Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Uline is always a great source for those kind of stuffs... e.g. http://www.uline.com/BL_5565/Sand-Ba...FWQDQAodUiAAigOriginally Posted by Omicron
These are all good things to have around, and may well be useful if the SHTF. But I tend to subscribe to the "hide in plain sight" philosophy myself.
Just curious, where did you get 800 empty sandbags and the sheet steel?
As someone interested in starting an online retail business... Uline is an amazing resource.

Picked the stuff up at the flea market. I plan on hiding in plain site but can still fortify. I will use the sand bags and sheet steel inside residence and barn. I was thinking that i could use the chain link on inside of the windows to help stop intruders. I will also be utilizing a secret escape tunnel in case I need to evacuate then move to my secondary location. Thoughts or ideas?
Sewer pipe and or precast concrete. Those large concrete sections are small arms resistant able to run through. AND if placed correctly can be used as storage or extra bunkers. With pre planning you can set up your own shelter by pouring it your self. There are places that also deal in recycled concrete, this would give you a moderately fortified bunker area.
Give some consideration to the stainless 3' diameter lines out there. Not a run through in hurry, but you would still have emergency outlets as needed.
Here are a few links for both fiberglass and concrete.

Its probably a good idea to always think to yourself, "If I wanted to get in here, how/what would I do?" Also, an evac situation could be potential to leave important things behind, so be careful and plan accordingly. Some type of surveilance might be a good idea. At least that way you can be sure of the situation and what you're up against.
Something to think about though: Say you've evacuated to your 2nd locale and you find.... someone else already there. Do you have a plan for that yet?

Looks great ChunkyMonkey, you should lay some sod over it so it disappears.. Perfect cover and concealment and when you need it, just pull the sod off. It won't be hard to pull or scrape off of the steel and concrete.
