I bought material for $700, and am going to spend an afternoon making a 'brick fort' in the basement. After all calms down, I repurpose the brick in a few years. Is this odd, or understandable?

In your bubble, are others taking these precautions? Is it spoken of, laughed about, etc? Just trying to get a pulse on where ppl are really at, vs where the media says we should be.

Honestly I don't know what others are thinking, I've been farming and canning all summer preparing. This is one of my fallout buildings. https://vid8.poal.co/user/G0thamgirl/o3PmMvU It's my tornado shelter, that goes straight into the hill. We are working on an air system for emergencies now, it has a bathroom, fold up beds, and a small kitchenette. The exhaust will be coming out of the vent you see on top.

Wow. I'm envious... I'm rural, but still smalltownish. Thanks for your insight.

If money is no object, I would go with these guys if in the continental US. https://ultimatebunker.com/bunkers/

I was able to purchase 3 brand new (one trip) 40' shipping containers before covid hit so was still a great price & pulled most of my ideas from that website concerning ventilation/sewage. The most expensive parts of the build was 4 ft slab & filling in of cinder bricks so the walls will not collapse in time. The cutting & welding was a cinch, as well & I am adept at new work construction so I can work on the utilities little by little.

Almost forgot, I have my own backhoe to dig out the area in the side of a hill, so that saved some money. The crane service was 4k to drop in 3 containers though.

There is less than 100 people in my rural town, mostly menindites.
