New Civilization

New civilization prepping is the most extreme stage of preparedness. It is for families who expect to come through a cataclysmic event and rebuild on the other side. Some invest fortunes, like Mark Zuckerberg's doomsday bunker in Hawaii or survival condos built inside decommissioned missile silos. Rural preppers, homesteaders and off grid preppers reach the same stage through remoteness, hardened construction and self sufficiency. What unites them is not money but a time horizon measured in generations.

New civilization prepping is the stage where preparedness stops asking how to get through a crisis and starts asking what comes after. These preppers plan to walk out the other side of a cataclysmic event and help rebuild. Their planning horizon is measured in generations, not days or seasons.

This stage draws two kinds of families. Some have the wealth to build hardened shelters, underground bunkers and self contained compounds. Others are rural preppers, homesteaders and off grid preppers who trade big budgets for remoteness, water security and deep self sufficiency. Both store more than food and fuel. They put by tools, seed and the knowledge a community needs to start over.

• Bunkers: A look at the Zuckerberg doomsday bunker in Hawaii and what its scale reveals about extreme preparedness.
• Wealth: How wealthy preppers invest in survival condos and private compounds.
• Fallout: What surviving nuclear fallout asks of a family and its shelter.
• Targets: The U.S. cities that could be nuclear targets and why location shapes a long term plan.

Whichever stage you occupy today, the work continues. Threats change and skills fade without practice. Staying educated is the one stage every prepper keeps for good.
