Underground Survival Bunker Project :Part 7

[tnen559]

Hey man, awesome quality video. Did you use an HD camcorder? If so which kind? Thanks

[ARluvr1]

Jeez man stop saying uuummm

[pjicleanair420]

You going to mark for the footer?  Going to use 8 block or 12's?

[helliott123]

you can rent a mini excavator for about $400 a weekend. your a dumbass for digging with a shovel.

.

[horticultutrefreak]

Can only listen to "..Um" so many times before I just have to watch something else..

[nlo114]

While you are waiting for the digger to arrive, a temporary measure would be to line the hole with EDPM, fit edging slabs and a refrigerator for survival rations and beer. You could then fill it with water and scantily-clad young ladies. When the apocalypse comes, you will have lots of lady-friends. Only those who have helped with the project can share the re-population of the world. (But as you are a nice sort of bloke, you could let the others in as well) but only if they ask nicely)

[McSnusing1]

may i make a segestion rent a skid loaded

[fight6661]

do you work full time while doing all of this?

[hrdknox2000]

I understand where you're coming from. I'm using all local labor and the "good ole boy" system to find less expensive help. These guys are generally interested in the project and are doing it as a side hobby/job. You CAN'T really push these guys.Keep your head up and don't lose hope on this guy. Just when I start to lose hope on these guys they come through! Good luck and keep me posted on progress, bro!

[HappyJackProduction1]

Great idea and i know how back breaking that work is, rent a bob cat dude.

[arkit2]

Look for a used pool inner to put up on top of the structure before back fill. Also add in drain tile around the floor on the edge and use a simple sump pump. You will be glad you did.

Best of luck Bro.

[Patriotsurvival]

@pawel071174 great things come to those who wait

[pawel071174]

please stop talking and start doing

[Patriotsurvival]

@BrutexxForce awww I'm sorry the project isn't going fast enough for you. You know. You always have the option of not watching my vids

[BrutexxForce]

Please buy a Jack hammer and use that at least to break up the soil. Seems like it's taking forever. At this rate the zombies will be snacking on your kids while your still digging the dam hole. 7 clips and that's all you got?

[KedViper]

Looks like you're digging a pool, lol. Good work.

[UnnamedThinker]

Being an equipment operator, i know what its like to have equipment tied up.

[mitraljez]

make a roof so you dont stand in mud ;)

[TheShadowrider81]

first rule of prepping, dont count on someone else. get diggin, soldier!

[Davidautofull]

instead of wasting your time digging, go help the guy finish his pond. when he is done then he will dig for you, maybe in exchange for your helping him.

[spiderturd43]

try that new stuff i seen on tv its liquid rubber for water prooffing its in a can

[spiderturd43]

make sure you stock it with plenty of booze,how you gonna get water dig well run it to shelter?

[Pinworthy]

Try using a rototiller to loosen up the dirt before you shovel it out. It would be a lot better on your back than a pick and shovel.

Good luck, Pinworthy

[scnatureboy69]

why dont you rent one,when no one knows your location!!!

[Patriotsurvival]

@scnatureboy69 No extra money to rent  Equipment

[Patriotsurvival]

@NakedOptimist the truth is you are a troll , you are someone who has no video contributions to the site , yet your such an "Expert" on prepping and on what my needs and preps are designed for ?

[NakedOptimist]

@Patriotsurvival Way to dodge my questions. If its purpose is not for protecting against nuclear, biological or chemical threats what is the reason for going subterranean? Lock your crap in a storage building and it'll be just as safe and you won't have flooding/humidity issues. It'll be just as "secret."

[Patriotsurvival]

@NakedOptimist as I have stated numerous times on my channel and in these project videos this Shelter will be primarily used as a Storm Shelter, also storage for Valuables, Canned goods , Safe house for hiding if there was ever Mass amounts of crime and Ultimately a man Cave

No Its not "state of the art" No the plans are not "fool proof" If I had $16,000

for a NBC Capable Filter , $40,000 Military Grade Underground Capsule ,

$3,000 dollars a piece for two Blast doors...

[Patriotsurvival]

@NakedOptimist $10,000 to have a contractor install it all 20 feet underground 

Then Yea sure why not Make it top of the line and go all the way .

But I dont have that kind of money laying around

[Patriotsurvival]

@NakedOptimist No matter How much Someone spends on Preparedness Absolutely nothing is foolproof in all situations

And different things work for different people 

[Patriotsurvival]

@NakedOptimist and Lol I have a Feeling No matter How Awesome and "state of the art" someones Plans / Bunker is there will always be some asshat out there will find "problems" with the design / plan

[Patriotsurvival]

@NakedOptimist who ever said that this bunker was going to be nbc capable? In fact I have stated over and over on this channel and in these vids why the bunker doesn't need to be nuclear resistant .

[1TacticalMedic]

Have you done any more work? Want to see more! Keep your chin up! Also, you can rent a mini excavater for around 150 a day. If you get it on a saturday morning it would be 2 days because they would not want in back till monday morning.

[NakedOptimist]

Seriously dude? You can rent a 15 ton hydraulic excavator for around $1200 for an entire week and dig a hole to China. You're really going to putz around there with a shovel for the rest of your days? Your buddy has to make a living, he's not going to show.

Also if it's so important to keep this shelter secret, wouldn't step 1 be: "Don't post this on Youtube?"

[Patriotsurvival]

@NakedOptimist Ohhh Only $1200 dollars? well then  what Have I been doing all this time lol If I only Knew it would be that small amount of Cash I could of saved myself a few Months ..............................­..............................­................. I hadn't thought about Paying someone to dig the hole <-----Sarcasm. Its funny how Videos of someone that likes to do hard work gets under some peoples skin .

I dont worry about Opsec online as much as I do offline.

[NakedOptimist]

@Patriotsurvival $1200 is an unattainable amount of money for you? Then what's the point of building an underground bunker when you don't have the money to outfit it to actually protect you from anything? "Earthbags" aren't going to protect you from a nuclear blast or filter chemical agents. If you don't have the money to purchase rations, are you going to be eating mud pies? I'm not trolling, you need to stop and think about your plan because it makes no sense.

[recon212012]

Rent an excavator,absolut must! Time is way too short now,plan for the worst and hope for the best! If shit really does go down in december you'll be glad you finished your shelter!

[Patriotsurvival]

@recon212012 Im not worried about the world ending on Dec 21/2012

[recon212012]

Great job! Dont give up! I started the same way and now over a yr and a half I'm almost done!

[acrophobia123]

PatriotSurvival GREAT WORK keep it up. Why don't you purchase a second hand rototiter to loosen the soil then fill a wheel barrow or something to make getting rid of the dirt much easier? There are simple cheap solutions.

[Patriotsurvival]

@acrophobia123 I use the Mantis tiller every now and then

[a10fjet]

i dont get it. its youre own property right? Why you so worried about someone seeing it?

[Patriotsurvival]

@a10fjet Just like when we had a prefab 6 man Storm Shelter put in here on our property , word got around in the neighborhood and everyone wanted a tour .

Keeping this Shelter Secret Will Insure that our Food storage , Valuables , ect ect are

as safe as possible

[zenmasterofslack]

go to Hertz rental you could dig that out in 1 day....you need to bench that type of soil though after 6 feet

[Patriotsurvival]

@zenmasterofslack  thanks for the comment and viewing my project

[jtee1894]

maybe you could make a fram with pvc and plastic to cover it and keep rain out while you dig. Thats just what i would do. keep at it good work.

[Patriotsurvival]

@jtee1894 I have considered covering the excavation site but the truth is the rainwater loosens the soil and makes digging this compacted  clay easier

[river580]

sorry for the spelling in my last post its like haven shlepped in a 3 days

[river580]

TRUST ME WHEN I SAY USE A PICK! TO DID DOWN, its probably the best handled digging tool you could get.

i thing it i a little easier to did when the dirt and clay is wet like in the morning.

you could use cinder block for your walls.

you could add thick gravel to the floor then all your flooring over the top so the water wont sit under your bunker.

you could buy a small shed, green shades of paint and a camouflage net or 2 for the roof, like a hut with a BIG hidden underground place.

[Patriotsurvival]

@river580 Picks are a decent tool when standing upright digging into a wall facing , but for me Digging a hole straight down with a pick is a no go , even if its just to loosen the soil . I have considered building a small Cabin over the bunker site with a hidden entrance under the floor ,

[TheMostStupidVids]

lots of respect for you bro, i know how much work it is

[Patriotsurvival]

@TheMostStupidVids thanks for your comment  and stopping by my channel ,

i will take a look at yours now

[Patriotsurvival]

@Thetinfoilhatguy thanks

[randomguy227]

Part 8 coming soon?

[Patriotsurvival]

@randomguy227  Hopefully brother thanks for subscribing

[CatalinD88]

that is not even 2 meters deep ... :| no concrete , no roof, no nothing ...this is hole :| a puddle

[Patriotsurvival]

@CatalinD88 It clearly states  in the title that this is "Digging a Underground Bunker Project: Part 7" clearly the title implies that the Bunker is not finished .

Dont know why Im even bothering to point it out

[CatalinD88]

@Patriotsurvival yea, but i saw part 7 is the last one and i thought he gave up :)))

[gamefaqsandcheats]

Must be hard doing all that digging.

[Patriotsurvival]

@gamefaqsandcheats Its ruff and slow going

[Patriotsurvival]

@jflandrvr00 hopefully soon

[jflandrvr00]

when is the next update video coming out?

[alien4fish]

@Patriotsurvival Yeah But the hole would be dug in and Done in 2 days for 500 and then drop that shipping container into the Hole and cut a hatch in the top and" Wholey Moley Batman!" Good Video BTW Keep us in the Loop

[mp9mah]

What is the actual motivation for building a bunker in your case ?

[Patriotsurvival]

@mp9mah Storm Shelter, storage for Valuables, Canned goods , Safe house for hiding if there was ever Mass amounts of crime

[mp9mah]

@mp9mah Thanks for answering all these questions, must´ve taken a while.

[c2morrow1]

Quick question for you. What are you thinking of for the ground base for the bottome of the shelter?

[aesops1048]

Again Patriot is there not a rental store for digging machinery in case this guy never comes out to your place. Wish you the best.

[Patriotsurvival]

@aesops1048 there is but the guy that runs the place is a clown

and his prices are outrageous $500 for "2 day" Rental

[navyboydjray]

@Patriotsurvival You might have to bite the bullet on that back-hoe.

Best of luck. I support what you're doing.

PS: where are your friends? Friends with shovels?

[Patriotsurvival]

@navyboydjray thanks for your support brother 

[3MostHolyTrinity3]

Good, if you dig enough to have 4 meters of earth upon the shelter put some plastic protection between earth and the shelter this will protect you totally from any water.

Also, I bought some concrete plates and built mine like a mine with the pates everywhere and pillars for a big room I made.

But I digged mine like a mine so it's different.

[Patriotsurvival]

@3MostHolyTrinity3 where can we see a video of the bunker you are talking about?

[1timby]

You're talking about PAHS. It's very tricky to do. But can be done. There is a lot on the web disusing this issue.You may want to mound this and bury a bunker. Earth tubes may work for you to do some heating and cooling. Again just my 2 cents....LOL

[Patriotsurvival]

@1timby thanks for watching and commenting on my underground bunker project

[c2morrow1]

Merry Christmas to you.

[c2morrow1]

Curious on the digging, anything lately?

[Patriotsurvival]

@c2morrow1 I will be uploading a update on this project within the next 2 weeks

[ARTnSKIN]

I was thinking you might want to start thinking of water draining out around the bunker instead of digging the bunker out, hoping your buddy will come through. French drains and trenches down hill would be a start. Keep working hard, hope you have music when your working!

[aesops1048]

Just a thought. Is there some kind of hand digging tool that you could rent or buy that would make it go faster? I really am not a prepper but there are so many tools out that might your digging out the soil easier. Anyway good luck!!!

[Patriotsurvival]

@aesops1048 Thanks for your comment , actually I have a Power auger that I use to Loosen up the soil from time to time , I have a video on my channel somewhere of me using it to dig

[ZZinvisibleZZ]

Hi, what king of bunker are u making a nuclear one, emp proof or just one to hide in and store food? Keep prepping.

[Patriotsurvival]

@ZZinvisibleZZ This bunker is being built Primarily For storm Shelter , hiding spot,

food storage ,shtf gear storage, and Ultimately a ManCAVE

[DOCSAFETUBE]

PART 2 - ....and brother , you need to hurry bro..ww3 can happen any givin time ..ask the patriots to help you , family , friends!

[DOCSAFETUBE]

BROTHER....remember ..your shelter has to be at least 3 inches of lead..and at least 16 inchs of concrete ..b/c of the EMP weapon , and gamma rays ..and the 7 main bio-chems our government has ..we got a survival video ..check it out..also ..way more trees need to be taken out ..this is tons of work on one man..get anybody to help you..once ur shelter is built ..give ur area and perimeter to the main patriots so they can tell you its ok to come up..

good luck patriot -

[Patriotsurvival]

@DOCSAFETUBE  Thanks for the advice brother but unfortunately this is not a NBC shelter

[DOCSAFETUBE]

@Patriotsurvival 9I hope you have one to go to..or got one?? ..b/c the ELITE will use bio-weapons dude..

just saying bro...

[Patriotsurvival]

@DOCSAFETUBE I would say 99 percent of preppers , Survivalists dont have a true properly designed ,Stocked & working NBC shelter even if they think or say they have one. ..

.

[DOCSAFETUBE]

@Patriotsurvival here in oregon bro , we patriots have got the best , oregon militia company B ..which is us has a fully stocked 77,000 sq ft shelter , that has 4 inches of lead , 24 inches of concrete , 2 blast doors that are 2 foot thick ..there's over 9 Oregon militia company's that has shelters ..so why isnt the masses ..it's b/c they are not awake dude!

[Patriotsurvival]

@DOCSAFETUBE Im not saying that noone has a NBC shelter Their are "preppers" out there  that have emm but Most "normal" people wouldnt be able to afford even the small components that make a Decent NBC Capable shelter

[TheHossUSMC]

You should keep on it while the weathers good. I'm starting a root cellar soon in the middle of winter like a dumb ass.

[theinvisibledude1]

dont give up dude keep up the good work it will all be worth it in the end

[Alamo2k]

Nice update bro. I got two tips (might not be the best tips): Make sure you design your bunker with enough air circulation in order to keep it dry. It may be worse to have a sealed off room than a room with good circulation.

In my basement i got a dehumidifier since I live in an area with alot of rain. There are also some dehumidifiers requiring salts of some sorts not being electric. If you get alot of problems with water you might have to lay down propper drainage around your bunker.

[hemiram1988]

Dont get dishearted on it, you have made great progress I would help if I could. Keep up the good work!

[parlusk1791]

you should really support the walls with packet tires like they do with the "earthships" google the word earthship.. it would be free and it is proven affective.

[Patriotsurvival]

@parlusk1791 I still haven't ruled out the earth ship rammed earth tire method  it is a good long term wall fortification , when compared to earth bags, the only problems with earthship method is Smell , the tires in large quantities can smell unpleasant .

[Patriotsurvival]

@parlusk1791 thanks for your comment Parlusk its good to hear from such a prominent  youtuber such as yourself

[Patriotsurvival]

@daddybird21 thanks for your comment brother I feel cheesy for saying this but . Comments like yours and Several others help keep me pumped up about this project . Thanks for the feedback and goodluck with your project

[daddybird21]

Great job bro,... I know how craptacular it feels when your digging and you just know how much more dirt can be dug with heavy equipment, and how much faster. Thats exactly what im going through now,... thanks to your resolve im going to dig some more tommorow. Thanks Bro

[Ja72corbin]

have you tried a rental bobcat? its a posible quicker dig that way maybe?

[quin4500]

Good job its looking good 

[Patriotsurvival]

@quin4500 thanks dude

[mmlrc6atgmailcom]

Your doing great, i am sure you will put drainage pipe around the footer , keep at it ......mountainman

[jasonmushersee]

I would worry about the water table in the spring time. Around here it's about 18" or less below the surface. There must be a contractor near by with a skidloader with tracks & rock fork for digging. My brother is a self employed excavator and sometimes has to rent a even larger/heavier trackhoe than his to get through 9' of frost. It's a pain. I have a tracked skidloader, wish i could help you out.

[highcountrytimber]

Go rent a small backhoe. You can also use a small garden tractor with a rear grade blade and the material out of the pit. Check the local want ads for a used tractor with a loader ,they can be had cheap and still be used for other odd work.

[buckstarchaser]

Roots do not grow in search of water. They follow the moisture so if your bunker is dry and the surrounding soil is dry then the the roots will not grow there. If the trees don't have significant root structure that are in contact with other moisture then the trees could die but you should never have root incursion into a dry bunker.

[dman042002]

cool brother. good to see you again

[Patriotsurvival]

@contantq experts and engineers in this field disagree with you but I appreciate your input/ suggestions

[nate7181]

Nice Work

[MrVic1954]

What are you using on the walls? Concrete block?

[Contantq]

Regardless of what you do, concrete foundation on top of a waterproof membrane with block walls filled with concrete also coated and shielded are the only way to make this comfortable against moisture incursion. The area will continue to wick up moisture no matter how dry you keep it. I know from experience. Water will be drawn to a dry clay material from many feet away much like heat to cold transfer.

[SP24u]

Good idea to use the barrel to show how deep you have dug down

[EVILisEVILdoes]

My underground bunker is a CASKET !

[Patriotsurvival]

@EVILisEVILdoes lol

[nsz85]

I have been waiting for an update! Great to see that you are back at it. Keep it up, man!

[Patriotsurvival]

@nsz85 thanks for the support

[wtf0804]

Looks like you have a lot of clay around your area.

[Patriotsurvival]

@wtf0804  lots of clay

[ElCoyotefromTexas]

nice to see you at it again, keep up the good work!

[1TruPatriot]

Thanks for the update. Keep the videos coming bro!!
