These Apocalypse Preppers always seem so thick headed. After a real armageddon, where there is no more society, no money and no rule of law present, your "bunker" is going to be pointless. You think the roving warlords and their gangs are going to walk up to your property line, see a fence, and say, "Well, no raping and plundering here, it says 'Private Property'. Let's move along..." Ridiculous. Thick concrete walls will only stop them until they've finished off the easier targets.

Oh, you're going to hire armed security to protect you? What are you going to pay them with? Your stocks and bonds? The minute they're armed (to protect you) they might as well just take your bunker from you.

I think some of these guys are reading too much fiction and believe a lawless post-apocalyptic hellscape would actually be a red-tape-free, libertarian paradise where they can finally live out a tax-free life of luxury.
