The wealthiest and most powerful nation on earth is housing some of the most resourceful, and some might say, over-prepared citizens. As the prospect of Armageddon looms for these folk, how do they intend to survive?
The ‘Future Fear’ and sense of doom that is gripping American at the moment has become a lifestyle for Richard Heinberg. He’s developing a self-sufficient bunker in the Mojave Desert so he can survive whatever the world throws at him. “I think it’s our duty, not just to somehow try to survive this but to change what we’re doing and to create a survivable planet for everyone”. Growing 350 types of fruit and vegetable, they would survive on their own produce. “We’re preparing ourselves to live simply”, says follower Julie Dervaes.
The org. site is apparently an old AT&T Microwave station/bunker. They were constructed to handle up to a 10psi over-pressure wave and still function.
They still have quite a few for sale…minimum construction is 5psi over-pressure survival…and they’re usually on a mountain…
FYI, I used to work for ‘em…
Thanks for the information. I was wondering about the original use of the site.
Apparently, the site has a detector that locks everything down in case of a nuclear blast. How does one get into the bunker shortly after a blast? Doesn’t this imply that you have to know about a nuclear attack in advance?
