The caves look cool but the Prepper links on that page make me very wary of the kinds of neighbors you'd have there!

- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoWhy? Prepping is a common hobby among the rich: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/30/doomsday-prep-for-the-super-rich https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/30/doomsday-prep-...
- gnu8 9y agoHow does the fact that the preppers are rich argue against being wary of them?
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoWell there's a general perception of preppers as being paranoid, gun-toting, aggressive hillbillies, and the fact that it's often done by the top 1% shows that it's kind of an inaccurate stereotype.

- jsjohnst 9y agoI’m not sure where you got that perception, it’s certainly not the general one in my opinion. Breaking it down... Paranoid, yes. Gun-toting, usually. Aggressive, sometimes. Hillbillies is where I have to call it though. I’d argue there’s as many rich as there are anything else, if not more. I don’t know about you, but I’d be a little wary of folks preparing for a doomsday. Not saying I’d never consider it, but generally they are going to be a bunch uneasy with others, hence I’m going to be cautious around them.
- Tinyyy 9y agoThat’s a really interesting article, thanks for bringing it up!
- oh_sigh 9y agoYou're way out in the middle of the most rugged portion of the ozarks on a 170 acre plot. If you don't want to encounter neighbors you don't need to.
- throwaway5752 9y agoThe rest of that arkhaven.org site makes me think that highlighting the cave listing is a bit of lede-burying.
