What if when the Zarmageddon comes, instead of running and settiung up your own survivor's camp, being a wood's hermit or becoming a roaming nomad you just stay put and wait it out?
It sounds safer to me, you basically wont have to do more then learn basic maintenance skills for your underground shelter of your choice. Boredom will be the biggest threat but its not that dangeours if you have a plan or share the shelter with someone else. I remember this movie called "Blast from the Past" I can imagine that scenario happening, heh.
In any case. Here are the cons and pros of going underground in this way.
Pro:
* Very Safe
* No complicated skills required
* Minimal risk of contamination, raider attack, zombies.
Cons:
* Expensive
* Boring
* No chance for you to be a hero "aka, save others" (unless you want to share your carefully picked and stored rations)
As for now, the only problem for me to get this kind of shelter is the money, I dont have money to buy or even plan for one.. it would be nice to find out if there are any shelters nearby.. maybe I can get lucky and the owner will be dead or I can convince him/her that Im worth saving, hah..
