There was a lot of work to do, but hopefully with the right amount of time, money and effort he could have a home where he and his brother could be comfortable and safe. A home, sweet bunker.

“The Slow Road” by Jerry D. Young
JASPER WAS A PRACTICAL MAN So the idea of being prepared for natural disasters made sense to him. He wasn’t particularly wealthy, but he was a hard worker and willing to put in the overtime necessary to be able to set aside some things for himself and his family every now and then. For him, it wasn’t that he was necessarily preparing for anything in particular, it was just that in an uncertain world it made sense to him that he should be ready, just in case. Sure enough, the time came when Jasper did need the things he had set aside, it just wasn’t for the reasons he had thought that he would need them. In any event, although he took the slow road, when troubling times came he was ready.

The truth is, in a world of “What Ifs?”, anything could happen.
“When A Plan Comes Together” by Jerry D. Young
JAY JONES WAS A PREPPER.
His wife on the other hand was not, although she didn’t really mind it. To her, the prepping Jay did was just his hobby, one of the things he like to spend money on for himself. In some ways she actually liked it because it allowed her to have a defense if he would ever mention her spending money on her own hobbies, which he never did. Jay was passionate about protecting his family and felt better knowing that he had a plan for any emergency that he and his family may experience. Unfortunately, at times Jay had to travel for work and he was concerned that his wife’s indifference towards his preparations might be a weakness that his prepping cannot overcome.
