The world is going to heck in a handbasket. But if you’re a survivalist with a shipping container, you will be the last one to turn out the lights. Yes….cargo container homes are going from above ground, to below. And they’re doing it in very creative ways.
In the high country of Oregon, one gentleman had two cargo containers air lifted to him because the terrain wasn’t semi-truck friendly. One 48′ shipping container was morphed into his home “for use now”….the other for his home “after the Big One”…whatever he considered the “Big One” to be. He had a big hole dug, and ocean container two was buried. It’s stocked with a food supply, water, first aid, he has a rudimentary electrical system, a generator, everything he needs to survive the catastrophe which undoubtedly is expected to happen. An underground tunnel connects his upper cargo container house to the lower one.
If you have thoughts of doing the same, we do have people who can tell you how to go about ventilating and electrifying a shipping container. Some can even be fitted with a basic plumbing system. A shipping container could be the best hedge you have between survival and becoming a anarchy statistic. So says the man in eastern Oregon from his cargo container bunker.
