I'm completely new to prepping. I've gotten very interested in it after watching Doomsday Preppers on National Geographic. I have loads to learn on just about every topic there is - self defense, food, medicine, shelter, etc... I'm hoping to find out all I need by browsing the forums and asking questions.
I am a do-it-yourself kind of guy so I like to be creative. One thing I'm hoping to learn more about is how to build an underground shelter using a shipping conex (Or if underground shelters are even necessary- or if shipping conexes are the best option). I hope to do this when I've saved up enough money to buy some land to bury one on.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome from Texas.

A bit of loking and you will find a Conex container is not a a good idea as an underground bunker. The containers are built to support weight on the pillars that make up the 4 corners. The sheathing is not designed to support much weight since it is just a skin. It's a shame, because they do, at first glance, seem like the perfect affordable bunker.

Just because they aren't good candidates for bunkers doesn't mean they aren't a great choice for economical shelter in an out of the way location.
