The rising political tension, the increasing crime rates, and the constant threat of natural disasters highlight the need for survival shelters. However, making one need not be complicated and costly. An article posted on the Survivopedia website shared a few tips for making your own shelter and keeping it under the radar.

Consumers remain wary of divulging the specifics of their shelters despite the sky-rocketing sales in survival shelters and bunkers, according to Ron Hubbard, president of California-based Atlas Survival Shelters. Hubbard noted that the prospect of being discovered by neighbors scare the customers, as it might lead to unauthorized access when times hit hard.
Sponsored solution from the Health Ranger Store: Lab-verified Nascent Iodine solution is a dietary supplement that provides your body with supplemental iodine to help protect your thyroid during radiation exposure. Nuclear accidents such as Fukushima (or nuclear war) can expose your body to radioactive iodine-131, a dangerous radioisotope. Pre-loading your system with stable iodine occupies the iodine receptor sites on your organs, causing your body to naturally expel radioactive iodine you may have been exposed to through air, food, water or milk products. This defensive strategy is recommended by nearly all health authorities, worldwide, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Discover more at this link.
“[The neighbors] would all be freaking out and banging on your door. It is kind of like when a ship sinks — everyone swims to the floating life raft,” Hubbard said.
The current political tension between the Trump administration and the North Korean government resulted in an uptick in the sales of survival shelters and bunkers across the country. Clyde Scott of Rising S Company in Texas confirmed that the sales have since doubled weeks before and after U.S. President Donald Trump was sworn into office. Scott also divulged that sales of survival shelters showed a significant increase outside the U.S.
“There was an uptick two weeks before Trump’s election, and an uptick after the election. It lasted about a month. During the Obama administration our sales went up 250 percent. In the Trump administration in the past month our sales probably went up 500 percent. A husband, wife and two kids — that’s really the typical client,” Scott told NBC News online.
Local patrons also cited various reasons for acquiring survival shelters, including catastrophic natural disasters and social unrest. “Why not be prepared? It could be anything. It could be a tornado. It could be social unrest. Everything going on politically has really motivated me to want to purchase the bunker,” customer Brooke Greenhaw said.
California-based Vivos, which markets underground bunker complexes, confirmed that consumer paranoia plays a central role in the uptick of bunker sales. The company itself was known to host a website that features blaring images of viral pandemics, prophetic asteroid strikes, nuclear mushroom clouds and other natural calamities in order to boost sales.
“People are sensing that a global life-changing event is just ahead. Millions of people believe that we are living in the ‘end times.’ The governments of the world know something and have been bunkering up for decades. Why is nobody telling you to prepare?,” the company stated in a Miami Herald article.
