Atlas Shelters

<p>Atlas Survival Shelters in Montebello was started by a man who makes luxury metal doors for Beverly Hills homes. After having difficulty finding a proper bomb shelter, he decided to build his own. Visiting Atlas, you only get a whiff of the Right Wing Prepper tendencies that seem to inform the place, like a magazine they make about bunkers with a cover showing an armed man surveying the landscape behind a stack of sandbags. On their website, hundreds of photographs show their corrugated metal shelters furnished in a midwestern style, complete with decorative oar, a painting of dogs playing poker, and large wooden letters spelling out FAMILY. But it’s not all family values. Another outfitted with a sign that says “Danger, Man Cave Enter at your own Risk” feels more literal than usual, given the circumstances. Included here is a 318 page PDF of the very thorough <em>Nuclear War Survival Skills</em> hosted on their sibling site ki4u.com.</p>
