I never know how much stock to put into these types of articles, but nonetheless it seems worth linking to:

Once we had a story about some personal railway, no another Russian hero Leonid Murlyanchik has been building his metro alone since 1984. All materials are bought for his retired fee. Construction is not over yet.

By the way Leonid has all necessary documents and permits for this metro.

A guy building his own personal subway system.  Of course, the methods and techniques are easily applicable to building your own  network of tunnels and bunkers. I post this mostly just to show that, if this article can be believed, one guy with some determination can dig himself a hellacious redoubt if he tries.

And, yes, Im aware of the fellas that have dug under their houses, for better or worse, including the recent cases of folks getting their houses condemned by local engineering officials.
