As nuclear weaponry and the possibility of biochemical warfare has increased, survivalists have begun making provisions to survive the worst case scenario. Surviving in an underground bunker takes incredible resilience and preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How long you can survive within an underground bunker depends entirely on how well equipped you are and how sturdy your bunker is built. Skilled and prepared survivalists can survive for years in a stable bunker that has access to fresh water and a supply of food.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It takes research and dedication to prepare an underground bunker in order to survive long enough to outlive whatever disaster has ravaged the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a total of known 14 000 nuclear weapons that are held by the world powers. 90% of these weapons are held by the United States and Russia alone. The chances of a nuclear warfare breaking out and forcing society into underground bunkers are a real possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Modern nuclear weapons have a blast radius powerful enough to wipe out entire cities. Beyond the initial blast of a nuclear weapon wiping out most of civilization within the area that it has impacted, the chemicals omitted from a blast will sit in the atmosphere for decades creating a nuclear winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A nuclear winter and the damage from the initial blast will create a severe food storage, decrease global temperatures to dangerous levels and further create an environment for diseases to fester. Only the best prepared survivalists can survive this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In additional to nuclear warfare, superbugs and infections can lead societies to isolate underground as well as potential natural disasters. As global warming has wreaked havoc on natural ecosystems, massive natural disasters and out of control diseases have become a real potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When underground bunkers first become a potential reality, it was nearly impossible for society to envision that they may be forced underground for a number of years in order to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Underground grew in popularity in the 1940\u2019s during the time of nuclear warfare\u2019s birth, however they became a real potential as the tensions between the Superpowers of the Cold War grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was during the 1960\u2019s that John F. Kennedy began designating potential buildings across the United States in an attempt to save 50 million American\u2019s if the Soviet Union were to drop a nuclear bomb on the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the end of the Cold War, the United States and Russia have the potential to enter into a nuclear war at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, survivalists have built underground bunkers with the intention of surviving any possible nuclear attack, disaster or disease that could potentially run rampant. In order to build a successful bunker, you must have a large amount of cash to invest into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A good bunker must be able to survive a nuclear blast and the harsh natural environment. It therefore must have a sturdy structure capable of withstanding these circumstances. As it is underground, it must maintain a fresh access of airflow and clean water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In an ideal situation your bunker would have access to electricity, but it is most likely that you won\u2019t have access to this if major city substations are taken out. If the majority of humanity is wiped it, it is likely that no one will be maintaining substations and infrastructure and your bunker won\u2019t have electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Are The Chances That You Would Need An Underground Bunker?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
