    I wonder how its air circulation system is. Can't you get radon poisoning or something from spending too much time in one of those?

    My wife and I saw this a few years ago when browsing the web. Yeah we'd love to do this just for the funky factor. Plus you have the whole survivalist thing too. But it would suck balls for Zombie defense.

    Dude....not the Benny Hill. You just can't let that stuff go.

    Ditch the shag for berber or even better, ceramic tile. Its, um how do I say this, easier to clean.

    Sadly we dont have shit for underground silos here. fucking water table. Kennedy did have an above ground bunker near the compound, but its fallen to shit. Regardless, I will do my best to Platos back from the dead! It's the 'Merican dream!!!

    They did. However the best materials in the world can't stop nature from breaking said materials down if you don't put maintenance into it.

    Damn straight it would.....

    I'm just too good for any defense.....

    ;)

    You'd need a concrete fence around the whole property. At least 12 feet high and 3 feet wide. Also need a super heavy duty solid metal gate. Oh and no stupid people who would open the gate at the wrong time.

    I'd buy a silo if I could. Even if it's not the regular house it could be a fallback (especially since I live in South Florida).

    If it comes with enough land around it you could go hunting too.

    Certainly cheaper then building a shelter.

    Oh and the article is slightly wrong. No amount of springs is going to save you from a direct hit from a nuke.

    It saves you from near misses.

    :D

    When I think post-apocalyptic or survivalist, I never think zombie.

    It's always alien invasion or post nuke.

    Your own private Fallout Vault Dwelling!!

    I would buy one of these in an INSTANT if I had the cash and turn it into my personal stronghold. I would also be inclined to build a real stone castle around the house just for shits and grins.

    Fill it with an all (hot) female staff in silvery Valkyrie outfits and you have...Valhalla on Earth!!
