There have been a couple of threads recently about BOB shelters and things- This may be the ultimate portable (sort of) shelter.

What was the price? All I could see was a link to fill out to get a price quote?

Looks nice but is waaaaaaay overpriced to be obtainable by John Q. Public, IMO!! Oh my, yes. But the basic technology-a BIG plastic bag, a hepa filtered vacuum cleaner exhausting into it, assorted batteries, inverters, solar panels, generators-it all looks like something that we slap together for a bunch less. If the air moving device was big enough, the bag would only have to be tight enough to maintain positive pressure. I guess someone is buying this stuff, somewhere. Probably elected officials, using our tax dollars. *sigh*

This looks like it is designed to be set up indoors. That would explain why there is no solar panels. I would rather just tape the plastic drop clothe over the windows and vents and spend the other $9450.00 on my other prep needs.

Basically this is what my plans allow for by sealing up my garage with provisions allowed to bring in air, exhaust co2, and have antenna/power runs through the exterior brick walls.
The garage allows additional room for berthing, bathroom, food preparation, c3, workbench, and meeting area.

This has got me thinking,,,,,as dangerous as that is for me,,,,
I've started looking for a 3 room tent to do car camping with the entire family.
Setting that up in my garage would increase personal privacy a bit, and would make better use of 1 wall by using cots and/or inflatable mattresses inside of my garage shelter.
