Climate Change Protection Complex

That's what they call this new prefab from the Survival Center in McKenna, Washington, the perfect home for the new survivalists. They take five of these steel 27 foot long tanks and link them together, and includes everything you will need to survive for up to ten years. Each of the modules serves a particular function:
Climate Change Protection Complex
1. The Main Shelter is the living area with sleeping, cooking, shower and toilet facilities.
2. Food. The Food Shelter is where most of the long term storage food is located. Some food preparation can be done here. This includes 10 years food supply (our choice) for 5 people. Grain mill for grinding grain, stainless steel cook ware, alcohol cook stove & fuel, utensils, flatware and kitchen basics.
3. Water. The Water Shelter is where most of the water, water purification, pumps, etc., is located. This supply will need to be replenished at regular intervals via a well, etc.
4. Medical. The Medical Shelter is the built in medical facility with extensive medical supplies including but not limited to be able to do minor surgery and long term care and special needs for the occupants. This area also doubles as the entertainment, play, recreation, sprouting, time out, etc., area when not in use as a medical facility. Can also be a back up sleeping area.
5. Utility. The Utility Shelter is the generator room with storage for fuel and extra supplies to repair and maintain the under ground facility. Also included a clothes washer, dryer, extra shower, inside gardening ( hydroponics, sprouting, etc. ) Communication center - short wave radio, satellite hook up, satellite phone, etc. Non-Hybrid Garden seeds and tools.
All units are connected to fresh air with NBC type filtering system operated by electric power with hand option included. Internal Battery bank is hooked up to gas/diesel generating system with stand alone solar electric generating backup system.
Being buried, it will fit nicely into any environment. All for only $ 1,570,000 plus installation. That's only $1453 per square foot! ::Survival Center
It that price is a bit high, they have a smaller, single bay unit for sale, fully equipped for $59,995, that you can even buy online.
Talk about prefab, I love them!
Bury the modules at different depths and make a human Habitrail complex. :P
i pray these are never needed. . .
If it keeps going the way it is... =/
Just be sure to enter the code every 108 minutes...
Wow. If that's the future, I'm depressed.
If it gets that bad, I don't think the earth would heal itself in 10 years. Sounds like a company trying to find a fresh market for bomb shelters.
This is just silly. The people installing these have bigger issues than future crisis.
I personally prefer the Quantum Sleeper anyways...

Wow.. human habitrail is right. I want one !
so... let's waste more resources to bring the problems upon us sooner?
Unfortunately the kooks already have shelters left over from Y2K.
Paranoids in a can.
Love it....

Love it....
5 people in this for 10 years???
Better pray that the medical module has some good counseling services and anger management tools available.
Heck i don't think 5 people would survive in this for one year.
Ooookay.
So what are they planning on protecting me from for 10 straight years? Constant hurricanes? Floods? Ice storms? Rising sea levels? Drought?
And if all that happens, what makes them think that it will be safe to come out in 10 years? If my shelter is under 5 feet of water, how is this going to protect me?
Or are they just protecting me against excess wealth and sanity?
If you look at predictions of earth after an ice age, it's usually New York skyscrapers complete buried under ice. I would rather have a boat in that situation to float around the equator!
If there is global warming, I would think that getting enough fresh water would be your main problem, but at least going underground would reduce the temperature.
