"He waved me over to the nuclear, biological, and chemical air filtration unit for the condo and explained that they had three military-grade filters each providing 2,000-cubic feet per minute of filtration..." That'll work. Until Vic and Blood come along with a sack full of rags, plastic sacks, a tarp to plug up the air intakes ... then wait to hear the Screamers.

Defense is usually the aspect preppers most enjoy giving consideration, not something they short change.

  They enjoy thinking about set-piece scenarios against enemies who give up and fight the way they want them too. They're really bad at considering the actual logistical and tactical issues i.e. have they adequately cleared trees and cover from the bunker entrances, are the air intakes able to be shielded from gun fire which might pierce the filter assemblies, do they have adequate overlapping covering positions for them, how do you replace an air intake filter clogged with soot from someone burning a bonfire upwind for a few days, do you have adequate surveillance to cover nightfall? I mean a fairly obvious problem is that starting a big fire near the bunker is more or less going to both clog the air filters and completely blind and destroy most surface surveillance gear...which let's you get in close and then duct-tape the air intakes up.

    > They enjoy thinking ... They're really bad at considering Have you ever had one of these people talk your ear off? Hidden, remote ventilation intakes, surveillance, hidden escape hatches to flank their opponents, and overlapping cover are the sort of thing they spend their waking hours planning, dreaming, building, and earning money to afford. Saying they're bad at considering logistics and tactics is like saying Lord of The Rings nerds are bad at considering the lore. Come on.

    You are over complicating things. The plan is to go out and mow down anything that moves.

Many have secondary vents so they'd need to find all of them.
