Letter Re: Advice on Constructing a Secure Underground Shelter
Sir:
I have read your web site and thanks for posting it. I am presently purchasing
seven acres in Wyoming with an existing log home. We are going to build a
new home
on the same property and would like to
invest in a good attached underground bunker. Can you please tell me where
I can find decent plans and specs for
a bunker to sustain five adults and three
children? I would like to branch it off of our new basement. I would really
appreciate it. God Bless, Mel
JWR Replies: I would recommend Safecastle.
They have lots of experience with both aboveground and underground shelters.
They work with
local contractors
from coast to
coast. They use their blueprints (tailored to your specifications, on request),
and supply key components such as inward-opening vault doors and HEPA air
filters (assuming that you want your vault to double as a fallout shelter).
The rest of the supplies
(rebar, forms, concrete, etc.) are sourced locally. They have a nice four
color brochure that they mail to SurvivalBlog readers, upon request. But
first, see the
Safecastle web site.
