Honestly If I had the filter, I could get it going in a few minutes with tape and plastic, I would have to use dustbuster for overpreassure.

Hey Redge, stupid question here i guess but what do you mean by creating an overpressure.?
What does it do and how would you make it?

As for my 20 minutes? jeez I dont know wtf I would do.. We dont have basements where I live and I wouldnt even know if we have a public shelter or where it would be.. I sure wish it was in my budget to build a good, solid and roomy underground shelter. Maybe even doing like I've seen on the internet and something a really old friend of mine did. He lived on about 100 acres in in the East TX Piney Woods, he bought an old school bus body, minus the engine and buried it about 50 yards from his home. I know that it isnt a huge deterrent against radiation, unless you fortify it with concrete and steel but it would definitely be better than nothing and it had a generator. Its original purpose was to be a tornado shelter but we used it to party in and as teenagers, it was great spot to "entertain" our girlfriends

I think it was Paul Newman who said 'If you ever have a plan, you're screwed'.
So, has everyone in the US got a list of things 'to do' stuck on the fridge door?

You know: milk, bread, oh in case of radioactivity please turn over.

I'm not sure we English have shelters (apart from 'important' people).
But we are as a nation renowned for our garden sheds.
Indeed, all our important inventions have apparently eminated from such structures.

Now our sheds are generally lapped wooden material given to healthy ventilation, so not much good regarding fallout.

Travelling to fetch the kids, nope, our roads are clogged up anyway.
Stockpiling food, nope, we love our fish and chips.

Twenty minutes to button up - most people here would go to the nearest pub and have a beer or ten.

Me, I'll just head down to the local airfield and jump in a plane.
WHO SAID FLYING WAS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?

overpreasure system is where you keep the preasure inside higher then outside, so no outside gas leaks in. the way you do it is just have a filter attached to a pump moving clean air in, then no bad air will drift in. all your leaks in your house are like pin holes in a ballon constintly being blown up by air intake.
