Inside the World's Largest Doomsday Bunker Community An Epic Humanitarian Project the size Of A city: 575 private bunkers with space for thousands in one of North America's safest locations: The decommissioned US Army Black Hills Ordnance Depot at Igloo, South Dakota; south of Edgemont, SD. Mankind has a continuing obsession with end of the world prophecies and judgement day. Any visible or invisible threat to life kicks our survival instincts into gear and we want to take action. The market capitalizes on this fear and pushes innovation and products that both feed and satisfy survivalism. I visited the Terra Vivos survival shelters in South Dakota last month. This former US Army Base was constructed in 1942 and was called the Black Hills Ordnance Depot. It served as an explosives and munitions storage and maintenance facility. The bunkers measure 27 feet in width and 60 to 80 feet in length. The foundation is made of 2 to 3 feet of reinforced concrete. The walls are 12 inches thick and have a trench running down the sides. The interior space is 13 feet tall at their highest point. This entire survival shelter project is headed by Robert Vicino who has a background in manufacturing and real estate. His son, Dante Vicino gave us a tour of the Terra Vivos site and took us to some unfinished and completed bunkers. The bunkers are completely off the grid. To make them livable, you have to consider 4 main utilities. Water, Sewage, Energy, Internet Access. They are structurally sound, so you don’t have to add any additional support or reinforcement. Soil in the area is stable unlike the clayey soil in Texas, so most of the 82 year old foundations are in great shape and don't have any cracks. The curved interior walls are made of board-formed concrete. You can still see the beautiful wood grain etched into the concrete. Working remotely is no longer an issue. Thermal mass of the 12 inch thick concrete walls store heat or thermal energy during the day and slowly release it at night when it’s cooler. It can be turned into a self-sufficient town with a supermarket, hardware store, bars and restaurants. I see a lot of similarities to Marfa which is a small desert city in West Texas. Marfa was also a military town in the 1940s but it was converted into a cultural hub by Donald Judd, a minimalist artist from New York City. It’s an over-ambitious plan. Out of the 800 bunkers on site, the Vivos company wants to convert 575 of them. So far, only 50 have been purchased. The lease plan prevents you from ever owning your bunker. The wildlife like cows and deer that roam the site often climb on top of the bunkers causing erosion of the soil and grass, and exposing the concrete. Since it’s not “underground” it’s not as safe as other survival shelters that are buried 3 to 10 feet underground. The company is catering to a small group of people. They warn of nuclear war, bioterrorism, anarchy, electro-magnetic pulses, solar flares, super volcanoes, etc. If they marketed their bunkers as a way to protect family, life and belongings, it might be more popular with a larger group of people. Remote location. In the event of a disaster, you’d need a private plane to take you to Provo, South Dakota. It only works as a survival shelter if you are permanently living there. The nearest hardware store is in Hot Springs, about 45 minutes to an hour away. Vicino’s contractors designed layouts, but I wasn’t impressed with the quality of their work. Contamination of the subsurface soil and water supply is a concern to some residents in the area. Long term effects of living in a concrete box with no sunlight are also problematic. It’s an exciting project with a lot of potential if a significant number of individuals move to the area. I don’t know what category these bunkers fit into. It’s not a luxury survival shelter, it’s not in a super-secure, secret location, it’s not conveniently located near a major city unless you consider Rapid City a major city; and it’s not underground. At best, it is an earth sheltered home or bungalow. I’m wary of it turning into a thriving community, unless their marketing strategy changes. https://rumble.com/v5gidwh-inside-the-worlds-largest-doomsday-bunker-community.html

Daily Life Disruptions The rise of mass tourism in popular destinations like Spain has led to significant backlash from local residents, who are increasingly voicing their discontent and taking action against the influx of visitors. The protests in Barcelona and Mallorca highlight the trash tourism has on local communities, from skyrocketing property prices to daily inconveniences caused by overcrowding. This phenomenon drives locals out of their homes as they can't compete with the high rents driven by short-term tourist accommodations. Daily Life Disruptions: The everyday life of residents is disrupted by the sheer number of tourists. Public transportation becomes overcrowded, and essential services like street cleaning are strained under the increased load, leading to a decline in the quality of life. Local Business Accessibility: Tourists occupying local restaurants and other facilities make it difficult for residents to enjoy their favorite spots. This contributes to a sense of alienation and frustration among locals. This issue is not isolated to Spain. Countries such as Japan, Austria, and Mexico are also Venice in Italy, grappling with the challenge of balancing the benefits of tourism with the needs of their residents. These nations are exploring ways to create sustainable tourism models that protect local communities while still benefiting from the economic boost that tourism provides. New ways, to encourage practices that minimize environmental impact and spread the benefits of tourism more evenly throughout the year can reduce the pressure on popular destinations. This includes promoting off-season travel and lesser-known attractions. The Big Infrastructure: Improving public services and infrastructure to handle the influx of tourists can mitigate some of the negative impacts. This might involve expanding public transport capacity and enhancing waste management systems. In substance, these challenges require a concerted effort from governments, businesses, and communities to develop strategies that promote sustainable and inclusive tourism.

Kids of the 1960's Your clothes came from Kmart and they stayed on layaway until school started. Eating out at a restaurant was a thing every now & then!! Fast food was leftovers at home. Eating popsicles was a treat on a hot day. We had fake cigs for candy and you only needed 50 cents or less. School was mandatory. You took your school clothes off as soon as you got home and put on your play clothes. If no one was home after school, you went to the neighbors. Nobody paid for daycare because we had a key to the house to get in when we got home. We ate dinner at the table. Our house phone wasn't always being used. We played Cops and Robbers, 1-2-3 Not It, Red Light Green Light, Hide & Seek, Truth or Dare, Tag, Kickball, Dodgeball & we rode bikes. Girls and Boys played in the street. We came home when the street lights came on. Staying in the house was a punishment and the only thing we knew about being "bored," "You better find something to do before I find it for you!" We ate what Mom made for dinner or we ate nothing at all. There was no bottled water; we drank from the tap or the water hose! "Quit your sniveling before I give you something to cry about!" Phone numbers and addresses were either memorized or written on a folded piece of paper which was kept with you at all times! What were Cell phones? We watched cartoons on Saturday mornings and rode our bikes for hours. We ran around in the streets until dark and came in before the streetlights came on. We were AFRAID OF NOTHING, unlike the spoiled brats of today. We watched our mouths around our Elders. If we acted up we got beat with a wooden paddle, switch or belt or worse, like getting your mouth washed out with lava hand soap for cussing! These were the good old days. Kids today will never know how it feels to be a real kid, they will never understand my childhood! https://imgflip.com/i/8xdrj1

I'M TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS: BIRD FLU COMES FROM BIRDS, INFECTS CHICKENS, MILLIONS OF CHICKENS ARE KILLED, CHICKEN AND EGGS BECOME EXPENSIVE AND WE HAVE SHORTAGES OF EGGS... SOMEHOW, THE INFECTION AFFECTS COWS, LOTS OF COWS ARE KILLED OR VACCINATED AND DYING... THEY WANT TO REDUCE HUMAN CONSUMPTION OF BEEF, (COWS CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE). IN RECORD TIME, THEY ALREADY HAVE A HUMAN "VACCINE" FOR BIRD FLU... IF BIRD FLU BECOMES A "PANDEMIC", VACCINATIONS COULD BE SIMILAR TO THE "COVID PANDEMIC", QUASI COMPULSORY IN ORDER TO STAY LIVING "NORMALLY", I MEAN, WORKING, GOING TO SCHOOL, RECEIVING SERVICES AND EATING IN RESTAURANTS. PROBABLY MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE AFTER THE VACCINATIONS BUT FOR THE SURVIVORS, THE NEW FOOD IS BEING PRODUCED ALREADY. BUGS WILL COME IN NICE PACKAGES, FULLY COOKED AND WITH DIFFERENT FLAVORS. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
