The Nuclear Bunker Experiment

  With no running water inside the nuclear bunker and no access to the outside world, not even an electric toothbrush to help - simple things like brushing your teeth after an atomic bomb has dropped 100 miles away, becomes more difficult. Limited bottled water test must be used for more important things like drinking, results in little to no waste.  Even toothpaste won't last forever as the means of production are crushed due to the nuclear war.  Survival for the teeth may be a problem in the near future.....

  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...

Imagine if the taps stopped working and the water supply suddenly ended. It's a scary thought that we all hope would never happen. If a war or nuclear attack were to take place, the water supplies could be affected and we would need to find other water sources if we wanted to survive. My friend has been saving his empty plastic bottles, which will come on handy inside the bunker for washing and cleaning. I will be buying bottled water over the coming days solely for drinking if an emergency arose. The "Rule Of 3" says that a person can live 3 minutes without air (oxygen), 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food."
