Called Fortitude Ranch, the outposts promise protection and a year’s supply of food for those unable to build their own bunker. What’s more, until a crisis strikes, they are being used for prepper training and vacations.
We’re seeing members from all the three letter agencies,” said Fortitude creator Drew Miller, a retired Air Force colonel and intelligence officer, in a reference to the Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Do they know something we don't, or is this just more fear-mongering?
There have been numerous reports recently warning of EMP, nuclear and viral attacks from Russia, Iran and North Korea.
“You’d have to be an idiot not to think it will happen,” said Miller, author of “Rohan Nation: Reinventing America After the 2020 Collapse.”

You're most likely spot-on with the book sales. Although, I've always been one to believe that when the elite or those in the know start prepping, it's time to worry.

The article basically descibes how a number of Washington-area professionals, some from the 3-letter agencies, have started prepping for scenarios ranging from long-term weather related outages to EMP, nuclear, or biological attacks.

Who knows what is going to happen, but better safe than sorry. I have a couple of Faraday cage rooms where I keep electronics, radios, batteries, alternators, generators, vehicle electronics, etc., just in case. Between 3 families we have a thousand acres, 600 arable, with 3 farmhouses and 4 barns bordering streams with a waterfall for hydro generators, wind generators and 2 small lakes, and the wells are already done. We all live outside major population centers so we should have fairly clear roads and a lot of backroads if the time comes, and we all have 4x4's. We have a plan at least. If SHTF, major population centers will run out of fuel and food in a day. I don't hope for it because I know life would be hard, but it is always a good idea to be somewhat prepared in bizarro world.
