Former plumber Colin Furze (pictured), 36, says he has dreamt of having his own secret lair since he was a child. So he spent two months building the 16ft x 20ft man cave underneath the garden of his modest semi-detached house in Stamford, Lincolnshire

I don’t think he understands the concept of “secret lair.”

Real men don’t have ‘man caves’

‘men’ who have man caves are just succumbing to an overbearing wife who wants to extend her influence over him by outlining where he must go.

She sends the kids to their rooms, her husband to his ‘man cave’, and then she can continue to run the household without the distractions of ‘those unruly kids and husband’.

This violates one of the Fourth Rule of Prep Club, which clearly states:

No more than two people to a retreat; one of them must be a buxom blonde co-ed for repopulating the species.

IMHO About 95% of surviving THE APOCALYPSE as an individual or very small group in a bunker
would be in making sure the location of your bunker is secret and remains secret.

This is the crazy Brit who teaches you to build your own rocket engines on youtube (and then he straps them to things like bicycles!)

Is this the greatest man-cave ever?

No. Needs one other feature. And a pal to turn the other key.

Seems like it could do for some lightweight fun, but it wouldn’t hold up well in a true SHTF time...

Milling machine, Engine lathe, Precision Grinder, arc welder, Oxy actelyne set-up, 6,000 lbs of assorted steel.

That man cave looks British.

Hate the term man cave. Always liked and still prefer the word “den”
