Those who can afford to pull out all the stops for so-called
self-preservation are doing so — in a fashion that goes way beyond the
submerged corrugated metal units adopted by reality show "preppers" — to
prepare for anything from nuclear bombings to drastic climate-change
events. Gary Lynch, GM at Rising S Bunkers, a Texas-based company that
specializes in underground bunkers and services scores of Los Angeles
residences, says that sales at the most upscale end of the market —
mainly to actors, pro athletes and politicians (who require signed NDAs)
— have increased 700 percent this year compared with 2015, and overall
sales have risen 150 percent. "Any time there is a turbulent political
landscape, we see a spike in our sales. Given this election is as
turbulent as it is, we are gearing up for an even bigger spike," says
marketing director Brad Roberson of sales of bunkers that start at
$39,000 and can run $8.35 million or more (FYI, a 12-stall horse shelter
is $98,500).
