Josh Duhamel revealed his “doomsday cabin” in Minnesota is almost ready for a potential apocalypse.
“Well, I have enough. Not 100 percent. Probably 70 percent,” the “Transformers” actor told People about whether his home was ready for a world-ending catastrophe.
In addition to finishing his cabin, Duhamel said he still needs to brush up on some of his skills.
“I could be a better hunter, I could be a better fisherman. I could stockpile a little more food supply,” he confessed.
Earlier this month, the “All My Children” alum, who shares son Axl, 12, with ex Fergie, and son Shepherd, 1, with wife Audra Mari, revealed the “calling” that made him relocate from Los Angeles.
“I make movies and TV shows, and I love it, I truly do love it, but I had this calling to go and really do things with my hands again — fix things, make things and just do the basic things that we take for granted,” he told People.
“I’m really more of a guy who wants to stay true to my roots, get back to the basics, hone whatever basic skills I need in this world of massive technology, to do the basic things to provide for my family,” the “Las Vegas” actor, 52, added.
“That’s really what it’s about for me.”
Duhamel, who built a “doomsday cabin” on his land an hour-and-a-half outside Fargo, N.D., said his home “feels done” and is “completely livable now” after previously not having electricity, running water and other amenities for a while.
“We get so accustomed to all these luxuries and these amenities that we have … and I think that’s what this is for me — it’s an opportunity to get back to the basics and really enjoy the simple things in life, and that’s family, that’s friends, that’s making memories,” he told the outlet.
In 2023, Duhamel revealed that he was leaving Hollywood and relocating to a cabin estate in the Minnesota woods in case “s–t hits the fan.”
“I’ve become a bit of a doomsday prepper, I guess,” he told Inverse at the time. “I’m building something so if things do go south, I have a place to take my family.”
Duhamel’s remote home also has a custom water filtration system and comes equipped with a Starlink internet connection.
