The rich and famous are building million dollar bunkers. Developers are creating bunker condos or luxury Bug Out Locations in underground (former) military sites. One such developer project: Vivos xPoint in South Dakota has only a small population of year round residents thus far, but it has already begun to suffer troubles, both physical and legal. The whole project looks like it will fail. What lessons might we all learn from xPoint about bunkerism and community? Mic, Jeff, and Brian share their thoughts and suggestions.

The moment of truth had arrived. Corniel's assault forces move in on the gate of Cliffhaven. A track loader with improvised armor plate is to pull open the gate. A small strike time is to rush in and neutralize the defenders. After that, two dozen conscripts are to move in to haul away the food, supplies and anything else of value. Corniel's team had not planned on there being a handful of defenders in the woods behind them. When the gate is breached and strike time rush in, Matt and his ad hoc crew must act.

Mic, Jeff, and Brian explore the feasibility of going "Lone Wolf" using the 2009 movie: The Road, as a jumping off point. McCarthy's very dour tale follows one man and his young son trying to travel through a bleak post-apocalyptic landscape. They encounter bad men and horrible situations. While the father is more of the stereotypical lone wolf -- always on guard, worried that everyone is a threat -- his son persists in wanting to treat people like human beings. The father isn't wrong, but neither is the son.
