to a small chamber. Then you bust out of the ceiling and the chamber fills up with some sand and a few inches of soil, so you can emerge outside. So the design principle is that the entrance is hidden, but even if it is discovered there is an even more hidden exit for emergency use.

Based on the trade secrets he gives away on YouTube (sometimes deliberately and sometimes inadvertently through the footage he shows), they basically have all the avenues of approach covered. The Atlas shelters can be buried deeper, are resistant to tampering with the air pipes, allow for safe internal use of a generator, can be installed in days, are highly resistant to water damage, and so on. By far, the best design element (if you are Ron) is the difficulty to replicate /diy/ style. Your best bet to make one /diy/ is search high and low for a smaller culvert (8' or even 6') and use ICF for the bulkheads. Even then it will be expensive, just not as much as buying one of theirs.

Plenty of ww2 era bunker / bomb shelters you can make for cheap. The big bunker problem is over designing and wanting to stay in for months. If you want cheap bio or nuclear just build a bomb shelter and focus your cash on decent cbrn gear. After a couple of days the worst fallout will have settled and hopefully rescue parties can help you.

I see they're good from his videos, but I'm just perplexed by his statement regarding his hatch, seemingly contraddicting with his footage.
So when he says the hatch can lift a truck, he's just lying then?

Also, when he's talking about his vent design being attack-proof because all the liquids one could pour down just go straight to the ground, he's ignoring all the other types of attack, like for example just blocking it with heavy duty duct tape or something, or putting some sort of gas in the intake, puring gasoline and lighting it on fire, etc.

And when he mentions that the vents have to be at a certain distance from the bunker because the pump can't suck air from more than a certain length of pipe, couldn't that be solved with a more powerful pump?

I like how the entrance radiation shield is undermined by having large vents facing the exact direction the entryway is shielding you from. Definitely worth giving up a fifth of your available space for.

I also appreciate how it's fucking underground in the first place so you don't really need a right-angle entryway shield like that anyway.

Bunker build:
>Buy four huge shipping containers
>Dig a hole big enough fitting three of them beside each other in it
>Dig the hole as deep as the shipping containers are long
>Weld the three shipping containers placed in the hole together as one
>Cut out the inner side walls to your liking (you can create rooms and doors that way)
>Cut out holes for a vent system, water supply and black water exit system
>Cut out holes for electricity cables
>Build a vent, water and electricity infrastructure
>make sure vent system exits being visibly hidden for people standing above the bunker later.
>Use the exess walls that are left overs from the cutouts to create other walls inside the bunker if needed.
>Place the fourth shipping container vertically (upwards standing) the "chimney style" With it's doors facing the sky
>Connect it to the other three by welding them together
>make a cut out for a bunker level entry door
>Build a staircase into the upwards facing "entry container"
>Build a steel wire reenforcement that surrounds the entire construction, including the chimney styled entry container.
>Pour concrete over the three containers in the hole you digged, until they are fully covered
>When cured, build a plywood casing around the upward facing container to prepare for pouring concrete.
>Pour concrete in it and let it cure.
>After curing, remove the plywood.
>Smear the entire concrete surface with asphalt to insulate it and to protect it from getting dry and deterioating
>Fill the entire hole you digged with soil again
>Weld one door to be permanently closed
>Remove the external door locking mechanism and weld it to the inside (you wanna lock people out, not be locked in by people from outside)
>Hide your entry with a small wooden shed and a wooden floor that is connected to the entry door so its hidden when closed.

The wise choice would be a bunker-themed room containing your Librebooted T60 running TempleOS. Faux concrete wall panels or a suitable textured paint job can give your fap tomb proper ambiance. While military hardened shelters are typically well lit that's insufficiently dystopic for our purpose.

Take your cues from vidya gaymes (the real reason you imagine you want a bunker) and decorate accordingly. The exquisite pleasures of bunkerfetish should be combined with gas mask and other rubber play including restraints and tois. You can pay for the decor by eschewing boring stuff like actual disaster preparedness in favor of delicious larping.

Remember the bunker experience is about what's inside, not what's outside, and a 20ft shipping container is more than enough for a backyard dystopia-in-a-can if mummy won't let you ruin her basement. Steampunk is easy to implement in containers since you can weld punky objects or anchors for same to the walls with an inexpensive wire welder. "Elevator bolts" have a handy flange for welding to walls. Unistrut and similar are Doomosensual ways to hang conduit (thicc conduit is not only sexy, it makes it easy to run cable and fiber). The inner tiedown loops are spaced such that erotic suspension between them is easy (carabiners , sailing and arborist rope gear get it done) and you could lift the most obese bottoms straight off the floor. The floors are easily sealed and plumbed for drainage of inconvenient fluids, for example from your fistula collection, and stainless restaurant furnishings, prison toilets and other matching decor are plentiful. Likewise ventilation is easy and a split system to keep it comfy is no problem to install. A large septic tank with a large manhole cover can digest most anyone you feed it if you field dress and remove all metal (scan with a metal detector before and during vivisection). Noise dampening is expensive but it's easy to debark dogs and humans, and ball gags are cheap.

Only digest-style magazines wouldn't do this, because the point was to give you something to kill time reading. Newspapers in contrast focused on delivering information and thus respected everyone's time which is the reason everybody had daily subscriptions.

Does anyone have the design plans for a front door that was attached to a frame lined w valve springs. Then when you tried to take a battering ram to it the door would just bounce off the springs and not blow open.

[Anonymous No.1800067]

>>1800057
That expedient was tried during the Punic Wars with poor result as the door itself became a ram. The solution was a fixed door covered with an impact absorbing layer of pallets which dampened the shock and could, as assailants tried to remove them, be ignited by flaming acetone poured from the lunette-shaped windows plasma cut into the battlements for that purpose. The shipping containers were protected from fiery fratricide by filling with water from the moat, as intense fire risks annealing their protective outer coating whose armoriferous properties are lost thereby. A special cadre of troops dedicated to containerbunker defense, the famous Nullos, were duty bound to protect their base or die trying. The Nullos also gave their name to the common Nullo Wafer cracker, or biscuit as the faggy Poms (but I repeat myself) put it.
Being community spiritual centres as well as defensive works, containers were the object of special veneration. Worshippers of different containers were often rivals. This escalated, notably in the Flat Rack Wars, but eventually all sects were unified under the High Cube.

Literally yes, and there are loose "clubs"/collectives all over the world dedicated to exploring, mapping, and sharing info about underground tunnels and stormwater systems.

I've looked into my local scene since my city has over 1500km of underground complexes which are often abandoned, forgotten and unmapped. People have been hunting for cool shit down there and leaving geocache-like prizes in the deepest parts for decades.
And since governments realised people are doing this they've started locking and welding hatches shut, which doesn't stop anybody so your padlock honestly only makes getting in more attractive if someone shines a torch in there.

A DIY airform concrete dome buried in a pit with a hatch of your choosing would work.

I've done an autistic level of research into dome structures. They are insanely resilient and material efficient. 2200 square foot dome comes to something like $1200 for the concrete (600 more for the foundation, but foundation designs are variable, havent settled on one) and like $2500 for the insulation foam. Thats buying supplies from Lowes, you could easily knock 20% off getting sand from a local building supplier, and having a contractor do the foam might end up cheaper as well.

A little 16 foot diameter dome (so 8ft of headroom in the center) would be cheap as dirt, and doable in an afternoon.

To give you an idea of how structurally sound these things are, a 160' dome was only 6" thick at the base and 3" thick at the top. This was a sports dome, which intended to have lights and other heavy stuff hung from the dome as well. That is with measures of civil-engineering excess and care built in, which isnt necessary for a backyard bunker.

Of course, but they make better submarines which takes advantage of their corrugated construction which scatters sonar and can resist any pressure Terran oceans can produce.

They replaced bathyspheres decades ago after they shrugged off nuclear blast pressure waves at Eniwetok. Non-nuclear torpedos and mines have no effect on them, but nukes can damage their paint when detonated in air.

The requirement for at least 100-meter burial is based on modern microwave pulse drones which will orbit target areas. While shipping containers are strong enough and properly conductive being made of Corten, the galvanized grain bins react with radiation and the round shape concentrates it to simultaneously gas and roast the occupants who swell then burst like rotten fruit, but with more screaming.

Overlooked is an honest appraisal of why people crave buried bunkers. It's not for military or even practical usage else they'd copy aboveground bunkers built stealthily but openly and legally to look like an ordinary cabin or workshop. To not be eaten, don't look like food.

Enjoy crawling in your bunker and coming face to face with a family of skunks.

What is the point of a bunker like that?

A fucking 10 year old could compromise that bunker with 2 plastic bags from walmart covering the air pipes

Of course he's retarded. Container burial only works correctly with odd numbered quantities of containers because (obviously) tesselation is necessary for strength.

I guess building will be way easier than taking enough countermeasures to flooding, critters/insects feasting upon it, hobos/hippies "exploring" it.

I think you should go for some prefab/container, prepare it (furniture, vents, etc) dig a large enough hole, then do everything to hide/seal/secure it ("stealth" doesn't equal "safe").

The only thing worth burying is a hardened container. Containers are structurally designed to sustain vertical and lateral forces.

A grain bin is designed to sustain evenly distributed vertical weight, no lateral stress, no sudden stress, no increasing lateral pressure, etc.

mr. DigDug's RapeCave is the ultimate hazard because he barely mentions the need to sustain the vertical/lateral forces. The first human walking on Muh TarPaper will epically crash the entire structure.

It is a storm shelter, not a bunker. A 10yo might have a hard time doing anything with a twister nearby. It'll look like this outside,

Your example shows the right way, which is build aboveground with sufficient reinforcement. Ideally the whole bedroom would be reinforced concrete so even if you're never warned you sleep protected.

One could do the same thing with a precast concrete tank or other shape properly anchored to Sonotubes (cut holes in floor for those) for easy retrofit. Children crave stupid pseudo-military bunker dreams (vets and the clueful tend not to care about dying in place and prefer mobility) hence these fantasy threads but storm shelters and reinforced concrete construction are wise ways to shelter.

Above ground is fine if you have some extra reinforcing like soil mounded up. Especially, in places where drainage is a bitch. A flying car would more than likely have wiped that room right off the ground had it been hit by one. But, if it were mounded around with soil then it'd only have a glancing blow, no matter what was thrown at it. That's the cheaper option than having more concrete to angle the sides to perform the same function.

I was in Berlin once and did an "Berlin Undergrounds" tour, where you can tour several civil protection bunkers all over the city hidden in plain sight.
They showed us these big doors for evacuation which were also outside facing. But they had huge hydraulic cylinders attached for opening. They could also be operated by manual pumps.
The doors for entering are basically one way airlocks.

If you ever go to Berlin, make sure to take this tour!

A few more yards of concrete and some rebar would solve that problem for interior structure. At ~$100/yard where I live that's cheap.

Cool

[Anonymous No.1811203]

Perhaps both. Sandwich earth between two reinforced walls so there's no slope of repose for the soil and you can build around it more easily. Equipment rental to move earth doesn't cost much at all for something that small and you can increase the size and mass quite a bit without the extra expense.

I live in a hilly area. So, anything I make would be underground. The drainage can just exist on the downhill side.

It is a storm shelter and should be on the map at the local rescue stations. After a tornado, the rescue goes around and checks all the shelters and digs people out. Trees are the least of your worries when 3 of your neighbor's houses land on you.

[Anonymous No.1811471]

just make sure if you go with shipping containers or grain silo that you reinforce the frame and have a plastic membrane barrier between you metal shelter and concrete, dirt or what have you

What epoxy or other effective fillers have you used to repair weak/rotted wood?

I've a variety of old, porous wood I prefer to basically impregnate with plastic than replace. I have high DIY skills and ample equipment but I don't fuck with wood much.

What have you personally used, what do you like or dislike (info on what sucks is just as important) and what would you do differently?

None of that shit is worth a fuck. It's way to expensive, extra useless for structural. You are much better off replacing it
