Wayne’s Inspiration
It’s possible to draw motivation from Wayne’s story, but his idea of building a bunker didn’t just come out of nowhere. There’s a booming bunker business in the U.S., and it’s common practice amongst DIY constructors to build their own back yard bunker.
In fact, it was once promoted by the American government. During the Cold War, authorities recommended the set-up of individual safe rooms. At the time, the federal government was concerned with the possibility of a Soviet nuclear attack and saw bunkers as a safety measure to ensure the survival of the population.
