Looks like there's a
list of Survivalist Groups, mostly in Canada and the U.S, but there's
even one listed for Australia.
Doesn't look there's a group for the DFW area of Texas... Maybe it's because the area is anticipated to become slag in the event of a nuclear

I haven't really read anything that made the guy sound kooky. He gives pretty valid reasons for each decision. Like the bunking men and women and
children seperately thing. He's got to protect the maximum number of people, and they'll need to sleep, change, etc, in shifts. There's not really

restless. As long as they feel like they're doing something important, versus the sort of drop in morale and discipline that would accompany a
"sleep all day, sit around and play poker" existance.
As far as the aesthetics, all I can say is some people can complain about anything.

middle of nowhere, so to speak, and proceeded to build a house made of tires. Yep, tires. Filled with and surrounded by dirt, yet to look at photos of
the interior you'd never know it. The outside, well, I guess there's only so much you can do with tires and dirt.
