LMAO. Designed with zero thought to how intolerable it would be. Note the happy Wife doing the chores while the man of the house sits with pipe and slippers and newspaper. There's even an exercise bike so SHE can charge the batteries.
Oh. And picture shows wife and her friend building it, presumably while he's at the office. What they build looks like a 2m cubed grave in which 3 adults and a child will survive a few weeks. Would barely hold my baked beans stash.

Re: Fallout Shelter Handbook :)
A pal and I visited one of the big local administration bunkers where senior military and civil leadership personnel would have holed up for months until the slag cooled down enough to come back out. He's very astute - about half-way through he said "They'd have gone mad, wouldn't they? The military would have kept it together for a bit longer but they'd have all gone mad in the end". He's probably right.
Re: Fallout Shelter Handbook :)
In the early 1980s I attended a week long judo course held on a local military base. The first day included an intro to say that the base had it's own fall out shelter. If the sirens went off everyone on the course would be allowed in. The course attendees were a mix of military and civilians of both genders. I do wonder how well I and the other 15 or so women on the course would have coped after a few weeks. I suspect that our gender may have been the main reason we were welcome and we may have regretted taking up the offer.
Re: Fallout Shelter Handbook :)
I think the film ‘Threads’ detailed quite well what the occupants of a gvt shelter would experience. Back in the 80’s , the threat of nuclear war was real. If you haven’t seen the film, then find the time to do so. It is chilling.
