A smart businessman known as Scott is cashing out big time as many rich Americans are shelling out millions of Dollars to build iron-cast houses deep into the ground, where they and their family will take refugee in case a nuclear war breaks out.
The idea of building bunkers that can survive a nuclear bomb was supposed to be a niche business for Scott, who already made a decent living building storm shelters. Eight years ago, a woman asked him to build a really big storm shelter.
"I'm like, 'What do you mean by really big?'
"She's like, 'I want it 40 feet in length.'"
Scott realized that wasn't a shelter; that was a bunker. He expanded his steel fabrication capabilities to accommodate her. "Before I finished that one, someone else had ordered one. Before I finished that next one, someone else ordered one."
Scott eventually took $3 million from his storm shelter business and poured it into creating the bunker company.
The new venture fit Scott's personality. "I was raised as a prepper," he said. "Nuclear war was always coming."
He remains concerned that war is imminent, that an attack will take down the grid, that stores will soon be cleared of food and supplies, and that people will turn on each other. "We are the longest living government in the history of the world without a complete collapse, the United States," Scott said solemnly. "It's our time."
The most popular bunker he sells measures 500 square feet and costs $125,000. It's set 11 feet underground and topped by four feet of dirt and one foot of concrete.
Inside are bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, pantry, along with an air filtration system, solar power, hidden doors, reinforced locks, and water purifiers that connect to an underground tank.
Everything is off the grid, and everything is made from stainless steel.
