Josh Duhamel is staying forward of the sport.
The actor could dwell in Hollywood the place he’s gotten to dwell the dream of being Jennifer Lopez’s husband in Shotgun Wedding and preventing alien robots in Transformers — but when it ever comes all the way down to it, he’s able to commerce all that in to dwell off the grid.

In an interview with Inverse final week, the 50-year-old shared that he’s engaged on build up a disaster-ready property deep within the wilderness within the occasion of a “doomsday” occasion. He informed the outlet:
“I’ve become a bit of a doomsday prepper, I guess.”
This isn’t to say that Josh feels a storm is coming any time quickly, or has any speedy plans to depart the limelight. But he needs a little bit of insurance coverage if the day ever have been to come back. He shared:
“I’m learning how to hunt. I fish. I’m building something so if things do go south, I have a place to take my family.”
Honestly not a nasty thought! Maybe he’s been watching The Last of Us! LOLz!
The Life as We Know It star shared that he’s been getting his fingers soiled whereas constructing the North Dakota property, which sits on a lake in the midst of nowhere:
“I have a tractor. I have a skid steer. I’m changing tires. I’m changing oil. I’m fixing things. I’m moving dirt, I’m popping rocks. There’s this 2-mile road through the woods to get out there. When you see that lake, it’s like your blood pressure drops by 25 percent.”
On how the property got here to be, he defined:
“It started with one little cabin in the woods with no electricity and no water. We would go and we didn’t wanna stay for more than a day or two. You could tell the mice had overrun it. It was disgusting. Then, the cabin on the property next to that one went up for sale, and I bought it for like nothing; this beautiful little idyllic cabin on the water. Suddenly I had 54 acres out there. So I had two cabins, one with no electricity or water. They both have wells and electricity now, but they’re both really small. We shaped the land. We created trails through it. I’m actually growing crops out there.”
He proudly added:
“We started with clover and chicory and stuff, mostly just to feed the deer. It was my first time ever tilling, you know, clearing a space of land and tilling it and seeding it. This year I’m gonna grow pumpkins and corn.”

Wow, props to Josh! That seems like a TON of labor! But it’s all price it to him to ensure his household can have a protected place in case “s**t hits the fan.” He defined:
“I have this crazy fixation on what happens if sh*t hits the fan in LA and I have to take my family out there and live off the land.”
The Buddy Games: Spring Awakening director added:
“We have water. We have fuel. I’m building something so if things do go south, I have a place to take my family. And I believe that we could live off the land out there. I’m not very good at it yet, but I’m getting there.”
Sounds like he’s properly on his manner!
Josh was married to Fergie from 2009 to 2019, and the 2 welcomed son Axl in 2013. He’s since remarried with mannequin Audra Mari, however we’re certain if issues have been to go south, he’d make some room in that additional cabin for his child momma.
