    The underground foxhole guy was neighbor growing up. The idea that no one knows is ridiculous. Our entire city knew this was there lol. They had to get permits from the City of Covington, bring excavation crews and dump trucks for weeks, someone to install the door, etc. You can’t really do that with your garage door closed lol. If going on television wasn’t enough, the guy ran for public office showcasing his foxhole and lost by a landslide.

    For the first family: instead of potentially sacrificing a member to guard duty, perhaps you could install a series of PVC pipes and mirrors as a sort of periscope? Assuming the fear is an EMP, and a camera would be taken offline. A single, high mounted periscope could save a member of your group.

      I'd volunteer to stand guard. I think Pink was thinking the same when she jumped at the chance to be the one to stand guard. Way better than being in an underground prison cell pooping into a bag. Many people seem to think the world will turn into Mad Max. Reality is people aren't going to attack any defended structure on the off chance they have something of value. There's been 100's of examples how humans react in a collapse. Happening today in Sri Lanka, Lebanon and many other countries. Even in collapsed countries with well armed people you don't see a lot of roving bands shooting their way into homes to steal stuff. Yeah, a lot of stealing, but more opportunistic.

    Barry made a crucial design mistake. He should have designed his bunker with a sliding hatch so he can park a vehicle over it for protection and security, and still escape it if he needs to. Instead, his top opening hatch means he has to keep the area in his garage clear and exposed, such an obvious and easy target.

The good news is that in almost every instance, people come together. Of course there are looters, but they are normally the exception. The pandemic opened many people's eyes. But even in that case, we all pretty much came together and utilities, food and medical care held up.

I eventually got into hiking then and bought items such as emergency blankets, solar flashlights, radios, etc. It was a fun process when researching these items for purchase. Eventually, I started buying prepping stuff like these guys. It gets very addicting and is a very fun hobby.
    As long as I dont spend ALL my money on these things (10% of my paycheck goes to prepping purchases), I dont see nothing wrong with prepping. Though I believe there is a high probability there WONT be a catastrophic event in my lifetime, it's reassuring to have these items.

    I realize people are concerned with 'EMP's' and obviously nuclear war, as they should be, somewhat. However, I wouldn't lose sleep over either. Keep in mind that there's not just one country that has _devices._ 'Mutually Assured Destruction' is a very big deterrent for anyone.
    A launch from another country would be detected by the US very quickly, and our own ICBM's would be on their way in short order. Obviously, those in power in ANY country would be safe in bunkers with provisions for months, if not years. In the US, perhaps indefinitely.
    I think it comes down to, is a certain tyrant ready to have much/most of his population and much of his infrastructure destroyed? Truthfully, as we get closer to having a big part of the world run on automation and Artificial Intelligence, I believe we get closer everyday to that scenario.
    We already have some extremely wealthy, narcissistic tyrants that really don't like 'We the People,' they believe the world is grossly overpopulated, and I believe they'd like nothing more than to see most of us gone.
