And how far deep do we have to dig down.

To make an effective fall out shelter

I have enough food here to last me for years

You want at least three feet of dirt above you

.

But I also have a roll of lead foil

And the lead would protect from radiation

Yes

Trying to find a PDF you can download

Oh okay? And could you just connect a bury some semi containers?

Just trying to thing of different ideas, and how how would ventilation work?

We started to attempt that, but our water table is too high believe it or not

And I'm on a freaking Hill

Our water table is 25 feet down

During a drought is 60 feet down

The semi trailers?

Or containers sorry?

We had 12 foot containers two of them

After we dug the hole Water started coming up so that through the whole idea out the window

No it would

In my area there are 2 mine shaft that both have water

Not it wouldn’t maybe

If things got really bad

What you made a receding wall

The water would eventually intrude into the bottom of the containers

The water comes up from underneath

So you’d be stuck with a titanic underground

When we get a good Monsoon here Springs leak out water all over the place

So there’s no way to redirect said water?

No it's our aquifer

That's why I went with the portable shelters

The normal half life of Fallout would require you stay protected for two weeks

3 feet of dirt minimum

My plan is to lay down plastic sheeting over the dirt that can be pulled off buy rope thereby taking the fall out with it

With multiple layers of plastic sheeting I can strip off each layer several days apart

So I'm hoping to get by with just two or three feet of dirt

This is the best damn book you'll ever fine about surviving a nuclear war

It is 300 + pages

That covers every aspect
