[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3979482, member: 27098"] Personally I think if you have 3 months of food and potable water for a larger disaster one is doing well towards preparedness. If you have a tornado shelter with that even better. What really cracks me up is those who invest in luxury shelters at 1.5 million and up. Great idea, but if the worst happens how will one get there? First you need an emp proof off road vehicle or the ability to hike long distances. EMP strike first, then actual bombs will be the MO. Roads will be blocked. First day or so people will try to shop, then loot. After that all bets are of off. As a hiker with lots of gear you will be a target. If it's during the winter you will have cold weather to contend with as well. All of this depends on if you are healthy or not. Finally, if you do get there what if your shelter won't let you in? What if guards have "gone feral" and invited friends and family and displaced you? Ideal for a shelter (and if you have much, much money is to have your own land with/or underground facilities (bomb or fallout shelter.) Again you will need to get to it, so you will need a vehicle that is emp immune and good health. Yeah, you can get loans, but then you still need to worry about a bad but working economy, or the bank gets you in the end if the worst doesn't happen. [/QUOTE]
