Survival Shelters Construction ManualThis document needs to be put into some perspective.I downloaded this back in 2007 or so. (I made this guesstimate based on the last modified date on the file.) Itried then (as I keep records of all the searches I do for reference, plus I like originals and always try to find them), as Ihave tried now (2013) to find the author and or publisher to see if this is copyrighted (and to get a hardcopy). No luck either time.When I went to upload this to my web site, it was just over the allotted 10 MB limit for free webhosting. So, I used a utility to break this down into a Word document that would allow me to divide itinto segments for upload. When I did that, each page came out as an image, which tells me it waslow-tech scanned in the past. Not only that there appears to be some pages missing too (undoubtedlythe page with author and publishing information).Judging by the drawings and few references, I believe the original book was probably done sometime in the 1970’s, with the ‘forward’ added some time in the late 1990’s to early 2000’s. (It talks aboutterrorism on American soil which can be either the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center or the 9/11/2001 ‘airplanebombs’.)Now a fallout shelter may not seem like a necessity today (although I personally would disagree with that),however these shelters can also be used as severe weather safe rooms/storm shelter or shelters toprotect you from ‘marauding hordes’ and the like.If shelters are your interest right now this document along with any of the older US Civil DefenseCivilian Bomb Shelter documents and any new DHS/FEMA storm shelter and safe room documents.(Just remember that the last time I checked the wind experts at Texas A & M School of Engineering, the governmentrecommendations for severe wind doors was still lacking in strength and would not withstand a direct assault from a 2x4debris hit, typical of an EF3-4 tornado.)No matter what, this is a good reference and well worth printing to hard copy.“Today is the Tomorrow that you worried about Yesterday”Yesterday”TNTA 50 something, no longer so urban or in NM, homesteading PrepperI share Preparedness, Homesteading, Self-reliance knowledge & doc's @ http://FormerlyNMUrbanHomesteader.weebly.com
