Doomsday Bunkers---New Show

[cass1776]

I love the motion detector gun setup! So some poor slob walks on your property by accident and gets pounded by gun fire..Great idea, you won't need the bunker any more since you will be sitting in jail.

I was thinking this same thing while watching last night.

 

[RATTLESNAKE]

What gets me is the 4 ft ventilation pipe sticking straight up, like someone isn't going to figure that out. Yea, that security camera/speaker wasn't to obvious, white on trees doesn't stick out, shoot the thing off. The problem with underground is air, find the vent, seal it and they'll have to come out. No thanks, 450,000 bucks will buy me a nice 2500 sq ft. place in a free state and I'll take my chances with full auto, well stocked above ground, fire retardant and Yankee ingenuity.

this...

That was the worst surveillance/camera installation I've ever seen... I don't believe for a second that someone random stumbled across that guys bunker in FL, started digging, and just so happened to find the generator. That was an inside job for sure, either someone on the build team or a contractor that assisted with the build. Otherwise the show was OK... The guy with the $400k bunker was a full tard making the location of it public, I'm guessing he's gonna try to write it off as a business expense.

Starting with the Egyptians building the pyramids, the smart money has always disposed of the workers in some way exactly to avoid this sort of thing. No different than having a safe installed, a panic room built, etc. You are relying on the hope that whatever day laborers might happen to be working your job are just guys who want to work, and not stupid or malign enough to come back to your place one day when they know you probably won't be there.

Fortunately, most people are generally honest. The ones who aren't just draw a lot of attention to themselves, suck the life out of everyone around them, and/or get their own TV shows, so it seems like they are everywhere.

can't watch the show damn cable is on the fritz for cripes sake..

 

[Almostelmo]

I watched this for the first time last night. Not impressed. Flame thrower railings? Swinging zombie spikes? Periscopes? Give me a break...

 

[Big_Red]

I did't mind the flame thrower railing as much as I did the spikes. That's just stupid and an accident waiting to happen.

 

[Kursac]

I'm not impressed, looks like another train wreck. Looks like a great way to waist money.

I have to say the periscope was way cool!!

 

[Twigg]

Every one I saw had only one way in /out.
NFW I'd get into one of those, its nothing more than a well stocked coffin.

 

[BWhite]

One way out ! Not good at all . If ' "they" cant get in "they " may make it impossible to get out .

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch this show yet. Have I made a good decision or is there actually something beneficial to this one?

Good decision. The whole thing is like a bad comedy. The worst part of these "reality" shows is that they make everyone else who is taking reasonable precautions look like a flaming idiot.

 

[Bill Katt]

Thanks

Navy guy, right?

Hasn't everyone seen the ending of "The Dirty Dozen"?

It seems like they have settled into a predictable routine on this show. One sensible customer, one kinda nutty customer, and one crazy R&D project. Mix in a little shop tension, and call it a show. It's hard to see it lasting more than a season.

I liked the trucker in this week's show. His observation about having been a prepper his whole life without even knowing it was great. I think that describes a lot of people, and helps remove some of the nut factor. That, and the fact that he was prepping for fairly run of the mill disasters, and not a polar shift or alien invasion.

The retired lady cop wasn't really nutty either, but she can probably see it from where she is. I had to wonder how a retired cop, who appeared to be supporting an extended family, could afford to drop $250K on a bunker. My rule of thumb is that if someone is talking about prepping while sitting in view of a ceramic cat, then they may be a little crazy.

The tsunami ball was cool. I think he is overstating the number of lives it will save. First, you have to buy one, then you have to have enough warning to get inside before the wave hits.

Go for a ride in a giant hampster ball out on the ocean ?

I'll stick with high ground. Seein' as how I'm at 1347 ft above sea level I believe I'm OK.

Good luck with the giant hampster ball.

There was an old ZZ Top song about something like this. It was about a guy that built a ball-shaped steel cage, someone would climb inside, and they would drop it out of a pickup going 60 on the highway. The song was 'Master of Sparks', and I believe it was on the Tres Hombres album.

I did say it was cool, but there's no way in hell I would get inside it. They would probably open it to find me on the floor in liquid form.
