Supply Cache & Bolthole Idea....

[LBraden]

Well Mike, I got some official and non-official boltholes here -- http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y15...%20M20/Morrow/

Some of the official ones I feel are too large, then you have the round ones, but that happens, in fact, I could even go and speed up some "economy bunkers" small and easy to build.

Lee,

The bolt holes that you show are what I had in mind. Vehicle(s), cryo, supplies, etc. Designed to be abandoned (Per TM1-1)

I always wondered about that abandon in place. The cache, ok. It is just a storage facility. But I would think that having a "home" in Post Apocolyptic America would be a great psycological boost to the team.

If you read the description in American Outback, there is no shortage of power for the bolt hole. The nuclear waste/heat exchanger/electric generator is scheduled to provide power for a LONG time. That means lights, air, cooking, etc. I do not know about you, but being able to get a hot shower and a hot meal after a long day saving the world has a definate appeal.

My $0.02

Aye, the round ones I copied off Owen E Oulton, there is also a G Gore one and then an Official one (I think it was in the first supplement, 3rd ed.) and then 2 very small and basic ones that I did myself BEFORE I had acquired a copy of anything other than the rule book.

I have however, been looking at larger bunkers, similar to NORAD and that for "Regional Base of Operations and Control", as well as "National Control" (Prime for example), but they will take time, and I do have a lot of other things to do first, as well as trying to get a job, and some more vehicles before I attempt that sort of size of base.
