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:

(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.)

  • Chris Burying the steel culvert in the soil will cause condensation to the point of ugly black mildew, if you can insulate the culvert from the soil then you may stop it before it starts.

  • Buy 50ft of 14ft tall steel culvert. Bury under 8ft of soil. The culvert is designed to hold that much soil on top without crushing. You can then frame in everything else, running pipe/wire under the floor.
  • Right now, my plans are really simple.

    I plan on cutting a 15 to 20 foot trench into the side of a hill, then backing in a travel trailer.

    I'll then place logs over the opening and a layer of corrigated iron sheeting then a couple of feet of dirt.

    The front opening will be logs and rocks.
