Shipping containers and preppers seem to go hand in hand, and here’s my logic: A goal of many preppers is to have a fall-back location from which they can regroup and rally that’s away from the epicenter of (insert disaster here).  This fallback location, or bug out shelter, should be secure, strong, and nondescript.  Does that type of structure sound like anything we discuss here?

Preppers can buy a shipping container, have a few simple modifications made, and move it to a secure location where they can stock the unit with the necessary supplies and use it for training their family and core group.

There are a lot of useful links about prepping available, and rather than regurgitate what’s already available, here are a few captions and links to useful articles relating to both shipping containers and prepping.
