With the apocalypse almost upon us, now might be a good time to take a look at the kind of bunker you should probably have invested in. This shelter (pictured above) was designed and built by L.A.-based company, Atlas Survival Shelters. Apart from their Mayan apocalypse facilities, they also provide decked out living quarters in the event of an “errant asteroid, nuclear holocaust, or walking dead”.

As you’ll see from the gallery below, the shelter is 6m beneath the earth and comes equipped with a separate escape hatch. The tunnel that leads inside, drops at a 30 degree angle, in what the company says is “just enough to block gamma radiation”. Inside the decontamination room there’s even a shower to clean any hazardous material off your hazmat suit.

Insider the shelter is a nice prefab living quarter, with a removable floorboard revealing underground storage for food and water stores. The living room comes with a couch and a television. Some versions of the shelters also come with a mini-kitchen. There’s also a dining room table and a table that’s upgradable to a UHF broadband radio and surveillance command center. And if power runs short, a crank provide enough to keep the party going!

The escape hatch is receded into the ground and can be perfectly camouflaged with pieces of sod or grass. It also easily pops up, so that you can defend your shelter from wandering bands of post-apocalyptic brigands.
