Inside Russia’s end of the world bunker

Written by . Posted on January 28, 2013. Filed under Safe house. Tagged , , , , . No comments.

Remember that Mayan-end-of-the-world madness that people got so excited about last year? Well, we’re a bit late on finding the best place to party on the last day on earth (had it really happened), and if we had to recommend somewhere it definitely would be in a big-ass luxury bunker.

Abandoned Islands of Colombian Drug Lords

Written by . Posted on December 27, 2012. Filed under Images, Safe house. Tagged , , , , . No comments.

This collection of photographs show the islands that Colombian drug lords lived on and protected themselves from rival cartels and government troops with hundreds of gunmen. One of the islands belonged to Pablo Escobar, but now that all the large Colombian drug cartels have been wiped out and these islands are property of the state, all that remains are the abandoned structures. It’s a shame really; someone should buy up these islands because they would make an awesome series of zombie survival structures!

The Ultimate Keep Fit Safe House

This is the ultimate safe house for ‘keep fit’ junkies. You finally have an excuse to use that gym membership in your wallet that you pay for every month. Make an excursion down to the gym, take as many treadmills as you can, and position them around your house. Hook them up to a few solar panels and you can sit back, content in being the carrot, dangling in front of the donkey that they can never get to.

Cocoon Tree

Written by . Posted on November 26, 2012. Filed under Safe house, Survival. Tagged , , . No comments.

The Cocoon Tree is a giant sphere made from aluminium poles covered with tarpaulin and is intended to “get you in harmony with nature” and to “reconnect with sensations forgotten since the modern world consumes us today”, but we think this is actually just a bloody good zombie hideout. Probably not very good for hauling around with you, but where better to spend a few nights catching up on some much needed sleep than suspended above the ground in a hanging tent, safe from the zombie threat. Obviously you would have to hang this thing a bit higher up than in the picture, but you get the idea. You could even get a few of these and start a small community up in the trees (once you’d sorted out a food and water supply of course).

What would make a great post-apocalyptic family hotel? The Fitzroy!

Here is an amazing project to support!

Our friends at Dresden Pictures are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to get their feature film ‘The Fitzroy‘ funded. Although not strictly a zombie film, the idea is so great we need to show them some support.A postcard from The Fitzroy

The story is set in a post-apocalyptic 1950’s Margate. The world is covered in a poisonous gas and the Fitzroy Hotel (a beached submarine) is the last place for a traditional holiday.

Safe house: House on Drina River

Written by . Posted on November 7, 2012. Filed under Safe house. Tagged , , . No comments.

This house could be a nice idea for a safe house. The river (if deep enough) forms a natural border against shamblers. If you have a cooking facility inside you should be fine regarding water. And a river this size should have some nce fish to catch. With the kayak, you do have a way out if shit hits the fan. You definitely have a good view around, so nothing and nobody can sneak up on you.

best zombie island ever

Check this out – is it the perfect zombie defence island? It’s in Denmark and it’s called Flakfortet which is an artificial island that was created between 1910 and 1914 as a part of the Copenhagen defense and was used by the military up until 1968. The island sits 23 metres high, is 30,000 metres square, and contains an extensive complex over two floors that has corridors connecting ammunition magazines, living quarters, a machine room, and a barracks which housed 550 men.

The ‘Doomsday shelter’

Written by . Posted on July 14, 2012. Filed under Safe house. Tagged , , . No comments.

This doomsday shelter is being built below Kansas prairie where millionaires will be able to sit out the Apocalypse in style.

So far, four buyers have thrown down a total of about $7million (£4.4m) for havens to flee to when disaster happens or the end is nigh. And developer Larry Hall has options to retro-fit three more Cold War-era silos when this one fills up.

What worries me about this though is that although it may be comfortable and full of rich people to hang out with and chat about “the old days” with, it is an underground shelter. Underground shelters worry me because they are secret and so no rescue team is coming, and secondly they become a death trap if breached. Even if there is more than one way in and out, can you trust everyone else in there to not give away your position and avoid bringing unwanted attention? Personally, I would choose my survival group, not hole-up with a bunch of random millionaires.

Zombie safe house

Written by . Posted on July 9, 2012. Filed under Safe house. Tagged , , . No comments.

“The Safe House,” designed by Polish Architect Robert Konieczny at KWK Promes is pretty much the perfect zombie-proof construction. This house is real and is situated in a small village at the outskirts of Warsaw. Its design is essentially a giant concrete cuboid that unfolds origami-style to reveal a very modern living environment.

“The clients’ top priority was to gain the feeling of maximum security in their future house, which determined the building’s outlook and performance.

The innovation of this idea consists in the interference of the movable walls with the urban structure of the plot. Consequently, when the house is closed (at night for example) the safe zone is limited to the house’s outline. In the daytime, as a result of the walls opening, it extends to the garden surrounding the house.

The sliding walls are not dependent on the form of the building. That is why this patent can be applied to both modern and traditional, single- and multi – storeyed houses covered with roofs of different geometry.
This universal solution we came up with gives a new type of building where not the form but the way of functioning is the most important. The name: „safe house” gains a new meaning now.”
