Your secret hidden bunker

[blackwolfe]

Many of us have heard MB talk about his secret hidden bunker and the new one his is going to build.  If you had the means and opportuinty where would you call home?

I've always thought I'd love a place in the country or "The Big North Woods".   Either in Northern Michigan or MI upper pinnsula.  I also like the wide open spaces in the midwest to the west from the southern border to the northern border.  Regardless of where, it would be nice to be on the water surrounded by more wildlife than people.  Of course there would have to be a personal range and enough land for a garden, fruit and nut trees, and some livestock.  A place where you can shoot off the back porch, pee off the front, and make love on the dock.  Sounds like heaven to me.

The UP in Michigan, upstate NY, the Poconos, the Rockies, Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, the Ozarks in Arkansas, the Carolinas, or maybe a little tropical island in the South Pacific. So many choices.

Next year we plan on taking a motorcoach around the country to make that very decision, and we have already selected a shelter manufacturer.

Of course all the following of your listed requirements are a must:  Regardless of where, it would be nice to be on the water surrounded by more wildlife than people.  Of course there would have to be a personal range and enough land for a garden and a few fruit trees.  A place where you can shoot of the back porch, pee off the front, and make love on the dock.  Sounds like heaven to me.

We have feelers out for a private lake, minimum of 20 acres, and at least 40 acres of land. We need 2 houses. One for my family and one for my Brother-in-Law (should just read Brother) and esteemed business partner. You may have met Johnny Bravo on the forum.

I do need to add that we would build with solar, wind and battery storage or we would add it to any existing structure that we purchase. We have discussed the fact that the money put into living off the energy grid would never be recouped, at todays prices, not even if we are able to sell excess power back to the energy company. We believe that the expense is justified by the independence and the security that are provided. The shelter will be installed discretely and the entrance will be from within our home.

I've thought about becoming the next El Presidente for life of Cuba , but with the moves toward sovereinghty (ugh) that Texas, Montana, and Nebraska has been taking I'm thinking one of those three are looking pretty attractive.

I've thought about getting some land out towards the North Dakota Badlands.

The key here is sustainability.As Clint said "A man has to know his limitations". Some of us can do the pioneer farmer self sufficiency thing. Some can't. Know which category you fall into before you buy. Also calculate how close to a highway, you are.Will you be able to get there, and how about the zillion folks who think your place looks pretty good as well?. Its a hard call. Me, I'm in So. Fl. with an ex, but still a good friend with a '36 foot sail boat, and its stocked and ready, and we'll sail where we need to. Don't think a place in the country will save you if you can't get there first, defend it, and make it work. Just my .02.

That's what I had in mind with the badlands.

I would pick the hills overlooking the Connecticut River in western NH. Like the link Kid put up.
Good size Garden, Veggies, herbs, Apple trees Walnut trees and Maple trees  GOT TO have a shop and some sort of renewable energy source, wind, Solar or water turbine, even consider a methane generator.

I always wanted property in the Texas Hill Country west of Austin.  Prefer 100+ acres with flowing water.  House made of ICF block with geothermal and water wells...solar panels, and 1 wind turbine.  I want  to avoid getting power from a company through wires.  And in case of emergency a SCUPP from radius engineering.

My shelter would be a radius engineering shelter with the vault door in the basement, and another ground level exit at teh other end.
