Back before screen-sporting digital cameras existed, you had to wait to see the photos you'd taken. The Camp Snap Camera aims to return to this simpler time with a vintage-style, screen-free build. It has only a shutter button and flash selector switch for controls and uses an 8-megapixel sensor and LED flash to capture film-like photos. The rechargeable battery can take 500 photos per charge and the camera can hold 2,000 photos at a time; they can be offloaded via USB-C or SD card. Thanks to its sturdy build and simple design, the camera is extremely rugged, and offers no distractions, leaving you free to enjoy the moment.
During the height of the Cold War, the US government built 1,000 nuclear ICBM silos across the country, mostly in the Great Plains. As the threat of nuclear war with the Soviets waned, over half of the sites were decommissioned — making them ideal doomsday bunkers for the ultra-rich and paranoid. The Survival Condo Project repurposes these sites built to withstand sustained nuclear war, converting them into condos that can support a family nearly indefinitely.
