The Nuclear Bunker Experiment

  Hygiene while trying to survive inside a bunker is of paramount importance - especially since clean running water and toilet facilities will not be available if a nuclear emergency took place. According to the book Nuclear War Survival Skills , "water-borne diseases probably would kill more survivors of a nuclear attack than would fallout- contaminated water." Therefore the storage of clean fallout free water would be life saving. Bottled water can be purchased cheaply and stored for quite a long time. Care should be taken once opened or using alternative means of water storage.  We all need to go to the toilet and take it for granted how easily waste products are removed from our homes each time we need to use the toilet - but imagine if the power supplies vanish and flushing no longer works. Added to this, imagine you are trying to survive underground in a bunker without running water or proper toilet facilities...... the smells, the germs and the danger to health are all...

If you are locked away inside a bunker during an emergency, you can be pretty sure it is going to get wet and moist inside. After all, we still have to breathe (thankfully) and do our best to survive whatever circumstances come out way! Dehumidifier pad sets will be ideal for soaking up all that moisture and hopefully keep the inside of the bunker safe from mould and moisture.  If a nuclear blast meant being locked away for days on end, the pads would at least help. Added to this week's shopping buys, I've added more nuts for the protein value and beetroot just because I'd miss eating all the vegetables I normally eat each week
