There were several possible private shelter designs to build both underground and overground in such areas as the basement or your backyard.
Instructional manuals and Tv shows demonstrated to the american public how to build them as a do it yourself project.

By Kenneth D. Rose

Some people prepared for a nuclear attack from the USSR, which would never come. A lot of these shelters are being discovered in people's backyards today..

Used too, I forget to add that in
Shelter: Has right angle door
Radiation: Let me in let me innnnn!

*"Let me in! LEMME INNAUAISIANQUAH"*
Ours had a right angle door! Glad radiation knew right from left!
My Dee built a fallout shelter in our first home. It was a legit fallout shelter, built to specifications and was completely underground, accessible from the existing basement by a small hallway (with a turn). It also had an air access. He was serious about protecting his family. Not only that, but my first job at First Federal in Winston-Salem had a legit fallout shelter that was pretty much like a tomb/vault. It definitely seemed bomb-proof with all the reinforcements - I figure it was for the adjacent area and not just the bank! When Dee built our second home, it contained a provision for a fallout shelter, of sorts, but wasn't as elaborate as the first one, which was built in the 1950's.
Lmao just build obsidian around it

Step 1:
Step 2: Lay some brick
Step 3: make it 20 feet or more underground
Step 4: paint it or line it with lead
Step 5: *Build a large water tank and food pantry connected to the shelter with a door, and fill it with enough supplies to last 5 years*
Step 6: *Cooling fans*
Step 7: be sure to obtain possible forms of currency, such as fresh water, paper money, or other items
Step 8: *high quality air and water filters*
Step 9: gather 3 rifles, 2 shotguns, 5 pistols, and 2 sniper rifles. (Possible 2 machine guns if enough people/experience)
Step 10: Air circulation
Step 11: kitchen, restrooms, and at least 2 bedrooms that can hold 4 people each
(Optional) Step 12: The "fun" room... Hehehe
Step 13: an alternative entrance that can be used to access the shelter within 2 minutes, and an exit that can be used to exit within 5 minutes.
Step 14: 3 to 10 or more fallout suits
Step 15: game room
Step 16: ???
Step 17: Profit.
Or you can also...
*Rolling stones starts playing *
*PAINT IT PAINT IT PAINT IT PAINT IT BLACK*
20 feet underground in addition to the bricks & concrete will do a solid job with regards to the radiation already.
Odds are that if you're close enough for the radiation to get through that much, you're *way* too close to survive the actual bomb blast itself.

@@Dabadi4834 Robert Edwin House, 261, President, CEO, and sole proprietor of the New Vegas Strip, industrialist and technologist, founder, President, and CEO of the multi-billion-dollar pre-war robotics and software corporation, RobCo Industries, has died.
Generally recognized by Mr. House to be mankind's only hope of long-term survival, Mr. House's passing may well sound a death knell for the entire human race.
Lost forever is his bounty of knowledge concerning human longevity, the depth and breadth of which could, as he was apt to say, "fill several text books." He was not exaggerating. Though he did not achieve his goal of functional immortality, let us not forget that he died at the age of 261. How many people do that? I mean, come on.
Also lost forever are House's singular personality, force of will, vision, and leadership ability. The probability of an equally capable figure emerging from the current human population to lead mankind to a future of equivalent quality is less than 0.000112% by objective measures too complex to detail in this obituary.
Personality and force of will: Born June 25th, 2020, House was orphaned at an early age when his parents died in a freak accident (auto gyro, lightning). Though cheated of his inheritance, House attended the prestigious Institute in Massachusetts and founded RobCo Industries on his 22nd birthday. Within five years, it was one of the most profitable corporations on Earth.
Vision: By 2065, House was certain that an atomic war would soon devastate the planet. At great personal expense, he developed technologies to ensure the structural integrity of the city of Las Vegas (as it was known at the time). On the day of the great war, 77 atomic warheads targeted the city. Mr. House defeated them all. Talk about vision!
Leadership: Mr. House survived the war, of course, and would later recruit the Three Families, negotiate the Treaty of New Vegas, and rebuild the Vegas Strip. While these achievements yielded many immediate benefits, they were all part of House's master plan to re-ignite mankind's quest for technological advancement, a plan without which the human race has nowhere to go, and nowhere to turn.

I use to Live in Norfolk VA and there was old Fallout shelters all over the damn place from the cold war days and it was more interesting because it was so close to the base. I grew up in a Military and most of the old house near base had homemade shelters featured in this video. Thanks Simple history for helping explain the Propose of these structures that some don't know about today.
Yoo I used to live in Norfolk! I never really noticed them or even seen any

I grew up in a suburb of a major American city, and my neighbor had transformed the basement of his rancher style (one floor) home into a fallout shelter during the 60’s. I never got to see it, but from what I’ve heard it was considered “world class” at the time it was constructed, plus it added massive resale value to the property.
My Dee (Daddy) did this to our rancher back before I was born in 1966. It was just off the main basement. It was pretty sweet.
Thanks i wondered how to do this.
You taught me so much about history thank you so much

Guys I was alive in 1962.. the scare was there but people lived with it long enough they just didn’t take it seriously..
We had a garage that was a compartmentalism fallout shelter..
There was a lot of these kinds of things around.
Yes you could build a shelter in your basement.. a deep corner that was blocked off was simple enough to do.
But what people ended up doing is putting in a sleeping shelter like a tornado shelter then blocking entrances and windows of the basement to keep them clean.. sandbags was a common way.
So the majority of your time would be spent in the shelter but you used the entire basement for storage.
Blast effect wasn’t something that suburban people really worried about because they were not around strategic targets..
Thank you so much I will definitely be using this in the coming weeks 😘

Thanks for the tutorial
Do a same version on it, on the USSR's side.
this but translated in Russian
Well for all of the Soviet Union's faults, of which there were many, preparing for nuclear war wasn't one of them. Most towns and small cities with a large number of engineers, doctors, professors, etc. had fallout shelters installed in most basements of apartment complexes and homes (because the smart people are important). For larger city's like Moscow the local metro tunnels and stations were built to withstand a near direct hit from most atomic bombs and stockpiled with weapons, food, water, medical supplies, and NBC gear. However this is because the party controlled all the mony and the workers didn't really have a choice in the matter of building these shelters.
I think they were more worried about food and paying back the land lease lmao
@@LazyTacoProductions Actually USSR had a pretty good life style after Stalin's death and Kruschev to power.
Couple of things, I actually remember having a duck and cover drill in school in the early 80's. Second, the booklet actually recommended digging a latrine hole and sectioning off the toilet with walls and to keep a supply of lime on hand to be able to pour on the latrines hole every few uses. It also advised for a hand pump well if possible be dug inside the shelter, the garbage can and canned water was the least desirable way to go about it. The heat issue was only a problem in the above ground shelters in certain areas like FL and AZ and those built with less than adequate wall and roof thickness.
