Article – Why so many Americans are buying up personal bunkers

Tom Soulsby, 69, and his wife, Mary, were one of the first to buy a bunker at Vivos xPoint — the self-proclaimed “largest survival community on Earth” — near the South Dakota town of Edgemont. In 2017, he made a $25,000 down payment and signed a 99-year land lease (with fees of $1,000 per year) to occupy an elliptical-shaped, 2,200 square-foot underground concrete bunker once used as a military fortress during World War II to store weapons and ammunition.

Dude..who wouldn’t want to buy a bunker?

Someday I’ll have that nice little concrete cabin in the middle of nowhere. Just hoping it happens while Im still young enough to enjoy it.

Paratus approaches!!!

Man, it just seems like only a few weeks ago I was sending out Paratus gifts and cards. But…it’s seven weeks to Paratus…the holiday of, for, and by survivalists. This year is the fifth year of Paratus. If you’re new to this blog, I have a lovely little FAQ for you to tell you everything you need to know about the holiday that Hallmark still hasn’t made a card for.

Paratus FAQ

I’ve got this years cards on order, and a few gifts lined up. How does the gift giving part work? Heck man, thats the best part of the whole darn holiday! Read the FAQ! Paratus is September 18th this year. Get your shopping done early! Ask your favorite gun, freeze dried, ammo, or gear vendor if they have any Paratus holiday sales! Remember kids, any idiot can just make up a holiday…..and any idiot actually did! It’s the holiday that says “Yeah, I’m a paranoid survivalist…so what?”

As always, I’ll be giving you a couple more headsup as the date approaches but let’s get out there and share the joyous news of Paratus!
