Prepping for the 1% PING! ;-)
Abandoned missile silo.
Isn’t it just possible Russia or China mistakenly still targets that site?
Can you still buy any of these silo’s unimproved? Seems like a couple million would buy you the whole thing instead of just an apartment.
I can remember driving from Wichita to Tulsa, you would see several of them in the distance from the road.
There did not appear to be any defensive measures other than fences tho I am sure there was.
Trapped underground in one of those things is close to the very last place I would want to be under any circumstances.
You know what they’re going to call those folks who plunk down millions to hide in a hole after they crawl out when the food and water is exhausted ... “poor”.
If someone drops the big one on US (God dropping an asteroid the size of Ohio or the Iranians dropping 9 gigatons) I’d rather go right away.I think I’ll pass on these fortified underground bunkers and the freeze dried food packets with a 10 year shelf life.
Uhh, air supply?
Below ground with enemies above is a bad idea. Just ask various Japanese or Germans in bunkers.
Seal off the vents, or pour gasoline into them and drop a match. Of course the second alternative does tend to reduce the plunder potential.
I wish we could afford one of those, but Dad & I built an expanded 40’x20’ version of this basic unit:

Also sounds like Mr Hall is going to be hard-pressed to get an ROI on that project, any time soon. I wish him well. When TSHTF, “getting there” is also going to be problematic if an owner lives far away. My Family’s “SU” (Safe Unit) is only 100ft away.
Idiots. Far better to buy an isolated place no one knows about or can easily access. If everyone in the county knows about the food there, don’t you think the mayor, police chief, national guard, etc aren’t going to “inspect” the place for code violations and confiscate their food as fines?
It’s one thing to fight off lone desperados, quite another to fight the local authorities.
Read for later but seems interesting.....
The silos may be empty, but have the Russians removed them from their target list? Probably not.
I think I would rather have a large tanker or cargo ship somewhere out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean than be trapped underground in a missile silo.
Now we know where HG Well’s Morlocks came from.
Saw this guy on Doomsday Preppers. He was looking for buyers a couple of months ago.
