About this listen

 In this compelling exploration of modern survivalism, Miles Mercer examines how bunker culture evolved from government civil defense to private preparedness. The episode charts the rise of prepper culture from its 1970s origins through watershed moments like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, revealing how modern DIY bunkers have become sophisticated self-contained systems. Through profiles of influential preppers and examination of technological innovations in air filtration, water systems, and power generation, Mercer unveils a movement that balances individualism with community resilience. The episode concludes by examining the psychological dimensions of bunker ownership and how recent events like the COVID-19 pandemic have expanded prepper culture beyond its traditional boundaries.
