    heres an interesting question: if you live in town and don't have a well/septic, what are your options? i was thinking steel shutter systems would be nice too over the windows. certainly some form of concrete tyype walls is probably a good idea, possibly a steel roof?

    Lugable LOO. Yes we have one, in the crawl space / lower level access. It will hold 6 rolls of TP when not in use. 1 box contains 5-6 disposable, self contained , bio-degradable crapper bags.

    Residential fire sprinkler systems are designed for one purpose; life safety. In short, to make sure your family gets out of the house. While they may suppress a fire, I wouldn't rely on them in a SHTF scenario.

    That is sweet I'd hate to see the price though. I'd like to have a couple of those burried under my house, but the house still needs to survive an asualt long enough to get in there,

    Better to have and not need than need and not have. 30 seconds of cover fire when exiting the home is better than no cover fire. Having a pressurized system might be a deciding factor. Again, each to their own.
