Those photos are from the best Twilight Zone episode ever filmed, IMHO.
having served on board a nuke sub, I’d prefer any rational alternative..

I agree.
If the apocalypse is a financial apocalypse a bunker will be almost useless. Think about it, all your savings, worthless, the government paying it’s employees in worthless paper, a loaf of bread > $1000.00. What will you do? The power would be off, same with the food supplies. All civilized government breaks down. That’s the doomsday that this regime’s policies are bringing about.

I agree! We have a bunch of them on DVD and they’re always awesome! This one was my favorite too. I can relate to him not wanting to be around people and just wanting to be left alone to read some books. The end was a neat twist though.
What if it is a supermegaCarrington event unlike anything in recorded history?

Trying to survive a cataclysm from above, literally fire coming down.
Solar activity / instability at present is the highest it has been since the end of the last ice age,* says geologist Robert Schoch, Ph.D., in this startling video from thunderbolts.info
A major solar outburst could end an ice age, incinerate the surface of the Earth (leaving only large stone structures remaining). create deluges of Biblical proportions as plasma would evaporate water and ice which would later be re-precipitate, and the cataclysm would force survivors to seek shelter in thick stone buildings, caves, and underground, says Schoch.
From the Christian’s New Testament Bible:
2 Peter 3:10
“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.”
11 “Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.”
If your bunker (or cave) was deep enough underground you might be able to survive. Just how deep you’d have to be is something I’d like to know.
I didn't have books to read nor any other diversion. I was just there, alone, and no less content than I am now. Weird I know. |
You don't have to make it impossible to break into your shelter, just harder than getting access to someone else's resources. It's the same as the door locks on my home. I have picked my door locks (kids - oops), but I still lock my doors when I'm gone. Most criminals are lazy and would rather walk through an unlocked door than learn a real skill like picking locks. A series of assaults by other survivors? Not likely. Most zombies would rather go after urban apartment dwellers than try metal detectors to search for a bunker, or use explosives to break through reinforced concrete. Note: I don't have a bunker, but I think their value is being dismissed based on an inappropriate comparison.
As for surviving after SHTF, I feel sorry for those who would give up like this author implies. I intend to survive with my family, and I expect many friends in my area to survive too. Life is a beautiful gift from God, and I have no interest in throwing it away until He chooses to take it back.
Ditto
Thanks for your service. Imho, if an apocolyps happens, so be it. My job sucks that bad..
And I know I misspelled it. Im sick as a dog and don’t care..
I don’t want to be saved from the apocalypse If everyone else buys the farm, I might as well too
2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
Proof that Scripture supports Global Warming.....
My family and selected friends are doing everything possible to prepare, including food 3+ years, water supply, septic (if you lose electric, toilets won’t work. The author is correct in that people are your greatest concern. That is why you need a bug out house if you can (ours is 1.5 hours away from the city and we stored our food in multiple locations.)However, the dictator in chief could come and get it if they wanted to, so there is no total protection.
That’s the kind of global warming that you can believe in!
The author has an awful lot of difficulty with plurals for such a purportedly learned individual.
I don’t have a “bunker” myself, but wouldn’t begrudge someone who did. What with all these potential bunker failure scenarios listed in such great detail, one might get the impression that the learned author believes such scenarios won’t befall those without one.
What’s the old saying, “you makes your bets and you takes your chances.”
True. The only benefit of prepping is if you’re in a situation like Greece’s collapse and already self-sufficient with food, water, etc. The lack of money doesn’t matter because you don’t need it.
All this reminds me of a great movie, “Blast From the Past’ (1997) with Sissy Spacek, Christopher Walken
Brendan Fraser, and Alicia Silverstone.
It’s a LOL comedy about a naive man, Brendan Fraser, who has been brought up with a 60’s lifestyle (in an underground shelter with only his parents) for 35 years and suddenly finds himself in the virtually alien civilisation of the late 90’s.
Anybody see it?
