This is on point. I'm Magnit Chakrabardi. Climate change, pandemics, political, economic

and social unrest. There are any number of reasons to look upon the future with more

than a shiver of uncertainty. So you've got to prepare for that uncertainty, right? You've

got to prep. Now, you could be a doomsday prepper with your at-home arsenal and MREs, or you

could be a bug out prepper like me. We've got go bags ready for my entire family in the

event that we have to evacuate in a hurry. I'm thinking something like a hurricane scenario.

We're also ready to shelter in a place if we had to. That, though, is kind of small-scale

prepping because there's also the billionaire prepper.

You know, I've got shelter, bone alley, swimming pools, greenhouses, underground shooting ranges.

You're going to work out areas. Weapon storage is another, it's another big popular item that

we do a lot of. You know, I mean, just you almost, you can almost name it at this point and

I've done it.

That's Gary Lynch. He's the general manager of Rising S Company, a residential bunker builder

based in Merchants and Texas. Their motto, we don't sell fear, we sell preparedness.

There's not always wartime. You know, a lot of times it's people worried about, you know,

second and end of loss. You know, it could be people, you know, worried about civil and

social unrest. You know, we want to mean things like that.

In fact, billionaire bunker building is a booming business. Gary's family business has been

around since 2002. It's the largest and oldest in the industry. And at first, they were

building mostly storm shelters. But now it's shelters really designed for long term stays.

My small shelter is 96 square feet. The largest one I've done is 14,000 square feet. So there's

140,000 small shelters, you know, square footwise in that.
