As part of the survivalist/prepper community we discuss various types of shelters that can either be purchased from a manufacturer, or built through the blood, sweat and tears of our own trials. Using shipping containers for survival shelters is not a new concept per se. Several people in the past have purchased and repurposed shipping containers for survival shelters.

It never ceases to amaze me the financial expenditure some survivalists will go to in order to secure a safe haven. Millions of dollars invested in purchasing and retrofitting a decommissioned missile silo, to me at least, seems excessive for any prepper, even if you are financially fortunate enough to afford such a prepper palace. Using shipping containers for survival shelters is a cost effective approach to getting your bug out bunker in place.
