    This ain't your average survival shelter

    (CBS News) MONTEBELLO, Calif. - There's nothing new about predictions that the end of the world is upon us. But there's plenty new about how some people are preparing for it.

    Ron Hubbard specializes in survival shelters that offer safety and style.
    What began as a pipe dream for Ron Hubbard has become big business...underground

    "We call this the backyard bunker," Hubbard said as he showed us one of his survival shelters.

    These days, the fear market is booming.

    "I can't build them fast enough right now," he said. "It's better to have a shelter 10 years early than five minutes late."

    But unlike those Cold War-era concrete bunkers with just the basics, these survival shelters come fully loaded.

    "It's got everything a house does," Hubbard said. "It's just 20-feet underground. Luxury bedrooms, big screen TVs , game room, underground pool. You can have anything you want." He's even seen people put Jacuzzis in them.

    Seen a special on TV about the shelters, nothing like surviving and being comfortable.

    mobility will be the key to survial ,sitting still to long and you will become a target for those that are desperate.

    yeah, and they'd better be super discrete about installation and use, and proof in someway vs poison gas, cause otherwise, they will be just expensive traps that the oweners die in.

    mine aint average, either. It's just a concealed spiderhole, so that I can get out of sight while I extend it horizontally, if shtf. Such do need careful location, however, to avoid having your hole fill up with rainwater or seepage. :) Also, such a hideout should be located inside of a thicket, so that nobody sees you enter or leave it, altho such moves should be made only at night, with an active IR scane of your area from inside of the hole, before entering or exiting).

    While this sort of hole is not much help, it's relatively easy to arrange, one night of digging and lidmaking suffices. So you can have several of them. If one is found prior to shtf, nobody will think much of it. Your two buried drums of food and supplies should be within half a mile, but not close, and not together.

    Billionaire Bunkers: Exclusive Look Inside the World's Largest Planned Doomsday Escape

    For the very first time, a modern day Noah’s Ark has opened its doors for an exclusive inside look offering up plans for the ultimate Billionaire bunker and doomsday escape.

    Vivos founder and CEO Robert Vicino announced Vivos Europa One which will be an invitation only, five star, underground survival complex, similar to an underground cruise ship for the elite. Each family will be provided a private 2,500 square foot of floor area, capable of two story improvements for a total of 5,000 square feet of private living quarters. With fit and finish comparable to a mega-yacht, each member family will hire their own architect and contractor to build out their living quarters to the custom standard they desire.
