Hello, well to start off me and a small team are looking into building a doomsday safe haven that we can rent out space to people and along the year have people come visit. It will be located in Georgia on around 50 acers of Timber land with a small lake towards the end of the property, now the building we are having multiple plans being drawn up but the basic idea is a 3 story building with a living roof just incase we cannot farm on the land. 3 or more surrounding buildings connected to each other. Only way to acces the main building is threw the roof of a side building kind of like a draw bridge. One of the buildings will have a garage the slopes down underground. Under the main building and 3 or more surrounding buildings there will be a sub floor like a large basement. We will have room for about 150-200 people (so far ) and that's in a comfortable private living space. We will have a water tower but the kind in the ground like a pool but closed off and a way to gather rain water holds around 500k gallons of water at a time. We will have a small lab, for testing . A medical room and a surgery room, a exsercise department. A work shop room, kitchen and cafeteria , a library , data store room, overseer quarters, armory , small vault, communications, a auditorium just big enough to fit everyone for entertainment, in the garage there will be multiple vehicles for when we need to go out look for supplies,people,ect. We will gather electricity from wind and on the 3rd floor retractable solar panels on the east and west of the buildings the 2nd and 3rd floor will have some windows that are closed off at night a concert slab is hand cranked to cover it from outside hurricane or bullets. This is more or less where we are now I want to know from other Preppers what would you like to see, things you would want if you staid here. And yes everyone would have assign jobs and will be evaluated before coming .

50 acres of crop land won't support the 200 folks you say this facility will house. if you grew corn and got what Dept of Ag says of 70 bushels per acre at 56 lbs of shelled corn per bushel you'd need at least 56 acres of crop land alone and that would not allow for crop rotation.

And that doesn't take into consideration raising cattle hogs sheep or fowl for meat.

Also even if you use jail cell dimensions 6'x8' you'll need right at 10,000 square feet to just house them.

Also a half million gallons of water only last 200 folks about 25 days at 10 gallons per person and that's a very low amount and will take a storage container 100' X 100' x 6.5' tall or so.

Lastly it things go really hooptie you're probably going to need draft animals - mules, horses, oxen - to replace such items as tractors tillers and other forms of transportation. My guess would be at least 50 horses just to get by and then you'd need a source of feed - oats hay etc - for them

I would be supprised if you could get by with anything less than two sections and more likely five to be on the safe side

SuperCuban who posted the OP has not signed in since the day (9/17) that he made the post. Guess he's not super committed to this commune.

"a concert slab is hand cranked to cover it from outside hurricane or bullets."
Well I... I've never hand cranked a concert slab. I wonder what it would be like? Will this be a rock concert? Def Leppard's "Armageddon it" comes to mind or possibly the Scorpion's "Rock you like a Hurricane!"

he's or she's a super a Cuban and a Jew? wow , that's a messed up combination!! so, that means it's a real heavy communistic Jewish Cuban with dreams of ruling the world--or not
easy to spot the weirdo's
we have room but it's not built yet
we every thing a doc, a dietician, a dentist, farmers, x mega spec ops deep cover hardcore ss troopers, ect. but again we haven't figured out were it will be
we can make our own electricity but it isn't built yet
we have an unlimited water supply but we don't know were yet
the reason we haven't built it yet is cause we are not out of grade school and or parents haven't given us the green light for the garage yet.

Damn, you nut jobs scared off my best chance at a shtf utopia haven where everything was taken care of for me! Shame on you and your practical approach to real and basic human needs! I was particular to the slab of bullet Deflecting rock concert storm deflecting concrete. That there sounds brilliant. I may just steal that idea and use it also as a moose and polar bear repellent. I'm expecting zombie moose in these here parts will be a real issue post shtf....

I keep coming back to re-read the origonal post. Fascinating. I detect a Dungeons and Dragons background, with maybe a little Sim City thrown in. He's got a good imagination, but little technical knowledge and very low math skills. With some mentoring, though, he could make a real prepper. I think some of the answers given by members were great, if he studied them, he could really learn something. I know I did.

Well, that part about quarters for the 'overseer' kinda scared me off a little. We don't need no steekin' overseer. Sorry. I'll pass.

Reminds me of High School

Overseer Overture

Colours I've none, dark or light, red, white or blue.
Cold is my touch (freezing).

Summoned by name - I am the overseer over you.
Given this command to watch o'er our miserable sphere.
Fallen from grace, called on to bring sun or rain.
Occasional corn from my oversight grew.
Fell with mine angels from a far better place,
offering services for the saving of face.
Now you're here, you may as well admire
all whom living has retired from the benign reconciliation.
Legends were born surrounding mysterious lights
seen in the sky (flashing).
I just lit a *** then took my leave in the blink of an eye.
Passionate play join round the maypole in dance
(primitive rite) (wrongly).
Summoned by name I am the overseer over you.

Those lyrics read like Ian Anderson was a believer in UFOs and the Ancient Alien Theory.

I've still not received my copy of the forced breeding schedule. Did I miss the signup link?
