Is there a link to the post? I can't find the comments. I'm curious what people have to say. BTW, to amend the warning, for those who care, there are also a significant number of references to a rather old profession. |

This is a very old thread I know, but ran across this article on CNN about companies selling doomsday bunkers to the wealthy.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/20/luxury...ers/index.html One guy has bought a couple of nuclear hardened old missle silos and has already converted one to condos, and is he's going to do the other one. Immmediately reminded me of the Silo series. I for one, find all this rather disconcerting. As a species, have we thrown in the towel? Last edited by drofgnal; 04-21-2017 at 03:28 PM. |

So you can quit being disconcerting. For fun, Google Doomsday preppers. |

xPoint in South Dakota is sort of the budget version, so if doomsday comes, those people will probably be workers in the restructuring. They won't tell them that on the sales contract though... |

Preppers have been around since at least the early 70's, so this isn't exactly new. It's really become a big industry. A lot of the backpacker's freeze dried meal companies are moving into the prepper market in a big way. I suspect that some people who have vacation homes might keep a stock of such food stuffs for potential power outages and the like. Of course, before we point the finger too much at preppers, I would note that safe rooms have because an item for city dwellers as well. |

Though most getaway homes stoves run on propane not electricity so canned foods would be just as good as the MRE's. |

We have a gas stove which helps. We also have a camp stove and a propane grill. |

I live in Atlanta within walking distance of several grocery stores. If I have to last more than 2 weeks before stocking up again, then the Zombie Apocalypse has arrived, in which case I have much bigger problems.
