I hope you have a few plastic trash bags to line your toilet bucket. It makes clean-up a lot easier.

How long do you think tornados last ?😂😂😂😂

One big advertisement, lame.

You also need heavy plastic bags for your toilet.

You definitely need Jim Baker’s food buckets… that double as toilets also. 😂

I would add a deck or two of cards, uno, maybe chess or checkers, or board games. I would also consider adding a second exit.

To be more comfotable, you could get cushions for patio chairs to sit on. They could be stored in a large tote in the shelter. Don't forget to get one for the dog. 😊

Van a poner más videos ??

14:43 Your wood looks great.

Those are good looking 2x6 walls.

Don't poop into the bucket. Use 8 gallon trash bags to line the bucket. Also use urine bottles to keep it separate from the poop bucket.

Well…..water and food 😳 you need a lot more for one! Also a water purifier. You said 8 people, and a dog👁️ really! Good luck with that! Better options: 4 Bunk beds, and a padded bench couch. Blankets and extra clothes should be on hand. Since, where you live is high risk for storms nearly year round, this bunker is not large enough or suitable. Need to rethink your needs. Think….If you open the hatch and your home and every one, and thing you own is gone 😱🙏 what are you going to do?

Candles in a storm shelter is a VERY BAD IDEA

Need durable air vents.

Just a curious question what emergency service knows you have this storm cellar? Did you have to register this with the authorities? I pray that you never need this cellar ever.

Keep a spare battery pack for your phone charged.also, battery powered vests can keep you warm.

I would worry that after all that prep, I wouldn't be anywhere near home when the tornado hit.

shes kinda cute

I love it, it’s amazing. How many people that live in these high tornado prone areas don’t prepare. I commend you, and your husband for being on point.

"I know what you're thinking. We never finish anything..." This is a channel I can relate to.

In case the door fails you. I know this sounds silly but I’d recommend bike helmets for head protection. There was an instance where a little boy survived a wall collapsing on him because he had his helmet on during the tornado. I know it might be overkill but a few helmets in there might be worth it if the “big one” were to come knocking.

Imodium.

Also add a bag of kitty litter to add to toilet

Put about 6 solar stakes at entrance. And when entering the shelter grab them and you have light for about 6 hours

Head lamps, battery operated can be used on a gal jug of water to make a lamp instead of the candles burning

It should be part of the building code in these areas, a tornado shelter. No way this should be optional.

Calzado con suela gruesa y resistente para ti y tu familia, al salir pueden haber escombros, cristales, clavos, mejor proteger los pies

lol you would be part of the debris if an EF4/EF5 hit that thing

Defensive tools??

Xtra change of clothes would help

Candles are a "no no". Should something block the vents on the top of your shelter, you're setting yourself up for carbon monoxide issues, and some candle wicks are toxic, let alone the possibility of dumping a candle over and catching something on fire. You need more than 2 gallons of water for that many people. A rechargeable lantern, flashlights, books, perhaps a game or two for the little ones. I always kept some sweet and some salty snacks rotated in my shelter. It's comforting to eat something you enjoy. And with the number of people you have, you'd need more than one roll of toilet tissue. Being nervous can cause people to need to use the restroom more frequent. I lived in Oklahoma for 38 years. I live in Iowa now and we have tornadoes here too, and I no longer have a shelter. What I would give to have a shelter!

Is it solar ?

I would make sure to have more water than anything else.

Sturdy shoes for each member of the family

Nope, you're going to put on your fall arrest harness hooked to a lanyard, brave the wind and you will potty outside! ..

I've heard of the latches being stuck on these. Some tools to get it open from the inside would be a good idea. Not to mention if an object falls on the hatch.

Better results doing it barefoot?

Thats not enough food for 8 people. Also not enough water. And candles are going to suck up oxygen and be sooty. They make camp glow sticks that last 8-10 hours, and I have about 6 pop up camp lanterns . Sleeping bags are a better option than blankets and they take up less space. Extra clothes and shoes, medicines, etc... and that cold concrete floor, get one of those beach mats and put that down in there, they're easy to clean and would feel better if someone had to sit on the floor. My two cents, I'm always ready for whatever may come.

A Bible, more water - maybe another 3 gallons or so; Tylenol and/or regular Aspirin, solar or powered lanterns; blankets.

Ca N you use cat litter in the toilet buckets

I used one of those bucket toilets in an extended camping situation. I found that placing a kitchen sized garbage bag in the bucket over the seat keeps the seat and bucket clean. I found that the Glad 2x leak protection bags are the best for that purpose.

I would also add a Ham Radio, hand held, (must be licensed) for communication before, during, and after the storm.

what the dog doing 2:51 ...anyone noticed the dog .....smash like button

"PromoSM" 💔

I'm only commenting on this video because I'm actually watching back where you are closing in under the deck. I doubt you would be going back there to look for comments. Yes, I'm binge watching. Love you guys and what you are doing. I'm from Jersey so don't know much about OK but your setting looks great (except for the snakes)

Back in the day, 1947 -52, my family lived in a 3-room cold water no bathroom no storm shelter shack in the Canadian River bottom on the west side of Oklahoma City. The old man hauled bricks all day while my mother was home with three kids ten years old and down. Needless to say we had bad storms in the spring. A neighbor maybe two hundred yards away did have an old fashioned bare bones storm cellar and we could go there for shelter if it got really bad. But my mother hated to impose and she would never go until the situation was critical, so finally when the wind was blowing and rain was pounding and a twister bearing down ( there never was one) she would gather us up and we cut out for the cellar, pounded on the wooden door and they always opened up and let us in. Happened more than once.

Crow bar if your door gets stuck you might be able to open with it as leverage

Good, practical ideas as a start. What if your shelter will need to provide longer term shelter. Let's say, your home is damaged by the tornado. I didn't see an Emergency Radio - keeps you connected to e-stations for information. Supplies 3-7 days of water/food for the 8 people; a serious first aid kit, head lamps or flash lights and batteries for extra lights; a cook set; bedrolls w. the blue roll sheets. Each person should put together their "go bag" in their room ... phones, chargers, computers, personal needs (prescriptions, etc.). I understand your shelter is very small for 8. But when you see the aftermath of tornados, it's stark. Use vertical storage to allow your critical supplies to fit. Hope this helps!

Nice job! But just to much wood for me?

First Aid kit..
