Hide in plain sight bunker?

Was bored so I made a doodle. Was pondering ways to utilize a shipping container as well as creating a good shelter/storage that wouldn't be too obvious. Burying a container is a bad idea. To that idea I thought "why not use the container as camouflage while offering non-vital storage.
In a nutshell I came up with this,probably not an original idea but I'm still playing around with it.
Start by excavating a hole the same length and width as the container, in my case 8x40'. Pour walls 12' high and leave one end with a door size opening. That doorway will lead to a culvert tunnel as an alternate entry/egress point. Set container on new "basement" and backfill it all so only the container is exposed. Build a trapdoor in the containers floor in such a way as to keep it well hidden from plain view and only able to be opened by some sort of trip latch mechanism. Use the container for mundane stuff which is not likely to draw attention post shtf and which isn't irreplaceable.
Probably been done a lot but I just figured I'd post my pathetic sketch. A container can be boring enough that it may act as simple yet purposeful camouflage.
