It's now sometime in history catching up on 1958. We're developing a bomb shelter underground incase of an extreme emergency due to suspicion of a nuclear war. We're now gathering our utilities, and creating our underground habitat in which we're going to have to live in for 2 years. We need to cover the 3 A's, we need to stay Alive, Amused, and Anxious for anything coming our way. That is how we're going to develop our list of things that we will need to keep the 3 A's. We are working with a 100 X 200 foot space, underneath the house that we reside in, the neighbors are clueless because if they knew, when the terror struck, then we'd have no choice but to rid of them due to a lack of supplies for the neighborhood. This a complete secret and we will start with the necessities; which are food, water, and entertainment because 2 years is a long time to be without any thing to keep us occupied, and without entertainment we would most likely become insane. The way we're going to work this chamber is: we're going to have a bathroom system. Our toilet will work as a small box room, with a door that opens and closes and there will be water already in the tank to begin with before we live there so that the water will not be contaminated, and it will have a lever that opens and closes the surface of the first bowl/tank, to the massive tank below the toilet, this massive tank will basically be under the center of our temporary residence and will be used for multiple solutions. Secondly there will be no sinks, but there will be a shower, the shower will have water but the water will be in overhead buckets filled with boiled, purified water that has been slightly cooled and there will be a lever in the shower, to pull down the bucket into a funnel leading into the showerhead which will come out, onto you, and into the drain. The drain will then lead into another tank, the same as the septic tank for the toilet, which will flow through a series of filters and strainers into a tank of water that we can reboil and purify, to use over again. We will have a Kitchen where we will have a boiling pot, and a coal stove. We will have a few cupboards for our bowls, forks, spoons, plates, and cups. We will use plastic cups, plates, and bowls, as we do not want to break any of our untensils because we're only taking one cup, bowl, fork, spoon, plate per person. We will have a dining room where we will have a table and 2 chairs made out of metal so we are not tempted to throw the table into the fire pit if it were wooden. We will have a storage room where we will store all the food, supplies, and utilites, for during and after the fallout. Our stock of food will consist of 2 years worth of jarred, canned, packaged, compressed, or anything that is already ready to eat food. We will have jarred fruits, such as peaches and apples. We will have canned vegetables that we can heat up or boil. We will have MRE's that we got a hold of from a friend in the army who was storing them at his residence, and giving some to us weekly. We will have packaged noodles that can be boiled or cooked. Most importantly we will have jars of drinking water that we can drink, we have collected jars and we plan to store about 2920 jars of water, thats 2 jars of water per day for 2 years for 2 people, strictly for drinking water. The storage room is also where we will keep our pre-fueled motorcycles and fuel cannisters. We will need these motorcycles for after the fallout, so we can move around quickly above ground. As for bedrooms we will have one bedroom to save on building work, and we will have 2 seperate cots in the bedroom with a lite blanket on top and a heavy blanket underneath incase of cold conditions, we will have sleeping bags, jackets, gloves, scarves and heavy snow pants, incase of extremely cold weather conditions when the fallout will be blocking the sun, we will have to stay warm so we will have 2 of each of these items for each person. These items will be stored in duffle bags also under each of the cots. For clothes we will take 14 pairs of underwear, socks, pants, and shirts per person. This will account for a 2 week cycle. If you wear something on day one of the cycle, you will re wear it on day 1 of the next cycle, this should keep all the clothes evenly clean, if something needs clean drastically, we will fill a bucket with boiling water, and get a bar of soap from the storage room, and clean the item of clothing. Then dump the bucket into the septic tank. Then the last room, the living room, will have all of our entertainment needs. It will have a bookshelf for books to read, a record player with a shelf full of records, and an easel, pen and paper, for our creative artistic needs. These things will help us stay entertained as we will be bored for 2 years not doing anything. In the living room we will have a tredmill, heavy free weights, benches, bars, and dumbells, to keep us physically fit. Lastly, our door to our residence, which is airtight, will lead to a small tunnel with another airtight door at the end, and then a staircase, to yet another basic airtight-overhead-door on hinges, to go into the garage of our residence. Next to the door inside the shelter is where our air purification system will be located. We will have a massive vaccumm, this vaccumm will be rigged by us to have a giant 2 inch thick plastic tube that attatches to one vent in the ventilation system throughout the shelter, each vent opening in the system will have a hepa filter behind the opening of the vent. We will have a generator with only enough "juice" in it to provide energy to start this vaccumm once a day for air filtering. The way this will work is the vaccumm will have a tube out the back that goes underground into an airtight vault, far from the septic tank underground that will store anything that we suck from the air. The purpose of the hepa filters is to bring any pollutatns in the air to the filter where we will trap them and close the vents and let the vaccumm suck them up and then close the vault after it is over. This will help us keep healthy air, considering HEPA filters were originated during WWII to protect soldiers from radioactive particles on the battlefield. Also as they, we will have masks such as the ones they used stored in our rooms incase of a disaster with the ventilation system. They should protect us until we solve the problems. Finally after the fallout has gone, we will safely open all of our airtight doors, and start on our way out to the new land, with our motorcycles revved and ready for action. We will go on a search to rebuild our homes, and anything that has been destroyed by the explosions or nuclear winds. We will start by replanting crops and rebuilding our homes. We will also have to drive around for miles looking to locate anybody else that has survived the disaster so we can reproduce and continue generations as we will need to not only rebuild our lives, but society as a whole. Luckily if we survive there is no where to go but up. We will continue to strive and try to recreate a land that has been massacred by a nuclear war. We will save things from the past to show that this is real, and we will write history from that point on, so it is never forgotten what had happened to the beautiful land that is now just a memory.
