So this is what they did. Shelters, preferably... 3/4 of the way up a very tall hill dug in at least 15 feet to 20 feet. Roofs *slabs of rock* Covered with layers of sloping dirt. Strong thick Walls of rocks bracing ceiling *roof* Covered with packed dirt sloped away.. Letting water run down and away from a shelter that now helps in event of the following, Searing solar heat, Torrential rains, Violent winds, Freezing colds, and more.

 

 

Common SENSE says if possible(???) choose area above 3,500 ft.
 If not... then on top of highest hill area possible!
 And, SHELTERS shape as a dome on very TOP of hill.
 Build walls and roof same as above... thick, extremely, strongly supported so water runs down and away.

 Next and VERY IMPORTANT... RESEARCH! Even... Google up some areas!
 If possible.... choose within walking distance.. of.. A FARMING AREA!
 raising various (hand to mouth) eatable crops including even orchards. Again, if possible, FARMS! ... Ones you can look down on! Once the storms) are over... chances are... just like wild flowers in Spring... you will see the growths of what was those farms crops bringing forth food  You may just be that farmer.
 Now, in the shelters) you have... along with other supplies you kept... benches or beds supported by blocks of SALT!

 You will find your salt more important than all the gold and silver in the world.
 With salt be able to preserve foodstuffs... some set out properly, perhaps, bring some animals and birds into your area.
 Plus, YOU'RE RICH! Salt, you have one of the most valuable trading commodities around. Partnering up with Mother Earth, life can be much better.
 When possible, build away from slides, flood or wooded areas with none of the tools we have this day they built ROCK CHAMBERS and SURVIVED!
 And, we are here today - because they DID!
 They PREPARED TO SURVIVE! And, showed us the way.
 A little common sense along with research shows that many of the Rock Chambers have (even today in America) though new growth Trees and shrubs grow or over them... ..OR in Europe... very little if no growth around them at all... But MANY of these ROCK CHAMBERS are still here TODAY!
 Redundantly repeated!
 Researching time and again... The Rock CHAMBERS All to have **EXTREMELY ** THICK CEILINGS.
 ALL EXTREMELY ** THICK WALLS sloping away from chambers.. to allow for run off**
 Not necessarily to keep ANIMALS OR HUMANS OUT!!!
 BUT to KEEP OUT Terrible... SEARING HEAT... MASSIVE Constant violent HIGH WINDS... TORRENTIAL RAINS.... running DOWN AND AWAY!
 NOW!
 What are you willing to DO to PREPARE to SURVIVE?
 Do YOUR RESEARCH! What are you willing to learn in order to supply Protection for you, yours and your supplies from HORRENDOUS ... CLIMATIC .... Weather CONDITIONS... With one or more safe places for you and yours and necessary supplies......Where can you make this happen today?
 An above the ground SHELTER at or around HOME isn't a bad idea... If you happen to be wealthy enough to afford it. HAVE no other choices... and or have the materials laying around to make it happen. And... don't kid yourself... some can find this material... and one trip after another.. will make this happen... The least of the least will surprise you!
 Back to the Rock Chambers: On TOPIC - TOOLS a MUST!
 Most of us are much luckier than our Ancient (long ago) Great-Grandparents In as much as we have access to tools unlike anything they ever had.
 1. First TOOL is a MACHETE... used to make other tools, carving, cutting,
 chopping, if right type sawing, making that ALL important LEVER and many other purposes...
 Each member of a group... is different in size... and Machetes... come in different sizes...
 don't over or under buy... if it is comfortable in hand... it is right...
 if you can afford the one with a saw blade on the back side... think?
 2. NEXT A Shovels yes! All sizes... Preferable collapsible - fiberglass handle you choose... again according to size...
 3. ROPE strong small... each person at least 100 feet... ... for hanging  - lifting - supplies.. Towing - needs many purposes!
 4. Weather-proof Tarps... many fold up small... extremely light... uses weather proofing ... blankets... insulation.. protection... many uses..If you have to be MOBIL... THESE 4 ABOVE needed Accessories... can help you build Protection... Chambers time and again... And... be used for life saving needs time and again!... NOTICE: FIRST 4 SURVIVAL NEEDED TOOLS NAMED! And... They did not cost you an ARM AND A LEG!
 If you happen to pick up a SURVIVALIST BOOK OR VIDEO And... you are told to hit the BUNKERS!!!!... A BUNKERS MENTALITY ISN'T GOING TO DO IT FOLKS!!!
 Is someone REALLY thinking about YOU and YOUR entire family?
 Or, are they not just interest in selling their BOOK OR VIDEO???
 And, these first 4 ITEMS RECOMMEND ARE NOT ON THE LIST IMMEDIATELY... Do you know what to do with that book?
 Next.. It just may be that you already know a place or that you may have to take a spin around the country side more than once or twice... Think about those possible locations you finally choose.
 How many 100,000's of thousands of DEATHS must one see before they understand mountainous areas, caves, valleys, flood prone plains area or along the RIVERS, small creek, dams - LAKES - and COASTAL AREAS ANYWHERE is immensely DANGEROUS!
 Common sense logic says... Deadly MASSIVE SURGES of water and landslides are caused by constant torrential rains. And, storm tossed CATASTROPHIC WAVES will come crashing way further into coastal areas than humanity has ever seen before!
 So the further you can remove you and yours from coastal or given flooding areas the better!
 Me  I , if possible, choose at least 150 miles inland... And, for safety sake... at least 3,500 feet above sea level... NOTE: I haven't touched on the subject matter of those of having access to or friends with these types of resources! See below.
