Guess the chance of nuclear war is worse now than the 1950s when fallout shelters were all the rage.
Guess Obama is spurring one industry as least.

Nice sized screen. Question: What films should be available to watch? 1. 'The Road' In "The Road," an unnamed disaster destroys society and wipes out most of life on Earth. The few survivors live in a world where their only sources of nutrition are the food made before the disaster and each other. 2. Mad Max. 3. 12 Monkeys 4. ...

Well at least there’s plenty of natural light.
But seriously folks, the best place to be is on the water, with washed decks. Barring that, in MIDDLE floors of buildings.
Radioactivity is HEAVY. It sits on roofs and sinks into the ground.
You’re better off on the 3rd floor of a tenement than 6’ under!

I would rather fight defending my preparations to survive, which is already something that I planned for when preparing, than to merely die, because I didn’t prepare.
Even pioneer families had to fight to defend their goods and shelter from roaming looter packs.

when the poop hits the fan and the grid goes down, well.. the room will be as dark as the screen.

put one of these in your back yard for all to see.. haul empty boxes in like your stocking it up.
Then when the SHTF bug out to the real hide out :)
spendy decoy yes, but it’ll probably buy you the time you need to escape.

Time was, such survival shelters were only for the wealthy, according to Hubbard. His shelters start at $35,900, and top out at $85,900. Not in this economy. You still have to have the land. Getting a permit would get the gossip going and trucking a big yellow thing down main street would cause a lot of nosy nellies to take notice. The only way to do it is to do it yourself in the back forty of your property with no close neighbors. The first teen year old who finds out about it will have his friends over the next day plugging up the air vents.

More than just an "insurance policy", one of these could easily serve as additional cold storage space, rec room, man cave, study room, and/or other daily usable space.

No way am I living in anything that’s 20 feet underground. I don’t even want to be 6 feet under so I’m being cremated.

“Getting a permit “
Yes, you would need to prepare an environmental impacted statement, get triplicate permissions from Homeland Security, and the OK by Obamacare navigators since radiation affects health.
