I love the idea of these, but the maintenannce is, no doubt, pretty intensive. On the other hand, you could just buy it and sell ‘subscriptions’ to it like those Vivos schemes. For what you’d pay for one of these, you could build an amazing, smaller place better suited for a small (or large) family.

Article – ILLICIT CANNABIS CULTIVATION OPERATION LEADS TO DISCOVERY OF UNDERGROUND BUNKER AND LARGE CACHE OF ILLEGAL FIREARMS

Plus one point for bunker construction, minus several thousand points for it coming to the attention of the cops. The plate carrier with the “VILLAIN” ID patch is a nice touch.

 

In December 2025, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Northern Division Canine Unit received information about a suspected illegal marijuana cultivation operation on a property in Anderson. After securing a search warrant, CHP Air Operations conducted an overflight of the area, further confirming the information received.

Following an approximate month-long investigation, members of the CHP Northern Division Warrant Service Team executed a search warrant at the property on January 20.

During the search, officers discovered an underground bunker accessible through a 100-foot-long culvert. The bunker was equipped with power, ventilation, a concrete floor with built-in drainage and the necessary supplies to cultivate marijuana.

In addition to the bunker, officers seized 13 firearms, four soft body armor vests, 30 high-capacity magazines, and approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds. Among the seized firearms were a sawed-off shotgun, three AR-15 style assault rifles, one with an obliterated serial number, and two firearms reported stolen in 2016 and 1978 respectively.

A few pictures of a cool looking bunker. No pictures of the actual alleged grow op.

The pictures that are available show a pretty interesting setup, complete with concrete floors and ductwork to the outside.

I guess the powers that be will destroy it and fill it in because it doesn’t have a building permit or something. Judging by the size, it looks like they buried a quonset hut. Looks like they did a pretty good job of it too.

I’ve made a few posts here and there about the Swiss and their lovely bunker fetish. Here’s a pretty cool video of some folks touring privately-owned former-government bunkers. I really have to hand it to the Swiss, they really don’t do anything halfway in regards to these holes in the ground.

The gun collections shown are rather impressive as well.

CUT bunker for sale

Posted on by

The old CUT bunker in Emigrant is apparently on the market. I remember when these guys were in the news after ATF raided the place. It’s a time capsule to 70’s/80/s survivalism.

Two Earth Sheltered (Bunker) Homes on +/-7 acres in the beautiful Paradise Valley of SW MT. Within 30 miles of Yellowstone Park, public hotsprings, hospitals and airfields. In an area of limitless outdoor beauty and recreation, with world-class flyfishing, hunting, and limitless public forest access. These privately spaced underground reinforced concrete structures were designed and built as earth-berm shelters for multiple people. Each on the grid but with its own backup power, HVAC system, fresh well water and permitted septic system. Both homes are designed for comfort and long-term living. Either or both could have a custom home built with discreet entrances into these hidden shelter systems. A local, experienced builder in the area has provided a sample picture showing a building option. First earth home shelter is +/-2,500 sf, with 3+BR & 2 BA. Tile counters & stainless sinks. All appliances are included. Additional underground storage areas. The second shelter is +/-6000 sf. Designed to accommodate many people. Over 300 feet long underground, suite. 11 toilets, 7 showers, 15 sinks. 2 cook stoves/ovens, washers/dryers

Whats interesting is that you might be inclined to think that this is quite a setup and there can’t be too many like it. Mmmm, you might be surprised. There are some very motivated and very resourceful organizations and families out in this region. There are some very serious bunkers out there, out of the public eye.

If you buy this old CUT facility, please invite me.

Article – I live in a bunker with no oven or windows, but it’s worth it to save $2,000 a month

Posted on by

I knew that a friend of mine had purchased a house complete with a bomb shelter in its backyard about two years ago, and she wasn’t keen on maintaining the rear part of her property.

I met with her and suggested a solution: If she allowed me to rent the bomb shelter at a very discounted rate, I would ensure its upkeep.

Ok, lets ignore the first rule of Bunker Club for a moment….

If you had a bunker, wouldn’t you keep it quiet and empty for that time when you might actually need it, rather than rent it out as some sort of AirBnb? The level of PerSec violations here is pretty high. But, I suspect he person who bought the house probably thought the bunker was a quaint and silly remnant of a previous ‘paranoid’ owner.

However, the description of this persons experience living in the bunker is rather encouraging. Its quiet and temperate…nice qualities to have. As far as underground bunkers go, it looks rather appealing.

 

Article -‘Built by preppers for preppers’: See this Wisconsin compound built for off-the-grid lifestyles

Set on a dead-end road with vantage points, a shooting range, gardens, apple trees and plenty of lumber, Allen says it would be well suited for someone who wants to be prepared to go off the grid.

“Obviously it relates- it makes a lot of sense now with the way that some people feel about the current state, you know, that we’re in,” Allen said. “The way that it’s built and constructed, it probably would cater to so called ‘preppers’ nowadays.”

Kinda sweet. Someone spent some good money to put this thing together. I rather like the idea of earth-sheltered homes but I always wonder about the long-term waterproofness of such things. I think I’d be more interested in earth-bermed homes. Kinda like those ammunition bunkers where they bulldoze berms on all sides.

Anyway, places like these are always interesting to look at, unfortunately the attention sales like this receive kinda negates a lot of the advantage of a place like this.

This one gets the Harder Homes & Gardens tag.

H/T to the person who emailed me about this.

Surreal estate: $2m bunker

Posted on by

In all fairness, this is one of the more nice bunker conversions I’ve seen. But, still, two million bucks is a lot of money. On the other hand, you can ride out a lot of apocalypse in this thing….

Originally constructed in the 1960s at a cost of $4.5 million, an equivalent value today exceeding $34 million, this bunker represents the pinnacle of security and resilience.Its features include formidable 2.5-foot-thick concrete walls, additional layers of earth, EMP-resistant copper shielding, & 2 massive 3,000 pound blast doors.

Inside, the bunker has been meticulously transformed into a luxurious living space spanning two levels.It boasts a modern kitchen, two bathrooms, a spacious living room, and adaptable bedroom arrangements . Complementing these features are amenities such as a gym, a soundproof music studio with recording facilities, a theater room complete with a pool table, an expansive glass blowing studio, and a generous recreation area with soaring 16-foot high ceilings.

One of its standout attributes is self-sufficiency, with a private water well, a new pump, and a substantial 10,000-gallon stainless steel water storage tank, all seamlessly connected to an Aquasana Water Filtration System.The bunker is equipped with an emergency escape hatch and a towering 177-ft communication tower.

It’s cool, no two ways about it. But I’m loathe to live a life where sewage has to be pumped up…I think I’d prefer an above-ground earth-bermed bunker just to avoid having to fight gravity on things like that.

Link – Descend Into Great Britain’s Network of Secret Nuclear Bunkers

Posted on by

An interesting article about Britain’s collection of now-disused-and-abandoned bunkers from the Cold War. I’m always fascinated by these types of articles because, in true Jerry Ahern fashion, I’ve always not-so-secretly longed for a hidden bunker out in the middle of nowhere.

We’re standing in a room buried 10 feet below the North Yorkshire moors in northeast England, near the village of Castleton. The wind howls over the hatch above our heads as Hanlon—no expert, just an enthusiast—describes how the room would have been used, as an outpost of English civility and resourcefulness in the face of a nuclear attack. This bunker is one of hundreds just like it, scattered across the country. They’re no longer in use, having been decommissioned for decades, but they’re a nationwide network of relics of fear—a fear that seems never to have left.

The closest thing I’ve ever come across in regards to something like this is an old AT&T fortified microwave relay station in Whitehall MT that I looked at about twenty years ago. It had walls a foot thicj, blast shielding around the vents, and a wonderful flat-topped tower to emplace a .50. Didn’t get it, but there are many of them still out there now in private hands.

Someday I’ll probably just put a cargo container on a slab, encase it in concrete, and call it good. But until then, articles like these give me ideas.

Concrete Lego

Posted on by

I freakin’ love the idea of these.

Of course, I could see a couple problems. First, unless you’ve got some lovely earthmoving equipment at your disposal, moving these things by yourself or with just one or two trusted friends is going to be difficult. Then there’s the matter of having enough concrete on hand….a wheelbarrow and shovel, or a portable mixer from the tool rental place, ain’t gonna do it. And then theres the matter of time…if you can only afford one mould, its going to take..what? days…for one block to dry and cure. And when you may need hundreds of blocks…well, thats a lot of time.

I suppose you could buy the mould and make a deal with a local concrete supplier. Give him the mould(s) and as him to make you as many blocks as you need. But, then you’re still locked into the transport and privacy issues.

A smaller version of these might make more sense. I sure do like the idea, though, of concrete Lego. Just the things for building outbuildings and that sort of thing. And probably make excellent anti-vehicle barriers for the perimeter of the property.

Cool idea, lotsa potential. Logistics is a bit tricky though.

When PerSec fails in a big way

Posted on by

So, you have a very expensive but lovely home with a hidden doomsday bunker. And…you list it on online brokerages. What could possibly go wrong? Well, someone might think they want your bunker and they want it now.

Detective Allen testified that in the interview, Gilday confirmed that the bunker in the family’s home was his target, and that he had surveilled the property multiple times, even trying to access the bunker from a tunnel, prior to February 22nd.

So this guy thinks that WW3 is about to cut loose and decides he needs this bunker and doesn’t want to deal with realtors fees, I guess. So, he goes in, guns blazing, and decides to just…take the place.

We talk about PerSec all the time in the sense that when things get ‘spicy’ the people who know about your goodies might come a-calling and they may be less than polite. Heck, its the foundation of one of the Twilight Zone’s most famous episodes.

Moral of the story: the first rule of bunker club………….
