I thought I would share my new idea and see what help/comments the participants on here could offer.

I am considering buying several acres up above 7,000 feet in the mountains of southern New Mexico.

My thought is to set up a storage rental facility for preppers. Of course, I will rent to non-preppers as well.

People could cache supplies in a space ranging from the size of a closet to a 40 foot container. They could store food, water, seeds, equipment, or whatever to use in case of disaster.

We could also offer space outside to store motorhomes, trailers, or other vehicles.

That way, a person living on a modest income in a city apartment or home could have a BOL with like-minded folk ready in case of dire emergency.

We would offer on-site security with a good fence and sturdy storage units. The site will have a good well to supply water as well as a septic system for RV dumps.

We would have a separate storage area for fuels and other flammables since those are dangerous to keep in storage rooms.

The climate there is cool and dry, ideal for storage.

Note that this area is great for camping vacations, skiing trips, hunting in the adjoining national forest, etc.

For those concerned about micro novas, pole flips, etc. I think that 7,000 feet East of the Rockies will be high enough, despite what Mr. Vogt says.

I will consider doing group orders of food, canning jars by the pallet, etc. to offer savings to all.

If I do this, I will be selling my fully functional homestead here south of Houston with a stocked pond, deep well, large barn, 4 bedroom house, backup generator, extensive gardens, chicken yards, etc. I could even throw in Sweetheart, my Jersey cow, who is in milk right now.
