Back in the early 80's a buddy of mine who seemed to be "connected" started telling stories out of school. Stories about Nukes being hijacked by terrorists. Stories about "A" bombs already sited in American cities, ready to be detonated by a phone call. I did what checking I could and became nervous... very nervous. I'd made it through two tours in "Nam" a year living with the Turks in Turkey and a lot of time in Central and South American jungles. I wasn't going to throw in my hat now. "Uh Oh," I thought... Time to prepare. So I did.
Having more dollars than sense I set about building a bomb shelter on my ranch in California. Four months and $125,000 dollars later I had my shelter. Solid steel walls, just a bit over 1000 sq. feet of floor space, buried 26 feet underground in a geographically protected area... I felt safe. Problem was... I didn't have a clue about stockpiling supplies. So I learned. It took time but eventually I had laid in a 3 year supply of food for 6, built a subterranean water storage and well system, brought in 2 Propane generators (4kw and 10kw), fuel storage and batteries. I had enough stuff to live underground with five friends for three years... I also had a huge hole in my bank account... But, I was ready and... nothing happened. Times changed and I sold the place, shelter and all.
