As this cabin in Holyoke, Minnesota proves, post-apocalyptic shipping container life can be lovely. Built around two shipping containers on stilts, this cabin is totally off the grid - though the windows mean it's not quite zombie-proof.
According to Dornob:
Paul Stankey (and family) not only bought his structural materials on the cheap, but also used simple do-it-yourself processes to construct his cargo container house step by simple step – starting with pipes to leverage the containers off of the trailer attached to his truck.

DISCUSSION
I'm a typical suburban split level home kinda guy, yet for some reason a modular home made from shipping containers really appeals to me.
Over a decade ago I worked at a place that built laboratories and computer centers in standard shipping containers that could be landed pretty much anywhere in the world (typically, some island in the Pacific) as part of a massive scientific expedition. It was pretty cool, in a post-apocalyptic high-tech kind of way.
These containers can go by ship, rail, air, or road. Sort of the ultimate mobile home.
