Home sweet tunnel anyone? Anyone living underground such as in a tunnel? If so, tell me a little about it.

The video for Falling Down The Mountain by INXS was filmed out there back in 1985...

Would be great to hear anything you have to share, Rev. :bear_thumb:

Re: Home sweet tunnel anyone? I'm just a little fuzzy on whether or not we're talking about deliberate subteranean homes or existing underground tunnel systems found in many cities? I lived in a storm drain for a while. There was a steady stream of water at the bottom of the tunnel that could be used to turn a paddlewheel to run an induction generator capable of running a small lightbulb from a flashlight. A platform can be built above the average water line and a grating attached to either end to keep out small animals. Flooding is the biggest concern, just know the exit points and don't leave anything down there that is liable to water dammage. Since the tunnel systems cover most of the city you can move around unobserved just about anywhere once you know the layout. I'd rather live in the woods personally but if you need to hide quick it'll do.

Re: Home sweet tunnel anyone? In a desert type climate underground is great - both cooler in summer and warmer in winter than topside and where the water table is deep, no water sealing issues but runoff when it rains. The Pueblo dwellings were partially underground, built in natural shelf type shallow caves and they built the open side. I would really like a modern house like that. They often faced south too and got solar heat in winter but shade in summer. And they were easy to defend. I would like being out of the line of fire of all the rays topside... radio, cell phone, plus the climate control of the rock temperature and the good storage temperature for food supplies. If I wanted to build a million dollar place on some land I think that would be my preferred kind of dwelling. But in wet climates I would only be interested in being well above the water table and the 100,000 year flood plain, like 3/4 up a hillside, away from the natural drainage pattern. It is hard to seal water out well.

Re: Home sweet tunnel anyone? Saw a picture recently of a "redneck" storm shelter. It was of a full sized schoolbus dozered into a hillside with just the rear doors showing.

Re: Home sweet tunnel anyone? did a lot of exploring in storm drains even set up my first bug out spot (due to nuc) in one where I was had an abundance of fish and other wildlife but rev I want to hear about living in one? have traveled for miles in them came up in peoples back yards or in different suburbs traveled the smaller tunnels lying down on skateboards (saved the knees)

Not exactly how you describe it but would this be it?

Rev, do you mind elaborating?

school bus shelter? I wonder how well that would work, has to be better than a mobile home in a tornado.:coolbeer:
