Shed DIY Backup Hideout for Disaster Preparedness

If you’ve ever watched the show Doomsday Bunkers, there’s no doubt you’ve thought over how handy it would be to have your own backup hideout for disaster preparedness. While it’s possible these mega wealthy doomsday preppers are just looking for new ways to spend their fortunes… maybe, just maybe, they have the right idea.

The COVID-19 epidemic is enough to have even the most level headed of us thinking about emergency prep. Nobody could have imagined a month ago we’d be waiting in long grocery lines, hunting for toilet paper, and eyeing fellow shoppers with suspicion. If any good comes from this situation, it has woken us up to the reality of how quickly society as we know it can crumble.

There’s no better time than now to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Natural disasters

Take a look at how one man converted his garden shed into an earthquake emergency shelter. After a tree blew across his driveway knocking out power to his home, he decided to make his own shed backup hideout. Full story here.

While earthquakes aren’t a big concern living in New England, you never know what nature will throw our way and you can always expect a few Nor’easters in the mix. Whether a tree falls on your house, you lose power, or you need somewhere discreet to hide in a zombie apocalypse… look no further than a storage shed.
