Fallout Shelter

Since we need to be able to get to our shelter in very short time, we decided to build it in our backyard, which is fenced in. It will be well covered with fake grass and practically

untraceable for anyone to find. For us, we will obviously be able to find exactly where it is

an have very easy access to it.

Where are we?!

Upon digging up all the dirt we need to put it somewhere. We had decided to put the dirt in layers all along the rest of our yard. At

first we had though to stack it up as a wall, but then someone would realize what is going

on. Too, the extra layer of dirt on top can reinforce the ceiling above us.

Where does all the dirt go?!

Some of the things used to build our fallout shelter can include sand, bricks, and concrete

blocks. The sand makes it dense enough in case of the nuclear fallout. Bricks are

reinforcements to hold up the walls a little bit more. The blocks can also be stacked as

more reinforcements. In the layers there will be insulation. On the ceilings there will be

the holes to have the filtering system for air. There will be fans by these holes to keep the air circulating and also to keep things cool if it gets too hot. To keep snug we will have a

wood stove.

What do we build our shelter with?!

Being that we need to live in there for 2 years, we need plenty of space to be in, not too

much, but just enough. In this shelter you will first walk down a ramp into a little room. This little room will be air-locked and it is

also where the outside people will never pass. It is extremely reinforced with steel plates to make sure no one gets in. Upon walking in,

there will be 11 rooms.

The Design

One of the most important rooms is the generator room. This will keep all of the

electricity on and allow our food to remain edible. Beings that there is 2 people there,

we will have a room for each person, and one extra room if it is needed. The bathroom and shower room will be separate. The storage

room will probably be the biggest room in the whole place. There will be air vents to keep air circulating throughout the area. Since we

have to store things for 2 years and after those 2 years, there will need to be plenty of

space.

Supplies Needed In The Shelter

If someone were to try and get into our shelter we will go by any means to make sure we stay

safe. We will have a shotgun next to the airlock room just incase someone decides to

try and get in.

Keep 'Em Out

After 2 years have gone by, we need means of transportation. This is where our Ford Super Delux comes into play. The gas that we have saved in our storage will be used to help us get around until we can find a) other people or b) somewhere else to stay. Going out in

this world we will have to be safe, therefore we will be bringing guns to keep off all the

unwanted. Remaining in the shelter for sometime will allow us to think on how to rebuild things for a place to stay above

ground.

2 Years Go By Like a Flash

To help rebuild the United States of America, we need to make a plan for future use and

references. Some things that we would like to keep for future use would be certain medical information that could save lives. Also the

medicine that can treat these certain problems. Blue prints is also one thing that

could help people rebuild the actually building part. Scientific notes and formulas are also a good thing to have for people to look back on and figure out certain things.

One other thing that would be useful is using the trading idea.
