    If SHTF, Which Celebrity Do You Want in Your Bunker?

    Tom Hanks would definitely make the movie nights epic, but I’d worry he’d want us to start naming volleyballs by week two. Bear Grylls is a hard pass from me—no way am I eating beetles for breakfast, even if he promises they’re “full of protein.” I’d probably pick someone like David...
