Is it a time to think about underground shelters?

Post by bunkerwise »

Hello everyone,

Just ten years ago, this question would have seemed unbelievable. Who would have thought about the possibility of a full scale war with Russia, a global pandemic like COVID 19, threats of nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence, or missiles capable of acting on their own intuition? This isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s happening before our very eyes today, right now.

Once, someone asked Einstein what the third world war would look like. He replied that he had no idea, but the war after the third one would be fought with sticks and stones. If that’s the case, does it make sense to prepare for such a scenario? What do you think?

I know people who believe that even if they survived such an event by staying in a shelter, they wouldn’t be able to bear the sight of what’s left when they come out: no homes, no neighbors, no cities, no favorite pub, and no other family members. For me, however, it seems worth having somewhere safe to hide if only for the psychological comfort of knowing there’s an option, or for the sake of our children or grandchildren.

I used to think it would cost a fortune, but in reality, building a concrete shelter is much cheaper than building a steel one. And considering how damp the soil in the UK is, what’s the point of constructing a steel shelter in such conditions?

Hello and welcome.

I've approved your post but I've removed the last section which was just an advert for your own business. We don't allow that as a rule, without prior agreement by the moderators but you can add a sig into your profile.

First and foremost this is a community. We welcome you if you want to be part of that community but not if you are just here to push a business from the off. :) If you are still interested, you will be able to send a PM to any of the mods after you have made 10 posts that will be checked and then either approved or disallowed.
