Is it ever explained how the Mountain Men survived for the 50-ish years BEFORE they realized the blood of grounders staved off the effects of radiation? Was the bunker initially safe and started to fail and thus the need for grounder bood developed? But if that's the case, then how did they survive the initial failure  if even now with grounder blood they are only able to survive a few minutes of exposure? I just was thinking as I watched the finale and they said there was no other way and they would never stop - why don't you go back to doing whatever you did before you started bleeding grounders?
