If you are familiar with the ZetaTalk trench shelter, please read this first blog as it talks about the deficiencies inherent in that design.

These next blogs are culminations of group efforts and cover as many scenarios as we could think of and modifications that could make the shallow trench shelter a more secure shelter.

The issue of radiation (solar or nuclear) was raised and this blog talks about it and how to protect yourself:

This was my original version of a enhanced shallow trench shelter, with a ferro-cement dome:

(Sorry, the link to the sunlife site still works but the information is no longer available.  You can look around for another site with plans to build a ROUND dome--don't go geodesic, it is reported there are high divorce rates associated with it, thus it seems to amplify bad vibes.)

A suggestion has been made about blogs that just post links to news articles.  It would be good to also post some commentary or analysis along with the link, such as perhaps how it relates to Planet X, or how you notice a trend is growing stronger.

Since I post so many newslink blogs, it starts with me.  One reason I will post a newslink as a blog is to showcase a good picture.  There's not much point in posting same old, same old pictures, like someone shoveling snow.

Another idea is for routine newslinks, like another winter storm or such, to be posted in the sidebar, perhaps "Daily Earthchange News" or something and leave the blogs and discussions open for other things.  The downside to this idea is that no one could post a comment.  Or, we could leave it to someone with a comment to turn it into a blog or discussion.

What do you all think?
