We did our best, in prior comments I addressed this situation.. Our GoPro wasn't working that day and had to use an iPhone and my friend who films didn't realize the importance of filming in landscape mode along with other situations. This happened out of the blue and plan to go back to refilm it soon. Thank you !
Fascinating….. only my stomach is going around in circles. You move the camera so fast, especially when you’re showing different things. There’s an art to filming. Content is fantastic.
You need to work on you camera movement,i felt like i was on a rollercoaster,and half of what you are trying to talk about or show is either to close or to fast of movement,i rate this video a 3 ,slow down bub
I would probably consider having a separate sealed room inside for the generator. If ever found the power supply it would be the first to get shutdown forcing anyone out. Exhaust would be about 20ft up so it can’t be reached. With a 5000L diesel tank. Ah many many designs that could be done. This is definitely a beauty.

@@VikingShelters I liked the music ..and the video yea was fast and all ...But so what ? Not worth having a tizzy over...lol. I think it's great what you did and why all the whiners? I just saw another vid by you ..must have done later and was awesome...Thank you. I live in PNW...wonder if you are near my once small town , that is getting too big...(between Rainier and Mckenna...🙂 WA.)
Thanks for the video. I am 6 minutes in and the fast sweeping camera shots made me nauseous. If I remember I will try it at slower speed but learn to edit please and remember sometimes the camera man does die.
Regarding the main 12" air intake air pipe. It appears to be the plastic double wall pipe and I assume it has a slight downwards slope to expell any condensation that might develop . What is the white powdery looking substance inside the pipe? It appears black on the bottom where water may have condensed back out. Based on the dead/dry vegetation covering the structure you appear to have a pretty dry climate. Did you ever have moisture problems in this pipe and what is the white discoloration? Did you have a mold problem? On mine I made the intake pipe 24" so that I could get in there with a mechanic's creeper to clean or disinfect the inside if need be.
There is zero mold issues, let me follow up with you asap, I will ask the builder. I will say there is no condensation or mold. This was filmed a few weeks before the rains have now arrived. There are 2-3 months in the PNW where is hardly ever rains in the summer. That is why it is dry. I am not the builder but my opinion is that smaller 12" vent pipe allows more airflow, perhaps using a 24" intake and 12" outtake would be better but as we've mentioned, they've lived here for 13 years and zero issues. Could you post the exact time on the video you have seen the white discoloration? I'll bring this upto my business partner and follow up 110% !
The reality is that when you're trying to create natural airflow, you don't want to have giant openings. 12 inches is pushing it to begin with. That's why I have the guillotine vents to shut it down to get airflow moving, when air is going through a vent for 13 years you're going to get some specks of dust and minerals settling on the black pipe, which appears as a light chalky substance not mold. The nose is the best detector, and the place smells as fresh as a spring day. (Reply from the master builder)
I really was looking forward to watching this video. I couldn't finish watching. Too close to everything and moving the camera all over the place. Hope they make a better video and repost it.
I really enjoyed your video. My only suggestion would be to slow down the panning of your camera. It's moving too quickly which makes it difficult to see details. Remember to breath, and relax. There is no rush. I want to see it all. Thanks.
"Hey, we would like to make a video of the cool domicile that we built for you several years ago, would that be OK?" "Sure. We'll go out of our way to make it super messy for ya."
Pretty neat stuff.I came up with a idea while thinking about a bus conversion that I call a slide in.A slide out with several units that would slide into the bus, perhaps one of them being a kitchen island, clothing storage and other types of storage and possibly a slide in Murphy bed.Thinking this general idea would be beneficial for a structure like that.
Interesting structures. I would like to have a home built into a hill/mound someday. Mostly for the insulating and sound deading purposes. I understand this is old footage you are showing but in the future a gimbled camera or motion stabilization would help with the quality of the video. The technique i was thinking about using is precast concreate slabs and I-beams. Close cell insulation and a vapor barrier on the out side and a Adobe like finish inside. I also want the home to be grid free so now power gas or water bill.
Theoretically, if you where locked inside in an apocolyptic world, and there was people trying to take over, wouldn't that 90 degree angle exposed at the front door be a big target to get you to come out in time ?
Wheeee!!!! zip zip zoooom. Was that a door? bed? what is that stuff .. oops gone. Watchers are dizzy. I lasted till 6:10. had to turn it off. Might be interesting, but can't watch any more.
Interesting method. We really need alternative dwellings badly. It’s a shame people can’t accept your video here without feeling the need to criticize or add base jokes. Some people need to live with B&W tv and 3 channels again, or maybe a book. Have a great day.
Quick question, why the internal support structure when the shotcrete is applied? Since shotcrete doesn't get cold joints, wouldn't it be simpler to apply it in multiple layers so the first layer is cured sufficiently to support the second layer, and so on? Is it to do with the logistics of the shotcrete crew/equipment? Thanks.
There's a thing called being prepared for anything..... The support is for incase.. the shotcrete was applied with 6" inches and then another layer of rebar laid down and then another 6" inches of shotcrete

Great Content!! I saw you on Kirsten Dirksen videos. Your structures show your talent. Keep working on the video presentations, you'll get better with practice.
I found it very cool I don't know why you couldn't watch it other than the guy moving the camera quite a bit but it looks kind of unprofessionally filmed but I'm glad he did it anyway 🙏
Do you have building specs to share or for sale. ? Main interest are for ventilation , for no mold or mildew. No condensation. I'm in Alabama. Been wanting to one one for a long time. Thanks.
Yes we do have all of that available please send us an email we plan to be releasing an updated page with a way to purchase the blueprints , an hour-long voice over video of how to build with actual footage of the build happening, and also a way to speak to the Builder vikingundergrounds@gmail.com
No, anyone can be short or kneel down out of sight but having the peep hole on bottom would allow a better line of sight overall.. Thank you for the question ! 🙏

It’s a good idea, but for some reason, this place is very cluttered. Doesn’t look that great inside. Also yes turn your camera sideways. Not sure why people still do this by turning your camera straight up and down it’s ridiculous. Also, you’re moving around too fast. You have to slowly pan, the area this could be a really cool place if they had fixed it up a little better with some nice woodworking interesting video
I recommend a new videographer. I’m dizzy just in the first 30 seconds. You would think if you were going to make a video you would prepare yourself and use proper English.
It has some good ideas, but an earthship is more sustainable and infinitely more cheerful. The 800 lbs door is great for keeping out home invaders, but in a shtf scenario the security of a bunker is illusionary.

It really depends on what the purpose and what your end goal is.. the S model wouldn't be as strong due to it not being a full arch but could work depending on how you build and ultimate goal.
@jeffrosencutter4416 yes, I'll do my best to respond, we receive dozens of emails every week but this is fairly basic so I'll do my best to reply. Please check out our website and most recent video 📹 🙏
For me It would be too much of a closer phobic to live in that small of an area. 2 women ,4 tiny bedrooms ? Why such small rooms for only 2 women ? I would have built 2 large bedrooms to be comfortable. But hey, that's their hut, not mine.
