Should the apocalypse rear its ugly head, Josh Duhamel needs to be ready. In a current interview, the Jupiter’s Legacy alumnus revealed he is been busy constructing a covert compound someplace in the North Dakotan wilderness that he believes might be self-sustaining if the world ever begins to shut down.
“I’ve become a bit of a doomsday prepper, I guess,” Duhamel stated in a current chat with Inverse. “I’m learning how to hunt. I have wells. 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. It keeps my lizard brain active.”
Duhamel added that he obtained the concept after studying James Wesley Rawles’ Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse.
“[The book] is about these guys who had this little community where everybody had their own specialty. One was weapons, one was canning, one was construction, one was medical. And if you didn’t have something to bring to the group, you were out,” the actor added. “I’m not saying I’m that crazy about it, but it is a comforting feeling knowing that I could survive out there.”
Though he would not significantly get pleasure from the concept of wounding animals, the actor stated he is attempting to find out how to hunt and costume deer in order that his household would have ample meals to eat if want be.
While he had to put up with outhouses for the first decade he owned the land and budding compound, he is since managed to get wells and sewer programs in place. Though he determined to preserve a pair of the outhouses for nostalgic functions, he is getting issues up to velocity technology-wise.
“We have TVs out there now. I have internet thanks to Elon Musk’s Starlink,” Duhamel concluded. “It’s been great actually. I don’t know if you ever tried Starlink, but that is like fast internet and it’s literally coming from space. Like I said, we’re not roughing it anymore.”
