What do you think of Doomsday Preppers? I’m not taking about the show, but real people who do it.
Do you know anyone who does it?

I understand the sentiment behind it but just live life and enjoy every minute that you can. Worrying about some doomsday event is pointless in my opinion.
If a severe storm is coming your way, okay try to plan ahead for that, but come on, underground bunker with 10 years of food and supplies, these people don't realize those things DO expire and have to be replaced regularly.
Buying an underground bunker and having it stocked with supplies in 2005, guess what? If those supplies expire after 10 years well we're way past that, time to restock for another 10 years! Pointless.

@DareToSayIT I think they would stay under for sure. If they were really smart about it, the bunker would be below the garage floor, not outside where most of them put them. The other thing is, look at how tight and small those bunkers are. You're telling me 3 or 4 people are gonna stay in there 95% of the time?? I don't think so. It's so unrealistic. No beds, where does everyone sleep? They didn't even think of that.
The only thing these preppers think about is, oh boy, I got myself 10 years of food and batteries and supplies!! 40 years later all that stuff has already expired and they don't even know it. I'd love to see them do a test run of getting into their bunkers and then realizing, "well shoot, we really don't have the space in this thing, but at least I got supplies" and then looking over and seeing all the expiration dates lmao.
And.... imagine you are a family, husband, wife with 3 kids aged, 2, 4 and 8 and an infant. Good luck is all I have to say. I mean really, like how do you get formula for the baby? Diapers? Wet wipes? Even if you did stock up on those things, eventually they'll run out. And then what do they do? These preppers think they're ahead of the game, but they didn't think of any of this stuff.

@twiigss Also let’s not forget the sewage and garbage disposal. If the bunker doesn’t have toilets that can flush into the main sewage(which is most probably blocked or flooded due to the catastrophe, I can see the pressure of fluid flooding the bunker. The designs of these things are not very well thought through unless it’s some guy like the dad from “blast from the past”, but hard to imagine any of the peepers to be that smart.
