How to Build an Underground Bunker
https://www.thereadystore.com/diy/17752/how-to-build-an-underground-bunker/

Underground bunkers became extremely popular during the Cold War Era. Today, we still have a need to protect ourselves from unforeseen dangers. A backyard bunker may be exactly what you need to protect your family.

When building an underground shelter make sure to have at least 2 feet of dirt over the top. This layer of Earth will protect your family from gamma radiation in the event of a nuclear attack. The deeper the bunker the better. Keep in mind air can get stale quickly underground. Invest in a good air exchanger and filtration system. Make sure the door opens towards the inside so you can still get out if something falls and blocks the door. Having a second emergency exit is recommended. ---CONTINUED---

Concrete block DIY Storm Shelter 12x20 foot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tsqK5pbxcs&fbclid=IwAR2UGpKiSj-ZxKnMHAUWffMbBH-srXZkEutcwGRbdl6KzYhSpqesT9YBP8w

Early in 2012 I built a storm shelter for my family. It's a twelve by twenty concrete block structure designed to be bermed over. Total cost was just over $3,000.
I made a video to walk people through the process; I had never done anything with concrete before this project, so this video is designed to take a beginner and explain everything I had to learn in order to do this.

For some preppers, building up a sufficient amount of food and water storage is just the first step in their emergency preparedness plan. Some have also planned to have a bunker or bomb shelter on their property in the extreme cases that a natural disaster, civil unrest or nuclear attack were to happen and they didn’t want to leave or have a way to transport all of their reserves.
