Narrator: During the Cold War, the US government

built numerous missile silos in secret locations

But there's one in an undisclosed location

Welcome to the $3 million doomsday-proof condo.

Larry Hall: It's not the luxury that drives the cost,

and the threats you're protecting against,

the duration that you can be off-grid for.

that can withstand a direct nuclear impact.

In 2008, Larry Hall bought the property for $300,000.

Hall: We said, "Hey, if we're gonna build

and only have designed it for one and a half years."

So we said, "What would we have to do to make

this place capable of sustaining people indefinitely?"

And that turned out to be quite a cost-driver.

Narrator: Hall's team spent nearly $20 million to turn

the missile silo into a secure shelter for 12 families.

They installed three redundant power supplies,

three separate water sources and a water filtration system,

Hall: You need to make life as normal as it can be

Narrator: The team added a swimming pool,

gym, rock climbing wall, movie theater, dog park, and more.

Hall: What you really wanna do is make sure

that people feel productive, so you're gonna need

everyone to be working four-hour workdays,

and every 30 days, people will rotate jobs

so you don't have any single points of failure

and everybody knows how to do all of the jobs there.

The idea was so popular that every unit sold

The project is just one example of success

is stronger, larger, and more comfortable.

Outdoors, you can build an earth-covered shelter,

against blasts, fire, radiation, and radioactive fallout.

Narrator: Doomsday prepping isn't a new idea.

In the '50s and '60s, houses were built with bunkers,

and shelters started popping up during the Cold War.

Today's preppers have plenty of survival shelter options.

They can choose from converted shipping containers

to houses designed to stand up to natural disasters

to survival communities with country club amenities.

Doomsday preppers can also prepare for emergencies

ranging from water filters and freeze-dried food

to gas masks and emergency power sources.

Hall: They worry about world events and natural events

and the things that they see in the news more frequently.

People that call and worry about things like

people worry about some type of a global pandemic.

It just seems like anything that could translate

into a larger dilemma could present itself as a problem.

Narrator: And market activity backs that up.

Sales spikes occur after natural disasters.

For example, Mountain House, a freeze-dried food

distributor, reported that sales of food made

to last for 25 years increased fourteenfold

Fears about the economy and foreign relations

In the week after Barack Obama's re-election,

one website sold $400,000 of prepackaged meals,

reported a 15% growth in year-over-year sales

between Trump and Kim Jong-un in North Korea,

there was a real big spike in phone calls.

Narrator: Prep and Save, a survival equipment store

The store saw a 200-400% increase in business

The size of the market is difficult to calculate.

But in 2012, public spending on emergency prep
