    Me and my budy we spent a lot of weekends driving all around CO looking for a good place where we're gonna go with our families if SHTF... After we found a good spot - we bought it. Didn't cost too much.. We also put two motor homes there (they are not drivable, we just use them as shelters).
    Every time we can we bring more supplies there(secret spot not far from those motor homes) + stuff that we keep at home...
    I keep about a month + supply at home for me and my wife.
    This is really endless... It's gonna cost you some money to start but once you start you just buy little by little every other day..
    Anyway, the most important thing is - you START THINKING ABOUT IT!
    This is basically what I want to do, but I think I'm a little greener behind the ears and all that. A young couple with the high likelyhood of kids in the near future don't have a lot of money, but I was looking at some land out by Fairplay.. Maybe 10-20 acres that could also be used as a hunting cabin, relaxing getaway, prepping stash, etc. The only problem with that, is if the SHTF quickly (we're talking overnight chaos), we wouldn't be able to make it out in time and it would all be a loss...

    ETA: Somewhere someone mentioned the idea of a prepping gated community... I love this idea, but it would take a lot of work to make it happen.
