We have bunkers for the rich here in Montana as well as in the state of Washington - most adjacent to their mansion. It's fairly common really. Back when I was working in the trades about 10 years ago, when we would build a small, temporary road through the woods/mountains to the location of the bunker/cabin unless it was part of a mansion. The amount of permitting required was staggering. Heavy/bulk materials are often flown in by helo. We would sign NDA's and couldn't discuss the project, location, etc. A lot of them are cool people just concerned about the world around them but they live in bubbles, don't contribute anything to the local economy, and actually make things worse for us locals who don't have billions of dollars because they raise local housing prices, fight to close off public land, and go out of their way to muck things up.

In my state they found ways around permits and paperwork and recently we've seen many bunkers being built. How they got around having to get a permit was they went through native American tribes who are considered sovereign Nations one particular tribe has allowed several billionaires to build bunkers on land controlled by them for a one-time payment. This tribe also bought several thousand acres of land recently to create an import-export business because they do not have to pay taxes on it. I only know this because I trained their security for them for 15 years. I've been under a nondisclosure agreement for most of that time.

Empty the septic systems, change filters etc. I don’t think many have considered that they won’t have those minions working for their every needs after a while. Money would be worthless. Those people would be conscious of their own families. If the “payment” system ended up being that the minions family could stay and live in exchange for services, what would stop these people from not just taking out the “employer” and keeping their stuff. Money can buy you everything, especially in the world of corruption we live in. Money however is only good during a functioning economy. If nothing untoward did actually happen to their employers, at the least, those homes may just end up being fancy looking coffins for the very people that built them, but have no idea how to sustain them.

If the power grid was to go down for a long time due to natural disaster or other means, life would be very different to what you're living now. No power means no money besides whatever cash you have on you. But no business would be able to operate because they aren't equipped to carry out transactions without cash registers. Backup generators might work until the fuel runs out. Petrol stations can't pump without power. No more traffic lights, phones, no more GPS. No more internet. Water and gas are all controlled using electronic software. Produce farms require irrigation controlled with electronic timers. Canned food disappears from shelves in the hours and days following the lights going out. Once people have eaten all the food they can get their hands on and cannot get more, within a few days they'll turn to theft or they'll eat their pets. Those who have stored food will do what they need to do to protect it. Those who already commit crimes will have no issue continuing to do so in order to survive, and everybody in the middle will have to choose between their moral compass and their instinct to survive and protect their families.

The problem with New Zealand is that it’s highly likely that in the next 50-100 years it will be subject to either a catastrophic mega thrust earthquake, or at least a catastrophic strike-slip earthquake, given its location between two subduction zones, along the strike-slip Alpine Fault, or a catastrophic volcanic eruption from any number of active calderas and stratovolcanoes on the North Island. Auckland is literally built in the midst of a dormant basaltic volcanic field, and the city even has published plans of what it would need to do if such volcanoes erupted through the urban fabric. Coastal New Zealand is also at risk of Tsunami deluge from earthquakes anywhere around the Pacific Ring of Fire. The North Island is subject to all of these potential catastrophes, while the South Island no longer has active volcanoes, but is subject to more dangerous earthquakes and tsunamis. You’d think billionaires would take the time to learn a little geology before building an apocalypse bunker… Edit: I will say the relative low population, remoteness, and natural beauty of New Zealand is hard to beat, though.

[@Slyjoe]

What would be the ideal apocalypse location? From what i've read on the internet New Zealand is the safest place in case of a nuclear war or a pole shift with catastrophic events that follow. If everything you mentioned is true and on top of that New Zealand still is the safest place than we are fucked.

[@AvanaVana]

@@Slyjoe IMO it would be Australia, away from major cities. Australia has no nuclear power plants or weapons, and it’s good for all the reasons New Zealand is except that it’s not tectonically active, so no catastrophic earthquakes, and it has only dormant, tiny, volcanoes near the coast of SE Australia ( ictoria), and some effusive, recent volcanoes considered extinct in the Atherton tablelands in the far NE of Queensland, all of which are relatively very tame and unlikely to erupt at all, compared to the numerous, highly active, lahar-, ash- and pyroclastic flow-producing explosive (Plinian and Ultra-Plinian) stratovolcanoes and supervolcanoes of New Zealand. Humans survived extremely well in the outback (and all over Australia) for tens of thousand of years before it was colonized. Even today it has one of the lowest population densities in the world, high quality of air (except for temporary dust storms), the largest artesian basin (aquifer system) in the world, ample opportunity for solar and wind power generation, etc. So that is my take on it. New Zealand is wonderful, but the whole place is just waiting for a massive natural disaster, or two or three in the next 50 years.

[@debbiehenri345]

Actually, New Zealand is only a good distance from most people, it is no distance at all from the 'worst' people. Besides, being trapped underground in a bunker, potentially forever, with the same rooms, same people, same long life food, same stuff, nowhere to go, no one new to meet - that's hell. People were going nuts during lockdown - and yet they 'still' had freedom to look out of and open their windows, sing from balconies, use their gardens if they had one, to go shopping, take exercise in a park if they lived in cities, take exercise in the countryside if they lived in rural areas, get medical help. Now, you imagine being locked down so you couldn't ever open your front door ever again. The authorities paint over your windows so you were without a view. That's what life would be like if you used your bunker to escape climate collapse, because that's not something that will right itself in a few months. It will take thousands of years to recover from what we've done. In the case of nuclear war. Yes, after an initial blast, it takes about 2 days for radiation levels in the immediate area to reduce to acceptable levels. But while you were hiding underground - did anyone bomb any nuclear power plants? Don't know. Are these plants now leaking radiation without anyone left alive to stop them? Don't know. More to the point - are those perpetrators who triggered the nuclear war now emerged from their bunkers, leaving the ruins of their own country behind, and on their way to your nice little country with rockets and arms enough to throw aside the entire population? These rich folks think they can 'escape' catastrophe in bunkers. But can they live long under such conditions after the lifestyles they are used to living? Highly unlikely. Convicts in solitary for too long go peculiar. Kids who never leave their rooms and play on computers 24/7 go peculiar. People who barricade themselves indoors over an exaggerated fear of germs 'are' peculiar. Can you imagine what a spoiled, trophy wife and a couple of kids used to having everything they want are going to be like after a few months in solitary? Nightmare.

You have $20,000,000, and you don't tell your wife about your mistress, your kids that they aren't yours, your lawyer about your crimes, your broker about all of your accounts, or any of your family about your 'other house'. The only reason 'normal people' find out about 1/10th of it, is because when they reach asset value of $1-billion or more, they can't remember (or keep straight) all their lies, to the point that they drop clues or admit little truths...and if you listen carefully, and note what you heard, you figure out some of what 'is hidden' in the middle.

My wife worked as a cleaner for a company contracted to work for Russian billionaire. This was outside Whangarei, in the far North where land is much cheaper than in Queenstown. He had an estate that was marketed as a holiday space for exclusively wealthy clientele. It was apparently fitted with an enormous pumping station underneath the house, filled with engines and backup generators for pumping out sea water in the case of a Tsunami.

[@judioliver8082]

I enjoyed this although no bunkers were discovered. The point I am left with is that once again we see the extremely wealthy are sucking the life out of what once was a vibrant community in Queenstown. My hope is that when the disaster strikes the wealthy can't actually get to their flash houses so the bar tenders, and good people of Queenstown end up living in these houses. We have the same situation in the Bay of Islands, on Waiheke, and all around New Zealand. Big flash empty houses while the decent people find it hard to make ends meet. I don't see these wealthy as intelligent and clever at all.

[@hiteck007]

They bloody do suck the life out of a place like a thousand Leaches all at once.

[@LazyToad]

I agree that a bunch of empty houses don't add to the place, but what life was in those areas that was "sucked out"? Seems to me that at least the construction workers got extra jobs (and likely a bonus for signing an NDA). Housing is expensive precisely because you have all the building codes and inspections and "consents / permits".

[@judioliver8082]

@@LazyToad Yes, what I mean by sucking the life out of the small communities is this - people who are wealthy enough to choose where they can live are attracted to beautiful areas that are sparcely poplulated by hard working people with their own ways of doing things. Other wealthy people follow and soon there is a community. The wealthy feel that some things are not so cool for them [like dog poo on the beach] so they get on the council and community boards . . and put signs us everywhere . . . you see where I'm going . . 10 years later you have a mini Auckland and it has sucked the life out of that small community. My point is not everyone thinks like these and their arrogant tendency to boss others around and take over does actually piss the gentle people off.

Maybe it's just my personal outlook, but I can't imagine wanting to be around after some world ending event that would be cause for need of a bunker. Only to reenter a world totally foreign to the one we left, none of our modern comforts or amenities. I can only hope, for their own sake, the people putting thousands of dollars into bunkers are also taking lessons on survival and general life skills. What good is a safe hole in the dirt if everything is gone? I fear we, as a society, have grown so comfortable in modern life that we would parish without electricity or the internet, with or without nukes or plagues or the collapse of society.
