A note on doomsday bunkers.

Someone said something the other day that I feel deserves a comment. They basically stated that if they had a doomsday bunker they would be safe from anything and no one could get to them. This is basically a false statement.

1. No matter how well you have your bunker stocked you have to come out sometime.

2. No matter how well you think your bunker is defended or how deep you are buried, there is always a way in if you try hard enough.

Here's another hard truth. What are you going to do if they block your exit? What are you going to do if they wedge your door closed and you can't get out? What are you going to do if they break your generator? What are you going to do if they block or stop up your ventilation system? Are you still going to be able to stay underground if you can't breathe?

I talked the other day about having an emergency evacuation plan. Here again is another area where you need to have a backup plan.  First things first. If you have a doomsday bunker that is underground or above ground, you need to have an escape exit. If someone finds your bunker and manages to sabotage it you are going to need another way out. If for no other reason than to defend your bunker once it has been found. But if the impossible happens and they do manage to find a way in, block your door, or stop up your ventilation shaft then you have a way to escape. That's the bottom line. To be able to stay alive.
