i actually went ahead and saw the missile silo episode, very impressive, ok hes covered LOL
only disadvantage is if the muscle that is supposed to protect them actually honors the doomsday agreement and lets in a few ex-millionaires who have, realistically, nothing now, because if shit is so bad that they must go in to a gargantuan bunker, then I bet the US$ is not worth much and gold is less worth than an egg...
why would they not let in their own relatives and friends and help themselves to the goodies? millionaires are spoiled and needy and not good fighters and farmers...strategically speaking it would be in the muscles best interest to screw them over and be left with more supplies...
but the bunker is kick ass, I would like to be on the inside if shit got out of hand no question about it...

I think I'd move.

its standard procedure during civil wars...areas are "cleared out" not necessarily for the sake of ethnic cleansing or rape camps or whatever but simply because of military advantage,strategy whatever...houses are usually booby trapped and it is "standard procedure" to throw in a hand grenade...or torch it...if they know you are inside they will not just leave you alone...its not how violence works...
everything will get visited...no question about it...no matter how remote you think you are there is always somebody who took a walk there and saw it...
thugs organize in to groups and have "Excuses" why region x should be cleared from enemy y...its what happens...it would happen in the USA too...think rodney king or katrina...people turn savage real quick...what kept it from happening in the USA was the ability of your army to control...take away the army, and/or arm a certain minority sufficiently and you become nigeria in a few days time...homo sapiens behave the same way all over the world...
you have too much faith in your society...we had 50 years of peace and virtually no crime and it changed in a few weeks time...life long friends ended up fighting against each other and Im not talking about hillbilly rubes I am talking about educated people who had real jobs as doctors and lawyers and what not...
there is no place on the planet to move from this...if a comet hits your country and shit gets ugly you should expect a mad max scenario within a few weeks...
you can either rambo it out or be clever about it and not stick out...keep a low profile and always have a cig or two to trade and solve your drinking water problem by having some sort of filtration system do not bottle shit up you will run out quick you need a long term solution...
