Friendly reminder: Build a bunker that's already been "found & looted". Then build your REAL bunker, BEHIND that bunker.

My wife didn’t understand why I was so excited about the fancy house we toured that had an underground bomb shelter. We didn’t buy it.

Not enough room. Where is John Goodman supposed to stay?

He's already got something worked out.

The thing people don’t understand when they fantasize about these bunkers is that they quickly become tombs.
All it takes is a bad cheap locking mechanism on the door you ordered from China and you’re sealed in there forever.

Well, not with that attitude!

If you’re gonna have a bunker, have some decency and stock it with something besides Yeungling. 🙄

I would rather have whatever money that would cost.

8 beds, 4 chairs at the table, 3 person sofa, single desk, tiny kitchen, single bathroom and enough food to last 8 people...2-3 weeks? 🤔
freshthrowaway1138
For an end of the world situation, probably not a great idea; but as a short term disaster bunker then it's not so bad. Imagine a massive forest fire comes roaring through before you can evacuate. Or a volcano goes off and drops ash everywhere. Or a massive earthquake. Anything where you'd have a large scale disaster that would isolate you for 1-4 weeks. Heck, make the air intakes/exit ladders another 20ft above the surface (hidden inside a fake tree) and it might be an okay flood protection.
inkican
Well, not with that attitude!
Gish99
What a shitty bunker design as well. Where's the huge amount of water you'll need. Batteries? Cause you know those solar panels are gonna get looted day 1. A few shelves of food and that's it? No grow lights but a couch?
mikeatike
And 8 people in single room space that size? They will murder each other after 3 days.
ChloeRed
Also, it's clearly one floor, not 5...
BobAllen2004
I love how it includes bunks for 8, but also a home office. Gotta have a home office.
inkican
How else will I produce my 'bunker family' YT vlogs??
BobAllen2004
It also just has a table for four, and a three-butt couch.
inkican
Yeah - someone's gotta hold the camera.
skipweasel
I'd swap the bunker for some nice dry outbuildings with power and wide doors.
inkican
No deal, those have a satellite footprint I don't want to think about
TalkingSnake
I think it would be cool to have a little cabin on top of a shelter. If only to fuck with people I invite by disappearing for a minute.
VinnieJonesDiary
....I don't think you know what a story is...
MightyIink
I always think how to power these things though, I'm sure the mutant cannibals will tear down any solar panels I put up...
4D51
You'd need something self-contained. Solar and wind are out for the reason you mentioned, and a generator would run out of fuel. That leaves hydro (connect some underground pipes to a nearby river and hope they don't clog), geothermal, or nuclear. A small one might be able to run off an RTG.
inkican
Okay, you know what? This kind of attitude won't cut it in the apocalypse bunker. Please seek TEOTWAKI shelter somewhere else.

Have I got a YouTube channel for you then. Colin Furze is his name. He's an absolute lunatic and super fun to watch.

I'm perpetually amazed he is still alive every time he posts a video.

I was just thinking about him when I saw this post.

Uh oh, where's his safety tie?

At this point I'd like to point out, that "Furze" is the german words for "farts" or, alternatively, first person singular for "I fart".

Bunkers are cool, but prepping is nonsense. There is no way (or point) to survive any kind of apocalyptic event any relevant period of time.
FetteredJuvenescence
Depends a bit on the event. Something like a huge coronal mass ejection that EMP'd the globe would potentially end civilization for a while, billions would likely die before power and water could be restored to them. But all it would take to ride it out would be a hiding place and enough food to last a couple months until the first wave of mass deaths were over with. Of course, then you'd have to farm or die, which sucks, but...
seckzie
Maybe some event could be survivable but i think anything that removes all our conveniences likely will kill us all quite fast.
FoxPesdassi
The point isn't to outlast the civilization-ending event; the point is to outlast the preppers who stocked up on ammo instead of learning to farm. Once THEY'RE gone, it's safe to come back out & plant seeds. (And if it *isn't* safe, well then, you're fucked anyway.)
eathotdog
Every doomsday prepper should be forced to watch Threads on repeat
gemaeuer
yeah, but people are dangerously unprepared for even minor inconvenient events like a major black out, which is far from impossible given the badly prepared infrastructure and the asymmetric warfare which already started. Having fresh water and food and light for a couple of days is a good idea.
seckzie
True, but for that minimum preparedness you kinda only need a little storage space, not a whole bunker. :)
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
Fantasizing about surviving the apocalypse is the redneck version of dreaming about going to a high fantasy medieval era for nerds. You think you do, but you really don't. If the dragons don't get you, the shitting-yourself-to-death-being-sick likely will.
DanFendi
The point is not to survive; you won't. The point is to hold on to your health as long as possible to see if it's really an apocalypse or not. Because if it isn't, you're probably going to have a long wait for civilization to get its shit together again.

8 beds and 1 bathroom? That situation will descend into cannibalism quickly.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
That's how I grew up: 8 people in 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths.
TalkingSnake
Look at the pantry.
Sypurist
Based on the size of the pantry, I think that's the plan. Your other vault dwellers are just meat storage.
TryHardEggplant
Looking at houses in Ireland, a lot are 2 to 4 bed, 1.5 bath. Only a single bathroom upstairs with the bedrooms. It's so bad, there's even mortgage commercials about it.
imNotThisCleverIRL

UncleMeaty
"Oh no, someone is using the bathroom when I need it, better eat someone" Is that really the way you think?
IgnisInvictus
Okay, imagine 8 people stuck in that space with one bathroom for a few years.
I wouldn't eat them... but justifiable homicide could occur.
UncleMeaty
Thinning out the herd is understandable and completely justified, but that doesn't mean you have to eat them.
IgnisInvictus
Why waste the meat?
UncleMeaty
Read the original post. It doesn't say anything about you being trapped down there. Go to the grocery store if you want meat.

highisophotography
That’s in case the owner finds “friends” he can cannibalize later. You’re not seeing the diesel exhaust system rigged into the HVAC system to ensure a death free of struggle. Excess movement only ensures a stringy/gamey meat.
codenametrixie
8 beds and seating for three. four if you count the toilet.
TheFunionKnight
Sounds like a vault Tec experiment.

hsalonen3000
Yeah, less beds, more supplies. And where is the generator?
FetteredJuvenescence
Well, judging by the design, it's not meant to be a shelter from nuclear war, so I imagine they're assuming the house with its solar panels will still be standing.

There's a pissing sink in the kitchen. What's the problem?
If there's a disposal/garburator then you are good. Lots of poops knives in that area so it only seems logical.

My ex grew up in a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom farmhouse with 6 siblings. So, 9 people total. They are very catholic, which means, no one was allowed to use the toilet if someone was in the shower.
I don't understand why no one died.
AllAnusMorissette
They're dead inside
Snooj
We have three people in our house with 1 bathroom and I pee outside all the fucking time. My best friend lives by himself in a house with three bathrooms. We joke about the mixed up ratios a lot.
rubypilgrim
how many siblings did they start with? 6 may have been just the survivors.
charondaboatman
Used to be 9 siblings……
dudethisbetternotbetaken
The boys probably pissed outside all the time.
Type17
On my old street the houses were 62m2 (~650ft2) and had two bedrooms and originally had one outside toilet (no bath/shower). One of my elderly neighbours said she was born in her house and was one of 9 children & 2 parents… JFC
Littledirtybirdyfeet
My grandparents had 17 with two bathrooms. Granted, by the time some of the youngest were born, the eldest had moved out

My wife and I have one daughter. When we last moved, a second bathroom was considered a necessary feature.
RocketKokket
Yeah I had two roommates in a one bathroom for years and it was challenging. Especially if two of us had someone over on same weekend.
IgnisInvictus
I wouldn't want to live with one other person without two bathrooms. Maybe I've lived alone too long, but, damn, just no.

I think that's why they make so many children, so the strongest will survive

That makes WAY more sense than pissing in the sink. And I'm pretty sure the whole church would know if they ever got caught.
omgzwtfs
Thought this was normal until I was maybe 12. House of 6 including grandma, when she was shitting or in the tub (no shower) I was taught to pee in the kitchen sink and wash it rather than disturb her or wait hours for her to get out
IgnisInvictus
That is too damned many people for one bathroom. What were you supposed to do if more than one person had diarrhea?
Was that like in the middle of no where? Because there comes a time to build an outhouse if no one can afford to add a second bathroom.
omgzwtfs
Small house in the city from the 50s, others developed around it. What's killer is the buyers said it needed a half bathroom in the basement first because it was their "forever home". My parents were soft and ate the cost for this young new couple...who just bought it to rent out
