Yes, some of those preppers were beyond the norm. I would never live in a bunker.........for fear of radiation. I'd take my chances with that.

WE feel we are in a relatively very safe location, but you never know who could come over the border from Canada.

We don't live in fear at all. Just have always been prepared.

Forgot to add:
Generators in case the power goes out.
Alternate sources of "light".......
It's what we all do up here.........be prepared.
