Yes, I'd read some article from the popular American journal where different wealthy guys were interviewed and yes, they were telling buying the shelters or property at New Zealand, I'd posted the link to this amusing article somewhere. Tough, I don't know is it a bad thing that people which have an opportunity and desire to think about a possible tomorrow are doing something about? I've read an article about our Russian survivalists and they differ from the West ones cause they at least are younger - it was not popular in USSR during the eighties cold war threats to think about trying to save themselves - you had to think how to help a society and even that we were taught how to behave after the nuclear explosions, I am certain that the picture of surviving in USSR would had been not too much different from the USA one because necessary people would have been allowed to shelters plus some amount of children maybe but the masses certainly would had gone to grandfathers without proper food supplies and so on. Nowadays survivalists in Russia are preparing to survive in forests eating grass and what is possible to find without the prepared shelters and technologies - of course it is a question where they will be taking food when a nuclear winter will start but nobody cares much about it I guess, and all this is a matter of fanfic and today pleasure to think that you are invincible in a forest. We have today the regular shelters and food storages but I doubt they suit for longer than one year and again certainly will be gradation of necessary people as military and medical stuff and unnecessary like road builders , carpenters or other extremely unchangeable fellows. Anyway, even if I am not hope to survive something big and extraordinary, I believe, it is would be helpful for our civilization to think about the possible negative ways of our developing future and even on our own kitchen to try to prepare the simple food, to think how it is possible to eat more cheap and healthy instead of spending thousands on restaurants and overseas vacations. It is could be easy as it is to teach what you know your son – what is edible and what is not, how to do this and that with your own arms and so on but of course it is other matter that our children don’t like absolutely all these extra training and prefer to play a real nuclear wars on the computer… ;)
