BACKYARD BUNKER PART 5 - WATERPROOFING THE TUBE!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 дек 2023
- Today we waterproof my underground backyard culvert bunker. Visit www.kiwico.com/jerryrig for 50% off your first month of KiwiCo with code JERRYRIG. And huge thanks to KiwiCo for sponsoring this video. Before we can bury my backyard bunker and put the dirt back on top, we have to make sure that the bunker tube itself is water tight. If water gets inside the bunker when it rains.... well... that would not be a good thing.

This is one of those series you wish you found a month after it was finished, so you can just binge watch the whole thing.
Watch the Colin Furze bunker. Its more entertaining than this one imo, feels a bit more "real"
@Festivejelly actually not true ive watched it , this one is much better
@@Festivejelly Yes Colin Furze has on heck of a underground bunker system will last for ever.
@@TzvhonI would like to disagree
Props to the internet for five minutes for not having a 90 page debate on why Jerry sucks or not
Consider renting/ buying a gas meter which analyses the air (oxygen %) in the bunker while construction is going on. There's plenty of fresh air now, but once you start closing it up more, you risk suffocation due to lack of oxygen that's used in rusting (oxidisation of metal) or a leaking inert gas bottle used in welding. Could become a problem overnight without warning.
Stay safe and good luck. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

I’m about 3 seconds in but what your saying tells me he didn’t backfil with concrete witch has a interesting reaction with metal oxidation keeping metal that’s touching concrete from rusting with just neutral ph moisture
Edit never mind I’m farther into the video that’s a dumb building order
You know that you have ventilation put in generally powered by battery banks and a generator so it won't be an issue
They will definitely add some ventilation at some point.
Why is he putting a bunker in his backyard in the first place
@@jwalster9412"At some point" that should be initially started before fully burying the thing.
Just wanted to say that i massively appreciate the fact that you've edited in the conversions like pounds to kg. Makes it way more fun and interesting to watch this series.
Can’t wait to see the series of Zach’s great grandkids restoring the old bunker
Zack* why do you people spell names how you think they should be spelled
are you from the future?
It might also be smart to add a sacrificial anode afterwards, just in case you missed any small amount of bare metal. This might be able to take the lifetime of the bunker to a couple hundred years if managed properly.
This. Sacrificial anodes are common with buried propane tanks.
Yes! considering there is still mill scale on the steel under the coating you applied any damage or inconsistency’s to the coating and milscale will cause accelerated corrosion to the steel (mill scale is electrochemicaly catholic to the steel) highly suggest a scraraficial anode. (Probably should have abrasive blasted mill scale off before applying coating)😅
What's a sacrificial anode?
@@hamza-chaudhrybasically what it sounds like, you place a metal that corrodes easier than the one of the bunker. In that way when corrosion occurs it will happen at the sacrificial metal. For more details check how corrosion, anodes and kathodes work 😊
@@hamza-chaudhry When you have different metals inside something wet, atoms move between them. This is how batteries work. Some metals are more willing to let go of ions than other metals. Zinc is a common sacrificial anode. So you put some Zinc under the bunker and connect it, and the zinc will corrode before the steel does.
There are also "active" solutions which add electricity to the steel to reduce the chance of corrosion. These work as long as you have electricity to run them.
Either way, these systems can add decades or centuries onto the life of buried metal.
I am curious how you were able to coat and water tight seal the bottom areas that make contact with the ground.
I have been wondering the thing my self if water goes below the tube and that not sealed then that would be an issue
Same here. Was just searching if anyone already mentioned it 😂
That’s what i was thinking
Same
Digging a hole under the seam an coat it. 😅
They must have seen a few of Furze's videos cause what started out as gentle asmr bunker vibes has now gotten a punk rock soundtrack!
For real though, i'd love to see you two chatting about your bunker projects over a cup of tea (and presumably zoom), you're both brilliantly entertaining and educational channels!
Well, Furze didn't bother to waterproof the steel he used to build it and just covered it with concrete. People have been saying he did a mistake but he re gently did a small test cut and there were basically no rust.
@@Dragonitedbasically no rust is bad. That means that it rusted pretty quickly for something that is supposed to last a significant length of time.
one test spot, with protection covering, had a tiny amount of surface rust the unprotected test piece had zero rust!
@@ashtonhoward5582
@@ashtonhoward5582 No rust means all rust? What?
@@scikick "basically no rust" means there was rust. And I'm assuming he didn't put it up multiple decades ago. Ergo, not good.
You guys are absolutely killing it with this project, AND the camera work! Got my jar of dirt!
Thank you!
The construction of the bunker is so fascinating to watch
@@Johnnyprc What construction method did you use on your bunker?
Why?@@Johnnyprc
The fact that he is making a lighthearted video about building a bunker is ominous. Why is he building the bunker? What information has he received that regular folks like us have not? That’s what I want to know
@@ricpla6930 Paranoid much?
@@ricpla6930views? Colin Furze is doing the same
10:13 very smart idea to use peanut butter here to cut down on costs.
I love seeing all the different tools Jerry is using on this project. Tools I never even knew existed.
Like the hammer drill at 12:29?
This construction project is going better to spec than 90% of homes being built today. Looks beautiful!
*in the us
my house is made of concrete, not paper.
Hey Zack! Nice job! The paint you are using is very good and probably it is already good enough. In the oil and gas industry normally passive protection (paint or resin) is not good enough. The next step is cathodic protection, in your case you could use some magnesium.
It is very commonly used in gas station tanks and it is relatively cheap.
Yep, it's used on underground propane tanks all over. Does need to be replaced every couple decades though.
When talking about re-coating the Trenchcoat, you mentioned not having to do anything to the galvanized metal. It's too late now, but you should use spray galvanizer over any areas that have been welded.
I thought they applied waterproof construction adhesive to those joints. Or I could have misunderstood.
@@NoNonsense316that and rubber, but he might have been referring to the rubber gasket and not any additional rubber (when he was applying the adhesive he mentioned it being applied to either side of the rubber). He then applied a long sheet of rubber that was then clamped down with a collar, on top of the tar stuff.
Great to watch! Really enjoying the progress. I couldn't help but notice the OH&S issues. .I.e. no rails when walking across planks or even standing on top of the bunker. You wouldn't want to slip and fall. Here, in Australia, you need safety rails even for roof tile works.
DIY and OH&S are two things not seen together
Just a thought but like a boat/ship in the ocean, have you thought about connecting a sacrificial metal like zinc to your bunker that can easily be inspected and replaced? I think it would help increase the life time of your bunker for those areas that eventually have direct exposure of steel to moisture that you can't easily inspect or replace.
Wow I got here soon, opened yt and perfect timing love the series, keep it up.
Thanks for all this POV shots, feels like we are there building with you.
I broke a sweat watching all this work in 1st person POV 😂
All that hard work buried like it never existed. Have a great week and God bless amen.
Loved the detailed explanation about trench coat coating, MAG drills and the high mill shirar.
I got here like 1 minute after this video came out and theres already so much engagement
The way you speak. So much engagement

@@michblitzlike what?
New to the internet huh?

11:52 I was thinking it smells like white chocolate vanilla 🤤
Nailed it
It is so cool to see the construction of this bunker going. It’s also cool to see you using the right product for what you need with that Hi mil shertar I work for Sherwin-Williams and I used to sell this stuff all the time to the industrial guys and they loved it so it’s really good to see it being put to use somewhere other than oil rigs.
12:30. That's why they call it a hammer drill. ;). Great work Zack!
Just out of curiosity, how do you deal with the exposed metal of the seams at the underside of the tube?
I was wondering this
I suspect they dug a small trench by hand, painted it, installed the ring and rubber gasket, and filled it back in off camera.
@@warrensteel9954 I'm not sure they did it, it would have been pretty good video material and they would have shown it 🤔
Milwakuee's M18 Hammer in good use there @12:30
This is amazing. I have always wanted to see a wheelchair accessible bunker. Specially since I am a wheelchair user myself. I also got one of your jars of dirt. I don't know if it has the silver disk in it or not. Either way I'm thrilled to have a piece of the making of this bunker. Can't wait to see next week.
Watching people do all the work for me for the apocalypse
The smoke ring was a cool bonus love the project will do one my self later in life
10:28 man why did you eat that
I hope your engineers have accounted for the uplift pressure (aka buoyant force) that will act as a upwards force on the bunker. Last thing you need is for your bunker to float upwards when the soil gets saturated.
It’s already done. He finished a while ago, he’s just releasing it as a multi part series but he finished months ago.
@@jsl6155 could still happen
"During the apocalypse, nothing will be off center"
Very important and a potential quote for a shirt
I hope you are also treating the welds on the galvanised metal, for corrosion!
Exactly
Man this is a learning expirience. At first i was like, thus weirdo is worried about rust on galvanized but you meant just the welds
@@TheAnnoyingBoss actually in my experience galvanized steel that's exposed to constant moisture and encased in dirt isn't all that rust resistant
Looks like they did afterward. You can see a shot at 4:50 where it looks like it was painted as well
@@TheAnnoyingBossany steel rusts eventually given enough exposure, all of them.
Just started this bunker series by jre today and just finished p-4 like 2hrs ago and now I have been blessed by this p-5
"puffing smoke rings better than Gandalf in the shire, but im here for it" - aaaand now im cleaning my monitor off from the spit-take. XD
Thanks Jerry I was amazed by KiwiCo and ordered my daughter her first one! She loves building things.
i am in love with this project Zach! nice work every time!
10:23 Forbidden peanut butter
I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing at the Gandalf blowing smoke rings joke, I feel like I'm the only one who's imagining Gandalf and Snoop smoking it up and Gandalf is blowing fat clouds!!!
just finished watching “leave the world behind on netflix” looked up bunker videos right away😂
Bunker video is getting more interesting day by day.
One note on the galvanized metal. Any small scratch can and will remove the coating, leading to rust. Consider spraying a final coat of waterproofing on the entire outer area once all work is complete and before backfill. Water is your enemy, it can and will find its way in.
This series is one of the few things I get excited for when picking up my phone/opening RUclips in general. Super interesting stuff
Love watching your videos! Thanks for always putting out some amazing builds
can't wait for the 100 years revisit
I'm looking forward to see more! I love these series!
So awesome to watch! Great job Zack and Team!
Dont forget to paint the screws with that black paint you just tightened at 12:26!
Great content! Keep’em coming!! Cheers!
how did you even finish watching in 53 seconds
Math ain’t mathin
Brother wanted a mancave and sold it as a bunker...sensational.
Can’t wait to see what the finished results will be like.
Looks very nice so far.
Zack, you've really become my favorite youtuber. Thanks so much for the awesome content you're putting out. Can't wait to see what else you do!
So, how did you re-coat the bottom of the tube? (The part that's already touching the ground.)
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SERIES FOR AGES!!! You guys just dont know what i've been through this week. Its tough world out here for me. And see this series pop up on my youtube i instantly happy, like there is still hope for me. I dont know, im just talking ghibberish i know. Im nust sad and frustrated. Your videos makes me happy. Thats it
Same story, life has been so hard on me recently but this video just makes my mind turn the other way (for a moment)
Hi, don’t know what you have going on but I just want to let you know that you are way stronger than you think. Lift your head up high and stay strong ❤❤❤
Whatever you going through now, i hope you get through it champ....stay strong! 🦾
Life has a unique way of beating us down, over and over again, really sometimes pretty hard, before "the light" at the end of the tunnel appears to us in our sights. I will pray for you to have enough strength inside of you to continue to fight, hang tough, and never stop fighting the "good fight", until the light completely surrounds you again. That time WILL come to you and you will know it when it does. Just NEVER give up. God Bless You! Fred
This comunity is the best so far. Thank you guys, for all of you. God bless you
That Harbor Freight tow strap is the MVP
These videos are so awesome cant wait to see it finished
As people have previously said, you need to have concreted the foundation before you laid the bunker on it, as its going to sink
Should have just made the bunker out of concrete.
LOL, No.
@@dubious6718 It depends, the concrete can crack and let moisture in too. Most bunkers made to last an explosion have both steel core and concrete reinforcement. or layers of both.
@@tacticooldennisthis thing has no purpose, it can't handle a blast, will never be equipped to handle fallout (it's not big enough) and is a easy way to get cornered since the secondary exit is just next to the main one. What did you expect from a guy that is relying on solar panels to power his "doomsday plan"
@@tacticooldennis Just because you call something a "bunker" doesn't make it one lol. This thing is more of an overpriced quick storm shelter than anything and based on the current design that's a slippery slop to call it.
I think my favorite part about this bunker build is that you didn't use a shipping container. I cant wait to see how you do the infrastructure and furnish it!
That's one deep ass groove at a level 8
I love how you manage to put the classics into even your own project documentaries
You should use the area below the floor to store rations and other stuff
Hey Jerry, great video! I couldn't help myself as an audio engineer to listen to that cool reverberation of the bunker. It would be super cool if you could do an Impulse response of it just by popping a balloon and record it a few meters from it, then you can load that file into a convolution plugin and use it in an audio application, hahaha!
6:06 your brain is exposed bro
Some sell bathwater, other sell their backyard dirt...times are wild man!
I have to admit, that sound when the coating burns off is really cool. Definitely one of the great things about working with metal is that if you screw up you can just weld more, and with a bucket of that epoxy you can recoat whatever welds you make.
I am surprised you didn't go for nylon insert lock nuts, each time a power tool is activated the vibrations cause the normal nuts to unthread. I would add Loctite or change to lock nuts, or just before burring it I would torque them but I have no idea to what spec since this is a custom job.
Im surprised you are not concreting it in, that would help protect the metal and strengthen it a lot, is this to do with cost or just a personal choice? and I have to say how amazed I am at the progress considering how many videos you are getting out a week.
Would add a huge amount of cost and work for little benefit. It will already outlive him and his children.
@@sean2044what do you mean little benefit? Concrete Brunker from ww2 still stands solid in 2023... Lol
@@sean2044that thing will start falling apart in 3-5 years...
Well it already snowed in Utah a few weeks ago so I assume these are prerecorded so he can post them quicker and so he could focus on getting it done faster
@@encyclopedia07 Not 100 years since WW2.
I love that your dig looks OSHA compliant as well...nice project!
Looking forward next week episode. This is so cool to watch from start to finish
It’s ominous that you’re making a happy go lucky video about building a bunker, because the reasons why you’re building a bunker would make for a very interesting video. What information prompted you to build one in the first place? That’s what I want to know

This whole "doom-day/prepper/SHTF" fad is out of control. That's why he's doing it. It gets views...
@@CM-xr9oq there is much more going on behind the scenes with major RUclipsrs than meets the eye

Selling your viewers dirt from a hole you dug in your background is crazy in all respects. Not a fan of this RUclipsr monetization trend. Honestly thought you were above this.
Its cool to see how you are bringing this together.
Is that "STILL DRE"?😮 1:41
Amazing project but some of the shots looks very dangerous task being executed with no safe line attached. Work safe guys! Cheers
Got my dirt!! No silver but glad I was able to be part of this!! Also got my 2 knives! Stocking staffers for my dadcand I lpl
Man i am loving this backyard bunker build!!!
Wow this is by far the most kick ass project I've ever came across done by a youtuber.
GO TO COLIN FURZ HE DID IT BETTER
Great job on the video Zack! Thanks for making it.
I usually only come to youtube for motorcycle content but ever since this started i gladly click on these bunker vids before i even check for new motorcycle vids lol. Love this series. I can't wait to see the final produxt
Zack is definitely making his money back with this series of BIY bunker building videos. Well deserved because they're entertaining and informational!
By "money back" do you mean he is funding all this project by his RUclips views?
Dude, these videos have been great! Good Job!
8:23 damn that pipe is puffing some nice rings
The coating burning might be the best ASMR I've ever heard
That gandolf bar that he dropped. Genius 😮
Simply amazing Zack!
Can't stop watching this. Great bunker
I just got my jar of dirt! Never thought I would geek out over dirt! lol
Heck yeah! A million year old jar of bunker dirt!!
Whohooo. Got lucky. 1 of the silver receivers!!!!
Thanks for the dirt and the silver
imagine an asmr video of the welds burning through the coating while the camera slowly pans across each one smoothly
Can wait to Complete This Amazing Project
6:30 Level wife, level life.
Going to start investing in a bunker after watching a the movie “leave the world behind.” Really got me thinking. Thanks for the information on this build
That has to be one of the best ad reads ive ever seen. 10/10 Jerry. that music box looks neat.
This guy is making his dream playhouse underground that all kids wanted
So excited to see the final product... And I will admit I just bought my jar of dirt!
Man this is friggin awesome! I think Jerry knows things we should all know.
If not done, I would also recommend to inspect the welding via x ray field inspection. You want to make sure that there are no voidings inside the welding which could cause damage later on.
I work for an x ray company Baker Hughes. We do pipes and tubes inspection on daily bases. Good job btw :)
@5:40 sounds like a heavy metal intro...oh the iron-y lol
If you set those saws with the metal cutting blades to just past the full depth of the metal sheets youre cutting, you get more surface area on the cut and the blade will last longer.
That would be smart of us!
@@JerryRigEverythingmay as well save costs where you can i guess!! 🤷🏻♂️😂
I love the camera angle of the metal sliding down into the bunker
Great project! I personally would have leveled the floors after filling in around the structure. All in all cool series and thanks for giving a price outline
