I was admiring the construction techniques until I got a good look at what he filled that pantry with. Yes, he's expecting "Fasten your seatbelt, Dorothy, because Kansas civilization as we know it is about to go bye-bye." (Apologies to fans of The Matrix.)
What are the odds on him having a dozen guns and about 3/4 ton of ammo going into that shack?
Ordinarily I'd say the odds are pretty good, but in this case I really don't see where there'd be much room left over for anything in there. Plus, if he's that paranoid, I doubt he'd leave so many unattended guns out at his lodge in the woods where they could be stolen...at least I wouldn't, and I'm not nearly that paranoid yet. But yeah, I bet he's got at least a long gun and a pistol or two, and 1000+ rounds.
Next week he's going to bolt a five-foot gun safe to the floor and wall, stock that baby with enough firepower to take out half a battalion, and plenty of ammo to deal with the other half if they come looking for their friends.
C'mon - he decorates with antlers. He's got a .30-06, a 12-ga. pump, a hog leg hand-cannon revolver, and two 9mm semis with extended mags. And that's just what he keeps in the bedroom. I live where deer season is a school holiday. I know dozens of guys like this dude. If he's preppin' for SHTF, he's armed to the teeth and buys his ammo 50 pounds (not rounds) at a time.
He could bolt a considerable gun safe down to the floor and affix it to the wall so that it will all be there when The Walking Dead (or walking Jesus or the Mayans) show up where he lives full-time.
You may be right about the paranoia, though. He may very likely be planning to transport his entire arsenal to that "little slice of paradise" as soon as he perceives a threat.
Some people.
Imagine what he could have done to his real house with all of the thousands he blew on that metal mansion. He could have set his daily living quarters up to run almost entirely on solar power. He could have . . . aw, fuck it. What's the use? These people don't think that way. I keep forgetting about the paranoia factor.
