Actor Josh Duhamel Claims 70% Apocalypse Readiness at Minnesota Cabin

Josh Duhamel has spent 15 years building an off-grid cabin in Minnesota, which he calls his "doomsday cabin," as a retreat from Hollywood and a way to reconnect with basic survival skills. He estimates he is about 70% prepared for an apocalypse, acknowledging he needs to improve his hunting, fishing, and food stockpiling abilities. The property, initially lacking running water and electricity, is located about an hour and a half from Fargo, North Dakota, and has expanded over time to accommodate his family, including his wife Audra Mari and their young son, as well as his older son from a previous marriage. Duhamel emphasizes that while the cabin is often labeled as a prepper's safehold, his motivation is more about returning to his roots and living simply, rather than preparing for an imminent doomsday. He finds value in escaping technology and distractions, focusing instead on practical skills and spending quality time with family. Despite the doomsday label, Duhamel does not believe society is in a dire situation but appreciates having survival skills as a precaution.
