How do you prep your home for shtf without making it look like an autistic doom fortress?

I know there's all the talk about "hiding your power level" but I think when it comes to your home there must be a way to make it a doom fortress while keeping things aesthetic. For example reinforced window shutters with gun loops in them
>>
>>33849682
Only applicable if you're building a new house, but my house has a layer of concrete inside all of the exterior walls so bullets can't pass through. The man who built the house originally was a former cop.
>>
>concrete lined walls
>bulletproof glass
>weatherized Level IV armor plate shutters instead of wood, and make them actual shutters that can swing in and cover the windows
>ideally this process would be automated
>small dormer window facing the road you can use as a sniper's nest
>astroturf over punji traps instead of a lawn, with copious "keep off the grass" signs to avoid legal liability

Ok then let's say you are building from the ground up

This is why you don't buy a house unless it's a bunker or missile silo.
Build a house, make it a proper 2 foot thick concrete walls with 400mm of steel.
Also have an above ground portion.
Other than that find a house like this in your area and if SHTF go there and take it over.
In my area the local ISP and power company has this sort of bunker downtown for emergency situations and there are also ammo bunkers around.
>>
>>33850742
I plan to have a have a 3/4 sunken "basement" that places the "ground floor" windows too high to easily reach, and also just happens to provide a good firing slit akin to a bunker.

For my first floor level I'm going to have medieval style arrow slits, as well as a hidden door per room to satisfy fire code.


Whole house will be built out of ICF, preferably with an extra layer of concrete or brick on the exterior to provide additional shielding.

If I can get away with it I plan to have an escape tunnel. Not sure if I'll be able to manage that in secret (in fact, probably not) but I'd rEALLLllllly like to have an escape tunnel going to a hidden bunker.

As another anon mentioned, good shutters are also a must.
>>
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

Build your house out of this shit, and follow it up with bulletproof glass in steel frames.

Bam, basketball Americans can now unload a Tec 9 into your house and the first you'll notice of it is when you go outside to get the morning paper and notice holes in the siding.
>>
>>33849682
You can look at this under the OIBUA section and get an idea of how to defend then include them into your design.

>not wanting your house to look like an autistic doom fortress

But seriously though this topic is comfy as fuck and this thread has potential

Will be monitoring
>>
Do from what I can see the general go to is:

>ICF walls (can be shaped into almost anything you can think of)
>Reinforced/bulletproof windows
>Shutters (also reinforced)
>Escape tunnel
>Basement
>Multiple access for each room (possibly some hidden)
>Don't make it look autistic

Is that generally all you need or am I missing something?
>>
Make sure it's earthquake-resistant, too, guys. Nothing would suck more than coming home to a pile of rubble collapsed on to what used to be your guns or your dog because the armor wasn't designed to resist seismic activity (or buried charges for that matter).
>>
>>33851225
Oh and don't live in a city.
>>
>>33850995
They can, but the plan is to have a wall made out of Siding-Concrete-Gravel-Concrete-Insulation-Drywall

Bottom floor only, but if that's not close to bullet proof I don't know what will be.
>>
>>33851289
Doesn't that only really depend on where you live? Like if I lived in Cali yeah understandable but Alabama? Maybe not.

Also what is the likelihood of coming up against buried charges.
>>
>>33851315
Location can make it more necessary, but you will not regret having a house that is built more stoutly than it actually "needs" to be.

My dad is an engineer and when he went to school at Carnagie Mellon in the 80s the saying was "When in doubt, build it stout, out of stuff you know about"

Back before everything was cheap and underengineered

Earthship with actual building materials.

Find a hilltop with a south-facing slope. Dig a basement, line three sides with CMUs filled with crusher run. Exterior stone or brick veneer as needed, 2x1s with drywall or other finish treatment inside.

South wall is going to be angled glass, two or three layers. You're going to have two raised beds for planting in between each set of glass walls, they need to be terraced or stepped up to the living space. Last one, build a CMU knee wall, fill this one with rebar and concrete. This functions as a Trombe wall but also provides a raised parapet overlooking your most vulnerable area of approach.

If you want to get fancy, go with a reinforced concrete roof, ideally one that can support both solar panels and a green roof. This adds up to a little more than a normal load on a floor, it will need to be designed by an engineer. Make the roof structurally independent of the three CMU walls.

What you end up with will look superficially like a post-modern house, but will be hardened against attack on all but the front, resistant to radiation (even from fallout on the roof) and will be energy efficient with natural heating and cooling processes.

When you are asking around for engineers and GCs just act like a hippy leftist who's all about the environment man, should throw them off sufficiently to keep them from thinking you're building a bunker.
>>
>>33851225
Grow a hedgerow around a wrought iron wall for an extremely difficult to penetrate perimeter, and have a gate so you don't have to get out of the car to enter the doom fortress.

Also, buy a bulletproof car

Additional support beams, using screws instead of nails, steel coupling links between beams at juncture points, use of steel girders instead of lumber for flooring, deeper/thicker foundation/additional foundation pylons, steel door frames, choosing a house design that designates load bearing walls and BACK UP walls that can take the weight in the event of a partial structural collapse.

For additional ideas, look at traditional Japanese home building - very neat solutions to living an area prone to frequent earthquakes

The trick is to make sure that you design a house that is sturdy AND defensible. I wish it would be possible to design a star shaped house/fortress without it being obvious to everyone exactly what I was up to.

No I'm an aircraft mechanic in the air force. They have these armor plates that are ceramic on the outside and backed with an inch of kevlar. Whenever the Velcro quits sticking to the armor mats they throw it away. A good buddy of mine inspects and builds them. He tells me when they're throwing them away. I take some shooting sometimes. Haven't been able to shoot through them yet.

for houses that are already constructed, windows covered with "ornamental" steel bars, doors with a spring mounted framework and hinges on the inside with deadbolts, if you can, a secondary door on the inside as well. generally its to hard to line wall with concrete once they are already up but putting in sheet metal isn't to challenging. that plus creating a garden that allows for plenty of cross fire and the like isn't hard. if anything id make the place look run down and already raided from the outside so people think its not worth it or its already been over while in reality its the hardest fortress in town.
>>
>>33849682
Depending on the scenario leaving is generally your best shot. Anyone can run by and burn your house down, gas you out, or wait until you need to leave to pick you off. Get a group, find a spot with good terrain, and make that your new home.

As far as solar panels and water collection, build your house with a Spanish courtyard and have them in there.

There's no good way to protect wind turbines, although you can minimize their profile.

>>33850819
Doesn't matter. In the US traps in general are illegal. I think the reasoning was to protect emergency personnel such as EMTs and police who may come into your home/lawn to help you

Bingo. What do these people think that they are going to defend against. If you're defending against anything more than the common burglar, things are probably so bad that the threats are more than what you can fortify against.

Unless you literally have a farmhouse like OP's pic, surrounded by farmland and terrain that would allow you to defend it well and store your own food and supplies, maybe make your own bunker.

But anyone else? If you're that outnumbered, they're going to get you eventually or wait you out.
>>
>>33855939
A farmhouse would be good depending on the land. Something on a hill with wide open views is great until someone gets close enough, then it be bad if you have no plan to retreat safely. When the war broke out in Bosnia we went into the woods. It was a waste of time for the military to go there due to the rough terrain which also kept bandits away.

>>33855993
The only issue I see is if you bug out you have no infrastructure at your new location. Unless you own it in which case you can stockpile supplies and equipment there ready for you. Otherwise you are running off to death.

If you live in a more rural area bugging in would be your best situation, make sure you have good all round visibility, make sure there aren't too many obstacles people could hide behind.

If people are getting close enough to firebomb your house or gas you out you are doing something wrong.

Helped my buddy build 2 BBQ areas on his farmland a while back.
Conveniently those "brutalist inspired" concrete and stainless steel BBQs/workbenches:
1) Are pretty bulletproof due to purposeful overbuilding
2) Are pretty innocuous looking and works as you'd expect
3) provide cover for those defending access points, while overseen from the house

There's even what could be either be a firing slit or just an aesthetic gap in the masonry. Tanks are the tall ones and are inset under the BBQ, below ground in a stock standard culvert.

>Pic for ants is related - same general idea of a stand alone permanent BBQ, but different design and materials.

On my own property, we now have some retaining walls that act as reverse ha-has. Rock walls Look pretty and we have seating there, so we made sure we can see the wall side from the house but you can't see that from the edges of the property.

There's berry brambles and some very dense hardy-orange thickets growing around the borders. Berries are delicious, and the oranges are bitter but edible. Good for marmalade. Might be some loose wire tangled up in those brambles, hate to see someone try to drive through it, even though I'd only give them 50/50 odds of making it through just the oranges hedge anyway.

Just some ideas. Increased property value while adding some practical features now, and in any possible future.

>Get your own land, possibly what has running water. Build a little how on your land, than dig a deep and wide pond what sorrunds the hill. Make shure there is only one wood bridge is the connection to the land and it can be destroyed in notime. Build your house on the hill, make shure that the house has a fundation of concreate reinforced with metal and it has two level of basement. Use double layer of bricks and reinforce it from the inside with steel. Use buletproof windows. The windows cover can be steel reinforced concreat with ports to shoot. Make an automatic lock function for these. Get a diesel engine what can produce power, make shure you have underground tanks to store diesel. Dig little underground bunkers what house matchineguns fitted with termaloptics. Make little concreat reinforced tunnels to be able to travel to these bunkers underground. Design and produce equipment to automate these, design the softwer to be able to controll these on your pc. Make bunkers with a simple opening hatch, whats hatch opens and clouses by a button click, house automated mortars in it. Finaly get your drone equiped with termals.

L-plan is always a nice touch.

What the hell was that place before you bought it? underground storage or something?
>>
>>33860196
I think he said it was underground oil storage with access to sea to fill tankers. With the bunker as well.

Full sized bunker with some radar stuff, wasn't it?
Oil storage was a another one I think

My house is interesting. It is only 1 story with a 6 ft high attic. The fun part is the basement. Now hear me out. I would rather have a full basement but instead I have a basement covering 2/3 of the house. The otherside is a partially dug out dirt crawl for a sump pump.

With that in mind I bought thick bags and store them with 2 shovels and a pickaxe in the basement with access to all that wonderful dirt. On a huge chunk of the 1/3 of basement that is a lot of soil. While they may not be sandbags they will cover for radiation and other fun. Then place them on the floor or around windows for awesome fun time.
>>
>>33860383
i keep meaning to fill a few dozen sandbags. i wonder if my town has free access all the time or just before hurricanes.

That's not very good advice if you still want to use the house as a domicile.
>>
>>33861498
In all honesty, shit would have to get pretty damn serious for me to go that far.
>>
>>33859898
what are these?
>>
>>33862824
The ovens.
>>
>>33862824
over pressure valves, they slam shut when a pressure wave from a nuke explosion hit so the bunker pressure remains normal

Pretty good setup really. You just need to have a way to keep it all hidden away until things go bad. I would suggest a few more metal supports on lowest floors. Wood is great and all but becomes explosive under too much pressure.

>Hey Rob... Is that a machine gun nest in your living room?
>No Sam that's the new style of oversized coffee tables, geez get with the times.
>>
>>33864412
Though I don't see why you'd need the extra supports, you shouldn't be removing any walls, you want to keep the rooms separate to prevent fire and give you an advantage if someone does get inside.

The walls will do their job without the added struts.
>>
>>33864496
Additional added supports are needed for holding up the bags on the floors above. Also if bombs do fall they will cause addition stress on the beams. That is seriously a lot of added weight the house was not built for but can be corrected for.
>>
>>33849682

If you're a poorfag than your best bet is to find some asshole that already built one, then pump it full of freon after SHTF and wait for it to air out.

Largest earthquake in recorded US history was when the New Madrid fault busted loose a couple of centuries ago. New England also has some seismic history.

Is this pic someone renovating an old bunker? That'd be awesome.

I wish the government would renovate old bunkers more just for historical preservation.
>>
>>33859457
Wait
Do people renovate bunkers? Is this a thing? That would be amazing.
>>
>>33860113
Do you guys renovate bunkers? That sounds like a dream job.
>>
>>33864658
Flooding and mold will ruin that dream real quick.

>>33860303
Mfw I saw the bunker thread
>>
>>33855799
You realize that's pretty much any rifle right?

Still, sounds like quite an interesting time.

Would a bunker like this be good enough for long term SHTF?

>>33859218
Most state law prohibits any traps in toto. There is no exemption to the law for discriminate weapons, even if the indiscriminate nature of the traps was the original cause of the law.

Separate to its legality as a trap, if it fires more than once it might actually be classified as a machine gun because the user isn't operating each shot "by a single function of the trigger".
>>
>>33864792
Seems fine, I would turn the lowest vault room into master bedroom as well. Multiple families may be a possibility.
>>
>>33864792
why do you need two kitchens and two hidden vaults?
>>
>>33864920
vaults are silly, kitchen is a good idea as backup. or some jackass leave popcorn bag in for too long int the microwave only 1/3 have to suffer.
>>
>>33864920
I'd probably remove the top "living area" and replace it with more storage, for the vaults, a way to store a shit load of valuables or guns

For example, this post.

>Hidden door from shower to gun rack
This is a horrible idea and a great way to rust up your guns.

And I thought the people who insisted on putting their closet right next to the shower were nuts.

2" is absurdly thick. A steel plate 8' tall (most houses have 9' ceilings though) and say 16' long to cover the front room of a house would weigh 10,000 pounds. 5 tons just to have one part of one face of one floor of your house covered.
