THE HIGH SECURITY SHELTER, 5TH EDITION Decades of peace and prosperity have led millions of Americans to build homes with only basic protections against adverse weather and mild burglary. Natural disasters have left thousands of homes devastated, and their owners and families without simple comforts or a safe place to ride out the event. Now even bigger threats are looming on the horizon as superpowers build up armies, navies and nuclear weapons. Already the ambitions of Russia and China are being felt on neighboring countries. Americans are totally unprepared for the effects of war, radioactivity, long periods without utilities or modern communications, and the ensuing social unrest. But you can be prepared. In this do-it-yourself guide you will find designs, instructions and resources to help you plan out, build and outfit a high security shelter or fortified closet within an existing house to guard against some or all of these threats. This book explains how to implement all of the most important aspects of a shelter or safe room, including: • Reinforced, fire-resistant structure • Plans and layouts to fit a variety of houses • High security doors and locks • Backup electrical power • Filtered air systems • EMP and surge protection • Tunnels and emergency escape routes • Water storage • Plumbing and electrical systems • Resource lists of products and components If you plan on staying in your existing home through the coming hard times, this book can show you how to build your own secure room block by block and bag of concrete by bag of concrete. For information on adding a shelter during new construction or remodel we refer you to our companion publication, The Secure Home, 4th Edition also by Joel and Andrew Skousen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gun, reloading, storm, and storage room tips.
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2014

Great book. It was written for people who want to build a shelter to protect them from some of the evil that may surround them. I bought it because I was looking for ideas for a gun and reloading room. I figured that if this book has ideas for keeping bullets from getting in it would have good ideas for them not getting out, in case the unthinkable happens. He has a great idea for wall material to preform this task without costing a arm and leg.

The book has more information then what I really needed but because of this book I am now planning for a larger room then first considered because I plan on using it as a storm shelter and keeping more valuables protected from fire or theft. This book is written for building a shelter area in a structure that is already built. The writer has another book if you are planning to build a whole house on this concept but it is much more expensive. This one is good enough for me.

It gives several different options for building a safe shelter in your home, and is detailed in solving any living problems that would happen if you had to stay there for a lengthy time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't spend your money twice, if you already own 'The Secure Home'. (which is the book I recommend you purchase).
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2013

This book has a few more ideas on sheltering in-place, but I would recommend you purchase the author's other book, "The Secure Home". It is 674 pages, 8 1/2" X 11" and very highly recommended by myself. I have read the Secure Home several times and keep referring back to it. It also has a section on sheltering in-place, plus much-much more. Also, If you should ever move to that special other place, you will have the information to construct you own Root Cellar (underground shelter) to prepare for that storm just over the horizon.

Great book, as the title says focused on building a shelter, but there's also a lot of great references in the book. Worth it for the references alone.
