Lessons from the Ultimate Safe Houses

Am always reminded of a quote I saw when I stumbled across a survivalist forum after looking for an emergency kit on Amazon - If you aren't armed, and know how to use the weapons, you're just building an ultimate safe house for the guy down the road who is.

Somehow fascinating how the recent disasters are moving Preppers more and more into the mainstream. But I never understood this dedication to valuing one's possessions more than the own life. As long as there is at least some form of overture the smartest solution seems to me still to just fly out to another country.

I love this and one day want to build my own fortified Doomstadt Castle but building it in LA seems like a bad idea.

If a massive natural disaster actually happened I feel like the first place all of the LA gang members (and there are millions) would loot are the rich areas on the coast. Once they see your perfectly standing, lit up house the natural elements would be the least of your worries.

So does one plan to have a fueled-and-ready helicopter waiting on that rooftop pad? Seems like the neighbors wouldn't like that very much.

If not, do you have a fueled-and-ready helicopter on standby somewhere else? Is that hangar fortified and protected?

Interesting use of resources that would have been better spent on one's health.
