They float, too!!!


 Quoting: Physicist


What happens when the "rocking and rolling" is over and the pod has settled back down on the ground ... on the only exit out of the pod?! Can the thing be rolled over to free the hatch, or do the people just stay trapped inside until the air runs out or they starve?

I have to say, I LOL'd when they reversed the truck into it. The sound is hilarious. And they really don't care about that beat-up truck, do they?!!

EDIT - also a bit of a PITA if it stops rolling with the hatch facing down or blocked.
I think I'd want two hatches or a tin-opener.

That has to be one of the most stupid survival ideas ever.

So, what if I want to num.2 inside of one of those things?
1 John 1–3._ 1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God.

Considering the fact that he didn't save himself from being stoned, whipped, tortured, crucified and finally pierced with a spear, the odds of anybody being saved by him during an apocalyptic event are the same of a puppy falling in a nest of fire-ants and survive.

1...If it lands on the door...you're dead.

2...Looks like it weights too much.

3...You could call it a lawn ball to get around the zoning officer...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1211208


Touche!

aaa

And still there's the huge possibility of it roll over and crash you when you're trying to get out.

One Chinook wind off the Rockies and I would end up in Lake Ontario, a little worse for wear.

Does it fold open for sunny days?

Asleep at the wheel again, it's a fucking Igloo with a basement, that should be a Canadian invention.

 Quoting: ...333...

Small is good, if China is going to level off 7 mountains for housing that is how places like Haiti should be rebuilt and leave the flat land to do the jello thing. I'm sure there is enough bent drill-stem and shipping containers around that could be joined so that some sort of sway but not fall structure could be made that would survive any size quake short of the whole island sinking.

If only the world would realize how pointless all this apocalyptic prepping would be if they would just turn to Jesus Christ as their Savior. He will protect those who love Him according to the promises in His Word! He created the World, after all, He is more than capable of taking care of those who love Him!

...but good luck with your giant coconut!
