The motto "always be prepared" is wise advice, but one man is taking the mantra to the max. He's got former military bunkers spanning a space that is three-quarters the size of Manhattan, and is selling them to survivalists.
Survivalists and so-called "preppers" are often the brunt of jokes, with insults ranging from "paranoid" to "weird" and everything in between. But Robert Vicino couldn't disagree more. He runs a company which is currently focused on transforming military bunkers into doomsday shelters.
The shelters are in Middle of Nowhere, USA, otherwise known as Edgemont, South Dakota. It's barely on the map, but it's about to host the "largest survival community on the planet." That's big news for a town with a population of just 774 people.
Describing the bunker community as "large" is perhaps an understatement. "...This base is 18 square miles (47 square kilometers), about three quarters the size of Manhattan," Vicino told RT's Ruptly agency. He says the community has 575 bunkers and will be able to hold between 6,000 and 10,000 residents.

Seems we live in “interesting times”.....
These peppers forgot “ Disease X” which no one knows anything about.
That’s it. Thank you.
Whats the one place that your enemy wouldnt move? A known target like these bunkers.
Your enemy knows you know that so you might just hide something important there.
Which, of course, means they have to hit it just to make sure you didnt.
No security?
Then put a bag over your head and walk through a busy intersection. God will save you.
I don’t think the Russians are going to worry about 10,000 prepers in the middle of no-where SD.
As far as the secrecy of your shelter it really kind of matters on the type of disaster that happens.
If you are in your shelter in the middle of no-where when a EMP hits it really doesn’t matter too much if your shelter is well known because any invader is going to take a long time getting there without modern transportation. They will also probably be coming in small numbers
But I agree with you that if you are prepping in your home keep it to your self as much as possible. Your plans should be kept to yourself and your family.
What are you putting your trust in? I certainly would not do what you suggested.
