I'm not sure how much better this mini nuclear survival shelter would be than just hiding in the basement, but it's still pretty cool that something like this could be built for as little as $1500. Do any of my readers have disaster shelters?
I suppose I'm mostly intruigued by the possibility of building other things out of metal than the shelter described.
Update:
Or why get the mini version when you could install an Earthcom 70-128 Earth Berm Shelter to save 200 of your closest friends?
Well, basements are very, very rare here in Texas. You find people with storm cellars, but this would certainly be better protection against fallout and gamma bursts than a storm cellar. Given a day or two, you could come up with comparable protection against fallout with a shovel and improvised materials, but this is still going to do better against gamma, and it doesn't require you to redig it every time a heavy rain comes.
